Ladies Dancing
He had done it again, and not even a day's walk from their own village. Kagome had gotten back late which meant they hadn't started out until the afternoon. They had only made it to the next village before it became too dark to travel. Inu Yasha offered to find a spot to camp outside the small town. Sango was trying to talk him into somewhere closer to water, and Miroku had wandered off in the direction of the headman's house. Before they knew it their plans for camping had gone out the window and they were sitting down to a hot meal with live entertainment and sleeping accommodations in the headman's house. He had done it again.
After dinner the music began and with it came the dancing girls. Kagome found herself entranced by their brightly coloured kimonos and fluid movements. Pulling her eyes away from the dancers, she fought to stifle a yawn. Before she could excuse herself Inu Yasha was helping her to her feet and leading her towards the sleeping quarters they had been given. "I was getting pretty bored myself watching him drool all over those girls, again. He doesn't even seem to care about how hard he's about to get hit."
Kagome smiled as Inu Yasha opened the door to their room, not because of the comment and not because of the gentlemanly act, but because at the foot of her bed beside her backpack sat a carefully folded bundle. He had done it again. Jumping onto tiptoe, Kagome placed a small kiss on her 'secret admirer's' cheek.
Inu Yasha stared at her in shock as she raced off to open her gift. "What was that for?" He finally managed to get out.
"Nothing." She smiled as she unwrapped the brightly coloured kimono that was her newest gift.
