"Inuyasha, get up. I thought you wanted to look for the jewel shards," he woke up with a start. His golden eyes snapped open and looked around. He was lying on a branch of the Goshinboku.

"Hey, are you okay Inuyasha? Is there something wrong?" a young woman asked. His gaze switched to look at the girl before him. She wore the green and white sailor fuku. Her big blue eyes looked into his golden ones with concern. Her hair was long and wavy, mid way up to her back.

"Ka-Kagome, is that really you?" Inuyasha asked.

Miroku, Sango and Shippo exchanged looks, they were confused at the way he acted.

"Of course it's me you baka. Who else would it be?" Kagome said, arching a brow and looking at him with questioning.

Inuyasha stared at her, making her blush as he continued. She was normal once again, her fifteen year old self normal. The wish worked, but at the cost of something else. Couldn't the others remember?

Maybe it was because he was the one to make the wish and remember what happened. Inuyasha gapped at the teenaged girl who crossed her arms. Then she gave him a look of sheer confusion like the others had.

"Hey what's the matter?" She asked him. Inuyasha jumped off the branch he was on and landed in front of her. She let out a shriek and took a tiny step back.

He didn't answer her, but all he did was wrap his arm around her waist and jump back onto the branch he was on minutes prior.

Miroku and Sango left to give them some space, Shippo wanted to know what was going on, but left with the monk and demon slayer.

Kagome sat next to him, she played with her fingers and looked at him,"Is everything alright? You look like...like someone died. You aren't sick are you?" she asked.

"Keh, my body is much stronger and built differently than yours. I don't get sick as easily as you humans do," he stubbornly said.

Kagome furrowed her brows,"I know that. I was just asking if you were-"

He pulled her into his arms. As if he was protecting her from the world around them.

"Inuyasha," she said, something was troubling him. "What's wrong, you're acting strange," Kagome said to him.

"I'm not wench," Inuyasha answered her, unwrapping his arms around her and moved away from her.

"Yes you are and don't you-" Kagome was cut off by him again. She was getting angry that he was doing that.

"Kagome," Inuyasha muttered.

"What is it?" she asked, letting the anger die out.

"I never told you did I?" he questioned her.

Kagome was dumbfounded,"Tell me what?" she tilted her head and looked at him.

Inuyasha sighed and looked at her, into her eyes,"Did I ever tell you that I was happy to have met you." Kagome blushed slightly, he wasn't that open. She smiled at what he just said.

"I am happy that I met you too Inuyasha," Kagome said to him. Inuyasha smiled a little and then let them go back down.

"We should go find those jewel shards soon, we never know when Naraku will strike," Kagome said. Inuyasha nodded.

That's right, they were fighting with Naraku and he used his adamant barrage to smash him to pieces, but like always Naraku escaped. He growled at how cowardly he was for not trying to fight them.

Inuyasha crossed his arms in his haori, but he felt a curve edge of a paper. Kagome was walking over to the others and began to talk to Sango. Miroku, as perverted as he was try to grope her. It always ended with him getting hit on the head with hiraikotsu.

He looked at the paper, it was a photo. His eyes widened, it was him and the young Kagome, it happened but it did not happen at all. Inuyasha remembered the wish, to go back to the day when she was turned to a child, but it changed how that day was. Except that the others didn't know what happened except him.

Inuyasha smiled,"For now on, I'll be enjoying the little things. Just like the little wench said." With that, he walked over to the group. "C'mon guys. We have a long journey ahead of us."
