It has been 7 years sine the day Kagome was pulled through the well, landing her 500 years in the past. Since then she has traveled along side her companions searching for the shards of the jewel she shattered. During that time she came to terms with the fact that her and inuyasha would never be together and thet what they felt for one another was more of a bond between best friends or siblings, not a romantic one. A little over a year ago Sesshomaru, jaken, and rin joined the group in the mutal intrest of destroying Naraku. Kagome discovered the longer they all traveled together, the more he was opening up to everyone, and that at times, he could be just as much of a hentai as miroku could. This left her red as a tomato, for when he decided to let the more perverted side of him show, it was directed at her.

Kagome sat in the shade of a tree just outside kaede's village thinking over everything. The jar at her neck contained the nearly whole shikon jewel, minus the few shards that naraku possesed. That was the reason she sat alone thinking. Everone had worked together to come up with a plan to take down Naraku once and for all and, after years of blood, sweat, and tears, complete the jewel once again. Her mind wandered to the members of the group.

Inuyasha, her obnoxious best friend.

Sango, her sister in all but blood.

Miroku, the pervert with a great heart.

Shippo, the son who found her.

Rin, the sweetest little girl she has ever met.

Jaken, the annoying but loyal toad.

And last but not least, Sesshomaru. It was him who made her mind whirl. Over the past year she has gotten to know the stoic demon lord, and had been on the recieving end of his oddly perverse nature. She cared about, more than she has for anyone else. But alas she was human and knew he would never truly feel for her the way she did him. Her eyes wandered to the bottom of the hill where shippo and rin were chasing kirara. She smiled to herself as she watched them laugh, youn and carefree.

"Whats up with you?"

She was slightly startled by the voice but looked up to see inuyasha squating on one of the branches above her.

"Oh nothing just lost in my head." She looked at the children again and leaned back against the tree. Inuyasha dropped down and sat beside her.

"Cut the crap I know you better than that. So whats going on." He pinned her with a look that said he would push until she talked. She let out a deep sigh.

"I think...I might have fallen for your brother."

His eyebrows shot up.

"Sesshomaru?"

She nodded. He leaned back and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Eh you could have fallen for worse."

This time her brows shot up.

"What?"

It was true the brothers had smoothed out some of there issues... somewhat. But she expected a diffrent reaction than this.

"Hey im not saying hes great 'cause he still a bastard, but it seems like he likes ya too. And at least he would be able to protect ya if im not around to do it."

"Hey im not completely deffenceless."

"I didnt say that but you sure do seem to get into alot of trouble."

She turned her head away and huffed. Kagome realized she over looked what he said to her.

"You and I both know he doesnt like humans, why would you think he likes me."

"If really hated them, why would he keep rin around? He even has been trying to get along with me. Just think about. Anyways kaede wanted me to tell you foods almost ready."

She watched as inuyasha stood to dust himself off and make his way back into the village. After a few more moments of letting it all roll around her head she got up to make her way back, gathering the kids on her way.
