Chapter 18: Misplaced Emotions.

Kayori's eyes widened as light spread over them… so did the boy's on top of her.

Shippo felt a little embarrassed to see this. If Inuyasha had been there no one would have been very happy.

Korou had come looking for Taimiko and perhaps a meal that night… Now Kayori lay there pinned to the ground and Korou was on top of her. Their lips were glued together by accident. Both of them were too shocked to move. "umm… Are we interrupting something?" Shippo asked causing Korou and Kayori to come back to their senses. They pushed each other away.

"What's going on?" Taimiko said rubbing tiredness from her eyes with her fist. Korou, still sitting on top of a still shocked Kayori, looked around wildly for his sister.

"It's not what you think!" Kayori yelled finally realizing what this must have looked like. By now everyone was staring at them wide eyed.

Neither Kayori nor Korou were very mobile at the moment. Taimiko sat there, closest to them, with wide eyes. "Are you two gonna get married now?" she asked unsure of what was going on. Kayori felt her cheeks grow very red and Korou felt his jaw drop.

"NO!" both of them yelled together. Kayori, who was still over come with shock and thoroughly embarrassed, kneed Korou in the groin. Causing him to moan and fall over… unfortunately he fell right over on top of Kayori again, accidentally elbowing Kayori right in the sensitive chest region.

It took several minutes for them to untangle. Korou was doubled over moaning and Kayori grasped her left breast biting, down hard on her lower lip.

"You… Little… Bitch!" Korou hissed between breathes.

"You got what you deserved!" Kayori snapped, "Kissing me while I was sleeping!"

"It was your fault! I didn't mean to fall on top of you. If you hadn't struggled so much than it never would have happened!" Korou began to get a little more color in his cheeks. "You had no right to do that!" he said referring to his little manly problem.

"Than what was taking you so long to get off me?" Kayori hissed.

"I wasn't expecting you to do that! I was a little shocked that YOU kissed ME!"

"Excuse me! YOU kissed ME! You were klutzy enough to fall on top of me! Besides you were the one on top! It was all your fault!" Kayori said pointing at him accusingly.

"Well you didn't have to kick me in the balls!" he hissed. Then he looked at her chest, which she was still holding. "What's wrong with you?"

"You elbowed me in the boob you dumb ass!" she yelled back!

"Well you deserved it for what you did to me!" Korou yelled angrily. Everyone else watched in shock as the two argued.

"How about whatever you got you deserved." Shippo said wisely.

Both Kayori and Korou made a sour face at him but they didn't press the issue. Everyone stared at them.

"Who are you?" Koji finally demanded.

Koji looked up from the food that Shippo had given him. "I was wondering the same for you, mutt!" he snapped.

"This is Inuyasha's son," Taimiko said happily, "Koji is Kayori's brother!"

Korou nearly choked on his food. Koji'd seen him lip to lip with his sister, that didn't bode well for Korou.

"That's right! Now who are you?" Koji asked again.

Taimiko jumped in happily again. "This is my brother Korou! We're Kouga's children!" she said happily.

"Who's Kouga?"

"The wolf prince," Shippo cut in. Korou sighed, so much for keeping a low profile.

It took another hour for Koji to stop staring at him. He didn't quite know why all the sudden Koji hated him, but he had a feeling it had to do with Kayori, whom Korou had tried to avoid. He was sure that she officially hated him, it was to bad she was pretty.

Kayori fell back into any uneasy sleep, this time a little closer to her brother and farther from everyone else.

A few hours later Koji shook her awake. Everyone stared at her as she ate. No one prodded her or bugged her. Korou opened her mouth to say something to her a few times but each time Koji gave him an evil glare and he remained quiet.

Shippo was the only one acting normal and this do much for Kayori's mood. He would pile more and more of his not-so-delicious food on her plate and prance around acting like nothing had happened the night before.

Kayori felt a pang of jealousy when Ryku tried to flirt with Somaru, he hadn't said a word to her since the last nights "incident". He hadn't done anything remotely perverted except with Somaru, who was more than happy to knock some senses intohim.

EventuallyKayori couldn't take much more of the tension. She pulled on her outer kimono and tied her hair back in its usual style (it didn't keep the hair out of her eyes but she said she a practical reason for it). And prepared to go sit by herself for awhile when Shippo suddenly asked, "What's the plan for today?"

"Continue forward!" Somaru said.

"Actually I had something thatI had to do!" Ryku said calmly, Kayori turned around curiously to listen to what Ryku had tosay. "I'm going to the Slayer's Village!"

Everyone was silent for several minutes. "Then we'll meet you in that village several miles east of the Slayer's Village?"

Ryku nodded.

"Three days then! If you're late we'll have leave you!" Shippo warned. Rkyu nodded again.

"ThanI best make haste then!"he said and turned to leave the camp. Everyone remain quiet for several minutes.

Kayori suddenly got the hugeurge to follow him. She snatched up her bag, "See you in three days!"

"What!" she heard Koji yell after her, but it was too late to stop her.

"Bye Bye!" Taimiko said quietly andeveryone sighed slightly annoyed.

Trouble: well that's all for now. i originally was going to make it so that it was ryku that accidentally kissed kayori. but i wanted to make it more complicated, you know how it was with kagome... how kouga loved her but she loved inuyasha, don't get me wrong! i like kouga and i made so that every thing went well for him after the show ended. you know what i'm rambling about right? well anyway the next chapter well be posted soon!
