Its one thing to wonder what a kiss is like, but it's different to know what one feels like. Both Kagome and Sanzo never had once kissed anyone before each other. Though this wasn't their only first kiss, the kiss at the dance was the one that started this.
Sanzo pulled back, both gasping for air. Sure he never kissed anyone before, but he couldn't help feeling prideful when he looked at Kagome's flushed face, panting for air.
Kagome smiled at him, a sweet loving smile. They basked in each other's warmth. Kagome leaned her head against his chest, her arms wrapped around his torso. He put his chin atop her head as he held her close, and stroke her soft inky black hair.
"We should go back." Sanzo said. Kagome nodded, and yet they didn't move, not yet ready to let go of each other. Sanzo sighed and knew he had to be the one to separate them. He took a step back from Kagome who stood there sighing, not wanting to have let him go.
Sanzo noticed, and grabbed her hand, making Kagome smile as they made their way back to the village. On their way there though, Kiyoshi came 'slithering' up to them.
"Kagome, perhaps you should keep on training!" Kiyoshi said, sounding a bit frantic.
"What? Why?" Kagome asked wondering why the ferret wanted her to keep training.
"So, you can become stronger! Right Sanzo?" Kiyoshi asked, hoping he would agree. Sanzo narrowed his eyes and picked the ferret off the ground.
"What's going on?" He demanded. Kiyoshi looked between the two of them, and looked behind, he sighed a breath of relief seeing Sango run up to them.
"Hey Kagome, Sanzo!" She greeted as she stopped in front of them,
"Hey, Sango, um what's going on?" Kagome asked confused as to why they were acting this way.
"Nothing! Nothing's going, I just thought, that um, I can help with your training!" Sango exclaimed, shaking her head happily. Kagome gave an owlish blink.
"Train me?" Kagome asked, a bit confused by the sudden proposition. Sango nodded her head again.
"That's right! I thought that perhaps we can teach you to use something else besides you're arrows." Sango said trying to convince the younger girl. Sanzo narrowed his eyes and stood in front of Sango.
"Cut the crap, what's going on?" He demanded. Sango and Kiyoshi exchanged worried looks. Sango was about to speak, but Miroku and Shippo came running up to them.
"Kagome!" Shippo said as he jumped into her embrace.
"Shippo! What's wrong?" Kagome asked as she held onto him. Hakkai, Gojyo, and Goku running towards them, come to halt.
Sango glared at all of them, he pulled out his gun and held it threateningly at all of them.
"For the last time, what is going on?" He demanded.
"Sanzo!" Kagome scolded at the way he was acting. Everyone looked at each other, Sango spoke up.
"Well you see, Inuyasha came back earlier, but you guys were out training, and he seemed to have brought someone with him." Sango said as she explained to Kagome.
"Brought someone?' Kagome questioned, a certain someone coming into mind.
"He didn't!" Kagome cried out, hoping that this wasn't happening. Miroku sighed and stepped forward, placing an arm around her shoulder, earning him a glare from Sanzo.
"I'm afraid so Kagome." He said as he stepped away. Sanzo wondered what had Kagome so upset.
"What's going?" He asked, wanting to know what was bothering the one he loved.
"I'm not sure if Kagome told you this or not, but, Kagome is the reincarnation of a priestess named Kikyo. Kikyo used to be Inuyasha's love interest, but 50 years ago she died. Now she has been resurrected and is a living clay pot, still souls of other women." Sango explained, the other's listening with surprise.
"And how does this affect Kagome?" Hakkai asked wondering what the problem was.
"You see," Miroku started, "Kikyo has a part of Kagome's soul."
The Saiyuki boy's eyes widen. Kagome was missing part of her soul?
"But, how is that possible?" Gojyo asked as he looked at Kagome, who was holding Shippo and looking down at the ground. Sango again spoke up,
"Kagome's soul was used to resurrect Kikyo, an evil witch tried using the resurrected as a slave, but it backfired. Kagome was able to get her soul back, but not all of it."
Kagome looked up, her eyes watering a bit, as she spoke.
"Inuyasha also has the nerve to compare me to her, calling me weak and useless."
Sanzo glared at this information, if the mutt thinks he can get away with this, he's got another thing coming.
"Let's go." Sanzo said as he walked forward towards the hut, in which they had been staying in.
Everyone followed him, Sango and Kagome in the back, with Sango trying to comfort her. Goku had Shippo in his arms with Kiyoshi on his head.
Everyone stopped in front of the hut entrance. Sanzo glared and pushed the flap out of the way. He glared as he saw Inuyasha turn to him, and a woman that resembled Kagome a bit. Everyone else stepped inside.
Inuyasha spoke up,
"I don't care what you guys have to say, but Kikyo is now joining us to help hunt for the jewels." He said as he helped Kikyo stand up. She eyed them all with those emotionless eyes of hers. She glared when she saw Kagome, but she noticed the increase of her spiritual powers.
"It seems my reincarnation has finally learned how to control her powers." She snidely remarked.
Thing got silent though when Sanzo stepped forward in front of her, glaring and radiating anger, stopped in front of her and a loud smack could be heard throughout the whole hut, as everyone's eyes widen.
