"Inuyasha, will you let me explain?" Kagome asked, knocking on the door Inuyasha had locked.

"Inuyasha?"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Inuyasha yelled angrily.

"Inuyasha! It's not what you think!" Kagome said rubbing her hands together in frustration.

"How do you know what I think?!" Inuyasha said, still angry.

"Because I know what it looks like." Kagome ran down stairs and retrieved the key to Sota's room. She then ran back up the stairs.

"Inuyasha, open the door, and I'll explain."

Inuyasha didn't answer, he was just dead silent.

*******************************
"I can't believe she'd do that to me." He whispered to himself. "Heh, I could deal with that," He said, "I should have seen it coming, who would like a half-breed?"

******************************
"I'm coming in!" Kagome yelled shoving the key into the room. She ran inside and spotted Inuyasha sitting calmly on the bed.

"What do you want?" Inuyasha asked.

"What is it with you? I was just with Hojo and talking to him. It's not like I kissed him or anything." Kagome said, taking a seat by him.

"Feh."

"You know, I didn't even want him with me. It's my conscience. I feel bad when I let him down." Kagome said simply.

"So it's okay with you if I'm not fine with it?" He asked sternly.

"No, I meant to just walk home alone. He just got in the way. Believe me there's nothing between us. Although I don't know why you act like this sometimes." She replied.

"What do you mean?!" He asked, jumping up, wanting to know what she meant by that statement.

"Inuyasha.....you always get jealous whenever I'm with Kouga or Hojo or any other guy. But then, you expect me to keep quiet when you go off on your daily "run ins" with Kikyo." She said turning away from him.

"I never did anything." He replied.

"You kissed her, you've hugged her, and you've vowed to protect her." She responded.

"I* didn't kiss her, I* didn't hug her, she was always the one who made the first move. (A/N the kiss thing is true! She went up to him* not the other way around..)

"So you just let her stand there?"
"Where is all this coming from?"
"Forget it. Just....forget it. Hojo and Kouga have nothing to do with me." She replied walking out the room.

Suddenly, Inuyasha forgot about being angry at Hojo and shifted his concern to Kagome.

"Kagome?" He said running after her. "What's the matter?"

"Inuyasha, there's nothing wrong. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to go and do some makeup work for my school." She said, lying about wanting to go and do homework. Truth was, she didn't have any, but she didn't want to hang around Inuyasha.

She walked passed him and started going to her room. Inuyasha grabbed her hand and stopped her. "I know* you're lying." He smirked. "What's the matter?"

"It's not like you'd care." Kagome replied.

"And what's that supposed to mean?!" Inuyasha asked, still holding her hand.

"I'm talking about Kik------forget it." She said, cutting off her sentence.

"You mean Kikyo right? How many times do I have to tell you? You are both two different people, and besides having similar looks to her, I know that is as far as your similarities go." He responded.

Kagome didn't reply and just looked away. "Can you let go of my hand?"

"I-------------"
"WOAH! YOU TWO MADE UP THAT* QUICK?!" Sota said running in referring to Inuyasha's grip on his sister's hand.
"Heh you two should get a prize for that!! Don't get too* fresh with her okay, Inuyasha?" Sota said smiling, going into his room to play video games.

"Eheheheheheheh..." Inuyasha said, trying to cover the blush creeping up on his face.

Kagome gave her brother a menacing look and cleared her throat. "Ahem, you were saying?"

"Huh? Oh! Yes! Um....My point is that you and Kikyo are nothing alike, personality wise.....and that I do* care about you not just Kikyo." He said still looking around to see if anyone else would approach them.

"Oh ok." She said sarcastically, pulling her hand away from his grasp.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing." She said sighing.

"Kagome, how many times do I have to say that I care* about you?!"

"WHOOOOOOO!!! YOU GO INUYASHA!!! SWEEP THE GIRL OFF HER FEET!" Sota yelled from inside his room.

"Uhm...yes! And.........uh.....yes! I care about you, okay?"

"Okay." Kagome replied simply.

"So....friends again?" Inuyasha asked, putting his hand out to shake Kagome's.

"Friends!" Kagome said happily. "Well, I'll be going now!"

"Remember what I said!!" Inuyasha said smiling after her.

"Sure....whatever...You care, more about Kikyo though." She whispered within fifty yards away from him. Her whisper was in a joking tone, but she had a bit of truth to it.

"HEY I HEARD THAT!" Inuyasha yelled running towards her playfully.

'I'd better run!' Kagome thought, running down the stairs trying to make sure the hanyou wouldn't catch up.

**********************************************************
"Kagome? Do me a favor will you? Will you go to the mall and pick some things up for me?" Kagome's mother asked.

"Sure! What do you want me to pick up?" Kagome asked.

"Just my watch. I went there to have it fixed. Something was wrong with it, and they said it would be ready today."

"Okay, sure!" Kagome said, taking the receipts her mother had given her to pick up the watch.

"Oh, Kagome? Sota wants to go pick up something too. He got straight A's this report card. Here's some money. Let him buy that new video game he wanted as a reward for his good grades."

"Do I have to take him with me?" Kagome groaned, knowing how much of a hassle Sota was at the mall.

"Yes, and I'd like you to take Inuyasha too."

"Inuyasha?! But why?!" Kagome yelled trying to sound like she meant it, when she really did want him to go with her.

"Kagome, you need to take him around the place. Here's going to be here a long time after all..." Her mother explained.

"But what if one of my friends sees me?"

"So? What's wrong with them seeing Inuyasha?"

"He has dog ears and silver hair!" Kagome countered.

"The hair is okay, you know a lot of young men are dying their hair all different colors nowadays. And his ears, a hat should do."

"But----------"

"Kagome, everyone knows he's your boyfriend, you should at least show him your future wedding dress." Her mom joked. 'I've got this feeling she will marry that boy' her mom thought happily.

"MOM! Quiet down! He'll hear you!"

************************************************
"MOM! Quiet down! He'll hear you!" Inuyasha heard.

"So, my sisters going to take me to the mall. You can come along, and I'll show you around the place!" Sota said giving the half-demon a long conversation.

"We're going to have so much fun! Right, Inuyasha?" He asked looking at the dog-demon.

'I wonder who Kagome's talking about.' Inuyasha thought referring to what he heard earlier.

"INUYASHA!!!!!" Sota yelled at the top of his lungs.

"AGH!!!!! MY EARS ARE SENSITIVE YOU KNOW!"

"So answer my question!" Sota smiled trying to have Inuyasha join in the conversation.

"Huh? Oh....yea, lots of fun. Sure thing, kid."

*************************************************
"Okay...I'll take Sota....and Inuyasha." Kagome said defeated.

"Good, now get going honey!" Kagome's mom said smiling, going into the kitchen to clean up.

'I'm really going to enjoy this.' Kagome thought.

"Inuyasha? Sota?" Kagome said knocking on the door.

"We're coming sis!" Sota said, opening the door revealing a "modernized" Inuyasha.

"Dumb odd clothes....." Inuyasha mumbled, fiddling with his hat.

'Wow he looks good in those.' Kagome thought. Trying to shake the thoughts in her mind she yelled out, "Well let's go! I don't have all night you know!" She said, grabbing Inuyasha and her brother running out the door.

"Let's take the bus. It'll only take five minutes." Kagome said, waiting in front of the bus stop.

Not long after, a bus came down the road and stopped where they were. Inuyasha, shocked by the buses sudden stop, took a fighting stance.

"Come on!" Kagome said, walking into the bus, paying the fine for all three of them.

"Kagome! Get out of there, you'll get hurt!" Inuyasha said, yelling worriedly.

"Inuyasha, it's okay." Kagome said, reassuringly.

"IT'S A DEMON! IT'LL EAT US ALIVE! DON'T WORRY, I'LL JUST GO BACK AND GET TETSUAIGA!!" He yelled.

"No! Inuyasha, don't get Tetsuaiga, it's okay. Trust me, I've been on these a lot."

Tentatively, Inuyasha walked up the steps, getting some looks from the people on the bus.

"What are you looking at?" Inuyasha asked, miffed.

With that, the people turned and went back to what they were doing.

"Feh."

"Inuyasha, come over here." Kagome motioned, with a seat next to her. "This will only take a couple of minutes."

"Okay....." He responded sitting down, very alert of all the sounds around him.

The bus driver then announced where they were going. "Next stop the mall." He said using the mini-microphone so everyone in bus could hear.

"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?" Inuyasha yelled jumping up.

Again, all the people stared at him oddly.

"Uhm....Inuyasha, it's okay." Kagome explained. "You see, that little black thing he held up makes his voice louder, so that everyone in the bus could hear where the next stop was."

"I heard it pretty well." Inuyasha scoffed, his ears twitching inside the hat. The people were still staring at Inuyasha, with wide eyes.

"Mind your own business!" Inuyasha growled.

"Heheheh.....Don't mind him," Kagome said, "He's new in the area."

With that, the people turned and occupied themselves with other things, besides Inuyasha.

****************************************
"We're here!" Kagome said happily, getting out the bus, making sure Inuyasha and her brother were close behind her.

"There's the mall!" Kagome said, pointing to a huge building. 'I wonder if I see any of my friends here.' She thought.

"Come on, lets go in!" Sota said, grabbing Inuyasha, pushing the door open.

Inuyasha's eyes became wide when he saw the place. People walking around everywhere. Different places to go into with many odd things in Kagome's world.

"Let's go to that place, mom wanted me to pick up the watch." Kagome said walking into the store.

"Hi, I'm here to pick up a watch that was repaired, please." Kagome said to the clerk.

"Last name please?"

"Higurashi."

"Thank you, wait one moment please." The clerk replied, fetching the watch.
"So, how you do like this world?" Sota asked Inuyasha.

"It's...odd." Inuyasha responded. 'Of course the fact that Kagome's here makes all the difference.' Inuyasha thought.

"Hey there handsome." Said a voice behind him. Inuyasha turned to find a girl about 5'4 wearing an extremely short skirt, shorter than Kagome's, with a very* low cut tank top on.

Inuyasha ignored her and turned around. "Hey, cutie, I'm talking to you." She said walking up to him.

Sota turned around and saw her talking to Inuyasha.

"Hey, he's not interested in you." Sota said.

"SHUT UP BRAT!" The girl said looking at Sota, pushing him down.

"Touch him again and I'll gouge your eyes out." Inuyasha said with a great depth of warning in his voice.

Kagome turned around and looked to see what was going on.

"Excuse me." Kagome said, getting in between Inuyasha and Sota.

"Oh, are you his girlfriend?" She asked giving Kagome a look.

"Heh, hey, cutie, I'll be a lot more fun than her."

Inuyasha looked at her looking like he was about to gag.

"You know, I think I've seen you around here somewhere." She said referring to Kagome.

Kagome ignored her.

"So, what's your choice?" She asked Inuyasha.

"I'd rather sleep in a bed full of roaches than even setting eyes on you." He growled.

"Oh, you'd rather this slut than me?"

"Say that one more time and I SWEAR I WILL RIP OUT YOUR HAIR." He said, trying to regain his temper. "If anyone here is a slut it's you." He responded.

"I don't have time for this." The girl said, exiting the store.

"Excuse me, miss?" said the clerk, "Your watch is ready."

********************************************
'WHO THE HECK DID THAT GIRL THINK SHE WAS?' Inuyasha thought angrily. 'CALLING KAGOME A SLUT. WHAT WOULD I GIVE TO GO AND KILL HER RIGHT NOW...WHAT WOULD I----' He was cut off of this thinking when he spotted a guy giving Kagome some looks.

Kagome backed away and took her brother away.

"Hey."

"Uhm, did you want something?" Kagome asked, motioning towards the entrance.

"Yea I--------" He was cut off by Inuyasha death glare behind Kagome.

"Uhm, nothing." He said, running out the door.

Kagome, not noticing Inuyasha was behind her, shrugged.

"Wonder why he ran away so quick." Kagome responded.

"Yea, I wonder." Inuyasha said mockingly.

"Can we go get my video game now?" Sota asked.

"Sure Sota, let's go." Kagome responded walking up to the video market.

"So Inuyasha, you like my world?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha was being asked that question a lot* now but he didn't mind coming from Kagome.

"Yea it's great." It was true he liked it, but mostly because of Kagome.

"Hey Kagome....can I talk to you tonight sometime?" He asked.

"Sure no problem."

"Okay, thanks."

"What's it about?"

"Oh, you'll see."
"SIS! COME ON! I NEED SOME MONEY!"

Q: Hey! I love your story! But I have a question... When Kikyo went to the hill to give Inuyasha the shikon no tama so he could become human but Naraku came and attacked her instead TAKEING the shikon no tama. So how in the world could Inuyasha go and STEAL it from the shrine after Kikyo attacked HIM? Are there two shikon no tama's or was the one Kikyo had a fake? I NEED ANSWERS!

A: Okay, I'll start from the beginning. I assume you already know about Kikyo and Inuyasha and the "betrayal?" Okay well, as you know Kikyo went back to the village to take the Shikon no Tama to have Inuyasha become a human. The real Shikon no Tama. There is no "fake" Shikon no Tama. Naraku attacked her, "posing" as Inuyasha, and slashing her shoulder insuring her death. Naraku, who was dressed up as Inuyasha took the Shikon Jewel after slashing Kikyo, saying something like "I have no desire whatsoever of becoming human. But I shall take the Shikon Jewel none the less. Thanks." So, he took the jewel. Kikyo, assuming it was Inuyasha, yelled "TRAITOR!" ^__^

Anyway, Naraku went back to the village where Kikyo got the Shikon no Tama and put it back where it came from. Back in the place Kikyo had got it from, in the temple/shrine.

Then, Naraku "dressed up" as Kikyo and went to Inuyasha who was waiting in the forest. He, dressed up as Kikyo, shot some arrows at Inuyasha yelling "DIE, INUYASHA." (Poor Inuyasha...^_^) Then, Inuyasha, thinking that Kikyo had betrayed him, managed to dodge the arrows. He went back to the village and stole the jewel. Remember, Naraku put the jewel back in the same place so Inuyasha knew where to find it. After all, before Inuyasha and Kikyo became friends he had tried to pursue it many times.

So he stole the jewel, now wanting to become full fledged demon, thinking that Kikyo had betrayed him. Kikyo, the real* Kikyo, took up her last strength and bound Inuyasha onto the tree with her Sacred arrow.

So I'm guessing now, the question is why* did Naraku put the jewel back, instead of just stealing it. Well, it is said that the more evil or hatred that the jewel consumed, the more "beautiful" it would become. Meaning, the more powerful it would become. And how can you make the jewel filled with hatred and malice?

Kikyo's soul duty was to protect the jewel. It was under her power. So when heart was pure and good, the jewel remained pure in a calm state. But when her heart began to be filled with malice and hatred the jewel would be tainted in the process making it more powerful. What better way to taint the Sacred Jewel with hatred and malice than having Kikyo be betrayed by someone she trusted deeply. (^___^) And that's why he did it. The jewel would become more powerful.

And why couldn't Naraku take the jewel after Kikyo and Inuyasha "died?" (I know I'm answering questions no one asked. But I assume some are wondering about this. ^___^) Well, Kikyo, took the jewel and had it burned with her body, making it impossible for Naraku to take the tainted jewel from her.

Sorry, it's pretty long!! I hope I answered your questions! Feel free anyone to ask me questions! AND DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!
