"Kagome!" Shippo cried as he jumped over her mother euphorically. "I missed you," cried the young Kitsune.
"Shippo," Kagome cried back; hugging him for dear life, "I am glad you are well."
"Kagome…I can't breathe," whined Shippo and when Kagome continued he began to scratch his way out, "Kagome!"
Kagome giggled and released him after giving him a kiss in his red mane, "I'm sorry," the miko said with a grin, "but look at you! You are gigantic!" commented Kagome dramatically, "you are almost as tall as me."
"That's not true," said Shippo with a pout when he realized he only reached her midsection, "I wish."
"Oh, but you'll be… and soon," assured Kagome, blue eyes twinkling with mirth, "three years have passed since I returned and you are this tall and this handsome. Huh, soon I will have to make a hut only to receive the mating proposals I am going to get for you. Oh my son is going to mate and leave his human mother!"
Shippo blushed furiously and stammered, "Mom…of course…not."
Kagome smiled internally but decided not to torture him further. "Where are Sango and Miroku? How is Kohaku? What did the Exterminator Village Restoration Project ended up like?"
"Mom! One at a time," complained Shippo but he then huffed knowing she was just too excited too contain herself, "Well, Kohaku stayed back at the Village. The walls have been finished and some townspeople seeking training have been arriving. He is now officially in charge of the Exterminators."
"That's awesome. I'm so happy he didn't die back then, look what he was destined to become," Kagome said proudly, "What else?"
Shippo grinned, "Sango and Miroku got married a two and a half years ago," the Kitsune said and then shrugged, "They are visiting Rin and her baby…maybe you should visit them."
Kagome nodded her head in agreement and began to walk towards Rin's hut. The familiar landscape and Miroku's aura had a soothing effect she had missed dearly. Kagome was but a few meters from the house when she spotted Inuyasha coming out of Rin's hut without Toga, "Inuyasha!"
White ears twitched and his golden eyes immediately found her, "Oi Kagome! I was just leaving Toga," explained the hanyou as he approached the bubbly miko, "Kaede told me to scout the area…apparently a group of young demons have been sprouting problem in the vicinity. I'm going to make sure they stay away…see you later."
Kagome nodded in understanding and waved a goodbye to Inuyasha. After his figure disappeared she proceeded to her previous destination. Kagome moved the flap of Rin's door only to be scared shitless when "Aunt Kagome!" was shouted in unison from various voices. What the hell?
