Chapter 16

"Inuyasha slow down, I'm still a bit tried from yesterday." Kagome wined, it wasn't like Kagome to wine. Sango and Miroku couldn't remember the last time she had ever wined.

"I agree with Kagome we have been walking for three days straight and only taking small breaks for each meal's and to sleep at night." Sango stated, walking up to Kagome's side.

"But if we don't keep a steady pace we will never reach Naraku!" Inuyasha protested.

"Yes Inuyasha, but if you don't let us rest we will slow you down even more." Miroku replied knowledgably.

"Feh! Fine well take a break." Inuyasha said sitting on a near by rock.

"Thank you Inuyasha!" Kagome said happily. They had been following the south river and Kagome decided to relax her feet by putting them inside the river as did Sango. Everything was relaxing, they all talked well except for Inuyasha who just grumbled stuff about kicking Naraku's ass, and such.

The three where talking until they heard a slap come from Inuyasha. They got up and wondered over to him and found him staring down at his hand.

"Ummm, Inuyasha why did you just slap your self?" Kagome asked.

"I slapped this off." Inuyasha said pointing at something squished in his hand. In a couple of seconds the thing inflated to what seemed to be a flea.

"Lord Inuyasha I have been looking all over for you!" The flea said happily.

"Myoga? What are you doing here? I haven't seen you since I was a pup." Inuyasha looked down at the flea.

"Ah well it is time for you to inherit your sword, your brother sent me. He said he would arrive in a week or so." Myoga replied as he sat cross legged in Inuyasha's hand.

"You have a brother, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Half. He is my half brother, Shessomaru. He is lord of the western lands, but he is full- youkai un-like me." Inuyasha said.

"And you two have never gotten along together." Myoga added.

"Well it's been over 10 years since we've seen each other. Why did he choose now to find me?" Inuyasha wondered.

"Well me Lord, Lord Shessomaru figured you were old enough to take responsibility of the sword your father forged for you. Also he heard rumors of you seeking Naraku. Naraku being lord of the southern lands has been trying to own all of the Northern, Eastern, and Western lands. Shessomaru-sama is trying to keep his land to himself along with the other lords. So he would like to give you some information about Naraku and what he is up to." Myoga said wisely.

"Ok but what are we going to do for the time being?" Inuyasha asked.

"You must wait for him to come and talk to you." Myoga announced.

"If we wait for him will never be able to find Naraku fast enough!" Inuyasha protested.

"But my Lord you must wait! It will take no longer then a week. Please be patient lord Inuyasha!" Myoga retorted.

"Inuyasha we might as well wait for your brother, he might have some useful information on killing Naraku." Miroku noted.

"And anyway we have no leads on were he is; besides that he is in the Southern lands." Kagome stated.

Inuyasha was greatly annoyed that he would be delayed on killing the bastard who wanted his soon-to-be-mate. But he knew he couldn't, and shouldn't get mad at Kagome so he squished the flea in his hand, then jumped in a tree while saying his all too famous line.

"Feh!"

They set up camp and decided to then go straight to bed, but Inuyasha didn't eat or talk to the group. Kagome was worried that he was being so quiet. When everyone was sound asleep, Kagome woke up feeling some sort of guilt in the middle of the night. She sat up and looked around till her eye's hit something slouching in a tree. She stood up and walked over to it.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered, so she wouldn't wake the others.

He didn't say anything and just looked straight out into the distance. Kagome knew he heard her so she was going to play a little trick on him. She sat down near the tree and thought out loud.

"I wonder why Inuyasha isn't talking? Doesn't he want talk to me?" There was a pause as she felt Inuyasha's heavy stare on her, then she stood up dusting off her hakama's.

"Well fine if his not going to talk to me I'll go and talk to Naraku! Maybe he'll be a gentle ma…" She was cut off by a fuming hanyou in front of her.

"No way in hell are you going to go and talk to him!" Inuyasha was going to say something else but was cut off by a kiss from Kagome.

"I was just kidding, relax." Kagome said breaking away from the kiss.

"No Kagome! That is nothing to be joking about!" He said very un-pleased.

"Well if you weren't talking to me so I just wanted to get your attention!" Kagome huffed out, as well as turning around.

Inuyasha hugged her from the behind, rapping his arms around her waist. Her arms were still crossed in front of her chest, but she relaxed…a bit. He lowered his head to her shoulder and bit down, but not hard enough to break the skin. Kagome loosened up and knew she had to listen up.

"Kagome, I didn't want to talk because I didn't want to get into an argument, but in the end we did." He said softly.

"Why didn't you want to talk to the other as well as me? And why have you been so grumpy?" she asked leaning her head on his shoulder.

"First off when everyone agreed that we should stay put for my brother to come, I didn't want to stay. Because all I want to do is kill that son of a bitch Naraku!" There was a pause. "And I knew if I didn't agree you would get mad at me." He said sighing.

"Inuyasha you know need to talk to Shessomaru before we go kill Naraku. We have no leads on where he is. So don't make such a fuse, and don't worry I'm not mad." She said kissing his cheek.

"I know it's just that I hate knowing he is out there using the jewel for bad and knowing that he'll come back trying to take you away from me." He said turning her around.

"Don't worry I would never go any where with him…though his baboon suit is cute." Kagome said playfully.

"What you don't think I'm cute?" Inuyasha asked trying to look sad but failed because he kept smirking.

"No, I think you are adorable. And I just can't resist your cute puppy ears!" She said scratching them.

Kagome's body was pressed against his un-knowingly to her. Inuyasha was purring lightly sending a soft vibration to go though Kagome. Inuyasha has his hands on the sides of her hips, while Kagome's hands were occupied playing with his ears. Inuyasha leaned forward and kissed her passionately, until half way though they heard someone cough rather loudly. They separated and looked straight at who coughed. It was Sango.

"Hope I'm not interrupting anything." She said staring at them.

"Umm, no no your not. I was just saying good night to Inuyasha." Kagome said jumping back into her mat and placing the blanket over her shoulders.

"Uh huh, sure Kagome." Sango said lying back down and falling back to sleep.

"You'd think we could get 10 minutes alone!" Inuyasha grumbled off, until he heard a gentle voice.

"Goodnight Inuyasha." Kagome curled deep in her blanket.

"Feh!" He replied jumping back into his spot on the tree.

5 minuets later once Inuyasha knew she was asleep, he jumped out of the tree and walked over to her. He kneeled down and removed her bangs from her forehead, after he kissed it softly.

"Goodnight Kagome." He whispered then once again jumped back into his tree.

"You love her don't you?" A voice said on his shoulder.

"I thought I squashed you, Myoga!" Inuyasha said in a harsh whisper.

"You can't get rid of this old man so easily." Myoga replied sitting down.

"But as I recall you are the first to run when there is trouble ahead, am I not right?" Inuyasha asked.

"What! I would never abandon a fight Lord Inuyasha!" Myoga noticed Inuyasha wasn't paying attention to him but was looking at a slumbering girl on the ground.

"You two are mates?" Myoga asked.

"No, not yet." He said still staring at her.

"Are you at least courting her?" Myoga questioned.

"Yes, for a month now." He replied taking his eyes off the girl and staring straight forward.

"That's a start. You seem to really love her. Just like how your father loved your mother." Myoga said.

"Yeah I guess." Inuyasha said and leaned his head down so his chin was touching his chest, falling asleep.

(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)

He woke up to loud laughing and talking. He looked straight down to see his companions laughing and talking around the fire pit.

"Remember when Miroku first touched your butt, he was only five years old, you pushed him into the river. And when he came out there was a fish in his hakama's." Kagome said and then burst out laughing.

"You know he was quiet decent until he found out what an ass feels like." Sango said glaring at the monk.

"Well the fish was worth grabbing Sango's…"

))Conk((

Miroku fell backwards, unconscious. Sango was standing behind him with her Hiraikotsu in hand. Kagome was on the ground laughing un-controllably. When she calmed down she opened her eye's to see Inuyasha looking down at her.

"Oh hey Inuyasha, good morning." She said in between giggles.

"Hey." He said sitting down next to the fire pit. Inuyasha looked at Miroku then at Sango's angry expression, and her placing her huge weapon down.

"Let me guess the monk said something perverted…again." Inuyasha said eating a bowl of food that the group left him.

"You could say that." Kagome giggled.

Sango was mumbling about 'stupid houshi, can't keep his dirty thought to him self.' While finishing her food.

Later on that day Myoga told Inuyasha and the others that he was going to search for Shessomaru-sama and tell him were they were located. Inuyasha nodded and Myoga was off.

"Well I guess we'll have to stay put until Myoga and Shessomaru return." Kagome sighed.

"Guess so." Inuyasha said.
