Another small attack had happened, at the borders of Konoha. InuYasha and Kirara had, again, been there. Again, they would tell Sango and Kagome nothing.

Kagome didn't like this, not at all, but it was fine. Sometimes people had to fight their own battles, and they'd tell her eventually.

Eventually.

She trusted, at the very least, Kirara to tell her in time. Of course, she had figured out it must be related to Naraku, but Naraku had no jewel to power him, thus was much less of a threat than before. He was most likely testing Konoha's defenses, and, in the end, only fighting Kirara and InuYasha.

Which would make sense, since InuYasha knew his scent well enough.

Sango was beginning to get the hand of jutsu's, and was training a little less than before. This made Kagome happy, though she enjoyed hanging out with Tenten for extended periods of time, Sango was...Sango.

Kagome blushed as Sasuke gave her bottom a good spank as he walked by her—in the opposite direction as he was headed to pick Shippo up while she went to the market.

She smiled softly, looking over her shoulder at him. He glanced back at her and smirked.

She loved him, so much.
