Hi. Sorry I didn't update but I had to do my essay for school. Brain dead. Also I won't update for a while because we have science fair and an I-search project. If you want to know what the I-search is I.m us on aim. Where online all the time. So back to the story. Please don't flame for the not updating but you know we have school projects. If you do flame put your penname if you have one. I don't want no flame that is scary to tell the truth, and scary to yell at a 13 year old (yes I am only 13 years old and so is my friend who is sharing the penname. Check our bio if you don't believe me).On with the story.

Chapter 16

Everyone got up with there weapons. Then the youkais came out of the forest. Everyone drop there weapons and were shocked to see Kiyoushimaru with a neko youkai and a pet like kitsune. "Hello minna," Kiyoushimaru said. "Hello Kiyoushimaru-sama," Kagome said. "How are you guys?" Kiyoushimaru asked. "We're fine," Kurama said. "Um…Kiyoushimaru-sama who is that with you?" Kagome asked. "I'm Nakira. Nice to meet you um…..," Nakira said, but not knowing their names. "I'm kagome but I'm called Ayumi in my demon form." Kagome told her. "Hello nice to meet you I'm Botan," Botan said cheerful. "Hello I'm Sango and that is Kirara," Sango said and pointed to Kirara. "Hello I'm Kikyo," Kikyo said. ~And a dead clay pot~ Kagome added in her mind. "Yo I'm Urameshi Yusuke," Yusuke said in a bored tone. "I'm the great Kuwabara Kazuma," Kuwabara once again said like an idiot. "Hello I'm Touya and that guy over there is Jin," Touya said and pointed to Jin. "Hello," Jin said with a grin. "Feh. I'm Inuyasha," Inuyasha said. "Nice to meet you I'm Kurama and that person in black over there is Hiei," Kurama said. "Hn," was Hiei's welcome. "Why my fair lady I am Miroku Will you please bear me a child?" Miroku asked.

Before Nakira can answer Sango and Botan knock him out again. "Baka," both girls mumble. "Hi I'm Shippo," Shippo said tugging on Nakira pant (What are they called?). "It's nice to meet all of you," Nakira said and bowed. "Ayumi-san I have something for you. Nakira please hand her my pet," Kiyoushimaru ordered. "Hai," Nakira said. "Here is Tsukikage," Nakira handed Kagome a kitsune.

Tsukikage hand snow white fur. The tip of its tail was a dark red color. Tsukikage eyes were light red. "Cute," Kagome said and set the kitsune on her shoulder. Tsukikage nuzzle Kagome's cheek. "Well I think we all should get some sleep," Miroku said.

With that everyone went to sleep. Well almost everyone. Some had their eyes closed. Inuyasha and Ms. Clay pot were sleeping in a tree branch. Kuwabara and Yusuke were sleeping in their sleeping bags. Kurama was leaning on a tree with closed eyes and was across from Kagome.

Like Kurama, Kiyoushimaru also had his eyes closed and was near kagome. Hiei was in a tree looking at Sango and keeping an eye on the perverted houshi. Miroku hand was going near Sango's butt. Hiei was going to hit him but Sango beat him to it. "Houshi-sama watch your hand," Sango warned. "I was only checking if you were hurt,' Miroku said rubbing his hand. ~Oh Hiei had a crush on our friend Sango ~ Botan thought. ~Oh someone got a crush on Sango ~ Kagome thought. She had her eyes closed but she was listening on their conversation. ~I should get them together! ~both girls thought (Kagome and Botan). Kirara and Shippo both were sleeping in a blanket. Tsukikage was sleeping near Nakira who was sleeping leaning on a tree.

*In the morning*

Kagome got up and went to her bad. She got out food and chopsticks. She also got out a pot to boil water. Kiyoushimaru and Nakira both open their eyes to see who was making so much noise in the morning. ~What is she doing? ~both youkai thought. Kagome turned around and saw Kiyoushimaru and Nakira awake. "Good morning," Kagome said. She got up along with a bucket in hand. She also had a smaller backpack on. "I'm going to get some water. I'll be right back," Kagome said and turned to the river's way.

"Ayumi-san wait," Kiyoushimaru called out . "Yes?" Kagome stop and turned to face him. "A beautiful kitsune shouldn't go alone in the forest," Kiyoushimaru said and got up. "I'll go with you to get water," Kiyoushimaru offered. "Thank you," Kagome said. "Also please just call me kagome," Kagome told him. " Okay Kagome," Kiyoushimaru said. Tsukikage woke up to see Kagome leaving with Kiyoushimaru. So then the little kitsune went back to sleep.

*Kagome and Kiyoushimaru*

Both walked in silence and was thinking. ~Who do I like better? Omg (Oh my god)! Why did Sango even ask?~ Kagome wonder. ~Wonder what she is thinking? I should ask if she's okay~ Kiyoushimaru thought. "Kagome are you okay?" Kiyoushimaru asked. "Huh? Oh yes I'm okay just thinking that's all," Kagome said.

When they got to the river Kagome went to knee near the water. She took out a water bottle. Kiyoushimaru who never saw one looked at it weirdly. "Kagome may I ask what. What are you holding?" Kiyoushimaru asked. "Oh this?" Kagome asked holding up the water bottle. Kiyoushimaru nodded his head. "It's a water bottle. You can take it any where with you," Kagome told him.

Then Kagome went back to getting the water supplies. Kiyoushimaru went to sit by Kagome. Kiyoushimaru had his weapon by his side. It was quiet while Kagome was getting water. After a while Kagome was done getting water. "Kiyoushimaru-sama I'm done getting water," Kagome told him. "Then lets head back to camp," Kiyoushimaru said and got up with his weapon in hand. Kagome nodded her head.

*Back at camp*

Kurama open his eyes to see Kiyoushimaru and Kagome miss from the camp. 'Where could they go?' Kurama wondered. 'If that fox (Kiyoushimaru) does anything to her. He's going to die,' Youko said in Kurama's mind. 'She is not your mate,' Kurama stated the fact. 'She should be our,' Youko said. 'That is not our choice it is hers,' Kurama said. 'But you are attracted to her as I am,' Youko said. 'And what happen if I am?' Kurama asked. 'Then you like her,' Youko said. 'I do like her. So what are you going to do about it?' Kurama asked Youko. 'Nothing…oh look there coming back to camp now,' Youko said.

*Out of Kurama's mind*

"Good morning Kurama," Kagome said. Tsukikage went to Kagome. "Good morning Tsukikage," Kagome scratched the kitsune's ear. "What's with all the noise?" Yusuke asked getting up. "Good morning Yusuke," Kurama said. "Well I'll go make breakfast now," Kagome said. Then so went to get some food to make for the gang.
