Now I know Why

by: Jamie01 (Jamie)

Jamie: Welcome, Welcome, I will show you around my humble bungalow. Actually, I will just remind you of the past story I wrote, which the following story (Now I know Why) is the sequel of.

Looking for a Reason: Inu Yasha is poisoned while Kagome is in her time. When she returns Kaede tells her that she is running out of medicine. Kagome, Miroku and Sango agree to go get, but when Kagome wants to go home and drop her books off, she can't get up the well. She goes to tell Inu Yasha that she is going to get him medicine, but he forces her to stay. Miroku and Sango embark alone, and after a bit of taunting on Miroku's behalf, Sango and he kiss, and their relationship begins. Meanwhile, Kagome and Inu Yasha are having a bumpy relationship as Inu Yasha is getting sicker (they can tell he's getting sicker, because of the mysterious monkey he yells at all the time!). Finally, Inu Yasha and Kagome get into a fight and when Miroku and Sango return it is up to them to save the day. Well in the end, Kagome and Inu Yasha resolve and become mates. Now Kagome is able to get home, she will learn why she could get back to her time. Inu Yasha out of pure misery, follows without Kagome's consent. We leave off with Inu Yasha climbing the well.

Kagome took a few step out of the well and looked around. The air was thick and hot, and the sky had an orangey, brown glow. She stairs up to the well were broken and cracked, Kagome almost fell. She heard a rustle behind her, and turned abruptly.

"Ack!" Inu Yasha said. His leg was swung over the wall as he tried to get out.

"Inu Yasha!" Kagome said in surprise, she ran to him, dropping her bag. She pulled his arm and he fell on top of her. Kagome giggled but then his weight began to crush her.

"Ouch Inu Yasha get off!"

"Who are you and why are you violating my grand-daughter?!" a harsh, elderly voice scowled.

"Grandpa!" Kagome forced Inu Yasha off of herself and ran to the small man. She hugged him deeply.

"What the- Why all the love?" he said in surprise.

"I couldn't get home! What was going on?!" Kagome whimpered.

"Nothing was going on! We were having the annual neighborhood battles and they got out of control, that's it!" Grandpa laughed, "What did you think WAR broke out...which it technically did...?"

"Well- Yeah!" Kagome said, slightly embarrassed. How could she forget neighborhood battles, they were vicious battles, where different neighborhoods fought for the best community title!

"And who is this?!" Grandpa waved a finger at Inu Yasha who stood back, looking around.

"I'm here ma-" Inu Yasha began. Kagome slapped a hand over his mouth.

"Grandpa it's Inu Yasha!" Kagome rolled her eyes, "He's been here before."

"It smells bad here, what happened, did they kill people?" Inu Yasha coughed.

"No it was neighborhood battles," Kagome blushed.

"Nay-hor-bood?" Inu Yasha stumbled over words.

"It's a part of a village where groups of homes are," Kagome laughed.

"Inu Yasha! Kagome!" Souta ran to the dog demon and the girl. His arm was in a heavy cast and was tied to a holder around his neck.

"Souta what happened?!" Kagome's eyes widened.

"Well during neighborhood battles, a boy pushed me off the staircase to the well, and then I hurt my wrist!" Souta sighed, "They've never been so violent. Hey look at my new toy!"

He handed a small box, she pressed the first button and Souta cranked the volume, women, tanks, gunshots...it all made sense. She felt like slapping Souta.

"To scare the others, I tied it to the inside of the well!" he laughed.

"Haha. Funny," Kagome gave him a fake smile. Inu Yasha peeled the box from Kagome's fingers, and stared at it. He pressed the button and the noise blasted again. He yelped and dropped it, Souta grabbed it in mid-air. Inu Yasha held onto the back of Kagome's arm, ears flat against his head.

"Can we go back now Kagome?" he whimpered. He remembered last time he'd come to her time, and he'd burnt his hand on the stove. He felt it burn as he reflected back on the incident.

"No I have to go inside, come on!" Kagome pulled Inu Yasha, and her book bag, into the house.

"Kagome you're back, I've been worried sick!" her mom pulled her into a deep hug. Mrs. H opened an eye and saw Inu Yasha, she pushed her daughter away and rubbed the hanyou's ear.

"Inu Yasha!" she was overcome with joy, "Have you been treating my Kagome with utmost generosity?"

Kagome knew what was coming next, "No mom, I'm not pregnant! Don't you care even a little about me being gone for 9 days?!"

"Yes of course I do, but neighborhood battles kind of kept me from thinking about you! Sorry. But anyways- we won!" Mrs. H did a victory dance and swept any dust off of the trophy that touched the ceiling in the living room, "You brother sacrificed his wrist for this!"

"Poor Souta-"

"He's fine," her mother said quickly, she turned to Inu Yasha, "Would you like some ramen!"

"Yeah!" Inu Yasha's eyes lit up.

"Urgh. I'm going to go change," Kagome rolled her eyes. She dropped her books and stormed upstairs. Her mom was so obnoxious. She closed her door, and walked to her closet. 'What to wear?' she pushed away the uniforms and went straight to casual wear. She picked up a long sleeve white shirt, and a black tank top, she shrugged and put the white shirt on first and then the black spaghetti strap. She really liked the black spaghetti strap, it was decorated with buttons down the front, from the top all the way to the bottom hems, but she had never thought of unbuttoning it. She decided to wear her black skirt, even though it was much like her school skirt. She combed her hair, she hadn't seen a brush in ages, she didn't understand how Sango kept her hair so neat.

"Kagome?" Inu Yasha knocked on her door.

"You can come in Inu Yasha," she combed her long hair and then as he entered the bedroom, put her comb down.

"Your mom got on my nerves, so I decided to come up here instead," he stared at her outfit and tried to hide his grin, but was unsuccessful.

"What are you smiling at?" Kagome raised her brow, and wore a sly face.

"I like it," Inu Yasha smiled.

"I'm sure. I haven't worn this outfit in awhile, my mom bought it as a casual outfit for when I had friends over. I guess your a friend right?" she strolled over to him. He nodded with his grin. He leaned forward and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Kagome?" her mom forced into her room, "Oh! Just ignore me. I'm getting your uniform!"

They stopped, each wore a bright red blush. They were still arm in arm as Mrs. H left the room. Inu Yasha was sure he could hear her whispering 'Grandbabies, Grandbabies.'

"Jeez, my mom is so annoying," Kagome's blush faded.

"Just forget it," Inu Yasha shrugged. He leaned down and kissed Kagome again. But they were interrupted again by a ringing phone. Kagome lunged at it.

"Hello?" Kagome said in a highly perky voice.

"Is this Kagome?" an elderly lady said on the other line.

"Yes?"

"Are you planning on showing up to school today?"

"Oh my! I'm sorry-" she made a fake yawn, "My mother forgot to wake me! I'll have her drop me off!"

"Ok well-"

"Bye!"

"Where are you going?" Inu Yasha stared at her.

"School!" she pressed her lips to his quickly and grabbed her book bag. She slipped a gray, sleeveless sweater on above her spaghetti strap, summer uniform was much like this one, except the skirt was green.

"But-" Kagome kissed Inu Yasha again, and he shut up.

"I'll be back around three, so you just can hang out with Souta today, he'll play nice with his broken wrist," Kagome smiled. She kissed him quickly and ran downstairs.

"Mom it's THURSDAY!" Kagome yelled.

"So? Is today baby day?" her mom wondered.

"No today is a school day!"

"Oh my!" she grabbed Kagome's wrist and pulled her outside, "We're going to be late!"

"No duh!" Kagome winced as her mom choked her wrist.
