Kagome woke up earlier than usual, she blamed it on her knowing she would be leaving at sunrise, the sky was a dark blue with the stars ever so slowly fading from view. she sighed and quietly got out of her sleeping bag and rolled it up. she packed everything she wouldn't be takeing with her into her yellow bag that her friends would be takeing with them back to Kaede's village. Kagome recalled what happened yesterday as she packed 'what is with that voice i heard? It was so... evil sounding,' then she thought of the last time she went through the well and was attacked by a demon on her side. 'it said something... that i would have another inside me, could it be true?' the thought unnerved her so she pushed it out of her mind, she would figure it out later. she smiled to her self, 'It most likely wont happen again'
The sky was getting lighter by the minuet as Kagome packed some of her medical supplies in the messenger bag near the extinguished fire. Everyone started to stir, her friends and the animals of the forest awakening around her, as she started to cook breakfast. As she opened the food compartment she sighed loudly, she was getting low on food, all she had were some instant ramen cups, there were enough for everyone, but she wished she could have made something better
Jumping down from his perch in a tree, Inuyasha made his way over to Kagome, peering over her shoulder into the bag. "What's wrong Kagome?"
"Oh," she hung her head in shame, "All we have is instant ramen, it's not a very good breakfast and I was hoping I could cook something for you guys before I left."
"So what wrong with that?" he asked, sniffing at her pouch 'whats wrong with this stuff?' he thought, he really liked the food Kagome brought back from her time. there where so many different flavors, it made him hungry just thinking about it.
"It's nothing," she said sadly, 'its better than nothing' she smiled brightly at Inuyasha. he has always thought that it was weird for her, to be sad one moment and then happy the next. "Inuyasha, could you get some water from the stream please?" as she began to rummage through her bag to find her pot Shippo walked up beside her, rubbing the sleep from his eyes
"Is there anything i can help you with mama?" he asked sleepily. Kagome thought it was so sweet of him to ask to help, so she sent him off with the task of gathering fire wood. She pulled out her pot triumphantly and sent Inuyasha on his way. Within a few minuets everyone was up and about, packing things up and chatting with each other. Kagome heard a well connected slap and knew Miroku was on his early morning groping routine.
"Can't you keep your hand to yourself once in a while?!" She yelled angrily at him. Kagome smiled to herself 'somethings never change'
Kagome looked around the campsite to see that Sesshomaru wasn't around 'I wonder where he went, the sun will be rising soon so he will want us to leave, right?' She heard the rustling of leaves and turned her head to see Shippo walking into the clearing with a bundle of small sticks. Walking next to Shippo was Sesshomaru, bigger sticks in his arms. The sight shocked Kagome and her eyes went big.
"I asked Lord Sesshomaru if he would like to help me gather wood so you could cook," Shippo beamed brightly as they walked towards the fire pit to set the wood down "i hope it was okay" he said more seriously. Kagome honestly couldn't believe that Sesshomaru would help him, was it because Shippo was a child like Rin? Kagome let the shock leave her face before anyone could really notice, but Sesshomaru already had and smirked at her when he made his approach.
"Yeah, of course it is Shippo" She smiled warmly at him as Inuyasha came into the clearing with the pot filled with water. Minuets later they had a fire started and the water was close to a boil. She Poured the water into the ramen cups and handed them to her friends, looking over she saw Sesshomaru standing next to a tree looking as bored as ever. She walked over to him cautiously, cup in hand."would you like some ramen, Lord Sesshomaru?" she asked politely hoping her nervousness wouldn't be detected, she raised the cup closer to him 'maybe if he smells it he might want to try some' she thought happily.
He sniffed the contents in the bowl subtly, it smelled delicious, but his pride would not allow him to eat something a human made. "I do not associate myself with human food" he said as he turned his head away from the bowl of amazing smells. Kagome brought the styrofoam cup to her chest and nodded to herself.
"Okay, I understand Lord Sesshomaru." she said quietly. She would have gone off it were anyone else, but she decided she had made him angry once already, and the liked having her head firmly attached to her shoulders. Kagome went back near the fire and sat in the grass, eating and chatting with her friends. Something about it made Sesshomaru's beast stir, although he didn't know with what so he pushed it down, locking his beast once more.
After everyone was finished with their breakfast and the camp was dismembered the sun finally decided to make its presance known. Kagome said her good-byes to everyone and was responded with the 'good-bye' or 'be careful'. Inuyasha didn't say anything to her though as he was not in the area 'he is off somewhere, probably in a tree or something' she thought sadly
"Miko, it is time for us to take our leave." Sesshomaru said sternly, leaving no room for argument if she tried to make one. With that the group went there separate ways, leaving Kagome in thoughts of nervousness and excitement
