Inuyasha: Boo!

Kagome's wish: SHUT UP!!!!!!!

Erin: YA, BEFORE I PUT A VOODOO CURSE ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Night had fallen over the campsite, and to Kagomes shock, her ankle already felt much better. Not much had happened since the gumi decided to stop. Miroku had expertly bound and splinted her ankle with two sticks and a gauze bandage from her first aid kit. All though, Miroku had suffered a few injuries of his own from Inuyasha when his left hand had done a little..... 'wandering' to Kagomes backside.

"Hey, Kagome!" Sango called, stirring the younger girl from her drifting thoughts.

"What is it Sango?", she asked.

"I found a hot spring! Wanna go take a bath with me?"

"Lady Sango," Miroku but in, using the most HORENDOUS sweet little voice, "I would be pleased to accompany you if Lady Kagome wishes not to."

/WHACK!!!!!!!!/

"Hentai...." Sango mumbled as the two girls walked to the hot spring, Kagome using a crutch Shippo had found her, leaving the bludgeoned Miroku there to decay.

"Hey, Kagome." Sango spoke, about half an hour after they had arrived at the hot spring, "Have you realised Inuyasha acting a little... well... strangely lately?"

Kagome thought... He had, hadn't he? Especially around me... or am I just imagining that? Kagome wondered, It's not like when he sees Kikyo, then, he never looks me in the eye. But..... what about that time a few days ago? Kagome was remembering the time her and Inuyasha went to fetch some medicinal herbs for a wound Kirara had received. Inuyasha hadn't been talking much and when she asked him if anything was wrong he began to stutter and look very nervous. It ended with him dashing away without explanation.

"Kagome?" Sango questioned, snapping the dazed girl from her thoughts.

"Huh?... Ano... Oh! Inuyasha, right. No, I haven't noticed anything." she lied, though she did not know why.

"Oh, well. I better head back, you okay here by your self?"

"Ya, sure." Kagome replied, "I have some things to think about anyways."

Miroku stared listlessly into the camp fire, Inuyasha right across from him, starring at him with deep intent. Ever since Inuyasha had found out Kagome and Sango were leaving to bathe, he had been watching Miroku like a hawk. It had begun to get on Miroku's nerves, but he was thinking up a twisted little plot to get Inuyasha to leave him alone.

"So, Inuyasha..." Miroku spoke, begging the first stage of his plan. "You've been acting... oddly around Kagome lately. Why?"

"Feh." was all he got in responses. That, and Inuyasha turning away from him, as not to meet his eyes. Miroku's plan was working.

"Tsk, tsk, Inuyasha. Some one might think you were hiding something." Inuyasha didn't respond.

"Now, don't be shy, tell me. No use keeping secrets all to your self, now!"

"NO WAY IN HELL!!! IT'S A SECRET BECAUSE I'M KEEPING IT TO MYSELF! THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED A SECRET, NOT A PUBLICLY KNOWN FACT!!" Inuyasha retaliated hotly, making the monk smile.

"Aha! So you ADMIT to be keeping a secret from me!"

"D-N-NO!!!!"

"Maybe not directly, but you did none the less! Now spill!"

Crap, crap, crap, crap, CRAP! Inuyasha thought, WHY do I always get myself into these situations! "I-It's none of your business, you lecher!" Inuyasha replied, his face turning red.

Miroku just leaned over and looked at Inuyasha's red face.

"You're planning something, aren't you? And I'd bet my life it has something to do with Kagome... and affections. Why for any other reason would you put Kikyo to rest?"

Inuyasha was looking about as red as a tomato. He knew Miroku was just inches away from finding out his idea to propose, and he didn't like the possibility of him knowing. He might black-mail him with it... or worse... tell Kagome.

"Well...?" Miroku questioned, an impish grin on his face.

Inuyasha couldn't stand the pressure any longer! With out a word, Inuyasha blindly sprinted into the woods.

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!!!!!! Miroku inwardly chanted, Now that I've gotten rid of Inuyasha, I can go..... keep an eye on the girls... more likely two eyes at that... AH, DAMMIT! Sango's here!!!! Indeed, the demon slayer had just walked into the clearing, eying the monk suspiciously.

"Where's Inuyasha?" she inquired, hands on her hips.

"Oh.... eheh... Inuyasha.... he ran off into the woods when I got some information out of him."

"REALLY!?!?! SPILL!!!!!"

Yes, girls love to gossip.

As Inuyasha ran on, only one thought had been racing through his mind for the past five minutes: Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Who knew Inuyasha could focus on one word for that long?)

Ah, man! There is no doubt in my MIND that Miroku will tell Sango, and she's no dummy!!! I wonder if they'll actually figure it o-HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!! Inuyasha was pulled from his thoughts as he hid behind a tree, his face a new shade of crimson. Damn, damn, damn, DAMN!!!!! I should have watched where I was GOING!!!!! CRAP!!!! Of all places I had to run HERE!!!!!!

Inuyasha was right to curse.... for he had randomly run strait to the hot spring.
