Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, Shippo, Kirara and Kagome were setting off after defeating Naraku. They had been through a lot to attain the full Shikon jewel. Kouga didn't really seem to mind giving up his two jewel shards to Kagome. Inuyasha suspected that the reason he didn't mind was because he had already taken revenge on Naraku by helping Inuyasha and the rest of them kill him off. There had also been the shard in Kohaku's back. Since it was the only thing keeping him alive it had been even harder on Sango to take it from him. Kohaku understood though so he didn't mind. It was more Kohaku comforting Sango and not Sango comforting him. Inuyasha tried to ignore the awkward glances he was receiving from his friends. He knew they were all wondering what he was going to do with the jewel, they were all just to afraid to ask him. Kagome stopped. The group sent her questioning looks. "OHH WELL." she said.
The group was tired from their battle with Naraku, it had been a hard one. So Kagome suggested that they stop and rest for the night. Kagome and Sango set out to the hot springs to bathe and talk privately. "Kagome...will you leave now...since Naraku is dead, or will you stay with Inuyasha...?" Sango asked. Kagome blushed slightly she had been thinking of what she was going to do after the battle for a long time but never came up with an answer. "I don't know Sango..."
"Well do you want to stay with him?" sango asked with her voice full of concern.
"I...I guess i want to,but i don't know if Inuyasha feels the same way."
"Hmmm I understand"
Kagome, feeling awkward by the silence asked Sango "So what will you do now Sango, now that you have avenged your village?" Kagome saw the confused look etched on Sango's face.
"Well I'm still-"Sango thought about the proposal Miroku had made to her a while back
Sango's face shot up to look in the direction of the camp. "What is it Sango?" Kagome looked in the direction Sango was looking in. The horizon was glowing with a pink light. "What is that?" Kagome asked alarmed.
"We should go see if the others are alright." Sango commanded. Sango and Kagome quickly got dressed and ran off towards the camp. When they entered the camp they found Inuyasha pounding Shippo's head off. "SIT!" Kagome yelled unaware of what had just taken place while she was gone.
"Is everyone alright," Sango started toward them "we saw a bright pink light in this direction" Sango glanced at Miroku's sleeping body. "mm..bare ..children..Sango." Sango's face flushed and she felt her skin heat up. She kicked the slumbering monk to wake him. He sat up lazily and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He looked over at Inuyasha who was digging his face out of the dirt. "OHH WELL" he announced and fell back asleep.
After Kagome was finished sitting Inuyasha she started to ask "So what did poor shippo do to you anyway?"
Inuyasha looked at her angrily "HE WISHED ON THE-"
--
Inuyasha's eyes drifted open to find a white tiled ceiling above him. Then the memories all came rushing back to him. Shippo and the jewel, Kagome sitting him, Miroku being an idiot. He shot up from the bed he was in. "Where the hell am I ?" he glanced at his surroundings. He found he was surrounded by a pink room with stuffed animals and books scattered across the floor. "Kagome's room?" How was he here, he had not went through the well. Then his thoughts were interrupted by shippo's crying, "IM SO SORRY KAGOME." Kagome looked up confused,
"What happened? Why are we all in my room," she didn't remember going through the well and even then Sango, Miroku and Shippo couldn't have passed through the well.
"Shippo what happened?"
"I...I...I...I MADE A WISH ON THE JEWL!" Shippo continued crying. Inuyasha hit Shippo again.
"Inuyasha leave him alone!" Kagome yelled
"Well it's all his fault we are all here in the first place, i think he deserves it.." Kagome shot a evil look at him.
"Ok Shippo calm down, what exactly did you wish?"
"I-"
Kagome and Sango nodded encouraging him to continue.
"I wished that all of us could live in your time be...be...because i didn't want you to leave" he continued to cry.
"Oh my.." Sango said just realizing what had taken place. She glanced at Kagome to see how she was taking this situation. Kagome was just staring at Inuyasha. "Are you," she paused unsure if she should speak or not. "dissapointed Inuyasha ?"
Inuyasha was still looking back at Kagome, trying to find the right words to say to her. "Kagome," he took a step closer to her and took one of her hands in his. "of course not." Kagome had to blink back the tears that were forming in her eyes. Kagome then realized exactly what this means. Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku and even Shippo would need to start brand new lives here. They would need to go to school, get jobs and everything. Kagome wondered if the rest of the group had figured it out yet. She looked around at all of them, feeling a bit uncomfortable, until Miroku spoke up. "Oh my god, do you all realize what this means?!" They all looked at him, Kagome felt a weight lift from her shoulders. "I GET TO MEET NEW WOMEN." he stated, throwing his hands in the air.
Kagome sighed "Figures." she muttered under her breath. Sango walked over to Miroku and punched him in the head. "Pervert! As if they'd want to meet you anyway!" She fumed inches from his nose. "Well well well my dear Sango I never realized how jealous you-OW" She punched him in the head again.
"I am not jealous you lecherous monk!" Sango quickly turned around to prevent the monk from seeing the cherry tint to her cheeks. Sango couldn't let anyone, not even Miroku, know that she had feelings for him. She had been trying to hide it for some time now, ever since she figured out she had these feelings herself. She suspected Kagome had figured it out even before Sango herself had. Besides, even if she did tell Miroku it's not like he would care anyway. He flirts with anything thats got a backside, even after he had proposed to her. It was like nothing had changed at all for him, even though it changed everything for her. "Sango," Kagome spoke up, interrupting Sango from her thoughts. Kagome tip-toed over to Sango as to not draw any attention to herself. Miroku and Inuyasha were currently having an argument about respecting women for Miroku had decided to open Kagome's underwear drawer while 'searching for shippo'.
"uh Sango, you know what this means don't you ?"
"Well," Sango began pondering Kagome's words. "I guess we can't go back so we would have to," Sango's eyes got even bigger than they were after Shippo had made his wish. "Guys," Sango said trying to get their attention.
"SO just because you don't see Shippo for one second you have to go and look in someones personal space, besides you don't see me sneaking in Sango's uh personal you know..stuff!" Inuyasha was yelling
"Guys" Sango said a little louder.
"Whats THAT supposed to mean?! It was an accident, besides if sango kept such sacred items together I have yet to find out about them." Miroku was saying.
"Oh yeah? Well-"
"HEY IDIOTS!" Sango roared catching the attention of the half demon and the monk.
"Yeah?" they questioned rudely.
"If you haven't realized it yet, we are all stuck in Kagome's era and we can't get back into OURS. So if you don't mind shutting up for two seconds so we can figure something out ill gladly help you out."
Miroku and Inuyasha didn't look like they had any intention of speaking again so Sango continued. "Okay, so now lets put our heads together and figure this out." She looked at Kagome
"So Kagome since you an expert on an account of you live here and everything, what should we do?"
"well, were all stuck here and we're not leaving right?"
"Right." Sango confirmed.
"Well, first things first, i need to let my mom know that you all are staying here now. Plus you need to start going to school and we need to buy you new cloths so you'll blend in and everything."
"Kagome? Is that you ?" they heard her mom call from downstairs.
"Yeah mom it's me and-"
"oh good you have visitors!"
"mom wait i-"
"Kagome! Your not sick." her three friends Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi chorused and they walked in her open door.
"Oh...hi you guys...what are you doing here?"
"Well you haven't been to school lately and we missed you, so we decided to drop by!" Yuka exclaimed.
"Oh... who are your friends?" Eri asked curiously
"Oh... these are...well-"
" WELL HELLO LADIES, I'm Miroku, its very very nice to meet you." The three girls looked at him, amazed of how handsome they found him. Sango knocked him over "Hi my names Sango." "HI" the three girls said cheerfully. "Well who's that kid with the fake dog ears on his head?" Ayumi asked. "These are not-"
"Oh well this is Inuyasha." Kagome said nervously cutting off Inuyasha.
"Well why is he wearing those dumb things anyway?" Yuka replied
"I'll show you-"
"INUYASHA cut it out!" Kagome yelled out to him angrily. Inuyasha sat there angrily afraid she would 'sit' him if he kept going. "That must be Kagome's other boyfriend she always talks about." Eri whispered.
"Mhmmm." the other two girls stated, nodding.
"Whats that...?" Inuyasha questioned the statement not knowing what it meant.
"HES NOT, STOP SAYING THAT!" Kagome blushed with embarrassment. "Wait, Kagome...you have a boyfriend?" Inuyasha asked, perplexed.
"Ummmm...well...I can explain-"
"Whats a...boyfriend?" He asked. Kagome just stood there. What was she supposed to say to that? Her friends were all watching her. She couldn't let Inuyasha know that hes the one they were talking about without explaining what a boyfriend was first, and even then he would find out everything and more. What should she do?
