"You'll Think Of Me" by Inu Faceness

Chapter Two: Back to the Way They Were

Kagome and Inu Yasha walked to her sleeping bag, hand in hand. No one had moved, save a certain lecher to a snoozing taijiya, since the hanyou's departure. The sun was beginning to raise, so Kagome decided to pack up. Carefully removing the kitsune, she folded her sleeping bad and put it into her worn out bag. For two long years it had been there, carrying everything from herbs to schoolbooks to the all-famous ramen.

Inu Yasha stood, holding the kitsune in his arms. Shippo snuggled close to his chest and sighed sufficiently. Kagome turned, moving the large bag to her shoulders, and smiled happily at the two. They were always fighting and hitting each other like 'bitter enemies'. Shippo would say something, making Inu Yasha angry, leading to the chase, and ending with a crying kitsune. She laughed lightly and he looked at her with one eyebrow cocked.

"What are you laughin' at?" he asked, taking a few steps so he was right in front of her. She patted Shippo's head as he lay in the hanyou's arms.

"It's cute the way you're holding him," Inu Yasha looked away, a slight pinkness on his face, and handed the slightly awake kitsune to her.

"Feh, I did nothing," he folded his arms across his chest and looked at her again. "You think we should wake 'em all up? We need to get goin'." Kagome sighed. 'Same old Inu Yasha.' She nodded and walked over to Sango. She nudged her gently and whispered in her ear to wake up. Her 'sister' woke slowly, yawning and stretching. Inu Yasha, on the other hand, wasn't being so settle.

"Oi! Wake up!" he yelled, kicking the semi-awake houshi in a less than humane fashion. "Shards are waiting and you are lounging! Come on!" As a foot was flying at his face, Miroku put up an arm to protect himself, only to...succeed. Inu Yasha kicked his arm, cracking one of the prayer beads. "Shit," he mumbled.

"OH! Your beads!" Kagome rushed to Miroku to examine the beads. They wouldn't last more than a week. "If I could go to my time, Miroku, I could get you another strand."

"Thank you, Lady Kagome. I would greatly appreciate it," with a glance at the hanyou, he added, "If it is all right with our oh-so-gracious leader."

"Fine," he said with a sigh that almost everyone bought. Almost. "We'll go back to the village and you can go back to your era. But only for a few days, and I am going with you. No arguments." He crossed his arms as a sign of the ending comments. Kagome smiled as she helped Sango up. Miroku walked along side Inu Yasha as they walked down the path in the direction of Keade's village.

"So, Kagome," Sango whispered, "What's with Inu Yasha? He seemed awful lenient on letting you go home." Kagome blushed a little at the question and observation. She turned her head on hopes that Sango wouldn't notice. She did, and she didn't let it pass. "Something happen that I don't know about?"

"I-um...no. Nothing happened." Her face denied her response. Sango smiled evilly and turned Kagome to face her.

"Something happened...Tell me what. I want to know, Kagome." Kagome bit her lip. Her first kiss with the man she loved was sacred to her. She wanted to remember it for the rest of her life, and she was going to share it with her 'sister'. She nodded and Sango, without any prior warning, giggled lightly like a little schoolgirl. (A/N: how ironic... ^_^)

"Well, I was walking this morning, thinking of what was gonna happen when the jewel is done. I found Inu Yasha sitting under a tree, lost in his own thoughts. I went up to him, and we started talking and before I knew it, he had kissed me." They walked in silence after that, each contemplating on what had happened to the younger of the two.

The forest ended and the village came into sight. The men led the way to Keade's hut on a hill on the outskirts of the village. The elderly miko was working in her herb garden as they walked to her, Kagome now in front with a wide grin plastered on her face.

"Keade-sama!" the woman stood as the girl hugged her. "How has it been here? Any rumors?"

"Alas, there has been no word. And how was ye travel?" The others greeted her and Inu Yasha spoke.

"A fuckin' waste of time. Nothing happened," he said, leaning against the hut. 'Nothing in regards to the shards, anyway.'

Kagome looked at him, hurt in her eyes. 'Nothing happened?' Her sadness turned to anger. 'That damn hanyou!' She mentally kicked herself. She had been hanging around Inu Yasha too long and now she was talking like him. Acting like nothing happened, she continued on after a split-second pause. "Yeah, it was a complete waste of time." Kagome shot daggers at Inu Yasha, who had looked at her with her last words.

Sango watched the exchange and suddenly was worried. 'Did I just imagine that whole talk with Kagome?'

"Well, Keade-sama, Sango, Miroku," she again glared at the hanyou, "Inu Yasha, I have to be going. Don't go anywhere while I'm gone!" she said playfully as she jogged in the direction of the well.
