Irritated by Inuyashas response, that he didn't want her to get eaten by a fish, Kagome stormed back to the hut that Kaede lived in. Her fist tightly grasped the momentarily forgotten Shikon No Tama. I wish He wasn't so suspicious! I wish he trusted me more.
Yeah. It would be great if he believed me when I said that I wasn't- uh-oh. Pastel pink surrounded Kagome. Her hair fanned out, and she rose from the ground, her toes skimming the grass. She dropped the jewel in surprise, and it disappeared.
"Oh, wonderful." She muttered sarcastically, when the glow dissipated, and she was set gently back on the ground. This may surprise you, it certainly surprised Kagome, but the first thing she noticed after normality returned, was the sound of the stream.
Taking a deep breath, Kagome stepped up to the door, and went in.
"Oh, thank god." She heard Kaedes voice groan.Had the old miko been worried about her? Apparently. But then anger flared in her. Doesn't she think I'm old enough to watch out for myself?! Obviously not!
"Kagome, wheres Inuyasha?" Shippou asked, the little kitsunes eyes wide, as they always were. Her anger diminished, looking in the little boys innocent face. "he was supposed to tell you..." He faltered, looking pleadingly at Kaede.
"Inuyasha was supposed to tell you that the Shikon No Tama has reappeared. You and Inuyasha are to look for it, child." The priestess said gently. Kagome chuckled, and Shippou and Kaede stared at her. Didn't she realize this was serious?
"I'm sorry." Kagome apologized contritely. Kaede raised an eyebrow, something the young girl had always wanted to be able to do. "I know about that already. I found it, while I was bathing. Inuyasha ran into me there." Kaede looked at her surprised.
"And you weren't embarrassed, not wearing any cloths? Or did you just sit him?" She inquired. Kagome blushed furiously.
"I was wearing a bikini." Kagome explained." I didn't want to be caught actually naked by Miroku or Inuyasha.
"Ah." Kaede commented. Kagome had neglected to mention what a bikini was.
"A bikini is what I'm wearing now." Kagome said, seeming to sense the older womans confusion. She glanced over at Miroku, who was inching his hand toward Sangos posterior. She heard a sharp crack, and the creak of the door opening.
Inuyasha stood at the door, carrying Kagomes cloths, which he dropped an her head. Not a single sound could be heard, except Inuyashas light footsteps. Wisely, nobody said a word, as the hotheaded Hanyou stalked back out the door.
Kagome slipped out after him, shivering in the chill dawn air of spring. She saw the silhouette of Inuyasha, laying in the thick, strong branches of Goshingboku. The young miko watched as he pulled himself into a sitting position, presumably to watch the sun rise.
