Inuyasha and the gang were on their way back to Kaede's after collecting three more jewel shards. They were close to the well when Kagome remembered something.

"Um...Inuyasha?" Kagome said timidly. She knew what she was about to ask him would no doubt piss him off.

"What?" He asked tensing up. He saw how close they were to the well and he had a feeling he knew what she wanted and he did not like it.

"Do you think I could go back home for a few days?" She asked smiling at him sweetly.

He growled. "No way! You don't go to that school place anymore so what do ya gotta go for huh?"

"Because Souta is coming home for a visit and I'd like to spend a little time with him." Souta had started college about a year ago and he was coming home for a weekend visit.

"Well you should be spendin time with me instead wench! I need you more than anybody else!" He blurted.

Kagome's eyes widened. "Do you really mean that Inuyasha?"

He panicked when he realized what he'd just revealed so he said the first thing that came to his mind.

"Keh. Of coarse I do wench! You're the only one who can sense the shards! Who else is gonna do your fuckin job?" He said crossing his arms.

Kagome narrowed her eyes. "Is that all I am to you Inuyasha? A jewel detector?"

"What else would I need ya for?" He said without thinking. He winced internally. He didn't really mean it but he didn't want anyone to know just how much he cared for her. He loved her more than life itself but he couldn't bring himself to tell her out of fear of rejection. He was just a half breed and he believed he didn't deserve someone as pure as her.

"I see. Well if that's how you feel then maybe I won't come back!" She said even though she knew it was a lie.

"WHAT?! You don't mean that!" He said panicking. She just couldn't leave him forever! He'd be lost without her.

"Maybe I do and maybe I don't." She said as she started to leave.

"Wait! I didn't mean it! Come on Kagome! Come back! I said to stop you stupid wench!" He yelled as he started to follow her.

"Shut up and sit!" She yelled as she ran off before he could catch her.

"Dammit!" He yelled punching the ground once he was able to sit back up. Everyone just looked at him and shook their heads.

"You know, you really are stupid sometimes Inuyasha." Shippo said.

"Shut it runt!" Inuyasha growled.

Miroku sighed. "Shippo's right. You really should watch what you say. You need to go apologize."

"Keh. Why should I go apologize to that wench? I'm the one that got sat!"

Sango rolled her eyes. "Give it a rest Inuyasha! We all know how you feel about her and that you'll just go get her the second we're not paying attention. Now go apologize and do us all a favor and tell her how you REALLY feel about her!"

Inuyasha blushed. "I don't have feelings for her! You guys are just imagining things! Bunch of idiots!" He yelled before stomping off.

"He's gonna go see Kagome ain't he?" Shippo asked.

"Yep." Miroku said smiling as he shook his friend. Their hanyou friend was so predictable. He broke away from his thoughts when he looked over and saw Sango bent over.

"Jackpot!" He whispered as he reached over and gave her ass a squeeze. Sango stiffened up before standing up straight.

"Pervert!" She yelled hitting him upside the head with her giant boomarang. He fell to the ground unconcious with a smile on his face.

"What an idiot. Sometimes I don't know who the bigger moron is, Miroku or Inuyasha?" Shippo said shaking his head.

"I'd like to know the answer to that myself. We SHOULD just leave THIS particular moron here by himself." Sango said glaring at the still unconcious Miroku.

"Yeah." Shippo agreed with a smirk.

Sango sighed. "As much as I'm tempted to do just that, I'm too nice to just leave him out here in the open. Kilala, can you carry him back to Kaede's?"

Kilala meowed before transforming. She lifted Miroku by the back of his robes and flew off.

"Come on Shippo. If we're lucky Kaede might have something made for dinner for us."

Shippo's eyes lit up at the mention of food and he ran over and hopped onto her shoulder.

"Let's go Sango! I"m starved!" He said. She laughed and headed to Kaede's.
