Thanks for the great reviews, and I do know that there are some grammar mistakes but I just have so many ideas I just type it up really fast and submit it for all of you, I'll try and be more careful next time, lol. Well. Here's the next chapter! (I do not own Inuyasha, Rumiko Takahashi does..)
Chapter nine: Home is where the heart is
He extended a hand, "My name is Miroku, do you mind if I help?" Kagome smiled broadly and accepted the help. Inuyasha and Kagome hadn't been back to their own time for a month now, they had been too caught up with their new life in this new time. They called it the feudal era, everyone was so kind to them.
"Oh, and miss.." Miroku said, sheepishly . " Will you bear my child?" The young monk smiled and blushed, Kagome could only look at him, opened mouthed wondering how he could pass her such a rude question as if it was nothing.
- SLAP! -
Miroku stood there as a huge sweat drop slid down the back of his face.
"You better stop asking people that, Miroku, Or next time I hit you I'll use something harder!"
The young girl who slapped him turned to Kagome and chuckled.
"Please, pay no attention to the lecher.. He's a total womanizer! Hi, I'm Sango." She excused herself to go and help the elders with some large boxes and gracefully stepped over Miroku, who had tripped a moment earlier.
Kagome giggled to herself as Inuyasha joined her, slightly hitting his shoulders. His face wore a touch of pain.
"Feh.. I didn't know chopping wood could be so hard." He complained, moving his shoulders around, trying to shake the pain off.
"Here, let me help you." She cooed, walking behind him and taking his shoulders in her hands. As she moved her fingers ever so lightly the pain seemed to waver and go away. He groaned as he was almost instantly relieved.
"That's great Kagome, Arigatou!" He said, turning to hug her. "Isn't it great that the villagers offered to help build our own Hut?" He was acting like a kid at Christmas, all excited to receive, receive, receive, but never ungrateful for what he DID get.
Kagome nodded, "Yes, Inuyasha. The house will be as perfect as this place." She added.
"Do you 'Really' like it here, Kags?" He looked at her with puppy-dog eyes, not because he WAS part dog, but because he was so good at making Kagome tell the truth.
"Yes, Inuyasha, it's fine here. Everyone respects us, whether they know us or not. It's peaceful and clean. Where did our society go wrong? Cars and such I guess.." She said, looking at the ground. Inuyasha smiled, he had always known Kagome as a kind of spiritual person, one who loves the earth, some people would call that type a 'Tree Hugger'. But he respected her for it.
"How is the progress going?" Kaede said, eying Kagome, knowing exactly what was on her mind.
"Perfect, My Lady." Inuyasha replied, playfully bowing. Kaede laughed and took Kagomes arm, walking with her, slightly whispering.
"I told ye it would take a week, Kagome. It has been a month..Do ye have second thoughts?" She asked her, making sure this is what she wanted. Kaede and Kagome had talked about doing something to Inuyasha, to help control his Demonic state, for if he fell victim to his demon side he would forget himself, and hurt whoever got in his path.
"Kagome, I am willing to do it tonight, if that is what ye wish.. Ye will know where I'll be if ye are ready." Kagome nodded and waved as Kaede left. Kagome stared at the sky, watching birds fly, watching their freedom she thought of Inuyasha. If she went through with her and the old womans secret, Inuyasha could be saved. Although He may never forgive her, She would rather see him alive.. Then dead at her cost.
"Hey" He said, softly, startling her anyway. "Gomen, Kagome. I didn't mean to." She clutched her heart, and breathed out a laugh.
"Phew, no, don't be sorry, I was deep in thought, that's all." She smiled, turning around to look at the birds again. Inuyasha joined her side.
"I feel bad, taking you away from our city, but Kagome, we could do so much better here, no more school, no more college , Kagome, now you wont have to go to college and we wont be separated!" Kagome gazed at him.
"Is that why you want to be here Inuyasha? Because you're afraid I'll go away? Don't be silly, I'd never do that to you. If this is where you want to be, and you want me here with you then here is where I'll stay. You're my best friend Inuyasha! How could you even think of me leaving you?!" She exclaimed jumping on him as they rolled down the hill. When they reached the bottom they had to step apart from each other to catch their breath, they couldn't stop laughing.
"Ohhh, haha! My stomach" She coughed out, falling to her knees. Inuyasha went over and pulled her up, Laughing himself. The sun was now setting and the two were in ecstacy. They were both wondering what the sensation in their stomachs were, but they didn't care. They liked it and that was all that mattered.
- BANG! -
"What was that?" Inuyasha yelled.
- CRASH! -
Kagome gasped. "The villagers!"
The both ran to find the eyes of terror staring back at their faces.

So check back then. If it's not there sometime on Friday, It WILL be there on Saturday. Arigatou! And Gomen!
