It was all a blur for
Kagome. She vaguely remembered agreeing to marry
Sesshoumaru and then she was at camp again, with him beside
her. Shippou and Rin ran to greet them as the
taijiya and houshi exchanged glances. Her head
hurt a little and Sango�s words only echoed in her
ears. She heard her concern but could not
understand the reason. What had happened before
then? She searched her memory and then it hit
her.
Inuyasha.
Inuyasha had left her alone. He had
went to Kikyou.
Again.

It had become painfully
apparent to Kagome, Miroku and Sango that Inuyasha would not keep his word,
especially after the third �visit�. Even though
he promised to stop after Sesshoumaru joined the group, Kikyou�s pull on him
had more of an affect than Kagome could ever compete
with. And to be honest, she was tired of
trying. She didn�t want to come between them,
but Inuyasha�s secrecy and constant absence became annoying and had even
begun to effect their journeying. It had even
started irritating Sesshoumaru. She had no
choice but to say something to him.

Inuyasha blew up in her
face when she finally did mention it to him.
Kagome was not even able to get through her first sentence before he
flew off the handle. His rage had startled her
and she felt fear of him for the first time. His
outburst had attracted Miroku and Sesshoumaru�s immediate
attention. Kagome was grateful for their
appearance but felt shame at the scene that the hanyou was causing.

The spectacle that unfolded
was not pretty. Kagome tried to dissipate
Inuyasha�s foul mood with apologies before a real fight
ensued. However, when Sesshoumaru spoke about
Inuyasha�s escapades and his inability to focus with his head, the hanyou
pulled Tessaiga and challenge the demon. In the
end, Inuyasha was on his back and Sesshoumaru promptly escorted the miko and
houshi away for him to think about his actions.
He stayed away for three days before returning.
Guilt weighted heavily on Kagome after that.

�Kagome?�
Sango spoke her name for the third time.

She looked up, jarred out
of her thoughts, �Huh?�

Sango�s expression turned
to worry. �What is wrong
Kagome-chan? Did Sesshoumaru-sama hurt
you?�

�Sesshoumaru-sama?�
She looked for him, but the campsite was seemingly
vacant. She remember
his proposal and her answer. �Where is
everyone?�

�Sesshoumaru-sama went to
check out the surrounding area. Rin and Shippou
are gathering things for our bath. You are
coming, aren�t you Kagome?�

She had completely
forgotten their bath. It had been five days
since they had had a chance to clean themselves.
Her expression light up. �Yes, of course
I want to come.�

�Good,� the young woman
smiled. �I already have all of your
things.� Sango held up Kagome�s pink shower bag,
the one her mother had packed for her.

�Will Miroku be
there?� She giggled.
She would have to wait and tell her friend later about
her...engagement.

�He better not
be!� The taijiya locked arms with her friend and
pulled her to the bathing area. �He said he was
going to look for Inuyasha. Come on, Rin and
Shippou are there already.� The trail was short
and it only took ten minutes to walk from the campsite.
They could hear the children�s laughter and were greeted
happily.

�Nee-chan!
The water is great,� Rin�s bubbly voice floated to her. Kagome nodded
and surveyed the area. They were in a small
alcove with trees surrounding them, causing a natural sunroof showing the
nightsky. Large
rocks towered over half the spring, letting them have some shelter from
prying eyes.

�Kagome-chan,� the
kitsune�s voice echoed beyond the
girls. He suddenly popped up beside the
human. �The water is so
warm. It�s just like the bathes at your
home.� Kagome nodded but mentally had
hope that Rin did not catch his last statement.

�Come
Kagome-chan, let�s get ready for our
bath.� Sango pulled the woman with her and they
disappeared from the path behind the granite looming over the
waters. The two women waded into the warmth,
hiding their bodies. The group was ignorant to
the watching figure in the trees as they continued their little
celebration.

�Ahhh,
isn�t it wonderful to have a hot bath?� Kagome sighed
heavily. The liquid eased her aching
body. The past month�s journey had been hard on
them, but she held her tongue, refusing to complain in front of Inuyasha
and Sesshoumaru.

Rin and Shippou were
splashing around, playing a game on the other end so they wouldn't disturb
Kagome and Sango. Rin�s laughter was so
cheerful, Kagome found that she could never have
a heavy heart around the child. Who knows what
horrors she had seen traveling with Sesshoumaru.
Yet that was the safest place for her.

�Yes, we must thank
Sesshoumaru-sama for this rare opportunity. Who
would have known that he could smell a hot spring,� Sango�s voice was filled
with appreciation. �I bet Inuyasha would have
never thought of this.� The statement slipped
from her lips before the woman knew it.

Her friend only
laughed. �You are right.�
She quickly adverted her
eyes. �I suppose Inuyasha could be capable of
such things.� She knew that now was the time to
tell her friend. Inuyasha was a thing of her
past now.

�Kagome...are you
okay?� She laid a hand on the young miko�s
shoulder.

�Sango, I have to tell you
something.� Her voice was barely above a
whisper. Kagome could hear the children playing
several feet to her left. �Sesshoumaru proposed
and I accepted.� She shut her eyes tightly
before quickly opening them.

Sango jumped up and
remained standing, her mouth open,
unable to speak her questions. Kagome
stood up trying to pull her nude friend back into the
water. The taijiya grabbed her hands stilling
the miko. �I knew it!
I told Miroku that you two were spending a lot of
time together, but he did not want to believe me.�
Her face was full of amazement. �But
Kagome, are you sure about marriage? It seems,
soon? And I thought that he did not really like
humans?�

�I, We, What
spending time?�

�Tell me what you two
did?� Her friend wanted the juicy details but
Kagome was a little confused.

She kept her voice
low. �I haven�t done anything with
Sesshoumaru-sama.� She inched closer to the
female. �Sango, what do you mean by spending
time together?�

�Kagome, haven�t you
noticed that everywhere you are Sesshoumaru is always close
by?�

The girl looked
shocked. Had Inuyasha noticed this as
well? She stuttered, trying to find
words. �I, no, I did not
know. But why?� she asked bewildered.

�Well, I was hoping you
could tell me.� Sango only smiled at her
friend. �Kagome, I think that Sesshoumaru-sama
is a great catch. He is very
honorable.� The girl was
silent. �Kagome, try to forget
Inuyasha.� The children could still be heard as
Shippou showed Rin some water tricks. Their
laughter filled the small area.

It seemed weird that Sango
would be so understanding toward
her predicament. Did she not understand that
everything would change from then on? �Sango, I
would have thought you would be more... upset than this.�
