Chapter Two: Evening

They started walking back soon after the incident had taken place. It was about mid day and stomachs all around were aching for something to fill their vastness. They walked slowly, Shippo walking beside Kagome, her giant book bag resting on her shoulders. Miroku walked next to Sango, but he could not stop glancing over at Kagome the whole trudge up to the campsite. Kagome had noticed him looking at her, and it got her curious of what the perverted monk was thinking about…

Shippo had kept her entertained and distracted of Miroku's awkward glances by singing a small song that he made up when she was gone.

"Daisy's bobbing, fists are lobbing, when Kagome's away.

Mutts are barking, Monks are groping, when Kagome's away.

All can hear the resounding smack, whack!

When Kagome's away."

He would repeat it over and over but he would continually add another "whack" each time he sang it. When he started loosing track of how many "whacks" he was on it made her smile and she shook her head.

They had finally reached their destination and Kagome was happy to loose the weight of the giant yellow book bag off her shoulders. She let it fall with a thud next to the small pit that was made for her to cook in and she kneeled in front of it, rubbing her shoulders in small circles. Once she felt that the tension had lessened enough for her to work with ease she had begun to dig through the bags bottomless depths for something to cook for lunch for the five of them. Five of course just in case her mysterious hanyo would show up last minute for a bite to eat. 'There's always a chance,' she thought warily.

She had sent Miroku and Shippo out on a simple task of retrieving wood for the fire and they happily obliged to her request. She looked to Sango when they left and she stood up and gave her a hug.

"How had you been fairing while I was gone?" Kagome asked after the hug ceased.

"Well I survived; else I wouldn't be standing in front of you now would I?" They both laughed. Over the many years they had formed a sort of strong sisterly bond for they both subconsciously had men trouble, one more so then the other. One had a perverted Monk that won't pay attention to signs of feelings, and the other has a little boy she has to nurture and a certain someone that's very temperamental almost about everything.

She dug out five packages of chicken ramen and her pot that she cooked it in to prepare the meal as the conversation slowly continued. The boys had returned soon after their chat had ended, both with an arm full of wood to use for the fire. They started setting it up without even being asked to, which Kagome thought of an improvement and a plus.

She had just finished handing out the bowls to everyone sitting around with anxious eyes and they began to eat. Inuyasha hadn't shown after all so they split his portion up between the four of them. The bowls were filled and a blessing was said by Miroku before they began eating.

Soon after all the bowls had been emptied, Shippo had laid down for a nap, for he had eaten a bit more then he could handle. That was when a most interesting conversation started up by the corrupt mouth of the monk who decided to open it.

"So Kagome, what was Inu-yasha doing when we happed upon you two?" A perverted little grin lay upon his face as he waited for her response.

"What's it to you, Monk?" She said with a necessary tone of annoyance resonating through the whole sentence.

"Oh nothing, I just couldn't help but notice of how odd of a situation the two of you were in? Please tell me, was it your or his Idea to hide the secret affections in a tickle fight? I mean both of you rolling about, his hands all over you, you breathlessly trying to restrain his traveling hands… Sounds like I have been rubbing off on him if you ask me." With that said a loud resounding slap could be heard echoing throughout the entire clearing. Who was the culprit you ask? None other then a red faced Sango who had been sitting next to him the whole time! She was not a happy camper…

While a small bout broke out between the monk and the demon slayer Kagome blushed a deep shade of red as what had just been said finished filtering through. 'Did we really look that… provocative?' She shook the Idea from her mind… but images that she had been trying to suppress about her and the hanyo had begun to flow and she couldn't help the blush that stayed upon her cheeks.

The small fight that had been going on this whole time in the background had ended up with Miroku begging at the feet of Sango for forgiveness of his "mistake". Kagome looked around her and noticed that it was going to be dark soon and she wondered where Inu-yasha was. He hadn't had anything to eat and it worried her that he didn't show up at the first scents of ramen being cooked.

When Kagome stood, Sango had averted her attention from the monk who was attached to her leg and looked over to her with a questioning look.

"Where are you going Kagome?" Sango seemed confused because Kagome had a worried look upon her face.

"Inu-yasha hasn't returned. I want to go find him before night falls." She had turned her gaze out into the forest, eyes searching around for any movement or any sign that Inu-yasha might have been in the vicinity of the campsite already but saw none.

"Why so eager to find him Kagome? Do you plan to finish what you had started earlier?"

In a split second Kagome was standing above the monk eyes burning like the flames that had cooked the meal that he so generously just ate. She stared him down to where he cowered behind Sango. Kagome left in a huff off to begin searching for Inu-yasha into the darkening forest.

And that is the end for Chapter Two. Once again I am so sorry that I didn't update in sixth months... Please forgive me… Next chapter planned to come soon!
