Chapter 20:I think it's a dog thing

"That's the forrest" Inuyasha replied "we're almost there"

"There better be a hotspring some where over there" Kiri mummbled

"Yeah I desperatly need a bath" Kagome was now awake with the rest of the group.

"Feel up to a run little brother?" Sesshouamru questioned

"What you mean a race?" Inuyasha asked

"You can call it that" Sesshoumaru replied smoothly

"Your on" Inuyasha yelled and they both took off still carrying the girls. The two brothers ran at an inhuman speed dodging tree branches and jumping over fallen trees and ditches.

Kagome looked over to her right and saw Sesshoumaru running equally to Inuyasha " Faster" she yelled "We can beat them"

Sesshoumaru herd Kagome's yell for Inuyasha to go faster and sped up. Griping Kiri tighter so she wouldn't fall Sesshoumaru jumped over a huge ditch. Soon Sesshoumaru was in the forrest helping Kiri build a fire. Inuyasha arrived a few minutes later to see both Kiri and Sesshoumaru leanning agianst a tree.

"Your late little brother" Sesshoumaru said smirking at Inuyasha

"Feh, I waited for Kilala and the rest" Inuyasha said as the cat walked in carrying the rest of the group.

"What ever you say" Sesshoumaru sighed.

For the rest of the night the group slept. Kagome was curled in Inuyasha's arms as wad Kiri in Sesshoumaru's. Sango and Miroku slept close to the fire while Shippr and Rin curled up sleeping with a transformed Kilala. When they decided to wake up the next day it wasn't untill mid afternoon and they still wanted to sleep. They would have too if three women didn't bugg every one to get up so they could find a lake or a hot spring. Within an hours time a lake was finnaly found.

"Well it's not as good as a hot spring but it works for me" Kagome said.

"I don't care what it is as long as I get a bath" Sango sighed

"Alright us girls are going to take a bath first then you guys can" Kiri announced

"What ever" Inuyasha said as he jumped into a tree

"Come on Rin let's go take a bath" Kiri said as ahe grabbed Rin's hand

"Ok" Rin chirpped

About an hour and a half later the girls came back to a newly built camp and Miroku leaning agianst a tree asleep with Shippo leaning on Miroku also asleep. Inuyasha was in a tree like he usually was sleeping. Right across from Inuyasha in another tree was Sesshoumaru leaning agianst the trunk of the tree for support and his right leg dagling slightly rocking back and forth.

Both Kagome and Kiri were staring up at the two brothers. Leanning over to Kiri Kagome said "Why do they always sleep in trees?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a dog thing" Kiri answered. Shurgging it off the girls let them sleep. "I think theres a stream sdome where around here where we can refill our bottles" Kiri said grabbing her bag and taking her things out "Give me your bottles and I'll fill them up for you" the other girls handed over there bottles. Kiri packed the bottles in her bag and left with Rin.

A few minutes after Kiri and Rin left Sesshoumaru and Miroku were the first to wake. Inuyasha on the other hand was still sound asleep. A sleepy eyed Shippo walked over to Kagome.

"Kagome, I'm hungry"

"Ok Shippo I'll see if I can find some food" Kagome sighed " Maybe I could find some berries or something"

"Inuyasha and I will go hunting" Kagome turned around to look at Sesshouamru.

"Thank you...but the only problem is waking him up" Kagome pointed over to the sleeping form of Inuyasha.

"That is not a problem" Sesshouamru said. Sesshouamru picked up a rocke and threw it at Inuyasha . Hitting him right in the head Inuyasha fell unceresmonly to the ground with a startled yelp.

What the hell was that for?" Inuyasha growled galring at Sesshoumaru's reating form.

"Come, we're going hunting" Sesshoumaru simply stated. Grubbling Inuyasha followed.

Kiri returned to find the camp nearly empty. "Where is every one?"

"Miroku and Shippo went to go get wood, Kagome is at the lake claening some clothes, and Sesshoumaru ans Inuyasha went hunting for food" Sango said.

"Ok...wait you mean Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru both went hunting...together?"

"Yeah" Sango shook her head

"You do know that they don't get along together right?"

"There just going to get food, I highly dout that their going to rip each other's throats out" Sango reasoned.

"I hope so" Kiri said as he helped Rin take the water bottles out of her bag.

"Well the clothes are done" Kagome announced when she entered the camp. Mioku and Shippo came a few minutes later and started a fire. It was almost dark when Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru retuned. They had four rabbits each all skinned.

Kiri took the rabbits from the two "Ok, you boys can go take a bath since you haven't had one yet and we'll start the food" Miroku, Shippo, Sesshoumaru, and Inuyasha all headded to the lake. When they returned the food was cooked and ready to eat. After they ate they went to bed.

For the next two days the group stayed at the campdoing nothing but resting. They would have only stayed for a day but agian the girls kept the group where they were. To say the guys were scared of them was an understatement. They were terrified of them. So to keep from being killed by the girls the guys decided to stay. After the two days of rest the group was back on their way trying to find a village.

Everyone was walking when Kiri landed in front of them "There's a village about three miles up ahead"

"Now we can restock on some supplies" Kagome said.

About an hour and a half later they came to the village. The moment they walked into the villare they were surrounded by the villagers. Kiri herd Sesshoumaru growl so she palced her hand on her arm to stop him. After a moment the crowd made a walk way and the village elder walked over to the group.

"What does a monk, demon exterminator, a miko, two hanyou's, a demon, and a demon and a human child have to do with our village?" the elder asked

"We are wonderes, we tavel from village to village offering our help to those who are in need of exterminating" Miroku said

"Exterminating you say?" the elder asked "in fact we do have a problem, most of our children have been getting sick, we fear it might be a demon"

"We should check it out, i sence a jewel shard near by" Kagome advised

Ok, where are the children?" Inuyasha asked

"This way follow me" The elder led them to a hut where the village kept the children. About ten children were in the hut. Everyone walked into the hut with the excpetion of Kiri and Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru had refused to go inside saying that he couldn't stand there stench. Kiri stayed outside to watch Rin and Shippo, and to make sure that Seshoumaru wouldn't kill anyone who tried to touch him.

Inside the hut Miroku and Kagome found out what was making the children sick. It was a small statue that hused a small weasle demon.

Miroku walked out of the hut to the village elder "There is a small weasle demon living within a statue, It is slowly stealing the souls from the children"

"Oh my is there anything we can do?" The elder asked

"Yes we can get rid of it but we only ask a little fee"

"yes, yes anything"

"We are out of supplies and we only wish to restock it"

"Yes we will give you as much as you need"
