Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.
Oh my god, I'm so sorry that I haven't been writing any more chapters for this story. I've been busy with other things, and now that my mother's in the hospital… Anyway, I've had a bit of time after doing my chores, so I decided to continue on with this story.
Sorry if this chapter might be a bit short... then again, it might not be… Ah whatever!
"Finally we made it to Kaede's village..." Kagome sighed in relief.
"Well, it was your fault that you went in the wrong direction…" Inuyasha replied as he walked through the bushes and up behind Kagome.
"Oh be quiet, we made it here, didn't we?" Kagome started to walk down the hill towards the village.
Inuyasha looked over his shoulder after hearing a rustling in the trees. "…." He narrowed his eyes.
"Inuyasha, come on!" Kagome called back to him.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming! Jeez!" He followed after her.
Three hours later
Half the day was gone. Inuyasha sat on the roof of Kaede's hut watching the sunset.
"Inuyasha, the food's done!" Kagome called out from inside the hut.
Inuyasha immediately stood up, "About time..." and jumped off the roof. He walked into the hut.
Miroku and Sango were there with Kagome and Shippo.
Sango looked at Inuyasha as he entered. "Has something been troubling you Inuyasha? You've been acting a bit strange." She had a look of concern on her face.
"You know, now that I think about it, you have been acting strange ever since I came back."
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
"That's none of your damn business!" He growled, sat down, and grabbed the big piece of meat off his plate. He took a huge bite out of it.
Shippo sighed. "Don't need to get so defensive, we were just wondering…"
Everyone nodded their heads again in agreement again.
Inuyasha clenched his fist and hit Shippo on the head. "Shut up or I'll hit you!"
"Ow! Don't say that you're going to do something after you do it!" He rubbed his head.
"Inuyasha, sit!"
The prayer beads forced him face-first into the floorboard. "AH! DAMNIT KAGOME!"
The very next second, Naoko entered the room. She looked down at Inuyasha. "Are you still tripping over your feet?"
Inuyasha pushed himself up and looked over his shoulders. His eyes were wide open. "Oh shoot!" He thought, and with Kagome here…
Everyone looked up in surprise at Naoko.
Sango blinked. "Who are you?" She then looked at her dog ears. "A relative of Inuyasha's?"
Naoko looked up at Sango. "… Not quite…"
At the very moment he laid eyes on her, Miroku stood up and walked over.
Naoko looked over at Miroku. "Hmm?"
Miroku took a hold of her hands and held it up to his chest. "There are no words to describe your beauty, will you bear my children?"
Naoko gave Miroku a cold glare. "No…" She then yanked her hands out of his grasp and left him standing there like a statue. She walked over to Kagome and kneeled down next to her. She had her face up to hers and sniffed. She backed away a bit. "What ties do you have with Inuyasha, and when was the last time you took a bath? You reek…"
Kagome's face flustered. "Excuse me? I don't think that's any of your business to know!"
Shippo looked up at Kagome and Naoko. He had no idea what was going on.
Naoko's eyes narrowed even more, and she growled. "Oh, I think it is my business, since you're in some kind of relationship with MY man!"
Everyone looked over at Naoko, even Miroku. "Your man?" Then they all looked over at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha laughed nervously. "Heh..." He gulped.
I'm leaving another cliffhanger here. This was about three pages, hurray, the longest I've done so far. But I had to make it up for lagging off on the story, so I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Review, review, review, and I'll continue!
