These are just one-shots that the plot bunnies have demanded that I write. They happen sometime within/after 'Change the world'. They are in no particular order and I will specify when they happen.

Her feelings

Scene:

Happens after Naraku's heart attacks the darkness in Kagome's heart and she is in her time recovering.

Kagome is doing school work in her room while Yugi keeps her company. Kagome is unaware that Inuyasha is sitting on the roof above her room and is able to hear every word that is said.

"I hate schoolwork" Kagome said as she tried to complete the massive amount of makeup schoolwork that she had been given.

"Then why do you do it?"

"You know I have to" Kagome said.

"Kagome, why do you continue to do your school work when you are so far behind?" Yugi asked, staring at the mountain of papers in front of her.

"You know why Yugi" Kagome answered him, not lifting her head from the papers in front of her.

"Ok, well how do you feel about Inuyasha and what might happen?" Yugi asked.

On the roof, Inuyasha listened carefully as Kagome began to talk. It had been Yugi's idea for him to come back and sit above Kagome's room while he got her to reveal her feelings about him.

"I know that when the quest is over, Inuyasha will go with Kikyo, Sango and Miroku will get married and the well will close leaving me trapped in one of the two times, not really belonging in either of them" Kagome said, sighing.

"What makes you think that Inuyasha will go with Kikyo?" Yugi asked patiently. "How do you know that she isn't already dead?"

"Because I know that he still loves her and what happened recently proved it" she said quietly. "And also, I don't feel completely whole either."

Inuyasha blinked when he thought about the last few days and how Kagome's words rang true. Even when there was evidence that she was no longer alive, he would still go to Kikyo, and he didn't even know that Kagome knew that part of her soul was missing.

He was cut out of his thoughts as Yugi voiced his next question.

"And how do you feel about Inuyasha going to Kikyo?" he asked.

"I get sad and frightened every time he goes to Kikyo…" she said softly." I'm always afraid that he won't come back one day, because he'll have already gone with her to the afterlife, without even saying a word." Kagome sniffled a bit, but continued. "And I'm jealous of Kikyo. She's so much stronger than I am and everyone compares me to her, and it hurts know that Kikyo will always be better than me."

On the roof, Inuyasha's eyes widened as he heard her confession, he had never known that, that was how she felt about him and Kikyo.

"And you are ok with that?" Yugi asked disbelievingly. "Even if it makes you unhappy?"

"Why would it make me unhappy?" Kagome asked, finally raising her head to look at Yugi.

"Because you love Inuyasha" Yugi said bluntly, surprising both Kagome and Inuyasha. Kagome because she hadn't thought anyone else knew about her true feelings and Inuyasha because Kagome didn't try to deny it like she would any other time when Sango, Miroku or Shippo brought it up.

"It doesn't matter because it's obvious who Inuyasha has chosen and besides, I'm just a jewel detector and only a replacement for her" she said, sighing.

"Don't sell yourself short Kagome; I'm pretty sure that Inuyasha thinks of you more than just a shard detector or a friend. If he only wanted a shard detector then he would have gone to her much earlier and you're more than a friend to him because whenever you're captured, he won't let anyone else rest until you're safe and sound" Yugi said, reassuring her.

"But...He still goes to her without any thought to the rest of us" Kagome said.

On the roof, Inuyasha's ears drooped as he thought of how true that was and resolved to think of the other's in his pack rather than just himself in the future.

"Yes, but he is hesitating more and more now and when that priest told him the lie, he physically hesitated and if you hadn't said anything, he might not have gone at all" Yugi said.

"He still might have though" Kagome said.

"He also might not have" Yugi retorted.

"Yeah...maybe" Kagome conceded as she finished one subject of homework and moved onto another.

"Kagome, dinner" her mother called later.

"Are you coming?" Kagome asked, turning to face Yugi from the doorway.

"No, I'll eat with the others tonight if that's ok?" Yugi said as Kagome shrugged and headed downstairs.

Yugi waited another few minutes before flying out the open window to where Inuyasha sat, shock on his face.

"Did you find that enlightening?" Yugi asked, temporally startling the hanyou who had been so lost up in his thoughts that he hadn't even heard Kagome leave her room to go eat.

"I never knew she thought of me like that" Inuyasha said as he looked at Yugi.

"You really didn't have a clue?" Yugi asked.

"I had some thought that she might like me more than a friend but I had never even dared to hope that she loved me" Inuyasha said, staring at him.

"Well she does and has even since that little incident after you beat Juromaru and Kageromaru" Yugi said as he remembered the correct event.

"The one involving Kikyo?"

"Yes"

"Oh" he said, his eyes looking even guiltier than before. "Hey, could you do me a favour?"

"What is it?" Yugi asked.

"Could you..." As Inuyasha explained his idea, Yugi's grin widened with happiness.

"I think I could do that, when do you want it completed by?"

"Can you do it in about six months?" Inuyasha asked. "Before the day of when she unsealed me from Goshinboku?"

"Yeah, I'll have it done by then" Yugi said as he flew out the window and into the well house to complete what he had promised Kagome earlier and to go and eat with the rest of their strange pack.
