Okay, this is my first finished oneshot. Sorry, but I have not put in a lemon. It didn't seem to fit in any way. If you guys think its good though, I might add more. Flames welcome. (Though not too hot! Please! Critiques are better.)
Enjoy!

Kagome sat down and waited for the DVD player to load the DVD she had recorded over the past two weeks she had been through the well. Luckily, it had not suffered any damage. Though, she was slightly nervous to see what was on it since she had given each person a little while on the camera and some (mostly Shippo and Miroku) decided to take the camera away for an hour at a time, until she found them and took it away.
The screen glowed blue for a moment, then to be replaced by a view of a large, shining meadow, with a younger version of the Goshinboku in the corner.
"Hello! Kagome, here in feudal Japan. Mom, Grandpa this is what the tree looked like 500 years ago and over there--"
"Oi, about time you get back, I was about to… what's that piece of junk?" Inuyasha's voice also came into hearing and the camera flipped around to show Inuyasha on the screen.
"Hi, Inuyasha. This is my mom's video camera. It records things so we can see them later on my TV. Mama asked me to record all of my friends so she could meet them in some way. She also wants to know a little bit about what we do. So, let's try to take care of this camera. Please?"
"Keh, just don't take it out during battles or anything. You already have trouble shooting on target."
"What?!" then the screen shook slightly and was placed at such an angle that it showed both of them shouting at each other and inching their red faces closer together in rage, "I do hit them and you know it!"
"Yeah, right! What about with the crow; might I remind you that it is your fault that we are looking for jewel shards instead of the whole fucking jewel!" Inuyasha's face was now twisted into a smirking, hinting his victory.
"It was my first shot! Of course it wouldn't hit, you jerk! Sit!" The kotodama necklace glowed for a moment and then a cloud of dust appeared where Inuyasha had stood.
Kagome on the screen and on the couch both sighed and then the one on the TV approached the camera and said quietly, "Sorry, you had to see that mama. Oh, well. He deserved it."
"I heard that!"
She sighed again, and the screen switched to a new scene. It was Kaede's small hut, completely full of smiles and laughter.
"Okay guys, it's on. Now, remember when I point it to you, say who you are and tell my mom a bit about yourselves."
The screen first showed Miroku. He took that opportunity to declare love for Sango and he asked about Kagome's mother's marital status. It was ended quickly by a large boomerang hit to the head. With that sign, The screen moved to show Sango, who blushed at first and then mentioned her search for her brother. After it showed that she had begun to relax, a hand appeared at the bottom of the screen, followed by a quick warning from Kagome, that led to an even faster slap by Sango. While she reprimanded Miroku for being a hentai, The screen moved again to show Shippo. He quickly mentioned how Kagome was like a mother to him, and how much Inuyasha was a jerk to her. Receiving a fist to the head, courtesy of the latter. Those two also began to yell and fight, so the camera was quickly moved to show Kaede. She said little about herself and mostly agreed with the previous comments made by Shippo. Leading the whole hut into arguments.
Kagome herself then appeared on the screen, an apologetic look upon her face, "Well, that's everyone. I umm--Inuyasha, let him go-- gotta go! Bye mama!"
"What? I don't get to say anything?" Inuyasha yelled, in the midst of the yelling.
"No. They see you all the time!" Kagome reached behind the camera.
"That don't mean I got nothing to say!" And the scene changed again to a campfire in the middle of the woods.
"I think I got it to work. The light is blinking red like when we were in Kaede's. Now, to find Inuyasha." Shippo's voice surprised Kagome slightly, but she watched intently now, sitting on the edge of her seat.
The screen showed a variety of plants rushing past the camera, indicating movement. Kagome was impressed, he handled it well and even turned on the night vision. Accidentally, but at least he didn't--
"Oops." the camera fell and showed Shippo's face for a moment, "I hope Kagome doesn't notice the scratches."
Looking back now at the camera next to her, she focused on the one scratch that had not come out from the dirt, next to the lens.
She focused on the TV again, and now it was at the nearby hot springs they had bathed in that night. Kagome noticed that they were all asleep by the campfire when Shippo ran off with the camera. Inuyasha wouldn't really be elsewhere, would he?
Inuyasha's soft whisper barely reached the camera and everything became still on the screen. "Kagome… I… okay, don't be a such a coward you've done harder things than this, baka. I want… I want you to stay with me, Kagome. I feel better when you are with me. And…I… I lo--I smell a fox."
Shippo yelled and then was suddenly picked up. A very irritated hanyou showed up on the screen, very red and slightly disheveled.
"What are you doing here, runt? You're supposed to be asleep. And… Is that thing on? How long have you been here?"
"Uhh, uhh, no… I just got here. I didn't turn it on. I swear!"
"No one better hear any of this, you understand? Or else you will have such a beating that not even Kagome could help you with."
"I get it Inuyasha! Honest, it's not even on!"
The hanyou on the screen seemed to relax and let the miniature cameraman go, somehow pushing the Power button on the way down, so the sight changed again.
This time, it seemed to be mid-afternoon, and Miroku showed up in front of the camera.
"This light turned on, just like Shippo told me. But is it supposed to be this red color, or green?"
However, he didn't get as much of a chance with the machine as its earlier user, as a figure in crimson stepped in behind Miroku.
"What are you doing with Kagome's cama? Did you steal it, monk?" Inuyasha's voice was, again, a threat, as it seemed to be the weeks she had the camera around.
"Nothing, Inuyasha. As a matter of fact, I was looking for you, so that you could take it to her," Miroku shook himself from his fright it seemed he was trying to pin the fault on Inuyasha.
The screen shook a little and the monk was seen running away from a corner of the TV. It was quiet for a while, nothing else showing up or moving for about a minute. Then it moved quickly, a voice coming through with random whispers.
"Is this thing on?…No way would the perv find a way to turn this on… This might be able to help me practice though. It's not working right now, anyways."
Amber eyes showed up on the screen, taking it over and burning with intensity. They looked down for a moment, looking as though he was fighting an invisible enemy. Only lasting a minute however, as they looked up then and doubled in fierceness.
"Kagome, you are the only thing that matters to me now, and I have no idea what I would do without you…I… I think I love you," he paused, closing his eyes, following with a loud snort.
"I sound like a damn fool. She wouldn't fall in love with a half-breed… she's too good for that…"
The screen changed again this time, but Kagome lost interest. Colors flickered in front of her eyes, but they meant nothing while she got lost in her own thoughts. She stiffly turned off the DVD player and was still, no longer caring about homework and what the rest of the movie showed.
A noise sounded outside, very light and oddly like footsteps. It transformed to the front door opening, and Inuyasha stepped into her line of sight, a scowl gracing his features.
"If you're just gonna be sitting there looking like an idiot, then why did you come here, wench?"
Her face looked as though she had never seen him before, and she whispered unsteadily, "Do you really love me, Inuyasha?"
Blushing a deep shade of red, he looked oddly guarded and embarrassed, but responded quickly, "Who told you some stupid shit like that?"
"You did… on the camera. It was on…"
He looked away quickly, staring down at the floor. Silver hair shielded his face from Kagome's view, and it was apparent there would be no response.
The couch now felt too far away from him, and she stood, inching her way slowly to him, and stopped when he flinched at the touch of her hand. Now barely noticing her random action, she tried to make him look at her, by pulling his hair to the side.
"You may just think that you do… love me. But I have known how much I cared for you for a long time," he sneaked a glance at her eyes now, stunned by the sincerity and true sentiment in the chocolate eyes.
He spoke in monotone, trying to force the emotions back, "Keh, They're just stupid feelings. They don't matter."
"But they do to me," she surprised them both and pulled his lips to hers shyly.
His lips were soft, much different than his hands, she compared unconsciously as he picked one up to cup her cheek and hold her to him.
The kiss became daring rapidly, now knowing how the declarations on both their parts were taken. He used his tongue to lick her lower lip in permission, wasting no time when she obliged and opened her mouth to let him enter. They explored each other mouths so carefully, almost committing every detail to memory.
Parting the kiss slowly, they each missed the feel momentarily before their minds demanded explanations.
"So, do you still want to go away with Kikyo? You can't have us both, and you know it," Kagome asked politely, trying to avoid letting him know how much the question hurt her.
"Keh, no. Didn't you hear me on the video, wench? I said you. Not Kikyo. I care for her, but only because she was nice to me for a while. I thought I, umm, loved her, but not anymore." He paused thoughtfully, trying to decipher what her answering sigh meant, then continued with a question that plagued his mind occasionally, "What are you going to do about Kouga, or Hobo? You like them, don't you, wench?"
"No, Kouga is too forward. And I… never liked him as more than a friend. And Hojo is a bit boring. You are more exciting sometimes," She giggled, enjoying how he also got a bout of jealousy when she was around the opposite sex.
"What's so funny, wench?"
"Nothing, just how much I love you."
"That reminds me… we should get rid of that cama. It doesn't work."
Kagome frowned, "What's wrong with it?"
"I think Shippo taped me…," Inuyasha blushed and looked downward again, avoiding looking into her eyes.
"Oh, I already saw when he caught you trying to tell me you--."
"That's not what I'm talking about. Can we just destroy the 'disc'?"
