Standard disclaimer applies. I am a poor student, take pity on me.

Chapter 1

"Ja ne!  I'll be back as soon as I am done with finals next week" Kagome shouted over her shoulder at the hanyou who was face down in the dirt as she hopped into the well.

"I said three days, bitch!" he retorted, too late since she had already left.  'If she thinks that she is going to get away with that, then the bitch really is crazy' he thought to himself to try and mend his wounded pride from his lost fight.  After regaining his composure, he got up and brushed off the dirt that clung to him.  Quickly jumping to the nearest tree and settling down, he waited for his lest than subtle traveling companions that had decided to watch the performance that occurred every time the young miko needed to return home.  As their giggling subsided, Inuyasha listened for the sound of retreating footsteps that would signal his freedom from scrutiny.  'Now all that is left is the runt,' he thought, smelling the kitsune still hidden in the bushes.  Knowing that the small yokai was more persistent than the other companions, Inuyasha decided that his best course of action was to distract the kit.  With that in mind, he rolled off the branch that he had been reclining on and made his way over to the well.  'This should satisfy the brat' he thought, taking a deep breath so that he was sure that the kit had seen his actions, and then taking off to a nearby clearing next to a heavily wooded area that was out of range of the kits senses.  Knowing he would follow to try to persuade the older demon to retrieve what he thought of as his surrogate mother, Inuyasha settled down in one of the trees close to the edge of the meadow.  '5…4…3…2…1' he counted down mentally as he waited for Shippo to arrive and start his inevitable nagging. 

"Are you just going to let her go?" the small demon said just as Inuyasha reached one. 

"Feh" he responded, turning his head so that the other would not be able to see the small grin he allowed himself after predicting his counterpart's arrival perfectly.

"You know, she's probably only going to spend time with her friends," countered Shippo trying to play on the inu-hanyou's insecurities.

"Like I would care," knowing the full time what the fox was attempting to do.  "It would suit me just fine if she never came back. Who needs her, anyway?   I can complete the tama just fine with or without her help."  'Hopefully this will shut the kit up.' He thought as he argued with the kitsune, allowing the anger from the thoughts Shippo's words had brought to mind to funnel into his speech. 

"Have it your way, but don't blame me if the never comes back," he responded, evidently fed up with arguing with the stubborn hanyou.  With that, he turned on his heels and skipped off to frolic in the nearby meadow.

'It could not have been any easier than this' Inuyasha thought to himself as he waited for the younger demon to divert his full attention to the plentiful butterflies that roamed the field.  With that he got up silently and made his way back to the well making sure not to leave any trail the fox was capable of following.

As he reached the Bone Eater well, he thought 'If that stupid bitch of mine thinks she is getting away from me that easily, she has another thing coming to her,' and jumped into the well himself.


 Getting off to a slow start, I will try to update as much as possible.

Please R+R and let me know if I have any spelling or grammatical errors.  Unfortunately I am a perfectionist and hate stuff like that.

Thanks!
