A/N: This is really good fanfiction (hehe, totally got them. It's gonna' be so funny when they find out it's only moderately good huehuehue :{D)

"I'm home!" an energetic Kagome popped her head into the unfamiliar house. It was a weird feeling that had taken her awhile to get used to. To visit a house she had lived in for so long, only to feel detached from it all.

"That's weird…" her brow furrowed as she slipped her time-traveling backpack off her shoulder, a bit miffed on how silent it was. The quiet house was soon forgotten when an ecstatic laugh sounded from the kitchen, followed by indecipherable conversation.

Mom rarely has guests over... What's going on?

Just then her pack bumped something bulky.

"Eh?"

Another bag had taken her usual spot; the suitcase stood by the door, it's busy design nearly giving her a headache. Many of the pockets were packed tight with random-looking objects, clothes and other miscellaneous items spilling past the sides, where the zipper alone couldn't contain them. It could have easily been someone's living room stuffed in there!

"What the?" she trailed off.

Before Kagome could connect all the dots on her own, a loud, tactless voice erupted from beyond the hallway.

"Is that my favorite niece!?!?!?!"

Oh no…

"The fish are done." Miroku informed everyone in the hut, maintaining his usual calm disposition.

"Yippee!" Shippo grabbed one of the skewered fish excitedly, biting into it with a muffled 'yum'.

Sango chuckled along with Miroku as they both unknowingly reached for the same fish. Sango could feel her heart pounding as soon as their fingers brushed, her hand lingering there a moment too long.

Stop blushing! He's probably thinking something perverted as always!

She scoffed weakly, pulling her hand away and steadying her racing heart. She had managed to dampen her blush quite a bit, but she turned her head just in case.

This monk… I never learn, do I?

Shippo was frowning at both of them now, showing especial disappointment for Miroku, who was currently honking the air between Sango and himself.

"You guys are really something…" he mumbled just quiet enough for only himself to hear. Kirara, who was enjoying the fish Shippo had snuck her, purred in agreement.

"Hey Inuyasha, lunch is ready." Miroku called towards the entrance where Inuyasha sat cross legged, his knee bouncing as it always did when Kagome wasn't with them. Miroku smirked in amusement, Inuyasha's ear twitching like crazy. Behind all that anger, they all knew what emotion he was really hiding.

Sango shook her head. His temper was going to get the better of him one day.

"Try to be more understanding Inuyasha, Kagome has a family and responsibilities in her time." Sango explained kindly, casually taking another bite of fish.

Inuyasha hopped up as if he were sitting on hot coals, quick to defend himself, "What do ya' mean I-I-I!!!!"

"Sango is right, Kagome sacrifices a lot to come and help us." Miroku agreed.

"Hmf!" Inuyasha huffed.

Everyone looked up at him expectantly.

"Hm?" they all hummed.

"Hey! Stop looking at me like that would ya'!"

"Like what Inuyasha?" Miroku asked for everyone else.

"I'm-I'm goin' for a walk okay!" with that, he turned and ran off before anyone could think to stop him.

"What a child…" Shippo crossed his arms.

"He seems to really care for Kagome…" Sango gazed through the curtains hanging past the door, brown eyes trained on the red dot growing smaller and smaller against the setting sun, "It almost seems like he's her pet sometimes though." she giggled as everyone nodded their agreement.
