A New Beginning to Another Day

by Inuyasha's Love

Chapter II

Inuyasha ran out of the hut, towards the singing kitsune. "Shut up ya twerp!" he yelled, as he slid to a halt in front of the three. He quickly picked the scared kitsune up, flinging him into some distant bushes.

"IETE!!!" he cried as they heard a rather loud thud.

Inuyasha smirked. 'serves him right!' he thought. He quickly greeted Sango and Miroku. "Took ya long enough to return." he stated. He quickly sniffed the air, realizing something wasn't quite right, and smirked at Miroku.

Sango saw this and quickly trying to hide her now blushing face, ran towards the hut. "I'm gonna---say hi to Kagome!" she said, dashing inside.

Miroku chuckled. "Alot has happen since we've been gone." he stated matter-of-factly.

"So you and Sango are finally together, right?" Inuyasha asked, getting a nod from Miroku.

"It's about time." he said, sitting on the ground, as did Miroku, so they could catch up.

~~~*(Kagome & Sango)*~~~

"So you and Miroku are together?" Kagome asked, sitting up to face her friend.

Sango blushed then smiled. "Hai. So...how about you and Inuyasha? I see you're wearing his haori."

Kagome was now the one blushing. She slowly lowered the left portion of the fire rat haori, revealing the mark.

Sango gasped, "YOU'RE his...!"

Kagome nodded. "I'm his mate, although that's one thing we haven't done yet......." 'Thank goodness...I'm not sure if I'm ready to do that.....'

"Wow...and I thought Miroku and I would have the suprise..." she said, rubbing her furry cat demon friend who was curled up in her lap, purring softly.

Kagome giggled, and then her expression turned to one of seriousness. "One good thing about it-We won't be bothered by Kikyou anymore." she said, looking at Kirara.

"Nani? You guys finally put an end to her?" Sango asked.

"Hai...she asked me to."

"How in the world did you get her to do that?" Sango tried to control her suprise. Even Kirara looked at Kagome now.

"Inuyasha showed her that he didn't love her, and she finally beleived it in her heart....after she nearly tried to kill me. That's why I'm resting here."

"Oh...and the paper around your head?"

"It's a bandage. When Inuyasha came to my time, we had an unwanted visitor-Hojo, who tried to kiss me."

"Oh?" Sango said, listening more intently than before.

Kagome continued. "Hai, but I bit his lip, then he dropped me to the ground, causing me to knock my head on the cabinet."

"I see." she said, placing Kirara on the floor.

"You see what?" Miroku asked, walking in with Inuyasha and Shippo.

"Why Kagome has the bandage on her head."

"Oh....why does she have it on her head?" Miroku asked, looking puzzled at the three of them.

Kagome sighed, and sped through the last part of her and Sango's conversation.

"Oh." he said, "Are you okay?"

"I'll be fine...I just need to rest a few days." she said, laying down and accidently moving the blanket uncovering her leg.

'What beautiful legs..' Miroku stood there, grinning from ear to ear, until Sango reached up, slapping him accross his face. "HENTAI!!"

Inuyasha sat down by Kagome, covering her leg and glaring at the lech who took a moment to snap out of his daze.

"Gomen-nasai." he said, rubbing his cheek.

"Kagome needs her rest." Inuyasha said, glancing at Kagome who was now laying down on the futon. "And we are going to let her, aren't we?" he said, glaring at the three of them. Shippo had hidden inside Kagome's pack.

"Hai." they said as they left the room. Inuyasha sniffed the air, and opened her pack, pulling out the kitsune.

"HEY!!!" he shouted, scrambling around in Inuyasha's grasp, "Put me down!"

Inuyasha walked towards the door, setting Shippo down and closing the door behind him.

~~~*(Outside)*~~~

Inuyasha growled at the kitsune, causing him to be still. "Kagome needs her rest, don't disturb you or I will let Kouga's wolves have you for dinner...or should I say a snack."

"Y-you wouldn't do that, would you Inuyasha?" Shippo asked, eyes bugging out of his head.

"Hai. And if you go screaming Kagome's name telling her I threatened you, you're not going to see her for a while." he smirked. 'I know I'm being a little bit more cruel than usual, but she does need her rest-and privacy. Alot has happened.'

"Hai Inuyasha, I'll leave her alone. Promise. Now put me down. Dozo?" Inuyasha slowly lowered him to the ground, and he quickly ran out of his reach.

~~*~(Inside)~*~~

Kagome laughed, hearing the commotion and knowing that Inuyasha would do no such a thing. He may seem that cruel, but deep down, he wasn't.

She reached down into her unzipped pack and pulled out a small green book with gold writing on the front, saying 'Kagome's Journal'. She opened the small book, and grasping the matching pen that lay inside, began to write.

It's been almost two weeks since I have written anything, but I do remember the just of what I wrote last time. I wished for Inuyasha to come to my world, just to see what it was like. I wanted to be able to show him things that I couldn't take back to his time. Well, it really happened. It was like, the gods already knew what I was wishing, and decided to grant my wish. It was rather fun. We went to the arcade, the movies, then shopping- which is where it went down hill. In the middle of the store, Inuyasha collapsed from appendicitis. The cops were such bakas that we had some trouble, but we came out fine-as I knew he would. THEN Hojo came along-Oh joy! (NOT!) At least he finally knows I have NO interest in him WHAT SO EVER. I think Inuyasha sort of got that through his head for me. At my house, it was-interesting. I woke up in the middle of the night, and heard Inuyasha saying he loved someone-I thought it was Kikyou, but it was-ME. I found that out only after I embarrased myself, but I also told him I loved him too.... Finally, Kikyou drug me from my time back to the fuedal era. I guess although she no longer has the Shikon no Tama, she could still make it through the well. But we don't have to worry about her anymore. She realized Inuyasha loved me, when I showed her the mark signiffying that I was his mate. It really has been a fascinating and very busy past few days.

With that, she sighed, and closed the little green book, placing it back inside her bag. She then laid down.

"Kagome?" came Inuyasha's low voice. "Can I come in?"

"Of course." she smiled, sitting back up.

"I know you were sort of pressured into this 'mate' thing, so...." he started to say, looking down at his feet, arms folded across his chest.

"So what?" she said, looking at him confusedly.

"...So if you don't want to be my mate, you don't have to."

Kagome was somewhat stunned by his words. Not by the fact he knew what she was thinking, because he didn't, but she felt somewhat rejected.

"Inuyasha, are you saying you don't want me?" she said in a soft voice, lowering her head.

"NO!....No, what I am saying is..I don't want you to do or be something if you don't want to. I'd never intentionally pressure you into doing anything like that."

Kagome sighed in relief, then sat up, pulling her body out from the warm blanket, with her hands forming around his handsome face, turning him to look eye to eye with her. She could feel Inuyasha tensing up.

"Inuyasha, I'm the one who told you to do it aren't I? If I didn't want it, I would have tried to figure out some other way to make Kikyou go away." she said, kissing his cheek.

Inuyasha returned her embrace by encircling her waist with his arms, pulling her tight unto him, kissing her passionately.

When they finally broke free from eachother's embrace, Inuyasha lay Kagome back down to rest. "I love you." she whispered.

"I love you too," he said, kissing her one last time then laying down beside her.

A.N.: So what did you think? Was it good? Was it long enough? I sure hope so because my hands are tired...^-^'

Anyways, I should have another chapter tomarrow. I'll try to make the chapters longer than the first ones in A Day in the Human World, but the story long enough to cover 30 chapters as well.

Enjoy!
