Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha, so sue me. -looks at lawyers apprehensively- I didn't mean it literally!

InuYasha was silent for a few seconds, looking at her and then at the ground, "Alright, I promise." He said softly, looking back at Kagome and giving her a quick hug. "Just get to sleep," He added.

Kagome nodded, resting her head back on InuYasha's shoulder.

Miroku yawned; he opened his eyes and then rubbed the sleep out of them before looking around. He was the first one up so far, but he knew the others would wake up soon.

Sango moved in her sleep, she had fallen asleep next to Miroku and she fell over onto him, her head resting on his shoulder.

Miroku smiled, putting an arm around Sango and giving her a small hug; he knew he'd probably pay for this later but for now he didn't care, he just liked having Sango in his arms.

Sango blinked and yawned, waking up; the first thing she saw were the dark blue eyes of the lecherous monk, Miroku. She blushed a light pink as she looked at him, but instincts soon kicked in and she pushed him away rather then her usual slap across the face. "You letch!" She said, forgetting that Kagome and InuYasha were still asleep.

Kagome groaned and rubbed her eyes to see clearly as she looked over at them. "Miroku being a letch again?" She asked Sango, who nodded in return.

Miroku sighed, although was slightly shocked she hadn't slapped him across the face. "You were the one that fell over and onto me; I was just trying to comfort you." He said with a small grin.

"Yeah, whatever." Sango muttered, turning away from him and standing up, mostly to hide that her face was a light pink color.

Kagome yawned, she glanced at InuYasha who was still sleeping, the miko wondered how he couldn't have wakened up do to all the commotion, especially with his sensitive ears.

The miko smiled, looking at InuYasha's ears that just twitched. She smiled and reached over rubbing the silky fur on his ears. She bit her lip, feeling InuYasha start to wake up, now she felt bad that she had woken him up.

Sango smiled "I'll go get some water so we can get some breakfast; it's been a while since we've been able to relax like this." She said, heading out of the hut and outside.

Miroku smiled and headed after the demon slayer "And I shall assist." He said, although it was obvious that he was going just to be with Sango.

Kagome smiled "Alright." She said, watching the both of them leave; it wasn't too long until she heard the all-too familiar slapping noise and Sango yelling at Miroku to keep his hands to himself. She sighed and continued to rub InuYasha's ears, grinning to herself.

InuYasha twitched slightly, but didn't seem to wake up all the way. He let out a short laugh, and waved a hand to get Kagome's hand off his ears.

"Did he just… laugh?" Kagome thought, looking at him and grinning evilly. She started to pet his ears again, making the hanyou laugh once more.

"Hey! S-stop it!" InuYasha said, still laughing and trying to get Kagome off his ears.

"You're ticklish?" Kagome asked, laughing and grinning as she ticked him even more.

The hanyou fell over, laughing, and Kagome falling over him, still managing to tickle him.

"I said s-stop it a-already!" InuYasha choked.

"Nope! I hardly ever get to see you laugh."

"Couldn't y-you wake me up a d-different way?"

"This way is MUCH more fun." Kagome giggled, sitting on top of the laughing hanyou so he couldn't try and get away.

"No fair!"

"Who said this was fair?"

InuYasha was still laughing; his stomach was starting to hurt, so he did the only thing he knew to make Kagome stop. He grinned and turned over, making her fall off him, he put his arm over her and his mouth on hers.

Kagome's eyes grew wide as he kissed her, but he broke away after a few seconds. She blinked, but realized that he had made her stop tickling him. "No fair!" She argued.

"Who said this was fair?" InuYasha countered, he stood up and reached out a hand to help Kagome stand as well.

"Well at least I know how to make you laugh now, you should laugh more often…"

"Feh,"

"Well would you rather go back to how things were? With me telling you to sit every three seconds?

THUD! "Damn it, what the hell was that for!"

"Oops, sorry! I didn't mean to say it that time."

"Feh, wench,"

"Sit boy! I told you to stop calling me that!"

THUD! "Damn it… stupid rosary."

"You deserved it, my name is Kagome and you better call me that." Kagome said, kneeling down next to him. She looked around "Hey, where's Kitaro?" She asked.

InuYasha sat up once the spell had worn off "I dunno, maybe she went to go catch up with Sango and Miroku?" He suggested.

"Hmm… I suppose…" Kagome muttered, folding her arms.

"Feh, I don't like that girl anyways, there is something really weird about her." InuYasha muttered

"She's just a little girl, InuYasha, what's there to be so suspicious about?"

"Like the fact that ever since she came along we've both been having horrible nightmares. And both of those times she slept through the whole time, no matter how much noise was made. And there was the time that when you passed out, Kitaro fell over as well but didn't even flinch out of sleep."

"Your right but-"

"I don't trust that kid, Kagome. And you have to admit strange things have been going on…"

"Yeah, we'll just have to be careful, ok? Don't go making accusations."

"Feh, whatever."

Kagome and InuYasha didn't notice that they were both being watched. Kitaro had been watching them both from the other room, looking in from the door but making sure not to be seen.

She was different now then what she had looked like. Her eyes were red, and she had fangs for teeth. She glared at the two with such fury that a child like she had been couldn't do.

"So they've caught onto me?" She thought, glaring at the hanyou and miko, her eyes narrowing. "Fine, then I'll have to destroy them now."

Kitaro pulled out a small clip that was in her hair, with a slight glow it transformed into a small bottle full of poison dust. Just a pinch of it would be enough to cover the room in powder that would soon send them unconscious and into their deaths.

With an evil grin the girl opened the bottle and put a small amount on her hand, her lips blowing softly on the dust, making it fly everywhere into the other room.
