Vile

It was a hot afternoon and the five companions were driving along in their jeep.

"I want water…and food," said Goku.

"You're always hungry," said Gojyo.

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Ye…" Gojyo's reply was cut off by a gun shot.

"Geez Sanzo, did you have to do that?" asked Gojyo.

"Yes, now stop arguing."

"Sanzo is right. I'm sure we'll find a town soon or a place to stop. Besides you could have woken Kagome up," said Hakkai.

"Too late for that," came Kagome's tired response.

"We're sorry Kagome," said both Gojyo and Goku.

"It's not your fault, not really. It was that gun shot," said Kagome as she fixed Sanzo with a glare.

Hakkai, Goku and Gojyo looked between Kagome and Sanzo. Those two hadn't gotten along since they first picked her up about a month ago. Hakkai thought about all their past fights. They were all very entertaining, especially when they first met her.

~Flashback~

They had been driving for awhile and the usual arguments went on between Goku and Gojyo. Hakkai looked ahead to see something that was completely out of place. He quickly glanced towards Sanzo to see if he saw it too.

"Hakkai, we should check it out."

"Right."

They drove until they were almost right upon it and then they stopped. There just a few feet ahead was a young raven haired woman sitting on the edge of a well.

"Who are you?" asked Sanzo as he cocked his gun at her.

"I'm Kagome. Who are you and the three demons with you?"

Before Sanzo could answer, Gojyo jumped out of the jeep and headed to her.

"My name is Gojyo, and I would be honored if you…" he didn't get to finish because he was immediately slapped very hard by Kagome.

"Now, monk, answer my question."

"Why should I?"

"I told you who I was; it's only far that you tell me who you are."

"I'm Sanzo, this is Hakkai and Goku," he said pointing to each of them, "And you've already met Gojyo."

"So you are all heading west, am I correct?"

"Yes…" answered Sanzo suspiciously.

"Great! Then I shall travel with you."

"No!" shouted Sanzo.

"Yes!" Shouted the other three at the same time.

"No. What help would you be anyway?

"Plenty of help."

"Ha. I don't see how. You're a woman and weak."

At that point Kagome's eyes blazed with anger. Her powers crackled around her, so strong that Hakkai, Goku and Gojyo had to step back a few paces. Even a few of the demons that had started to sneak up on them fled.

"I'm not weak," she growled out, forming a bow and arrow from her powers, and shooting at some of the foolish demons that didn't flee.

Everyone stared in shock save Sanzo who just looked angry. He grumbled and hopped back into the jeep. Hakkai turned to Kagome and said, "Come on. We could definitely use your help."

Kagome hopped in the front sitting between Sanzo and Hakkai. Following her Goku and Gojyo hopped into the back and they headed west.

~End Flashback~

Hakkai was taken out of his memories when Sanzo decided that they would stop.

*FD*

Kagome looked at Sanzo with a look that said, 'Are you crazy?"

"So much like Inuyasha, making us stop when he and only he wants to," she grumbled underneath her breath.

"What was that Kagome?" Sanzo asked.

"Nothing, she replied while preparing the ingredients she needed for dinner. (A/N: she was going to say, "Nothing, not a thing…Cruella." If I had Sanzo respond it would have been, "Nothing? Nothing? Nothing, tra, la, la?")

After everyone ate dinner they all settled into their bed rolls. Kagome fell asleep fairly quickly. It was long though, until she had a nightmare. She started tossing and turning as well as talking. With all the noise she was making she woke up Sanzo.

*FD*

Sanzo woke up to the noise that Kagome was making. He looked around and noticed that nobody else was awake. 'Great.'

"Kagome, be quiet," he said. When she didn't answer, he reluctantly got up and went over to her. He sighed, "Must be a nightmare."

He looked down at her tossing form. 'She's not so bad when she sleeps.' Then he bent down and began shaking her.

"Kagome, wake up. Come on Kagome."

He backed off when she sprang up terrified. He looked at her tear stained face and shaking form. Sanzo sighed, "Come here Kagome."

*FD*

"What?" Kagome asked.

"Come here."

Kagome moved into Sanzo's arms and just let him hold her. 'This is nice…I feel so safe.'

"W-what was the nightmare about?"

"My past and how I lost my friends."

"Tell me."

So, she began her tale. When she was finished he looked shocked.

"Well, I guess I was wrong about you."

Kagome laughed and said, "You're not as vile as I thought you were."

"Thanks."

"Uh, Sanzo?"

"Yes, Kagome?"

"Could you stay with me, just in case the nightmare comes back?"

"Yes, just let me get my bed roll."

Kagome silently watched as he grabbed his bedding and headed back to her. He quickly placed his bed roll next to hers. They both then laid down and fell asleep. Unconsciously Kagome curled up to Sanzo and laid her head on his chest while Sanzo wrapped his arms around her protectively.

*FD*

Hakkai, Gojyo and Goku woke up to the surprise of their lives. All three saw Sanzo and Kagome cuddled up together.

"I thought they hated each other?" asked Goku.

"This is not fair. I want to be cuddled up with Kagome," whined Gojyo.

"Well, I guess they do like each other," stated Hakkai.

They watched as the two snuggled closer together, and then wake up.

"Um," Sanzo and Kagome said, not realizing that they had an audience. They only saw each other. Their faces moved closer to one another until their lips met. Gojyo, Goku and Hakkai stared at the two in shock. Gojyo then snapped out of it and loudly cleared his throat. (A/N: somebody's jealous.)

Kagome and Sanzo quickly parted and looked at the others. Kagome had a huge blush spreading across her face while Sanzo actually had a genuine smile on his face.

"What just happened?" Goku asked.

Sanzo answered by saying, "Kagome and I are together."

"Really?" asked a skeptical Gojyo.

"Yes," answered Kagome.

"How?" Hakkai asked.

"Well it all started with a nightmare…" began Sanzo.

End.
