Good Memories
"Excuse me?" Kagome asked one of the women walking down the street of a village Inuyasha had found. Inuyasha walked behind her sulking.
"Yes?" the woman looked at Inuyasha.
"We don't have any money but we're awfully hungry, I can offer you hard labor for a good meal…" Kagome tried to seem as pleasant to the lady as physically possible.
The woman looked uncertain but nodded. "My name is Yoshico Hikoto."
"I'm Kagome Higurashi and this is my friend, Inuyasha."
Yoshico nodded and gestured to a house a couple yards up the road. "You can eat first if you like, I was about to make lunch."
"Thank you so much!" Kagome bowed.
Inuyasha didn't move.
Kagome elbowed him in the side.
"What was that for?" He yelled at her.
Kagome smiled nervously at the woman. "Sorry, he's bad tempered."
"Bad tempered? Who you calling bad tempered?"
Yoshico grabbed Kagome's arm and whispered in her ear, "He's your lover?"
Kagome's pupil became tiny dots.
Inuyasha acted as though he hadn't heard.
"No."
"Then why do you allow him to yell at you so?" Yoshico questioned.
"Uh…" Kagome tried to think.
"Because she is my woman, she's just to shy to admit it!" he butted in.
Kagome didn't know if she wanted to kill him or kiss him. So she settled for neither.
"Let me help you prepare lunch." Kagome said to Yoshico. "Do you have anything Inuyasha could do?"
Yoshico released Kagome's arm and put her finger on her chin. "He can go and chop fire wood in the back."
Inuyasha shrugged and walked around the house to the back. "I'll call you when lunch is ready!" Kagome called after him. He just mumbled under his breath.
****
"No way!" Ms. Higurashi laughed. Inuyasha had plunged into telling her about the adventures him and Kagome were having in the past at this very moment. "That is so funny."
Inuyasha laughed slightly and rubbed the back of his neck. A bad habit he had picked up. "Yeah, I feel kind of silly right now thinking about it. I can't believe I was so ignorant."
"And Yoshico just let two perfectly good strangers into her home?"
"Times were different then."
"Tell me the rest!" Ms. Higurashi was having a field day.
"Okay, well after lunch was served…"
****
"Inuyasha don't inhale your food." Kagome said.
Inuyasha ignored her and continued to gobble down the food on his plate.
Yoshico leaned closer to Kagome. "I'm scared to get more rice, for fear he will eat my hand." She laughed.
Kagome laughed too.
Inuyasha noticed their laughter and stopped eating to stare at them with a bewildered look. He had a noodle hanging out of his mouth. The two girls tried not to laugh.
"Rut?" Inuyasha tried to say 'what' with a mouth full of food.
Kagome snickered.
'RUT?"
Yoshico covered her face with her hands as she started to laugh.
"Rought rit it!" Inuyasha tried to say 'out with it.'
Kagome and Yoshico broke into a frenzy of laughter.
Inuyasha was utterly annoyed and crazily embarrassed. He leaned down and dug his head into the food, he tied to chew loudly to cover the sound of the girl's laughter.
****
"For the fifth and final time! That is not my waist!"
SMACK SMASH BAM!
Miroku fell limply forward onto Sango's back, out like a light.
She rolled her eyes and held onto his arms that were around her waist so he wouldn't fall off.
"I think we should find a spot to rest for the night." Sango suggested.
Shippo yawned.
Kirara mewed in response and started to descend. She landed softly on the ground in an open field of knee high grass. Sango hopped off her back and pulled Miroku off. Who fell to the ground in a huff. Shippo jumped off as well and rubbed his eyes.
"This is as good as place as any." Sango sat down.
Kirara mewed once again and transformed into her smaller state.
Sango got out her sleeping supplies. "Kirara, could you flatten some of the grass?"
Sango grabbed a few sticks that were near by and threw them on the flattened grass, she had a fire going in no time. She yawned slightly and pulled the blanket around her shoulders. Shippo curled into a ball near her stomach and Kirara at her feet. Miroku lay directly at her side, still out cold.
"Good Night." She yawned and closed her eyes.
"Good Night." Miroku muttered.
****
"So where are Sango and Miroku now?" Ms. Higurashi asked Inuyasha.
Inuyasha hesitated. "They lived 500 years ago Miss."
"Oh…" she looked to the floor.
"They had a happy life, I'll have you know." Inuyasha nodded. "Miroku had ten children."
"Ten? His wife must have really loved him." Ms. Higurashi didn't want to have a third child; she couldn't believe anyone having ten.
"She did."
"So what happened to Sango?"
"She married a monk and had ten children." Inuyasha smiled.
"Ah…"
****
"You may stay the night if you like." Yoshico offered.
"Really? Thank you so much!" Kagome bowed.
Inuyasha muttered something and crossed his arms.
"Want to see a trick Inuyasha can do, Yoshico?" Kagome asked.
"Not sure…"
"Don't worry you'll like this trick."
"Well okay…"
"Hey Inuyasha." Kagome said to the boy standing if front of her.
"What?" he said annoyed.
"Sit."
BAM!
Yoshico started laughing. Kagome joined her.
Inuyasha pried himself off the ground and muttered a few words about stupid girls.
"Sorry Inuyasha…"Kagome smiled.
"You make it sound easy…" he said.
"Easy to what?" Yoshico asked.
"Apologize." Inuyasha stood up. "I'm sleeping outside."
"Wait Inuyasha, I'm sorry." Kagome really meant it this time.
"It ain't you. The moon won't be out tonight."
"Oh." Kagome stepped back and smiled. "Well you'll know where I'll be if you need me!"
"Yeah, yeah." Inuyasha walked off just as the sun started to set.
"What was that about…" Yoshico wondered.
"Uh…his mom died on a new moon and it still effects him." Kagome lied.
"Oh, sorry I didn't know."
"Don't worry about it, now how about showing me to my room." Kagome said happily.
"Your going to just absolutely love it!" Yoshico walked into the house.
****
"So when the moon isn't out you turn into a human?" Ms. Higurashi tried to understand.
"Exactly." Inuyasha said.
"Seems rough."
"I'm used to it now."
"Guess you weren't then." She said.
"Then, I felt weak when I was human and didn't want to be around anyone." Inuyasha nodded.
"Well that makes sense with your character."
"What do you mean, my character?" Some of his old temper started to come back.
Ms. Higurashi smiled. "Your large pride."
"Feh." He crossed is arms.
Ms. Higurashi couldn't help but laugh.

Sango watched with horror as her brother killed an entire village. She covered her mouth with her hands as she walked past bloody corpses.
"Kohaku? What are you doing?" She removed her hands.
He laughed.
His laughed chilled Sango to the bone.
"It is your turn sister." He threw his weapon at her.
Sango covered her face with her hands. She heard the rustle of clothing and a grunt. She opened her eyes and saw Miroku standing in front of her.
He had blocked the attack.
Kohaku's weapon lay limply on the ground in front of him. Miroku held his staff in front of him.
He turned his head slightly and smiled. "Lady Sango...Wake up."
"Huh?" Sango said confused.
"Get up." Miroku said.
~~~~
"Lady Sango it is time to get up." Miroku lightly shook her.
Sango sat up so fast that she whacked her forehead against Miroku's. He fell back and covered his head with his hands. Sango rubbed hers.
All around them knee high grass waved gently in the morning wind.
"Ouch…" Miroku said.
"Hurry!" Shippo was standing on the transformed Kirara's head. "Their sent is getting weaker!"
"Right!" Sango stood up and collected her supplies and returned them to their rightful places. "Let's go Miroku."
Miroku was still sitting on the ground holding his forehead.
"What's your head made of? Metal?" He joked.
Sango smiled and hopped onto Kirara's back. "This time you sit in front." She scooted back a bit.
Miroku jumped on Kirara's back, in front of Sango. "Then you have to hold on to me." He said slyly.
Sango rolled her eyes and wrapped her arms around Miroku's waist. "Okay, Kirara."
Kirara rose into the air.
*********************************
