[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
"How much longer until we find Kagome's dad?" Shippo asked.
"We don't know for sure Shippo since none of us have been here before. Based on what we've heard, it should only take us another day or two of walking to reach Lake Ume," Miroku explained.
"Do you think we'll meed anymore of the Hebi on our way?" Sango asked, a hint of fear in her tone.
"Probably," Hime replied, "I doubt they'd leave themselves unprotected."
"Do all of the Hebi have powers like the demons we just encountered?" Miroku asked.
"Yes, or so I've heard," Hime answered.
"Who knows what else we'll find," Sango said to no one in particular.
Hime glanced behind them. Inuyasha had fallen back behind the group. Kagome was on his back again, fast asleep. Hime was walking with Miroku, Sango and Shippo. She was carrying Sango's sleeping companion Kirara, who was purring because of Hime's soft strokes across her back. They had all been walking for almost eight hours. They had taken a short break to eat lunch, but other then that, the had done nothing but walk since their last conflict. Kagome had allowed Inuyasha to carry her for awhile, but convinced him she could walk after they stopped for lunch. She walked for a little while, until Inuyasha noticed her leg was bothering her. After a short argument, Kagome gave up and let him carry her. She hadn't realized how tired she was until then and was asleep withing 10 minutes of being picked up.
"Inuyasha, do you think we should stop for the night soon?" Miroku hollered back at the hanyou.
"Yeah," Inuyasha looked around them, "This'll work."
Inuyasha carefully moved Kagome off of his back and into his arms. He removed her backpack and handed it to Sango. Kirara jumped out of Hime's arms and transformed into her larger form. Kirara lay down by Inuyasha, who lay the hanyou in his arms against the cat demon.
"We should check her wound," Sango suggested.
"Let her sleep a little longer," Inuyasha said.
Sango nodded and sat down in front of Kirara. She began to stroke her companions head, concentrating on her ears. The cat demon purred softly and let out a quiet meow.
"I want to leave early tomorrow," Inuyasha said, "I don't like the idea of being in one place for to long."
Miroku nodded, "I agree, the sooner we find Taiken and get out of here, the better."
"We should figure out what we're doing for dinner," Hime suggested.
"Lets see what Kagome's got," Sango said, leaving Kirara's side and opening Kagome's bag. She pulled out some random snacks; potato chips, cookies, crackers, and a couple of little bags of mini pretzels. It wasn't the most nutritious meal, but everyone was to tired to make anything.
"Should we start a fine?" Hime asked.
"No, I don't think we need to draw anymore attention to ourselves," Miroku replied.
"Yes, I think you're right," Sango added, "I feel uneasy being here. Perhaps we should take turns staying up as look-outs tonight, what do you think Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha was distracted by the female hanyou sleeping and hadn't heard Sango's remark. He watched Kagome's chest rise and fall rhythmically with each breath she took. Her ears twitched as a large gust of wind blew a few strands of hair in her face.
"Inuyasha?" Sango questioned, louder this time.
"What?" Inuyasha replied.
"I asked if you thought we should have someone stay up on guard tonight," Sango explained.
Inuyasha nodded and turned his attention back to Kagome. The noise must have awoken her, because when he looked back, Kagome's eyes fluttered open.
"Hey," she mumbled, before yawning and stretching her arms, "how long was I asleep?"
"Awhile," Inuyasha replied.
"Sorry, you could have woken me up, you didn't have to carry me that long," Kagome apologized.
"Its alright, I didn't mind," Inuyasha answered.
"Kagome, are you hungry?" Sango asked.
"No, I really just want to get cleaned up. I smell like blood and sweat," Kagome explained.
"There's a pond of some sort near here, can you smell the fresh water Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome sniffed the air and then nodded.
"Do you think you can follow your nose to it?" He asked.
Kagome again nodded.
"Why don't you, Sango, and Hime go ahead and go. Shippo, Miroku and I will stay here," Inuyasha suggested, "take Kirara along so she can look out for you guys while you bathe."
"Alright, come on, its this way," Kagome started off to the north of their camp.
"You'll still be in hearing range, if you need me, yell,"" Inuyasha said as the girls walked away.
"Are you sure its wise for the girls to go off alone?" Miroku asked.
"The scent of blood is strong to a hanyou's nose, she'll feel better once she gets rid of it," Inuyasha explained.
"What if she needs help washing it off?" Miroku asked, with an innocent look on his face.
"Stay where you are monk, the girls are there if she needs help," the hanyou replied.
* * *
"Oh, that feels nice," Hime mumbled as she slid into the warm water.
"MmmHmmm....." Kagome replied.
"Are you feeling better now that you've slept?" Sango asked.
"Yes, much better," Kagome replied, "my leg is a little sore, but I have some Tylenol back in my bag that may help."
"Good," Sango said as she slid further into the water.
The girls fell silent as they let themselves relax. Hime was sitting with her back resting against a cool rock. She had her eyes closed and was humming softly. Sango was on Hime's right. She was on the edge of the hot spring with her back turned towards the others. She had her head resting on her arms, which were crossed and set on the bank. Sango let her body relax as she listened to Hime's humming and her eyelids slowly dropped. On Hime's left, Kagome was scrubbing her arms ruthlessly with a washcloth smothered in soap she'd brought from home. Slowly but surely she was getting the demon's stench off of her hands. The scent filled her head with memories of the battle.
Kagome remembered the fear she felt when she gained consciousness. The fear hadn't hit her right away. When Kagome first woke up, she didn't realize what was happened, she just remembered feeling the need to get Shippo out of there. The fear came when Kagome saw that the others couldn't help her. She didn't know what she was doing through the whole ordeal. Kagome was convinced that if Inuyasha hadn't woken up when he did, she wouldn't have made it. She may have seemed confident, but she was terrified. She decided she needed to ask Inuyasha to help her learn to fight. He had been helping her learn to control her senses, but she needed to learn to defend herself. She didn't want to have to rely on the others so much. Kagome looked at Sango and Hime. They were both such strong women. Sango was a great demon slayer, she never needed the guys to protect her. Hime had told them that she had been in combat training since she was young. Kagome hadn't seen her fight yet, but she was sure Hime could defend herself. Hime seemed to have such a strong spirit. She told Kagome that everyone in their family has a special power. They learn what it is when they are young and then work to strengthen it. Maybe through practicing with Inuyasha, Kagome could discover her own power. Kagome was jerked out of her thoughts when Kirara hissed and transformed.
"Kirara, what is it?" Sango asked.
Her question was answered when Miroku and Inuyasha walked out from behind the trees. They were both wearing huge grins on their faces.
"Lechers!" Sango yelled as she sunk further under water, attempting to cover herself.
"What do you think you're doing?" Kagome yelled when the boys did not retreat after being discovered.
"Mind if we join you?" Miroku asked in a seductive tone.
"Of course we mind!"Hime shouted, "Get out of here!"
"You girls look like you could use some company?" Inuyasha said as he began to undress.
Miroku followed his example and took off his robes. Once undressed the men slid into the warm water. Inuyasha slowly waded over to where Kagome was while Miroku rested in between Hime and Sango.
"Inuyasha, what is going on?" Kagome asked.
"I thought it was about time you and I got a little closer," Inuyasha said, then pulled Kagome closer to him.
Kagome blushed and looked over at the others, hoping they knew what was going on. Miroku had his arms around both women. Hime and Sango looked just as confused and uncomfortable as Kagome.
'What is gotten into them?' Kagome wondered, 'Wait a minute,' she inhaled Inuyasha's scent, That’s not Inuyasha!"
A/N: Sorry it took awhile to post. I started working on the prologue to this. I shouldn't be working on it yet, because I won't post it until I finish this one, but I started getting ideas and I wanted to get it written down before I forgot. So far its just Nisume's story, but I was wondering if you guys thought I should put Taiken’s story in there also. I have the next chapter written, I just need to type it, I'll start tonight, but I get to tired I'll finish typing it tomorrow. I hope you guys liked this chapter. Please review and I'll start writing the chapter after next.
