Hi everyone! Again…I'm here with another little one-shot. I hope you like it, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

"There they go again," Sango muttered, frowning a little as her two companions were into another heated battle with each other. Shippo sighed as he watched from feet away from the miko and hanyō, both screaming down each other's throats.

Miroku scratched his head uneasily, not quite understanding how the matter of their midday meal had suddenly taken a turn into them bickering.

"Is this why you brought us lunch, wench? So you can just go back to your own time and take those stupid tests!" Inuyasha had bellowed at the miko. He huffed in annoyance as she stomped her foot on the ground, threw her hands in the air, letting out a heavy sigh.

Her voice increased as she began to rave over his retort at her last discussion with him. Inuyasha could practically hear the impending threat in her voice signifying that she'd 'osuwari' him soon. "That is not why I brought the lunches Inuyasha. I chose to do it because I wanted to."

"Keh! So your choice was to bring us food in return to let me let you go to your time." He snorted in disbelief. His thoughts still contemplated whether she was telling the truth or if this whole gathering was just some way to let her go to her era.

A tic formed in the miko's head, her eyes flared in acrimony, but she kept her irritation intact. Breathing in deeply for at least ten-seconds, Kagome looked at her hanyō companion in the eye.

"At the start of our journey I had the choice to have gone and stayed in my time Inuyasha, but no, my choice was to stay here. I had the choice to leave but my choice was to stay by your side. The situation with…Kikyo was quite difficult for not only you, but for me too. I had the choice to not return to this era the first time we encountered her but my choice was clear, my choice was made to let you understand that no matter how hard things may be, I would face them."

Kagome panted heavily, but she wasn't quite finished yet, and she stared at his countenance that showed shock. His golden-amber orbs widened at every word she declared.

"They were my choices and I do not regret them at all. Like how it was my choice to do a midday meal for you and the others," Kagome noticed the audience behind him, causing her to flush at her earlier out burst.

Inuyasha sighed and gave her a curt nod, and she knew that her choice words had kept him quiet.

I could've chosen to not fall in love with you, but its too late for that now. Kagome nodded and looked over to her friends,"Now," she clapped her hands together, drawing their attention,"Is anyone hungry?"

Sango, Miroku and Shippo, including Kirara who mewed as she jumped onto Sango's shoulder, nodded. They turned to set up camp and continued on like the argument hadn't happen. Kagome looked over her shoulder to see Inuyasha staring at her.

"Well, aren't you hungry too?" She asked softly, reaching out to walk him over to the camp that was already set. "Sorry," He muttered. Kagome blinked various times,"Come again?" She questioned.

"I'm sorry." He mumbled under his breath but enough for her to say it. Kagome let out a little giggle,"So now that you lost our little argument, your choice was to say I'm sorry?"

"I didn't have to say it, but I chose to say it." He grumbled. Kagome gripped his hand. "It's okay Inuyasha, I'm sorry for yelling. Let's go eat, I'm starved."

I seriously don't know where this came from, it must be because it's a very gloomy day today. There was a lunar eclipse very early today, around two or three I think, and I was amazed! Anyway, did you like it? Thank you for reading, until then!
