"What?" a feminine and muscular voice cried.

"Take Inuyasha with ye," Kaede stated once again and refilled her cup with more tea. "I do not doubt the Sailor Scouts' abilities, but it is safer for Inuyasha to go, just in case."

"Really, I don't need Inuyasha. He can attract attention very easily. His claws, fangs, and ears are good reasons enough!" Rei protested. She does not want to be bothered with a malevolence mutt and old feelings resurfacing.

"I don't like the present," Inuyasha plainly stated. That wasn't the main reason at hand. He didn't want to face Kikyo's reincarnation, the woman he fell in love with.

"Ye remind me of Kagome, always denying to take Inuyasha with thee. He can wear a hat, some gloves, and you don't have to worry about his fangs, Inuyasha doesn't smile anyway."

"What about his clothes?" Shippo asked. He really wanted to go help Rei and Inuyasha. He longed to see how Kagome's time looked like.

"Yeah, what about my clothes? No way am I going to trade my rat-fire outfit for some stupid looking stuff called clothes."

"I already gave thee orders, now go," Kaede confirmed and pointed towards the door. "In the process, maybe you can straighten things out with Kagome."

Inuyasha grunted and stormed out of the hut. No way was he going to take orders from that old hag. Rei bowed and hurried out of the hut. This was going to be the worst day of her life. Not only did she not need him, but he was going to make hell break loose in the present.

"Are you going Inuyasha," Shippo firm voice asked curious. "If you do, can you say hi to Kagome for me? I haven't seen her in four years you know."

Inuyasha grunted again and walked slowly toward the well. Rei walked behind him, he was actually going. Guess he had more respect for Kaede after all. She then glared at the silver haired dog demon in front of her. He was exactly a dog, hurting not only one female's heart, but two. If he did anything to make Kagome upset in the less, he was going to regret it dearly. Shippo noticed the glare and tilted his head in curiosity. They were going to cause a lot of trouble, he could feel it.

When they approached the well, the two demons immediately halted a few feet away. Shippo waved his hand in front of him and covered his nose for protection of the smell.

"Good luck," Shippo muttered and hurried towards the safety of the village. Inuyasha stared at the retreating figure and placed his sleeve over his nose; jumping into the well. Rei gripped the edge of the well and jumped over it, into the well. When the bright light faded, they were standing in the bottom of the present time's well. Inuyasha instantly jumped out and headed toward the Scared Tree. Rei struggled out of the well and caught up behind him.

"Hey, where are you going? We need to get you some clothes," Rei stated and realized he was ignoring her. She raised an eyebrow in annoyance and opened her mouth in protest.

"Inuyasha!" a male voice rung out. The two turned their heads to see Souta running up to them. He locked his arm around the demon's neck and smiled. "I haven't seen you in ages!"

Inuyasha removed his arm and sniffed the boy, causing Rei to look at him in confusion. "You're Souta I think."

"At least you remember me."

"You look different."

"I do grow."

"Souta, do you by any chance have any clothes that might fit Inuyasha?" Rei asked dully. It's only been a minute and he already got on her nerves.

"Lets see, come on Inuyasha," Souta stated and jogged his way to the back door. He halted and turned around to see Inuyasha with an uneasy face. "What's wrong?"

"Is Kagome home?" he tried to ask in a firm voice, but failed. His failure caused him to receive a deadly glare.

"No," he answered confused. "Lets go get you fitted already." Inuyasha hesitated and followed the young boy into the house. Rei sighed heavily and made her way to the door.

"Wait up Rei!" a cheerful voice cried from behind. The priestess immediately turned around and came face to face with a bright smile.

"Hello Kagome, how was your day?" Rei asked with a nervous laugh. Maybe she could stall enough for Inuyasha to change. Maybe Kagome would think Inuyasha is someone else with the modern day clothes. Not likely...

"It was great and you?" Kagome asked. She could sense Rei's uneasiness and wander what was the matter. "Is everything okay Rei?"

"Everything is fine Kagome," Rei answered with a smile and opened the door. "How about we go inside?"

"That would be nice," Kagome replied with a smile. Rei nodded and opened the door, jogging up the stairs. Kagome raised an eyebrow and followed the raven haired; curiosity taking the best of her. When she approached the top of the stairs, she noticed Souta's door ajar. She silently made her way to the door and peeked inside. She softly gasped and covered her mouth. Inuyasha was looking himself in the mirror with an annoyed expression. He had on a blue baseball cap and a blue t-shirt. His baggy, beige cargos covered the heel of his white sneakers. He complained about the shoes and how the hat hurt his ears. Souta sat on the bed with a dull expression while Rei leaned on the wall, her arms crossed in annoyance.

"You look fine Inuyasha, besides, you have other problems. Kagome is home now," she stated and saw Inuyasha stiffen.

"Cool! Now we can get another female's opinion! Kago-" Souta was rudely cut off by Inuyasha's claw over his mouth.

"Will you shutup!"

"Why?"

"You look nice Inuyasha," Kagome softly stated and opened the door to the fullest. Everyone quieted down. Inuyasha removed his hand from the boy's mouth and crossed his arms, turning his head in embarrassment. "Why are you here by the way?"

"Thank you," he muttered and stared at the mirror. He didn't want to approach Kagome this way, but he guess it was to late. "I'm here to protect the Shikon Jewel."

"What do you mean? The Shikon Jewel is in Feudal Japan, safe in Kaede's village," Kagome stated confused and felt a spasm of power nearby. She walked out of the room and down the hall. Everyone stared at each other and quickly followed. Kagome entered a room and her eyes grew wide in fear. In a wooden, red box a pink glow arose through the creaks of the lid. "How did..."

"Kaede gave the jewel to me to protect. It is safer in the present then in the past," Rei stated calmly and walked next to her cousin; noticing a mixture of confusion and fear in her chocolate eyes.

"Can we go and get these stupid clothes?" Inuyasha asked from behind the two. He had a feeling Kagome wasn't too happy about the situation and the best thing to do right now was leave her alone.

"You guys are going shopping?" Kagome asked softly.

"Yeah, but-"

"Can I go too? I haven't been shopping much since I got this new job. I think it will be fun for us to go together," Kagome stated, causing Inuyasha to whine. She didn't have much fun for the last couple of years and today just might be a change to her original routines.

"That sounds awesome!" Souta exclaimed and pumped his arm into the air. "The four of us hanging out; with old family and friends!"

"Sure, whatever; lets just go," Inuyasha muttered and headed out of the room and out of the house. Rei, Souta, and Kagome quickly grabbed their belongings and followed the hanyou. Souta led them to the nearest bus stop. Inuyasha muttered things to himself every time someone glances at him or whispers, which, by the way, he could hear…

"This is so stupid," Inuyasha mumbled and crossed his arms as cars zoomed passed and the yelling of the people. He rubbed his nose as he stared at the sewer drain. "This place is more disgusting then home."

"You should be grateful," Kagome said and placed her hands on her hips. Every time he came to the present, he would always complain about everything. She felt her anger for that rising. "When I go to the Feudal Era I don't complain how the people act or how you live!"

"I don't care! I can do whatever I want!" Inuyasha yelled back, getting annoyed with her already.

"You jerk!"

"You wench!"

"That's it! You just crossed the last line! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit!"

Cries of protests rung through the air. Lavender eyes stared in awe at the sight. How could Kagome do such an awesome thing to that mutt? She hoped her cousin could teach her that… Souta covered his face as everyone begun to stare and the bus pulled up. He grabbed his older sister's arm and forced her into the bus. She finally ceased her commands and paid her fare after Souta. Inuyasha slowed pulled himself from the cement and slowly stood up. "I hate this hard brick…" Rei sighed heavily and pulled the shaken Inuyasha into the bus, paying his and her own fare. She made her way to two empty seats next to Kagome and Souta. Kagome stared out of the window with her arms crossed. Inuyasha rubbed and whined about every part of his body.

The ride was basically silent but for the exception of Inuyasha asking a million and five questions about everything they passed. The only one who answered him was Souta. They soon arrived at their destination. Trying to get Inuyasha to shutup was the hardest part.

After hours of going to about every store in the mall, they purchased five outfits. "This is time-consuming!" Rei protested and rubbed her head in frustration. "We have been here for five hours and came up with five outfits. Even females don't take that long to get five outfits."

"I'm hungry," Souta stated softly and sat on the fountain in the middle of the mall. "How about we eat and continue to shop later, please?"

"I agree, I'm hungry a little myself," Rei stated and faced her cousin and the hanyou. "I get us some food, you guys wait here."

"Sure, but I'm heading to the restroom," Souta stated and hurried to the direction of the men restroom.

Inuyasha saw Kagome sit on the foundation and followed her lead, staring at the direction in which the male teen ran too. "How could he use the bathroom in a place like that? People watching you…" He turned to face the priestess beside him and noticed her sadly staring at the ground. He felt his face soften and his stomach cling. He reached out his arm and softly rested it on her shoulders. He pulled her close to him and sighed heavily.

"I'm sorry about getting you upset before we came here," Inuyasha softly stated and Kagome looked up at him in surprise. It has been, oh, so long since he held her like that. She smiled softly and rested her head on his chest, soaking in the moment.

"Excuse me," Rei confirmed and glared at the two. She made room between the two and handed them each a bag. She pulled her a burger out a bag and ate it without a word. The raven-haired and silvered-haired stared at them then at her in confusion. Kagome tilted her head in curiosity, was her cousin jealous? The Princess of Mars closed her eyes and felt their staring. She didn't want to be bothered with them being too friendly with each other. Hell may break if Kagome and Inuyasha think about their feelings for one another.
