Summer Days

Author's Note: This is my first Inuyasha fic so I may get a few facts wrong since I've just started watching this show from the second episode and so far I'm up to the 14th one, so please go easy. Ok, so now the gang has added to their mission. Inu's parents were killed by a demon named Miyamoto and Inuyasha has promised to help find and kill this demon. Unfortunately, they don't have a clue what he looks like since no one has ever seen his face..

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the characters! But I do own Inu! YEAH! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~* Chapter 9

Miroku sat silently at the base of the tree where Inu was sitting up in. Sango came up to him and let out a sigh before looking up in the tree. "He was pretty upset wasn't he?" she asked, looking up at the boy. Miroku looked up at her and chuckled. They had been waiting for Kagome and Inuyasha to return all night, but no one had bothered to get Inu out the tree. Kouga was back as well and he was leaning against a nearby tree with his eyes closed and arms crossed.

"He was pretty upset about how Inuyasha came at Kagome, I know. But strange enough, he knows about Kikyo." Said the monk. Sango looked at him curiously. She raised an eyebrow at the monk.

"Inu's a pretty smart boy. He doesn't miss a beat." She said pointedly. She then sat down next to Miroku and scooted up closer to him as a breeze came by. "So, you think he managed to get to her" she asked wrapping her arms around her knees. Miroku shrugged.

"Probably had to follow her into her own world." He answered and looked at the woman at his side curiously. He had honestly had feelings for her, but being who he was, he really couldn't show his feelings any better than Inuyasha could. Sango was a sweet person and very brave. She was unlike many women he had met- unless you counted Kagome. Either way, there was something about her he liked a lot and it actually scared him, so his way was to touch and mess with her mind a bit to show his affections, though she may not have known it. Sango looked up and stared at the sky.

"Its nice out tonight, isn't it?" she asked. Miroku blinked and shook his head, before looking up at the sky. He smiled.

"A lovers night." He said. Sango looked at him with a raised eyebrow, causing him to laugh. 'You know. lovers usually share these types of night with each other. staring at the stars and all."

"And you know all about this, don't you?" asked Sango, rolling her eyes. Miroku shrugged a shoulder.

"I always wished I could share one of these nights with a lovely girl that wouldn't shove me away." Answered the monk and looked at her. Sango was now looking at her hands clenched in her lap. He smiled gently.

"You're a real bakayaro, Miroku." She whispered and looked up. She had looked him right in the eyes. The must have stared at each other for a while because when they heard someone clear their throat and snap them out of their trances, their faces weren't that far apart. Kouga was glaring at them from where he was siting.

"Hate to interrupt you two, but we're in the middle of a crisis." Miroku managed o tune out he ranting Kouga and frowned a bit. He was beginning to wish himself that Kouga had never returned. Then at least he and Sango could have been left alone. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kagome groaned a little in her sleep and wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's torso before opening her eyes and looking at the sleeping half demon. She giggled and moved a few strands of hair out of his face. Inuyasha was very peaceful when he was sleep and she loved to see him that way. Besides, it was how she saw him for he first time. He reminded her of a child while sleep. She laid her head on his chest and began tracing circles with her fingertip. "Kagome." She looked up at his face and saw hat he was still sleep. HE looked as if he was having a nightmare because his face soon scrunched up with anger. She reached up and gently touched his face. His eyes tightened. "Don't hurt her.." Kagome bit her lower lip and sat up, holding the covers over her chest and leaning over he half demon, caressing his cheek and then leaning over and kissing him gently.

"Inuyasha. it's ok. I'm here." She whispered gently. His face soon softened and he rolled onto his side, putting an arm around her waist and pulling her close. Kagome smiled n ad began playing with one of his ears. She knew already ha once the sun rose and hey were dressed again he would be back to his normal self, so she figured she'd take advantage of this moment while she still had a chance.

"Why do you insist on doing that?" Kagome looked at him. He was looking at her with tired eyes that were shinning. "You wouldn't like it if I pulled at your ears if you were trying to sleep." He informed. Kagome smiled at him, blushing a bit.

"Yeah, but your ears are so much cuter than mine." Said Kagome boldly. She reached up to mess with them, but Inuyasha took her hand and pressed his lips to back of her hand.

"Apparently." He muttered and Kagome smiled a bit. She propped herself up on her elbow and watched him. He suddenly reached over and pushed her hair out of her face. "Will you stay here?" he asked. His fingers lingered in her hair as he let his fingers run through it. Kagome shook her head and sat up fully.

"I have to finish school, Inuyasha." She informed. "I'll have to go back tomorrow." she stopped when he sat up and cupped her chin, kissing her deeply. His hand moved from her shoulder and down. Kagome moaned and pressed her body to his, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"You remind of someone I knew when I was younger." He whispered. Kagome smirked and kissed the ip of his nose.

"It had better be a certain female who has it in for you." She said and he shook his head. Kagome smiled and lay back down. "Let's go back to sleep, Inuyasha. I have to wake up early if I want to get back to school in time and it you want to get back to Miroku and the others." She informed. Inuyasha sighed and lay down close to her.

"You had better not be gone too long." He muttered in her ear. Kagome smiled and leaned back further into his chest.

"I won't.." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Inuyasha stood next to the well waiting for Kagome. He was holding her bag over his shoulder and continued to yawn, having got less sleep right after Kagome told him she'd be home in two weeks and after a long argument and a few kisses, one thing led to another and well. "Tired I see." Inuyasha turned around and Kaede was looking at him. He frowned a bit and looked away.

"It's none of your concern old lady. I just didn't get much sleep last night is all. Trying to find Kagome and all." He informed, part being the truth. Kaede smiled at he half demon, making him wonder if she knew anything.

"Ok, I'm ready!" announced Kagome. She came running up with an extra bag thrown over her shoulder. She ran up and gave a quick bow toward Kaede before grabbing her bag from Inuyasha and climbing up onto the well. "I'll be back in two weeks. I'm counting on you to take good care of Inu and Shippo for me." She informed. Inuyasha nodded.

"You take good care of yourself. A mind tis a terrible thing to waste." Said Kaede. Kagome grinned and nodded. She was about to jump into the well when Inuyasha noticed her grin and flash him a secret wink and smile and she jumped through. It was then when Inuyasha noticed Kaede was looking at him.

"Something wrong?" he asked and she smiled.

"Tis all in he mind, Inuyasha." She said. "Memories." She said and walked off. Inuyasha frowned a bit. What did she mean by that?
