Chapter 2
At the hot spring
"Hey Kagome, it's about time you got here" Sango said while wetting her hair in the spring water
"Hi Sango, Inuyasha wanted me to cook ramen for him before having a bath with you and Shippo as usually." She rolled her eyes because it was a basic rutine with him. "Having fun?" She smiled
"Yeah, Shippo is somewhere about" looking around for him
Sango and Kagome around for him because usually the little guy would be shouting for Kagome since she got to the springs.
"CANNON BALL!!!" shouted Shippo forming himself into a cannon ball
"Ah!!" Sango and Kagome screamed then they all laughed
Inuyasha heard Kagome and Sango scream so he ran from the village to the springs where he heard screaming. He got there and stopped in front of them.
"WHAT'S WRONG!?" Inuyasha said to them thinking that they were in trouble
"AH PEVERT!" they screamed even louder, Kagome threw her brush at him to make him look away
"What the hell Kagome! You and Sango both screaming; making me think that you're being attacked! He said with his backed turned to them, also to hide his blushing though he's accidentally seen them naked a few times because they've screamed during their bath time before
"Oh, sorry Inuyasha, Shippo did a cannon ball in the water and scared us, so we kinda screamed" Kagome tried to say it with innocence and started to look at Sango and started a small talk saying how they scream at bath time and gets Inuyasha's attention but only because he's protective.
"Feh, stupid kid, I should've killed him after I killed the two Thunder Brothers" he smirked and turned around toward the girls and Shippo knowing that they covered their bodies by now and kept dunking Shippo head in the water, bringing his head above the water, back and forth till he could catch his breath to yell for Kagome
"Kagome!!! Inuyasha's being mean to me!!!" Shippo whined and it got Kagome's attention
sigh "Sit boy"
SPLASH!!! Inuyasha's face was in the water making him fall in but not on purpose.
"Damn... you... Kagome..." his head hit a rock in the water, is that deep, only about 3 feet deep
"Yeah yeah, I know 'I'll pay for it.' Just go to the hut, will be there in a few" Kagome tried to help Inuyasha get his head out of the water because the spell didn't really wore off completely yet.
"Grr... curse you and your incantation on me! Feh, hurry up... Miroku is getting hungry" but then all of a sudden his stomach growled but only loud enough for Kagome to hear it because she helped him out.
"Okay, we will" she said giggling and whispered "Next don't use Miroku as an excuse for you being hungry okay?"
"Feh!" he walked away crossing his arms little embarrassed; he hated it when she knew what he didn't want her to know like the fact he was hungry.
Sango Shippo and Kagome put their clothes on and headed to the hut a little after Inuyasha left, they took their time so they could talk more. Little did they know that Naraku was watching close by them; watching from a tree above them. "Pitiful humans" Just then Naraku a sent a small poison-ness insect to inject poison inside Kagome's neck without her knowing, and none of her friends will know as well, then he left as if nothing happened.
Sango thought she heard something and looked up and saw a shadow of a person for a minute What's that? It must be my imagination, oh well' and shrugged it off.
"Hey Inuyasha, were they under attacked?" Miroku said curiously
"Feh, Shippo scared them, but I did feel an evil aura but got distracted when Kagome 'sat' me" he grumbled about it.
"Ah, I see, you saw them naked again?" he said cheerfully "Lucky" he whispered trying to not let Inuyasha hear him
"HOW AM I LUCKY WHEN I GET SMACKED IN THE HEAD?!" he was still little embarrassed but yet got angry towards the pervert to make the embarrassment leave his face.
Miroku just gave Inuyasha a big smirk while Inuyasha just kept on with his word 'feh'
Shippo was in Kagome's arms (usually is), Sango and Kagome had now got to the hut noticing that Miroku and Inuyasha were talking 'I think their talking about us screaming because Inuyasha is starting to blush again when he just yelled about getting smacked in the head'
"Hi guys!" Kagome said
"Oh, Lady Kagome, hi!" Miroku in response
"Kagome can we eat now, I'm starting to get a little hungry" Shippo was whining a little but also trying to spare Inuyasha because he knew he would get angry and yell at Kagome.
"Sure Shippo, besides, I don't think you're the only one who's hungry anyways" Kagome said in laughter taking a glimpse of Inuyasha, he just shifted his head because his pride was taking over, it just made her laugh lightly more.
"Yay!" Shippo jumped out of her arms and ran around Kirara
"Feh" 'Finally she's going to cook, I'm starved!!!' as Inuyasha sat in the tree where he was earlier and was above them pretending that he was looking up and not looking at Kagome and Sango at the fire.
While Kagome was fixing some ramen for dinner. Kirara and Shippo were playing around, Miroku went to get some more firewood just incase they ran out, Inuyasha still in the tree, and Sango was just talking to Kagome and watching the two little demons play around. Sango started to notice that Kagome was begging to look a little tired. "Kagome, are you tired?" she said with concern and curiosity. Kagome didn't understand why she asked if she was tired. "No, I'm not tired, why Sango?" she sounded confused. "Well, since we've returned from the springs you've seemed to be lacking, as if your were tired, you're acting like you did when the black priestess's snake bit and poisoned you, I'm not sure." Inuyasha's ear twitched their way to listen to their conversation. "I have felt a little strange, but it's nothing serious" Kagome smiled a Sango to assure her. "Okay Kagome, if your sure" she bought the act though didn't believe her.
Miroku just returned and place the firewood near the tree Inuyasha was in. "Good timing Miroku, the ramen is done. "Ok, thanks Lady Kagome" he started to eat the ramen. Kagome walked up to the tree Inuyasha was at "Inuyasha, your ramen is done." Inuyasha jumped out of the tree and took the ramen "Feh, about time Kagome" he said as he greedily took the ramen. Then she stuck her tongue at him "Next time I'll take longer for you" and started to walk back and gave ramen to Shippo and Sango. Inuyasha just grunted and glared for a minute then sat next to Kagome at the fire as he usually did.
Shippo was in Kagome's lap when she sat down "Kagome, aren't you going to eat? he sound like he was curious as when Sango was about her looking tired. "Nah, I'm not hungry, just eat up Shippo" she again smiled to assure him also. He had pondered a little bit "Okay Kagome, if you're sure, but you never skip a meal with us." he continued to eat. They all ate quietly; Miroku looked at Kagome across the fire, seeing that she was dozing off a bit. "Lady Kagome, why don't you go into the hut and sleep, you look tired" she snapped out of it "Huh? Oh no, it's okay, I'm fine Miroku" while shaking her head 'What's wrong with me, why am I acting like this?'
Inuyasha looked at her seeing that she did look a bit tired "Kagome, go inside the hut and get some sleep." Inuyasha said while trying to hide the voice of him being concerned for her
"Inuyasha, I'm fine" trying to smile to tell him she was, but Inuyasha knew about her smiles and so it didn't work
"No, you seem tired and even look it, and you don't even have an appetite to eat. So go in the hut and rest to feel better. That way we can go shard hunting tomorrow."
"I'm fine Inuyasha, how many times do I have to say it"
"Kagome... stop, I know what you're trying to do, you're just trying to make us think your okay, and you've done this before in the past."
"Why don't you believe me!" she put Shippo where she sat and walked in Inuyasha's Forest "I'm going on a walk"
They all were curious about her "Kagome, come back" Sango said to her but she didn't listen
"Something is wrong with Kagome and I not like the look of it" Kaede while going towards the group.
"Kaede, do you know what's wrong with her, I'm getting worried" Shippo looked down sadly missing her already even if it was just a walk
"Have ye not noticed that she has been acting strange?"
