Konnichi wa, minna-san! Yume is now taking her break, we just finished this and she's exhausted! Well I brought a new friend for you to meet...her name is Denvy.

*smiles and waves*

She's about 13(I think), and I have no idea where she's from. She's definitely not familiar with Japanese Anime.

Denvy is weird.

When did you get up?

Oh, a few minutes ago, just after you introduced Denvy. *both turn to look at Denvy*

*stands on chair to reach the cat, which is clinging for it's life at the top of the window curtains*

DENVY! Leave the cat ALONE!

*A surprised Denvy falls off the chair. Cat takes the opportunity to flee* Awwwww! Ayumi-san, why'd you do that? I almost had him.

See what I have to put up with everyday? You people are lucky I get these Chapters out at all! But I do accept bribes of Mt. Dew Code Red and yellow M&M's!

Oh gawd! *throws bag of M&M' s at Yume* Go away!

YAY! *runs off in search of a bowl to sort the M&M's into*

~mumbles to self~ So easily amused...

Kagome sighed in her sleep. She was content to sleep some more but the light shining through her window insisted on her getting up. Her eyes flickered open and shetried to remember where she was. She remembered falling asleep last night and...did she fall asleep on Inuyasha! She opened her eyes wide and automatically shut them again. It was bright so it had to be at least late morning. If Inuyasha was here why didn't he come and get her so they could go back for more shards? She started to ponder this and got dressed. She peeled off the pajamas that had attached themselves to her body. When she was finished dressing she went to the bathroom to wash her face. After that was accomplished she proceeded to go downstairs in search of her mother.

She found her in the kitchen fixing a late breakfast.

"Ohayo, Mama," Kagome said as she walked up to her mother and gave her a hug.

"Good morning, Kagome. Do you want some breakfast?"

"Hai. Mama? Where's Inuyasha?"

Mrs. Higurashi looked up in thought for a moment before she answered, "I think he said he was going outside. You might want to check the Goshinboku."

I nodded to my mother and walked outside. Sure enough Inuyasha was sitting in his favorite tree.

"Inu…yasha?" I said when I stopped at the bottom of the tree.

Inuyasha was staring up at the sky, he was a hanyou again. He must be eager to go back to the Sengoku Jidai because he was back in his red outfit. He didn't look fazed at all by my sudden appearance. He must have heard me coming. He turned and looked at me. I saw no indication that he would acknowledged what had happened last night. What had happened last night? I still couldn't forget it but maybe he had.

"Are you ready to back?" Inuyasha asked. He hopped down out of the tree and stood directly in front of me.

I was still thinking so his question didn't immediately reach my brain. I jerked my head towards him when I realized he had said something. "Huh?"

He rolled his eyes. "Are…you…ready…to…go…back?"

I blinked a few times, before I answered. "Nani? Already? I mean we still have shards to find but do we have to leave so soon? I haven't even had breakfast yet!"

He rolled his eyes again and sighed. I had absolutely no time to resist as he grabbed my arm and dragged me towards the house.

"What are you doing?!?!" I yelled trying to resist but it was to late. He had succeeded in dragging me into the house and up to my room. He plopped me on the bed and pulled my yellow bag out from under my bed. (A/N: What did you expect when I said 'bed'? Oh you bad hentai!) He started filling it with random stuff from my room.

"Okay! I get the picture! I can pack my own stuff!" I got up and started removing the stuff from the backpack. He had a satisfied look on his face as he sat on my bed to wait. I finished putting my clothes and some blankets in my bag and headed downstairs for some food, Inuyasha followed me.

When we got to the kitchen his eyes got real big and he looked at me. I knew what he wanted to do so I nodded. He had a look of pure joy on his face. He started going through the cupboards looking at all the food, his only problem was he couldn't decide what he wanted.

Mama helped me pack some other food in my bag and we left some space for whatever Inuyasha wanted to bring. Inuyasha finally decided on a bag of chips and a few candy bars from Ji-chan's private stash. I put the rest of the food in my bag and Inuyasha immediately dragged me outside. I said a quick goodbye to Mama right before he made it past the door. Inuyasha sure is impatient today!

I yanked my arm from his grasp. "I can walk!" He was really getting on my nerves. How could he ignore what had happened last night? Well, he didn't even acknowledge what had happened on the first night he had transformed in front of me. 'You smell good.' I should stop kidding myself. Inuyasha will never really love me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That damn houshi couldn't keep his lecherous hands off! That was the 25th time he had done that since we had met. I know because I've been keeping count. If he does it one more time I'll smack him so hard he'll be out for a week!

Kirara sat next to me as I washed my face in the stream near the village. I finished drying my face with the towel Kagome had given me and sat back. Kirara climbed into me lap and settled down. I started stroking her soft fur.

I wish Miroku would stop. He just doesn't understand. My jealousy isn't for nothing. I smiled. Would Miroku ever be jealous? Would he ever know how I feel?

I heard soft foot steps behind me. Kirara wasn't alarmed so I relaxed. It was probably Kagome, Inuyasha would drag her back here as soon as he had a chance.

"Sango..," said a very masculine voice behind me.

Startled I turned to face him. Miroku was standing there with a bunch of flowers. "Gomen Nasai," and he bowed his head.

Shocked wouldn't even describe how I felt.
