Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha... You so surprised I'm sure. I do
somewhat, in a way own my story line though, so please don't steal it.

"But I like it when I'm here too. I like spending time with you Inuyasha." She said with a small smile. "I could never just forget about everything that's happened here, and you, and the others..."
There was a long pause and they both just sat there enjoying each others company. They really didn't need to say anything else. After a while Kagome pointed to the sky. "The sun is coming up..."

Shippo slowly opened the flap that lead to the outside world and sleepily stepped out.
"Morning Shippo." Kagome said with a yawn. She then popped a few more skittles in her mouth, hoping they'd help her stay awake.
"Sleep well?" Inuyasha said sarcastically, knowing the kitsune was probably already upset that he had fallen asleep. Shippo just glared in response before jumping into Kagome's lap with a smirk, gain a rather jealous one back from Inuyasha.
"I'm sorry I fell asleep Kagome." He said snuggling into her warm embrace. This time he wasn't trying to bother Inuyasha, but Kagome's attention wasn't just on him anymore, so whether or not Shippo was trying too didn't matter.
"Don't worry Shippo." Kagome said sweetly.
"How long did I make it?"
"Feh, you didn't even-" Inuyasha started, but Kagome talked over him.
"You almost made it. You fell asleep just before the sun came up." She said in a motherly tone.
"But-" Inuyasha started to argue, but shut his mouth after Kagome gave him a look that made it clear he better shut up or he'd get sat.
"Is anyone else up yet? I just want to get this over with so I can go back to a normal life." She paused for a moment amused by what she just said. "Well, however normal fighting demons in Feudal Japan is anyway." Then She stood up and Shippo moved to her should so he didn't get dropped. "I'm gonna go start some breakfast."
"But you've been eating that candy stuff all night." Inuyasha remarked.
"Well everyone else might be hungry." She said hotly before going back into the hut to make some ramen.
~*~
"Is that stuff almost done?" Kagome looked at concoction that was being made and held her nose. "It smells horrible."
"That means I'm doing it right." The half witch half miko turned to her daughter. "Maya can you please go collect some more herbs? I'm running low on this kind." She held up a soft blue looking leaf. Maya nodded and left quickly. She seemed relieved to be able to leave the room, which now smelt of the potion Kagome had to drink. Kagome was about to volunteer to go with her, but Maya was gone before she could even ask.
~*~
Maya sighed as she breathed in the fresh morning air. She didn't think she could take it in the hut anymore. Between Kagome's questions about her mother's potion, Miroku begging her to take the curse off, which she had not intention of doing anytime soon, and Shippo trying to annoy Inuyasha as much as possible without being killed, she thought she was going to go insane. Not to say that she didn't like them or anything. They were a fun group to be around. Maya just needed to be alone.
She had to walk for about half and hour before she got to the spot where the herbs that were needed grew. She bent down to pick a few up when she suddenly felt a very dark presence. She grabbed her necklace just in case she needed to use her powers and stood up. "Naraku." Her voice was full of anger and hatred, as well as just about anyone who had ever come across the evil hanyou's was.
"I have come to request a favor of you Maya." His voice was so calm. It sent shivers down her spine. "And what makes you think I'd ever do anything to help you." She spat.
"You know perfectly well why." He said with a smirk. "I want you to put these in with the mixture that you will give the young miko to cure her." He out stretched his hand and revealed a few small red berries on it.
"But they will trap her! What do you have against her anyway?" Maya attempted to reason with him, but he acted as if she had said nothing at all and continued.
"Once you have done that, I want you to kill the others. ALL of them." Then with his other hand he pulled out a small jewel shard. "This will help you."
"NO!" Maya yelled as the shard shot into her body, but was too far from the village for even Inuyasha to hear.
"Now mask the jewels power." He sounded almost bored with her.
"Yes Master Naraku." She said placing her hand on her necklace to focus her power.
"Now go back and do as you are told." He said handing her the berries.
"Yes Master Naraku." Maya then gathered the remaining herbs and left to return to the village.

Ohh, and it looks like this is going to be still longer. I thought I could end it sooner, but I couldn't think of anyway to, so I came up w/ a new ending. ^_^
Ks-Starshine~1st 2 review! hopefully there will be more fluff in the future. I've had trouble working it in though.
Sailor Destiny2~New reviewer! thanks 4 reviewing.
Chibi-Suiko~ thanks! 100 reviews? really? I don't know what I'd do if I ever got that many reviews.
