"Why do girls take so long to do every thing?" Inuyasha complained.
He, Shippo, and Miroku had set up camp near a stream, waiting for the girls to come back from the hot spring. Inuyasha looked up at the sky. Evening was settling in, turning the sky magnificent shades of orange, red, and purple. The stars were faintly visible against the glow of the setting sun. He wondered when Kagome would be back. It was starting to get dark.
*sneak, sneak*
"Oh no you don't, Miroku." Inuyasha grabbed the collar of the monk as he tried to sneak away in the direction of the hot spring.
"I was merely going to.uh.gather more firewood." He said innocently.
"That'd be a believable story, if Shippo hadn't just gotten some half an hour ago, and if you weren't such a pervert."
"I...uh...er...."
"Look, I'm not about to have 3 girls screaming and yelling at me because you decide to be a pervert and watch them. I don't even get it. What's so interesting to you? They're just a bunch of stupid girls." Inuyasha said.
"Aah, Inuyasha. you have much to learn about the delicate flowers we call women." Miroku said wistfully.
"Oh really?" Inuyasha said as he cocked an eyebrow.
"Iiinnnuuuyyyaaassshhhaaa!!!!" a voice whined. "I'm huuunnnngggrrryyy!"
"And how is that my problem, Shippo?"
"Listen Dog-man, you promised Kagome you'd take of me!"
"Only to shut her up" Inuyasha muttered.
"Starving me does not fall under the category of 'taking care of Shippo'!" Shippo yelled angrily.
"Oh shut up! I'll get you something to eat already." Inuyasha started walking into the forest.
*sneak, sneak*
"Hey! You're coming too, Monk!" He said as he grabbed Miroku's collar again. The three of them set off to find food.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Come on, let's go. I'm getting all wrinkly." Rainey said, as she grabbed a towel and stepped out of the spring.
"O.K." Kagome said. "We never get to stay in that long. It was great!"
"Yeah, we're usually interrupted by demons, or Miroku." Sango said.
"Inuyasha must've stopped him." Kagome said as she patted herself dry.
"Oh I bet he did. Especially since Kagome asked him to." Rainey said as she started to pull her jeans on. Sango nodded in agreement as she slipped into her sandals.
"Exactly what is that supposed to mean?" Kagome asked suspiciously.
"Don't play dumb." Sango said as they walked backed to where Inuyasha had said they'd set up camp.
"Yeah we all know what's going on between you and Inuyasha. It's completely obvious. Even I picked up on it, and I've only been here about 2 months"
"What? I have no idea what you two are talking about." Kagome said as she began to redden.
"We're talking about you and Inuyasha." Sango said
"About how you two are completely into each other." Rainey chimed in.
"About how you two are pining for each other."
"About how stupid you two are for not doing anything about it."
*choke*
"WHAT? 'Pining for each other'? Were you guys in that hot spring too long? Are you seeing purple dots? No way! Inuyasha and I are just friends. Besides, he's in love with Kikyo.not me." Kagome said, somewhat desolately.
"And what about you?" Sango asked.
"Me? Well, I'm too busy with school and finding the jewel shards to be worried about a love life in feudal Japan. Plus, Inuyasha can be such a jerk! Why on earth would I be interested in him? Of course I don't like him." Kagome shot back.
"Yeah right. Kagome, you don't lie very well." Rainey said.
"Ya know, it's O.K. Kagome. You can tell us." Sango said softly, putting a hand on her friend's shoulder.
"I honestly don't like him." she trailed off.
Rainey and Sango continued to look at her, determined to stare her down. Kagome looked down at the ground for a while. Then she looked up at the dark blue velvet sky embroidered with stars and encrusted with the full silver moon.
*sigh*
"I guess." she finally began. " since you guys seem absolutely confident on this theory, I guess there's no point trying to convince you otherwise."
"Yep, no point at all." Sango said. "We'll never stop bugging you."
"So you might as well just tell us." Rainey added.
Kagome stopped walking to look down at the ground again. Then in a faltering voice she said:
"I...
*turns a bright shade of red*
... really like...
*turns an even brighter shade of red*
...Inuyasha."
By now Kagome looked like a ripe tomato with raven black hair.
"Oh Kagome." Sango squealed.
Rainey and Sango embraced their crimson friend in a tight hug, giggling and smiling.
"So what will you do?" Sango asked as they continued to walk.
"Absolutely nothing. Inuyasha has given his heart to Kikyo. I won't come between that."
"Ya know, if you want a man, you're gonna have to be more aggressive than that." Rainey said.
Kagome changed the subject. "You guys have to swear not to tell, O.K.? And please keep the squeal and giggles to a minimum."
"Well of course we won't tell? Right Sango?" Rainey said.
"Right. And besides, we're mature women. We wouldn't squeal in front of him."
"O.K." Kagome said feeling better fully believing her friends.....
Then they got to the campsite.
"Hello ladies." Miroku greeted them cheerfully, obviously happy to have more company than a ticked off dog demon and a whiny fox child.
"What the heck took so long, Kagome? I was getting ready to come and see if you guys were okay." Inuyasha said.
Smiles slowly spread across Rainey and Sango's faces.
*snicker*
*giggle*
Rainey put her hand over her mouth so she wouldn't yell out loud "That's so cute!" Sango gave up, and started to giggle behind her hand as if she were in the 5th grade. Inuyasha stared at the two girls, one pink from giggling her brains out and the other crying from trying not to squeal.
"What's so freakin funny? Inuyasha demanded.
"Oh man." Kagome muttered.
*snicker*
*giggle*
