Chapter 3

 

 

Already 2 weeks had passed and as promised every night Jade set a barrier around the hot springs while they bathed. What Miroku didn't know however was that even though he could not see or hear anything inside the barrier the girls were completely aware of him trying to find a way in and it was very amusing to watch him grow more and more frustrated.

 

It had been a long day and they were dirty and wanted nothing more than to find a place to relax. Miroku watched the girls gather their bathing supplies and groaned. It was driving him mad not catching a glimpse of their wet bodies glowing in the moonlight for him to see. They were so close, but was denied the sight he longed to see. Jade had a lot on her mind today and hopefully he could find a weak spot in the barrier she put up nightly.

 

The girls started their nightly ritual of soaking in the warm waters and cleansing themselves. Kagome had noticed that Sango had been watching her as of late and turned curious eyes to her. "Sango, are you alright?"

 

"Yes, Kagome I'm fine. I guess I still haven't quite gotten over how much you've changed. You were beautiful before you left, but now your gorgeous. I can't help but notice the way Inuyasha looks at you even more now than he did before. You've also gotten a lot stronger and it's amazing how much power you've gained in such a short time."

 

"For you it's been a short time, but for me it's been a very long and hard journey filled with obstacles and set backs. If it weren't for Jade's teachings I'd be lost and never gained the control that I needed. As far as Inuyasha goes I've accepted that I will never be anything, but a shard detector in his eyes. It is time that I move on and find someone that will see me as I am and not who they think I am."

 

"Who he thinks you are?"asked Sango.

 

"I found out from Jade while training that I am not Kikyo's reincarnation, but Midoriko's. Please do not tell Inuyasha though. He wouldn't believe it anyway and I want tell him when the time is right."

 

"I promise Kagome I won't say anything to him."

 

The two women talked a little more when they heard Jade softly chuckling and turned around to see what had amused her so. There was a hand trying to feel for a weak spot in the barrier and she laughed realizing that Miroku was at it again. Jade couldn't help the sly smile that graced her features as she looked at the other girls. Kagome knew that look and couldn't help, but feel sorry for the monk. That look told of pure mischief and knew her sister had an idea and from the looks she was receiving it was a good one.

 

"The lecher seems to think that he can find a weak spot in my barrier. What do you say we let him in and teach him a lesson he won't soon forget?" She rose from the waters and a gown of silver silk that reached her ankles appeared. It was held on her shoulders by thin straps leaving the rest bare with sleeves that started high on her arm and fell loosely to her fingers and slits on both sides to her mid thigh for easy movement.

 

Sango couldn't believe the exquisite sight this woman made and was reminded of a goddess. She knew the woman held power, but wasn't sure how much. She then noticed that Kagome was exiting the hot spring as well and as before a silk gown appeared on her but in a light blue to match her eyes. Her gown was much the same as Jades with the slits on the sides except the shoulders were covered and had full sleeves and y a modest neckline. The gowns of both women formed to show off every curve of their bodies and she was a little envious. She too exited the spring to find her clothing when a beautiful pink silk gown appeared on her body. Like her friend there were slits on the sides,but only to her knees and the neckline was modest as well. The feel of the gown on her body was incredible. She looked at Jade in confusion.

 

"It is a gift Sango, from Kagome and I both. You have been a valued friend and sister to Kagome. The gown is enchanted to never tear, stain or fade," said Jade.

 

"I can't possibly accept this it's to beautiful,said Sango.

 

"I insist. Kagome regards you as a sister and therefore I will also protect you as family. It is also enchanted to protect you while you sleep. Besides I specially made it for you. It would be rude not to accept this gift."

 

"Thank you Jade."

 

"Now that's settled I believe a certain monk needs a lesson in humility," Jade said with a devious grin.

 

Miroku didn't know what was in store for him if he did he would have ran for his sanity. He couldn't believe he still couldn't find a weak spot in the barrier. He had thought she was kidding and finding a weak spot was proving impossible and was about to give up again. There a foot in front of him was a spot that he could partially see through and was absolutely giddy with delight. "I'll finally get to see the beautiful bodies of the ladies." As he watched he noticed he could push the area a little and get through the small spot, just a little more and he'd be through. When he reached the other side he stumbled a little making a few pebbles come loose and knew he was caught by the gasps from the women. Unfortunately it wasn't the ladies he had been looking for, in front of him were 3 elderly and homely woman staring at him. "I'm sorry ladies I didn't mean to intrude on your bath please excuse me." He turned to leave when he felt a hand on his ankle and looked down. "Please monk it's been a long time since we were spied apon and it'd please us greatly to have you bathe with us. Maybe we could help you relax. You are very handsome and we wouldn't mind." Needless to say he was shocked they were trying to seduce him. "I'm very sorry I need to find my other companions, but thank you." Again he turned to leave, but they weren't letting go. "I'm sure they can wait come in we insist and tried to pull him into the hot springs." Now it was time for him to get frantic. "I don't want to be with you I was looking for 3 beautiful ladies not old woman, let me go." Trying to shake them off as fast as he could he turned from the hot spring with a look of a trapped animal and bolted as fast as possible with a look of sure terror. As he ran outrageous laughter could be heard.

 

The girls were laughing so hard they had to sit down. Sango looked at Jade,"did you see the way he ran? I never thought I'd see that. I didn't know you could do illusions it was incredible."

 

Kagome had tears she was laughing so hard. "I knew you had a mean streak Jade, but that was absolutely priceless. What I wouldn't give to have had a video camera."

 

"Well either way it'll make him think twice about spying on us and maybe keep him out of our hair for a little while anyway. Besides as many times as he's been caught I'd say he deserved it and possibly more."

 

"I like you already Jade it'll be fun to have you around," laughed Sango.

 

"Come on ladies I'd love to see if he's still shaking,"said Jade. They all burst into another round of laughter and headed for camp.
