Authors Note. I didn't have my beta reader do this chapter so the grammer will be horrible. But atleast you'll get the point. I spent my free time on this, though its not like I had much to do. Most chapter updates won't be this fast so don't expect it to be. I hope you enjoy my hard work Cya

Disclaimer :I don't own Inuyasha and there might be some OOC but I don't think so. Inuyasha's acting a lot nicer then he's supposed to. Oh well.

Chapter2

That afternoon Kagome was practicing her miko powers as well as her archery.
"Did you know that she was a really powerful miko?" Inuyasha's father asked him.

"No, why would I know? I bearly even talk to her. Besides she's so young I didn't think that she could do much."

"Your only eighteen and you can do a lot unless I'm wrong." Inuyasha's father raised an eyebrow questionably.

"Keh, there aren't many really great mikos. Well not like she's made out to be."

"Can't she be an exception?"

"Maybe."

"What if she doesn't even know if she's that powerful?"

"We'll just have to ask her when she's done."

(Kagome went to bed after practice)

"Ohhhhhh" Kagome groaned as she sat up. She had practiced archery till she was stiff. Wow she was dedicated she thought sarcasticly. She was stiff to the bone and was on a soft mattress in her room.

Kagome noticed that there was light coming through the window. I must have been out a long time. The door of her room opened to omit Inuyasha. Inuyasha, scowling, carried a bowl of soup. He went to her bedside and set the tray down on the table next to it.

"So you're up?"

Kagome nodded meekly too stiff to do anything else. Her stomach groweled, she was starving as well.

"Can I ask you some questions?" Kagome nodded again. "Are you a miko"?" Kagome nodded a third time. Her brain was still sorting through the fogginess in her brain.

"Do you know your potential?"

"potential?" Wow Kagome that was real intelligent she thought to herself.

"Like how much you can purify, that kind of stuff."

"No." Kagome shook her head a few times clearing it. "Wait! how did you know that I was a miko that had some potential!" Inuyasha groaned inwardly this was hopeless he thought. There was no way Kagome knew anything but that she had some potential, or was it that she just woke up and needed some food?

She was so pale and looked like she didn't have a clue to what was going on in the world. "Never mind, here, have some soup." Inuyasha handed her the soup he brought up. He watched her as she practically inhaled the food. She was gaining back some color and the dumb look in her eyes was disappearing as well.

"Do you know anything about yourself?" Kagome looked up from her mad attempt to make world record.

"I dun no amyting ad al.(I don't know anything at all)" Kagome said through a mouthful of soup swallowed and was about to go back to eating when Inuyasha took the bowl.

"Do I have to repeat the question?" Inuyasha said again patience thinning. Kagome stared longingly at the soup. Inuyasha saw this and waved the food under her nose like a trainer bribing a horse. "I won't let you have any till you answer me."

He's tempting me Kagome thought wistfully, and it's working. She looked again at the soup then at Inuyasha who was watching her intently.

"I don't know, I am a normal person that has had a lot of family deaths. My bow is my best friend since I can... I mean, that's all there is to my life!...yeah" Kagome added hesitantly. Yeah right I mean she added silently. Inuyasha was astonished, He hadn't known that she had had a lot of family deaths. Maybe that's why she sometimes spaced out. Oh whatever.

Inuyasha realized Kagome was waiting for her food and gave the bowl back to her but surprisingly she didn't start to eat she just stared at him.

"Why are you staring at me?" Kagome blinked. She hadn't realized that she had been staring. She shook her head a few times but when she lifted the spoon to her mouth Inuyasha stopped her. Kagome looked up to meet Inuyasha's intense blue eyes. Wow! What beautiful eye's he had Kagome thought, now that she looked his eyes they were pure gold and sparkled slightly.

"I don't know I guess it's just me." Kagome put the bowl aside and tried to get up but let out a huge groan.

"What's wrong?" Inuyasha now asked.

"I think I'm stiffer then a piece of wood at the moment." Inuyasha reached for Kagome's arm but she drew back looking a little skeptical.

"I'm just going to see if your arm is really that stiff and if I can do anything about it." He reached for her arm again and when he felt the upper muscle and the lower one he was a little surprised. She was stiffer than he'd thought. Then felt her back muscles with the same result.

"Lie down, I'm going to give you a message, it makes your muscles more relaxed and from the feel of it you need one right now." Kagome lay back on the bed a little skepticle. This was out of character maybe he was sick. She looked up at him, oh well I'll enjoy it while I can.

Inuyasha started to knead at the tension that had collected at her neck and then started to message her shoulders. It felt heavenly. Kagome felt that there was no care in the world. After a while Kagome fell asleep. Inuyasha stopped messaging and collected the soup and the tray. Then he leaned over and pulled the covered her with blankets.

Inuyasha saw his father waiting for him at his room.

"Did you go visit Kagome?" Inuyasha ran a slow hand through his hair and looked at his father.

"Yes and she's asleep now if you wanted to talk to her you'll have to wait." Inuyasha remarked a little resigned on this topic.

"Actually I didn't want to talk to her, I was going to ask you if you found out if she had a lot of miko potential."

"She did say she knew she had potential but didn't say how much."

"Did she say anything about her potential in archery? Or if she can combine it with her miko abilities?" Inuyasha thought about this for a moment. She, in fact, she had said something like that she her bow was her friend or something similar.

"She did say that her bow was her friend or best friend. Something like that is it the same thing?" Inuyasha's father thought about this for a while then replied slowly as if he didn't really know what he was going to say.

"I think it is, or maybe she just likes to use that weapon." He said more to himself then to Inuyasha, "She's good at the bow isn't she. Yesterday she did better then most of the army," He laughed, "They have someone to jealouse about. Anyways then I'm almost certain that she has potential to become a very powerful miko, but I might be wrong. Lunch?"

After lunch was Done Inuyasha went over to the dojo to do some training. He had to get better at using the sword his father gave him or he'd take it away. After that he met up with hi father again.

"So are you coming to dinner?" His father was reading a book.

Inuyasha shook his head. His father raised an eyebrow and they both headed toward the dining hall with his father. "We're actually going to leave tonight and we-um I mean we are going to visit ah, some of her cousins so I can get to know some of them." Said Inuyasha but it was obvious to Inuyasha's father that he was lying but it was also obvious that Inuyasha wasn't going to tell him so he didn't ask where he was really going so it was pointless to argue with him.

After Inuyasha had escorted his father to dinner he went to wake Kagome but found that she was already awake and dressing.

"We're going to go search for your 'someone' so you better hurry up."

"I know, just let me dress up first."

"I got the supplies ready and an extra horse for you."

"Did you bring food?"

"Of course, such an important thing I could not forget." Inuyasha said sarcastically, "I wouldn't even imagine how we could go for an as much as an hour without it."

"I'm not that bad. I just eat a lot when I'm hungry. Anyone does, and since when have I not lasted an hour without food," Kagome said hands on her hips. "I was exaggerating. But I guess I was not far off seeing how your face and all." Inuyasha looked pointedly at her face. It had turned a deep red, "Don't be embarrassed I know you eat so much that your dresses don't fit you after each meal."

"I DON'T EAT THAT MUCH! AND IF I DO ITS NOT ALL THE TIME!" Kagome yelled as she threw a vase that had been in reach at him but missed by a mile. Inuyasha winced as the vase smashed into the far wall. He wanted her to stop yelling, his doggy ears which are extremely delicate when it came to yelling were pounding. My eardrums probably broke Inuyasha thought. When Kagome got mad, then people would glad to see you alive again. Inuyasha attempted to shush her. Didn't really work but she calmed down eventually.

"I didn't mean that. I was just joking." Inuyasha said as she patted her shoulder she was now a little more than aggravated but it was better then her getting mad Inuyasha thought.

He is so mean. I don't eat that much and he would know that. I'll just have to calm down. Kagome took a few deep breaths and said quietly, "Are we going now and can I see my horse first?"(A/N-don't ask, Inuyasha doesn't want to carry her and she doesn't have a bike) Inuyasha saw that she was making an effort to not get mad at him and was grateful.

"Sure, I'll show you to the stables." Kagome followed Inuyasha to the stables. The stables were huge. They were also the best stables she had seen for the cleanness of floor and the neatness of tack. Inuyasha led her toward a white mare. She was beautiful and she said so.

"Yes her grand dam was my fathers best mare and her mother was my sisters first horse. She's a beauty isn't she?"

"Yeah but why is there a speck of silver on her for head?"

"We don't know. None of her bloodline had it, just her. You can have her, She is very well tempered."

"You-you mean it? I can...can have her?"

"Yes I mean it. You don't have a mount of your own anyway so I'll give her to you."

"Oh Inuyasha." Kagome threw her arms around him around him. She had always especially liked horses and this one seemed ready and good to ride as well. Kagome stepped away a little flushed.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to jump on you like that it...it won't happen again."

"Here." Inuyasha said as he handed over the reigns to Kagome. "We start now or as soon as we're ready ok?" Kagome nodded agreement and said,

"I'm going as a boy on this trip. It wouldn't do for people to find an unmarried pair traveling together would it? "

"In other words, you wouldn't want to be mistaken for a whore." Kagome glared at him, "But you have a point. I can lend you some loose shirts and a hat to hide that you're a girl and you'll also need some pants" Kagome shook her head, Kaede would probably have a fit when she was wearing a shirt and not a dress but pants? Kaede was going to have apploplexy. "Then lets go up and see what fits you." Kagome followed Inuyasha into the house and up to his room. Inuyasha headed to a wardrobe and handed Kagome a pair of clothes and singled to a small room. Kagome took the clothes and headed toward the room. She tried the clothes on and went out. And when she got out into Inuyasha's view he started to laugh.

"What's so funny?" Kagome asked, "I don't look that bad!"

"The (laugh) the shirt (laugh) is back (laugh) backwards and...and so are the pa..pants and those (laugh) those clothes are way to...to large for you."

Inuyasha burst out laughing again. Kagome turned to look at herself in the mirror. She did look like someone just draped an oversized blanket on her but it wasn't that funny. In the end she took two more tries and found that the only pairs that fit her properly were Inuyasha's clothes from three years ago.

Finally when they left Inuyasha's room she was wearing her new pair of shirt, pants, and a hat that hid her hair. You would have to look pretty close to realize she was a girl but if she let her hair down it was very obvious even to a drunk that she was a female.

When they went down the wall they bumped into Inuyasha's dad. He gave a skeptical look at Kagome and her clothes but said nothing to her. He leaned close to Inuyasha's ear and whispered "Shouldn't Kagome be wearing dresses rather then pants?"

"We are traveling father! What do you expect?" Inuyasha whispered back.

"Well, she's a lady not a...not a dox-." He decided not to say the word he was going to and substituted it with, "boy."

"We are traveling long distances," Kagome said, "It would be totally uncomfortable to ride all day in a uncomfortable dress now wouldn't it Lord West?" Inuyasha's father looked like he would object but he didn't.

But instead he turned around calling behind him I guess its right but remember not to stop at pubs or anything. Kagome called after him "See you later." And turned to Inuyasha and clapped her hands together, "Well, that was nice, so let's go." She turned around taking her and headed toward her room to collect her packs.

Inuyasha trotted after her meeting her at her room.

I hope you liked it.
