Chapter 9

What is Naraku doing?

"Shippo, you know that was wrong… and that Inuyasha is just taking care of me the only way he can." Kagome said as she looked out the window to see the endless diamond sky. Then she came back to reality and looked down at the kit in her lap. "Shippo, what is that smell?" Kagome asked as he hugged her. "Well, I had to get by Inuyasha's nose and I knew that you got Sango some smelly stuff so I started to spray it on me… I almost could get away from it, because before I came in I was sneezing all over, because I put so much on…" Kagome just smiled at him and said after he apologizes for what he did to Inuyasha they would go and get cleaned up.

"But, he will hit me!" Shippo screamed as Kagome tried to get out of the bed once again.

"No he won't. I will be right there and with this smell all over you it's amazing that you or he didn't pass out… I think he will be in the god tree all night." Kagome said with a little sadness in her tone.

(At the god tree)

"Kagome, I am sorry. I should have never let my guard down. I should have never gone to Kikyo after I knew that I liked you… and after telling her that I was in love with you… I should have protected you…" Inuyasha said to the almost full moon.

But, Inuyasha was not left with his thoughts for long. He could hear Kagome having trouble back at the hut and Shippo was trying to help her. "That wench…she was supposed to stay in bed longer and if she thinking about heading home with that heavy bag… she has anther thing coming." Inuyasha thought as he jumped out of his place.

&&&&&&&&&

(Back with Kagome)

"Kagome are you sure you should be up!" Shippo yelled more out of concern for what Inuyasha would do to him, then if Kagome was ready or not.

"Shippo come on… I can't stand that smell on you any longer… you must have rolled around in it…" Kagome said with a little bit of laughter in her tone. Kagome stumbled a bit, but caught her balance once again. 'Stupid floor… it is trying to get me into more trouble then I need to be in' Kagome thought as she grabbed her bath bag.

Slowly Kagome emerged from her little room and she was in luck… apparently everyone else went for a walk, because the fire was out and all their fighting items were gone.

"Shippo, did everyone else leave?" Kagome asked to make sure that she was safe to continue.

"In the afternoon a woman came by talking about a demon, so the trio left, because they felt that Inuyasha had everything handled with you and I got to stay behind because I could make you a meal, while Inuyasha stayed right next to you…"

"So, you stayed to help me stay in bed." Kagome said to clear up what was cloudy.

"Yeah… wait no" Shippo said as he looked down and started to blush.

"Shippo, it's not good to lie" Kagome said as she started to walk out the door, but was stopped by something hard and she stumbled back. Inuyasha caught her and replaced her feet on the ground and glared at her.

"I thought I told you to stay in bed?" Inuyasha asked as he raised one eyebrow at Kagome. "Where is Sango I can smell her, but I haven't seen her since your room, but her fragrance is near." Inuyasha said as he looked around Kagome into the room. "Well, we were going to see you; Shippo had something to tell you…"

"Then, what is this for?" Inuyasha said as he lifted the bag in Kagomes hands. "Well, after we saw you we were going to go take a dip in the hot spring." Kagome said as she watched Inuyasha's face turned in a lost face. "Why do you need another bath wench?" Inuyasha asked as he looked at her. "You look clean and I doubt you need to take one from sleeping... So why wench?" Inuyasha demanded.

"Well, that is what we were going to see you about." Kagome said as she looked deep into his eyes. Inuyasha let out a low grumble… almost like a purr from a cat, but was more of a whine.

"Well, Inuyasha… Shippo has something to say to you" Kagome said as she rubbed Inuyasha's cheek. "Shippo"

"Ummm, I put on Sango's perfume so I could see Kagome… I put too much on and I am about to pass out from all the fumes." Shippo said while he covered his head, so Inuyasha could hit him once again in the head.

"That was what that smell was? Man that sucks for you…" Inuyasha said not thinking about what Shippo said, instead he was thinking about the gental stroke of Kagome' s hand.

"That is great, well, we are off now… come on Shippo" Kagome said as she stopped rubbing Inuyasha.

"Oh, no you don't I am not leaving you alone again… not with what happened before." Inuyasha said as he grabbed Kagomes wrist.

"Then, what are you going to do,join us!" Kagome screamed in shock.

"Yes and no… hold on…" Inuyasha said as he went through Kagomes bag.

"Here" He said as he handed Kagome her swim suit, found the one that she got him and handed the small one to Shippo.

"Now we can go…" Inuyasha said. 'Even though I have seen you naked….' Inuyasha thought to himself.

"Thank you, Inuyasha" Kagome said with a small smile on her lips. 'I can't believe he wants to do this. I would have thought he wanted to just stay in a tree till we came out… at least maybe he wants to be around me more… Baka, He would never want to be with you, it's just a fools dream.' Kagome thought to herself.

"Kagome come on, I don't have all day!" Inuyasha yelled as he started to the hot springs.

"Coming" Kagome screamed as she headed outside and ran once again into Inuyasha.

"What is it?" Kagome asked as he sniffed the air. "It's nothing" Inuyasha said as he bent down for Kagome to get on his back ready to take off.

"Wait for me Shippo screamed as he headed toward the couple.

"Fat chance" Inuyasha said as he was about to take off, but before he could make it into the air the all too annoying saying came to his ears… "SIT BOY" and he landed smack into the ground, "Hop on Shippo" Kagome said as she situated herself.

When the spell finally wore off Inuyasha once again took off to the hot spring, this tine he made it there faster then ever before, thanks to the fox on his back.

&&&&&&&&&&&

(At Naraku's castle)

"You failed me, just as the other detachments had…" Naraku said to a shadowed figure.

"I am sorry Naraku" The figure said as she bowed her head down ready to take a blow and be destroyed by its creator.

"I will give you one more chance…You will have to kill the Miko and use her body to destroy her hanyou." Naraku said as he walked away, "and if you fail… I will know remember I hold you in the palm of my hand"

(Author's notes)

Okay, I was going to do more, but if I do more I would revile to much to soon… and I have many questions that I want answers to… 1. Should there be a scene with Kagome and Inuyasha at the hit spring? 2. Who do you think is Naraku's helper? That is it for now, more than normal! Also, get the Inuyasha #2 movie it was so good, I cried, it was so sweet.
