Kagome jumped out of the Bone Eater's Well. She walked to elderly priestess Kaede's village. It wasn't exactly hers, but it was Kaede's duty to protect the village anyways. She was like Kagome's grandmother sometimes, and Kagome almost always liked to have her company and advice. Always receiving wisdom from Kaede could be tiring, but Kagome knew that at some point in her life, she'd use the valuable information.

It was only a ten-minute walk away, but Kagome wasn't in too much of a hurry. Her backpack was so HEAVY!! She'd decided to carry a smaller yellow backpack, so it would be easier to carry in battle.

She was correct about it for the most part. She'd gotten Shippo a small navy blue one with a thin sleeping bag, food, and a mini supply kit: just about a mini version of her own. She'd brought them gifts for just about everyone in the feudal era, basically. Of course, she'd only give it to them if they deserved it.

Her gift to Sango was the coolest. It was a belt. There was a water container attachment, a sword hook, a hidden dagger case, a concealed poison pocket, a mini detachable jewelry bag, and a roomy pocket for anything. She had seen a sale in a clothing store, and was very excited to find out that there was a sale on personalized belts. The salesman/belt-maker person was looking at her in a very funny way when she told him what she wanted in the belt. He was suspicious that she might have been mentally retarded when she told him that she wanted a sword hook and dagger case.

She'd gotten a book with information on food and necessary tools from natural resources. It would probably help Miroku and InuYasha the most. Can't cook and stuff for them forever, right?? It showed how to weave mats, braid ropes, etc... Hmm… maybe it isn't such a good idea to teach InuYasha to braid ropes, thought Kagome sarcastically. Oh, I've missed him so much! The village came into view, even though it was hardly bigger than her backpack.

It seems to brighten the entire forest, Kagome thought, passing the hot springs that were the steamiest. She and Sango bathed in them the most to prevent peepers like Miroku, who sometimes dragged InuYasha along. They always threw in fragrant leaves and flower petals, using spices for scrubbing (flowers and spices were Kagome's idea, leaves were Sango's). Pausing to admire their fine work, Kagome froze in her tracks.

A female's soft and sickeningly sweet voice giggled, whispered, gasped, and then moaned. Kagome would have left in disgust, but heard an unmistakable hot and aroused voice answering. That was just too much.

She ran away until she was miles apart. and ran about twenty miles in five minutes without stopping or becoming tired. She didn't want to believe that InuYasha had fallen in love with Kikyo again. No! He can't have! thought Kagome. Not after all of the things he said to me!! InuYasha couldn't possibly after he saw her try to kill me!

Well, how was it? Just so you all know, Don't get any ideas about my Sesshomaru and Kagome being perfect together, okay? And though it may seem like it, I do not write Sess-Kag fanfics. Please review with tips, comments, and suggestions. Oh, and as of yet, I do not write lemons either…
