The sun slowly snaked its way down and Kagome let out a sigh, her shoulders sagging as the night’s first chill danced its way down her spine. They should have reached their destination by now and the delay was starting to unnerve her.

Another hour passed.

Biting her lower lip, the girl snuck a suspicious glance to her side. She would not, could not admit it out loud, but she could have sworn that the group has passed this rock earlier. She remembered it distinctly, it reminded her very much of a kitten, the smooth edges of it gleaming mischievously. And here it was again. Looking at the poor boulder so disdainfully it would put Sesshomaru’s glare to shame, Kagome decided that she needed to do what she hated most. Ask for help. In front of Sesshomaru out of all people. After trying to prove a point and refusing to accept his help. She could visualize that haughty half smirk already.

Lifting her fingers to her mouth, she slid the tips of two digits in. Taking a deep breath, the girl whistled loudly as long as she could bear.

Inuyasha jumped, eliciting a few previously unheard curses, Kagome filing them away carefully till further notice.

Sesshomaru’s jaw tightened but he said nothing, making the victorious smile slip off Kagome’s face to be promptly replaced by one that was almost apologetic, her whole demeanor hinting at it. But the Lord of the West would not be fooled, not when her cerulean eyes glittered with mirth.
