Sweet sad jess: uh... well.... um... uh... in the past? Well Kagome being a grandma in the present time so I guess in the 1980's?? Is it important to know the yr? :/ cuz I just labeled it in the past and in the present and I to lazy to do the math. Kagome as a grandmother is about a hundred or in her late 90's but in the past time the she's in her late teens around seventeen or sixteen. Does that help?

Amy: Thaxs!! Glad u liked the fluff! ^_^



Just pretend to be a man!!

Chapter 11: home sweet home.

The past days weren't that fun, they were strangely quiet. Nobody wanted to bring up the subject of Kagome leaving and going home, even if she was coming back. That is if things went right. Kagome hadn't slept well since that night she and Inuyasha shared a kiss. Lately her sleep was restless, she'd either be up into late hours of the night thinking about all the things that could go wrong. What if she had to marry Hojo and they (the crew) didn't get her in time and she married him?!?!? What if the police kills all of the crew and Inuyasha? What if? That's all she could think about sometimes.

Or when she did sleep she'd have nightmares. They would haunt her. It was like her first nightmare she had before when she was forced to marry Hojo and they turned evil and such. She wasn't the only one of course.

Inuyasha had been having the same thoughts has she had, what if? Inuyasha and Kagome had Advoided each other for the past two days but today, she'd go home. Today she'd go get him a good reputation and then join the crew when he picked her up! Or they wouldn't pick her up and she'd be lost forever, and they never see each other again.

Sango and Miroku also since the tension in the air. It wasn't hard to notice how depressed the crew seemed sine Kagome and Inuyasha didn't fight anymore or seemed to believe. As the same for Inuyasha and Kagome, they also seemed sad, the whole ship seemed to be. It was almost likely to be called dead.

What fun is there when somebody has to leave and might not come back? Miroku for one wasn't groping Sango anymore and that made Sango sad that he didn't even talk to her has much. It's not like she was going home.

Today wasn't the best day for the once alive ship.

Inuyasha called Miroku and Kagome into the office to talk of what was to happen.

" Well uh.... evil witches, I mean Kagome, and perverts, we need to go over the plans one last time! We have but an hour before Kagome is dropped off." Inuyasha stated not so kindly.

"Hey!! I'm not a pervert!" Miroku yelled at Inuyasha and then Kagome and Inuyasha started coughing.

"Anyway, here's what we do!" With that Inuyasha started going over all the stupid stuff they had to do. Miroku and Kagome listened and nodded until it was about thirty minutes past the time they had gotten into Inuyasha's office. They started to nod off and well they were becoming very sleepy.

"Ok! Now do we have any questions?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome raised her left hand while she covered her mouth with her right hand trying to hold back a yawn. " uh.. Inuyasha? Can we like you know go now? I'm really sleepy."

Inuyasha sent her a death glare before smiling slightly. "Sure, but Miroku can leave I need to talk to you." Inuyasha ordered looking Kagome strait in the eye as Miroku left, closing the door behind him.

"What's the matter?" Kagome asked seeing Inuyasha's eyes started to cloud over.

"Remember to get out be tomorrow night, and now good luck! Go get me a good rep." Inuyasha said before picking Kagome up and walking onto the deck with her still in his arms.

Kagome starting to see what was going on looked at Inuyasha seeing him smile a tricky smile. "Don't you DARE!! Inu- " Before Kagome could Finnish he kissed her tenderly before tossing her into the sea.

They were only a few yards away from the docks of England so she should be able to swim back.

Inuyasha stared out onto the sea for who knows how long, thinking the same thoughts over and over again. 'When the hell did I start caring for her? Kagome you better come back to me!!'

Miroku looked at Inuyasha before leaning over to Sango. "Sango-sama?"

Sango looked at him a little sad she wouldn't see her best friend for a while. "What is it Miroku?"

"I love you!! Now us!!" He stated while opening his arms and making fish lips as if expecting her to kiss him. All he got was a slap on the face from a beat red Sango.

"She loves me?" Miroku last words stated before he fell onto the floor in a peaceful yet painful sleep.

~*~

When Inuyasha had thrown her off the ship she never looked back. Kagome just swam and kept swimming until reaching the docks. She knew why he had done that, they needed her to look like she had jumped off the ship and escaped.



When she got to the docks many of the men were staring at her like she was some crazed lady, until one boy shouted, "It's her!! It's Kagome!!!" That's when she ran, she ran from the mob of people chasing after her wanting to say that they had saved her and claim the money.

She was almostly there, just a little more!!! Luckly the man who answered the door just walked out!! If she speed up she could make it inside with out having to open the door. 'I'm going to make it!!' She thought right before.. *BAM!*

"owwww" The mob stopped and said ow for her when she ran head first into the door that was just slammed in her face, forcing her to fall backwards.

Kagome covered her face with her hands, "ow~" Was her only response before looking up to see her mother standing in the door way staring at her.

Kagome and her mother stared at each other like they'd just met, but that was soon broken when Kikyo and her father came to see who was at the door. They all froze and looked at Kagome with cold unmoving eyes.

Kagome wanting to break the slinece said the one thing she could think of, " Hey?"

With that one word her mother and father bent down and hugged her, making the crowd 'awww' at the sweet seen. Of course non of them could really tell it was just an act. "Kagome!! I missed you so much!!" Her mother pretend to cry onto Kagome's shoulder, as did her dad before they dragged her in the house and roughly pulled her into the living room.

Her mother glared at her with cold hard eyes, as did Kikyo. "Kagome!!! Where in the hell have you been!! Do you think that we just stand here and do nothing with out you here??!?! And what about Hojo!!!" Her mother yelled.



Next her dad took over. "Kagome, what have you done?" He calmly asked.



Kagome sunk into the coach, why did she come back? Oh yes because Inuyasha wanted some people to fear him, she'd kick his ass later. "Well uh.. I sort ran from home?"

" Hell yes!! You ran away from Hojo-chan!! He is to be your husband weather you like it or not!!!" Her father yelled and continued when Kagome started to say, what about watt I want. "I don't give a damn about what you want!! This family is perfect and will always be perfect as you are going to marry Hojo the next richest man besides us!! You will love him and that is final!!!"

Kagome tried hard, tears were forming behind her eyes already. Tomorrow Morning Inuyasha would pick her up though and they would run away, and she'd be dropped of in America.

Kagome stood up with a stone cold face before saying, "I'm going to my room." But when she got up her sister Kikyo came up and slapped her. "BITCH!! You're an ungrateful bitch!" She yelled and Kagome just turned her face showing Kikyo the untouched. Kikyo started to laugh then. " What you actually going to turn the other cheek? What a pity." Kikyo said before Kagome went to her old room.

~*~

When Kagome got to her room she saw not a thing had changed. Everything was still a light pink, the bed spreads, the curtains, the walls, and the carpet. She hated this room, she'd shed many tears in this room, it was a memory that her parents owned her. The books for young ladies at her age were still on the shelf, the dresser still had her hair, and other products neatly on it, not a speck of dust to be found. The closet door still slightly opened to reveal several dresses she use to wear, all pressed and hunged by wooden hangers, that were polished nearly everyday.

The lights where still dim, and the view out of the window still the same, just a city. She hated it here, not just this room or her family, this whole city and everything in it! It was all about trying to be perfect!! And she hated perfection! She wasn't perfect damn it!! And she was glad she wasn't anything like her family.

Kagome slowly sat down in front of the mirror. She stared at cold dull eyes, that belonged to her. She slowly reached up and touched her short hair, it had gotten longer. But still short, barley between her ears and chin. She just stared at her reflection, for who knows how long before there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Kagome told the person, and the maid slowly walked in, caring a white dress. Her name was Jessie and she had worked there for Kagome's mother foe what seemed like forever. She never really talked so Kagome didn't know much about her. (A/n oh god I put my self in the fic!!! I sorry!! I couldn't think of a name!! Lol oh well.)

"Miss Kagome, your mother request that you try on this dress, and see if it fits." Jessie stated.

Kagome stared at the dress noticing how delicate it looked. "What's the occasion?" Kagome asked when noticing the dress looked like a....

"For your and Hojo-sama's wedding. It is your wedding dress miss Kagome. You are to be married to Hojo, tomorrow at sunset." The maid stated and looked at Kagome with concern seeing the shocked look on her face. "Are you ok miss?"
