A Few Hours Later

"Kagome are you ready yet" Inuyasha asked impatiently on her bed

"Hey Inuyasha I have a question…"

Kagome turned around to face him and waited for him to say something, Inuyasha just sat their more impatient then ever, Kagome sighed and carried on.

"You can still smell Haruhi and her friend's right?

"Yeah of cause I can"

"So say if I wanted you to follow one of the scents you could?"

Yeah.." Inuyasha said raising his brow

"That's good to know"

"Kagome what's goin on?"

"Oh nothing" Kagome laughed nervously

Kagome continued to walk around her room slowly packing what she would need in the feudal era, when she was done with this she got out her new school bag and emptied it on her floor.

"Are you ready now?"

"Not exactly…"

"What's up with you, you're acting... strange"

"What would you say to staying here for one more night?"

"No way in hell, I waited 3 days already; do you want Naraku to get the shards?"

"NO! How could you say a thing like that! Did you ever think about my life here or do you only care about the jewel?"

Inuyasha stayed on Kagome's bed looking at her shocked by her sudden outburst, Kagome started to calm down and her eyes stared to glisten in the dim light.

"I.. guess that answers that, Inuyasha there is something I need to do I promise ill go back as soon as I can" Kagome said grabbing her empty bag

Kagome didn't even bother to look at Inuyasha she just headed towards her bedroom door with a sigh.

"If I don't get caught" Kagome sighed leaving the room

Kagome walked down the stairs with a smirk on her face, she was hoping Inuyasha would follow after her and agree to helping, if he didn't Kagome had another more painful method in mind. Inuyasha was left sitting on Kagome's bed, he didn't know what was going on with her but he also knew he couldn't just take her to the past not with the beads on. Inuyasha grumbled as he walked out of the room following after Kagome, She was outside walking slowly towards the stairs when Inuyasha came up behind her and grabbed her wrist.

"Need help?"

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha with a sparkle in her eyes.

"Thankyou Inuyasha! Thankyou"

Kagome couldn't help but wrap her arms around him, the second Kagome realised she was hugging the shocked Inuyasha she pulled away blushing.

"So um what we doin anyway?" Inuyasha asked turning away slightly embarrassed

"Can you still smell the guys that where hear earlier?"

"Yeah"

"Good, we need to find one of them"

"How do you expect me to find the right one with all the other scents!"

"Oh yeah your right… well I guess we will just have to find them all until we get the right guy"

Inuyasha was about to protest but Kagome was already on his back waiting for him to go, Inuyasha set out following the strongest scent first.

"Why are we following them? Can I kill em?"

"No! You can't go around killing people in my time Inuyasha"

"So why are we following them then"

"Because I need to know how much he knows about you"

"Me?"

"Inuyasha its not normal for a half demon to be running around the streets, if it got out that you were a half demon and my trips to the feudal ear it would tear my family apart"

"What?"

"All you need to know is I cant let anyone find out about you or the well, if they did I don't think I could go back there" Kagome sighed tightening her grip on Inuyasha

The second Inuyasha heard this he speed up, it took nearly and hour to get to the first house. Kagome had no idea wether this was the right house or not so they had no choice but to sneak in and get a closer look, Inuyasha ran quietly and silently towards the house keeping all his scenes on alert for anyone who might come there way. Kagome made it pretty clear that he could not hurt a single person and they had to be quiet, Inuyasha jumped up into a near by tree hidden from sight.

"Is this the one?" Inuyasha whispered

"I don't know I can't see from this far, not a demon remember!" Kagome hissed

Inuyasha growled silently before getting closer to the house, he jumped up onto a small balcony and walked very slowly to the half opened door, he moved the certain back ever so gently that Kagome almost gasp in surprise at his tenderness. Kagome looked into the dark room waiting for her eyes to adjust to the dim light, after a little bit she could see the shape of two people sleeping in the same bed. Kagome had to cover her mouth when she saw the twins snuggled together in the same bed; it was the cutest thing she had ever seen. Inuyasha looked at Kagome confused by her expression he thought it was creepy that brothers were that close, Kagome looked down at Inuyasha and shook her head with that Inuyasha jumped to the ground and moved onto the next scent. After another hour or so they came to the next house, there was a light shining from one of the first story windows. Inuyasha crept along the building towards the light; Kagome noticed the smells of cakes in the air. Once they got to the window they both looked in and saw hundreds of cakes lined out on a huge table, Inuyasha flinched and put his hand on his sword when he saw something moving behind the cakes. After a few minutes the thing that Inuyasha saw moving came out into view, Hunny walked around the cakes and towards the window with sharp eyes. Kagome was starting to panic thinking he had heard them, she let out a sigh when Hunny had grabbed his bunny and went back over to the cakes.

"Inuyasha lets go"

Inuyasha nodded then ran away from the house and onto the next scent.

"Inuyasha…"

"Yeah"

"Can.. can you stop for a second"

Inuyasha slowed down to a stop and allowed Kagome to get off, once Kagome had gotten off Inuyasha's back she looked through her bag.

"….must of left it at home" Kagome sighed with a frown

Inuyasha looked down at Kagome and saw her shiver, he took off his kimono and placed it over Kagome covering her head. Kagome turned her head and looked up at Inuyasha who was looking in the distance somewhere, Kagome griped the kimono in her hands and stood up.

"Thankyou Inuyasha.."

"We should get going"

Kagome nodded and picked up her bag, she hopped on Inuyasha's back and was once more running off towards the next house. Inuyasha stopped in front of a huge house and sniffed the air; he closed his eyes and relied on his hearing to see if anyone was around them once the coast was clear he silently and quickly made his way closer to the house. There was still a light on in one of the rooms; Inuyasha went closer to it making sure to stay hidden. They stayed hidden in the bushes and waited to catch sight of the boy that lived here, after waiting for a while a tall well toned boy walked into view with a towel over his head. He walked around the room drying off his hair until he came to his bedroom light switch, he was about to turn off the light when his cell phone rang. Inuyasha jumped at the sound but soon relaxed when Kagome didn't seem too worried.

"Who would be calling this late" Kagome wondered as she watched the boy throw the towel into his clothes hamper and put on his glasses, her heart started to race once she saw it was Kyoya. Inuyasha felt Kagome's heart racing and her grip tightening on his shirt, he knew they were at the right house and silently moved away from the window and into a better hiding spot.

"Now what?"

"I need to get his notebook… if he knows anything it will be in that I bet"

"So let's go get it then"

"Inuyasha you can't just go into someone's house and take things its not... actually that's not a bad idea"

Inuyasha turned his head and saw Kagome looking at him with smile on her face that always meant bad news for Inuyasha, he saw this and started to worry about what was going on in that head of hers.

"You can go sneak into the house and get the book for me"

"What… me… why do I gotta do it?"

"Because you will be able to tell when people are coming and you're a lot more quieter then I would be… it would be like playing fetch" Kagome beamed

"Fetch! So I'm your faithful hound now!"

"I don't know about faithful" Kagome mumbled

"What did you say" Inuyasha growled with his eye twitching

"Oh nothing now go on, the sooner you do this the sooner we can get back to hunting shards"

Kagome held onto the tree trunk and gave Inuyasha a gentle push towards the house.

"Alright alright I'm going… just one thing what's a notebook?"

Kagome hit her palm on her face. "Of course he wouldn't know what it was" she thought with a sigh.

"Well it's about this big and it's black" Kagome explained demonstrating the size wit her hands

"Got it"

Inuyasha jumped out of the tree and ran swiftly towards the house, Kagome was left holding her breath and praying he doesn't get caught

"Not like anyone would believe a half demon was stealing a book"
