InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Bet ❯ Night Quarelles ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer: I do not own Inu-Yasha. If I did this would be an actual story and Kikyo would not be as big of problem as she is (sorry but I'm a Kikyo hater!) Anyway you know the rest and enjoy.

The Bet

It had been three hours since the bet between Sango and Miroku had started and things seemed normal enough to them at least. Night came early and the fire crackled as Miroku tried to think of away to hurry the bet along.

An idea came to him.

"Maybe we should continue a little further. Its not really that dark and I'm sure we could even find a tavern if we kept a good pace."

Kagome looked up at the houshi and gave a small whimper, "Do we really have to, and I'm so tired because of that youkai back at that village."

Here it comes. Sango thought, Houshi-sama shame on you using a dirty trick like this to get them to fight.

Inu-Yasha of course began his lecture of how weak the girl was, "Stop complaining you du-"

"I'm tired too, Houshi-sama it is much to late to more anywhere, besides we have already set up camp!" Sango interrupted.

The interruption also reminded Inu-Yasha about the discussion between Sango and Miroku.

"Kagome." Inu-Yasha called to the young girl kitty-corner in the circle they had around the burning flame, "are you really that worn out?"

Kagome looked on, she didn't know what he was thinking but she knew this trick before. Act all sweet and caring and then start to yell and call her spoiled.

"Well, a little bit you know I'm not as-"

Her words were cut off by an arm being draped across her shoulders and being pulled into a warm embrace. "Get some rest, Kagome."

Kagome couldn't even believe what had just happened. She tried to recap; an argument had started between them and instead of him yelling back he pulled her into him. Nani? Was all her mind could say. It's just like what had happened at the forest, what was going on.

What ever was going on Kagome certainly didn't complain. She simply leaned in and lay her head on his chest, closed her eyes and slipped in to a slumber.

Gomen nasai… this chapter is so short but the next one is longer and the last chapter!
