Chapter Three:

After a moment he spoke, "We should return to my castle soon. If we leave now we might arrive by dusk. gather your things." He turned and walked back into th woods where he most likely left Rin and Jaken to wait for him.

Kagome sighed, 'Arrogant bastard.' "Sango! Miroku! We're leaving now!" Kagome picked up her yellow backpack and gathered Shippou in her arms as the group walked the way Sesshoumaru had went. Sly waved at Inuyasha as he passed him and the hanyou began to levitate after him. It was quite a creepy sight to see.

Sure enough when they found him again in a clearing he was standing by Ah-Un the two headed dragon with Rin and Jaken. Rin was chatting happily away and petting Ah's head.. When she noticed the approaching group she squealed and ran over to Kagome.

"Kagome-neechan!" Kagome bent down and opened her arms and the little girl flew into them almost knocking her back. Kagome laughed and hugged her. "Look at all the pretty flowers Rin found!" She looked to where the girl was pointing and found a wreath of flowers upon a grumbling Jakens head, one around his staff, another caught on his foot, and one around each of the dragons neck. Rin had worn one as well but it had fallen off in her haste to get to Kagome. The older girl's eyes widened and she couldn't stop the laugh that bubbled from her throat. The sight of Jaken was just two halarious.

The toad seemed to take notice of them at that time and squaked. "Ah! Filthy humans! Be gone with thee!" He waved his staff at them and Kagome scowled.

"Stupid toad." She took his staff and bonked him on the head with it before dropping it to the ground as if she had touched something vile.

Sango and Miroku laughed and Kirara jumped from Sango's arms. She walked up to Rin and rubbed against her leg, purring. Rin squealed in delight and picked the fire cat up and into her arms, petting her.

Sesshoumaru sighed, quickly becoming impatient. "We need to leave now." He watched as Rin put the cute furball down and made her way over to him where he picked her up. Ah-Un was already carrying an unconcious Inuyasha. Kirara transformed and Sango, Miroku, Kagome, and Shippou all climbed on. Jaken hurridly climbed on Ah-Un and they were off, Sesshoumaru leading the way with Sly right by his side. They seemed to be tlaking about something and every now and then they would glance back at the group, Sly more than Sesshoumaru. Kagome was quickly becoming irritated by it but Sango and Miroku seemed to not being paying any attention to the two as they were once again in their own little world, talking.

"Kagome?" Kagome looked down to her lap, where Shippou was curled up. "I'm kinda cold." Kagome notice it was getting chilly and the wind flying at them wasn't helping. She wrapped her arms around him tightly and leaned forward a bit, trying to shield him from the wind.

"That better Shippou?" The kit smiled at her and nodded, snuggling closer to her and falling asleep. It wouldn't be long before Kagome would have to find more practicle garments. This school uniform of hers just wasn't cutting it.

It had been an hour and the sun was begining to set. Kirara, not use to carrying so many people, was quickly becoming tired. 'We need to rest a bit. Kirara can't keep carrying all of us and its getting colder.' Kagome was just about to call out to their two new companions when Sly turned to look at her. He winked and said something to Sesshoumaru who glanced back at her annoyed. He started to descend and landed by a nice little cave. He walked in witout saying a word with Ah-Un following him. Sango and Miroku jumped off Kirara and Kagome sat there stuned for a moment.

when she got off the firecat she walked over and frowned at Sly who blinked innocently back up at her. "Are you forever tuned into my mind or something?"

Sly grinned at her, "No. But I can feel your emotions and knew you were irritated so I poked in to see what was bothering you. Oh and by the way, there should be a spring a little off the path that way." He pointed over his shoulder and Kagome huffed in annoyence. As she was about to walk off he called out to her, "And you really should get more suitable clothes. Not that I don't enjoy the veiw but there will be no view left if you freeze to death, darling." Kagome blushed ten shades of red at this and turned her back to him. She walked over to Sango leaving Sly grinning like a fool behind her.

"I thought you had more control than to lust over a human, Dainichi." Sesshoumaru said from his resting place.

"I have control, I just like to tease her. She's a very sweet girl and very fun to mess with. Besides, no harm in being honest. The view is nice." Sly wiggled his eyebrows to which Sesshouamru made a disgusted face.

"You would rut with a human girl. She's not even a woman yet." Sesshoumaru scoffed at him and closed his eyes.

"You don't use your eyes Sesshoumaru. Her outfit may be odd and revealing but it hides many curves you have yet to notice, friend."

"And how would you know this?" Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow at his old friend.

"She fell asleep against me one night." Sly shrugged and then smirked evoly. his eyes turned a few shades darker as the wheels began turning in his head. "You know, I think I'll go pick her up some clothing. It will be my good deed for the year." He winked at the yougner demon, "Besides clothes don't have to show skin to be revealing. I'll get you to realize her curves yet! Your too proud."

Sly laughed when Sesshoumaru scoffed. "You think after 200 years you would have matured a bit."

But Sly had already left. He headed south a bit to where he knew there was a village and noticed Miroku and Shippou collecting firewood in the forest.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You like him, don't you Kagome?" Sango asked while scrubbing her arms.

"Who?" Kagome looked over to her confused.

"Sly."

Kagomes eyes widened and she sputtered, "Of course not! He's just another Miroku and besides! We're just friends."

Kagome ducked beneath the water, rinsing her hair out. When she surfaced again she was met with a very amused Sango.

"I'm not stupid, Kagome. Who is it that you feel asleep against? Who is it that makes you blush so much? Who is it that I heard is 'forever tapped into your mind'? And who, Kagome, is it that was complimenting you earlier? Don't think I didn't hear that little 'thing' between you two when we entered the cave." Sango laughed and Kagome knew her face was going to permenatly be red. Her mouth however remained closed as she had no response to that. "That's what I thought."

"But-" Kagome tried lamely to come up with something but her mind failed her.

"Uh uh Kagome. You like him. I think hes cute. A lot better than Inuyasha and besides. He obviously likes you too weather it is as a friend or something more."

Kagome huffed, giving up. This was all because of that stupid spell Sly put on her and Miroku to admit their feelings to each other. Well it backfired! Sango has not only been more observant that she gave the girl credit for but shes being perfectly honest and more bold than she was before! Sango got out and dried off, slipping into her inner kimono quickly as the cold air touched her skin. Kagome sighed as she too got out and wrapped a towle around her body, drying off.

"Sorry to intrude but-" Sly was cut off as a boomarang came rushing at his head. He ducked just in time and turned swiftly to catch the thing as it came back. He grinned at Sango and handed it back to her, "I do believe this is yours." He turned back to a blushing Kagome and continued, "Here. I brought you some clothes. They should be warmer than the others you wear." He handed her a deep blue bundle and sprinted off again.

"He's up to something." Kagome said as Sango nodded in agreement. Kagome unfolded the kimono and gasped. It was a set of deep blue baggy pants and a very tight looked dress with slits up to the waist. The dress was a shade lighter than the pants and had a darker sash to tie around the waist. The neckline was high but open. Even with the very top button done there was still a bit of clevage showing off. It had no sleeves but there was a dark, almost black cloak there too. Kagome put the outfit on and marveld at how snug it fit. It showed off all of her curves, accentuating her hips, waist line, and breast. Sango gasped when she finally put it all on and turned around for her.

"Wow." Sango breathed. It was a very gorgeous fighting kimono. Kagome giggled as she drapped the cloak over her shoulders and pulled the hood over her head. The two girls smiled and made their way back to camp. When they got their they saw a fire getting started and Sesshoumaru and Sly debating about something from where they sat. They hushed as the girls entered.

Sango went to help get the fire going while Kagome miled and walked over to Sly. She through her arms around him in a hug. "Thank you! I love it and it fits so well and its so comfortable and warm!" Kagome smiled as she released him and took her cloak off. She saw Sesshoumarus eyes widened and put that little bit of information away for later. She set her cloak down near her bag and began to take out her sleeping bag and some blankets. Sango came over and grabbed the ramen from her and Miroku grabbed some blankets to start making the beds for himsef and Sango.

"You know Sango, since it is especially cold tonight we should sleep closer so we can share our body heat. Kagome doesn't have that many blankets and we mgiht freeze to death." Sango looked at him with a raised eyebrow. After a moment she shrugged and said "ok." The monks jaw fell open. He had not expected that! However he was not letting this golden opportunity pass him by. Grining like a fool he set out only one bedding.

Kagome went over to Sango to help prepare the food. It wasn't very long untill it was ready and she scopped some into six different bowls. She handed one to Shippou who egearly took it and gulped it down, and one to Sly and Sesshoumaru. Sly took it with a confused face while Sessoumaru turned his nose up at it.

"What is this?" Sly asked her while poking and sniffinf at it.

She huffed, "It's food. Don't worry it's really good. Try it." Sly took a bite and found it was indeed good. He smiled and continued to eat.

Kagome grinend and turned to Sesshoumaru who still was accepting his. She pushed the bowl at him and he narowed his eyes at her. "Oh some on! Your acting like a child. Just take it. You'll like it I promise."

"And if I don't?" He raised an eyebrow.

Kagome shrugged and rolled her eyes, "If you don't then you don't have to eat it." She gave him a pout and he sighed before taking the bowl. She had looked startling erotic like that. She was sitting in front of him with her legs tucked behind her on either side, her hair falling into her face as she had pouted her full pink lips at him. He took the bowl if only to distract himself as he glared at a grinning Sly.

"I win!" Kagome said as she smiled brightly at them and got up to go eat her own bowl.

Sly whispered under his breath knowing only Sesshoumaru would hear him, "Shes not the only one who won. I saw that look you gave her. Finally starting to notice the little vixen, eh?" Sesshoumaru growled low in his throat and Sly laughed at him.

Kagome sat on her sleeping bag, legs crossed as she finished her dinner. She sat her bowl aside and yawned, stretching her back, her arms stretching above her head. The two lords held back a groan at the image she presented. She climbed into her sleeping bag and opened her arms to which Shippou happily jumped in to. He grinned and stuck his tongue out at the two lords and snuggled closer as Kagome relaxe and drifted off to sleep.

The two surprised lords looked from each other to the kit and Sly chuckled under his breath. "Smart kit. I think he's on to us."

Sesshoumaru snorted, "He's on to you. There is no us in this matter."

"Ah! So it's a 'matter' now is it?" Sly continued to chuckle as he heard the threatening growl and drifted into a light slumber.
