A/N: Hey guys. Before you read, I just need to say a few things.

This id my first fanfiction.

I'm somewhat new to Inu-yasha. I know the basics, but I am going to try and make this fic as close to the Anime as possible. If I've messed something up, please tell me. There are a few things I will change, however, but I will tell you that I meant to change it.

naraku is dead and the shikon jewel has been completed. Kohaku is alive and lives with sango and miroku. Iny-yasha's wish on the jewel was for the well to remain open for all of kagome's friends and family. (Meaning sango, miroku, kohaku, shippo, sota, her mom, koga, etc. can all go through the well.)

I have already completed this fic. It is rather short—only 6 chapters—and hopefully should not take me long to get the whole thing up. I will try to update once a day, but no promises.

I have been thinking about making a sequel to this fic, though I don't have many ideas. If you have an idea, send it to me via e-mail (put "fanfic idea" for the subject or I will delete it) or review.

Also, I am in need of someone to check my grammer. If you find a mistake in my story, please tell me and I'll try to fix it soon.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha and co. GOD I wish I did, but I don't.

With all that said, on with the story!

Perfect Day

By: MidnightWolf

Chapter 1

Kagome walked slowly back to camp on a beautiful spring day. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the sky was clear and cloudless. The day seemed perfect…too perfect. The young miko had just finished her bathing in the hot spring near the cave where she and Inu-Yasha were staying, quite looking forward to seeing the handsome hanyou.

She and Inu-Yasha had become very close as of late. Someone in Kagome's time might call them boyfriend and girlfriend, or they might use the term, "going out", though the two had never been on an actual date. However, Inu-Yasha preferred to call them mates, though this term was not quite literal. The two were planning on building a house, though, which is why they were sleeping in a cave minus a demon slayer, a perverted monk, and a hyper- active kitsune.

Miroku and Sango had FINALLY confessed their feelings for each other. 'It's about time,' Kagome would often think to herself, though she never said it to the two. They had built a cabin just outside of Kaede's village and were still trying to decide how many kids they wanted. They were often very busy taking care of Kohaku instead of having their own type of fun, though.

But back to the thoughts concerning her and the hanyou…. She remembered how surprised she had been when her mother actually approved of her living a man at 16. She never thought of her mother as someone who would just give in without a fight… especially when it came to guys, but she wasn't complaining.

'At least the well stayed open,' she thought. She was glad that she could still visit her family. She loved Inu-Yasha and would always want to spend her life with him, even if it meant never seeing her family again, but this was much better.

Kagome was so deep in thought, she didn't notice the angry- looking hanyou standing outside their cave…heck! She didn't even realize she was at the cave.

She snapped out of it as she walked right into him. "Oh, I'm sorry, Inu-Yasha," she said, but as she looked up, she realized his expression was anything but the usual kind and forgiving self. (A/N: I know he's not normally kind and forgiving, but since he's admitted his feelings for Kagome, he's been really sweet to her.)

"What's wrong with you?" he screamed. "Why don't you watch where you're going for once, bitch!"

"What's with you?" she retorted, amazed at the way he was acting.

"I already said that you need to watch where you're going!"

"And since when do you care if I'm clumsy?"

"I don't."

"Well it sure sounds like you do!"

"And where the hell have you been, hmm? Gone back home without telling me? Or maybe you went off to do something with that wimpy wolf!"

"Is that what this is about? You think I still like Koga? How many times do I have to tell you that I don't like him? Geez, Inu-Yasha, I went to the hot spring for a bath like I do every day! And I told you that earlier, too. I don't know what's gotten into you, but I don't like it!"

"Well that's fine with me! I don't love you! I don't even like you! I love Kikyo so you can just go off and have fun with your little wolf mate…or better yet, just go home. Go home, Kagome, see if I care. And when you start to feel bad about

two- timing me, don't bother to come back. I want you out of my life…FOR GOOD!"

A/N: So what'd ya'll think? Too short? Don't worry, the next one's longer. This one was originally going to be a prelude, but I changed my mind and turned it into a regular chapter. Please R&R!
