Read Me! – I would like to take this time to point out that I have comprehension problems, dyslexia and spelling problems. I dropped out of college and lost my first job because of this. I'll be upfront with you all. I am not comfortable having people pointing my mistakes out where people can see them it makes me feel no more than an inch and feel as if I am stupid. I don't mind if people PM or e-milling me about them... I would just like some dignity that's all.
I also would like to point out that I do not have any claim to nor own Inuyasha or any of the characters from Inuyasha I am just typing a fanfic about them is all.
"Leave out all the rest"
By Morobutt
Chapter 1
"Do you know the price of love
Do you know the price of fear
If you know the cost of everything
Your love seems too dear
Do you know what it would take
to drive me away
If I've made mistakes
I'm not about to admit them anyway"

It was a nice sunny day in the normal time line when Kagome woke up. She had gotten mad at Inuyasha the night before for being such a jerk and stormed off back to her time. He had hurt her heart this time; Kagome had made such a lovely lunch for the whole group to share but Inuyasha would rather eat a cup of soup then what she made. Kagome had yet to get out of bed; she rolled over from her back to her tummy and cried in to her pillow. Kagome sobs could be heard all throughout the house.
It wouldn't be until late evening till she came out of her room, and even her mother heard her crying but she did not ask what was going when Kagome sat down to eat dinner with the rest of the family. Kagome didn't eat much just a few egg rolls and that was it, and she went back to her room.
In the meantime Inuyasha sat up in his tree his arms folded with a look of Thought on his face. Miroku stepped out from Kaede's hut and looked around for Inuyasha; Miroku spotted him at once in the bare tree and made his way over. Inuyasha knew that Miroku was on his way because his scent was carried to his nose on the wind.
Without even looking down at Miroku he said "I don't want to talk about this right now" and he closed his eyes. Miroku looked up at him and said back "well at least can you go and get Kagome and then maybe we can get back to our Quest?" Inuyasha ears twitched as he listened to the monk. All that Miroku can hear was the sound of hiss coming from up with in the tree.
"Oh come off it everyone knows you like Kagome and you're the only one that can bring her back here" Miroku yelled up at Inuyasha. This was true out of every one in their group only Inuyasha and Kagome can go through The Bone-Eaters Well. Inuyasha would hear none of this and turned his back to Miroku who just gave a sigh and walked back to tell the others that it would be some time before he would go and get her.
After Miroku left Inuyasha, he stood up and looked around to see if Miroku was still hiding in the bushes or behinds the trees. Inuyasha sniffed the air, satisfied he did not pick up any of his comrades scents he jumped down from the tree and ran to the well. Again taking great care to make sure he was not being watched, still he sniffed the air and hopped into the well.
When Inuyasha came out of the well it was night in Kagome times. He quietly walked from the well to the side of the house where Kagome's room is and jumped on to her ruff then on to the ledge of the open window; he popped his head in to find her asleep in bed. Inuyasha sighed and hopped in to Kagome's room not making a sound; the only light in her room besides the moon light from outside was from the clock on her nightstand that read 1:00 am. Inuyasha gave a yawn and walked over to the window to the left of her desk and sat down and folded his arms in to his robe and laid tetsusaiga resting on his shoulder. He sat like this for some time just watching Kagome until he fell asleep.
Kagome woke several hours later she just laid there in her bed thinking of how she left. She rolled over to get out of bed and screamed when she saw that Inuyasha was in her room; Kagome's screams woke him up and he jumped up with his sword drawn ready for someone to go after him. Kagome was mad with anger and her face was red. She went to her dresser next to Inuyasha and grabbed something to put on for the day and walked out of her room. "What a fool… what does he think he's doing?" Kagome asked herself as she went to the bathroom and started a bath. Inuyasha put his sword away and sat down on her bed and waited for her to come back.
Kagome slowly got in to the hot tub; it felt as good to her as she just soaked her aches away from sleeping on the hard ground in the Warring States time. When Kagome came out she walked back to her room and sat down at her desk and went to work on past homework for school. She could hear a voice from behind her speaking to her
"Well aren't you going say anything" Inuyasha asked as he just watched her from the bed.
Kagome turned around and said "why should I say anything to you… why don't you just go back to the others?" she said and she went back to her work.
"Because I can't… not without you" at this time Inuyasha was speaking out loud and did not mean for Kagome to hear this and when he noticed Kagome's face go red as she looked at him his face went red as well.
"Look I didn't mean to hurt… really I didn't; why don't you come back the others miss you" Inuyasha said and 'by other I mean myself' he thought as he got up from her bed.
"Oh I get it I am still dreaming aren't I?" Kagome asked herself as she looked up at Inuyasha.
"No you're not" he said as he moved toward her and pulled her to him. "This is not a dream Kagome" he whispers in her ear and he bent his head down and gave her a soft kiss on the side of her neck.
Kagome was shocked, this wasn't a dream. She wanted so badly to push him away but didn't because it felt right to her. Inuyasha lightly placed his hands on her shoulders and then lightly pushed her back; he looked down in her eyes and said "I am sorry... The stuff you made wasn't bad at all" and when he was done he placed a soft kiss on her forehead and let her go and walked back over to her bed.
"let's go back, I bet Shippo misses me" she said as she walked over to her desk and picked up her yellow back pack, "I'll bring goodies for every one she said as she begin on her way out of her room and down stairs, she stopped next to Inuyasha and patted him on the head and said "and of course some cups of soup for you to" and she walked out of the room humming as she went down stairs, Inuyasha sighed and got up and followed her.
When Inuyasha got to the end of the stairs he could see Sota playing a video game on the TV in the living room. He didn't want to be bothered with him right then so he went on his way down the hall to the kitchen and found Kagome going throw the cabarets. He pulled a chair out from the table and sat down. "Do we really need to bring all of this stuff?" he asked as he saw her turn around her arms full of food and goodies. She didn't say anything but smiled and filled her back pack and said "let's go"
They went out through the side door and where on their way when they ran in to Grandpa, Inuyasha didn't like him much at all. Grandpa always thought he knew everything that happened with the shrine. Inuyasha always thought of him as an old wind bag.
Kagome called out as they reached the well hut "I am going back… I won't be home for a week or so"
Inuyasha's ears twitched as Kagome opened the door to the well. He didn't really want to go back to face the others. He gave a soft short and grabbed Kagome in one arm and used the other arm to steady himself as he jumped in to the well with her. A few minutes later they could hear and smell the area around the well. Inuyasha put Kagome on his back and jumped out of the well; they stopped and rested for a while before going to the village. When they got to Kaede's hut they didn't see any sign that Sango or Miroku where around. They open the door to the hut and found Shippo a sleep next to Kirara and Sango and Kaede making something to eat, but still no sign of Miroku.
"Hay old hag where's Miroku?" Inuyasha said as he walked up to Kaede and her soup pot. Kaede looked up from her pot and sighed at him. "I have no idea where that monk went, why do not use your nose to find him Inuyasha instead of yelling at me" Kaede said as she left the pot to go see Kagome.
Kagome sat her bag down near the door and took her shoes off. She sighed happily seeing Shippo the fox cub a sleep. She went over and picked him up in her arms and holds him close. She did miss the little cub dearly. Shippo stayed a sleep for some time in her arms. Inuyasha had left a bit after Kaede told him to go look for the monk.
Shippo woke well Kagome and Kaede where talking about what had happen between Inuyasha and Kagome the night before. Shippo did not here much of what was said but he was glad to be in Kagome's arms. She was like a mother to the fox cub. Shippo hugged Kagome and ran outside to play without another word. Kagome was sad to see him go but didn't think much of it, she sighed and got up and she too went outside the hut just in time to see Inuyasha dragging the monk back to the hut. "Oh my... what happened, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as she came running up to them. "Oh nothing, this dumb ass thought it would be I nice idea to sleep by himself out in the woods, looks like he was waiting for us" Inuyasha said as he dropped the monk near the door of the hut.
"Inuyasha… can we talk?" Kagome asked
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at her and said "about what?"
Kagome looked at him with a pleading look and he gave in. "oh all right, Shippo we well be back soon" he said and then looked the fox cub in the eye and said in a growl type voice "and that means do not follow us". With that said Inuyasha walked over to Kagome and they walked together till they got to the well. Kagome sat down next to the well and looked up at Inuyasha from where she sat. "Come on have a seat" she said as she patted the ground next to her. Inuyasha sighed and did as he was asked.
"Look I know you 'like' me, why not just come out and say it" Kagome said as she looked the other way pretending to be watching something to her right. Inuyasha was shocked he didn't think she would come right out and say it like that. He blushed and looked down.
"And what if I do… I don't need to say it" Inuyasha said still looking down. Kagome turned around and grabbed him by the hair that hanged by his cheeks and he was made to look at her now. "What did you say?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha looked over to the left and didn't say anything. Kagome sighed "this was a stupid idea" she said as she let go of Inuyasha's hair and stood up and began to walk away. In a moment Inuyasha grabbed her hand, pulled her on top of him "it was not stupid" he said softly as he looked her in the eye, his golden eyes filled of love and lust. Kagome became lost in his eyes she rested her head on his chest and sighed and asked softly "why didn't you just come out and say what you felt about me?" Inuyasha placed his left and on her back and said to her in her ear "because I don't know if where being watched"
Inuyasha and Kagome stayed like that for some time; just laying there. Kagome had falling asleep well listing to Inuyasha heart beat in his chest. He patted her on the head as he sighed softly "this feels so right, I hope we can stay like this forever" he thought as he closed his eye and feel a sleep. Sometime later he woke to find that Kagome had gotten up but her scent was still in the air and was not far from him. He sat up and placed his left hand on the well to steady himself as he got up. Inuyasha sniffed the air as he tried to find Kagome; it wasn't too hard to find her, she left a scent trail as she went. Inuyasha founded her on the other side of the clearing picking some herbs. He walked up to her "which one is that" he asked thinking he had an idea of which herb it was. Kagome picked up the herb's she had picked and placed them in her left arm well taking just one and holding it for Inuyasha to see. "This one is the one that stings all the time when I use it on you" she said as then took it and placed it back with the others. "I'll hang these to dry when we get to Kaede's hut" she said as she stepped pass Inuyasha.
Shippo was had came back from playing and both Sango and Miroku were up and helping out around the hut. Kagome stepped in the hut and went to Kaede's herb drying rack and placed the herbs on it. She came back and sat down next to Sango, Inuyasha on the others had stayed outside.
"We'll be leaving soon Sango" Kagome said as she got up and walked outside with her back pack. She couldn't wait to get going maybe then this feeling that had all of a sudden arose for Inuyasha would go away. She was finding it hard to stay mad at him, and she even felt the need to be with him.
In about an hour they said their good-byes and where on their way. Kagome was walking next to Inuyasha with Shippo on her shoulder; Miroku and Sago where in the front leading the way. Miroku had heard that there was a strong demon aura over on the other side of the west mountain. They stopped for lunch on the way near a stream; Kagome got out the water bottles and filled them as Sango started the rice for the rice balls. Shippo and Kirara where having fun playing tag around the camp site. While Inuyasha and Miroku were out just wondering around trying to find out if there was any danger nearby.
Inuyasha and Miroku came back just in time for lunch. They had rice balls with a stew made from a rabbit that Sango caught. It had been a lazy day so far, they didn't have to deal with fighting off any demons just yet and the group was at ease because of this. When Kagome had finished her lunch she turned Inuyasha and asked "did you two happen to find a hot spring nearby? On your wondering" Inuyasha sighed and said "No but I am sure we can find one by night fall if we get going soon" he looked over at Miroku who just nodded and went back to eating his rice balls.
After lunch the group cleaned up there lunch site and stetted off back on the road. The sun was setting when they decided to set up camp for the night. Kagome took her sleeping bag out of her back pack and placed it near where the fire was going to be. Shippo went to go find fire wood with Miroku and Sango started making her bed to. Inuyasha was the only one not really doing anything he just stood there sniffing air. Kagome came up to him and asked "what's going on? Do you smell something Inuyasha?" Inuyasha ears twitched as he said "I smell water" Kagome's face went from ready to fight to happy in a matter of minutes. "Do you think it's a hot spring" she asked as she tugged on Inuyasha Hinezumi robe.
Inuyasha gave a low growl as Kagome tugged at his robe he was somewhat annoyed at that but made it up to her by saying "I think there is" he then looked down at her and said "I'll be right back" he holed on to his sword Tetsusaiga with his left hand as he used is right hand to move tree branches out of his way as he sniffed it out. Inuyasha jumped up in to a tree near a clearing and could see the spring. It was beautiful; it had a small water fall to the far back and it had nice flat rocks to sit on at the water's edge. The pool of water that was in front of Inuyasha was giving off a slight steam. He smirked as he turned and jumped down from the tree and ran back to the camp.
When he got back Kagome was the only one still up. He walked out of the darkness and in to the fire light in front of Kagome. "I found a hot spring" he said softly "do you want me to take you there?" Inuyasha asked as he walked around the sleeping group members. Kagome smiled and said back to him a soft tone "Yes. I would like that" she got up and took her towels out of her back pack. Inuyasha took Kagome by surprise when he took her hand and started to lead her to the hot spring.
It was now dark out and the passing clouds hid the moon, Kagome could hardly see but Inuyasha could see just fine she thought as she healed on to Inuyasha hand. "How much longer" she asked as she looked up throw the spots in the trees above them, the moon was starting to come out now. Inuyasha didn't look back at her but said in a caring tone "almost there now"
