Anyways, hope you enjoy the next chapter, read and review please!
Chapter 11: PonderingSomewhere in the Forest…
Kurama had said something about Hiei probably training in the forest. She grumbled quietly to herself. Why did he have to go so deep inside? Although it wasn't hard to track him down, all you really had to do was follow the trail of youkai blood splattered carelessly among the plants.
"Ningen, do you really have to make so many noises?"
Sango jerked up immediately on guard, her Hiraikotsu gripped between her hands.
He voice snorted, "Do you really think that worthless thing can hurt me?" Hiei jumped down from a tree a couple meters ahead.
She fumed. This was made especially made by her father! "It's not worthless," she stated between clenched teeth, "And it's made especially for killing demons" she smirked, patting the smooth bone surface.
Hiei didn't even flinch as he drew his sword and attacked her, as if testing her of her strength.
Sango didn't seem startled at all as she blocked the katana with her boomerang and threw it. Drawing her sword, she parried another blow to her chest.
Hiei merely grunted at the force and dodged the boomerang. Sango grabbed her Hiraikotsu as it flung itself back and slashed at Hiei with her katana in her other hand.
Sango jumped back as Hiei swung at her. In mid-swing, Sango ducked under and slammed her elbow on his back, sending him stumbling forward a bit. Recovering quickly, Hiei launched onto Sango, sword at heart, she was pinned against a tree.
"I win" he smirked.
She only smirked back, making him falter a bit, "Oh really?" he felt a blade tip on his chest, near his heart. Looking down, a dagger was pinned between her and him.
"Hn" he jumped back, "A good spar" Hiei nodded in approval, "We should get to dinner"
Sango nodded at him.
'A tie! It was a tie!' he thought irritably.
At the Dinner Site…
"Kurama, do you know where Sango and Hiei are?" Kagome asked questionably.
"No, I don't. Supposedly, Sango went out to find Hiei"
"Oh dear…" Kagome thought idly.
"Ah, don't worry, they'll be fine" Yusuke smirked.
"Is Lady Kaede going to be accompanying us?" Kurama wondered.
"No, she had already eaten" Miroku supplied.
After he said that, 2 sweating figures walked into the area. Some of the group quirked an eyebrow at this.
"Sparring" was the only answer they received from Hiei. It answered enough.
Shrugging, Yusuke offered them food, then hungrily gobbled up his own, getting a second serving. The Inu-group looked in on bewilderment as the Yu Yu group just ignored it, as if it happened quite often.
Sango and Kagome looked at the half-eaten food in surprise. It was sorta…sad…
Kagome cleared her throat; "So that's why you suggested to make so much food…" she trailed off, looking at Keiko, Botan, and Yukina with wide eyes.
Sango only nodded her head in agreement, speechless.
"Well, we might as well eat" Kurama commented, smiling at Kagome, who blushed.
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes. He didn't like the pretty-boy. Nope. He didn't like him one bit. Hitting on Kagome like that…
Miroku seemed to catch what Inuyasha was thinking and raised an eyebrow. He only smiled at her for Kami's sake! He jabbed the hanyou in the ribs, receiving a grunt. Glaring, Inuyasha finished his food and jumped into a tree, sulking.
"What's with him?" Kuwabara asked between spoonfuls of stew.
"Dunno" Yusuke mumbled, effectively spitting some food out.
"Yusuke!" Keiko waited until he swallowed and slapped him, "Watch your manners!"
He just grumbled at got back to eating.
Hiei had claimed he didn't need any food, so he sat in another tree, hidden behind the branches and leaves.
Kurama hastily snatched a bowl from the table before anyone else got their hands on it, an irritable look on his face as the fox attempted to shift away from Kuwabara without seeming impolite.
Sango scowled, snatching away the last bowl of food that Yusuke was reaching for. Something had sure made them really hungry to eat like this.
Afterwards, they returned to the hut for some peaceful slumber. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be peaceful for long…
The Next Day…
Sango stirred first. Hiei was never really asleep in the first place…
"HENTAI!"
SLAP
"Now you're touching my backside in your sleep too!" She shrieked, waking half the people up.
"Why Sango dear, I didn't no anything!" he pleaded innocent, nursing the red handprint on his cheek that felt like it was on fire.
Hiei growled at this act the monk put up, but it went unnoticed.
Kagome groaned, "Is there a fire or something…?" Keiko, Yukina and Botan rose their heads.
Sango smiled sweetly at her, "No, sorry for waking you up"
"It's alright"
"Is everyone ok?" Kurama asked, stifling a yawn.
"Yeah" Sango and Kagome replied. Kagome also yawn and then stretched, leaning on Kurama's shoulder afterwards.
"Could you wake up Kuwabara please?" Kagome asked Sango.
"Sure..."
She walked over and nudged his head lightly. There was no response. She now softly kicked his head lightly.
Kuwabara mumbled, "Kitties..." and rolled over, going back into his coma-like state.
Sango's aura flared and she kicked him in the groin.
"AH, MONSTER!" He jolted up screaming, only to see several questioning faces, "Hello" he said, as if nothing had happened.
Some just shook their head and turned their gazes.
"Wench! It's time to go!" Inuyasha roared.
"Go where? We're not collecting jewel shards or anything!" She mumbled.
Miroku suddenly came up with an idea, "Why don't we go to that nearby waterfall I found a couple weeks ago? The water is mildly warm and it seems safe enough to swim in" he suggested eagerly. The pervert just wanted to see everyone in these 'swimwear' Kagome had told him about. Of course, nobody became suspicious about his motives because it seemed like a great idea.
"Brilliant!" Kagome beamed, "I even brought some swimwear already for all of us!"
"That certainly seems like a good idea" Kurama smiled.
"I haven't played in the water for a very long time, Kagome" Sango added in, hopeful that they would get to have some fun.
"Me too!" Botan and Keiko exclaimed. Yukina smiled shyly and nodded.
Hiei clearly did not like the fact of mentioning water, never less even SWIMMING in water. The look on his face told it all and Yusuke and Kuwabara were sleeping like logs…
"What do you think, cousin?" Kagome question.
Snore.
"Cousin?" She glanced over at his sleeping form and growled. Standing up, Kagome stomped over and kicked him awake.
"Mmm…Mhh…Mhhh?" He turned over and looked up at her sleepily. Kagome snatched a cup and poured the cold water all over his head.
"COLD! CRAP! KAGOME…!" He roared and tried to pounce on her. Shrieking, Kagome narrowly dodged turning around to run, but tripped instead and landed on Kurama…
Everyone went silent. Yusuke paled and stood there in shock, his mouth opening and closing like a fish.
Kagome lay on top of Kurama in a lip lock…
"Ka-Kagome…?" Inuyasha stuttered and blinked, 'Hey, wait a minute…' he thought, narrowing his eyes a bit.
"GET OFF HIM KAGOME!" The hanyou roared in hysterics stumbling forward, only to be met with a slap from Keiko and Sango…
"Idiot!" Sango hissed, "Let them have their moment!"
After coming to the realization that she. Was on top of Kurama. In a kiss. Kagome scrambled off him reluctantly, blushing like crazy. She then quickly ran off.
"Kagome-!" Inuyasha came forward again, only to be blocked by Yukina, "I think she needs some time alone…"
Kurama got up and brushed himself off quietly and walked off in the opposite direction, Yukina stopping Yusuke.
Somewhere Off in The Forest…
Kagome idly sat down on a clean rock and propped her head in her hands. She could still feel the tingling sensation on her lips.
Kagome sighed. The miko couldn't help but think how sweet her lips tasted. It was addicting…
She sighed again and looked up at the sun. 'Better get back to the village before everyone gets worried. I want to take that swim anyways…'
Somewhere Else in The Forest…
Kurama stopped at a clearing and sat down on the grass, staring at a flower growing in the distance near the underbrush.
What was Kagome thinking now? Was she upset, angry?
He really never wanted for her to pull away. Kurama felt at a loss when he lost the heat on his lips…
'Maybe we could go swimming now. I don't want Hiei to come looking for me with the others'
Kurama sighed and stood back up, walking towards the village.
What do you think so far? Sorry it's a bit short. Anyways, read and review onegai!
