“Where the fuck have you been?”

Yep. That was a nice way to be greeted by her closest friend. “In case you've forgotten Inuyasha, you were screaming at me about how I was terrible with the bow and arrow! So I went to go practice!” Kagome yelled back.

“And in case you forgot, you were the one sitting me to fucking hell and back!” Inuyasha took two steps forward so that he and Kagome were literally nose to nose. “And it's not my fault you're no good as a fighter!”

“Now friends, perhaps we should all take a step back and...” Miroku tried to cut in before being ominously interrupted.

“Inuyasha,” Kagome said sweetly, her face the perfect picture of serenity.

“Don't you say it! Don't you fucking say it again you bit...”

“OSUWARI!”

*SMACK*

Inu yasha kissed the dirt.

Kagome strode up to the hanyou hole, anger blazing in her blue eyes. Looking down at the prone and groaning form of Inuyasha she said, “I TOLD you that I went to PRACTICE! What more do you want from me?” And then, out of pure spite, she kicked a little pile of dirt in the hole and right on top of Inuyasha's head.

Miroku and Sango both gasped. Kagome was never one to be vindictive, and the simple gesture of kicking dirt onto the hanyou was very unlike her. They both watched as she stomped away from the inu shaped crater and over to her sleeping bag. With a large huff, she climbed in, fully dressed, and zipped it up around her.

Apparently they were on their own for dinner.

********************************************************** **

“Mmrph” Kagome muttered sleepily. It had taken forever to actually fall asleep, since Inuyasha had done his best to guilt trip her into making him some ramen. But for once, Kagome had stuck to her guns and pretended not to hear anything he said, despite his increasing volume. Finally he had given up and gone fishing, and the group as a whole had been quiet. After they had eaten, Miroku and Sango and fallen asleep, and Shippo had curled up with Kirara, wanting to avoid the wrath of the miko. Even he realized that today must have been a really bad one for her.

“Mmrph!” Kagome muttered a little louder this time. What was poking her anyway?

“Come on Kagome, wake up. I wanna talk to ya.”

Kagome managed to burrow her head down into the sleeping bag before muttering, “Not now Inuyasha. I'm sleeping. We'll talk in the morning.”

“No Kagome, we're gonna talk now.” And with that said, Inuyasha ripped the top of the sleeping bag away from her body.

“Inuyasha!” Kagome whispered fiercely, totally enraged but not wanting to wake her sleeping comrades. With a look at the hanyou's face, she could see his resolve already set. “Fine. What is it?” she asked him grumpily.

“I want to know where you went today.”

With a sigh of exasperation Kagome responded, “I told you already Inuyasha, I went to go practice. I figured you'd be pleased about it.”

“Not without me! What would have happened if something had attacked you? You could have been hurt Kagome!”

Kagome recognized the fact that he was worried about her, and it was sort of cute in an obnoxious way. After all, she wouldn't have been out there alone in the first place if weren't for his mouthing off about how she was crap at archery. Not to mention the fact that she wouldn't be in this stupid arrangement with Sesshomaru if Inuyasha could have just been nicer about the whole thing!

“Well, you better get used to it Inuyasha, because I'm going to start doing a lot more practicing, and you're NOT invited.”

“No fucking way! There's no way that I'm going to let you go off on your own to practice! If you were a decent shot and could take care of yourself that would be a different story....”

“Wait! Let me? LET me? You can't keep me from doing it Inuyasha! And if I could “take care of myself” I wouldn't need to practice now would I?” Kagome hissed.

“Keh. Well you're not doing it.” Inuyasha crossed his arms and looked away from her as though that statement ended the discussion.

“Oh yes I am! And if you try to stop me, I'll just `s-word' you until you can't walk! It's up to you Inuyasha.” Kagome violently pulled the sleeping bag back up to cover her face, intent on falling back to sleep.

Inuyasha only stared at the miko. Sine when did she get so ballsy? With a snort, he turned and jumped into a nearby tree to ponder the change in Kagome and what could have happened to her while she was away to make her so angry and intent.
