A/N: I do not own any of the characters from the show, Inuyasha, as much as I want to. )
Kagome pushed back a strand of loose, raven black hair. She sighs heavily as she pushes the page of her math book, only to discover she has 30 more problems.
I don't even know why I'm doing this work, I'm probably not even going to go back to the Shrine for a few more days, she thought, adjusting the shirt of her school uniform.
"What are you doing now? Your calk-you-lus?" Sango said from behind Kagome, having trouble with the new age word for the course of math Kagome was taking.
Kagome giggled and nodded, glad to have a distraction. She shut the book, and turned to her friend, glancing upwards to the top of the God Tree to see if a certain silver-haired hanyou was watching. He wasn't. She leaned back on the tree trunk, and looked at Sango.
"Honey, we all know you want him," Sango said, a mischievous smile on her lips.
Kagome's face flushed with pink, as she shook her head.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," she said, perfectly aware of the topic Sango as referring to.
Inuyasha, she thought. If only he had a clue.. if only he weren't such a baka. She shook her head in dismay as he suddenly appeared out of nowhere. His silver locks cascaded down his shoulders in a manner only Kagome appreciated.
"Girl talk, again?" Inuyasha said, with a sneer. He sat down on the ground a few feet from Kagome, his haori spread out like a red blanket.
"Ugh, you're so nosy!" Sango said, and stood up. "Kagome, I'm going to the hot springs to take a bath, if you want to come you're welcome to,." And with an exaggerated flourish, she bounded away, to the camp, and into Lady Kaede's hut. Kagome stood up, and walked towards the hut.
"And just where do you think you're going, wench?" Inuyasha asked, stopping Kagome in her tracks.
"Um, to take a bath, in case you weren't listening," Kagome said, throwing her hair over her shoulder.
Inuyasha moved towards the tree, and placed his back against the trunk as he watched Kagome walk away, and Sango met her outside the hut.
"Coming to the hot spring with me?" Sango asked, eyeing the bag Kagome had just picked up from outside the hut door.
"Might as well. Do you have an extra towel?" Kagome asked, looking through her bag to make sure everything was there.
"Yup. I figured you'd want to come," Sango said with a smile. Kagome followed behind Sango to the hot spring, and set down her bag when they got there. She slipped out of her clothes, got her bath things out of her bag and placed them near the water and quietly slipped into the refreshing spring before Sango could see her nude body. Sango did the same as Kagome closed her eyes, and slid underwater.
"Do you have any of that nice smelling liquid?" Sango asked, referring to the body wash that Kagome often brought with her to the Feudal Era from her Era.
"Yup," Kagome responded, taking it from next to her and handing it to Sango. The lavender body wash's scent lifted through the air, leaving an intoxicating scent over their heads.
"Oh man, that smells good," a voice from the bushes said. Sango's face turned a dark shade of crimson before getting out of the spring, and placing a towel over her body.
Slap! A bright red handprint appeared on Miroku's face, and he rubbed it tenderly while walking back to camp.
"It was worth it," he muttered under his breath, half smiling. Inuyasha saw his monk friend walking towards the camp, and figured he had been caught by the way Miroku was cradling his left cheek.
"You lecher," Inuyasha said with a chuckle. This monk was notorious for getting slapped for groping on women's behinds, and also for askin them to bear his children. It made Inuyasha's blood boil the first time he asked Kagome, but there was no way he'd let anyone know that. His taunting and teasing demeanor was only a façade for the way he truly felt.
If only you knew Kagome.. Then your beautiful cheeks wouldn't become so red when I call you wench… he thought to himself, as he scratched his back along the trunk of the God Tree.
Suddenly, the hanyou's dog-like ears perked as he sniffed the air. He growled as he realized who was coming nearer and nearer to the camp.
Kikyou.
Sorry for the cliffy, all! This is my first fan-fic so bear with me on the short chapters P.
