"You healed faster than expected." The doctor said surprised. "Especially how much poison we pumped out of you. Didn't think you'd make it."

"Weren't you listening to anything I said? I already told you, he is half demon!" Souta yelled, ticked because the doctor never listened to him.

"Yeah... can I just get my sword back?" Inu Yasha said ignoring the young boy. "Now would be a good time."

"Certainly." The surgeon said handing the half demon his rusted stick.

"Thanks. C'mon guys, lets go."

"Inu Yasha! What the hurry?" Kagome asked racing to catch up with the stormed hanyou. "Inu Yasha!" she said again grabbing his shoulder, spinning him to look her in the eye.

"I have to get him. Don't try to stop me Kagome."

"Your still to weak. Please, don't go after Sesshomaru now."

"You could have been killed!" He screamed grabbing her by the shoulders. "Don't you get it? You might be hurt again if I don't stop him."

"Don't you mean you might get hurt again?"

"I don't need this." Inu Yasha mumbled walking off towards the family shrine.

"Stop! I'm warning you... Inu Yasha...one...two...when I get to three I'm gonna say it! Three! SIT BOY!"

WHOOMPF!

"Bitch! Why th- AAAAAHHHHH!" he cried in pain trying to get up from the ground.

"I told you already, you are still to weak to do pretty much anything. Stay with us for a couple of weeks, and then you'll be ready to fight." Kagome relaxed approaching the half demon helping him to his feet. "If you don't I'll have to say that word again."

"Fine, but once I'm strong enough..."

"Once you are healed not strong enough, healed. I promise." She assured leading him to her house.

"Inu Yasha, you will sleep here." Mrs. Higurashi said patting the designated couch. "After you take a bath. You smell like old people."

"I resent that!" Grandpa called from the other room. "Really, I do!"

"I refuse to take a bath."

"I'll put bubbles in it..." She said tickling him under his stubborn chin.

"Fine." Inu Yasha mumbled reluctantly following Kagome's mother up the stairs into the bathroom. "I can't believe I'm doing this." He thought to himself watching the water rise and the tub fill with bubbles.

"Well, I'll leave you to it." Mrs. Higurashi said leaving the room.

"It...it smells faintly of...Kagome!" Inu Yasha said to himself smelling the tub water. "Ooh, it feels so good..." He shivered dipping his body into the aroma. "I don't know why I never did this sooner."

"It's time for a bath, not play time." Kagome interrupted, walking in with baggy, red and white, vertically striped pajamas.

"Kagome!" Inu Yasha squeaked hiding his manhood under the suds. "Get out! Get out! Get out!"

"Oh hush!" Kagome replied blankly preparing the shampoo. "You saw me naked plenty of times. Hold still." She continued washing his hair. "See, this isn't so bad, is it?"

"No, but why do you have to wash my hair?" He asked holding his manhood out of sight from her.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll just go back into he feudal era. I'm sure Kouga wouldn't mind."

"Feh. How come everything is about Kouga now?"

"It's not." She sighed pouring a bucket of water on his head rinsing the soap from his silver locks.

"Hey! Where are you going?" The hanyou called curiously after her. "Hey!"
