"SIS! COME ON! I NEED SOME MONEY!" Sota exclaimed taking Inuyasha and Kagome out of their conversation.
"Okay, okay....." Kagome said, walking up to clerk and handing him the video game.
"That will be $37.92 please." The clerk answered. Kagome took out her money and handed it to the clerk, walking back to Sota.
"$37.92? Sota do you have any idea how much other* things you can buy with that money instead of a dumb fighting game?"
Sota stuck his tongue out at his sister. "Mom says, that if I get good grades I should be able to buy something as a reward. She did that for you too." He said.
"Yea......but you need to-----------"
"Hey it's not any better than all that clothes and makeup and stuff that you buy!" Sota yelled before his sister could finish her sentence. Kagome blushed and countered her brother.
"That was before. I only spend on things I can use." She replied. "Unless there's a really special occasion, than I can go and get clothes and makeup and jewelry and stuff."
"That's because you go to the feudal era with Inuyasha! You don't really spend much time in this world to go to the mall. You go over in that era killing demons!"
People in the store who passed Sota looked at him with confusion. Many mumbled things like 'Kids these days, such wild imaginations.'
"Keep it down will ya!" Kagome said, pulling her brother out of the store. "And since you mentioned clothes, I might as well check if they're any sales!" Kagome said smiling at her brother.
He brother heavily sighed. "But Kagome, we'll be here all night!"
"Hey lets go in that store! I promise it'll only be a minute!" Kagome replied running into the store.
"More like two hours."
They entered a jewelry store, and Sota exhaled deeply. "Well Inuyasha, you might as well sit down. This is going to take a while."
"Sota I heard that! I'm just checking if that necklace I wanted is still here!" She yelled.
She looked inside the glass cover and found a beautiful necklace. It was silver and a tiny diamond hung on the bottom. She looked at it adoringly.
"Hey, what the heck is that?" Inuyasha asked smugly.
"Nothing, it's just a necklace."
"Feh. Nacklace? Odd girl." Inuyasha smirked.
"Necklace. I've wanted to for a while." Kagome responded. "Let's go!" She said running out the store.
Inuyasha turned around and looked at the necklace.
"May I help you sir?" Inuyasha looked up and stared at the clerk oddly, shifting his glance to see the necklace again.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled from afar, "COME ON!! WE STILL HAVE THE BUS TO CATCH!!!"
"No thanks." Inuyasha said running out the store.
Inuyasha ran up to catch up with Kagome. "What is it?" He asked a bit annoyed that she rushed him out the store.
She ran out the sliding doors without an explanation.
"She doesn't wanna walk home." Sota replied. "The bus is stopping in....." he stopped to look at his watch, "actually, it already stopped five minutes ago."
"Busht? Oh you mean that big thing with the odd people in it?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yup. Too bad Kagome doesn't know the bus already stopped and that she's too late."
***************************************************
"What where is the bus?" Kagome said to herself. "Where are those guys?"
Ten minutes later, Inuyasha and Sota came walking to her in no rush at all.
"COME ON! THE BUS WILL BE HERE IN--------------"
"The bus already stopped here. Now, 15 minutes ago." Sota responded smirking.
"What? Great! Now we have to walk home! And it's over a half an hour away!" Kagome yelled when she felt a trickle on her nose.
"Is that rain? RAIN?! Oh great! We'll be walking home, in the dark*, in the rain*, alone, for over a half an hour!"
"What are you so worried about sis? Inuyasha will protect us if anything comes and attacks us." He responded.
"Right Inuyasha?" Sota asked, looking up at his role-model.
"Uh, sure thing kid." He said shrugging.
********************************************
They had been walking for five minutes now, and since then, the rain became much harder. Kagome shivered as each little drop fell on her pale skin. Sota was busy running and playing in the puddles. Not to mention he had a long, warm* coat, with a hood to wear. Kagome only had a thin sweatshirt over her short-sleeve, and.....she was wearing a skirt.
'Oh great. This is just great. It's so cold. We have a long way before we get home, and my brother* is all warm in his coat.' She thought shivering. She yelped when Sota accidentally splashed water on her.
"Sota...I'm.....cold already....Don't splash me..." Kagome said between breaths and shivers.
"Sorry about that!" Sota said happily, running ahead of her.
"DON'T GO TOO FAR!" Kagome yelled afraid if anything would happen to him.
'What luck. I hate my life. I hate my life. I hate my-----' she was pulled out of her thoughts when a heavy, not to mention warm coat fell on her head and shoulders.
She turned around and looked at Inuyasha.
"Should keep you warm." Inuyasha said, not saying much after.
"Thanks." She said with a shiver. "But, how about you?"
"Feh! Don't worry about me! I'm half - demon I can--------------"
*Flashback*
"Now remember Inuyasha, be NICE to Kagome. Don't let your pride and rudeness get the better of you." The monk replied.
"You know, I can be nice, monk." He replied turning away.
"I'll believe it. When I see it." Miroku replied smugly. "You'll never get Kagome if you act cold and rudely as always!"
"Feh! Watch me!
*End Flashback*
Inuyasha remembered a conversation he had with the monk a while ago and remembered that the only way to have Kagome at least like him as a friend was to be nice to her.
(A/N Remember Shippo's plan, about him being nice to Kagome? Well, he had a little chat with Miroku too. Personally, I think Inuyasha is generally nice in my point of view, he's just trying to hide it. :D )
"Inuyasha? Something wrong?" Kagome asked. "You can have you're robe back."
"No that's alright, I'm fine." He said.
"COME ON YOU GUYS!! WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?! YOU GUYS CAN HAVE YOUR "ROMANTIC" TALKS AT HOME!" Sota yelled winking at them.
"Sota! Come back here and explain what you mean by that! Sota? Sota!" Kagome yelled, running after her brother.
Sota continued to run down the slippery sidewalk with Inuyasha and his sister not too far from him. Inuyasha was of course, not using his true speed; he was more like....jogging. Kagome, she was running as fast as she could.
"Kids have so much energy nowadays..." Kagome said stopping for a breather. Inuyasha stopped with her and laughed. "And what, may I ask is so funny?"
"Heh. Tired already?" He said smugly. 'OH SHOOT! DON'T LET MY EGO RUIN THIS!' Inuyasha thought.
"I mean, uh....I'm a bit uh, tired too." He lied.
"Yea? You sure aren't breathing hard. And I still have get Sota." Kagome replied, coughing a bit.
"I'll get him." He said, running off into oblivion, coming back with a squirming Sota in his hands in a matter of seconds.
"Hey kid, do me a favor. Stick around with me and your sister. Alright?" He said to Sota.
Sota's eyes were glimmering with adoration at his role model. "SURE INUYASHA! YOU'RE SO COOL!" He said, hugging the half-demon. 'And you are going to be my brother sometime!' Sota thought happily.
"Thanks, kid. We'd better get going. Kagome, Sota, get on." He said kneeling down.
"Inuyasha you're going to have to carry us pretty far." Kagome said. Sota, was jumping up and down and was already on the demon's back.
"Come on Kagome. If I can fight numerous demons at one time, I'm pretty sure I can carry a girl, not to mention the girl who I carry pretty much every day, and her little brother on my back..for about five minutes." He said smirking.
"COOL!" Sota said with even more admiration.
"If you're so eager to carry us, why didn't you suggest it earlier?" Kagome responded a light smile forming on her lips.
'I didn't suggest it before because walking home would take longer. Meaning, I could spend more time with you, woman!' He thought.
"Feh! I just thought of it!" He said turning around. "You know with you and your brother complaining and all." He mumbled.
Kagome just smiled at him knowing he was trying to hide something. She just wasn't sure what. 'I wonder what's got him so flustered?' Kagome thought.
"Are you going to get on or what?" Inuyasha asked. 'At least this way, Kagome's a bit close to me.' He thought madly.
"I'm coming." She said getting on. Kagome was blushing half because of her brother being there when she was on Inuyasha and half because of just being on him again.
"Hold on tight." He said grinning. Kagome couldn't see the grin though, because she was on his back and because it was dark outside. Even after his request for her to hold on tight. She only timidly put her arms around his shoulders below his neck.
'Heh, I'll fix that.' Inuyasha thought, blazing off to an extremely rapid start. Kagome screamed and held on Inuyasha as tight as she could, hoping she wouldn't fall.
'That's right Kagome, hold on.' Inuyasha thought, chuckling to himself hoping she'd hold on tighter.
'YOU ARE SO GREEDY.' A voice told him.
'Forcing her to hold you while you go to an extremely rapid speed. You're pretty clever, I must say.' Said another.
'Yea well so what if she holds on to me? She is my* woman.' A voice said smugly.
'YOUR WOMAN?! And what do you mean by that?! You haven't even kissed her, let alone do that!'
'Hey I'm working on it okay?!" Said another voice in his head.
"COOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!" Sota yelled with a huge grin on his face.
*********************************************
Within about five minutes they were at Kagome's house. Inuyasha was rubbing his ears from Sota's screaming. 'That kid yells pretty loud.' He thought.
"Kagome where were you?" He mom asked, not with a worried tone, just a tone of curiosity.
"We missed the bus." She responded drying her hair. Kagome mother nodded and smiled.
"Inuyasha, did you take Kagome and Sota back?" Kagome's mother asked sweetly, giving Inuyasha's ears a little tweak. (A/N I WANNA DO THAT TOO! ^_^)
Inuyasha nodded and smiled at her. "Thank you Inuyasha."
"You're welcome. No problem." He said giving her a winning smile. 'No problem at all, as long as Kagome's there.' He thought. 'I guess I do have good luck today.'
"Sota, you got that game you wanted?" His mother asked. Sota nodded vigourously. "YUP! AND INUYASHA WAS SOOOOOOO COOL!" Kagome's mother smiled and laughed, happy to see that her son was happy.
She looked over at her daughter and gave Kagome a sly smile. "What?" Kagome asked innocently. "What are you smiling at?"
"Just what did you and Inuyasha do?" Kagome's mom asked with a tone Kagome couldn't identify.
"Uh....nothing. He just took me and Sota on his back and gave us a ride home." She replied simply.
"Are you sure?" Her mom said, her grin growing even larger.
"Mom! What's wrong? What are you looking at? Of course that was all that happened."
"Kagome, I know you're growing up." Her mother said smiling looking at her once again.
"What are you talking about?" Kagome asked, now confused as ever.
"Kagome, you can tell me anything. Personal, you know, important things if you like, okay?" Kagome's mom said. "You're so grown up now! My little girl! When are you going to get married?"
"MARRIED?" Kagome yelled. "Huh? Where'd that come from?" She asked jumping up in anticipation.
"Okay Kagome," her mother said winking at Kagome, "remember you can tell me anything... personal* or just anything." She said walking out of the living room.
Inuyasha only stood there bug-eyed and had no idea what was going on. 'Married? I wonder what her mom said by that.'
Kagome looked at Inuyasha and asked him if he had any idea about what was going on. Inuyasha merely looked at her and shrugged, giving her the "I don't know," answer look deep within his eyes.
Kagome went up to a mirror to look at herself to find out what her mother was staring at.
When she reached the mirror her eyes became wide. Her hair was in a mess, looking like she had moved around a lot, she was soaking wet, and* she was wearing Inuyasha's outer kimono. Not to mention Inuyasha had nothing* but a shaft and his kimono's pants on. She knew exactly what this looked liked. She screamed and ran after the direction her mom went.
"MOM WAIT!! IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!! WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT I SWEAR!!!" She yelled running in.
"I wonder what got her so excited like." Her brother said looking at Inuyasha.
"I don't know. Does she..usually yell like that?" He asked, still not understanding what was going on.
"Beats me." He replied shrugging.
Kagome came running in pulling her mother along with her heaving heavily.
"Inuyasha. Tell her we didn't do anything." She said pleading him. Kagome's mother however was laughing to herself and winking at Inuyasha.
"Tell her, what?"
"Oh, nothing Inuyasha." Kagome's mother replied simply, "I forgot to tell you. Hojo's waiting in the living room."
"Inuyasha and I did not----------HOJO?!" Kagome yelled. "Wha.What?"
"Hello Kagome." Hojo said coming out of no where, smiling at Kagome winking at her, at the same time giving Inuyasha a smug look. "Oh, hi. Uhm, Inuyasha..? Is it?" He asked smugly.
"Inuyasha. And you're Hobo."
"HOJO." He said, emphasizing the "JO" in his name.
"Oh my mistake." Inuyasha said turning away from him.
"Miss Higurashi, what were you saying about Kagome and Inuyasha?" He asked glaring at Inuyasha.
"Nothing happened!" Kagome said blushing furiously, staring madly at her feet.
"Kagome you know Inuyasha is your boyfriend."
Kagome didn't say anything just continued to blush. Hojo was staring at them with a blank stare.
"Inuyasha, aren't you Kagome's boyfriend?" Kagome's mother asked, motioning in front of him.
"Yea, I'm her boyfriend!!!!" Inuyasha responded quickly. Poor Inuyasha thought a boyfriend was merely a friend that was a boy. He never knew the true meaning.
"You see Kagome! No need to hide it from us!" Kagome's mother said happily. Kagome looked up shocked, staring at Inuyasha.
"You're her boyfriend?" Hojo asked looking at Inuyasha menacingly.
"Yea!"
"Inuyasha?" Kagome began, understanding he may have misunderstood the meaning of 'boyfriend'.
"What Kagome it's true!"
Kagome blushed. 'I wish.' She thought.
"How long have you two known each other?" Hojo asked.
"A long time! We're good friends! We travel together and go everywhere!"
"Go everywhere?" Hojo said staring at Kagome shocked.
"YEA! AND.. WE GO TO FESTIVALS TOGETHER!"
"You..do?" Hojo asked.
"YEA! SHE GOT ME OFF A TREE!" He yelled confidently. Kagome's mother looked at him and laughed. Hojo, had no idea what 'off a tree meant'.
"A...tree?" He said, thinking of many* things that could have conspired in his mind.
"That's where we first met!" He said triumphantly.
"Oh....first met....? Is that true Kagome?" Hojo asked turning to Kagome who was blushing furiously.
"Um...sort of." She said, shifting her feet trying to conceal her face.
"SORT OF? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WE GO EVERYWHERE TOGETHER! EVERYWHERE! ALWAYS HELPING EACH OTHER AND DOING LOTS OF STUFF*!!!"
"Uh.....other stuff?" Hojo said staring at the two of them thinking that 'stuff ' meant a little something more..personal and intimate. Kagome was now as red as Inuyasha's kimono and Inuyasha was not shy at all, just a little confused by Hojo's reaction.
"Uhm..yea?" Inuyasha said looking at Hojo oddly.
"OH..uh..Kagome.? Errr..uh..I gotta go! I'll see ya tomorrow huh?" He said kissing her on the cheek, making Inuyasha boiling with fury.
************************************************
"Kagome what's wrong?" Inuyasha asked not knowing why she was blushing so hard.
"Inuyasha, do you have any idea what a boyfriend is?"
"Yea! A friend that's a boy!" He said happily chewing on some food he had.
"Uh...no. It's uhm....like a couple, but not married." She said shyly.
With that, Inuyasha spat out his food. "IT IS?!" 'Well, then I wanna be her boyfriend.' He thought smiling to himself.
"UH..yea.." 'I knew he didn't mean it.' Kagome thought.
"Aren't we close enough?" Inuyasha asked looking into Kagome's eyes, with a hint of humor in his voice.
"I......."

END OF CHAPTER 16!!!!! CHAPTER 17 WILL BE UP SOON!!! PLEASE READ MY RESPONSES AND NOTES!! THANKS!! AND REVIEW PLEASE!!
Q: inuyasha94 Does Inuyasha have human ears when he's a hanyou? Because to me its weird having only dog ears but not human ears. Can you answer that for me? I've been trying to find out but I've never seen human ears and when he gets hurt his silvery white hair is blocking the area where the ear is supposed to be.
A: Well, you see,the reason why no one can see anything behind his hair, is because he has no ears under his hair. When he is a hanyou he only has the dog-ears, which in my opinion are soooo cute!!!!!! Uhm...hehe sorry bout that, couldn't help myself. Anyway, when he's hanyou, as I've said, all he has is the dog ears.
However, he does have human ears. On the night of the new moon, he turns into a human. It happens every once a month, he turns human on the new moon or the beginning of each month. Sorry if I'm explaining too much...^__^ But on that night, his silver hair becomes black, he's eyes more to a dark violet color, his claws disappear, and his dog ears disappear. That's when he has his human ears, only that day when he turns human.
Well I hope to have answered you're question!! Thanks for reading my story and please continue to review and read! Feel free to ask me anything else! As I've said before, I love answering questions! Thanks again! By the way, heheheh..I think Inuyasha is cute as a half demon and a human. ^__^
Oops! Sorry again! I just love Inuyasha!
To all the people who gave Kikyo some nicknames/comments: Heheh, I like them all! Please continue to read and review my story!! Thanks a bunch!

She looked over at her daughter and gave Kagome a sly smile. "What?" Kagome asked innocently. "What are you smiling at?"
"Just what did you and Inuyasha do?" Kagome's mom asked with a tone Kagome couldn't identify.
"Uh....nothing. He just took me and Sota on his back and gave us a ride home." She replied simply.
"Are you sure?" Her mom said, her grin growing even larger.
"Mom! What's wrong? What are you looking at? Of course that was all that happened."
"Kagome, I know you're growing up." Her mother said smiling looking at her once again.
"What are you talking about?" Kagome asked, now confused as ever.
"Kagome, you can tell me anything. Personal, you know, important things if you like, okay?" Kagome's mom said. "You're so grown up now! My little girl! When are you going to get married?"
"MARRIED?" Kagome yelled. "Huh? Where'd that come from?" She asked jumping up in anticipation.
"Okay Kagome," her mother said winking at Kagome, "remember you can tell me anything... personal* or just anything." She said walking out of the living room.
Inuyasha only stood there bug-eyed and had no idea what was going on. 'Married? I wonder what her mom said by that.'
Kagome looked at Inuyasha and asked him if he had any idea about what was going on. Inuyasha merely looked at her and shrugged, giving her the "I don't know," answer look deep within his eyes.
Kagome went up to a mirror to look at herself to find out what her mother was staring at.
When she reached the mirror her eyes became wide. Her hair was in a mess, looking like she had moved around a lot, she was soaking wet, and* she was wearing Inuyasha's outer kimono. Not to mention Inuyasha had nothing* but a shaft and his kimono's pants on. She knew exactly what this looked liked. She screamed and ran after the direction her mom went.
"MOM WAIT!! IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!! WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT I SWEAR!!!" She yelled running in.
"I wonder what got her so excited like." Her brother said looking at Inuyasha.
"I don't know. Does she..usually yell like that?" He asked, still not understanding what was going on.
"Beats me." He replied shrugging.
Kagome came running in pulling her mother along with her heaving heavily.
"Inuyasha. Tell her we didn't do anything." She said pleading him. Kagome's mother however was laughing to herself and winking at Inuyasha.
"Tell her, what?"
"Oh, nothing Inuyasha." Kagome's mother replied simply, "I forgot to tell you. Hojo's waiting in the living room."
"Inuyasha and I did not----------HOJO?!" Kagome yelled. "Wha.What?"
"Hello Kagome." Hojo said coming out of no where, smiling at Kagome winking at her, at the same time giving Inuyasha a smug look. "Oh, hi. Uhm, Inuyasha..? Is it?" He asked smugly.
"Inuyasha. And you're Hobo."
"HOJO." He said, emphasizing the "JO" in his name.
"Oh my mistake." Inuyasha said turning away from him.
"Miss Higurashi, what were you saying about Kagome and Inuyasha?" He asked glaring at Inuyasha.
"Nothing happened!" Kagome said blushing furiously, staring madly at her feet.
"Kagome you know Inuyasha is your boyfriend."
Kagome didn't say anything just continued to blush. Hojo was staring at them with a blank stare.
"Inuyasha, aren't you Kagome's boyfriend?" Kagome's mother asked, motioning in front of him.
"Yea, I'm her boyfriend!!!!" Inuyasha responded quickly. Poor Inuyasha thought a boyfriend was merely a friend that was a boy. He never knew the true meaning.
"You see Kagome! No need to hide it from us!" Kagome's mother said happily. Kagome looked up shocked, staring at Inuyasha.
"You're her boyfriend?" Hojo asked looking at Inuyasha menacingly.
"Yea!"
"Inuyasha?" Kagome began, understanding he may have misunderstood the meaning of 'boyfriend'.
"What Kagome it's true!"
Kagome blushed. 'I wish.' She thought.
"How long have you two known each other?" Hojo asked.
"A long time! We're good friends! We travel together and go everywhere!"
"Go everywhere?" Hojo said staring at Kagome shocked.
"YEA! AND.. WE GO TO FESTIVALS TOGETHER!"
"You..do?" Hojo asked.
"YEA! SHE GOT ME OFF A TREE!" He yelled confidently. Kagome's mother looked at him and laughed. Hojo, had no idea what 'off a tree meant'.
"A...tree?" He said, thinking of many* things that could have conspired in his mind.
"That's where we first met!" He said triumphantly.
"Oh....first met....? Is that true Kagome?" Hojo asked turning to Kagome who was blushing furiously.
"Um...sort of." She said, shifting her feet trying to conceal her face.
"SORT OF? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WE GO EVERYWHERE TOGETHER! EVERYWHERE! ALWAYS HELPING EACH OTHER AND DOING LOTS OF STUFF*!!!"
"Uh.....other stuff?" Hojo said staring at the two of them thinking that 'stuff ' meant a little something more..personal and intimate. Kagome was now as red as Inuyasha's kimono and Inuyasha was not shy at all, just a little confused by Hojo's reaction.
"Uhm..yea?" Inuyasha said looking at Hojo oddly.
"OH..uh..Kagome.? Errr..uh..I gotta go! I'll see ya tomorrow huh?" He said kissing her on the cheek, making Inuyasha boiling with fury.
************************************************
"Kagome what's wrong?" Inuyasha asked not knowing why she was blushing so hard.
"Inuyasha, do you have any idea what a boyfriend is?"
"Yea! A friend that's a boy!" He said happily chewing on some food he had.
"Uh...no. It's uhm....like a couple, but not married." She said shyly.
With that, Inuyasha spat out his food. "IT IS?!" 'Well, then I wanna be her boyfriend.' He thought smiling to himself.
"UH..yea.." 'I knew he didn't mean it.' Kagome thought.
"Aren't we close enough?" Inuyasha asked looking into Kagome's eyes, with a hint of humor in his voice.
"I......."

END OF CHAPTER 16!!!!! CHAPTER 17 WILL BE UP SOON!!! PLEASE READ MY RESPONSES AND NOTES!! THANKS!! AND REVIEW PLEASE!!
Q: inuyasha94 Does Inuyasha have human ears when he's a hanyou? Because to me its weird having only dog ears but not human ears. Can you answer that for me? I've been trying to find out but I've never seen human ears and when he gets hurt his silvery white hair is blocking the area where the ear is supposed to be.
A: Well, you see,the reason why no one can see anything behind his hair, is because he has no ears under his hair. When he is a hanyou he only has the dog-ears, which in my opinion are soooo cute!!!!!! Uhm...hehe sorry bout that, couldn't help myself. Anyway, when he's hanyou, as I've said, all he has is the dog ears.
However, he does have human ears. On the night of the new moon, he turns into a human. It happens every once a month, he turns human on the new moon or the beginning of each month. Sorry if I'm explaining too much...^__^ But on that night, his silver hair becomes black, he's eyes more to a dark violet color, his claws disappear, and his dog ears disappear. That's when he has his human ears, only that day when he turns human.
Well I hope to have answered you're question!! Thanks for reading my story and please continue to review and read! Feel free to ask me anything else! As I've said before, I love answering questions! Thanks again! By the way, heheheh..I think Inuyasha is cute as a half demon and a human. ^__^
