~*~
The ride back to Kaede's hut was pretty uneventful, just deathly silent. No one spoke, the only sounds heard were the forest creatures around the group.
Kagome was the most silent of them all, she was glad that Inu-yasha wasn't hurt, but she felt that this was all thanks to her that this all happened, it was all her fault, if she hadn't gone back to her time, then Inu-yasha wouldn't have gone off into the forest on his own and fallen into Naraku's trap.
She sighed deeply, but no one heard her except Inu-yasha who was walking silently beside Kirara. He looked at her with a confused look in his eye, but Kagome turned away, too ashamed to face the hanyou.
The group settled down for bed and Inu-yasha jumped into his tree. Soon the whole group was asleep, even Inu-yasha appeared to be asleep, taking this opportunity, Kagome snuck off into the forest.
She didn't make any noise as she crept along the foliage of the forest, not wanting to draw attention to herself, she suddenly felt strong arms wrap around her stomach and she gasped.
The person grabbing her jumped into a tree and seated himself before turning her around. It was Inu-yasha, at that moment; Kagome wished it could have been someone else besides Inu-yasha.
He raised an eyebrow and grabbed her chin with a clawed hand, "Kagome?" His voice was quieter then usual and his touch was gentle.
Kagome turned her gaze to the ground, "Put me down inu-yasha."
"No."
"Don't make me sit you."
"Now that isn't very nice, you wouldn't sit me when I was little," Inu- yasha smirked arrogantly as Kagome turned in alarm, questions whipped past Kagome like a wild fire, "yes Kagome, I remember."
Kagome relaxed but tensed up again as she thought of another thought, as if reading her mind inu-yasha said, "No Kagome, it isn't your fault."
Kagome lowered her gaze and looked at her hands, "yes it is..." she whispered silently not able to look him in the eyes, his hand came up and caught her chin again, forcing her to look into his eyes.
His eyes were unreadable with some unknown emotion Kagome had never seen in his eyes before, "Kagome, listen to me, it is not your fault."
"If I had stayed in my time, you wouldn't have been turned into a child."
"Kagome, you don't understand, you don't know what happened?"
"Then why won't you enlighten me inu-yasha?" Kagome asked, getting a little irritated.
"I was going to, that's the reason why I followed you," he said releasing her chin and looking off into the distance, "It happened right after you sat me and probably about to jump into the well. I was in the forest bidding my time before I came through the well to get you back when Naraku came. He had a bow and an arrow that was glowing a greenish color. I was a little confused but I got into my battle stance drawing tetsusagia. He shot the arrow and I blocked it with the sword, but it missed slightly and the arrow cut clean in half and one clanged the sword and made it return to its old rusted self whereas the other one pierced me in the chest."
Kagome nodded stupidly, not really understanding, he continued, "I then felt a weird feeling deep inside me and I felt warm, I was really pissed at Naraku for shooting me so I launched myself at him and bit him in the hand. He screamed really loudly and-"
"You mean it wasn't you who screamed?" Kagome asked a little confused.
"Don't interrupt Kagome, anyways, he had taken the form of me, and while I was a child he was planning on looking for you and shooting another arrow at you. But after I bit him I stole his arrows and snapped them all in half, he got pissed off at me and threw me against a tree, knocking me out for awhile, then you came and it was very strange, because I could see the world in two different eyes almost..."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, my personality as a child kind of took over while my actual being stood on the sidelines and watched, I remember everything that you did with me, Kagome, but I couldn't tell you, everything you did, it's all childhood memories." Inu-yasha shook his head as if thinking, "But even though they are memories, I remember everything as clear as day."
Kagome was still a little confused, Inu-yasha continued, "what I don't get is that, the spell, I heard Kagura say, that it was suppose to change me into an infant, not a toddler, but the spell on the arrow was defiantly powerful enough to change me completely."
"Well that's simple Inuyasha-Sama," piped up a little voice, but Kagome and Inu-yasha sweat dropped as Inu-yasha slapped his cheek and a flat flea demon fell into his open palm.
"Myouga-jiji," Kagome said, surprised to see the flea.
Myouga turned into his round self again and cleared his throat, "Inuyasha- Sama, I know why you only became a toddler."
"Spit it out old man," inu-yasha growled, hating to be interrupted by the youkai.
"Well, since your sword cut the arrow in half, the spell was cut in half, that's why your sword shrunk but your kimono didn't, because the sword is part of you in a way." Myouga nodded as if convincing himself as well.
Kagome nodded, "Makes sense."
"Feh," Inu-yasha said as he squished the flea and shot him towards a tree with his fingers.
"Inu-yasha!" Kagome punched his arm playfully and Inu-yasha raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, so now that I'm back to normal, my special treatments gone now?"
Kagome backed away slowly and cleared her throat, she counted on her fingers, "let's see how many times did you misbehave while you were a kid...let's see...well I can't remember so, SITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITS ITSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"
Inu-yasha went smashing to the ground, "BITCH!" he yelled up at the girl in the tree, "Guess you're stuck up there until I get the feeling in my back again."
"Humph you deserved it," Kagome called from above.
"Oh is that so?" Inu-yasha chuckled to the dirt.
"Yup."
"Kagome?"
"What?" Kagome asked, swinging her legs over the branch, expecting him to yell at her for being a bitch and totally impossible.
"I meant...I meant the things I said, about you and Kikyo," he said quietly as he looked away, blushing slightly. Kagome felt her breath catch in her throat; she really hadn't expected that coming from him. She blushed furiously and looked anywhere but him.
She turned to see him sitting in the tree again next to her, having recovered from his sitting; he made no eye contact but looked at the ground where there was an imprint of his body.
"Really?" she said at last as she glanced over at inu-yasha. He blushed and nodded slightly as he looked at her hesitantly.
"I...meant every word," he whispered, blushing three different shades of red. He cleared his throat and fiddled with a hem on his kimono.
"I'm glad," she said equally as quiet. They looked at each other, blushed and looked away. Kagome cleared her throat and edged closer to Inu-yasha without really knowing it.
"You made a good mother," Inu-yasha said.
Kagome snorted, suddenly not feeling tense, "Please! I could barely take care of you, my parent's hit you with brooms because I was stupid and left you in my room, plus you ruined my favorite bunny stuffed animal."
Inu-yasha chuckled, "Yeah, but I never seriously injured."
"Yeah, but you're part demon."
"What makes you think that your child won't be part demon?" inu-yasha asked before blushing about ten shades of red and turned away as soon as he realized what he said. Kagome stared at him.
"What are you saying?"
"I'm just saying...that...I mean, hehehe," Inu-yasha said nervously not able to finish what he was going to say, it was too embarrassing. Kagome sat in deep thought for a while before slipping her hand into inu-yasha's, he stiffened but relaxed when she leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Inu-yasha? Are you asking me too-"
"Ah, I don't...er...that is if you..." Inu-yasha couldn't finish, he felt hot all over, and he thought his head was going to burst if he didn't stop blushing.
Kagome blushed too and looked up into inu-yasha's eyes, "because if you were, I'd say yes, I love you," she finally said.
Inu-yasha was shocked, so shocked he couldn't say anything for awhile while Kagome leaned into him, "I mean, with having to take care of you, I think that I could get a hand of it, especially since I'd have you to help me."
"...you mean it, Kagome?"
"Yes."
"I love you too."
She smiled and tapped his nose with her finger, "Besides, it can't be too different from you, even though you were a pain, I think it's cute when hanyou's turn childrenish."
"Don't you mean childish?"
"No." Kagome grinned and watched the stars with the man she loved.
