Don't own Inuyasha!
"To help me train?" Kagome couldn't believe her ears.
"Kagome you can barely take care of yourself in a battle! You are as useless as one can be. You need to start carrying your own weight," said Inuyasha.
"Lady Kagome," came Miroku`s voice as he placed a hand upon her hip. "Pervert!", she imprinted her palm on the monk's face.
Gently rubbing his red cheek, said pervert continued to make his point.
"Lady Kikyo can help you master your abilities .We all understand that you come from a time where demons are extinct, that's why we didn't insist upon your training. Inuyasha has a good point"
"No he doesn't! You can train me. You are a monk after all Miroku". She didn't like the dead priestess having access to their camp and information.
"Heh, I thought you would understand by now that I `m not really all that holy Kagome...", said Miroku, mischief sparkling in his eyes.
"But your sutras work and you can exorcize demons."
"Kagome I merely slay demons like Inuyasha and the rest of us, I just use some tricks I picked up from my drunk mentor"
"I don't trust her"
"Stop being childish Kagome!" Inuyasha cut across her, his voice harsh.
"Look, I wouldn't be happy either if you showed up with my brother and told me the same … "
Miroku understood where this was going and decided to find a new victim he can grope.
Sango was the perfect choice. She was pretending to stargaze, to keep an eye on Kikyo.
"Wait why did you say Sesshomaru and not Kouga?"
"AHA! So you do prefer the fleabag! "
"SIT BOY!" The hanyou bit the dust.
"I said Kouga because I don't know… maybe I wouldn't be melted in a pool of goo or maimed the second your brother shows up." Kagome cried in exasperation.
"Just admit it damn it! You brought Kikyo here just because you wanted not for me."
He was silent. Inuyasha was never a good liar, and Kagome knew when it was time to pull back.
From the thick bushes, Sesshomaru was ignoring the quarrel. He was deep in thought. Would he also be dead in her time?
xXx
Demon attacks have been rare the past week since Kikyo had joined the group. Inuyasha was leading the gang into the mountains. That's where the dead priestess claimed to feel a Shikon jewel. Kagome couldn't feel anything and wasn't shy to spill it all in Sango`s ear.
Inuyasha was carrying his dead lover, while Kirara had to bear the burden of three humans upon her back.
Traveling airborne was a necessity because the steep mountains couldn't be hiked.
"Sango I can't feel any shards," Kagome whispered in her friend's ear.
"Whatever she plans we will find out soon enough."
"Girls what are you whispering about?" asked Miroku.
"Nothing." Eyes up front and keep your hands for yourself." Said Sango as she pinched Miroku`s ribs gently.
"My dear you should keep your hands on me if you don't want to fall." Replied Miroku implying something.
The girls continued their whispered conversation; Inuyasha could hear it all too clear and he was getting tired of it.
There has never been so much gossip in their group. Lucky that Kikyo was clueless to all of it. She was quietly directing Inuyasha and keeping her mouth shut. Small talk wasn't her thing.
"Inuyasha we must find a place to rest. Kirara can't go much further." said Sango.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for a place to camp."
The sky was darkening as the overworked fire cat touched solid ground.
Everyone was sore from the ride, especially Kirara and Inuyasha.
"Miroku gather some fire wood please, and I'll quickly whip up some instant ramen."
"How can I help you Kagome?" asked Sango.
"Nothing much really… I guess you could give Kirara a back rub. She earned it", Kagome joked.
"What about me Kagome?" asked Shippou with hopeful eyes.
"Can you hear any stream nearby?"
"Mmmmm… not so far away there should be one."
"Off you go then. Just be careful" said Kagome with a smile as she handed the little demon two empty bottles.
Looking through her backpack for the instant ramen bags she heard moans of pleasure.
Inuyasha was laying on his stomach, having Kikyo's cold hands loosening up his tired muscles.
`So awkward...` Kagome thought, as she started blushing lightly.
His face was radiating pleasure and content. Every moan was almost like a purr.
Kagome was starting to have nasty thoughts. Asking herself if he was purring like that when engaged into other types of activities which involve moaning.
`What is wrong with me? I should take a cold shower or something.` Kagome mentally kicked herself.
Trying to find pots was not a distraction enough to block out the uninvited thoughts.
`Okay Kagome, think of something nasty… nasty… a total turnoff. Hmmm … I know! Sesshomaru! The guy is cold as a fish. ` Yes, Kagome was victorious. She still got a chill whenever she remembered Sesshomaru. That was definitely a turnoff!
"Oh my it seems that we should give them some time alone.", said Miroku, startling Kagome out of her reverie, as he returned with wood for fire. She barely hid her surprise.
Looking at Sango, Kagome realized that it was actually Kirara the one purring.
`Was I the only one finding that kinky?` Kagome asked herself. Sango was just ruffling the cat's glossy fur, enjoying the response she was getting from the tiny feline.
`Screw this shit! My hormones must he throwing a party or something. `
Hope it was a good chapter!
