Chapter 16

Once again our favourite group was trudging along the dirt path. Kagome was tired and so was Sango. But they weren't complaining. Inuyasha was in a bad mood today, not a very good thing. Miroku however was just fine, he was still happily sipping on the Sprite that Kagome handed to him earlier. While everyone finished theirs within 30 minutes, Miroku was still happily drinking his 2 hours later. He had never tasted anything of the sort and so, he was now taking tiny little sips. Hoping to conserve the fizzy drink.

SSLLLLLUUUURRRRPPPP

"Oh for the love of – Miroku! Will You Please Finish That NOW!"

Everyone was glaring at him now and Inuyasha was just holding back. If he wanted to drink slowly, that was his problem but drinking slowly and loudly…that was a whole different thing. Inuyasha drew back an arm and closed his hand into a fist. Just as he was about to let him have it, Sango beat him to it.

"MINE!"

Sango couldn't take it anymore, she snatched the can from the monk's hand and drained it in 5 seconds flat.

"Much better!"

"But…But Sango!"

Sango smirked, "You took way too long Miroku!"

Miroku pouted, there was a reason why he was drinking it so slowly. Well actually he just wanted to savour the taste. Sango sighed as she held the empty can in her hands. That was refreshing…although she had to put her mouth where Miroku's once was. When she thought it was the perfect moment, Sango walked up beside Miroku and slipped the can into his hands and put on a cute smile. Hold on to it? Sango didn't litter, it just wasn't her.

Nodding dumbly, Miroku stuck the empty pop can inside his robes somewhere. Little did anyone know he was going to keep this one can and not sell it off like he will with the others. The group arrived shortly to the next village, Miroku doing his routine act and not only trading in the worthless cans for rooms to stay in but also a wonderful home cooked dinner.

Sango and Kagome were talking while Inuyasha was sulking in the corner again. No one knew what brought on his bad mood, they only knew to stay away from him. The last time he was in a bad mood, It was right after a battle. You could say it was a tie, Kagura had flown off. Miroku only innocently asked if he was alright, Inuyasha was all bloody and tired. As it turned that the hanyou was actually not as tired as everyone originally thought. He got up and pounded the monk on the head, sending him falling to the ground with a rather large bump on his head. Kagome immediately attended to that.

Even now when Miroku scatches his head there is still a slight dent in his skull. There was no doubt that it had to have hurt but Miroku was a man afterall. He wouldn't cry. Or maybe it was because he was unconscious, either way no tears were shed.

Miroku was walking aimlessly around the house doing his exorcism. Inuyasha's ears twitched everytime he heard a footstep.

"Gods that monk walks loud. Or maybe…He just trying to get on my nerves."

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs

Kagura was still in the air 2 hours later, she just couldn't find him anywhere. It was as if he disapeared off the face of the planet. If that was possible that is. It didn't matter though, she was determined to find him. He can't hide. She looked over at the boy beside her sleeping peacefully. She sighed and smiled, just a bit.

"No worries, just relaxing. How I miss that so much."

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Sesshoumaru was a little shocked at the news he received during his encounter with Kagura. Naraku… He was dead. Kagura…She's supposed to be somewhere hiding. If she was then why would she even have the guts to seek the help of him? He had been trying to capture and kill her and she walks right up to him and asks for help. But that's not the matter right then. It was the fact that Naraku may not be dead and is still out there somewhere. Meaning…the will…it would of been fake. Slowly but unclearly everything was coming together in Sesshoumaru's brain.

He thought about it the whole way back. If Naraku was still out there somewhere, he will be killed. If not by natural means then Sesshoumaru would make sure that he will send someone out there to kill him. Trickery was one of the many things that Sesshoumaru couldn't tolerate.

"And if no one manages to kill him…I'll make sure that I will."

He walked through the gates and pushed through the doors, he needed a rest. All this was giving him a head-ache. When he finally got to his room, Sesshoumaru laid down on his bed and looked onto the table beside him, it was where the servants would normally leave him any messages that he got if he was away. Nothing was there…except a pen. And that's when it hit him, the girls didn't need to do the mission. It could be all called off and may ultimately save their lives should anything happen.

Sesshoumaru got to his feet again, he didn't want to lose the two best agents he had. And he also didn't want them killing for nothing. Sighing and walking outside again, he started his seach on the girls. It shouldn't take too long.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Naraku was laughing again. Nothing new. Kanna was right behind him. Although she was supposed to be 'Nothing' Kanna could swear she felt the slightest of a head-ache coming on. The laughter was getting too much for her.

MuaHaHAha

Kanna was going to go insane soon if she didn't do something.

Naraku was laughing, not because he did something insanley evil…well hat too but also because his plan was slowly coming together. No one would suspect a thing and not only would he get the Shikon Jewel but also have his enemies killed. But the only drawback was how long they seemed to be taking to kill the two. It was as if…no. Naraku didn't want to belive it. The girls…were in love?

Naraku didn't want to believe that, it just wasn't possible. Girls that were born to carry out assasinations did not fall in love. At least not with the ones they were supopsed to kill. The hanyou shook his head, he needed to think of a new nightmare for them. They need to hurry up. This was taking longer than Naraku had planned it to. He couldn't stay inside and hidden forever…actually he could but he needed to get out soon.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Miroku finally settled down and Inuyasha could relax again, not before shouting at the monk that was.

"Did you have to walk around so loudly?"

"What do you mean?" Miroku flashed his innocent smile.

"You know what I mean … monk." Inuyasha bared his fangs. He wasn't in the mood right now. Miroku just frowned and walked off. He still had no idea what the hanyou was talking about.

Kagome and Sango just watched from the other end of the room. Good thing they didn't have to share a room with Him. That would be a nightmare. Kagome dug through her bag, she was trying to find something that would put the half-demon into a better mood. She was still digging through the pack when Sango left to go find Miroku. She was pretty bored.

Kagome was trying to drown out all the voices around her. She need to concentrate in finding something.

"I swear I put in an extra soda or chocolate bar…or something!"

Kagome sighed with relief as she pulled out her last chocolate bar. Crunchie. It was her faavourite and she was debating it in her brain whether she should give it up or not. Maybe she should just give him half. Inuyasha looked over, all the rustling had sudenly stopped.

Inuyasha watched her with interest, that is until she pulled out a shiny bar of.. something. Then he smelled it. It was one of those sweets she had in her time. The unmistakable smell of…chocolate! Inuyasha immediately walked over to her and sat down beside the school-girl. Kagome rolled her eyes. She should of expected this. Sighing she broke half of the bar and dumped the half into Inuyasha's waiting hands. He finished it in one big bite.

Looking at Kagome's half of the bar. Kagome felt watched and so on turning to face Inuyasha, she was right. He was pouting at her again. That was probably her only weakness. An attraction to cute. Kagome laughed and rubbed Inuyasha's ears. She just couldn't help herself. And then…she put her half into his hands. He smiled and ate it mre slowly this time. It was like he had it all planned out.

Kagome stood up and started to walk out. She didn't need to be in the room anymore and by the looks on the hanyou's face he looked a lot better than he did 10 minutes ago. Kagome slipped out of the room unnoticed. Inuyasha was still conentrating on the piece of chocolate. Walking over to her room and Sango's she decided to go take a bath. It had been a very exhausting day.

As soon as she got into the water, Sango, who was already in started to talk to her. They talked about what had happened so far, and how are they going to complete this 'mission'. Kagome also some-what relieved some stress by announcing that Inuyasha was in better moods.

"So…Sango…do you have any of your 'great ideas' again?"

Sango frowned ,"Actually…no."

"What! What do you mean no!"

"Why don't you ever have any great ideas huh? Why do I always have to come up with them?"

"'Cause you're…smarter?"

"Ehhh…whatever."

It was silent after that. Kagome was counting on Sango to think up a plan. It was better late than never. But still, why did they have to kill them? What a stupid..stupid..

Sango lifted her head up. She heard rustling in the bushes. She started to swim as fast as she could to her clothes. She also kept a pile of rocks there just in case. She could never take safe baths anymore because of a certain monk…

"Miroku…" she started, "I'm not going to hold back this time…"

Sango took aim and launched the rocks, it was obvious that he had come back for another peak. Which wasn't going to happen. At least with him unconscience, she could be sure he wasn't spying in. Kagome swam away from the bushes and was well aware of the crack and the sound of…a grunt? Miroku should've been out cold.

"OwwWWw. That was unnec-"

Although they both knew that the voice didn't belong to Miroku, or Inuyasha for that matter, it was still male and that was all that mattered at the time. Kagome threw another rock towards the man and waited. Shouldn't he be out by now? The girls' smirked evilly when they heard a thump, meaning the person was officially unconscience. Covering up as much of their bodies as they could with the towelettes, they scrambled onto shore and pushed aside the leaves to look at the pervert.

"No way…"

"Hmm? What is it Sango?"

Kagome was standing behind the shocked Sango, she couldn't see past her friend and Kagome was getting curious now. Who was it? …it wasn't Inuyasha or Miroku..right?

"Maybe I shouldn't of thrown the rock so hard…"

Sango blinked again and backed up, letting Kagome move up so she could see the guy. Kagome wandered up and peered through the branches. Face down in the dirt she saw the person she knocked out…

"Oh…no….."
