April smiled to her self. She couldn't remember the last time she was this
happy. Miroku slumped unconscious over next to a steaming Sango. Inuyasha
was imbedded into the ground as a scared Shippo hid behind a fuming Kagome.
Yes you could never find this entertainment on TV.
"So tomorrow we head west?" Sango asked, nestling next to Kirara.
"Yep. And hopefully the wrench will be able to sense some jewel shards so we don't go on a wild-goose chaise," Inuyasha said from up in his tree.
"Oi! Dog-boy shut-up, some of us are trying to sleep," April yelled from the tree she leaned against.
"What the hell did you just call me!"
"I know you heard me Dog-boy. Those ears on top of your head aren't for show or are they?" April teased.
"Why you..."
"Inuyasha I could do this all night but I'm not in the mood. Night!" she chirped as a deep slumber came over her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dream Sequence~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh not this again! Why can't I just forget!
Two people stood in front of her. One was she and although she had a hard time seeing the other person she knew it was Chrono. They were whispering but April didn't want to listen it was too painful. However, she knew the words off by heart now.
'April I'm sorry.'
'No. How could you!'
'I said I was sorry Okay! I was drunk I didn't know what I was doing.'
'You slept with her. Now she's pregnant with your child. Dammit!'
'April I'm sorry. Please forgive me I'll do anything. I LOVE YOU!'
April remembered the hurt in his eyes. Those eyes were her undoing. She had believed him and gave in just to be hurt again.
~~~~~~~~~~~End of Dream Sequence~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"April, come on get up. It's okay it was only a nightmare that's it," Kagome coaxed as she shook April's shoulders.
"Are you okay April-Sama?" Shippo asked. Everyone was huddled around her, worried. "You were screaming. We were really scared"
"I'm sorry to worry you." April apologized. "We should all go back to bed, we have a long day ahead."
"Are you sure you're okay April-Chan?" Miroku asked. April nodded and everyone headed back to bed.
She had waited until their breathing calmed and their hearts slowed before she got up. She hadn't seen Aikido for a couple days but sensed him near by. She slid out of the room silently and wandered through the forest. A large clearing came into view and April saw a large dark figure lying amongst the tall grass.
"Aikido?" She walked up to him. He started to growl. April knew something was wrong, for he only growled when he thought he or someone else was in trouble. The scent of blood hit her hard and she dashed over to him quickly. He had arrows imbedded into his hide everywhere.
"Oh Kuso, you're hurt!" April knelt next to him grabbing the nearest arrow. "Let me help."
"Save your pity. I don't need it." Aikido said solemnly.
"Shut-up. Man you are as stubborn as a damn mule! " She tugged at the arrows out of his body and covering it with torn cloth from her clothing. "Who did this to you?"
"It was a Miko, S...Sh...She..." Aikido didn't finish as he fell unconscious.
Inuyasha had found April and Aikido out in the clearing just after sunset. He had helped her carry him back to camp and April dashed off to change her clothing.
"What happened to him," Sango asked as she helped April clean his wounds.
"I'm not sure. He mentioned a Miko but then he passed out." April explained.
"You don't think it was Kikyo?" Miroku asked. Kagome's head poked out from the other side of Aikido's large body.
"It probable was." She plainly said. The anger and pain was evident in her voice.
"Whoa. Who is this Kikyo person?" April asked confused.
"Well..." Miroku turned about looking to see if Inuyasha was near and proceeded to talk about Kikyo's story. As he finished April understood and nodded.
"I see. Well if it was that bitch I'll kill her. Even though she's dead and all, I'll make sure she stays in hell this time around. No body hurts Aikido without pissing me off." April stood up her fists held so tightly it drew blood.
"Oi! Who are you going to make sure stays in hell." Inuyasha asked from behind.
"None of your beeping business!" She yelled.
"Beeping?" He asked.
"I'm going to visit my parents in 2 weeks and they hate it when I swear." She answered in her 'matter-of-fact' voice.
"And when the hell were you going to tell us this! " Inuyasha bellowed at her.
"Oh Inuyasha I didn't know you cared," An evil smile flicked across her face. She knew exactly how to make him drop the subject. "If I knew you cared that much about my well being I would of got us two tickets and a room for two." He eyed her mysteriously, than it hit him his eyes got wide and he turned away.
"Fucking bitch turns everyone's words around!" He mumbled.
Aikido healed in three days time and they traveled for another eleven straight after that. They had gathered two shards and were heading back to Kaede's due to that fact that April was going 'Home' that night or sometime the next morning.
"You know Kagome you can come if you want, and dog-boy too I guess." April said as they walked along a dirt path.
"I don't know..." Kagome said thinking about it.
"Ah come on you need a break, plus it'll be fun!" April said jumping around. The excitement was so hard to conceal. She hadn't seen her mother for a year and hadn't talked to her for about 8 months.
"Alright. I guess it would be fun. We just need to talk to Inuyasha into going."
"No worries. I have it all planned out." An evil grin flashed across her face.
April went to Sango, Miroku and Shippo later that afternoon to explain what was going to happen. They smiled and agreed that Kagome could use a long break. April reassured them that they would be back in 7 days and no more.
That night they all had ramen at Kaede's but April had made Inuyasha 'special' ramen that she made herself.
"Oi this ain't bad. Its taste is really spicy almost like a herb taste." Inuyasha said as he gobbled down as much ramen as he could.
"You have no iea," April mumbled quietly and with that Inuyasha passed out.
"What you do to him?" Kagome asked.
"Oh nothing much." April said. "Well Milord is awaiting our arrival so we must go." April motioned in the direction of the well. Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara followed Kagome, Aikido, April and an unconscious Inuyasha. They said their goodbyes and hopped through the well.
They had gotten picked up in front of the Shrine by a limousine and were dropped off at the airport. There was a private jet awaiting them and a note from Shippo apologizing that he could not come this time around for he had important business to attend to.
April was too excited to contain. One more hour and she would be home. A moan from the chair behind her aroused her from her train of thought. She turned around quickly to find Inuyasha waking up slowly. 'He is not going to be in a very good mood.' She thought.
"What the hell." He shot up out of the chair only to find out that he was strapped to it tightly whamming back into the chair. "Ohhh." He moaned in pain as he brought his hand to his forehead and than up to his ears.
"Inuyasha are you okay?" Kagome got up out her seat to walk over to him.
"Head pounds, Ears hurt." He moaned.
"Yeah can't blame yeah. Only after you passed out did I find out I used sleeping herbs instead of spices in your ramen and well being this high up in the air is going to absolutely kill your ears." April said sarcastically." Oh well! "
"What the hell do you mean 'oh well' and where are we?" Inuyasha yelled.
"I didn't do anything, and I mean nothing by oh well. We are currently 3000 feet in the air. But the question is not where are we but where we are going." April turned around in her seat and sat back.
"Well are you going to tell me exactly where we are going?" He asked not at all pleased by her answer.
"Canada."
"What?"
"Canada. It is directly across the ocean from Japan, like I told you I am going to visit my family." She stated not even moving from her spot.
"And you thought that I would want to go see your pathetic family." He folded his arms. April had had it. She turned around and grabbed him by the scruff of his red haori.
"Call my family pathetic again and I'll rip out that damned tongue of yours!" She let him go and sat back down. "Now go to sleep we'll be there in a hour."
The three of them had awoken to the captain talking over the speakers announcing that they would land in twenty minutes. April got out of her seat and reached into a cabinet to pull out a bag of clothing.
"Inuyasha you're going to have to change into different clothes so here. These should fit." She tossed him the bag. "Kagome, by the looks of it you're goin' to have ta help 'em." By the way April slurred her words Kagome knew she was nervous and extremely tired.
Kagome told him how to put everything on and shoved him into the small bathroom. When he emerged both girls dropped. He wore a red T-shirt with a long sleeved white shirt underneath and to add to it he wore a pair of dark cargo pants, finally a pair of red Vans/Skateboarding shoes.
"I don't like this it's uncomfortable." He whined as he tugged at the shirt and pants
"But you look so handsome!" Kagome exclaimed, blushing once she realized what she said.
Inuyasha turned his head to the side to hide his own blush. "Feh."
April raised her head what have I gotten myself into? "Okay you two lovebirds sit down and put on your belts. We're going to land soon." To April's surprise Inuyasha didn't seem affected by the comment, she could have sworn she saw him smile. He simple took his seat and buckled his belt like he was shown earlier.
Disappointed April turned back to the front of the aircraft, feeling it hit the ground and come to a halt. Inuyasha's hands were griping the arms of his chair so tightly that he was putting indents on the underside. Kagome saw him tense up and squeeze the arms of the chair as if he was hanging on for dear life. Than it hit her he never was on a plane before. She reached over and patted his hand.
"It's okay Inuyasha. Trust me." She soothed. His muscles relaxed and leaned back into the chair.
The plane came to a halt and a flight attendant came over and opened a door. She assisted them with their baggage and thanked them for choosing Airline flight.
By now April was so nervous her hands were sweating and therefore giving her a hard time holding her bags. Inuyasha was too excited to finally get off the aircraft and scrunched his nose up at the horrid smell of fumes. April took them into a huge building all of the signs were in a language that Inuyasha could not understand and the people talked different. He poked April in the shoulder and pointed to a sign.
"What does that say?" He questioned.
"It says welcome to Calgary, Alberta. Enjoy your stay." April said.
"You can read that?"
"Yes Inuyasha. I CAN READ THAT. I was raised to speak English you know."
"Feh."
"Whatever." April turned to face a group of people who held signs that said 'Lee Spando'. She giggled they obviously did not know how stupid they looked. Then next to that group was another group but April recognized all of them but just barely. April dropped her bags and ran to a woman who had opened her arms welcoming her, gracefully.
"Mama!" She yelled. She jumped into the woman's arms. Her tears were falling down her checks freely. "I've missed you so much!"
"Oh, my baby girl." She pulled her away from her body to examine her. Inuyasha didn't know what was going on. He guessed that they were talking in this English April had mentioned earlier. He bent over and picked up April's fallen bags and walked over to her with Kagome.
"Hello." Kagome said in remarkable English. April swung around.
"I never knew you spoke English." April emphasized.
"I learnt before I meant Inuyasha." She said.
April went back to the crowd of people. "Everyone this is Kagome and Inuyasha. Inuyasha, Kagome this is well everyone."
"It's been way too long April." Said a voice in the crowd obviously owned by a woman.
"Amy! Oh wow I never thought you be here!" April jumped up and down. She ran over to the girl and hugged her tightly. She turned around when she heard a low growl. There next to everyone in the smallest cage you ever did see was Aikido.
"Oops." She shrugged and went over to her friend. "Sorry?"
Finally this chapter is complete. I was on a major writing block when I wrote this. Well anyways. *Mumbling comes from behind* Shut-up you two. After what you did to my hair I am never letting you out of that barrel well maybe after I have taken over the WORLD! Just kidding! Well Chapter 5 should be up soon. I guess, but if not too soon I am sorry well not really but I am on holidays. Well BYE!!
"So tomorrow we head west?" Sango asked, nestling next to Kirara.
"Yep. And hopefully the wrench will be able to sense some jewel shards so we don't go on a wild-goose chaise," Inuyasha said from up in his tree.
"Oi! Dog-boy shut-up, some of us are trying to sleep," April yelled from the tree she leaned against.
"What the hell did you just call me!"
"I know you heard me Dog-boy. Those ears on top of your head aren't for show or are they?" April teased.

"April, come on get up. It's okay it was only a nightmare that's it," Kagome coaxed as she shook April's shoulders.
"Are you okay April-Sama?" Shippo asked. Everyone was huddled around her, worried. "You were screaming. We were really scared"
