Disclaimer: I am just borrowing Inuyasha. Less see I have a nice fantasy/mystery/science-fi book collection. A scanner and printer that doesn't want to work with my computer and A Mr.Boston Bartender Guide 1994 ed.

Note: I tend to be long winded with writing dialouge and trying to curb that with grouping the sections for easier reading and since this is my attempt with Kagome interacting/talking with the group casually really for the last time. hint hint. so I might break part 4 into two maybe three parts since I need her to talk to all of them.. Apparently people had questions and they will be answers here somewhere in part 4. I think. ^_^

Writing parts 4 and 5 is harder for me to write but I will do my best and I know how this ends it just the filling that hard *_*`` Tell me if you like it.. I believe I fixed 1 and 3 for continuation flaws.. At the end of 3, I know she just left but they'll figure out she went home, besides Inuyasha did see her..

Just wondering... I been reading a few stories for the setup scenario of Inuyasha does something stupid to upset Kagome and she runs through the woods. Mind you, I like these but can you at least make her look down once in a while..It sounds to me like the woman in the horror films that doing good running from the creature and falls over on her on feet.. I mean c'mon it is a forest for christ sake, can she look where she going once in a while.

Oh yeah, One day I going to find those damn sukura or cherry blossoms. maybe go the botanical gardens and ask them if they have any and find out if they smell so damn good because Sesshoumaru seems to fall for that particular Kagome smell. I am think the new Dial Soap can smell better. I mean have you smell them; they're great.

Last Time

---

Five minutes later at the well, "Good Night, have a safe trip home" He kisses her on her cheek.

Kagome touches her face in shock but recovers to smiles and says "Good Night, Sesshoumaru. Be careful."

Kagome jumps into the well. "I am always." and he leaves.

In the exchange they fail to noticed a white haired hanyou looking on in stunned silence.

Illustrated Conversation

Part {1/4} 4 - Exchange of Children and Other Items - or All Talk and No Action (Shippou and Sango)

It is Spring

Cool breezes pass through the majestic trees, flowers coming out from its long winter sleep. Yes.. Inuyasha Forest is in one if its rare lulls of silences where its so quiet you can hear a pin drop..

"GET BACK HERE YOU BRAT"

"HELP...HELP...."

"NO ONE IS GOING TO HELP YOU"

"I WAS HUNGRY"

"NO NEED TO EAT MY RAMEN!!!"

'Well that lasted all of four seconds'. Kagome wearing a blue knee-length dress with a light pink sweater and blue and white sneakers looking up from the bottom of the well into the clean sky with her supplies in her yellow backpack on her back, shaking her head in her hands and giggling to herself and wonders how long that must of been going on. Finally she throws over her bag out the well and pulls on the vines and climbs out.

The winds shift and before her body can finish her self removal from the well a small brown hair ball running at full speed, jumps and she catches willingly.

"Kagome, Help.. Inuyasha is trying to eat me."

"Huh?"

"I not doing that you runt"

Safely in her arms Shippou recounts what happened. "Kagome.. Kagome.. he was sleeping and the noodles were done so I figured he didn't want his share."

"Stupid pup"

"It is all right Inuyasha, I should have more in my pack"

"Good, I like to have it now."

"Hold on, I just got here." Inuyasha starts grabbing the yellow pack and Kagome holds on to it then they have a struggle of it. She looks and him and says. "If you want it then you can have it." and lets go and says "Sit." smiling the whole time watching him fall back then fall forward into the ground..she smirks and thinks to herself 'I must remember that one' then calmly say "When you get up can you bring the bag along to the hut hmm.. Inuyasha."

He grumbles about her being a stupid wench. She turns around, calms down and ask him what he said. Again stupid him says to her face. "Bitch, I can't believe.." and as a light gets turned on his head his glowing golden eyes widens a little and prepares for the worst. Kagome begins to rock back and forth on the heels of her sneakers and starts singing. Inuyasha and Shippou look at each other then at look at her like she gone crazy since they never saw this tactic but they both knew this wasn't good for him. She started slowly but when she was done with the song that had enough 'sits' to fill the hut sized hole for Inuyasha was lying in the middle of. Kagome walked away and thought to herself 'We are getting too old for this.' "Shippou come along, I am sure he is fine."

Shippou follows her. Kagome continues to walk along the dirt path to the village and meets with Miroku and she tells him the situation and ask him to carry her stuff into the hut and not let Inuyasha touch the bag until she comes back. Miroku looks over her shoulder and sighs, "Will he ever learn." agrees with Kagome request and walk towards the idiot.

She continues as Shippou following,"Where are we going Kagome?"

"Oh just over there by the meadow. I need to talk to you."

"Did I do something bad?" trying his best to look cute.

"Hmm. Did you do something bad?"

They reach a good way from Inuyasha's hearing range and she sits down with Shippou by her side and she explains what he did was wrong.

"But Kagome he was asleep"

"When does Inuyasha sleep?"

Shippou had to think about that and reply."Not often"

"You know when he sleeps because he is comfortable enough to do so when he truly needs it."

"Hmm. maybe"

"He also thought that if he rest just a little he could eat afterwards and you know how much he loves ramen, Right?"

Shippou saw where this was going and mumbled. "..yes"

"Did you think it was nice taking something that wasn't yours and you knew that I would bring more."

"I'm sorry"

"Well, tell him that to him when he calms down."

Shippou was getting up to leave when Kagome's hand brought him to her lap.

"Um. Kagome"

"Shippou, you know I would do anything to protect you right."

"Of, course." glaring at her like she didn't know that.

"I will also make assurances that you are fine while I'm away. Right?"

He started to looked worried,"Are you leaving already?" he voice just a little wobbly.

Kagome rubbed his hair and say, "Oh no..Not now, but you know that most of the jewels have been taken. It has been a long time since we were able to find any. The last was Kouga's three when he knew it was for the best for us to have it and we also have a good amount of the jewel.. Are you listening?"

"Yes. Kagome."

"Well there is a time soon where we will face Naruku. I can feel it."

"But we'll be fine." puffing up his chest.

Laughing, Kagome thought 'He has grown so much' reply, "I have no doubt about it. I want you to do something for me."

"What?" he looks back and sat down and stares at her.

"If there's comes a point where all of us can't protect you." Shippou grabs her and says, "You'll be fine."

"Honey. If there a point where I can't protect you nor the others I want you to do something for me." Kagome holds Shippou out to look at her face and in seriousness. "I want you to go to Lord Sesshoumaru, there is a chance that if we win and I get the jewel back then I might have no choice but to return my home permanently. Do you understand?"

Shippou unusually quiet "Uh huh." tears beginning. Kagome holds him close to her and says, "I want you to be protected even when I not here and the best way I know how and even though we all love you I think Sesshoumaru can provide the best training you'll need to survive."

"How do you know he will accept me? He is scary you know and since he is Inuyasha's brother. You see how Inuyasha is towards me how do think his brother is. Can't I stay with Inuyasha? I don't want to go. I don't want you to go."

Kagome smiles at him and understands his fears. "I have made a deal with him and part of that deal is that he doesn't hurt you." 'Intentionally'

"Are you sure I can't stay with Inuyasha."

"I think this is best."

Believing that she wouldn't do anything to hurt him. "All right. Does the others know about this?"

"No. I'll find a way to tell everyone, I trying to keep this a secret for as long as I can."

"Ok."

Smiling at him,"Lets go back to the hut and you get Inuyasha forgiveness and I give you a lollipop."

"I am big boy. Can't I have two?"

Shippou running ahead yelling at Inuyasha about being sorry. Kagome walking behind when she sees Sango polishing her boomerang and Sango ask her to sit down next to her.

"You are looking content."

"Yes. How are you. I was wondering if you tell me what's going on?"

"What do you mean."

"You seem very happy lately.. Is there a boy I don't know about or is Inuyasha still the one?"

Blushing, "Inuyasha of course not. That is a past."

"And yet, your blushing." Sango smirking.

Using diversion, "Your right I am content."

Sango about to comment when she notices Kagome stroking her hair."That is pretty."

She didn't realize her actions. "What?"

"Your hairpin." Sango touches, "it looks expensive."

"Yes, It was a gift but I don't have a chance to wear it often."

"Hmm.."

"What?"

"Nothing." she answers, 'Defiantly a guy' she thinks.

" Sango when you are done interrogating me and finish with your boomerang come to the hut. I have something to give you. "

"What is interrogate?"

"Nevermind.. Tell me what you did while I was away.."

Kagome and Sango continue talk and Inuyasha looks from the trees and listens to the conversation. 'That the same pin. That's the one Sesshoumaru gave her..'

Kagome and Sango could of sworn they heard a growl.

To Be Continued.

-------------------

Something Different:

Ok, I was merrily writing this story but I started getting ideas about other stories and to my shame I started writing them. I will not post them until this one is done. I honestly can't see myself juggling stories. Well, I made up my mind to give you one of my ideas of what has been nagging me the the past four days and its what has been delaying me from finishing part 4 so if you think it is the beginning of something tell me.

A/U Inuyasha - Has no name..

"Lord sesshoumaru it's 5:30 pm"

"Yes Mimmi, continue"

You see, my name is Mimmi and I work in a private building in a private section of buildings where its outside looks just as much as the outside. If you pass by you'll never give it a second look but that they way it intended to be. Inside is another story. Inside there is an elite force of law enforcement. It has no name and it took me a while to get some much clearance to even work here. Yes, it took a year if background checks, to see if I would compromise their unit but they found nothing as I could of told as you see I am a good worker and a reliable employee. You see I am invisible not in the they can't see me but I am meant only to seen and seldom heard since that is the nature of my job. The office across Lord Sesshoumaru is only known as Miroku, he is second in command under Sesshoumaru. You see every body here doesn't have a last name except for the newest recruit, I don't know why but I believe it is for security reasons.. I am not complaining.

Passing Miroku's office and you have the main operation room where everyone is working. The people who supervise the operation area is two people name of Rin and Jaken. She handle day to day and he works the night time and if you saw him you would understand but they both handle recruitment and there where the new girl fits in her name is Kagome Higuashi who runs communications. I have seen her before since she work in other buildings I work in and is pretty high in the food chain so I am a little surprise she is here but there are rumors that she and Lord Sesshoumaru are seeing each other if you know what I mean which would be dangerous except it seems he has family around him.

The two main agents are not here there are overseas setting up an operation that I am not privy too. Well, I can't get anywhere but I know who they are, Sango and Inuyasha. Sango I've seen previously 3 years ago when she was a top cop then she disappeared along with sometime partner Inuyasha, I think of him brawn to her brains but I seen her fight so I change my mind on the idea daily. Did I mention that Inuyasha is also Lord Sesshoumaru brother well I did say family. You ask who or what I do here, I am the Cleaner. I take care of things that need to be rid of. things that won't been heard or seen from again.

"Mimmi, when you're done please clean the rug it has been getting too many feet traffic lately."

"Yes, Lord Sesshoumaru."

Well, a girl can dream...
