Author's Note: I had original began to make this has a funny one shot because my friend quickly made his little one shot romance between Inu and Kagome.

High as a Kite

Chapter One

Mrs. Higurashi walked home happily with her arms full of groceries, the brown paper sacks full of ingredients to bake a lovely batch of brownies for Kagome and her friends in the feudal area. She struggled with the heavy bags up the many stairs to the Higurashi shrine. Finally making it into her kitchen, she gave a sigh of relief as she set her heavy load down on one of the kitchen counters. She began to empty the brown sacks of their contents and organized the ingredients neatly in front of her.

"What are you making, Mom?" Souta asked as he walked inside the kitchen.

"Brownies for Kagome and her friends," Mrs. Higurashi said with a smile. Souta licked his lips and looked at the items his mother had displayed across the counter. He eyed a clear glass, unlabeled jar filled with small green and brown basil-like leaves. "What is this, Mom?" he inquired.

Mrs. Higurashi turned her gaze at the jar Souta was viewing. She smiled before answer, "A nice young man asked me if I was looking for something to add a kick to my cooking," she paused and thought back to the dark-haired man in the long coat, "He said it was a very special herb that went well in cakes."

With a raised eyebrow, Souta nodded and happily ran outside to play.

"Oh, Kagome!" Mrs. Higurashi called for her daughter, running to catch her before she disappeared into the well.

Kagome stopped in her tracks and looked over her shoulder to see her mom. She turned completely around to face her as she spoke, "What is it?"

Mrs. Higurashi handed a wrapped package to her daughter with a smile. "I baked you and your friends some brownies," she answered.

Kagome looked at the package she was being offered and accepted it happily, a smile gracing her lips. "Thank you, Mom," she said gratefully as she carefully placed her mother's brownies inside her bright yellow backpack. She gave her mother a final wave goodbye before picking her pink bike up from the ground and pushing it toward the well.

Inuyasha's nose picked up on the sweet scent of Mrs. Higurashi's cooking. He ran toward Kagome as she shoved her bike out of the well and began to crawl out into the open air.

Kagome saw Inuyasha's happy look as he came running toward her. She smiled and took her backpack off, sitting it on the ground in front of her. She opened her arms for a warm embrace from the eager half demon. Her smile quickly faded to that of a look of annoyance as she realized Inuyasha grabbed her backpack and ignored her.

The half demon quickly opened the backpack and rummaged through, his mouth beginning to salivate over the thoughts of the delicious treats that were held inside.

"Sit!" Kagome shrieked. After she was satisfied with the face plant she felt Inuyasha deserved, she turned away from him with her arms crossed.

Inuyasha immediately jumped to his feet, small patches of dirt covering his chin, nose, and forehead. "What did you do that for?" he asked with demand in his voice.

"Kagome!" came the sound of Shippo's happy voice. He pounced on the raven-haired maiden, receiving a tight welcome embrace.

"So he gets the welcome wagon and I get a face plant?" Inuyasha grumbled, crossing his arms over his chest and turning away from Kagome. He waited for a response which never came. He slowly looked back to see the girl handed treats out to the young fox demon. "Hey!" he shouted.

Kagome closed her backpack and strapped it once again to her back. She ignored the half demon's shouts and began to walk toward the village where her other friends resided. She found the small hut where Kaede resided and stepped inside.

"Kagome!" Sango smiled happily at the sight of her friend, "Welcome back."

Miroku gave the priestess a smile as well, holding a cup of tea. He took a small sip, his hands folded properly on his cup. After swallowing the warm liquid, he spoke over the rim of his cup, "Where is Inuyasha?"

The half demon drew the curtain of the hut aside, stepping inside and causing the monk to sigh.

"I was hoping he had fallen behind." Miroku spoke, still hiding behind his tea cup.

"What does that mean?" Inuyasha demanded, raising a hand and striking the back of the monk's head.

Miroku sighed, his tea cup now soaking his lap. He rubbed the back of his head, "Because of the temper."

Kagome only shook her head and mumbled under her breath at Inuyasha. She kneeled down in front of her friends and brought her bag in front of her. "My mom made brownies for us," she said as she took the wrapped package her mother had given her before she left. She unwrapped the paper that covered the brownies and set them out in front of her. "Dig in!"
