Slipping her arms out of her sleeves Kagome pulled the rest of her shirt over her head with a deep sigh. Bending down she lifted on foot then the other as she pulled her socks and shoes off next. Straightening she gave a small wiggle as she shimmied her skirt down her thighs then past her calves only to be kicked away by her skirt causing it to land against a mass of tree roots. Glancing down Kagome silently observed her undergarments. She was wearing a pale gold bra and panty set. The bra almost seemed too small for her as they lifted her breast and exposed almost all of her breasts covering only her nipples. As for the panties they dipped low and barely covered her neatly trimmed nether regains then thinned out along her hips until it was only a small strip of cloth barely the width of the tip of her pinky until it broadened once more to cover her butt.

Glancing at the spring she wished to bathe in Kagome slowly stripped herself of her remaining garments and dipped a toe in the water to test its temperature. Kagome gave a slight shiver as the cool afternoon breeze blew over her exposed skin and picked up her tresses only to toss them about wildly like a kite in a storm.

Kagome was unsure as too what had drawn her away from her small hut to this isolated spring so far from the village she had settled in after her friends had abandoned her on lazy spring night.

Kagome had woken up that fateful morning to an empty clearing and glanced around slightly confused as none of the normal morning routines of her companions made themselves known to her by sound. 'Why was everyone so quiet?' she wondered as she moved the corner of her well worn sleeping bag away from her causing it to unzip slightly.

Sitting up she barely held back a gasp as she took in the empty clearing. Taking a quick look up into the tree Kagome noted that not even her dog eared companion was there. Looking to the sky she accepted the fact that it was not even dawn and her companions had left her there without waking her. Taking a quick glance around the clearing once more Kagome took note of the fact that they had taken both her yellow bag and her weapons leaving her completely defense.

'What is the meaning of this? Where are my things? Why didn't they wake me up?'

(End Flash Back)

Kagome sighed and shook away the memories of the next week that had followed and the months after that. They had been hard, very much so. She had been lucky to have been allowed the small abandoned hut on the outskirts of the village she had stumbled upon only the month before.

Kagome hadn't volunteered to act as the miko of the village rather she had had it forced upon her once Sesshoumaru had discovered her within his village. Surprisingly enough Sesshoumaru hadn't cared that she was in his lands. Rather he had only wanted to know why Inuyasha wasn't there. Kagome had merely sighed and explained to him that she had not seen him in nearly six moon cycles. Sesshoumaru had gone more quiet the usual merely sitting gracefully before her on her best cushion sipping on some tea that she had served him.

That had been nearly three weeks ago and now it was early November and the weather was starting to get worse. Kagome had stockpiled as much supplies of herbs, blankets, food, and warm clothes as possible. She had also found ways to insolate the walls of her house so that the wind would not come howling through the cracks and freezing her. Surprisingly she had discovered to her immense pleasure that they used wooden doors to keep out the unwanted cold and visitors.

A twig snapping brought her attention to her immediate left and she rose from the waters that let off light streams of steam as different intervals. Her eyes scanning the tree line she found nothing yet still reached for her extra towel and wrapped it around her form and removed herself from the water.

An unnerving howl rose from the deepening darkness as the sun began to set. Kagome glance to the sky and noticed that it had been several hours since she had come to the hot spring. How could she have not noticed the time? She needed to return to the village before the sun fully set for the night. Rushing to her clothing she hurriedly dressed and began a swift jog in order to reach the village all the more quickly.
