"Aren't we close enough?" Inuyasha asked looking into Kagome's eyes, with a hint of humor in his voice.
"I......." Kagome looked at him oddly putting her palm on his head. 'Is he sick or something?' She thought. Inuyasha looked her in the eyes and removed her hand.
"Aren't we?" He asked now irritated that Kagome thought that he was sick.
Kagome cleared her throat and stared at him. "Didn't you say you needed to talk to me?" She asked walking up the stairs, leaving him behind.
"Yea, I did. Can we talk?" He asked following her up the stairs. Kagome nodded and opened her room, letting him in and closing the room. She sighed and sat on her bed hugging her pillows and yawning a bit.
"So, what about?" She asked pulling out one of her textbooks beginning to answer some questions in her algebra class. Inuyasha looked at her and sighed inwardly.
'Can't she just forget about her school for just one minute?' He thought staring at her.
'Okay, this is weird. I feel like he's staring at me. Don't look up Kagome.' She told herself. 'Don't look up.....Don't look-----" Much to her surprise, Inuyasha came up to her and sat next to her on her bed. 'Shoot! Don't look up, don't look up, don't look----"
"Kagome." Inuyasha said not moving at all. Kagome merely nodded and said nothing. Not to mention she still refused to herself to look at him. 'Why is she avoiding me?' Inuyasha thought.
"Kagome, answer me a couple questions." He said suddenly. Kagome nodded, still looking at a problem in her math book.
"Aren't we close enough?" He asked again.
'Oh no, not that question again. Inuyasha I do like you a lot but you love Kikyo.' She thought sadly.
"Close enough...for what?" She asked, while pushing numbers on her calculator. 'Ok. 436 times 8 equals...'
"Don't play dumb with me Kagome. Answer the question."
Kagome remained silent. 'How I tell him how I feel when he loves Kikyo? 1,798 divided by 4.2 equals..'
"Feh. I guess you don't feel the same way then?" He asked, arrogance filling his voice.
"Same way, about what?" She asked continuously moving her pencil on her paper. 'The answer is..... 82.567 for this question.' She thought, trying to busy herself so she didn't pay attention to him.
"Kagome, answer me." He said trying to regain his temper.
Kagome sighed and looked at her book again. "Inuyasha, I've no idea whatsoever you're talking abou---------" Inuyasha grabbed her book and threw it on the ground and pulled her to him; intent to kiss her right then or there.
But then,
"Kagome? Honey! They're some mail for you!" Her mother yelled. Kagome, too shocked to do anything and immediately sprinted downstairs.
"Damn it! Why is it every time I try to kiss her something always interrupts?" Inuyasha asked himself.
"Inuyasha?" Sota piped coming in. "Have you kissed Kagome yet?"
Inuyasha just sat flabbergasted. It was like the whole world was trying to stop him from getting to Kagome. First, Miroku butts in, then, at the cliff in Kagome's world, she fell off right when he was going to tell her something, every time he tried talking to her, Hobo or Kouga would show up, and now* in her house, he's interrupted......again. He sighed angrily and clenched his fists.
"I have such bad luck." He groaned plopping himself onto the warm soft bed.
"Don't worry Inuyasha! You'll get there somehow! Uh..what's the matter?" Sota asked staring at the half-demon, who was lying on the bed, sprawled across having no idea about what just conspired.
"My life is a complete screw-up." He answered. "Ugh."
"It doesn't matter! Screw-up or not you'll always* be my HERO!!!" Sota said happily smiling, trying to pull the lazy half-demon off the bed.
Inuyasha sighed. 'Arg....'
*********************************************************
"How do you think Inuyasha is doing?" Miroku asked Sango who was staring intently at the deep blue sky.
"Why do you always ask that question?" She asked keeping her gaze at the skies.
"Because, I know they belong together." He replied simply, twirling his staff in his hands.
"They'll be a lot of obstacles." Sango replied lying down on the luscious grass.
"Yup." Shippo said, coming into the conversation. "There's that person Kagome's reincarnated from, there's Kouga, there's other people in Kagome's world...." He said playing with Kirara rolling around the ground.
"And there's the fact that Kagome and Inuyasha live in different times. And that, Kagome is human and Inuyasha is half-demon." Sango said, wondering how things would go.
"What does it matter? If two people truly love each other, than there is no obstacle they cannot defeat." He responded.
"What about Inuyasha? He's half-demon." Sango said.
"It's not the outside that matters, it's the inside." Miroku answered a bit offensively thinking Sango was insulting his friend. He wasn't mad at Sango though, he never could be. He was just a little irritated by her opinions.
"That's not what I mean. What I mean is....assuming Kagome and Inuyasha do get together. When they get married, well which time can they go in?" Sango asked.
Miroku nodded happy to see Sango wasn't insulting his friend and that he merely perceived a different definition than what she meant. "Well, if they live here, there's no problem. Kagome can visit her family through the well, or if anyone gets sick, or needs anything important, they can get it in Kagome's world.
"And what if they go to Kagome's world?" Sango asked.
"All the same. If Inuyasha uses the Shikon jewel to become human, he will fit in perfectly. If he uses it to become full-fledged demon..assuming that it doesn't change his heart and corrupt it, he could take a human form. Either way seems fine to me."
"If he becomes demon he's practically immortal. What about Kagome?"
"They are* ways to have a human stay with their spouse if need be."
Sango nodded, deciding not to let this conversation continue; thinking it would only lead to some arguments and brawls. Not to mention a little kitsune who is a little too* curious about what they were talking about.
"Inuyasha.....marry that girl?" said a voice in the bushes. The figured disappeared within a bush few minutes and walked off.
Sango and Miroku hadn't noticed anyone was there.
'Hmm...that scent.' Shippo thought sniffing the air.
"Hmm? Something wrong Shippo?" Sango asked, looking at the kitsune cub curiously.
"No....I'm ok." He said, shrugging at the faint scent he caught. 'Ah, who cares, without Kagome or Inuyasha here, no danger's bound to happen.' He thought.
"Mew..." Kirara mewed pulling on Shippo trying to see what was wrong and why the cub stopped playing the game.
"Huh? Oh Kirara! Sorry! So who's it?"
**************************************************
"What is it mom?" Kagome asked, looking through her mail.
"You've got some mail, why don't you check which you want to keep and which you don't." She said sweetly.
"Okay mom."

"Inuyasha just go down there and tell her you like her!" Sota mused, after the half-demon explained all this bad luck. Inuyasha didn't answer. He only rolled over on his side and looked out the window.
"Feh."
"Do you just want me to go down there and tell her?" He asked. With that, Inuyasha bolted up. He didn't bother to say anything, he just walked out the room, heading down stairs.
"All junk mail..." Kagome said to herself. 'I wonder what Inuyasha was doing.'
"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked walking down the stairs.
'I guess I'll soon find out.' Kagome thought.
"Yes?"
"Will you answer my question already?"
"Uh..."
"Just a simple yes or no will do." He said, annoyed tapping his fingers across the table.
Kagome just stood there silent as a mouse.
"Well? Answer me."
"Uhm.....What is this about?"
Inuyasha sighed. "I just want to know okay?" He said, looking straight at the door.
"How about Kikyo?"
"Kikyo? How'd Kikyo get in this conversation?" He asked, surprised by the quick change in the subject.
"The answer is yes. Now answer me." Kagome countered, mirroring Inuyasha's moves earlier.
"What about Kikyo?" Inuyasha asked. "All that matters is what we think."
"And you do* think about Kikyo. What about her?" She asked prying at Inuyasha.
"What do you mean?"
"I MEAN WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT HER SINCE I SAID YES." Kagome answered.
"Sis!"
Kagome ignored her brother and stared at Inuyasha. Inuyasha stood there, unsure of what to say.
"Well?"
"I don't know!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Why do you ask me questions like that if you already like someone else?!" She asked angrily, her eyes full of emotion.
"Look. If what you're asking is for me to forget Kikyo. I can't. " He said, talking about avenging Kikyo about Naraku. He wasn't talking about being with* Kikyo and never forgetting her, just avenging her. But Kagome had other ideas.
"OKAY. SO JUST GO TO HER THEN!"
"What are you so mad at me for?" He asked, thinking that the last thing he said was merely about avenging Kikyo.
"YOU SAID YOU CAN'T FORGET ABOUT HER. THEN GO!"
"I meant* that I can't forget about avenging her. Not* about being with her. I thought you would have seen that by now." He answered, a bit taken back by Kagome's actions.
'Damn, she's stubborn.' He thought.
"Look, Inuyasha. I know you like her* way more than me, so just go back to her!" Kagome yelled.
' HOW MANY TIMES TO I HAVE TO TELL HER?! KAGOME I SAID I CHOOSE YOU NOT KIKYO!!!!! ' He screamed mentally trying to keep control.
"Kagome----"
"Who are you going to chose? Answer me that question." She responded.
"I choose yo------"
"And you better tell the truth. Or I'll say the "S" word so many times you won't be able to walk until you're 130 years old." She said menacingly staring straight at his rosary.
Inuyasha gulped hard. 'Damn, she's scary when she's angry.' He smirked.
"What's that look? Answer the question!"
"I choose yo-------"
"Kagome? Would you like to go to the mall with Grandpa and me right now?" Her mother asked from the kitchen not knowing what was conspiring between the hanyou and her daughter. She and grandpa walked out of house just as Kagome answered.
"No thanks mom!" Kagome yelled, and immediately turning to Inuyasha. There was no way at all anything could interrupt this.
"What were you saying?" She asked.
"I'll choose you." He said. 'THERE I SAID IT. GOSH, I NEVER THOUGHT THINGS COULD BE THIS TOUGH.' He thought looking at the ground. He looked up at Kagome who had an unreadable look on her face.
"What?"
"No you won't. What about Kikyo?"
' ARG!!! FORGET KIKYO YOU STUPID GIRL! ' He thought.
" KAGOME WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?!" He asked very frustrated.
"YOU KNOW YOU LOVE KIKYO NO ME! IN THE END, AS I'VE SAID WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE?" She yelled at the top of her lungs.
Inuyasha had just about enough. He had lost his patience. He grabbed her forcefully and pulled her towards him looking into her eyes.
"SIS, INUYASHA!!!" Sota yelled.
" I'm not going to put this to a hold. "Inuyasha said. "No more interruptions."
Kagome looked at him oddly and tried to pry herself out of her arms.
"I SAID* I'D CHOOSE YOU AND I KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO." He said still holding her.
"Inuyasha you know you won't. I'm serious. Who? No let go of me and--------- " Kagome sentence was never finished. Inuyasha had pulled her to him while she was talking into a kiss. Kagome's eyes went huge and she stood there shocked.
Inuyasha pulled away after time and looked at her. After a few minutes he smirked at Kagome.
"Does that, answer your question?" He asked, smiling at her.
"I....why did you do that?" She asked.
Inuyasha put a finger up to her lips to shush her and whispered, "You know why."
*****************************************************
"MIROKU!! STOP IT!!!!" Sango yelled grabbing a towel and running out the hot spring she was in. The monk had again peeked at her bathing. Miroku smiled and ran after Sango, who was running back to Kaede's hut.
"Kaede help!" She yelled. She had left all her weapons in her hut and she didn't want to slap Miroku because that would mean pulling her hand away from the towel. She grimaced at the thought of what he would do.
"What is it child?" Kaede asked coming out of the hut. Shippo came out with Kirara. "Is it Naraku?" Shippo queried.
"NO IT'S WORSE!"
"What could be worse than Naraku?" Kaede asked from the distance.
"A PERVERTED MONK!!!!!!" She yelled, running even faster.
Shippo sighed, shook his head and grumbled. "Always happens."
"WAIT SANGO!!!" Miroku yelled.
By then Sango had managed to put on her kimono and grab Hiraikotsu. She arrived at the hut much faster than he did, considering her quickening pace. She hid behind something in the hut and waited for the monk to come in. As if on queue, Miroku came into the hut.
Kaede, Shippo and Kirara all gave him pitiful looks.
"What?" He asked innocently. The others just shook their heads at him and sat on the wooden floor next to the fireplace. Miroku shrugged and continued to walk in.
"HIRAIKOTSU!" Sango yelled trying to hit him.
"AGH!!!" He yelled, dodging the attack. Sango was heaving hard and held her weapon tight in her hand.
"PLEASE SANGO LET ME EXPLAIN!!! I WAS..." Sango whirled her weapon at him again, missing her target.
"PERVERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"I WAS JUST .. UH... " He kept thinking as he and Sango ran madly around the hut.
"I think it's best for us to leave before we get hurt." Kaede said to Shippo and Kirara; and in a matter seconds they were out of the hut leaving the couple out to kill each other. Well, at least with a crazy, not to mention angry, demon slayer about to kill a perverted monk.
"I WAS FISHING!! YES!! I WAS FISHING IN THE HOTSPRING!!! HEY THAT RHYMES!! FISHING HOTSRING!! HEY SANGO I -------- ACK!!!!!!!!!! " He yelled as the demon exterminator continued to aim at him.
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!! HOW CAN YOU FISH IN A HOTSPRING?! WITHOUT A FISHING POLE EVEN?!! " She screamed.
"EHEHEHEHEHEH!!!! UH... IT'S THE NEW TECHIQUE THESE DAYS!!!! WE MONKS LEARN HOW TO FISH WIITH OUR.UH.. STAFFS! YOU JUST THROW IT IN THE WATER AND WHAM!" He said happily. "I CALL IT THE MIROKU FISHING INSPIRAT-------SANGO PLEASE!!!" He yelled again dodging the boomerang.
"I CAN'T HELP IT!!!!"
With that, Sango put down her weapon. Miroku was heaving and sat the other floor breathing deeply in and out.
"What do you mean can't help it?" She asked looking at him, yards away.
"Well how can I? You're so beautiful it's hard not to look! Any guy who doesn't must be a fool." He said.
Sango blushed. 'Still perverted. But I hate to admit it...that monk is really sweet.' She thought, walking up to him.
"Stop trying to sweet talk yourself out of trouble." She said softly.
"I'm not, it's true." He responded, looking at Sango trying to attempt a smile. He failed because he was still heaving. Sango wasn't even breathing hard. Miroku looked at her and laughed.
"What?"
"You're cute when you're angry." He smirked.
"Really? How about with my boomerang?" She asked in a joking manner, referring to hitting him on the head.
"Eheheh.. You're cute then too. But it hurts when you hit me." He responded chuckling a bit. "I got used to it. This head is SANGO - KILL - MIROKU - TANTRUM - PROOF!!" He said happily.
Sango laughed at the monk's hearty manner. She continued to laugh as Miroku stared at her.
Then Miroku innocently kissed her on the lips while she laughed. Sango immediately stopped blushing and stared at the monk while it happened.
Shippo and the others were outside.
"Hey, it's getting quiet....Maybe they made up!" Shippo said walking back towards the tavern with Kaede and Kirara.
"Mew...." Kirara agreed.
Kaede went in and opened the door and found the monk and the exterminator still sharing a little "emotion."
"CONCEAL YE EYES CHILD!! YE ARE NO OLD ENOUGH FOR THIS!" She yelled putting her hand on Shippo's eyes. But it was too late, he saw. At least, for a few seconds.
Miroku and Sango quickly broke away and blushed. Sango ran out the room as fast as she could.
"WHAT I WANNA SEE!" Shippo yelled pulling Kaede's hand off his eyes. By that time, Sango was already out of the hut and Shippo looked at Miroku.
"Hey where's Sango?"
"She uh....left." Miroku said, fiddling with the rosary on his hand with the kazaana.
"What were you two doing?" Shippo asked innocently.
**************************************************************************** ***********************
"Kagome are you alright?" Inuyasha asked smiling at her.
"I'm fine. Inuyasha, you didn't just kiss me because of Kikyo....did you?"
"No. You know why I did. I choose you."
Kagome still had an eerie feeling lurking in her mind and she looked at him and smiled. She trusted him. Even if she didn't believe that everything with Kikyo was over.
"I know what you're thinking. Just trust me." He replied, pulling her into an embrace. "Do you trust me?" He asked, inhaling her scent.
"I trust you."
**************************************************************************** ********
"Inuyasha and the girl?" said a mysterious voice. "Heh.....I guess I'll have to pay Inuyasha a little visit when he returns." The figure said to itself, walking out of a forest. "I will."
**************************************************************************** *********
AND THAT'S THE END OF CHAPTER 17!! LIKE IT? SOMETHING HAPPENED!! HEHEH.. INUYASHA FINALLY KISSED KAGOME!!! AND I ADDED SANGO MIROKU FLUFF!!!

PLEASE REVIEW!
*Question and Answers
To all the people who say Inuyasha is OOC:
I'm sorry if he's not acting too much like he usually does.....But hey, I try. The reason he's so nice is because he's trying to let Kagome see how much of a good guy he can be.. Which explains his change in moods. Remember in the first chapters? He pretty much acted the way he should. Until Shippo's suggestion. I'm sorry!! I'll try!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR REVIEWING AND PLEASE CONTINUE TO READ AND REVIEW!! THANK YOU!!

"I MEAN WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT HER SINCE I SAID YES." Kagome answered.
"Sis!"
Kagome ignored her brother and stared at Inuyasha. Inuyasha stood there, unsure of what to say.
"Well?"
"I don't know!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Why do you ask me questions like that if you already like someone else?!" She asked angrily, her eyes full of emotion.
"Look. If what you're asking is for me to forget Kikyo. I can't. " He said, talking about avenging Kikyo about Naraku. He wasn't talking about being with* Kikyo and never forgetting her, just avenging her. But Kagome had other ideas.
"OKAY. SO JUST GO TO HER THEN!"
"What are you so mad at me for?" He asked, thinking that the last thing he said was merely about avenging Kikyo.
"YOU SAID YOU CAN'T FORGET ABOUT HER. THEN GO!"
"I meant* that I can't forget about avenging her. Not* about being with her. I thought you would have seen that by now." He answered, a bit taken back by Kagome's actions.
'Damn, she's stubborn.' He thought.
"Look, Inuyasha. I know you like her* way more than me, so just go back to her!" Kagome yelled.
' HOW MANY TIMES TO I HAVE TO TELL HER?! KAGOME I SAID I CHOOSE YOU NOT KIKYO!!!!! ' He screamed mentally trying to keep control.
"Kagome----"
"Who are you going to chose? Answer me that question." She responded.
"I choose yo------"
"And you better tell the truth. Or I'll say the "S" word so many times you won't be able to walk until you're 130 years old." She said menacingly staring straight at his rosary.
Inuyasha gulped hard. 'Damn, she's scary when she's angry.' He smirked.
"What's that look? Answer the question!"
"I choose yo-------"
"Kagome? Would you like to go to the mall with Grandpa and me right now?" Her mother asked from the kitchen not knowing what was conspiring between the hanyou and her daughter. She and grandpa walked out of house just as Kagome answered.
"No thanks mom!" Kagome yelled, and immediately turning to Inuyasha. There was no way at all anything could interrupt this.
"What were you saying?" She asked.
"I'll choose you." He said. 'THERE I SAID IT. GOSH, I NEVER THOUGHT THINGS COULD BE THIS TOUGH.' He thought looking at the ground. He looked up at Kagome who had an unreadable look on her face.
"What?"
"No you won't. What about Kikyo?"
' ARG!!! FORGET KIKYO YOU STUPID GIRL! ' He thought.
" KAGOME WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?!" He asked very frustrated.
"YOU KNOW YOU LOVE KIKYO NO ME! IN THE END, AS I'VE SAID WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE?" She yelled at the top of her lungs.
Inuyasha had just about enough. He had lost his patience. He grabbed her forcefully and pulled her towards him looking into her eyes.
"SIS, INUYASHA!!!" Sota yelled.
" I'm not going to put this to a hold. "Inuyasha said. "No more interruptions."
Kagome looked at him oddly and tried to pry herself out of her arms.
"I SAID* I'D CHOOSE YOU AND I KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO." He said still holding her.
"Inuyasha you know you won't. I'm serious. Who? No let go of me and--------- " Kagome sentence was never finished. Inuyasha had pulled her to him while she was talking into a kiss. Kagome's eyes went huge and she stood there shocked.
Inuyasha pulled away after time and looked at her. After a few minutes he smirked at Kagome.
"Does that, answer your question?" He asked, smiling at her.
"I....why did you do that?" She asked.
Inuyasha put a finger up to her lips to shush her and whispered, "You know why."
*****************************************************
"MIROKU!! STOP IT!!!!" Sango yelled grabbing a towel and running out the hot spring she was in. The monk had again peeked at her bathing. Miroku smiled and ran after Sango, who was running back to Kaede's hut.
"Kaede help!" She yelled. She had left all her weapons in her hut and she didn't want to slap Miroku because that would mean pulling her hand away from the towel. She grimaced at the thought of what he would do.
"What is it child?" Kaede asked coming out of the hut. Shippo came out with Kirara. "Is it Naraku?" Shippo queried.
"NO IT'S WORSE!"
"What could be worse than Naraku?" Kaede asked from the distance.
"A PERVERTED MONK!!!!!!" She yelled, running even faster.
Shippo sighed, shook his head and grumbled. "Always happens."
"WAIT SANGO!!!" Miroku yelled.
By then Sango had managed to put on her kimono and grab Hiraikotsu. She arrived at the hut much faster than he did, considering her quickening pace. She hid behind something in the hut and waited for the monk to come in. As if on queue, Miroku came into the hut.
Kaede, Shippo and Kirara all gave him pitiful looks.
"What?" He asked innocently. The others just shook their heads at him and sat on the wooden floor next to the fireplace. Miroku shrugged and continued to walk in.
"HIRAIKOTSU!" Sango yelled trying to hit him.
"AGH!!!" He yelled, dodging the attack. Sango was heaving hard and held her weapon tight in her hand.
"PLEASE SANGO LET ME EXPLAIN!!! I WAS..." Sango whirled her weapon at him again, missing her target.
"PERVERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"I WAS JUST .. UH... " He kept thinking as he and Sango ran madly around the hut.
"I think it's best for us to leave before we get hurt." Kaede said to Shippo and Kirara; and in a matter seconds they were out of the hut leaving the couple out to kill each other. Well, at least with a crazy, not to mention angry, demon slayer about to kill a perverted monk.
"I WAS FISHING!! YES!! I WAS FISHING IN THE HOTSPRING!!! HEY THAT RHYMES!! FISHING HOTSRING!! HEY SANGO I -------- ACK!!!!!!!!!! " He yelled as the demon exterminator continued to aim at him.
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!! HOW CAN YOU FISH IN A HOTSPRING?! WITHOUT A FISHING POLE EVEN?!! " She screamed.
"EHEHEHEHEHEH!!!! UH... IT'S THE NEW TECHIQUE THESE DAYS!!!! WE MONKS LEARN HOW TO FISH WIITH OUR.UH.. STAFFS! YOU JUST THROW IT IN THE WATER AND WHAM!" He said happily. "I CALL IT THE MIROKU FISHING INSPIRAT-------SANGO PLEASE!!!" He yelled again dodging the boomerang.
"I CAN'T HELP IT!!!!"
With that, Sango put down her weapon. Miroku was heaving and sat the other floor breathing deeply in and out.
"What do you mean can't help it?" She asked looking at him, yards away.
"Well how can I? You're so beautiful it's hard not to look! Any guy who doesn't must be a fool." He said.
Sango blushed. 'Still perverted. But I hate to admit it...that monk is really sweet.' She thought, walking up to him.
"Stop trying to sweet talk yourself out of trouble." She said softly.
"I'm not, it's true." He responded, looking at Sango trying to attempt a smile. He failed because he was still heaving. Sango wasn't even breathing hard. Miroku looked at her and laughed.
"What?"
"You're cute when you're angry." He smirked.
"Really? How about with my boomerang?" She asked in a joking manner, referring to hitting him on the head.
"Eheheh.. You're cute then too. But it hurts when you hit me." He responded chuckling a bit. "I got used to it. This head is SANGO - KILL - MIROKU - TANTRUM - PROOF!!" He said happily.
Sango laughed at the monk's hearty manner. She continued to laugh as Miroku stared at her.
Then Miroku innocently kissed her on the lips while she laughed. Sango immediately stopped blushing and stared at the monk while it happened.
Shippo and the others were outside.
"Hey, it's getting quiet....Maybe they made up!" Shippo said walking back towards the tavern with Kaede and Kirara.
"Mew...." Kirara agreed.
Kaede went in and opened the door and found the monk and the exterminator still sharing a little "emotion."
"CONCEAL YE EYES CHILD!! YE ARE NO OLD ENOUGH FOR THIS!" She yelled putting her hand on Shippo's eyes. But it was too late, he saw. At least, for a few seconds.
Miroku and Sango quickly broke away and blushed. Sango ran out the room as fast as she could.
"WHAT I WANNA SEE!" Shippo yelled pulling Kaede's hand off his eyes. By that time, Sango was already out of the hut and Shippo looked at Miroku.
"Hey where's Sango?"
"She uh....left." Miroku said, fiddling with the rosary on his hand with the kazaana.
"What were you two doing?" Shippo asked innocently.

"Kagome are you alright?" Inuyasha asked smiling at her.
"I'm fine. Inuyasha, you didn't just kiss me because of Kikyo....did you?"
"No. You know why I did. I choose you."
Kagome still had an eerie feeling lurking in her mind and she looked at him and smiled. She trusted him. Even if she didn't believe that everything with Kikyo was over.
"I know what you're thinking. Just trust me." He replied, pulling her into an embrace. "Do you trust me?" He asked, inhaling her scent.
"I trust you."
**************************************************************************** ********
"Inuyasha and the girl?" said a mysterious voice. "Heh.....I guess I'll have to pay Inuyasha a little visit when he returns." The figure said to itself, walking out of a forest. "I will."

*Question and Answers
To all the people who say Inuyasha is OOC:
I'm sorry if he's not acting too much like he usually does.....But hey, I try. The reason he's so nice is because he's trying to let Kagome see how much of a good guy he can be.. Which explains his change in moods. Remember in the first chapters? He pretty much acted the way he should. Until Shippo's suggestion. I'm sorry!! I'll try!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR REVIEWING AND PLEASE CONTINUE TO READ AND REVIEW!! THANK YOU!!
To: Lauren
Q: Do you know what happened to Shippo's mother?
A: Unfortunately, I don't. Rumiko or the episodes haven't specified the reason yet. But I assume that she died before Shippo's father, because Shippo did mention that he was an orphan. All I've heard was that Shippo's mother died when he was young (^_^) and that she died before his father. I'm sorry this isn't much of a help. But I hope that it helped you a bit at least.
