Chapter 1 I remember you!
** Inu
Undoubtedly it was her smell, that smell that never, even living 2000 years more that I could forget, that smell I had felt for so long and one day suddenly lost, so I thought it was forever.
It was her, I could feel it, but I could not believe it, I had already thought so many times that I would never have her in my arms again, just when I had decided never to leave her, just then I lost her. Sometimes fate laugh in your face, not that it's the first time, my life has always been surrounded by a lot of crap, it was not hard to believe that I would be slapped just when I thought I could be happy.
And yet there it was, I immediately ran to the well, a part of me full of hope and the other completely cathartic thinking that maybe I had gone crazy once and for all. I stretched my arm, not knowing if I would or would not be answered, and suddenly there she was.
It was the same smell, but she looked different, she was a little taller, her features were more defined, I could not say she was an adult woman, no, she was still quite young, but was not the 15-year-old girl who freed me of that damn tree. She was different but it was her, it was my Kagome, the eyes that I dreamed so many nights with seeing again and that I had already realized that it would not happen.
They looked at each other for a long time, as if believing that it was not true, that perhaps it was one of the many illusions of which they were victims, as if they wanted to stop the time, until in unison they said their names and embraced as if they never wanted to let go, a word more than the name of the other that came from his lips.
Inuyasha was not the same either, now he looked more robust, although his face was the same, with that unfortunate genius that could upset even the most tender flower, but it was him, what Kagome thought never to see again but that she never lost hope.
Suddenly Miroku, Sango and Shippo appeared behind them, with surprised faces, as if they had seen a ghost. Kagome! they shouted, this brought the couple out of their little world, who a little reluctantly turned apart. Kagome opened her eyes as if she could not believe it, she had come back, she had really come back! She ran to his friends, hugging Shippo tightly while saying his name, Sango and Miroku patiently waited their turn, knowing that the little fox was possibly the one who had most missed the girl, of course except for the hanyou who looked expectantly behind them.
One by one they exchanged brief words and hugs, Sango and Kagome letting go a couple of tears in the process to find their lost friend and realize the new family that had been created in his absence by the somewhat cautious looks of a couple of twins who watched expectantly for the new black-haired girl who had never appeared before.
Kagome took her time to introduce herself to the twins, she had never been particularly good with children, sometimes she did not even take her little brother very well, but they were almost her family and by God, they were identical to Sango, that made her laugh at the thought of the future that awaited the poor monk in dealing with two small exterminators.
Soon the twins came into confidence and gave a big smile to Kagome, taking one of each hand and walking back to the village, of course not without a very expectant hanyou walking behind the group.
Kagome was welcomed in the village by all her friends and villagers who remembered her, some still saw her as a gift or a miracle that brought back her lost priestess but many others remembered her as the strange girl who fought and managed to eliminate the pearl, bringing peace to the village. After many welcome and a few strange looks, they entered the small house of Sango and Miroku, where Sango with Kagome's help set out to prepare dinner.
Inuyasha stayed on the roof while the rest of the group entered the house, this did not surprise anyone, because they were used to the half demon has always sought his personal space, all except Kagome.

I feel nervous, I was so excited to be able to go back and see everyone, especially Inuyasha, that I did not stop to think that maybe he has already forgotten about me. Let's be honest, it's been 3 years since we last saw each other, and yes we kissed, but it was just a kiss and we did not say anything after that.
And if it was something just at the moment? ohhhh nooo, I just left my family and my time for a boy who may not be interested in me anymore !
No no, I could feel it in his eyes when we met, he missed me, but maybe going back to this time is too much for him, maybe he feels pressured by a commitment with me, I mean, we didn't even talk about it and I'm already here.
He seems distant, a little strange, He has never been very expressive, but I at least expected a few words, but he has not said anything other than my name since I arrived.
- Auch !, all raised their heads to hear the complaint of the young priestess who put his finger to his mouth after making a small cut during the culinary preparations. When they saw the small cut, everyone prepared to lower their heads and return to their respective conversations, if it were not for the sudden blow that the door suddenly opened, showing an Inuyasha with a face of few friends and a little confused.
Kagome turned her gaze to Inuyasha, who looked at her from head to toe, as if looking for damage, until her gaze fixed on his injured finger, which was not bleeding visibly, but was very evident to someone with a sense of smell so sensitive like his. After seeing the small wound his eyes relaxed and turned to another place, as if looking for something, he found an empty space and proceeded to sit next to the monk who looked at him with a disguised smile, after feeling the smell of Kagome blood, he was not thinking on leaving her out of sight.
A confused Kagome and a cheerful Sango returned to their work with dinner, while in the background a brief conversation made Inuyasha's hair stand on end.
- Then... we can tell the girls that the valued hanyou is no longer a single demon, right ?.
- Khe!
- Do not tell me you have not talked to Miss Kagome yet?, The monk continued with a fake surprised face, of course he knew that his friend had not made the slightest movement.
- And what am I supposed to say?- Inuyasha replied, a little nervous, like a cat caught, curious thing for a dog demon.
- Well, it's not my concern, but you will not expect Miss Kagome to declare herself, do you?, I think she maked it quite clear what her reason is for coming back, I do not think it's because of Kirara as much as they get along.
- Heyyy monk, you don't know what you're talking about, We...a...arg, - and turned his face away, as if nobody was talking to him, to which the monk just sniggered, meeting with wife eyes, a little threatening eyes, she had already noticed how he tortured the poor hanyou.
The night continued without major events, all chatted animatedly around the fire while Shippo told happy how he has advanced in his studies and the stories of when the daughters of Miroku and Sango were born, a little of Kohaku and how Rin was now living permanently in the village . Then it was Kagome who told them about how her life had continued while she was in her time, how she finished her studies and how she was about to enter university.
- The institute finished a short time ago, but for some months now they have encouraged us to think about what we want to become after completing basic studies. I thought I'd like to be a nurse or maybe a doctor - Kagome told cheerily.
- Like what Grandma Kaede does? - Shippo asked a bit confused.
- Yes, something like that but with the modern medicine of the time, there is a period of time that is required to study in order to cure many diseases. - Kagome replied to the little fox.
Kagome continued to tell them of her progress in her studies and how her family is doing without noticing that Inuyasha began to ramble.
** Inu **
I do not know what I'm supposed to do, Kagome has not mentioned that she's come back forever, she seems so excited about her new future, about her family and about that strange thing she calls institute.
Maybe he has found a way to temporarily return nothing else, to say her Goodbyes and go back to hes time.
Why would Kagome choose to stay here with me, someone who is neither demon nor human, risk having people reject her and monsters try to kill her like me? Why would a woman like Kagome want to be with someone like me, maybe even someone else already …
- And Miss Kagome, tell us, are you already married or engaged in your time? - asked the monk with a lascivious smile, drawing Inuyasha from his deep thoughts, who suddenly was very interested in the subject.
Kagome blushed at the direct question and at the nature of the subject.
- Oh no! I just finished my studies, I could not be married - she said quietly, knowing that in the feudal era was quite common for a woman to marry after 14 or 15 years old, and she was already of legal age.
- There have been some guys, who have wanted to go out with me, you know, like a date, but I have never found someone special for me there. - she finished her sentence lowering her head slightly to hide the blush of her cheeks.
Inuyasha was relieved, at least no one had stolen his Kagome in the future, that gave him hope, he just had to solve his small communication conflict.
- Inuyasha had several girls after him in the village, but neither of them seems to be good enough - said Shippoo with his head high, as proud of being the possessor of such information.
He had not finished his sentence completely when he was punched in the head by Inuyasha.
- Kagomeeeee ! - Shouted Shippo while caressing his head.
- Khe! You deserve it - Inuyasha said in his usual tone.
- Inuyasha! Sit! - Kagome said in a funny tone.
Inuyasha fell flat on the floor, resounding as it had not been heard for some time and painting a smile on all the participants of the meeting, especially in a miko that thought happy to herself, "I have returned".
