Chapter 9: Nightly Adventures And A Brotherly Visit

Sango and Miroku looked around at the others and smiled at each other. "We can leave now. Even Inuyasha fell asleep" Sango mouthed knowing that Inuyasha would wake up if she whispered.

Miroku nodded and they snuck away to an empty clearing where they could be alone together for a while.

Inuyasha smiled knowing what they were off to do. He was getting better at fake sleeping, Sota had taught him well. He closed his eyes and went back to his fake sleeping so when Miroku and Sango came back they wouldn't know that he had been up. They had been going and doing that a lot lately. Inuyasha figured that they must have finally had their talk and had admitted they loved each other.

An hour later Miroku and Sango came back to the camp and Sango was busily fixing her shirt and Miroku was grinning happily. "When will we tell the others about what we have been doing?" He mouthed to her

"Soon" She mouthed back smiling. They both walked back over to where they were sleeping and laid back down. Miroku kissed Sango one more time and then they went back to sleep. Inuyasha smiled and decided to act surprised when they finally told them what was going on.

Shippo's ear flicked and he rolled over in his sleep.

The next day everyone sat around and shared secret smiles with one another. No one would share their secrets but everyone knew someone had something to say. They were in no rush though to tell.

"So…" Kagome started

"Yeah" Inuyasha said

"Mhmm" Miroku commented

"Ok this is going nowhere fast" Sango said suddenly and stood up.

Everyone looked at her "What should we do today anyways?" Kagome said

"I don't feel like doing anything" Miroku yawned and stretched

"Me neither" Shippo rolled over on his stomach and looked at everyone.

"I guess today is a lazy day then we wont go and look for jewels and everyone can go do their own thing if they want to. Just be back here at sundown." Kagome said

"Ok Kagome sounds good to us"

Shippo was starting to leave the camp when Sesshomaru showed up in front of him "Ahhh! What are you doing here? INUYASHA! SESSHOMARU IS HERE!" Shippo started screaming

Inuyasha was already beside him "You don't have to scream I'm right here. I sensed him coming a while ago Shippo calm down and go get the others."

"Ok Inuyasha I'll be right back" he took off running to find the others

"What do you want?" Inuyasha turned and faced Sesshomaru

"Put your sword down little brother. I just came here to talk."

Inuyasha warily put his sword away. "About what?"

"About Naraku"

"What about Naraku?"

"We found his castle"
"Oh so that mangy wolf was telling the truth." Inuyasha suddenly sighed, "I can't believe you teamed up with a lousy wolf"

"Better than a half demon"
"Shut up"

"Anyways we now know where Naraku is hidden. I just came to tell you"

"Why on earth would you want to help us?" Kagome called walking up with the others following her.

"Let's just say that I don't want to go there first"
"Oh so your chicken huh?" Inuyasha smirked

"Not at all little brother."

"Then what is it?" Inuyasha said suspiciously

"I don't want Rin to get hurt. Same with Jaken. They are both so weak that they would just get in the way if I went there. That's why I want you to go"

"What if I don't want to?"

"But I know you do"

"So what?"

"Fine I just thought you might want to know where Naraku is."

"I do want to know but not to go there and do your bidding."

Sesshomaru rolled his eyes impatiently "Fine don't go there I'm warning you. Naraku is mine and I will kill him."

"No. I am going to kill him first! Tell me where he is so I can go now and kill him"

'He is so easy to manipulate' Sesshomaru thought "His castle is over there" he said pointing past them "He is just in front of the mountains that are about five villages between us."

"Let's go guys" Inuyasha called to the group behind him

Kagome sighed knowing that Sesshomaru had just tricked Inuyasha.

"I'll be leaving then" Sesshomaru said and started walking away "Stupid brother of mine, I can't believe that the reverse psychology trick actually worked" he muttered to himself as he left.

"Ok I hope you guys realize that we are not going to Naraku just yet right? Because I want to work on my dodging skills and you all need to toughen up a little bit more" Inuyasha said as every walked back to camp.

"Oh ok then why did you tell Sesshomaru that we were leaving right now?"

"Because I was getting sick of him so I let him think he tricked me with his reverse psychology trick and that way he would leave us alone"

"Oh very smart Inuyasha I'm impressed." Miroku said

"And just what is that supposed to mean?" Inuyasha growled

"Oh nothing" Miroku raised his hands in an innocent way

Inuyasha glared at him

"Fine I don't really care Miroku. Kagome do we have any ramen to eat? I'm hungry again."

Kagome sweat dropped "But you just ate not to long ago Inuyasha how can you be hungry?"

"I just am ok? Is that a problem?" he raised his hands ready to tickle her

"No but look at the time Inuyasha it's getting late."

"Just one Kagome?" he pleaded

"Fine but only one then its bed time"

"Thanks Kagome!" He grabbed her backpack and grabbed the pack of ramen he knew he had hid in the front compartment.

Twenty minutes later everyone was laying down sleeping peacefully. Inuyasha was watching for demons and Kagome and the others were on the ground under their blankets sleeping.

Inuyasha looked down and smiled at his sleeping friends. He continued to stare at Kagome and thought to himself how pretty she looked when she was sleeping and not yelling at him.

He sighed and not sensing any demons, decided to try and sleep.
