Inuyasha watched Kagome idly as she shot an arrow through the forest, his interest only sparking every time one of the arrows seemed to glow a faint purple.

She had explained it to him. She was trying to incorporate her Miko training into the arrows, like she had managed to do by accident the first time she ever shot one but hadn't managed to do since. She was being taught to transfer her Miko energy a year and a half ago before she left, but her training was never completed.

So, she was basically going off of instinct and brains. And she was sure as hell smart. Whenever she put her mind to something she was voracious, and was hellbent to figure out whatever it was she was trying to do.

Those days when it came to a verbal battle of wits Kagome pretty much always won, much to Inuyasha's chagrin.

But he was proud of her, nonetheless. She had greatly improved, and was getting stronger each passing day. From the travel, and the archery, she was in great shape.

And what a fucking shape she had.

Though it seemed Inuyasha was not the only male to notice.

That caused an eyebrow to tick in irritation at the thought,  and Inuyasha rolled over onto his other side causing the fat ball of fur they had come to know and love as Buyo to slide off his stomach. It gave a protesting and rolling “brrrrroooow!”, which Inuyasha easily ignored.

Yawning loudly, Inuyasha sighed.

Kagome wanted to head into a village sometime soon to look for new clothes. Her old ones were either too small or shredded due to constant wear and tear. Except for the kimono he had gotten her for her fourteenth year, and recently, her fifteenth year. They were both elegant, at least, for commoners. Which could be why she kept them in top shape, but otherwise, to Inuyasha, they were just pieces of clothes that meant nothing either way.

Sniffing a bit, Inuyasha sighed.

She had definitely grown up, indeed. And to think she had yet to truly fill out.

Scary.

Inuyasha ducked at the last second, since the hairs on the back of his neck had stood up. A purified pebble hit the tree's bark above him, and Inuyasha turned with his ears perked in irritation towards Kagome.

“OI! What the fuck! What the hell is your problem?!”

Kagome glared at him and shouted back, “I've been trying to get your attention, Baka! What are you daydreaming about?”

Inuyasha growled, feeling that slight tinge of embarrassment he did whenever he was caught thinking about her like he had been the past while.

“None of your fucking business! Besides, I don't fucking daydream!”

Kagome growled back, “You just admitted it!”

Inuyasha shut his mouth.

Yeah, he had been daydreaming in some terms. But she just didn't need to know what he had been thinking about.

“Whatever. If you're done, let's go.”

Inuyasha stood, and so did Buyo. The cat simply followed them now, walking wherever they did.

How that cat stayed fat, Inuyasha had no idea.

Maybe it was time to put it on a diet.

…That couldn't be healthy.

Oi.

Scratching the back of his head, Inuyasha awkwardly glanced at Kagome, who walked in front of him. He knew she knew he was looking at her-she always did. But she didn't turn that raven head of hers around to look at him… she just kept walking.

Sighing deeply and dropping his hand lazily, Inuyasha looked down at Buyo. The cat graced him with a complimentary look and meow.

Inuyasha nudged the cat with his foot in acknowledgement, and the cat ended up tipping onto its face by accident.

Looking rather sheepish, Inuyasha stopped and picked the cat up, and slung it over his shoulder.

Diet or no diet, fatty fat fat or not fat, he kinda felt bad for tripping it. So, the cat hung there for a while as they walked along in relative silence.

That was… until Inuyasha felt a warm, wet tongue dragging its way across his cheek. Looking in annoyance at Buyo, Inuyasha poked it somewhat roughly with his finger.

But, that didn't stop it.

Nudging it with his head, he grumbled, “Stop it, Cat.”

Again, a trail of wetness left its way along his face. Growling slightly now, Inuyasha nudged Buyo again.

“I said stop it.”

Alternating the licking and purring now, it tilted its head up and licked along his ear. Shuddering, Inuyasha growled and plucked the cat from his shoulder, and proceeded unceremoniously to drop it on the ground.

“Don't be mean to my cat, Inuyasha!”

Inuyasha froze.

“What the hell?! I wasn't being mean, damnit!”

Kagome frowned at him, “I saw the whole thing! He was just trying to be affectionate! If you don't want him doing that stuff, don't hold him!”

Scowling, Inuyasha stopped walking, “I wasn't holding him!”

Kagome put a hand on her hip, firming her stance, “Yes you were!”

“I was not, he was hitching a goddamn ride.”

“Same thing!”

“What the fuck does it matter! He lands on all fours anyway, and he can fucking walk his fat ass!”

As he said this, Kagome lifted the obese cat into her arms and looked slightly affronted, “He is not fat…”

Inuyasha pointed at the apparent blub on the cat, “Then what do you call that?”

“Glandular problems…”

“What the fuck… what the hell is that?”

Kagome stuck her tongue out at him and huffed, “Something you'd never understand!”

Turning around, she proceeded to walk off in front of him.

Sputtering slightly, Inuyasha waited a moment before trailing behind her and sulking all the while.

The only thing that stuck Inuyasha's mind at that particular moment was how childish he could be when cornered by fifteen year old girls while he, himself, was more than a quarter of a millennia old.

 
 

 
“St op pouting Inuyasha.”

“I'm not fucking pouting.”

“…then why is your bottom lip protruding?”

Inuyasha sucked it in behind his fangs.

“It's not.”

“…Your eyebrows are still low.”

“So? They can be low if they wanna be.”

“…they're controlled by muscles, Inuyasha,  they do not have free will nor are they sentient.”

One of those aforementioned eyebrows lifted.

“What the hell do you care?”

“I don't. It's annoying when you pout though. You look like a kicked puppy.”

“You would know all about that look, wouldn't you?”

Kagome sighed.

“I can't believe you.”

 

 
“&# 8230;.are we there yet?”

“No.”

. . . . .

“… yet?”

“No.”

. . . .

. . .

. .

.

“…are we close then?”

“Will you shut up wench? I'll tell you when we get there.”

. . . .

“…yet?”

“FI NALLY!” Kagome ran ahead of Inuyasha and smiled brightly. “Finally, a bed! A bath! Indoors, home-cooked meal!”

Inuyasha felt his eye twitch.

“I cook food for you every night.”

Kagome smiled sheepishly at him and shrugged. “You're a man cooking. It's not the same thing.”

…what.

“What the hell does that mean? My food not good enough for you?”

Kagome blinked and lifted a finger to her chin, “Oh, no, don't get me wrong. Your food is good. It's just… a house maiden has a certain taste males seem to lack. No offense.”

Inuyasha felt the vein in his forehead pop out… one of those headaches was coming on again and Inuyasha could practically already see the males in the village drooling over Kagome.

This was going to be a long visit…
