The day started like any normal day, Kagome woke to hear Inuyasha and Shippo shouting at each other and Miroku laying on the ground, a lump on his head, Sango holding her weapon in the air, as if waiting to whack the monk again. Kagome sighed as she yawned and stretched.
"Kagome!" Shippo ran and jumped up onto her shoulder. "Little runt! No hidding behind her this time!" Inuyasha shouted as Shippo stuck out his tongue. "Shippo, if you're going to play, play fair." Shippo looked up at her and sighed then nodded and took off, Inuyasha on his heels. "That doesn't mean you can hit him!" "Yeah, yeah!" Kagome sighed and smiled as she watched them. She turned to Miroku, "When are you ever going to learn?" "Why whatever do you mean?" Kagome smirked, "Nice lump you have on your head." The monk sighed, "She woke up a little too early." "I guess you will never learn...ha...wish I had that problem..." "Well...you could..." "Want a black eye to go with that lump?" He put up his hands as if to protect himself, "You misunderstand, I meant Inuyasha." "Oh? How do you propose I do that? Hm?" "Easy, you make the first move," "I'm not like that!" "True, but perhaps a new outfit? One that will make him melt?" "Hm...that might work, and it's not a bad idea, I am out of school now."
Kagome stood and smiled, "Thanks for the advice, now, you may want to learn from your mistakes," "True enough." Kagome snuck out of the camp without Inuyasha and Shippo seeing or noticing. Even Shippo would come barreling at her and with him would follow Inuyasha, then she'd have to stay. "Hm...coast is clear! Good! 1, 2, 3, and Go!" She made it to the well and looking around jumped into it, and blushed as the magic caught. Would this work, she asked herself. Inuyasha had seen her in her bathing suit before, and she didn't know if he'd been aroused by it or not, if so he didn't act like it. "Ha...will this actually work? If so...just how well?" She was timid about the subject, as she climbed out of the well.
"Huh! Whoa! Wait! The magic caught! I felt it! So why...am I still here?" Kagome sat on the edge of the well and looked around. Trees, bushes, and flowers. No concrete, no skyscappers, no cars and no shrine. "What just happened?" Suddenly she heard voices.
"Shikon no tama? What is that sister?" "A very special jewel, Keade. One that must never fall into the hands of demons or those that would do wrong with it." "Are there humans after it too?" "Yes, I am going to be going on a journey in a few days, to go to the village of the demon slayers to pick it up, for I am to guard it." "Thats sounds like a very big job." "It is, but one that must be done all the same." "Hm, be careful sister."
Kagome was in shock, here she was listening to a conversation between a very living Kikyo and a younger, much younger Keade. "This is unreal! This must be before Naraku...set the trap..." She had hear that Kikyo was going to be making the journey to the slayer's village. "Thats where the jewel originated from...hm...the jewel...that was what brought Inuyasha and Kikyo together in the first place..." Kagome smiled, "I know where the slayer's village is! I'll go and take on the duty." Kagome had decided that she'd go to the village as of that moment and being very careful so as not to be spotted hurried out of the area.
Kagome walked along the road that led to the village, thats when she noticed that she was being followed by a young monk. "Hm? Who is this guy?" The man came right up to her and with a flash of a smiled grasped her hands. "Oh great!" "Dear maiden, you are lovely, this fine day." "Thank you...um may I ask your name?" "Of course, I am Miyatsu," Kagome smiled somewhat. She'd figured that out when he'd grasped her hands. "A pleasure meeting you kind monk." "Pleasure is all mine, now what is your lovely name dear beauty?" "My name is...Kagome." "Kagome, beautiful, just like the woman it was given to." Kagome had to admitt that was sweet.
"Are you traveling alone?" "I am, unless you'd care to come with me," "It is always much nicer traveling in the company of a beauty." "I'll take that as a yes." So Kagome and Miroku's grandfather began traveling together, and soon reached a hot spring.
"Oooh! I just love hot springs!" "Indeed," "No peeking." "My dear, I am a monk..." "I've heard that one before! No peeking!" "Ha...you are a wise one for a young maiden, Kagome." "Thanks, now go back to the camp, you lecher." Once Kagome was sure that he'd left her alone, she stripped down to nothing and slipped into the water.
"Hm...aah...perfect. I love being in the middel ages..." Suddenly she heard rustling in the bush. "Hm...like grandfather like grandson..." She picked up a rock and chucked it into the bushes and heard it connect with something.
"OWW!" "Huh! Thats not Miyatsu's voice...Who's there!" Kagome was in a state of panic, until she saw the famous doggy ears and silver hair. "Ow! Wench! What'd you do that fo..." He whipped around to face the bush. Kagome took this time to wrap a towel around herself. "Um...you can look now...Inuyasha." "Ah...sorry for...hey! How the hell do you know who I am? Uh..." She ran into his arms, though she knew he knew nothing about her, she couldn't help it. She loved this man far too much.
"Who are you?" "My name is Kagome, and I love you Inuyasha." "What! Wait! I just met you!" "Oh, but I've known you for a very long time. You long to become a full demon like your half brother Sesshoumaru right?" "How...are you phsycic or something?" "No, no, like I said I love everything about you, especailly you're being a hanyou." "Okay, you've lost it girl..." "Why? Cause no one is supposed to love half demons?" "Well..." "My dear, I am not like most humans, and I love you." "I...ah..." Kagome smiled brightly and noticed the tinge of red on his face. "Travel with me, dear Inuyasha, please?" "Why?" "I want you to see that being a half demon isn't as bad as you believe." "Oh really?" "Mhm, course, I'm not one, but I've seen many before and it makes me so sad to see the way that they are treated, it makes me sad thinking about how you were treated..." "Feh! I'm no weakling!" "I know you aren't...will you come with me?" "You alone?" "There is a young monk who travels with me as well...so would you?" Kagome could see that he was thinking about it. She smiled, if she couldn't have him thanks to Naraku, then she'd take him now.
Suddenly Kagome remembered Miroku's family curse. Naraku would show himself soon, and with Inuyasha's help they'd protect Miroku's family from such a horrible curse. "I suppose, I have nothing better to do anyway." "Really? Great!" "Hey! Okay! One thing! No latching onto me! Got it?" "Ah...okay...is hugging alright?" "I...suppose...hey!" "Hugging."
