They arrived in the feudal era and made it back to kaedes, being greeted by miroku and sango and shippo was finally home from fox training. He only stood in shock for a moment before leaping carefully into kagomes arms and looking up at her. "Kagome...does this mean that you wont have time for me anymore?" He asked, looking up at her with big eyes. "Of course not shippo! You are as much my child as they are, i will never not have time for you!" Kagome said, hugging him close. Shippo sighed in relief, patting her stomach and going up to her shoulder to ride.
"Where do you think youre going kagome?" Inuyasha growled as she picked up her bag. "We need to go get more jewel shards!" Kagome said, irritated. "Oh no. You are NOT going." He growled again and she started to growl right back. "Oh yes i am. You cant get the jewel shards without me!" She stalked past him and the others followed her, looking at the both of them nervously as inuyasha looked pissed as hell and worried. He suddenly sighed and followed as well, keeping an eye on her.
They set off, waving to kaede as they walked to the north, hoping to find the last of the jewel shards quickly. Inuyasha couldnt help but feel that his mate was in danger and it was driving his demon instincts crazy. There was a bad feeling hanging over him that increased with every step they took. His instincts were telling him he was letting his mate lead herself to her doom. He hurried and walked next to her, putting his arm around her and watching everything carefully as they walked to the next village.
