I must say that I don't own or have rights to Inuyasha.
And this is my first piece of fan fiction, so go easy on the criticism.
The characters might seem out of character so don't blame me if they start to act abnormally.
There are some major plot twists in this chapter because I didn't know what other way to open it up. I might explore the ignored plots later and come up with a story with that or maybe I'll incorporate the small stories into 1 big story deal. You never know.

Chapter 1
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The gang was resting by a small clearing near Kaede's village since there was nothing else to do. Everything had become silent since the demons suddenly stopped attacking villages and people as if the Shikon no Tama no longer mattered or existed. It was calm, too calm.
"Something is wrong here but I can't quite put my finer on it." Kagome said thinking out loud.
"You're right lady Kagome" Miroku responded "And I agree, there is never an extended period of peace when the Shikon Jewel shards are still out there waiting to be found. The demons could be preparing for something, but what?"
Everyone in the group was in deep thought about the situation, that is, everyone except for Inuyasha who has decided to go sit by a stream by himself. Kagome decided to walk over and talk to Inuyasha for a while.
"Kagome, you know better than to bother Inuyasha when he wants to be alone" Sango stressed
"Well, he looks lonely and needs someone to talk to or at least be with him."
"But you really should leave him alone." Sango insisted "It's his personal 'thinking/alone' time." making air quotes.
"I know Inuyasha might act like he doesn't want to be around us, but sometimes when I look at him..." she trailed off allowing Shippo to jump in
"You have feelings of love towards him?" Shippo interrupted
"NO!" Kagome turned a bright shade of red and turned her head away so no one could see her face. She continued when her blushing toned down "It just looks like he just needs someone to talk to him, always sitting alone and all."
"Riiiiiiiiight" they responded
Kagome just left it at that walked over to Inuyasha
"Walk with caution" yelled Sango
"What do you want? And why are you walking that way?" Inuyasha said as Kagome approached
"Now is that how you normally greet someone when you talk to them?" Kagome asked
"No, I'm just saying, why did you walk like that when you came over, you afraid of me or something?"
"No" she told Inuyasha as she threw a glare at Sango who was snickering at Kagome.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked trying to strike up a conversation and to take her mind off at what had just happened. "Is anything troubling you?"
After a moment of silence, Inuyasha finally said something "I just miss you whenever you have to go back to your time."
This response shocked her "Wait a second, did he just say that he misses me? That was unexpected."
"Inuyasha, I want you to come with me to my time. Since you seem to miss me every time I go back, I'll take you with me this once if it will make you feel better."
Inuyasha just nodded
"A nod. A good sign, I guess that means he agrees. I thought that he would refuse the invitation, but he accepted. Wow this is the first time Inuyasha agreed to do something with just me. Why has Inuyasha suddenly changed and what made him change? Was it me, just coming over to talk him? "
A hand on Kagome's shoulder snapped her out of her thoughts
"Come on, let's go"
"Alright. Just let me explain to them" gesturing to Sango, Miroku, and Shippo "and we will be on our way, okay?"
She walked back to the others who were watching the whole thing, though they were unable to decide what had happened.
"So, was I right, did he want you to leave him alone?" Sango inquired
"No you weren't right. I'll be leaving now." was all Kagome had to say
They watched Kagome as she started to walk away soon to be joined by Inuyasha. They just gasped, shocked at the fact of the two walking away together.
"Where does she think she is going with Inuyasha" Sango wondered "I am going to ask them what is going on."
She was stopped when Miroku reached out and grabbed her arm
"I would have never thought I would have to tell Sango to do this, but...."
"Sango"
"Yes Miroku?"
"I believe it is best for you to stay out of their business."
"Why should I?" Sango says while trying to escape Miroku's grip "I need to know what's happening."
"You don't need to know every little thing that happens between Kagome and Inuyasha. Also because their business is theirs and you shouldn't be prying into it. Another thing, as a friend of Kagome, you should know better then to bother her and respect her actions/decisions."
She understood this and sat back down
Shippo mentally gasped. "Sango is doing something wrong and Miroku is telling her to behave. And Inuyasha and Kagome walk together to who knows where. Either it's just me, or the whole world has just been turned upside down."

Poor Shippo, he has been left out of the loop.
So, what do you think so far?
Remember, work in progress.
Any R is a welcomed R.
