7: Waiting Forever
Kagome stood on the edge of the Bone Eaters Well and looked back and her friends. They all had said good bye earlier, but then turned to leave all except Inu Yasha. He stood there staring at Kagome as she prepared to jump.

"Kagome? Will you come back soon? We'll need you to help find more jewel shards." he began

"Inu Yasha don't worry. I'll be back before you know it. I promise." She jumped of the ledge and jumped down into the well.

Soon she climbed up into the Temple again. She felt good to be home again and she really missed her Mom, Sota, and Grandpa. As she came into the house no one was home, but her answering machine was blinking. She pressed the play button to hear all the messages.

"Kagome, hi it's Hojo. I was wondering how your back was since your grandfather had told me it was broken. I hope it's ok with you that I stop by today and drop off some bake goods from my Mom. I'll see you soon bye."


"Grandpa! What have you been telling all my friends!" she screamed

Suddenly the door bell rang and she walked up to the front door to answer it. As the door slowly opened, there was Hojo standing with a huge basket of cookies and cakes.

"Hojo, hello please come in." she began

As he walked in he stared at Kagome and looked surprised. Though he shook it off and followed her into the kitchen.

"So I see you're up and around today. I also brought work to you from school, since the teachers have been very concerned with your numerous absences." Sitting at the table.

"Thanks, but I'm really fine. My grandfather loves to stretch the truth a lot. I mean he's been so helpful, though too helpful if you ask me." replying with a smile

"I understand, but are you coming back to school tomorrow?"

"Yes, and for the rest of the week. So thanks for stopping by and I'll see you tomorrow."

She walked him to the door and then let him out and she went back to the kitchen. Kagome looked at t he card that was attached to the basket and then put the cookies and cakes away.

A few days had passed and back in feudal Japan, Inu Yasha seemed more quiet than when Kagome was with him. Miroku and Sango were always away somewhere, collecting firewood or bringing back water. That night Sango and Miroku went out to a near by lake and sat on a large rock.

"Miroku, do you think Inu Yasha is on to our sudden disappearances?" Sango turned to him.

"I'm certain he's not, besides the beast doesn't even have a heart to even know how to love." he replied

"I think that was harsh of you to say that. He is half demon and one part of him is human."

"I'm sorry, but it's becoming more difficult to just go off and be alone, with you."

"It has been hard, but maybe we should tell him."

"No, I want to wait some more." "Besides he would never let me live this down." He thought.

Mean while, Inu Yasha sat by the well, waiting for Kagome to return. His eyes became heavy, but then shot open when Kagome climbed out of the well. She smiled as she fell into his arms. He buried his face in her shoulder while she kissed his neck softly.

"Everything ok here? I hope I didn't miss much." she began

"No, but that munk and exterminator have been gone too long. Something is wrong." He replied.

"Look there they are." pointing to them as they came out of the forest

Both sat down, but Sango sat on Shippo who was sleeping and he suddenly jumped five feet in the air.

"Sorry Shippo I didn't see you there." she laughed

"This isn't funny!" he protested.

"Kagome welcome back." Miroku smiled

"Thanks." she smiled; "You know I'm going to bed. I had a really busy day and we all have a big day tomorrow."

"Good night."

Everyone lied down and fell asleep, though Kagome woke up to see Inu Yasha tickling her. She was about to laugh, but he covered her mouth and helped her up. They walked into the forest and sat by lake in the white moon light.

"I would of waited forever for you to come back." he began

"I was really worried about you. I mean your wombs are they healed?" she asked

"Yes, but still a little tender."

"That's good." kissing his lips gently

He took her into his arms as he laid her down on the cold ground. She took off her shirt while he began to suck on her pale breasts. Her fingers ran through his white hair while his lips traveled down her stomach and to her sacred place once more.

Her body stiffened, though she bucked as his tongue plunged into her. She sat up and untied his kimono. She then got to her feet and slipped off her skirt and panties and he got up and turned her face toward a tree. He entered her from behind and he pumped faster while her nails dug into the bark of the tree.

She turned around and he lifted her up, her back was against the tree. Soon he groaned and they both slowly fell to the ground painting, sweat poring down their naked bodies.
As they headed back to the camp site, but saw Miroku and Sango kissing. Slowly they hid behind a tree.

"Let's not tell Miroku we know. He's probably really afraid." Kagome whispered

"You're no fun Kagome." Inu Yasha smirked

Soon they came out of their hiding place and headed to the camp site. Miroku and Sango soon laid down and pretended to fall asleep. Inu Yasha and Kagome both laid down far from each other and fell asleep.

The next morning Kagome woke up to see Inu Yasha and the others looking at something that really made them mad. She yawned and saw that a demon had appeared, it was a giant wolf. Suddenly she sensed there was a jewel shard in it's head.
