"Come on Inuyasha, please?"

"No Kagome,"

Kagome sighed and followed the half demon down the path along with the group of shard hunters.

"But I really need to go back" Kagome said

"What so you can take another test?" the hanyou asked while looking at her

"Well, actually…." Kagome stopped and looked at the ground trying to figure out how to tell him.

"What is it Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well… I actually want to go back because an old friend of mine is coming town for the next few days. And I kind of promised her I'd visit with her and allow her to stay at our place." Kagome said not looking at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha looked at her, "No, you know we're looking for the jewel shards AND Naraku."

Kagome sighed again, "I know but this was planned way before I fell into the well, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha looked at the young girl questionably. "Really?"

"Inuyasha, I used to have a life before falling into the well you know…"

Inuyasha never considered that fact. "Well I'm sure you can make it up to her some other time."

"Can't"

"Why not?"

"Well um because…." Kagome twiddled her thumbs while trying to look at him.

"Well why not?" Inuyasha said with a tad bit of anger in his voice.

"Well because she's not from this country!" Kagome practically screamed.

Everyone looked at Kagome with shocked faces.

"She's from another country far away from Japan. And this is the only time she'll be able to visit." Kagome Told Inuyasha.

"Feh, no way. This person may try to kill you," Inuyasha said crossing his arms across his chest.

Kagome shook her head. "I've known her since third grade! She'd never hurt me!"

"Feh! How long?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome dropped her bag and rummaged through it till she found a letter. Kagome looked at it really quickly, smiling when coming across part of the letter. "Well?"

"She's staying for a week," Kagome answered while putting the letter back.

"Fine you can go," Inuyasha said. Kagome squealed with joy.

"Yay!" Kagome hugged him with a squeal, surprising him and the group. "If you want Inuyasha, you can come meet her when my family and I go to the airport to pick her up."

Inuyasha shock his head and lead his pack towards the well. "Nah I'll stay here instead."

"You sure?" Kagome said with a smile and a giggle.

"I'm sure."

Hours Later…..

"Hurry Mom or we're gona be late!" Kagome shouted.

"Hang on let me grab my purse then we can go," Kagome's Mom said while grabbing her purse.

Kagome waited by the door while her mom placed her shoes on. The two Higurashi Women walked to the stairs, enjoying each other's company. The silence was broken when a certain half demon decided to jump out from the God Tree.

"Oi, is it ok if I come?"

Kagome screamed when Inuyasha jumped in front of her, Mrs. Higurashi just laughed and took out a cap from her purse. "Here put this on if you are coming with us." Mama told the young hanyou. Kagome just snirred in disgust while watching her mom put the hat onto Inuyasha. The trio then walked down the Shrine's steps to the Higurashi's car. Inuyasha stood and watched while Kagome and her mom got into the car.

"Inuyasha, come on. Otherwise we're gona be late!" Kagome practically shouted. "But I rather run then ride in that metal trap." Inuyasha said looking at her. Kagome got out and practically shoved him into the car. "No you can't. You'd never get paste the airport security." Kagome said while getting back into the car and helping him to buckle up. "Step on the gas Mama," Kagome said while buckling up. Inuyasha gripped the seats in the back of the car as Mrs. Higurashi stepped on the gas. They zoomed through Tokyo all the way to the airport. Kagome's mom dropped her and Inuyasha near the gates, "I'm gona park the car, wait for me Kagome," Mrs. Higurashi told her daughter and pulled away from the crib. Kagome watched her mom disappear among rows of cars. She looked Inuyasha who had his sleeve covering is over sensitive nose. Kagome laughed.

"What you laughing at wench," Inuyasha asked with a questioning glare.

"Nothing, I'm just surprised you came," Kagome said while watching for her mom.

"Well it was better than traveling all the way to Sango's village," Inuyasha said while rubbing his nose. He could hear loud whooshing noises all around him. He hated these loud noises. But Kagome seemed to be unfazed. He watched Kagome lean against a pole and took something out of her pocket.

"What's that Kagome?" Inuyasha asked curiously and sniffing the strange device in her hand.

"It's a cell phone, allows me to call people from where ever I am. I can also send messages on my phone." Kagome said while look at her phone. "Her plane should be landing in ten minutes," she said while putting her phone away. Inuyasha just shrugged and watched the ciaos going on around them. Cars where stopping and going, unloading people and luggage. Somewhere loading back into the cars. Inuyasha turned when he heard Kagome's mom returning.

"Let's go!" Kagome practically squealed. She and Her mom lead Inuyasha through sliding doors. The two talked while Kagome kept on eye on Inuyasha. When they came to the escalator Inuyasha just leapt to the top after making sure no one was watching. He saw shake her head while still talking to her mom as they rode the, very slow, escalator to the top and walked with Inuyasha till they came to a security check point.

"We can wait for her here," Kagome's mom said. Mamas spotted some seats and lead the two over and sat down while waiting.
