The Ingenuous Spell

Kagome woke up groggily, opening one crystal, blue eye lazily as she took in her surroundings. It appeared it was still night time and Kagome couldn't help but groan at the thought of trying to fall asleep again. She let out a small sigh then looked up at the sky exhaustedly. The view was lovely. The waxing, silver-colored moon was glowing brightly among the dim stars, and then there was the tall tree's swaying softly with the breeze, drowning out Inuyasha's light snoring, and various-colored, wild flowers could be spotted around their make-shift camp. The young girl smiled, the Feudal Era might have been dangerous and inhospitable but it certainly was beautiful.

'Beautiful…just like Inuyasha....' she thought lightly. Suddenly the pretty miko suddenly shook her head vehemently, and frowned. 'Why can't I just want his friendship? Why do I have to be so selfish and want what I can never have? Why?'

A furry thing snuggling her suddenly interrupted her train of thoughts, and she glanced down to find a shivering kitsune. "Oh, Shippo, I'm sorry…" she murmured quietly, noticing she had accidentally stolen all the covers from her adopted son. The school girl covered him back up quickly, then settled herself back in to get some rest. It would probably be morning soon, and yet another tiring day of shard hunting. She'd need her strength. "Inuyasha, someday, you'll know the truth about how I feel for you…because someday I'll have the courage to tell…." were her final words, before she drifted off to a land of dreams.

Something was jerking her back and forth, and she awoke abruptly, with a scowl plastered on her face. "Bitch, wake up! I'm hungry, and you're cooking! Wake up!" Kagome attempted pushed Inuyasha away, but he was still shaking her furiously.

"I'm up, I'm up! Just stop shaking me…" she said irritably. The handsome, hanyou immediately released her, smirking at her the whole damn time. His golden eyes taunted her almost playfully, and his white hair framed his face making him look indescribably wonderful.

"Kagome, good you're awake." a sweet, but angry voice suddenly chimed in. It was her best friend. The miko whirled around to face a dark-haired, curvy demon slayer.

"Oh thank kami, you're here Sango, this baka over here was trying to kill me." Kagome replied, looking ready to cry and kill someone at the same time. Sango twitched; it seemed she wasn't having a great morning either. "It's better than being molested until you wake up!" she shrieked, pointing to a sheepish Miroku. "Well, you just so lovely lying there, I couldn't resist." He said as his hand inched towards her butt yet again.

'1…2…3…' Kagome counted in her head. Then….SLAP! A second later another red hand imprint found its way onto the charming monk's face. Kagome cringed at the loud sound then turned around to find Inuyasha picking on her dear, little Shippo. "OSUWARI!" she shrieked.

SLAM! "Bitch!" the dog-demon yelled into the ground. Kagome sighed loudly, then shuffled over to her huge backpack. "I guess I'll make some breakfast now." She said warily. Her friends, even Inuyasha, stopped their bantering briefly to acknowledge her. A small smile appeared on her face as she looked at all of them and thought 'Yet another peaceful day in the Feudal Era.'
