Chapter 15

 

He couldn't take his eyes off of her. She was everything he ever wanted so why hadn't he seen it earlier. There was always an attraction to her ever since the first time he had seen her, but when Kikyo was brought back it just complicated everything. Now he knew who he wanted and was going to make sure she knew it too. Jade would be back in a few days so maybe they could stay here and he could just spend time with her. It would be light soon he realized and silently leapt from his resting spot and started to leave when a whisper stopped him.

 

"Where are you going Inuyasha?" asked Shippo softly so he wouldn't wake anyone.

 

He smirked at the kit, "I'm going to hunt do you wanna come?" He could see the excitement in his eyes at the thought of coming along and chuckled lightly.

 

"I would love to come and I can help catch something too." He happily untangled himself from his mother's embrace to perch himself on the hanyou's shoulder.

 

Kagome woke up to find Shippo missing and was looking around to find Inuyasha gone as well. She started rolling up her sleeping bag expecting to leave after breakfast. Her other companions were starting to stir as well and she noticed that Miroku was inching closer to Sango. She grinned, 'he's going to get it.' Then she noticed that even in sleep Sango was growling at the lecher to keep his hands to himself and had her hand tightening on her boomerang. Kagome couldn't stop chuckling at the picture they made. Then it happened, he made contact and was getting his morning Sango grope and in retaliation he was immediately knocked unconscious by a furious demon slayer threatening to kill him.

 

Sango was jolted from sleep once again with the familiar feeling of a hand rubbing her ass. She immediately grabbed her hirakotsu and knocked him unconscious. "Stupid lecher, I really don't know why I let him live. I should just cut that hand off completely. It would save me a lot of trouble and groping. Sango was still grumbling to herself and finally noticed that Kagome was laughing at her. "What are you laughing at?"

 

Kagome looked up to see the furious slayer had turned her attentions on her and choked back her laughter,"nothing at all Sango." Kagome watched her friend as she still grumbled while getting the camp fire going to cook breakfast.

 

Sango could still feel the laughter coming from her friend in waves. "I really wish he'd grope you instead of me every morning. He can't say he's cursed because Jade removed it and he's still a lecher." She looked up when she heard Kagome chuckling and noticed the mischief in her eyes as well. "Ok, what are you thinking about." Kagome came and whispered in her ear as she listened and her smile grew. They were both giggling when Miroku woke up and noticed the looks in their eyes.

 

"What's going on ladies,"he asked.

 

"Oh, nothing you need to worry about Miroku," said Kagome.

 

"Ok, if you say so." The look in their eyes however, warned him to be careful. They had something going on and he knew it. Just then Inuyasha and Shippo returned with a few rabbits.

 

"Hey mom," greeted Shippo. "I'm glad your awake look at the rabbits we caught and I caught two of them."

 

"That's great Shippo," Kagome said as she looked at her son with pride. She looked at Inuyasha who was also holding a few rabbits as well and gave him a heart warming smile. "Thank you, Inuyasha for letting him hunt with you."

 

"Feh, someone has to teach the runt so I might as well," he blushed at her praise and quickly hid it.

 

Kagome stood with her water bottles getting ready to go fill them for the day. As she passed Inuyasha she stopped, "thank you Inuyasha for teaching Shippo what I can't." She stood on her toes and kissed his cheek before leaving a red hanyou to complete her morning task.

 

He couldn't believe it Kagome kissed him, sure she had once before at Kaguya's castle,but that was different. The others were staring at him with grins on their faces which only further embarrassed him. Inuyasha tossed the rabbits to Sango and Miroku, who had a lecherous grin on his face, before walking in the direction that Kagome had headed. He found her bending over filling the water bottles and couldn't help, but notice the position she was in as his blood rushed to his loins.

 

Kagome knew he was there and was surprised to sense his arousal as well. She looked behind her to see longing and desire in his eyes for a brief moment before he covered it up. "Is something wrong Inuyasha?"

 

"No, we're going to stay here for a few days to wait for Jade. That way the wench won't have to look for us." He turned to leave and felt Kagome join him. He was racking his brain trying to think of a way to spend time with her when he got an idea. "Will you spar with me tonight?" he asked without looking at her.

 

"Yes, I will."

 

While Inuyasha was thinking of ways to get Kagome alone Jade was having problems of her own. She was sitting at a large desk made of cherry wood with a white marble top that was currently stacked with letters and paperwork. She stood to stretch out her muscles that were starting to ache after sitting for so long. She wore an ankle length light green silk dress that had a modest neck line with tight sleeves only coming to above her elbows. The bodice was form fitting with it flaring out slightly at the hip. On each side and in the front and back were slits for easy movement. Jade looked out of her window into the beautiful gardens wishing she had time for a stroll, but knew there was to much to do. She looked around her office that had shelves from floor to ceiling filled with books and scrolls of all sorts. There were skins on the floor under her desk to help keep the cold away. There were many windows to let in light as well as lanterns placed around the room for light at night. There was a large fireplace to keep warm in the winter, but was rarely lit because it seldom ever got cold. She turned back to her desk ready to take on another stack when someone came in. "Hello, Hitomi. What can I do for you?"

 

She smiled at her mistress. "I brought you some tea milady."

 

"Thank you very much Hitomi. You always seem to know what I need even before I do." She looked at the young woman who had waist length powder blue hair with navy streaks, deep blue eyes with silver flecks and a gentle face. She wore a knee length silver dress with no sleeves and a low back. Behind her were a pair of wings that were a deep blue matching her eyes with silver and powder blue feathers and were fifteen feet tip to tip when fully opened. She was holdinga tray with tea and fresh fruit.

 

"It's no trouble milady. You've been at your desk all morning." She watched as Jade drank her tea for a moment. "When will you and Lady Kagome be coming home to stay?"

 

"I'll be coming home soon, but if things go well then Kagome will be staying with the Western Prince."

 

Hitomi's eyes went wide,"Lord Sesshomaru?"

 

"No, Lord Inuyasha the younger of the brothers."

 

Hitomi was giggling. "Lord Inuyasha is so cute and his ears are adorable I'm sure Lady Kagome could definately keep him in line." She looked at Jade with pure mischief. "What of Lord Sesshomaru have you met him yet?"

 

"Yes, I have," she said not opening her eyes.

 

"Is he as handsome as he looks through the realm mirrors?"

 

Jade looked at her then with curiosity. "Yes, he's very handsome as well as arrogant and believes that no other that walks upon the earth is as worthy or powerful as he."

 

"Well, it sounds like you'll be taking another arrogant Lord down a few notches or should I say that you already have." Hitomi was chuckling.

 

"Why do I get the feeling you've been spying on me Hitomi? Why have you been looking through the realm mirrors? They are only supposed to be used to make sure the realm of the living and dead are in balance and safe."

 

 

She was out right laughing now. "I couldn't help but check up on my favorite ladies. Besides I don't need the realm mirrors to know how much you hate arrogant, holier than thou Lords. I've seen you knock them off their pedestals enough to know it wouldn't take long to rub you the wrong way."

 

Jade was chuckling now too, "you know me to well Hitomi."

 

Hitomi was still smiling. "I'll let you get back to your work now." She turned to levae and stopped at the door looking over her shoulder. "I've seen the way Lord Sesshomaru looks at you and I can honestly say he thinks about you quite alot as well. I don't think he intends to let you get away from him milady."

 

Jade looked at her and smiled, but said nothing returning to her work.
