For those of you that follow me, sorry for not updating Along Came Kagome! I seriously just had a new idea for a fanfic and have had no motivation to update that one. I'm trying to get back into it, but it is gonna take time haha.

Prologue

"Kagome, I don't think you should be messing around with your powers like that. Someone is going to get seriously hurt," Sango scolded the miko sitting next to her on the couch. Kagome giggled. Both her palms had little blue balls of energy swirling about and she had been tossing it in the air. "Oh come on Sango. I'm just messing around," she giggled again as she merged them, causing it to send tingles throughout her arms. Sango rolled her eyes and continued watching television. She didn't want to be the one to say she told her so when something happened. And it was bound to happen.

"If you do something to me I'm going to strangle you okay?"

"Deal."

They sat together for an hour or two before voices could be heard opening the front door. "Inuyasha and Miroku are here!" Kagome jumped up, balls of energy trailing behind her as she skipped around the corner to the boys. "Oi, wench." "Good evening beautiful."

"Sango's watching t.v. in the living room. She's kinda irritated with me right now," Kagome laughed. She turned around to walk back to Sango and Inuyasha nearly jumped out of his skin.

"What the fuck Kagome! Put that shit away!" He stood behind a snickering Miroku, eyes peeking over his shoulder. "Inuyasha, calm down. I'm not gonna hurt you," humor danced in her eyes before adding, "besides, Sango managed to live with it for a few hours." A snort echoed throughout the room. "Yeah, but I still want to hurt you," Sango said sweetly. Kagome resumed her spot next to Sango and the boys sat across from them on the other couch.

Inuyasha's form was turned away from her. Trying to protect himself from Kagome's power while Miroku ogled Sango and Kagome in their shorts. They had been friends since middle school and high school and were now waiting to begin their freshman year at college. He couldn't help but be proud at how they were extremely attractive. They were cute in middle school but damn had puberty done them justice.

He also knew of the sexual tension between Kagome and Inuyasha. They always argued but it was always in the name of love as he liked to put it. Inuyasha really cared for Kagome – though he would never dare to show it. Kagome and Inuyasha both very oblivious to their shared attractions, meant for very awkward situations. Sango on the other hand, knew Miroku cared for her. She always rejected him claiming it was to protect their friendship. But he knew better.

"If you keep on staring at us like that I'm going to fulfill Inuyasha's fear and purify you two on that couch," Kagome said innocently. Her energy ball swirling in her left palm. Inuyasha flinched and glared at Miroku. "Keep your mind out of your dirty thoughts for once before you get us both killed," he growled.

Miroku threw his hands up in surrender. "Now, now Kagome. There is no need for violence. You put that away and I'll mind my eyes to something else," he smiled at her as she eyed him. The ball slowly disappeared into Kagome's hand and with an electric pop it was gone. She frowned mentally. It sure didn't feel like it was gone. Shaking the thought from her head, the group talked about their plans for the evening. Every so often, a buzzing in Kagome's head interrupted her thoughts and she was momentarily left speechless. The other three, being too engrossed in conversation, hardly noticed.

"Kagome, wench, are you even listening to us?" Inuyasha smirked at her. "…What? Yeah I-I'm listening." She blinked rapidly and grinned. "So what are we doing tonight?"

"We figured we were just going to watch movies all night. What else is there to do?" Sango shrugged. "Keh. Did you guys even go out and buy anything to eat before we came over? I'm starving," Inuyasha's voice trailed off as he walked into the kitchen. "Kagome make me some ramen!" He yelled. "Make it yourself! You've seen me make it plenty of times!" She yelled back. Miroku and Sango looked at eachother and shool their heads. "Here comes another argument," Miroku whispered. Sango nodded in agreement.

"Get your ass in here Kagome! What kind of host are you anyways? You can't even cook food for your guests!" His irritation was heard in his voice. They could hear cabinets opening and slamming shut as well as Inuyasha cursing in frustration. "If you break those cabinets you're paying Sango and me for the damages," Kagome warned. He was such a child sometimes. How she ever dealt with it was beyond her. She looked to Sango for support, who quickly diverted her attention to the television. "Don't look at me Kagome. Your problem, not mine," she smirked at her Kagome. Miroku sat back on the couch and watched the situation. Go aid Inuyasha? Or back up Kagome?

Inuyasha stormed out of the kitchen. Ears twitching. Kagome looked up at him innocently. "If you want me to make you ramen, you can ask nicely," she smiled at him. "The hell I will!" Inuyasha walked over to Kagome, picked her up and threw her over the shoulder – glaring at Sango and Miroku as he walked past them to the kitchen. "What the hell Inuyasha! Put me down!" Kagome pounded at his back. "You are such a baby!"

Miroku shook his head and laughed. He was gonna stay out of this one. Sango merely acted as if nothing happened. These were just every day issues that she had become accustomed to. If anything, Inuyasha and Kagome needed the physical contact. Otherwise, their relationship was going to continue moving at a snail pace. "Sango dear, you should allow me to carry you like that. But I believe it would look best if I carried you through a bedroom door," Miroku winked. "Ugh. Don't Miroku," she glared at him – trying her best to hide her smile. That guy was just too much.

Inuyasha set Kagome down once he reached the kitchen only to have his left arm bombarded by punches fired with Kagome's power. Every single hit zapped him ever so slightly. "I. Told. You. To. Make. It. Yourself," she said through clenched teeth. Every word separated by a punch. Inuyasha knew he was maybe over reacting. Just maybe. Although he wasn't going to admit that to Kagome.

If she was any other human her punches would feel like mosquito bites to him. However, punches fueled with spiritual powers hurt a whole lot more. It sent unpleasant shocks throughout his arm. Like he was getting electrocuted over and over again except it never left the confines of his arm. And he didn't like it very much. Kagome stopped punching him and crossed her arms as she looked up at the much taller hanyou expectantly, eye brow raised.

"Well, are you gonna apologize for being an idiot?"

He looked at her. This girl really thought that he was going to apologize? "You're fucking funny you know that Kagome. Have I ever apologized to you?" He smirked when her eye brow lowerd. "That's what I thought. Now I brought you in your own kitchen to make food for me. So get-" he paused.

Her damned blue ball was beginning to emerge from her fist and he was definitely not in the mood to be purified. "…My favorite flavored ramen and cook it… please," he added forcefully.

Kagome smiled. "That's what I thought."

The night wore on and Miroku and Inuyasha decided they were just going to stay over. It was far too late to be driving home. They didn't expect to be so tired either. Sango was curled up on the couch and had already fallen fast asleep. "Miroku, can carry Sango to her room?" Kagome yawned. She was beyond tired. She glanced at the wall clock. It was 3 in the morning. Without a word, Miroku carefully picked up Sango and took her to her room.

Kagome felt the buzzing in her head once more accompanied by little cramps in her lower abdomen. She groaned. "Not tonight Mother Nature."

She looked at the couch the guys were just on. Where was Inuyasha? He went to the bathroom right after they said they were going to stay and he wasn't back yet. She shrugged, too tired to comprehend any difficult thinking. She rose from her comfortable lounging and slowly but surely made way to her room. She passed the bathroom on her way and noticed the light wasn't on but thought nothing of it.

Her bedroom door was barely open and snoring from inside was heard. She crept in. Squinting to see better in the darkness, she saw Inuyasha's form sleeping soundly on her bed. Kagome smiled tiredly. No, she wasn't going to make a fuss tonight. He looked so peaceful anyways. She walked over to the other side of the bed and crawled in. Inuyasha's body heat washed over her – immediately causing her to fall asleep.

So, that was just more of a story setter, hence the title "Prologue"
