Kagome knew this was going to be a long trip to the west and that she was going to have to make camp and spend alone time with Naraku at some point, but if she was telling him she was going to mate him for this the very least she could do was spend time with him. It was getting dark now and she had been looking for places to stop, though she would much rather continue walking. Finally she found a place with a hot spring near bye. She needed a bath, she still had her friends blood all over her.
"This is where we will rest for the night." She said as she gestured around. "I suggest you find some firewood, I am going to go and take a bath in the hot spring not far away. I will put up a barrier to keep you out so don't try to peep. We will find food after I come back."
"You'll warm up to me soon enough." Naraku said as he walked off in search of firewood.
Kagome took her bathing supplies and a change of clothes with her to the hot springs and slowly started taking off her clothes, she stripped off the blood stained clothing and felt how much she was actually hurting. She winced as she slipped into the water and she felt it caress over her muscles. It was now that she realized it, everyone she knew was dead, and she had absorbed the jewel. Her son, her sister, her former love, her friend. Everyone she cared about was gone.
"Oh god no." She whimpered and she cried. She began sobbing uncontrollably pulling her knees up her to her chest.
Naraku heard "Oh god" and he decided to follow the sound, perhaps the miko was putting on a show and he would get lucky enough to sneak up on her. But when he arrived he found just the opposite, a desolate miko who was sobbing uncontrollably. He watched her curiously as he saw her rock back and forth and repeat the names of her friends over and over like a mantra. He had not taken into account what the miko had witnessed or what she was giving of herself. He was fully demon now, perhaps it was time that he started acting like it.
A while later Kagome joined him and there was a roaring fire along with dinner there for her.
"Why thank you Naraku." She said slightly confused, she had thought they were going to go and hunt after she bathed. This was a pleasant surprise.
"You are welcome, Kagome." He said, the way he stressed her voice made her look at him. Now that he wasn't a hideous spider he was actually pretty easy on the eyes, actually very easy on the eyes. He had an amazing body and not to mention she had never realized just how hypnotic his eyes were. She averted her eyes and finished her dinner. After that she went to sleep, chastising herself and reminding herself that this was Naraku she was having these lusty feelings about. What is wrong with me! She shook her head and rolled over going to sleep.
