Author Notes: I'm very happy with the reviews I have received and I
appreciate all the effort and time you have placed into my story to date. I
will be back to school tomorrow so I will not have 4-5 new chapters up, but
I still will try to get 2-3. Well enjoy!

Kagome was growing very tired from pedaling, she had stopped since the early morning when they began the journey and Inu-Yasha was not yet ready to stop. Kagome didn't want to stop either because that meant he would let go of her. She had a plan for that later on though. Inu-Yasha noticed a slowing in the pace and was wondering what was happening, this bike is probably running out of energy he thought. "Kagome I think your bike thing needs a break it seems to be slowing down." Kagome couldn't help but laugh at Inu-Yasha he was just so cute when he had no clue of how things worked. "Feh, never mind don't bother stopping then." Inu-Yasha crossed his arms across his chest like normal, forgetting he had to hold onto Kagome and fell off the bike.
"Inu-Yasha are you ok?" Kagome was trying to hide the smirk and giggles as she was trying not to hurt the hanyous pride anymore. "And Inu-Yasha the bike slowed down because I am tired. I have to pedal the bike to make it go forwards." Inu-Yasha now felt really stupid, oh how he hated these new things.
"Feh whatever I say we ditch the stupid thing and eat a bit!" Inu-Yasha temper was starting to rise why did they have to invite these bikes he wondered.
Kagome fished out some ramen her mother had packed and poured it into a small bowl for her and Inu-Yasha to share. "What you aren't going to cook it this time?" He was completely confused he tried ramen uncooked before the horrible taste was still in his mouth.
"It's already been cooked my mom did it while were packing for this trip." Silly Inu-Yasha she thought always thinking with his stomach and not with his head.
After a quick lunch were very little was said Inu-Yasha shouldered his pack once again and hoped on the bike. Kagome was wondering what he was doing. "Kagome are you coming or not, you said you were tired so I figured I'd pedal for a bit." Kagome must have looked like an idiot because her jaw dropped about 5 inches, showing her perfect teeth. Inu-Yasha thought wow everything about her is perfect, her hair, her eyes, her teeth. He was disrupted from his thoughts when Kagome hoped on the back and grabbed hold of his waist firmly. "Um Kagome.how do I make it pedal?" A look of pure idiocy was on his face.
Kagome gently hoped off and placed one of his feet on the peddles and told to push off with the other feet. "After you push off you place your other foot on the peddle and push on them to make go in circles." She gave him a radiant smile of reassurance that made him feel really warm inside. Inu-Yasha pushed off hard and took off the hill leaving Kagome behind. This isn't so bad he thought as he continued going straight. The road forked up ahead. "KAGOME HOW DO YOU TURN THIS THING!" A large crash was heard and Kagome ran towards were Inu-Yasha should be, to her astonishment he was hang upside down in a tree with his arms crossed. "Feh, we walk from now on got it!" Kagome started to laugh and gave the poor hanyou out of the tree.
"Whatever you say Inu-Yasha, she said with a small grin on her face."
Inu-Yasha picked up the bike in one hand and placed Kagome on his back as he took off towards Jinenji's place. With in an hour they were speaking to Jinenji and asking about the herbs, once again Jinenji was glad to help them out, his mother praised them on helping the villagers see who Jinenji truly was. Inu-Yasha and Kagome went back to Kaedes' as fast as he could carry all the gear and Kagome. As Kagome rode on Inu-Yasha's back she fell into silence and deep thought.
~ Kagome's Thoughts ~
I can't believe how much Inu-Yasha has changed over the past four days; he has stopped calling me wench and has treated us all with more kindness. Inu- Yasha what has happened to you, I first saw the change when you were fighting Shesso-maru, then you come to save me near the well. Do you think me that helpless? You have given me fewer fights and listen more, do you really love me, and what about Kikyo, is it because I look like her. I'm so lost right now; I love you so much I know that now, watching you lye there on that bed, your blood covering everything. I almost lost you then and I know now if you were to leave me ever I would not want to face another day. God it's so nice to hold you like this, as you carry me above the trees, I can see everything and I know as long as you are here I'll figure this all out.
~ Inu-Yasha's Thoughts ~
What is this I'm feeling, I've never felt this way about anyone not even Kikyo. Kikyo I'm sorry I couldn't protect you so long ago, and I will never forgive myself for that but I now must protect Kagome. It feels so good to have her hands grasping my neck, it's like she trusts me with all her heart. None has ever trusted me before. My old man told me once; "Son you are not demon, and yet not human, you are more then both combined." I never knew what that meant but I do now. I have the strengths of a demon but the heart of a human. Kagome I do love you I'll show you one day, just not yet.
Inu-Yasha landed at Kaedes's hut, Kagome got off his back and ran towards the hut as fast as she could to give the herbs to Kaede. Inu-Yasha watched her as she ran to help her best friend Sango. Miroku came outside to meet Inu-Yasha, there was nothing more he could do, of course he was a healer but compared to Kaede he knew nothing. Both joined hands and walked to the hut together. In the setting the pair looked like heroes from a distant land returning home to find where they belonged. This is where they belonged and they knew it.
