chapter 19: dilema in the hotsprings

"Hey kag?" asked Sango, "wanna go for a dip in the hot springs?"

"Sure!" said kagome excitedly. "Boton, Keiko? Wanna come?"

"Yeah!" both girls answered in unison. They quickly grabbed towels and snuck off before the guys noticed their absense.

"Hey Kurama?" asked Yuske bored.

"Yeah?"

"What do you think of Kagome?"

"..."

"hello?"

"I say ask Youko." Said Kurama switching for a while.

"So what do you think of Kagome?" asked Yuske.

"I think she's awfully-"

"on seconed thought I don't wanna know." Said Yuske seeing where the fox was going.

Kuwabaka (Angel: whoops.) was talking in his sleep about kittens and Yukina, much to Hiei's annoyence.

Miroku looked up. "So where have the ladies gone?"

"Hot springs." Came the reply from everyone except Kuwabaka (Angel: why does this keep showing up?) who was snoring.

"well if that's the case..." said Miroku getting up.

"Where are you going monk?" asked Inuyasha.

"merely for a walk!" said Miroku. He put on a fegined hurt face.

"I'll go with him." Said Youko.

The two walked off. As soon as they were out of ear shot of the others Youko said, "So what's your plan?"

Miroku pulled out a hand made map of the forest. "well the springs are here so we need to sneak around these two trees, behind the bushes and we get a lovely view!"

Youko smiled. They followed the plan and sure enough had a VERY lovely view. They listened to what the girls said. After a while though Miroku stepped on a twig.

Kagome turned and look exactly where they were. Carefully she changed into her demon form and began whispering. Soon all the girls had towels on. Kagome then melted into the shadows. (Angel: remember she's a shadow fox.) suddenly Youko and Miroku felt a hand on their shoulders.

"Enjoying the view?" came Kagomes sickly sweet voice. Horrified they turned around to see a extremely angry women. Kagome grabbed their collars of their shirts and threw them into the water.

"But Kagome it was a mere misunderstanding!" said Youko.

"Bite me." Said Kagome.

"ok!"

"I didn't mean it that way you idiot!" said Kagome, her face red from anger and embarssment.

"Miroku!" yelled Sango.

The girls watched the boys run off as they got dressed.

"You got caught didn't you?" asked Inuyasha as Kurama and Miroku walked back to camp.

"The girls came back and glared at Miroku. Then Kagome walked up to Kurama.

"Tell Youko if I catch him doing something like this again I will make his punishment much worse."

Kurama heard Youko gulp in the back of his mind.

'what does she mean?' he asked.

'I don't know but shadow vixens are said to show little mercy when it comes to punishments.' Said youko.

They all quickly ate then settled down for a much needed sleep.
