Miroku smiled. "Did you enjoy our little dinner?"

"What the burned yams and soggy bread?" Kagome muttered in disgust.

"Oh, come now, It's not my fault we were robbed when we stopped at that village back there." He said.

"Not your fault eh?" Kagome glared at him. "Seeing how it was your big idea to stop at the village to flirt with that farmer's daughter, and how it was you who put out supplies in the middle of the road...leaving me with my hands tied on the to stand guard after having been dragged through mud, rain, rivers streams, wetlands and A MOUNTAIN, and seeing how it was your BIG idea to RUN AFTER HER INTO THE WOODS LEAVING EVERYTHING INCLUDING ME IN THE ROAD FOR ANYONE TO JUST WALK BY AND TAKE I VENTURE TO SAY ITS YOUR FAULT!"

"Well.. heh, when you put it like that..."

"Your lucky those bandits didn't take me too!" Kagome yelled. "I am going to KILL you Miroku... when you untie my hands I will STRANGLE YOU WITH THEM!"

"Now now, no need to be hostile, we're almost there anyway. I'll make it up toy you when we get there, after all I did bet I could make you fall for me." Miroku winked and curled up to sleep. Kagome seethed with rage. Miroku inched away from her.

"Untie my hand Miroku! RIGHT NOW!" Kagome screamed, her fiery rage was visible.

"If I do that you'll just run back, I made a bet and I aim to finish it. Besides, you said you'd kill me... It's just a little longer now. I'll have to blindfold you though so you can't get back. I've everything riding on this you remember. Like I said, I'll make it up to you when we get there. Now rest up, we have a bit of a hike to go."

"I'll kill you, I swear I'll kill you... this place had better be good Miroku, or they'll never find your corpse!"

"Of that I have no doubt." Miroku said nervously inching further away.
