Hello all! I'm going to be truthful with you. See this is my second Inuyasha fic. I've written Harry Potter and Sailor Moon for years but Inuyasha I just got into. And wouldn't you know it when I decide to start watching Inuyasha Cartoon Network thinks it would be delightfully funny to take it off the TV.
So the gist to that is I've seen about a total of fifteen episodes, not counting the fanfiction's and online summary's I've read. So I'm telling you this time line will be slightly strange. It's sorta a "what if" story. So To those who are still planning on sticking around I'll tell you there are exactly nine chapters. /not counting an epilogue that may or may not be sent in/ All of them have been written and they are usually one page to two. I should upload one at least every two to three days earlier if I can.
Oh one last thing. The title may never make sense to anyone but me if the epilogue doesn't come out. So just ignore it if ya want.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha. Are you crazy? Making me say that. What self respecting sixteen year old would openly WANT to admit she doesn't own that cutie? Your mean making me say it. *pouts* Oh fine I'll say it again. I don't own Inuyasha. No suing. Happy? *crys*
Last Thing I Wanted

"I want your hair." The witch said her brown eyes gleaming with a strange light.
"What! No way! I'm not going to give you my hair just so you can release Inuyasha! He can rot for what I care!" Kagome yelled fingering her hair protectively.
"What else do you have?" the women asked though her eyes again traveled over Kagome's hair. Kagome pulled her hat lower over her head tucking her tresses back into it. Before opening her book pack for the women to inspect.

Inuyasha stared at Kagome in suspicion and she pulled her hat lower one long strand of hair flying up as another chill past through the trees.
"What did you trade?"
"None of your business Inuyasha and if you keep asking me I'm going to "s" word you into next week!"
"Not like you haven't done it before." he muttered and she glared at him.
"What was that?" she asked and he smiled sweetly to her.
"Nothing, Kagome!"
He went back to walking but glanced back as she shivered again. Rolling his eyes he took off his shirt to reveal a second set of clothing underneath. He draped his shirt over her head and continued walking.
"Hurry up! You're warm now so you can walk faster!"
She glared at him but still righted the shirt thankful for the warmth in the chilly snowy air. She ran to catch up with him and glanced at him worriedly.
"Won't you be cold?"
"Feh."

"KAGOME! You're home, You're home!" a small body hurled itself through the snow and rushed towards her. Shippo bounced up and clung to her long wool shirt happily as he began to chatter.
'Home.' She thought listening only partially to Shippo's chatter and Inuyasha's sarcastic remarks. She smiled as she realized she could finally picture both the past and her present as her home.
She looked up to see Miroku had an arm around Sango from the door of the deserted hut they had borrowed when a snow storm had popped out of nowhere at them. Surprisingly, Miroku was actually keeping his hands respectively away from any places that would get him boomeranged, and Sango's head was resting lightly on his shoulder.
Inuyasha glanced at them and then his gaze traveled to her and he let out a feh. He quickly marched past them and threw himself in the room the guys had been sharing. Kagome watched him and shook her head slightly turning to Sango and Miroku as she walked in and sat down next to the fire keeping Inuyasha's shirt and her hat on.
"So what have you three been?"
"Fine, but what kept you so long Kagome?" Sango asked curiously.
"It's a long story that will be better explained tomorrow after a nice nap. You guys wouldn't be offended if I went to bed so early would you?"
"No, it's probably better. We have been out almost all day and are tired as well."
Sango smiled at her and said she would be in after she put things away declining her help. So she had prodded to the third and final room of the hut and Shippo slipped in with her curling next to her as she slipped into the sleeping bag.
He fell asleep midway through talking and she smiled at him sadly, slowly running her fingers down his soft hair. She feigned sleep when she heard Sango slip into the room and waited until she could hear the girl's soft breathing before she buried her head in her pillow and finally cried over what she had lost to save Inuyasha.
AN: Ahahaha. This will become more of a mystery and pay attention. Here I'll even give you the hint I gave to my best friend, Ms. Prongs whom will be having a Inuyasha fic out soon.
"Don't focus too much on anything. Everything is feeding a bigger picture."
