Inuyasha and gang do not belong to me.... gee I wish...
Chapter 1
------------------------------------
"Come on Kagome! You'r coming back now!" Inu-yasha demanded.
"Let go of me! I have already told youI have a test tomorrow in math and theres no way I'm going back right now!" Kagome pushed his hand off her wrist and sat back down at the table.
"Inu-yasha," her mother pleaded. "She realy does need this grade and besides we see so little of her lately. Why dont you sit and and I'll fix you a plate of food?"
"KEH!" He crossed his legs as he sat across from Kagome and glared at her while she ate. Kagome's mom brought out a large plate overflowing with food and sat it in front of him. Grandpa and Souta watched as the half-demon made a mess out of eating. Kagome soon stood. "I'm finished. I'll be in my room studying."
After dinner kagome's mother cleared the table and washed the dishes. Inu-yasha sat on the living room floor allowing Kagome's Grandfather use some of his usless soutras on him. Souta sat across from Inu-yasha playing with Buyo, bouncing a toy mouse on a sting in front of the unamused cat.
It soon became late and the family to get ready for bed."You'r welcome to stay the night if you want Inu-yasha.You can sleep in Souta's room."
Inu-yasha grunted and stood. "No thanks. I'll sleep outside." He then left the house and jumped into the god tree. Hugging his precious Tetseiga he drifted off to sleep.
The next morning Inu-yasha woke with the sun and thought he would go home. He was uncomfortable around Kagome's family. Even though they were so nice to him he couldn't help but feel his stomache tie itself into knots,. and it irritated him that he would get so nervous aroound a bunch of humans. He had never been afraid of humans.
Just cautious. He sat in the tree for a few moments longer and watched Kagome's window, hoping she would go to it if he stared long enough. Half an hour past and he heard the signs of the familygoing about thier daily duties. Kagome woke and stretched with a lage yawn. After feeling it was time to be getting out of bed she got up and walked over to her window. 'Is Inu-yasha still here?'
She peeked out of the window and caught his gaze. 'Eep! He's staring at my window!' she stared back at him and smiled sweetly waving for him to come in. 'Iwounder what he was thinking...' she thought as she opened the window for him, knowing he wouldnt use the front door.
He landed on the roof with a light thump and climbed into Kagome's room. She motioned for him to have a seat on the bed and he quetly obeyed. "did you sleep well last night Inu-yasha?" She said sitting down next to him. He grunted "Well enough. When are you going to be going back Kagome? We realy need to be going home and hunting more of those blasted shards."
She sat for a moment. Home. Did he realy think the past was her home now? True she did spend most of her time in the past now but that was not her home. Her home was here were her loved ones were. Wasn't it. It seemed that now she had two familys. Gramps, Mom, and Souta and then in the past was Shippo, Miroku, Sango, and of course Inu-yasha. So wich was her real home now. "Uh...Kagome..."
She looked up at him "Hmm?"
"What were you thinking? You never answered me." He stared at her waiting for her answer.
"Oh! It was nothing. Really!!! Um.. I guess I'll be going this afternoon. When I get out of school. I'll need some time to pack some more medical supplies and food and other stuff."
"Fine. Just dont take to long packing, and dont overfill that stupid backpack of yours! I always have to wind up carrying it!" He stood to leave. "Inu-yasha were are you going?"
"Well, theres nothing for me to do here. I'm going home."
"You could stay and help Mom with the shrine. I'm sure she would love some company today. Besides you wont have anythig to do there but lay around and wait for me to return."
"Keh. Fine." He sat back down on the bed and crossed his arms. Kagome looked over at her alarm clock. I need to be getting ready for school. She gathered her school books and shoved them into her school back and went to the bathroom to get dressed. Inu-yasha made his way to the kitchen when the smell of beacon hit his sensitive nose. When Kagome came down for breakfast she found Inu-yasha downing the rest of his milk. She sighed and sat down next to him at quikly ate her breakfast.
Inu-yasha looked over to her full plate. "Dont even think about it dog-boy."she snapped as his hand slightly raised towards a peice of beacon. Kagome's mom soon brought out anouther plate of food for Inu yasha. He grinned a winning smile at Kagome and she again sighed.
After eating Kagome gathered her bag and lunch and practicaly ran to school. Souta left not long after leaving him with Gramps and Kagome's mom for the remainder of the day. 'great.'He thought to himself. He looked over to find Gramps writing yet anouther soutra to try on the half-demon. 'Does he ever quit. They never work.'
"So what are you going to do while Kagome is at school?" Mrs. Higurashi asked him. She gathered the empty plates.
"Uh... I'm not sure. I was thinking about going home since theres nothing much for me to do around here." He stared at the ground as once again his stomache started to tie itself in knots. "Nonsence! You can come with me! I have a bit of erands to do and I wanted to get a present for Kagome. She's working so hard latley I thought she could use something nice. Would you like to go Inu-yasha." He looked up and smiled nervously. It would be nice to see what the rest of Kagome's world is like.
Maybe I can get her a present too. "Uh..sure why not..."
Kagome's mom beamed down at him. "great! I'll go get you some clothes to wear. You cant go out in those old clothes. I think your just about the same size as my husband was. And I'll see if I can find a hat for you to wear. To cover your ears of course! This will be fun!" Inu-yasha stood and followed Mrs. Higurashi to her bedroom closet. She dug out a desent pair of jeans, a red t-shirt, socks ,a pair of sneakers and red and white baseball cap. She directed him to the bathroom and explained through the door how to put the garments on.
She was shocked at how well he looked when he walked out. His face turned as red as the shirt he was wearing when he noticed her staring at him.
Inu-yasha looked in awe as they entered the mall. Kagome's mom walked slowly allowing him to look in every window as they walked past. They soon stopped at a sports store and purchased a new yellow backpack , A new sleeping bag, and many other camping tools. They then went to a clothing store. Kagome's mom spent a long time looking at pretty blouses and dresses. Inu-yasha browsed through a rack and came across a cute maroon dress with short sleeves and buttoned down the middle and tied in the back. He held the dress up in froont of Kagomes mom.
"Oh! Inu-yasha! its perfect!" she quickly paid for the dress and walked out of the store. "Did you want to look around some more Inu-yasha? I'v got all I need so we can go where you want" Inu-yasha face went at little red and he looked at the ground. "Well I was hoping I could get Kagome a present too. I dont have any of that money stuff, but I can work it off." Mrs. Higurashi smiled at Inu-yasha.
"Thats so sweet of you! Ok then, what would you like to get her?"
"Well, Um... I'm not really sure what a girl like her would want...."
"Hmm. Why dont you get her a peice of jewelry?" She replied smiling
"Huh...uh..ok..."
As they walked to the jewelry store Inu-yasha noticed Mrs. Higurashi smiling brightly at him. He stood behind heras she told the salesman what they were looking for. The gentleman brought out a few necklaces earings and rings for them to look at. Inu-yasha picks out a gold heart pendent on a small gold chain. Mrs. Higurashi approved of his selection and showed him how it opened so you could place a small picture inside. She paid for the necklace and put the small box in her purse.
Before leaving she made Inu-yasha sit in a small box telling him to relax and smile. when he came out she was holding a sheet of miniture paintings. she called them pictures. Taking out the necklace she placed a choice picture in the center of the heart.
After they had returned from thier day of shopping Kagome's mom sent Inu-yasha to work painting the minishrine , sweeping the steps, and racking the lawn and many other small chores. After she felt he had more than worked off his dept she told him that he could wait for kagome to get home in the living room. Inu-yasha lay down on the couch and imediately fell asleep.
When Kagome got home she foound Inu-yasha napping. "Bet hes been there most of the day..." she muttered as she walked up to her room. She opened the door and gasped as she found the dress and a small box sitting on her bed. Her mom appeared behind her. "Try it on. Inu-yasha helped me pick it out. He has good tast!" Kagome changed into the dress and admired it in her mirror. "Oh! Mom! It's beautiful!"
She spun around and through her arms around her mom. "Thank you!" Her mom smiled and hugged her back"You deserve it! Your always working so hard at school and in the past putting that jewel together. You needed something nice for yourself. Inu-yasha agreed. He got you something as well." she motioned Kagome over to the bed. Kagome sat down and opened the small box.
" Inu-yasha got me THIS!?! How!" Mrs. Higurashi took the necklace from her and fastened it around kagome's neck. "He picked it out himself and did alot of chores around the shrine to pay off the money I loaned him. Look here." She opened the pendent and showed her the picture inside. Kagome was shocked.
"Ok..Inu-yasha is being really really nice. Whats going on here...." Her Mom stood and went to leave. "I think he just has realy strong feelings for you that he has a difficult time expressing." She left to go pack kagome's new backpack. Kagome sat for a moment. Did she just say Inu-yasha liked me? She walked downstairs and sat on the edge of the couch were Inu-yasha was still sleeping. He must be pretty tired after working all day. She leaned over and brushed a strand of silver hair out of his face. His hand instantly shot up and caught hers. She looked into is deep golden demon eyes.
"Why are you sneaking up on me?" he growled. His gaze soon fell on the necklace and he went bright red. Kagome pushed his hand off hers and stood. He stared at her in amazment. She looked like a goddess in that dress. "Mom told me about the necklace, and that you helped pick out this dress." she said quietly." That was really sweet of you." Inu-yasha stood and walked over to her. " D...Do yoou like it?"
"Inu-yasha, I love it. It's the nicest gift I'v ever recieved. And I'm glad it came from you. That made it even more precious." She through her arms around his neck. He was startled for a moment but soon wrapped his arms abound her and held her to him tightly. She said it was precious. He thought to himself. And now shes hugging me!
"Kagome!" Souta came running around the corner and came to an imediate stop when he saw Kagome and Inu-yasha hugging. He turned around and ran the other direction. "Mom!!!!"
"Uh... We should probably be going. Lets go get my stuff. I need to change before we leave."
"Do you have to?" Inu-yasha asked shyly.
Kagome smiled up at him." I really dont want get this dress soiled with dirt or blood."
Inu-yasha sighed and went to find the back pack. After kagome had changed and came back down to finish packing he noticed she still wore the necklace he had given her. She smiled up at him when she noticed him staring at her. " I just couldnt leave it behind! You ready to go?" she asked as she hauled the heavy pack over her shoulders.
