"How am I supposed to know? You might actually have to work for your results this time, Mutt-Face!" Koga yelled back.
"What did I tell you about the Mutt-Face thing?" InuYasha yelled.
InuYasha made a dash for Koga and swung his fist at him. Koga ducked, resulting in the blow landing square on Kagome's left cheek. The blow knocked her over and she landed on her backside. A red welt already began to form on her face and tears were welling in her eyes.
"You stupid Mutt-Faced idiot!" shrieked Koga. "Look what you've done!"
"Yeah, well, she should have moved when she saw me coming."
When Kagome heard this, she shut her eyes more tighyly and let her hot tears roll down her face.
"I-InuYasha...don't you care about me?" she asked in tears.
"Kagome...I'm sorry..of course I care." said InuYasha apologetically.
"Thank goodness...in that case..." she looked him in the eyes, "SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT!"
InuYasha went flying deep into the ground. Koga turned and pushed dirt in after him, burying him.
"Are you alright, Kagome?" asked Koga.
"See what happens when you to fight?" she cried. "Just knock it off!"
InuYasha then blasted out of the ground, landing next to Koga.
"Your just lucky I'm so busy. Otherwise I'd beat you to a pulp." he said coldly. Then he turned to Kagome, "I'm sorry I hit you." he said quietly.
"Forget it." she said dryly. "Lets just keep going. We're making bad time."
They continued down the yellow road, each wondering where they were headed.
"Miroku?" Sango asked.
"Yes, Sango?" Miroku replied cheerfully.
"Do you think this is a good idea? I mean, we don't even know where we're going. Shouldn't we think of a plan at least?" she asked.
"An excellent suggestion, Sango. But the problem is that we don't have a choice. When we came here, we had no options. We were faced with a 'one way road' if you will." Miroku answered.
"Yes, I guess your right." she abmitted.
"As I usually am." he gloated.
She merely smiled at him.
"So, Sango. On such a beautiful day, wuold this be a bad time to ask you to bear my chil..." his question was cut short by a slap in the face.
"I suppose not." he admitted to himself sadly.
Further up ahead was Koga. He kept looking behind him to make sure everyone was following.
"C'mon, you guys! Keep up!" he called back to them.
"I'm so tired!" complained Kagome. "Can we please rest?" she pleaded.
"Anything for my future mate." laughed Koga.
Kagome's face flushed a deep red.
"Think of it this way: When we settle with our little family in a decent den, we can do all sorts of fun things with our little cubs." Koga said happily.
"Hold on! Just how many cubs do you think we would have?" asked Kagome, surprised.
"Well, twelve would be about enough. That would be handy when I need help hunting." Koga said cheerfully.
"Twelve cubs isn't going to happen, Koga." she told him.
"I wouldn't object to more at all." said Koga.
"Thats not what I meant! You know as well as I do that I can't be your mate." she told him quietly, hoping the comment would avoid the ears of the group.
"Time will tell. I aint giving up on you any time soon." said Koga with very much confidence.
Kagome purposefully fell behind so as to aviod having to talk with Koga the whole trip.
"Would he really be that bad of a husband?" she thought to herself. "No! What am I saying?" She cleared her thoughts of Koga, and decided to talk with InuYasha. When she lagged enought to get beside him, her turned to her with a frown.
"Can I help you?" he asked coldly.
"No, I'm fine thanks." she answered with a smile.
Suddenly, InuYasha looked worried.
"Um..Kagome? Your not actually going to have twelve cubs with Koga are you?" he asked with worry.
"First of all: Possibly. I'm only fifteen. Thats a long way off. Why should you care? Secondly: How dare you eavesdrop on me!" she yelled.
"Spare me! It's not like I tried to hear you! You were practically announcing it to the whole damn world!" he yelled at her.
Attempting to change the subject, she frowned and asked, "InuYasha? I'm still very tired. Can we stop for the night?" she asked with high hopes.
"Why don't you go ask your husband? It looks like he's leading us anyway." InuYasha mumbled.
"Fine! If your going to be that way, why don't you take a walk with Sesshomaru!" she yelled.
"Keep in mind, that puny wolf would never be able to rescue you as often as I do!" he yelled back at her.
"As often? What are you trying to say, InuYasha?" she yelled angrily.
"Get married for all I care. I won't come to your wedding. I don't give damn." he said gruffly.
"You don't do you?" she asked innocently.
"No." he said flatly.
At that, Kagome stormed to Koga, grabbed his head and roughly kissed him.
"Kagome..I...I didn't really 'mean' that? yelled InuYasha, horrified.
To Kagome's fury, Koga slipped his hands arounf her waist. She then broke the kiss and bit his nose.
"Ouch! What was that for?" he asked, surprised.
"For touching me like that." she replied, embarrassed.
InuYasha and the rest of the group thought it was best that they never pretendedthat they never saw the whole ordeal.
"It's night time, Koga. We should stop." said Miroku.
"Sure. We sould get to bed so we can get an early start tomarrow." he said wearily.
The group came to a quick stop and went into a wooded area where they all agreed to spend the night.
"I have an idea. Lets all partner up woth someone to keep warm under our 'one and only' blanket." suggested Miroku.
"Thats a good idea. It's perfectly logical." said Koga eagerly.
Within seconds, Koga and Miroku tried to dibs Sango and Kagome. Instead of slapping them, they decided to make them learn from their mistakes.
When all was through, the partners were: Koga and Shippo, Miroku and InuYasha, and Sango and Kagome. Sesshomaru leaned up against a tree with Rin in his lap resting against his chest and Jaken next to him. They all had a semi-comfortable sleep that night hoping that the next day would hold more friendliness and co-operation.
