Just moments after Kagome found out that it is really really hard not to think about sentient wells who should appear but her knight in shining armor…er…*narrator waits* Ahem. Lets try this again, who should appear but her knight in shining armor…and… he doesn't show up. *narrator sighs* Figures. Okay, Inu-Yasha appears with a flash and bang killing the bad-guy and saving the day, happy? *Inu-Yasha nods having suddenly popped up with no warning* Anyway, Inu-Yasha showed up for who knows what reason, but really just to further the plot and anyone knows that where Kagome is Inu-Yasha's not to far away. Enough, back to the story.

 Just moments after Kagome found out that it is really really hard not to think about sentient wells who should appear but…Inu-Yasha. The scene the poor hanyou found was…strange… Kagome sat blinking in front of the well muttering to herself. There were bags and bundles and all sorts of different shaped...things lying around her, far to many for a weak human like Kagome to carry.

"Feh." Whoops, did Inu-Yasha say something? Now Kagome will know he's here and she'll just have to rope him into carrying her stuff. ^.^

Startled blue-gray eyes turned to Inu-Yasha and lit up. Somewhere deep down inside, Inu-Yasha became suddenly, irrationally happy.

"Inu-Yasha! Oh I'm so glad you're here," and the little puppy becomes ecstatic, Kagome was glad he was here! "Now I don't have to carry all this stuff"…or not…

Inu-Yasha scowled. "Not a chance, bitch."[i]

Now it was Kagome's turn to scowl. "Do you just enjoy insulting me? DO YOU EVEN CARE THAT I HATE BEING CALLED THAT!!!"

Several birds, shaken by the scream, wisely flew off to a calmer section of the forest. As for Inu-Yasha, he meekly started picking up packages and keeping away from Kagome, where little puffs of smoke were curling up from the grass. With a huff Kagome stormed off towards the direction of the Kaede's village.

~~*~~

'Why does he tick me off so much?'

("Probably 'cause you like him and that scares you")

'Why would that scare me?'

("How should I know?!?! I'm not your conscious, I'm just the little voice in the back of your head telling you to do things you know you shouldn't…Whoops... Did I say that? I mean I'm the voice that tells you to do things you should! Yeah……right…")

'I am so scared of myself right now.'[ii]

~~*~~

Meanwhile Inu-Yasha was struggling to get all the packages to the village without being seen.

Poor Inu-Yasha.


Err…yeah, I was really in a sarcastic mood at the beginning. You can ignore the first paragraph if you want to….

[i] Okay, I have a little theory here and it involves my choice of language. I try not to swear in my stories but this is probably the one exception because I don't quite consider it a swear word in this case.

Inu-Yasha (in my stories) calls Kagome wench at the beginning. You know, just any old girl couldn't care less. But he does come to care for her and calling her "bitch" is his way of honoring her, without giving it away that he likes her. (Because he knows by her reaction that its not a nice word)

 "Bitch" means female dog and Inu-Yasha is a dog demon, therefore what he's really saying is that she's important/strong enough that she could be considered a dog demon, a female one. Get it? If not please email me tara_st@sailorjupiter.com

[ii] Yeah…she's being serious. So would I if I had a little voice saying that.
