Home for the Holidays

 

Feudal Japan:

 

“Kagome!” Shippo leaped with great force and hugged the miko who had returned with Inuyasha hauling her huge backpack.

 

“Shippo!” She greeted with a returning hug. “I missed you, too!” Kagome had canceled the plans of going to Yumi's party. She missed the others too much and decided to return to the past. Inuyasha didn't complain.

 

“Are you and Inuyasha done bonding now?” He asked.

 

“Yes, Shippo. Don't worry I'm not leaving for a while.” She assured.

 

“Ah! Lady Kagome, Inuyasha!” Miroku approached them with Sango and Kirara close behind him. “I hope everything ran smoothly in your bonding.” This made Kagome blush a little.

 

“Oh,” the monk said. “So you did bond. Do I hear the pitter patter of little feet?” Inuyasha struck him in the head before Sango could.

 

“Pervert! It's not that kind of bonding, you idiot!” the hanyou growled. Miroku laughed nervously and rubbed the huge welt on his head. The hanyou then plops Kagome's large bag on him, practically suffering him.

 

“Ah! Man, this thing is heavier than usual. What's in this?” asked the monk and he climbs out from under the huge yellow cargo. Shippo hopped up on the bag and began to inspect it. He didn't get too far when Kagome pulled him away.

 

“Sorry, Shippo. But what I brought with me is a surprise you'll have to find out in two days,” the miko explained. Shippo whined but didn't argue further.

 

“Why does he have to wait for two days, Kagome?” Sango asked.

 

“Well actually I got a surprise for everyone. It's a traditional holiday in my era to give gifts and that will be in two days. I couldn't go without sharing with you guys my traditions, so I got all of you gifts,” she explained.

 

“But I didn't get you anything!” Shippo exclaimed.

 

“You don't have to. You didn't know about it and plus I have more fun giving presents than receiving them anyways. You don't have to get me anything.”

 

“Oh. Well, ok.” The fox jumped from her hands to Inuyasha's shoulder. “Inuyasha!”

 

“Oi! What do you want, runt?” he huffed.

 

“You smell kind of different. What happened to you?” Shippo asked.

 

“Feh! What do you mean? Nothing happened.” He shot back. Sango curiously approached the hanyou and sniffed in his direction. She gasped in shock.

 

“You took a bath!” she pointed out. She then grabbed one of his hands to examine. “And your claws are clean!” Inuyasha immediately swiped his hand away from the warrior. She turned to the miko. “Kagome, how did you do it?!”

 

Sango, Miroku, and Shippo all leaped back to admire the sight.

 

“Spick and span! Well done, Miss Kagome!” Miroku said. Kagome shined on a grin and nodded in thanks to the compliment.

 

“Feh! It's not like I had a choice or nothin'! And it was a one time thing so don't get use to it!” Inuyasha scowled before pouncing off into a tree. Sango and Kagome giggled.

 

“So he liked it that much huh?” Sango asked.

 

“You have no idea,” Kagome replied. Everyone joined the laughter only to be leered at from a tall oak.

 

----------------------

 

“I was getting a little anxious when you were gone,” Sango sighed as she rested her upper body against a rock while her lower soaked in the water. “I didn't know how much longer I could stand that monk without having to clobber him every day.” Kagome giggled at her comment. She peered up at the night sky.

 

“Sorry it took a while,” Kagome said. “What have you guys been doing when we were gone?”

 

“Well, we just try to pass the time. We even made a bet once. It was kind of stupid really.”

 

“Who won?”

 

“No one did. We split up our winnings. It was really just between me and Miroku.” This made Kagome lean in towards her in interest.

 

“What was the bet?” she asked. Sango blushed a little and sighed.

 

“Well it was a battle between our fighting skills. If he lost then he would refrain from groping me for the rest of our journey. And if he won…”

 

“Go on!” the miko giggled out.

 

“We get married before our journey ends.”

 

“…Wow.”

 

****

 

Miroku peered through the branches trying to get a glimpse of the bathing girls. He sighed in frustration. “Sango is pressed up against a rock. I can't see a thing.” He told himself.

 

“Oi. Monk, what are you doing?” Inuyasha asked as he approached the peeping tom. Miroku looked back at him. He laughed nervously.

 

“Oh it's you, Inuyasha. I'm just merely keeping watch to protect the girls from danger.”

 

“Yeah right. The only protection they need is from you.”

 

“Don't you mean `us'?”

 

“What? What are you blabbing about?”

 

“Come on, Inuyasha. You came to look at Lady Kagome didn't you?” The monk grinned.

 

“Feh! Don't be ridiculous!” He huffed.

 

“Then what are you doing here?”

 

“…I was just… merely keeping watch.”

 

-----

 

Inuyasha and Miroku crouched down, peering through the bushes.

 

“If you look at Kagome I'll tear your eyes out.” Inuyasha warned.

 

“Alright, alright. Don't have to be violent here. This is a male bonding moment.”

 

“Humph.” Inuyasha smirked.

 

****

 

“Well, that's certainly interesting!” Kagome laughed out.

 

“Speaking of interesting. How did you get Inuyasha to take a bath?” Sango asked.

 

“Actually, he took two.”

 

Sango gasped. “No way! How?!”

 

“Well, I kind of threatened him the first time but he just hopped in with me the second time.” Sango's eyes widened.

 

“You took a bath together?!” Kagome blushed.

 

“We had towels on! And his fell off only by accident!” the miko shot out. Following with what she just said made her blush darken. Sango busted out laughing holding her stomach. “Oh, don't say anything! I promised him that I wouldn't tell!” Kagome paused.

 

“Shh!” She got up and slapped her hand over Sango's mouth silencing her. She looked around carefully at in the dark surroundings. Sango pulled her hand away from her mouth.

 

“What is it?” Sango asked her. Kagome huffed in frustration as she climbed out of the water.

 

“I'll be right back.”

 

****

 

Inuyasha stiffened as he watched Kagome retreat from the spring and headed in his direction.

 

“Miroku, I think we should get- “ Inuyasha peered over to the empty spot next to him. `He scrammed! That traitor!' he growled.

 

“Inuyasha! Just what do you think you are doing? Pervert! Sit!” He helplessly slammed in the dirt. She stood over him flaming mad and naked.

 

“How did you know I was here?” he growled out and slowly pried himself off the ground.

 

“You're demonic aura. I wasn't positive until I saw your eyes shine in the moonlight. Just like a dog!” He peered up at her and stared. Apparently, Kagome forgot she was still naked in front of him. His demon screamed at him to grab her.

 

“I don't want to catch you peeping at us again. You got that?” He got up and gave her a glare.

 

“You told her about the spa! I heard you yapping!” He shouted at her trying not to look at her breasts.

 

“Egh!” She flushed up a bit. “Uh… Call it even?” She held out her hand.

 

“Deal!” He roughly shook it to confirm the compromise then leapt away into the darkness. Kagome sighed in relief. She then just realized that she carried out that whole conversation naked in front of him.

 

She returned to spring with Sango blushing for the rest of the bath.
