-1"Inuyasha, can I talk to you? It's really important."
"Sure Kagome."
"not here, I want to talk somewhere private. I think it would be best if we went to my era, there are too many listening ears in this one."
Inuyasha just looks on, not knowing what would be so important to discuss that they would have to leave feudal Japan. He kneels down so Kagome can get on his back. Rushing out of the village, they hear shouts from their friends asking where they are going. Kagome doesn't want to tell them so they keep going to the well. Once on the other side they stop by Kagome's room.
"I just want to pick up something. It's never quiet here with my little brother snooping and grandfather trying to purify everything." Grabbing a black duffel bag that seems already packed they head down to the kitchen.
"Hey Kagome," her mother says. "where are you off too? You just got back didn't you?"
"Yeah. But it was only to pick up a few things. I hope you don't mind, I know I haven't been home a lot in the past month but we've been really busy trying to find those shards."
"It's ok dear, I understand."
"thanks mom. Well we're off now, I'll see you when I get back."
Walking out the door, Kagome has a slight tinge of guilt for lying to her mother. She wasn't heading back to the past just yet. She had something she really needed, or wanted, to do.
"so where are we going Kagome? What did you want to talk about?"
"I'll tell you when we find someplace private to talk. I'll give you directions as we start going. Ok?"
"whatever."
'thank God the well isn't insight of the kitchen window. Who knows what mother would do if she saw us running past the well with the duffel bag. Actually I know what she would think…"
"Kagome! Where are we going?"
"Huh? Oh sorry, I was thinking about something. Take a left at that building and we should be almost there. Look for a little blue building with a pool."
"right."
The run took less than five minutes and to Kagome they were there all too soon.
"Ok Inuyasha, wait here and I'll be right back." Walking into the main building she approaches the man behind the counter. "I would like a room for the night or maybe for a couple. I don't know how long I'll be here."
Giving her a scrutinizing look and deciding if she would be one of 'those' types, he tells her that the room will be forty-five dollars a night and after the fourth night it went down to thirty-five dollars. She hands if the money and heads out towards Inuyasha with the key.
