Hiya people! Sorry for the long break, a plug-in thing on my computer fell inside of it, so I couldn't turn it on and type on it. I used my mom's computer to check my account but my mom wouldn't let me save anything.

By the way, Kiki's lost. Again. Probably to get drunk and rub it in my face that I'm not allowed. Again. ANYONE SEEN HER?

Disclaimer: NO, if I owned Inu-Yasha, Kikyo would be instead of a dead psychotic clay pot bitch, a really dead psychotic clay pot bitch who didn't screw with peoples lives.

Warning: This is just a side story and has nothing to do with the other parts. It basically just shows how Ken and Ship's relationship is coming along. It holds no important value, so if you don't want to read then don't. No biggy. I just decided you guys would want an update.

"Kagome! Inu-Yasha's peeking!" Kenishi and Shippo sang as they danced together.

"SI-" Kagome stopped herself mid-sentence. She had promised not to sit him as much, and hadn't for over a month now.

"Inu-Yasha, why the hell are you peeping? Don't tell me Miroku's been teaching you things," Sango hissed while staring at him with a look that promised death if he was to say anything remotely similar yes.

"NO! Miroku needs to help me hunt and went missing an hour ago! Sense you guys are taking a bath I thought for sure he'd be here." Inu-Yasha replied haughtily as he turned away from the girls.

"Yeah right! You usually hunt by yourself, why would you just suddenly need help? You just wanted to peek!" Kagome growled. She and Sango were now hiding behind some bushes dressing while Kenishi and Shippo stood guard.

"Because he wanted me to teach him how to hunt. I promised. And besides, what in all of the seven bloody hells is there to want to even look at?" he snarled.

"SI-" Kagome stopped again.

"You actually promised to help the lech?" Sango muttered as she finished dressing.

"Actually . . . well . . . he had some sak'e and . . . yeah . . . um . . ." Inu-Yasha wasn't even looking at them while he stuttered. There was a light embarrassed flush on his face.

"Lemme guess. He offered you some, you said yes, he got you good and drunk, played a game with you that he knew you would lose in your state, with a twist that the loser has to do one thing the winner says." Kagome said thoughtfully, "You lost, he asked you to teach him how to hunt, you were too drunk to say no, he made you promise, then, when you were sober, he told you what happened, and that it would increase his chances with females. Is that right?"

"Well aren't you BLUNT?" he muttered sulkily. He was still trying to get the mental image of Kagome naked out of his mind. It was making him feel . . . uncomfortable. But he rather liked the feeling.

"Actually we were at an inn and my and Sango's room was right next to yours, I was sitting with my back against the wall studying and heard everything." Kagome stated as she walked back to camp.

"And you didn't do anything to stop it?" he yelled running after her.

Kagome stopped for a second, but didn't look back. She didn't say anything until she reached her bag and pulled out a book.

"You would have just yelled that you didn't need a weak human like me to help you. Wouldn't you have?" she didn't look at him.

". . ." Inu-Yasha just turned away.

Kagome looked up for a second, then opened her book and began reading.

"Thought so," She whispered quietly to herself.

"Kagome?" Kenishi tugged at Kagome's shirt as she and Shippo plopped onto her lap. "Why are you so . . . factual?"

"You keep stating things." Shippo told her.

"Are you okay?" Kenishi asked worriedly.

"You've been like this for a while now," Shippo said with equal worry.

Kagome smiled at the them.

"How do you two do that twin thing?"

"What twin thing?" the duo asked, once again in perfect harmony as they tilted their heads to look up at her together.

"That thing were either you both say something at the same time or one of you starts to say something and the other one finishes it. Sometimes you two even do the exact same actions at the exact same time like you've practiced or something,"

Kenishi and Shippo turned to look at each other and back up symmetrically.

"No idea . . . didn't . . ." Shippo started.

"Even notice it . . . just happens . . ." Kenishi went on.

"When we seem to know what the other is thinking . . . lately . . ." Shippo continued.

"It's almost like we can read each others mind. . . we don't . . .," Kenishi muttered.

"Even need to talk to have a conversation all the time . . . it's really . . .," Shippo looked dazed.

"Kind of strange you know?" Kenishi finished with an equally dazed look.

They didn't even seem to realize that they were doing it right then.

Kagome laughed.

"Wish I could do that with Sango. It would reduce the chance of certain males listening in on our conversations and understanding 'em. But yeah, I'm fine. Just some . . . personal problems. They'll clear up soon." Kagome chirped.

"Yeah, until next month." Inu-Yasha smirked, "then she'll be like this all over again. Or she might just be bad tempered like she usually is around this time, with a mood swing to scare even Sesshomaru."

"Inu-Yasha . . . SIT BOY!"

CRASH

None of them seemed to have noticed a certain lecherous houshi hiding in the tree above the bush the girls had been dressing in.

No one seemed to see Miroku as he sat on the tree looking as though he had just taking a glimpse of paradise.

At least, it seemed that way, until a giant ass boomerang came outta nowhere and hit him square on the head, knocking him unconscious.
