An evil smirk was set on Kikyo's face as she watched the female dog demon through Kanna's mirror. She had just witnessed Kagome adopt the small fox child.

'This is perfect, I can use that runt to lure her and Inu-Yasha here to finally get rid of Kagome once and for all!' Kikyo had been in the woods the day when Inu-Yasha kissed Kagome, she became furious, she immediately went to find Naraku. They had come up with a plan to give Kagome to stay away from Inu-Yasha. (Kagome's attack in her dream and Sango and Miroku in reality.) That didn't do much though, the two hanyou's ended up in Kagome's time, and by the size of the bulging bag with ramen packets spilling out the sides when they came back looked like they had a good time.

'I will make that girl suffer for taking Inu-Yasha from me! She will die! I will make sure Inu-Yasha personally gets to kill her with his bare hands. I want to the pain in his eyes when he's doing it. And it will be all his fault!' She stood up and walked out of the room to find Naraku. 'I will enjoy this.'

Kagome sighed as she walked; Inu-Yasha was still against her for adopting Shippo and she was bored of it. She decided to look at the heart Shippo gave her. She flipped the box open and stared at it, it was so beautiful and she ran her finger across the engraved letters that read 'Mommy'.

"What's that?" Kagome jumped in surprise at the voice, she looked to her right to see Inu-Yasha leering over her shoulder to look at the object she was holding. Kagome was about to tell InuYasha that is none of his business but Shippo cut in.

"I gave it to her." Shippo jumped up onto Inu-Yasha's shoulder. Inu-Yasha didn't want to talk to Shippo right now and he punched him upside the head. Kagome saw a purple glow coming from the corner of her eye and when she looked down at her hand, the heart was glowing purple! Inu-Yasha looked at it to.

"What the heck?" Kagome looked over at the swollen headed Shippo in confusion. After he rubbed his sore spot fore a few minutes until he finally answered.

"That heart glowed purple because it wanted to tell you that I was hurt." Hinting that Inu-Yasha had hurt him. "When I'm not with you and I am in danger or injured, it will glow and then you would know that something's wrong and come help." The heart had stopped glowing and Kagome put it away.

"Well that's a very helpful thing." Kagome looked up at the sky; it looked about seven thirty.

"Wow, the day went by a little fast." She said to herself.

"Hey Miroku, want to help me find a place were we could rest for the night?" Sango asked. Shippo jumped onto Sango's shoulder.

"Can I come?" Sango nodded her head.

"Ok, we better go then, Inu-Yasha, Kagome, you two go a different way to look to ok?" They nodded and split up. Inu-Yasha and Kagome walked for a while until Inu-Yasha spotted a mud pile; he smirked as an idea popped into his head.

'Kagome's gonna get it.' Kept running through his mind.

"Kagome, I think I see something over here and I want you to come with me to check it out." Kagome walked over and Inu-Yasha's smirk grew wider.

"Well, what did you want me to see?" Inu-Yasha was behind her now.

"This!" He shouted as he pushed her in.

"Hey!" She popped up out of the puddle of mud. Inu-Yasha was laughing so hard, she was covered in mud, he could only see her eyes through all the mud that was packed onto her body.

"Not funny!" Mud had filled Kagome's ears and she was cleaning it out with her finger. Inu-Yasha almost fell over laughing as she cleaned off her face and arms with her hands.

"Inu-Yasha, will come over here?" Inu-Yasha didn't like that innocent look in her eyes, but he started walking over to her anyway. She was still in the mud pile and had her arms on the side were it wasn't so slippery. Inu-Yasha squatted down so he was eye level with her.

"Ya?" Kagome leaned up a little. 'She's going to kiss me!' His heart raced. 'But why, I just pushed her into a pile of mud?' He thought for a second. 'Oh crap.' Too late. Kagome gave him a small kiss on the nose then smirked as she grabbed his wrists, flung him over her head so he got a face plant into the mud. He looked up at her; she was smirking at him, now he was covered with mud, you could only make out a few pieces of white and red through all the muck.

"Ha! Know you know how it feels dog boy!" Kagome shouted as she got out of the mud to clean herself off. Inu-Yasha just scowled and she smiled at him.

"Well, you should have known not to mess with me." He crawled out of the mud only to slip back in again.

"Stupid mud." He muttered. Kagome sighed as she went to help him.

"Do you think that everything is stupid?" She asked as she put out her hand.

"Not everything." He mumbled as he gladly took her outstretched hand.

"Well why do you have to call everything stupid when it doesn't do what you want it to do?" She said as she yanked him out.

"Thanks." He muttered. "It's because nothing seems to do anything I want it to."

"Well lots of thing don't go my way, like you always trying to make me stay here, or Miroku sometimes mistakes me for Sango and gropes Me, or how about when people keep pestering me when I try to study for a test." Kagome suggested. He just shrugged.

"And lots of things go your way, like when your in a fight you never lose." Inu-Yasha was feeling a little better. Inu-Yasha looked at Kagome from head to toe.

"Wow, you're dirty. Kagome smirked.

"I wouldn't be talking if I were you mud man." She said eyeing him. Inu-Yasha got a good look at himself, to Kagome, he looked like a dog that was just washed and then jumped back in the mud just to get their owner mad. He put his hand behind his head sheepishly.

"Oops."

"Ok, know we need to add hot spring to our list." She said as she made a check mark on her imaginary list. (More like hand) She stood up with her arms out to keep her balance from falling back in the mud, which didn't really work; she fell backwards and would have fallen back in if Inu-Yasha hadn't caught her.

"Thanks." She said as he lifted her back up onto her feet. "Ok, now we've got to go find the others." Kagome quickly walked away from Inu-Yasha's strong arms, she was blushing and embarrassed. They two walked in quiet, until they heard someone yell hentai and then flesh hitting flesh.

"Well they're that way." Kagome started walking towards the slap, she came to a small patch of trees where Sango was strangling Miroku.

"Help!" The poor monk choked out.

"Looks like you two are having fun." At the sound of Kagome's voice, Sango let her death grip go on the perverted monk and looked at her.

"What happened to you?" She asked.

"We had a little trouble." Inu-Yasha stepped out. Kagome elbowed him in the gut as her eye twitched.

"This guy right here shoved me into some mud." She said. Sango looked at Inu-Yasha.

"Then what's with the mud on you?" Inu-Yasha looked at Kagome.

"She had a little payback." He remembered when she had kissed him on the nose, (How sweet) then when she flung him over head to get a face plant in the mud. (Never mind)

Well, what did you do for your afternoon then?" Kagome changed the subject to what weird things they did.

"Well first Miroku and I were walking peacefully, well we 'were' walking peacefully. Then he had to ruin the moment." Sango pointed Miroku smiled and put his hand behind his head sheepishly.

"Well I cant help it ok!" He protested. Shippo shook his head sadly.

"Whatever." Sango said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes. "Well anyway, we found a hot spring over there." Sang pointed to the West.

"Ya, we better have a bath." Kagome walked off in that direction with Inu-Yasha followed close behind. "And Miroku, if I catch you trying to peek in on me, I'll rip you to shreds!" Kagome called back. Miroku gulped at the thought.

"Oh, and guys, there's a huge rock in the middle of the spring so you won't be able to see each other, so don't worry." Sango called up to Kagome.

"Thanks, we'll be back soon." Kagome came upon a huge hot spring with a gigantic boulder in the middle to split it up into two.

"Wow, Sango wasn't kidding." Kagome said to herself.

"Ok, I'll go to that one then." Kagome walked over to the boulder and hid behind it to get undressed. Kagome trusted Inu-Yasha not to peek at her. She stripped her muddy clothes off her body and set her Tensia down beside the water so she grab it in case a threat was near. She slipped her thin body into the warm, steamy water. It felt so nice against her skin.

"That fells so much better." Kagome said as she cleaned the mud out of her hair and ears. She laid back and relaxed as her hair fanned out in the water.

Inu-Yasha was in the water to, he was thinking about Kagome for some reason. Kagome pulled him out of his thoughts.

"Hey Inu-Yasha, want some soap?" Inu-Yasha turned to face the rock so he could talk to her, even though he couldn't see her.

"What's soap?" He questioned the rock.

"Uh, you rub it on you're body and it cleans you." Kagome answered. Inu-Yasha shrugged.

"Ok then, throw some over." No sooner had he spoken when a block of soap bounced off his head.

"Ow! That hurt." He whined as he rubbed his head. He picked up the pink thing and sniffed it.

'It smells like strawberries!' He immediately took a bite out of it.

"Aaaaahhhhh! Kagome, Are you trying to kill me? This tastes awful!" He spit the chunk out.

"Well duh, I told you to 'Wash' yourself with it, not eat it." Kagome rolled her eyes on the other side of the rock. Inu-Yasha began to rub the soap on his muscular bare chest. (Girls! Stop, you'll get drool all over your keyboard!) Pink foam began to form on him and he started to rub it all over his body. By the time he was done, he looked liked a fluffy pink poodle. He dove into to the hot water. When he popped back up he swam up to where his clothes were.

"Thanks for the soap Kagome." He called to her.

"Your welcome." She called back. Kagome grabbed her bag and began looking for clothes to wear. She picked out some white pants and an orange shirt that got lighter as it went up until it was white. (She looked like the Sun was setting on her shirt) She gathered her dirty clothes and put them in a separate pocket so her other stuff wouldn't get dirty to.

"Hey Inu-Yasha, are you done yet?" She called out to him.

"Uh Kagome, I don't have any other clothes to wear." His wet head poked out behind the rack. Kagome slapped her for head and chucked a towel at his head.

"Your lucky I was prepared for this." Kagome went digging in her bag again, she brought out some clothes from her time, lose blue jeans with a red T shirt that had a black stripe going across the chest.

"Here, put these on." Kagome tossed the clothes to the half naked hanyou. He disappeared for a moment, then came back with the clothes on; he looked so hot in them!

"Wow, nice clothes Inu-Yasha." Kagome raised an eyebrow at him.

"Lets get back then." Inu-Yasha began walking back; Kagome's stomach was doing summersaults.

'He looks so cute!' She flushed at her own thoughts and took her eyes off him.

When they got back to where the others were, they all stared at Inu-Yasha.

"What's with the cool clothes?" Miroku eyed him; he pointed with his thumb towards Kagome. The two sat down below the tree where a fire was going. Shippo was off picking flowers for Kagome.

"What an exhausting day." Kagome fell backwards onto the grass.

"Ya, we should all get some sleep, but we should wait for Shippo." Sango suggested. Kagome got a couple of marshmallows out of her bag and passed them around, she stuck hers in the fire until it turned a golden brown. Inu-Yasha looked at her from the corner of his eye. The fire flickered across her face.

'Wow.' He thought. He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice that his marshmallow was on fire. But Kagome did.

"Uh, Inu-Yasha, can you look at what you're doing. He looked down at the flaming marshmallow.

"Ah crap!" He whipped the stick up and the marshmallow went flying. He put his hand behind his head sheepishly.

"Oops." Kagome was about to say watch out, but the marshmallow beat her to it. It landed right in the middle of his head, right there, a black gooey marshmallow right smack in the middle of his head. The group stared at him for about 5 seconds, then broke of in fits of laughter.

"Ha, ha, ha, very funny guys." Inu-Yasha said sarcastically.

"Hey, what's everyone laughing about?" Shippo walked up with a fistful of colorful flowers, he handed tem to Kagome and the walked over to Inu-Yasha.

"Uh Inu-Yasha, why do you smell like strawberrie and burnt marshmallows?"
