Chapter Six
"Kagome I'm hungry." Shippo's stomach growled. Kilala meowed.
"Ok then. Lets stop for lunch." She was setting everything up when Inuyasha asked her what she was doing.
"Calm down Inuyasha. We've been walking for a while now. Besides I'm hungry too." Miroku sat down.
Grumbling Inuyasha sat too. Kagome handed him his favorite dish.
The group walked on for a couple more hours. Night fell when they decided to break. "Don't you think it's weird that nothing has happened today?" Shippo questioned.
"I'm not complaining." Kagome laid down a blanket for a bed. "I wonder if there are any hot springs around here."
"You were in a hot spring last night." Inuyasha agrued. They began to fight over the simplist things.
In the trees were two demon spies. "What do you think Saige. Do they look as they could cause trouble?"
"If they do Mana, the boss will be the first to know." Her pupil-less brown eyes narrowed. "But they better not."
"I'm going to check the premises. Care to join me Sango?" Miroku asked innocently.
Sango stared at him. "No you pervert."
"I'll be back in a few then." He walked around in the woods, avoiding leaning branches. "I don't see why she has to be stuborn. It's easy to see that she likes me." He convinced himself. Hearing someone humming, he turned from his original course and move to the sound. Miroku hid behind a bush when he came upon a spring.
A head popped out of the water suddenly, and smile on the person's face. "Ahh this warm water feels good."
"Chi, we're back." Mana stated. "There seems to be some trespassers."
Chi blinked. "Oh, well what's the boss think?"
Mana put her feet in the water. "Saige went to tell her."
Miroku's eyes went wild. /What wonders! Two lovely ladies. And two more somewhere else by the sound of it./
"I could find the boss. Katrina told me to wait until she returns. In the mean time we are to watch them." Saige came from the bushes.
Miroku was lifted off the ground "You shouldn't spy." Saige stated simply.
Unlike most girls Chi didn't scream, just turned to see what her teammate found. Mana stood. "Your from that group that's camping out by the willow tree."
Saige's eyes gleamed white and Miroku found himself back at camp. He look dumbfounded. "Uhh..."
"About time you got back. I was afraid you got lost." Inuyasha laughed.
He blinked. "But I was just at a spring full of beautiful women."
"Miroku you perv!" Sango hit him again.

Ten miles or so from Inuyasha's group was another. A couple of tents were pitched. Personal fires were lit in the tents and a group fire burned brightly in the middle of the camp.
Mana, Chi, and Saige returned momontarily. Bakin and Baiko fought over food, Mana slit it with her sword. "I really wish you two would stop. I sometimes wonder why she decided to protect you." She commented.
"Have a problem with it?" Baiko challenged.
"Both of you, stop." Kat demanded. "She'll be back soon."
Bakin stood. "I hope she decides that we can torture our new company."
"You'll be lucky that she doesn't kill you for that comment." Saige's voice was even.
He was going to argue but the boss came in. She looked tired. "Problems have rose. We need to talk and plan."
Ohh a cliffy. Wonder who the 'boss' is. Remember Bakin and Baiko? You'll be surprised come the next chapter. Until then though. Chao.
