Disclaimer: .....That pretty much says it.........

You never know what you have until it's gone

It was morning. Inuyasha had told Kagome he was sorry and convinced her to sleep in his time for the night. Shippou was tucked into her sleeping bag with her, ofcourse. It was the only way the little kit would sleep now a days. Sango was sleeping with her head resting on a log with Hiraikotsou, freshly used, next to her. Miroku was spread across the ground with a huge bump on his head. Inuyasha was in a tree, not far from campsite. But he wasn't sleeping. He kept wondering. And thinking. And more wondering. How would he tell Kikyou? How would the others take it? How would he tell Kagome? He didn't know what he was going to do but whatever it was, it had to be done fast. He could smell the discusting stench of miasma. Naraku's miasma. And it was coming close. Fast.

The others awoke in the morning when they got a wiff of the stench as well. Inuyasha had awoken also, even though he had hardly got any sleep the whole night. But he awoke so, he must have gotten a couple of hours in.

"Hurry up!" he yelled at everyone down below. "Hurry your asses up. We gotta get moving before night fall. And at his rate, we'll get to the village in 3 weeks!"

"Inuyasha?" he looked down from his spot in the tree to find Kagome staring back up at him.

" What wench?!" .......... no answer. And then all of a sudden,

"Sit!!! " and then " BOOM!!!" followed by a grumbling muffled " ...bitch...."

Sango just looked at Kagome before whispering to her, "Look who's grumpy in the morning." They both giggled before heading off to a spring. That meant, the girls off together, and the guys together. Who knew what dangers this could bring.

The guys had started hunting for food while, the girls got undressed and got in the hot spring.

"Okay, I just have to ask." Kagome blurted out. "What's going on with you and Miroku?" Kagome had a hopeful and excited look on her face. Kind of like a puppy begging for treats.

"What do you mean?" Sango asked.

"Oh come on Sango, don't play dumb with me. I'm your friend, you can tell me.......... everything!!!" Kagome just smiled. Sango on the other hand, just blushed and ducked her head underwater. Just then, Kagome had a great idea. She snuck out of the hot spring, got something out of her backpack and climbed back in with Sango, who had just come up for air.

She turned her back on Sango and poored the liquid into the water. Sango got worried when her friend had stopped talking and turned her back on her.

"Kagome, Kagome are you alright?" she approached very cautiously. Right then Kagome turned around and splashed Sango right in the face. Sango yelped at the sudden change of mood in her friend. NOT to mention water splashed right in her face. She jumped back and fell in the water.Kagome didn't see her friend anywhere. She had gone under water and not even come back up after 2 minutes. She stood up and walked around the spring looking for Sango and being careful to not step on her if she was close by. Oh no, Sango was nowhere to be found. What if she had gotten water in Sango's eyes, not to mention the soap in the water that she had poured in to make soap suds and add a bit of fun. What if she- oh no, what is she drowned?!! Right then Sango jumped up from in back of her and jumped on her back. That only sent them both crashing into the water, wich was indeed, at all the movement, full of bubbles. They both went right under, laughing and giggling as Kagome tossed Sango off her back and into the water, where she jumped on her. They hadn't even realized how much noise they we're making. Not to mention screaming, laughing, and yelling. And it would have it's consequences for them. It was decided. It was to be done. It was now or never. They both stood up on opposite sides of the spring and stood there, eyes in full contact with one another. At the same precautious time, they both bent down and got some soap suds and bubbles cupped in their hands. Yup, they we're going to do it. They we're going to have........ a water fight.

"One........." said by Kagome. ".........Two......." Sango. And then it came, ".....THREE!!!!!!!!" was yelled by both of them. They flung themselves at each other. They threw bubbles at each other, always laughing and giggling in the process. It was all very fun and it would have gone on, and on, and on, until each of them we're as exhausted as could be and then relax in the hot spring giggling and telling gossip to each other. It

would be perfect if it had just happened that way. But it didn't. This is how it happened.

flashback

"I'm going to clobber you in bubbles Sango, and then I will be queen of this Hot Spring!" Kagome yelled while it was muffled by giggling sounds as she flung herself at her friend.

" Ha, like you are fit for the throne of queen of this Hot Spring. It is 'I' who will be queen." They both laughed while they got down on their knees and threw bubbles at each other. Right then 2 pairs of eyes just stared at them in disbelief. The two friends slowly turned their heads to see who the pair of eyes belonged too. One of the pair belonged to Inuyasha, who was frozen with his mouth open in disbelief. While the other pair belonged to Miroku who was admiring the scene in front of him with a grin that should have cracked his face in half. Unfortunately, it didn't.

" uh... uh....... me and Miroku heard screaming and w-we came as fast as we could but, I g-guess you two don't n-need to be saved by d-demons so-" he stopped as soon as he looked from Sango to Kagome. His eyes scaled her body. It was beautiful. She was beautiful. It wasn't the first time he had seen her naked but, this time, it was just... different. Her ebony hair trailed down her back and then some on her shoulders. Water ran down her body as it left no piece of flesh untouched. There we're bubbles all around her perfect figure. Not to mention sliding down her skin. And the light. There were three rays of afternoon sun settling across her gorgeous form. He didn't know what to say. He didn't know what to do. He just couln't help but stare at her as his eyes slid down her body-. And that was the last image he saw as his face, along with his body, collided with the ever so tasty dirt and ground. While he had been taking in Kagome's beatiful body and scent, Miroku had been doing the same to Sango. And that was when the girls had caught them. Kagome had 'SIT ' him along with Miroku as he fell to the ground with a loud "CRASH!!!" and a big lump on the head by Sango's Hiraikotsou.

The girls both turned to each other, high fived, just realized what had happened and then blushed like madmen. They quickly got dressed and ran back to camp.

End of Flashback

That was how it happened.
