InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Rox's Livejournal Drabbles ❯ Kagome's Secret Book ( Chapter 52 )

The day he got caught being a snoop started as just another day for all of the InuTachi. The damned demon with the shard in it had escaped, but not after wounding Kagome, Sango and Shippo. The worst off was Sango, and InuYasha had headed after the fleeing but also wounded demon, leaving Miroku to try and find Kagome's backpack with the medical supplies. There were no life threatening injuries, but the monk was unharmed and volunteered for the job.

After a quick search, Miroku found the yellow, over-stuffed thing on the trail behind them and opened it up. Somewhere in here was her first aid kit. Reaching in, he found a bag of some sort, and pulled it out to search underneath it. It had a drawstring, but was not closed very well. Unintentionally getting a glimpse of what was in it, he was intrigued. There were some very silky bits of garments, and his mind raced with the thought of Kagome wearing them. But why was there a book being hidden with such things? Reaching in, he pulled it out and the dust jacket which said “Algebra,” fell off. The title of the actual book, made the monks cheeks burn and his eyes sparkle with excitement…

It read, “The Joy of…”

“AHEM!”

Startled, Miroku dropped the book and looked behind him sheepishly. InuYasha stood there, arms crossed giving him a stern look. The monk tried to cover up what he was doing, but realized it was too late.

“What are you doing looking through a book when you should be finding the first aid kit?” InuYasha said.

Miroku had no time to answer him, Kagome had appeared supporting Sango, and carrying Kirara and Shippo. Miroku was caught red handed. Damn, he really wanted to read that book too! What in the world was Kagome doing with a book like that?

“Let me help you Miroku,” Kagome said.

The miko gave Sango, Shippo and Kirara to InuYasha, and crouched next to Miroku. The monk tried to push the book aside.

“AHEM! Forget the book you baka houshi…” InuYasha said.

“Oh, you were looking at my school books?” Kagome said innocently.

Silently Miroku handed Kagome the book. As she took it in her hand, her face turned bright red. Her eyes met Miroku's and he grinned.

“Ahem…Kagome, we have to talk later…” the monk said.
