Kagome eyes shinned in the evening sky. The rainbow color of the sky glittered with the little bit of light the sun provided. She watched as the birds flew in a 'V' in the sky. She smiled to the the song they sang. She looked down at the river the flowed gently. Her reflection frowned back at her. The fish that swam before her stared in wonder. She slid off the rock she sat upon and walked back to camp. Inuyasha had been quite sence they left Dedorou's. Dedorou actually knew nothing of the mysterious old man and his shrine. The odd thing was, Inuyasha wouldn't even speak, and when he stared at her, she was confused. His eyes where full of guilt, grief. She tried so many times to get him to talk to her but when she asked what was wrong he'd say it was nothing. She sat in the middle of the chattering group and as she looked up Inuyasha was looking at her, but jerked his head away fast, obvipously hoping she didn't see him.

Kagome sighed, taking the obvious. The hanyou wasn't going to talk and she couldn't make him. Something soon popped up in her head. A debvious plan. She smirked 'Or can I?'

Kagome rose and Miroku looked as she walked away. He spoke up.

"Kagome? Where are you going?"

She turned and stared at Inuyasha. His eyes went wide as her aura changed. He looked at her and she was staring passionately at him. He gulped.

"I'm going to take a bath. If anyone needs me, i'll be near the river."

She walked off. Actually she did need to take a bath, but she was wondering if Inuyasha would follow after. She stopped and stood her spot.

'One...two...three...'

"Who said you could take a bath wench?"

She smiled and then put on her mad face. She turned around and glared at him.

"Who said I couldn't?"

He stopped when he saw the glare. 'Is she having mood swings or something...?'

She straightened up and sighed. She walked over and put her arms around his neck, leaning up soon after, giving him a nice, passionate kiss. Inuyasha moaned and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Ka...gome..." he said inbetween the kiss.

She broke in and twirled one of his silver locks in her finger. She put on her best puppy eyes.

"Is something bothering you?"

He didn't let go of her, but did look away. "Feh!"

She took her hand out of his hair and moved his face to look at her.

"You know you could tell me anything right?"

He looked down and sighed, "Something the old man said got to me."

"What did he say?"

He let go of her and backed away.

"Inuyasha?"

"I'm scared Kagome..."

Her eyes became soft. If Inuyasha was scared, then she would lose all hope. She walked up to him and embraced him.

"There is nothing to be afaird of. Especially you-"

"No Kagome. What the old man said. It makes it sound like I may do something that could cause me to lose you forever."

She losened the hug and looked into his eyes, "You'll never lose me."

He looked away. Her eyes showed such confidence that he didn't have at the time. 'Kagome, if I hurt you in any way. I don't know what I would do...'

"Lord Sesshoumaru!"

Rin ran to Sesshoumaru as he came out of the trees.

"Hello Rin, have you been well?"

She nodded, "Yep! What took you so long to return my lord?"

"Rin! Do not question Lord Sesshoumaru!"

She glared at the little imp. She turned back to Sesshoumaru for an answer.

"I had some erands to make."

He walk past the girl. She watched and then came beside him and looked at him.

"Lord Sesshoumaru? Where are we going?"

"Towards the Eastern lands. I have to talk some things over with my cousin."

"Your cousin?"

"I don't smell my weakling brother anywhere, and I know he has incountered him."

She stopped and climbed up on Ah-Un. They started to change directions, towards the Eastern Lands.

-

"Two more day's guys."

They all looked towards Sango.

"Zao is only two days away..."

"Well, we better get some good sleep then. Knowing it Inuyasha will push us to our limits."

"What was that monk?"

Kagome elbowed him in the side. He pouted and rubbed where she hit him. Miroku looked up to see her smiling and rubbing it too, then whispering something to Inuyasha and him soon smirking. It was odd, but Inuyasha sure had changed since that big thing between him and Kagome weeks before. He sighed. The only thing he heard so far was that Kikyo wasn't part of Inuyasha's life any longer, atleast from Kaede. Sango looked at him and smiled. He smiled back.

Kome leaned over to Shippou, "There is definately something wrong with these people, they smell very odd."
Shippou nodded and grinned, obviously understanding.

-

The sun awoke with the churps of the morning birds. Cricket's lullaby's ended and frogs became quiet. The group was wide awake and getting prepared for there movement. Kagome packed her bag, Miroku checked his stock of ofuda's, Sango checked her weapons plus Kohakus, and the two little youkai ran around the tree Inuyasha sat on. He hopped down before Kagome. She hopped on Inuyasha's back, the two taijya and the monk on the two tailed, and the kinezumi on the kitzune's. Shippou ran beside Inuyasha and soon changed into a seagull and flew with Kome. Kagome latched onto Inuyasha's haori as he sped up. The two flyers sped up as well. Their next stop. Mt.Zao.
