The group had stop under a shady canopy of trees, it had begun to become hot and the pets we're getting a bit overheated so they stopped to get out of the heat and to take a break.
Everyone was fine, except Inuyasha and Kikyo who were still pissed at Kagome.
"Hey Kagome since we stopped can we have lunch?" Asked Goku, giving her pleading puppy dog eyes.
Kagome giggled as responded, "Sure Goku, we can have lunch. Sango, Hakkai? Can you two help me please?"
"Of course, Kagome." Hakkai said as he helped Sango up and both went over to Kagome.
Miroku faced Goku and Shippo, "Say you two, why don't you take Kagome's empty water bottles and fill them up. It is a rather hot day."
"Alright, come on Shippo." Goku said, as both boys were handed the empty water bottles by Kagome and ran off to the nearest stream.
"Kiyoshi please go with them if you don't mind." Kagome said looking at the white ferret.
Kiyoshi looked up from the conversation he was having with Kirara and Hakuryu and went after the boys.
"So Kagome, what you making?" Asked Gojyo as he came over to see what they were making.
"Well my mom had packed a few extra things in my pack, so I'm making a few sandwiches, some steam, and ramen." Kagome answered as she handed Sango the finished sandwich.
Gojyo nodded and went back over to Sanzo and Miroku.
"So fellas, how about a game of cards?" Gojyo asked as he pulled a deck of cards out. Sanzo and Miroku nodded and joined the game.
Shippo and Goku came back with the water bottles and put them back in Kagome's pack.
Inuyasha glared as everyone went about with their day. He grumbled as Kikyo sat next to him.
"Alright, lunch is ready!" Kagome called out as she handed the first two plates to Goku and Shippo. Everyone got a plate and ate; of course Kikyo didn't seem to want any.
Kagome decided to ignore it, whether she couldn't eat or she was just being rude, Kagome didn't care. Everyone chatted as they ate.
"Kagome?" Miroku asked getting the young girls attention.
"Yes Miroku?" Kagome said looking at him.
"I know we don't have much of the jewel, but what about Koga's?" Miroku asked.
Kagome gave a thoughtful look on it, "Well we can always ask for it after we defeat Naraku."
Everyone nodded, it sounded alright. Inuyasha huffed; everyone was acting as though he wasn't here!
"If everyone's finish let's pack up and get moving." Sanzo said standing up and helping Kagome up. Everyone nodded and cleaned up their mess and left again for the rode.
Sanzo looked around as everyone was traveling on the pets again. They were making great time, it was faster than walking. He also didn't mind that it was him and Kagome on Kiyoshi, with Kagome leaning back against him.
It was quite but it was a peaceful one, hell even Inuyasha and Kikyo were in a better mood. He looked around again and noticed how Miroku hand was going lower on Sango's back.
Soon enough everyone turned around after hearing a smack.
"You pervert!" Sango yelled at Miroku, while Gojyo and Goku laughed at the scene with Miroku holding his red cheek. Sanzo even gave a small chuckle at the scene.
Of course Sango demanded that Miroku ride with Hakkai, Gojyo and Goku. Which resulted in Kagome offering to ride with her, which meant that Sanzo was now riding alone on Kiyoshi's back.
Kiyoshi gave a smirk at Sanzo, yes he felt a bit sorry for the man but it was funny to him. Sanzo could feel the smirk the ferret was wearing.
"Wipe that smirk of your face before I shoot it off." Sanzo warned. Kiyoshi could only smile now at the current mood the priest was in.
Everyone traveled, taking a break later when the pets were hot and then getting back on the road. They kept on traveling till it was sunset and found a spot to set up camp.
Gojyo got a fire going, Goku and Shippo were sent out to find some wood with Kiyoshi following them, Kagome and Sango went to refill the water bottles since everyone drank them dry, and lastly Hakkai was in charge of dinner.
Miroku and Sanzo we're talking, Sanzo asking about Naraku trying to get enough information about the man they would be fighting. Shippo and Goku returning with the wood
The girls came back and grabbed there bathing supplies saying they found a hot spring and were going to bathe.
After they left Miroku got a lecherous grin, only to find Sanzo's gun in it.
"Don't even think about it." Sanzo warned as he lowered it, getting a nod from Miroku. Shippo chuckled at Miroku and continued to show Goku his toy top.
Inuyasha watched where the girls had once been and looked back at Kikyo.
"Something wrong Inuyasha?" Asked Kikyo looking back up at him.
"Well don't you want to go bathe too?" Inuyasha asked, maybe he could get the girls to let Kikyo join them next time. Kikyo gave a small smile at him for his thoughtfulness but nodded no.
Inuyasha sighed; well it wasn't like the girls would agree anyway.
Everyone waited they came back and had dinner. Afterwards everyone settled down to sleep. Tomorrow was another long day.
