Kind of a short chapter here, sorry!

Kagome shouted to Sango to watch out as she released two gleaming arrows towards the Jewel powered panther demon that was running right for Sango's open flank. The demon slayer turned in time to shield herself with Hiraikotsu, but was still splattered with purified demon.

"Euch, sorry, Sango. Wasn't expecting it to burst." Kagome winced as she kneeled to pick up the glowing pink shard. Sango started picking bits out of her hair.

"I'm all good, long as I don't get goop in my mouth." Sango said and Miroku laughed.

"You talk more like Kagome every day." he said and they started laughing. Sesshomaru watched them, amused at their words. Subtly he sniffed the wind. Beyond Kagome's glorious scent, he found a hot spring on their path to the west.

"You will be able to bathe tonight, Taijiya. There is a hot spring along this road." he said.

"Thank you very much, Sesshomaru-sama." she said, bowing her head low.

Finally they got to the clearing about 20 feet away from the hot spring Sesshomaru had previously scented out. As soon as camp was set up and a fire was burning, Sesshomaru turned to the two women.

"Go bathe, the monk and I shall prepare dinner." he said. Both girls' eyebrows shot up in shock.

"You can cook?" Kagome asked bluntly. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at her.

"This Sesshomaru has many talents you have yet to see, Miko." the demon lord replied. Kagome smirked, nodding and turned towards the spring, bag in hand.

"Come on kids, time to wash up!" she said. When the two children caught up holding both womens hands, they walked to the springs.


I know, super short I'm so sorry!
