Kagome and Sango do Tokyo.....
The feeling of missing home and needing a break was weighing strongly on Kagome, it had been over two weeks since the last time she'd returned home and it was beginning to tell on her physique, not to mention the thought of facing her mother on the grounds that she hadn't returned her work for school, and she hadn't even finished it yet.
Sighing and grabbing her book bag she walks off to find a suitable place to begin her studies. She spots a large tree in the center of a huge clearing, nodding her head and deciding it was the perfect place she settles down beneath the tree and takes out her math book, this was the only work that she had left to finish, though it was only one subject she had over three days of work, the equivalent of about 180 problems.
Sighing again as she opened her book to the required page and resting her hand on the paper that was on top of a notebook, she poised her pencil and read off the first equation.
About two hours later Kagome closed the book in front of her and smiled at the writing and small stack of paper in front of her, it still felt good to have all that work completed, one last thing on her mind.
'Now the only thing left to do is convince Inuyasha to let me go home with out a fight.' Sighing, she stood up and after gathering her things and placing them back into the huge back pack, 'Yeah right like that'll ever happen.' Kagome stood there in that one spot for a few minutes just enjoying the view; it was quite beautiful in the feudal era, no cars, or trucks, no cities, no pollution, just open country side littered with the traditional Japanese plants and trees that we're so scarce in her Tokyo.
On the walk back to the camp Kagome got a great idea, 'I wonder if Sango would want to come back to my time with me? It would be great to have some time away from fighting demons and dealing with the way of life in this era while having some girlie time.' She smiled at the thought and hastened her steps.
When she returned to the camp site she found her friends all the same, Asami was cooing over Uuri and Sumie was helping Hikaru with something while Sango was trying to keep away from the monks roaming hands, Inuyasha probably in a tree somewhere. Walking straight up to Sango and taking her hand to pull her aside, she dumped her back pack as she watched the questioning look her friend gave her, "What is it Kagome?"
Looking up at the girl and smiling excitedly "What would you think about coming back to my time with me for a few days of girlie time Sango?" She asked her, Sango was a little slow to respond thinking the idea over "What about the others, will they be alright?" "Yes, I think so, I mean Inuyasha, Miroku and Hikaru will be here, and Asami and Sumie can pretty well take care of themselves, pluuuuss," drawing out the word she smiled, "Kouga will know the second I return to my time and he won't be far off either."
Sango thought about what Kagome said and with that she grabbed her hands and grinned "Sounds like a great idea Kagome, when do we leave?" "As soon as I tell Inuyasha, and we get back to Kaede's village." Kagome answered her, "Ok, I'll be ready." Sango told her allowing her friend to pass her, knowing she was in search of the hanyou.
"Inuyasha" came a voice crashing through his sleep, causing him to jump startled and fall face first into the ground at the feet of the person who had disturbed him. "Sheesh Kagome why do have to do that?" Inuyasha said standing up and rubbing his head, "I'm sorry Inuyasha, are you alright?" "Feh, I'm fine don't act like it could have killed me or something."
'Oh great he's already grumpy, oh well might as well get this over with.' Kagome thought to herself trying to find her courage that had just run out the back door. "Inuyasha?" she questioned cautiously, "What." "I was wondering if I could, well if you'd let me go back to my time for a few days? I have to return my school work to my mom and a few days with my family would be great, I haven't seen them very much in the last three months." Kagome asked in a quiet shy voice hoping that he wouldn't get mad since she'd 'asked' for his permission, not that she felt like she needed to, but she did not want to leave fighting they'd been getting along so well the last few weeks and she wasn't ready for it to end.
To Kagome's shock his response was anything but what she had expected, even though she had hoped the half demon would be okay with her asking him, she still expected his usual outburst but it never came,
"Yeah I guess so." Was all he said, she watched him cautiously for a few minutes to make sure that she had heard him right, when he finally got fed up with he staring, he said in a more Inuyasha tone "Why are you staring at me? Am I growing a horn or something?" "No, no, I just, never mind. I was thinking of taking Sango with me as well, so you think that would be ok too?" Inuyasha only shrugged, and with that she sprang forward and landed against his chest giving him a big hug, "Thank you Inuyasha, thank you so much."
Inuyasha was almost thrown back when she leapt at him; he looked at her confused for a minute 'Huh? What's her problem?' he thought to himself, but then quickly returned her hug, after a few minutes of just standing there hugging Inuyasha whispered "Your welcome Kagome."
She hadn't known why their hug had lasted as long as it had, why he hadn't let her go right away like he usually did after she surprised him with one of her sneak attacks on affection towards him, nope he just stood there and embraced her, like the last time, when she chanced the time to move her head back enough to look up at him her breath caught.
'He's looking at me like that again, with that strange look.' even though they had shared a kiss before when he had talked about his past and Uuri they both had acted as if it never happened. Here he was looking at her again, like he was going to kiss her. A snort was heard as an animal was approaching them, Inuyasha broke away from Kagome but not as fast has he usually did when someone walked up and caught them in an uneasy predicament. She turned to see Uuri coming into the clearing; even for a horse he seemed to have this knowing look on his face.
Kagome watched Inuyasha walk up to the animal and give it a little friendly scratch on his for head. He seemed to have an almost telepathic relationship with the horse, she wondered if that was the reason that he hadn't jumped away from her like he usually did. Blushing again with the renewed thoughts of his arms around her, and the feel of her body against his for that time, she looked away and quietly said "Well I'm going back to camp, I'll get everyone ready to leave." Quickly putting distance between her and the ever confusing, defense shattering hanyou that she loved.
The group of friends at the camp site looked wide eyed at Kagome who came crashing out of the forest with a huge smile on her face, not to mention a light pink tinge on her cheeks. She told everyone of their departure and that Sango would be coming with her to her time. "Why can't I come with you Kagome?" Shippou whined, "Well Shippou, I need some one strong and brave to help take care of everyone, so I need you to stay here." Shippou puffed up with pride that Kagome would think of him in this way and smiled "Okay Kagome, you can count on me."
As they began to walk towards Kaede's village Sango pulled on Kagome's sleeve making her drop back from the group, "What were you in such a good mood about when you came back from speaking with Inuyasha?" Kagome blushed again and replied "Oh nothing, just happy that Inuyasha didn't argue with me about going back." Sango looked at her suspiciously knowing full well there was more to the story then she was telling her, deciding that there were too many prying 'ears' around she'd ask her later.
"If we have to go back, then we're at least getting there at a better pace then this." Inuyasha said walking to where Kagome was walking with Sango, he stopped in front of Kagome and watched Sango go to Kirara and motion for Miroku and Hikaru to join her on the big cat, Uuri walked up to the girls and snorted, Asami helped Sumie up on the horses back and then settled in front of her while Shippou was in her lap. Bending down to allow Kagome to climb on his back, Inuyasha looked back at her to see if she was ready, she smiled at him and he couldn't help but return the smile with one of his own, then realizing his actions he jerked his head forward.
Inuyasha took off in the direction of the village that was like their home now, followed by Kirara and a transformed Uuri. They made record time as they all tried to keep up with Inuyasha's speed, though it seemed he was trying to run from something. Little did they know he wasn't getting very far from what he was running from, seeing that 'it' was holding on for dear life, practically strapped to his back.
Kagome walked into Kaede's hut beaming, with Shippou in her arms, Kaede looked at her questioningly, "Why are ye so happy child?" "Oh no reason Kaede, just a beautiful day, that's all." Kagome replied, but Kaede hadn't missed the slight giggle in her voice or the light pink color that had seemed to be permanently part of her face now. Kagome set Shippou down and walked to the back of the hut to retrieve a few more of her things that she needed to take back to her time with her.
Sango and Miroku were the last to arrive as they were talking about Sango's visit to Kagome's time, "I'm kind of excited, actually." Sango replied to Miroku's questioning. "I'm not sure it is wise to go to her time with no one to protect you." Miroku said worriedly, "Kagome goes all the time with no one to protect her, she doesn't have the dangers that are here. There's nothing to worry about Miroku." Sango said as she slid off Kirara and walked towards the hut to get ready for her departure. 'It's not the demons and monsters I'm worried about.' Miroku thought to himself as he too slid off Kirara and headed for the hut.
After collecting their things and saying their goodbyes the girls walked towards the Bone Gobbling well, chatting about what they would do in Kagome's time. "We can go shopping, and watch T.V and take hot showers, and then I can tell you my plans for," she stopped, looking around "You know who." She finished unsure of what ears may be lurking around listening in. Sango grinned as they came to the well, Kagome and Sango took each others hand and jumped over the side.
Sango was amazed at the feeling and the look of the transporting well, before she knew it they had arrived on the other side. Kagome turned and began to climb a wooden ladder that was left for her, and Sango hesitantly followed her, still not sure what she'd find on the outside in Kagome's time. Kagome helped Sango out of the well and opened the door to the well house, when they stepping into the yard they had to shield their eyes from the brightness of the sun, when they were adjusted Kagome showed Sango the sacred tree.
"Wow, Sango said, "you actually live where Inuyasha's forest once was?" Marveling at the idea of it all, Kagome grinned at her friends' naivety and said "You haven't seen anything yet." Taking her friend by the hand and dragging her off into the house. Kagome called out to her mother twice with no response, then finding a not on the kitchen counter.
Kagome we have gone to visit your cousins, we will be gone for a week, and if you come home I have left money and a credit card for you if you need anything. There is also some left over oden in the fridge, Please be careful home alone. We love and miss you, Mom, Grandpa, and Souta.
"Guess we have the house to ourselves for the weekend." Kagome said to Sango as she began a tour of the house, showing her all the stuff of her time and smiling when Sango looked as though she was kid in a candy store. After about thirty minutes of touring and questions she told Sango that she was going to take a shower, taking her first to the bathroom and showing her how to use the shower, then dropping her at her room as she scooped up her stack of clothes that she had picked out to wear and disappeared into the bathroom.
Sango found herself examining everything in Kagome's room as if it were a museum, about fifteen minutes later Kagome returned to the room dressed in a light pink sundress with little accent flowers on the bottom of it, her hair still wrapped up in a towel, noticing Sango investigating something on her desk she replied "That's a radio, it plays music." Seeing her friend marvel at the metallic object she said "Here I'll show you." Switching on the 'on' button and watching her friends face light up when music spilled from the speakers, "Wow." Was all Sango could muster at the moment, then after a few more moments of observation she turned to her said "Your time is fascinating Kagome." Shrugging Kagome only gave a half hearted "I guess so."
After Sango finished her shower and had returned to Kagome's room in a knee- length denim skirt with a light pink tight fitting top Kagome had picked out for her to wear, she commented that the shower was the best invention ever made. Kagome giggled and agreed handing her a pair of simple but cute pink sandals to wear, Sango blushed slightly when Kagome whistled at her and told her that the outfit complimented her well. She then opened her closet and found a pair of dainty slightly plat formed sandals and strapped them to her feet, satisfied with their outfits Kagome then drug Sango into the bathroom to apply the finishing touches.
Twenty minutes past, but when the girls stepped back from the mirror to examine themselves they smiled, Kagome nodded while Sango stared. Kagome had put Sango's long locks into a bear claw clip and let it fan out and down with some wisps of loose strands that rested beside her ears, along with the slightest hint of light pink eye shadow and lip gloss, Kagome had done her hair similar with the same eye shadow and lip gloss. Satisfied with their appearance Kagome grabbed Sango by the hand again and said "Come on girl, let's go shopping!!"
Kagome and Sango stepped off the bus and out in front of the mall. Sango still had a look a amazement on her face as they crossed the double doors and went inside, Kagome made a mental note to think up something to explain her "newness" incase someone was to see them. Kagome took Sango to one of her favorite shops and began to walk around browsing at this and that, when something caught Kagome's eye, she yelped in excitement and ran for the object. "Ohhh how KAWAII!!!" she said as she picked up the object and went to the other side of the store where the cashier was. Sango walked up behind her trying to see this thing that had caused such a reaction in her friend, when she peeked over her should she saw a 'stuffed animal' as Kagome called it, it was a small white dog that was in a sitting position with big yellow puppy dog eyes, about the size of Kirara in her small form. Sango looked at Kagome with an almost evil smile on her face and questioning look in her eyes.
"What?" Kagome asked trying to seem innocent, "It's cute!" averting her friends' stare knowing she could see right through her, "isn't it?" Sango only laughed and nodded, Kagome blushed under her watchful gaze for what felt like forever, when Sango spoke again "It's ok Kagome, your secret is safe with me, I won't tell anyone." She said to her with a huge smile as she tweaked one of the little dog's ears, that resembled another pair of dog ears that they'd all come to love. The girls left the shop and returned to shopping, after a few hours Kagome and Sango decided they were hungry, as she started to steer Sango towards the food court she heard a familiar voice call out to her "Hey Kagome, how are you?"
Groaning she turned to face Hojo who was approaching with another male at his side, "Feeling better I see." Hojo said to her as he stood there with his normal goofy starry eyed look. Faking a smile she waved at him and said "Hi Hojo, yes I am feeling better." "Who's this?" he asked her looking towards Sango, "Oh yeah, this is my cousin Sango, she's visiting from America." 'Well that was good enough reason to explain her awe of everything here she's not from this country.' Kagome told him then smiling at her triumphant thoughts, "Well it's nice to meet you Sango, I'm Hojo a friend of Kagome's from her school, and this is my cousin also, his name's Toru." He said still smiling at Kagome, Sango noticed this and made a mental note to ask about this boy later, she also hadn't missed the fact that this boy Toru was smiling at her with stars in his eyes, blushing she looked away and back to Kagome.
"Well I am sorry boys that we have to cut this little visit short, but Sango and I have to be going, we are supposed to be watching over the shrine while my family is away for the week, we must be getting back. It was nice seeing you Hojo and nice meeting you Toru." Her words came out in a rush as she pushed Sango towards the exit, waving Hojo off. When they were safely outside Kagome let out the breath that she hadn't known she'd been holding with a loud SWOOSH
"Jeeez, I can't go anywhere with out that guy coming out of no where!" she stated as they climbed on the bus that had just pulled up. They were silent on the their trip back to Kagome's house until they got inside, Kagome immediately noticed something was different but hadn't noticed anything out of place so she shrugged it off. Then she walked into the kitchen noticing something she said "That's weird, I thought I left the note from my mom on the kitchen counter." Looking at the piece of paper that was lying on the dining room table, "I think I'm losing it." She mumbled to herself then turned to Sango "Come on let's go lay out in the sun."
A few things to ponder.....
What is up with Inuyasha lately? The hugs the looks......I think Kagome thinks she's going crazy! Then there's Miroku, what do you think it is that he's really afraid of in Kagome's time? Think it could be all those boys Kagome talks about all the time......hmmm.....
Ok, I think that's enough for tonight, 4:15 in the morning and I'm tired of typing. I'll put the rest of this chapter in the next chapter, well I think this chapter was kind of boring, but it was needed to establish a few things. Review please.......thanks so much horsie slobbers and hugs LaterZ:OP

Kagome and Sango do Tokyo.....
The feeling of missing home and needing a break was weighing strongly on Kagome, it had been over two weeks since the last time she'd returned home and it was beginning to tell on her physique, not to mention the thought of facing her mother on the grounds that she hadn't returned her work for school, and she hadn't even finished it yet.
Sighing and grabbing her book bag she walks off to find a suitable place to begin her studies. She spots a large tree in the center of a huge clearing, nodding her head and deciding it was the perfect place she settles down beneath the tree and takes out her math book, this was the only work that she had left to finish, though it was only one subject she had over three days of work, the equivalent of about 180 problems.
Sighing again as she opened her book to the required page and resting her hand on the paper that was on top of a notebook, she poised her pencil and read off the first equation.
About two hours later Kagome closed the book in front of her and smiled at the writing and small stack of paper in front of her, it still felt good to have all that work completed, one last thing on her mind.

Sango walked up behind her trying to see this thing that had caused such a reaction in her friend, when she peeked over her should she saw a 'stuffed animal' as Kagome called it, it was a small white dog that was in a sitting position with big yellow puppy dog eyes, about the size of Kirara in her small form. Sango looked at Kagome with an almost evil smile on her face and questioning look in her eyes.
"What?" Kagome asked trying to seem innocent, "It's cute!" averting her friends' stare knowing she could see right through her, "isn't it?" Sango only laughed and nodded, Kagome blushed under her watchful gaze for what felt like forever, when Sango spoke again "It's ok Kagome, your secret is safe with me, I won't tell anyone." She said to her with a huge smile as she tweaked one of the little dog's ears, that resembled another pair of dog ears that they'd all come to love. The girls left the shop and returned to shopping, after a few hours Kagome and Sango decided they were hungry, as she started to steer Sango towards the food court she heard a familiar voice call out to her "Hey Kagome, how are you?"
Groaning she turned to face Hojo who was approaching with another male at his side, "Feeling better I see." Hojo said to her as he stood there with his normal goofy starry eyed look. Faking a smile she waved at him and said "Hi Hojo, yes I am feeling better." "Who's this?" he asked her looking towards Sango, "Oh yeah, this is my cousin Sango, she's visiting from America." 'Well that was good enough reason to explain her awe of everything here she's not from this country.' Kagome told him then smiling at her triumphant thoughts, "Well it's nice to meet you Sango, I'm Hojo a friend of Kagome's from her school, and this is my cousin also, his name's Toru." He said still smiling at Kagome, Sango noticed this and made a mental note to ask about this boy later, she also hadn't missed the fact that this boy Toru was smiling at her with stars in his eyes, blushing she looked away and back to Kagome.
"Well I am sorry boys that we have to cut this little visit short, but Sango and I have to be going, we are supposed to be watching over the shrine while my family is away for the week, we must be getting back. It was nice seeing you Hojo and nice meeting you Toru." Her words came out in a rush as she pushed Sango towards the exit, waving Hojo off. When they were safely outside Kagome let out the breath that she hadn't known she'd been holding with a loud SWOOSH
"Jeeez, I can't go anywhere with out that guy coming out of no where!" she stated as they climbed on the bus that had just pulled up. They were silent on the their trip back to Kagome's house until they got inside, Kagome immediately noticed something was different but hadn't noticed anything out of place so she shrugged it off. Then she walked into the kitchen noticing something she said "That's weird, I thought I left the note from my mom on the kitchen counter." Looking at the piece of paper that was lying on the dining room table, "I think I'm losing it." She mumbled to herself then turned to Sango "Come on let's go lay out in the sun."
A few things to ponder.....
What is up with Inuyasha lately? The hugs the looks......I think Kagome thinks she's going crazy! Then there's Miroku, what do you think it is that he's really afraid of in Kagome's time? Think it could be all those boys Kagome talks about all the time......hmmm.....
Ok, I think that's enough for tonight, 4:15 in the morning and I'm tired of typing. I'll put the rest of this chapter in the next chapter, well I think this chapter was kind of boring, but it was needed to establish a few things. Review please.......thanks so much horsie slobbers and hugs LaterZ:OP
