Disclaimer: *sings* I'll own Inuyasha when pigs sing songs about chickens dancing with horses.
Silver and ColdI came here by day, but I left here in darkness. / And found you, found you on the way. / Now it's silver and silent. / It is silent and cold / you in somber resplendence/ I hold. / You're sins into my, oh my beautiful one. / As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer and I'll beg for forgiveness…

Chapter 3
Angel Standing By
Kagome ran toward the exit of the small hut as fast as her feet could allow her, leaving the mesmerized hanyou in the dust. He finally realized what she was doing so he smiled and dashed out of the house.
Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kaede calmly sit and watch as the two ran out of the hut.
"I wonder if it was a playful or angry run." Miroku stated with a calm tone that seemed to echo through the hut.
"They didn't look angry." Sango stated in a melancholy voice. Shippo giggled to himself.
'It's about time those two fell in love. Keehee! …Maybe they'll stop fighting! It'd be puppy love!' "Tee kee hee!" He accidentally laughed at his own little joke. Sango and Miroku turn to look at him. Kaede laughs with him.
"It seems they realize now how much they need each other!" Kaede muddles.
"What were you laughing at Shippo?" Sango questions. He smiles then hops off her lap.
"Let's go play Kirara!"
"Meow!"

Quicker than she expected, Inuyasha had caught up with Kagome. He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her to the ground causing them to roll down a hill, until they came to…The Bone Eating Well. Once they stopped rolling, the two of them ended up in a strange position. Inuyasha was above Kagome and they were both still laughing from the tumble. Inuyasha suddenly stopped laughing and a deep shade of red came to his face, he collapsed, with his eyes unbelievably wide.
"What is it? Inuyasha! What's wrong Inuyasha?" She asked while sitting up to have a better look at him. He doesn't move, or say anything. Kagome leans down and…pushes him over. He speedily gets up and glares at her.
"What was that for?!" He growls. She smiles.
"I need to go back to my time for a while, stay here please. I won't be long." She starts to walk toward the Bone Eating Well. Inuyasha jumps in front of her and gives her a questioning look.
"Why are you leaving?" He asks. She gives him a quick hug then sits on the well's lip.
"I need to tell my family about" She points to her ears and fangs. "This." Inuyasha looks down but nods understandingly. She smiles toward him lovingly.
"Arigato!" She shouts as she jumps down into the well. He looks down into the well then turns away.
Inuyasha shuffles his feet slowly back to the hut. He steps inside to find that everyone was asleep already. So he takes his place in the corner and falls asleep thinking of everything that had happened in that day.

"Hello ma ma!" Kagome smiles, then turns to look for Souta or her grand father. "Uhh…Souta, Gi-chan! Can you come here for a minute?" Kagome sits on the couch and waits for her family members to arrive. Kagome had thrown on a small hat to cover her puppy ears. Moments later, her mom and Souta walk in the room.
"Gi-chan is out tonight, he won't be back for a while." Her mother stated while sitting down on the couch. Souta jumped into the recliner nearby. Kagome is suddenly put under a lot of lights. She doesn't know where to start, what to say…how do you put something like that?
"Well, I…uh, have something to tell you." She takes off the hat, revealing her tiny dog-ears. Her mom and Souta almost seem to race toward her.
****Ten minutes later****
"So they're really real?!" Her mom shouts for about the fiftieth time as she pulls on her tiny black ears. Kagome sighs.
"Yes, mom!" Souta starts to laugh.
"Kagome is a puppy girl! Kagome is a puppy girl!" Kagome looks to the floor to hide her slight blush.
"Mom, Souta…I thought I'd tell you how all of this happened." They both take their seats instantly becoming silent. 'Well, at least I got their attention. Now I see why Inuyasha doesn't like to be around my mom.' "Well, it all started this morning. We were fighting Naraku for the last piece of the Shikon shard…woke up hanyou…jewel was gone…Inuyasha wished for…and…and then…then I came back to let you guys know what happened." She finishes. They both are in awe then go back to playing with her ears.
****Quite some time later****
"Mom, Souta. I'm tired, I need to get some rest." She heads toward her room. She hears them gasp, so she turns around to see what is was. "What is it?"
"You've got a tail too!"
She runs into her room and locks the door. She plops down onto her bed and sighs. "I love this room! It's the best!" She rolls over and hugs her pillow. In only minutes, she was fast asleep.

The next morning, Inuyasha awoke to the smell of cooking food. He walks toward the food, and then stops abruptly after seeing the looks on everyone's face. He jerks back and holds his hands up, preparing for a million questions or actions. Shippo walks up to him and puts his hands on his hips.
"Where's Kagome?" He growls. Inuyasha picks up the tiny kitsune by his tail and looks him in the eyes.
"She went back to her time for a while. What's it to you?" He questions. Shippo crosses his arms and turns away.
"What do you do to her this time?" He growls.
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" He drops the kitsune and sits down on the blanket Kagome left for them to eat on. Miroku sits down beside him.
"So…did anything interesting happen last night?" He chuckles. Inuyasha looks up angrily and makes a fist.
"I'm not like you…you perverted monk!" He shouts. Miroku falls silent once again. In minutes, Sango brings out the food sitting a plate in front of each of them. She looks at Inuyasha and can tell that he's in a bad mood, so she keeps her mouth shut.
"Sugoi Sango! This food's really good!" Shippo says. Miroku nods while pulling the chopsticks away from his lips.
"You should cook more often!" He states with his mouth full of food. Sango starts to blush so she puts her hand up to her face and smiles.
"I don't cook that good." She declared bashfully. Inuyasha looks up and snorts.
"Got that right." He walks off on his own. Sango looks toward the others, they both shrug then go back to eating the delicious meal.
Inuyasha sits up in the Sacred tree. He looks down at Sango and the others. They were all happy, and Miroku was trying to prove to Sango that Inuyasha was just in a bad mood. Inuyasha growls to himself.
"Why does Kagome always have to act like that? She didn't even say anything after I told her...after I told her that I wanted to be with her forever. That's why I'm in a bad mood. That baka! She could have at least said something! Anything would have been better than this silence." He turns around on the branch so that he cannot see the others. Today wasn't going to be a good day. Especially since Kagome was-
"Hey Inuyasha! I'm back!" Kagome shouts while climbing out of the well with her backpack overflowing. Inuyasha just looked down and snorted.
"Keh!" He looks toward the sky, so he didn't have to look at anyone. But, Kagome's happy and chipper voice continued to echo through the woods.
"Sugoi! This food looks amazing Sango! How have you guys been!" She pauses long enough to eat.
"Hey Kagome!" Shippo smiles and jumps onto her lap. He hugs her happily. "I was so afraid that you were dead and I would never see you again! I missed you!" He whines. Kagome hugged him back with a warm smile on her face.
"I missed you too, Shippo!"
Inuyasha finally looks back over and watches the group. Although he was angry, he couldn't help but watch them. They were his only friends after all. At that thought, he jumped down out of the tree and huffily walked toward the red and white blanket. He plopped down on the blanket then crossed his legs and arms in his typical stance.
