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

 

On the road again seemed to be the theme song of the day. The gang was heading out to the north after another rumor of a village raiding demon that might possess a jewel shard. Kagome had just come back from her side of the well after taking what she called an exam. To Kagome it was important but everyone didn't see it that way. Well maybe not everyone being a certain hanyou.

FEH! What's so important about these' XHAMS', and what can be more important than finding the jewel shards. I hate when she goes to her world. Aint like I miss the wench much but she has a job to do here and she keeps running off to her world. Next time I'm not gonna give in so easily no matter how many sits I get!!

Long, hot and absolutely miserable could describe the day so far and the couple bringing in the rear wasn't making it any better.

<SLAP>

“Hentaiiiiii”, was the screech heard for miles.

“Sango my love, my flower, the mother of my fut…..”

“Keep your hands to yourself you prevent!” vented the demon slayer before Miroku could get an another word in.

The tajiya looked murderous. Fists clenched, uneven breathing, but most of all truly hurt. [Author ID1: at Sat Apr 17 20:38:00 2010 ]She didn't know what to do. Sango was at her wits end. The bad part about it was that Miroku looked --> thoroughly[Author:YUN] [Author:YUN] [Author:YUN] [Author:YUN] confused. I mean sure he touched her rear end, but that was an hourly occurrence. No need to have that hurt look in her eyes over. Where was this hostility really coming from? It couldn't be from the events earlier in the day?! He was doing his regular rounds in the village, reading palm, harmless flirting the usual. None of the village girls where anything special to look at. Surely that wasn't enough to stir her ire.and casually flirting [Author ID1: at Sat Apr 17 20:40:00 2010 ]

“I've had enough of your perverted ways and your wandering hands, maybe I should reconsider marrying you and bearing your children. After what happened in the village today I've just about had enough.”

Before leaving Kaede's village the inu crew had to locate the monk. Everyone was packed and ready to go but he was nowhere to be found. Sango tried to be fair to him and not think the worst but when she heard fits of feminine giggles and saw a group of women crowded around twenty feet away she knew she got her hopes up. Coming closer you could see Miroku in the center of it all with one girls palm in his hand and others just waiting their turn.

 

I don't know whats worse, the looks on the giggling girls faces as they blush and bat their eyes or Miroku's lecherous face soaking up all the attention.

“But Sango you misunderstand. I was just giving the girls palm readings and blessings, enothing more.” He tried to say that with as much sincerity as possible, but one look at Sango told him it was in vain.

“Oh really, so that wasn't your hand caressing that young girls bottom or your voice saying that she was going to romanced by a man of the cloth?!”

They were in the middle of the path having a lovers spat and Inuyasha wasn't having it. It was mid day and they hardly covered enough ground as far as he was concerned. The weather was absolutely unbearable not to mention Kagome was wearing that damn short ass uniform that made his hormones hypersensitive. He was either going to die of heat stroke or from all the sits Kagome was going to give him for ogling her ass. To top it off shippou was being his usual pain in the ass self complaining about everything. What more could go wrong?

“Inuyasha can we take a break? My feet are killing me and the suns absolutely unbearable! I cant walk too much longer without a break and besides the others might appreciate it too. Sango looks like she could use it too. I don't know how much more of their bickering I can take!”

“FEH!”

“Well…” the miko stated hopefully, batting her eyelashes prettily.

If this doesn't work I might have to play faint or something to get him to stop. Lord knows I'm about to…

“Fine we can stop, just stop looking at me with those eyes you look like a gaping fish.”

“Baka!”

“Wench!”

“Sit boy!”

` Ughhh' “Did you have to do that?” Fumed the hanyou from his crater in the ground.

“I'll stop doing it when you stop calling me a wench dogboy!” Before he could retort the miko yelled at the bickering couple to halt for a break. It was only midday and already fights were erupting.

Could he not call me a wench ughh!!! I mean is Kagome really that hard to say. I know he probably never called Kikyou a wench or a bitch. Nevermind yell at her in the slightest. Why cant I get that same respect. I mean we spend all our time together and know all each others secrets. Well…….maybe not all but enough and fight alongside each other I thought that would have gotten me the courtesy of using my first name damnit!!! Not enough I guess because I'll always be just the shard detector and nothing more. Why did I have to fall in love with the idiot?!

Back out on the road again and you can feel the strain in the air. Lunch done and over with and now no one is talking. The air is slashed with tension. Sango's mad, Miroku's straight faced and Inuyasha and Kagome are both in their own melancholy thoughts. Shippou is looking from one adult to the other thoroughly confused.

Adults, go figure. They're always moody about something. If this is how it always is I don't want to ever grow up!

The rest of the day was carried on in silence. No one really speaking to anyone. It was still sweltering and everyone was miserable. Finally nightfall arrived without too much fuss and it was time to make camp.

I wonder was stick climbed up Kagomes ass? She hasn't said two words all day since our fight. Is she mad at me or something. I didn't do anything. FEF!! Serves her right to be mad about nothing. Spending all that time on the other side of the well when we could be hunting down Naraku or collecting shards. `But you know u care! You more than care whats going on in that head of hers.' Maybe I'll talk to her tomorrow once she's calmed down a bit. `WUSS'!

Everyone was going about their nightly rituals for bed. The group had passed by a stream about five minutes back. With the day like they had it was a blessing for Kagome to get a nice scrub in a cool stream before bed. Maybe she could wash away some of her melancholy thoughts while she was at it. Highly unlikely but still worth a try.

Announcing her departure and ill need for a bath she took to the woods with her supplies in tow. Arriving she stripped out of her sweaty clothes and slipped into the stream. The cool water was a complete contrast to her skin. Tilting her head back and looking at the moon she gave herself some time to just sit and soak. The day was long and hot she needed this. Listening to the creatures of the surrounding forest she was finally at peace.

 

. This place fills more like home. I spend most of my time here and besides my family my dearest friends are here. Will Inuyasha make the choice for me? Will he become a full fledged demon, join Kikyou in Ahhhh! This is nice. Peace and quiet. Alone with my thoughts. No shippou bouncing on my shoulders, no arguing in the background and no Inuyasha yelling to get a move on. Just me and the stars.

I always loved it here. There's no city lights blocking the sky,pollution in the air or school to worry about. Everything's so untouched, unscathed by mankind, simple. I wish I could stay here forever but still be able to visit my family on occasion. But that will never happen. Once the jewel is complete and Naraku defeated I'll either be sent back to my time by the jewels choice or Inuyashas. When it's all said and done I might not have a place in my world either. All the school I've missed is taking its toll and my friends are becoming strangershell or use the jewel to bring her back? Lots of questions no answers.

Well It's about time I got out and headed back to camp. No sense in worrying over the future when its still a ways away. Maybe I should just talk to Inuyasha and get some answers. `Easy Girl, getting a straight answer outta him is not going to happen.' Maybe I don't wanna really know what he's going to do once the quest is finished. Especially if it has something to with Kikyou.

 

After thirty minutes in the stream just thinking she finally started to wash. There was no way that she wasn't going to take this chance and wash herself properly, wrinkled or not. Rinsing her hair she climbed out. There was a little breeze and it felt nice on her cool naked skin. Toweling dry and dressing in sleepwear she headed for camp. On arrival everyone appeared to be sleeping. Sango and Miroku were both deep in slumber with the slayer using kirara as a pillow. Shippou was curled up in Kagomes bedroll down for the count. Looking up you could see crimson and silver in the high branches of a nearby tree. Settling down on her sleep roll the miko faced the stars.

I wonder if Inuyashas asleep. Probably not. `I don't need as much sleep as weak humans. FEH!' Sometimes I wonder if he truly thinks that humans are as weak as he says we are. Ooooh a shooting star! I wish…………………… Huh no need to. I can`t have what I want anyway.

High up in a nearby tree our favorite hanyou is looking at the stars too.

Shooting stars. Kagome loves stars. I wonder what she'll do once this quest is over. Hell what will I do? Do I really want to go to hell with Kikyou? Not too long ago I wouldn't have ever doubted myself. Now I'm not so sure. What do I really want when all of this is over? But more importantly what are these feelings I keep having whenever I'm around Kagome. It's like I can't breathe when she's not there. When she is around I tingle all over and my chest heats up! Is it love? Even if it is I still have Kikyou. I still care a great deal for her too! That's it! My minds set. I can't and will not abandon Kikyou. I'll just ignore my feelings for Kagome and maybe they'll go away. Maybe one day……………………….
