A/N: I don't own any characters. This whole chapter is very different than the old one.
Chapter 4: Urgency
"I know." Kagome said under her breath as the hanyou turned and left her alone in her room.
Kagome opened her closet door and plowed through the scattered clothes to find her usual school outfit that she wore in the feudal era, but it was no where in sight.
"Mom! Have you seen my uniform?" Kagome yelled out of her doorway in the direction of the kitchen.
"It's in the wash, dear!" Her mother answered.
"Damn it." Kagome huffed. She continued to dig through her closet until she found something appropriate to wear. Something not too revealing. Something InuYasha would like. Something Miroku won't try to grope m; wait, he'll do that any way. Kagome smiled as she remembered the sound of Sango's hand smacking against Miroku's cheek. God, he is a pervert!
"Here we go!" Kagome held up a pair of blue jeans and a plain, black t-shirt. She quickly got dressed and stood in front of her full length mirror beside her bed. The outfit wasn't too revealing, but it showed off her curves in a nice way. InuYasha will definitely like this!
Kagome grabbed her yellow bag and dashed downstairs to the kitchen. She dumped a few cups of ramen and a first aid kit from her mom into it and ran out to the well house. InuYasha stood there waiting for her. He almost fell backwards when he saw her. Her big brown eyes were full of excitement and her unusual clothes were hugging her body in all the right places. He felt weak in the knees just looking at her.
"Hello? Inu-kun? Anyone home in that thick skull of yours?" Kagome waved a hand in front of his face. Why is he staring? Oh, yeah, the clothes.
"I didn't know you wore things like that." InuYasha gulped and began to sweat.
"Yeah, I think it looks good on me. Don't you?" Kagome smiled slyly as she did a little turn to show him her clothes from every angle.
"Hell yeah! Oops, I mean…" InuYasha blushed a deeply. Shit. I walked right into that. He cringed as he waited for her to sit all the way to hell, but then...nothing.
"Come on, Inu-kun." Kagome was already over at the well, prepared to jump in. InuYasha's jaw dropped for a moment. Then closed and opened again like a fish. He was speechless. Why didn't she sit me?
InuYasha followed her hesitantly to the well. He grabbed her hand, and they jumped into the well together. As the blue and purplish whirl wind circled around them, InuYasha felt strangely content with Kagome's hand in his. Finally, they felt the ground beneath their feet.
"You okay?" InuYasha asked. He suddenly felt embarrassed to talk to her suddenly. What if what had happened between them in Kagome's time would be different here? He shook the thoughts away.
Kagome smiled sweetly, "Yeah." She didn't know what was up with him, but she liked the extra attention. Maybe he's changing... I hope for the better.
InuYasha jumped out of the well and held out his hand to Kagome. She grabbed it and he pulled her out gently. InuYasha brushed past her ear and whispered, "Back to the way things were, okay? We'll talk tonight though." Just as his last whispered sentence was out, Miroku appeared.
"Lady Kagome, Keade wishes to see you." Miroku reported to her without greeting and began to lead them to her village.
Why is Kaede so urgent? Is something happening?
