Kagome wish she could have said that things were more.....romantic between her and her favorite Hanyou.
But that was a fantasy.
Everything went back to normal, as if that night on the rooftop never happened and Kagome was utterly confused.
Did she insult him somehow?
Or maybe she said too much?
'Im going to give myself a serious headache!'
Things indeed went back to normal after InuYasha's and Kikyo's meeting, that following morning they set off south to look for another whiff of Naraku.
And you would think that would be simple, since the night of the new moon was approaching.
Kagome mentally sighed and InuYasha, once again, got on all fours to sniff the dusty earth. Genko and Shippo where playing with Kagome's spare deck of playing cards in the small bicycle basket. Kagome wasn't sure if they were playing anything, it looked like go fish but they where throwing the cards at each other ninja style....
"InuYasha, shouldn't we find a campsite for the night?" Kagome suggested.
"His stench is everywhere and you want to stop?!"
"But InuYasha it's the turning of the cycle!" Shippo perked up from the bicycle basket.
"Keh!"
"Would you rather Naraku find you out in your human form?" Miroku inquisited already knowing the answer.
"Keh!"
Everyone took that for a yes and started wandering off the path to find an abandoned clearing of some sort.
PB
They succeeded indeed but not only that! They found a rarity, a nice steaming hot spring to relax in.
Kagome and Sango lowered themselves, donned in towels, into the hot water, resting against smooth rocks and the towels protecting their bodies from the slippery stones beneath the water. While they were cautious, Shippo and Genko flung themselves in the water; Shippo having a ducky tube around his waist and Genko having bright orange water wings around his upper arms.
Kagome and Sango did theie best to avoid the waves of splashes from Genko's and Shippo's water war, and failed miserably.
"So...Kagome-chan..."
"Hai? (Yes?)"
Sango bit her bottom lip trying to find someway of wording her question and at the same time keeping herself from swallowing the hot water that the mischievous boys not so far away were sending at them.
"What were you and InuYasha doing on the roof?"
Kagome blinked stupidly and blushed a pretty color.
"Oh...you heard us?"
"Kind of hard when you two are bickering" Sango giggled and she ran a bar of lily scented soap up her arm.
"Um.....well.......he told me how he found Genko...."
"Oh? About how Kikyo found him I take" Sango fought to hide her growing smirk.
"Yea he also...um"
"You don't have to tell me Kagome-chan"
Kagome blushed and visibly sunk herself in the steaming depths.
"He......told me what Kikyo told him and we....." Kagome turned red as the fire rat robe as she remembered the soft feel of InuYasha's lips against hers, and how he looked like a war god with the moonlight cloaking him.
Sango knew she was torturing her poor female companion because her face was turning colors faster with every passing second.
"You had a moment of intimacy?" Sango inquisited trying to keep her innocence look on as long as possible.
Kagome gave out a relieved sigh and her face was almost back to her normal color....ALMOST!
"Did you kiss?" Sango was starting to loose her battle to keep her smirk hidden.
Kagome sunk deeper and concentrated on the playing boys that resided in the middle of the springs.
Kagome's mind flew back to the moment to when they first kissed, his eyes glazed over with a passion she only saw once before....that was when he was trying to kiss Kikyo through her. Kagome mentally shuddered at the memory but when she thought back to his eyes, his emotional betraying eyes.....they were almost like that.....though they were more alive, and not dull with pain...but live with a passion....
"...he kissed me...." she murmured aloud so only her and Sango could hear. Sango smiled and sunk down to Kagome's level in the pool.
"But....he's acting like it never happened" Kagome sighed.
Sango bit her lip out of concern for her friend...she was right, he acted his normal stubborn self and treated Kagome the same...
"Why don't you ask him about it, it's near sunset and he'll be turning into a human soon...talk to him about it then...." Sango suggested as cracked her neck and got out of the water and resided on a rock that was high enough that only her toes could skim the surface of the pool.
"I guess...."
PB
The four got out of the water sometime later and was back at camp; Miroku took on the charge of cooking some rice and noodles while the girls bathed. He smirked when they came back into the ring.
"How was your bath ladies?"
"Great, especially since your wandering eyes were absent Houshi (monk)"
"Ah my beloved Sango how you misinterpret me! I couldn't gaze at your gracious curves even if I wanted to! InuYasha here is keeping me on a tight leash!" Miroku cast InuYasha a sly look.
"Monk!!!" InuYasha reached over and hit Miroku over the head with a thick log that would later be the victim of the roaring fire.
Kagome laughed lightly as she spooned out the warm noodles and rice giving everyone even portions.
InuYasha and Genko started shoveling the meal down there throats and held out there bowls for seconds before Kagome could even get her first noodle in her mouth.
PB
The sunset was an extra treat tonight for the comrades, the low tree line gave everyone a perfect view of the yellow orb sinking behind the mountain tops, but for the two hanyou's (half-demons) it was the most dreaded.
Everyone turned to InuYasha out of habit and watched as silver became black, molten gold became violet, and as his dog ears sunk into his head and human ears poked out behind his fore-locks.
Kagome heard a whimper from right next to her and let her eyes flicker down as she saw Genko turned human as well, she was startled by the fact that he had tears running down his face and that the fact his human form looked more like Kagome than InuYasha's human form.
"Are you alright Genko?" Shippo asked out of concern for his friend.
"It always hurts when you're young..."InuYasha informed the concerned group.
Kagome felt her heart sore as she reached for the young boy and drew him into her lap; she rubbed his back until the whimpering stopped.
"Why don't you sleep?"
Genko nodded his head no.
It was going to be a long night.
PB
Kagome finally got Genko to sleep in her sleeping bag with Shippo about an hour later. She rubbed his back in a soothing circular motion until she heard his light snoring. Miroku and Sango went out with Kirara to find more fire wood leaving InuYasha and Kagome the only ones in the fire ring. Kagome got up and walked to InuYasha and settled herself next to him.
They were silent, looking at the slowly dying flame and fed as much kinder as they could to keep it warm.
"InuYasha....."
"What?" his antsy voice reverberated within her for a moment before she continued.
"I'm sorry....."
"For what?"
"For what happened on the roof......" her voice trailed off sadly.
"You idiot why would you apologize for something like that!"
"Well I obviously did something to insult you! You've been acting....."
"Well?"
"Different..."
"What? Ive been acting like I always do"
"Exactly! I guess....." Kagome felt that annoying pink color flush back into her cheeks.
InuYasha bit his bottom lip and slid his arm around Kagome, forcing her to lean her head on his shoulder.
"You idiot! I don't want to hurt you!"
"Well you are...."
InuYasha sighed and pulled Kagome into his lap and hugged her fiercely.
"You big idiot! If I show affection like this constantly....it gives Naraku my weakness....and I don't want a repeat of what happened in the past...." he buried his human nose in her hair...he could still detect that scent of her shampoo "I couldn't stand seeing your go through that pain....and it would hurt more because I made the same mistake twice!"
Kagome couldn't stop the tears from falling as she buried her face in his front.
"Ahem....are we interrupting something?"
Miroku and Sango stumbled upon the scene, both with arms filled with tinder and logs for the fire. InuYasha and Kagome sprang apart, both blushing heavily and InuYasha getting up with his fist raised to hit the monk senseless.
Miroku predicted the danger and dropped the wood with a loud clack waking up Genko and Shippo and took off in the opposite direction.
"GET BACK HERE MONK!!!!"
Kagome, Sango, Shippo sweat dropped and Genko rolled his eyes and went back to sleep.
PB
Kikyo walked down the lone path her soul collectors circling her and floating aimlessly to protect their mistress.
Kikyo suddenly stood rigid her face going pale as she suddenly fell to her knees, her bow and quiver falling to her side. Her soul collectors swooped down trying to clam to spirits within her body and pushed those that were trying to escape back in.
"Hee hee so you're the woman who my master no likey"
'A child voice?" Kikyo pondered as she clutched her chest, because of the new moon she had no way of seeing in front of her.
"Show yourself!" she commanded.
Tamashii walked forward, her bowl pulsing and her pale hand tracing the rim of her bowl.
"W-who are y-you!" Kikyo stuttered out as she felt her loyal soul collectors pressing the souls of the women back into her chest.
"Hee hee hee my name is Tamashii" she sing-sung to the Kikyo "and my master Naraku no like you...he wants me to kill ye!!!" she rhymed.
It was sickening, Kikyo was in ultimate pain and here was this incarnation of Naraku making her feel like she was going to explode.
Kikyo moved her arm to grasp her bow and draw an arrow from her quiver.
She drew back on the string and heard the bow creak under the pressure.
"Hee hee do you think you can kill me?!" Tamashii disappeared but didn't lift the pressure on her souls.
"Listen well dead lady ill be coming back for ye!"
Kikyo cursed under her breath as she felt her soul collectors finally relieve her from the pain.
'Damn it'
PB
Author: I hoped you like this one, I had a bit of writers block and another twist is coming soon, not to mention an angry wolf demon and a big decision effecting Kikyo's life! And no it's not her plan.
