*********************Chapter.... uh.... I forgot, but it's called Mommy May I
Inu-yasha, Miroku, Sango and Kagome walked from the entrance of the shrine, laughing and joking about the events of the previous night. Sango even made Inu-yasha try to stifle a giggle when she pulled an exaggerated imitation of Sessho-maru's face. They had caught him trying to tug the rosary off, just to fail spectacularly and throw a tantrum to match. The party strolled nonchalant into Kagome's house, Inu-yasha in the lead. He yawned and dove into the couch, making himself comfortable, but his amber eyes were still open, and made Kagome jumpy because he was watching her nonstop.

Would you stop staring at me?! She had gotten fed up, and she stood with her hands on her hips. He pouted at her comment, and her face softened.

I'm not a show, you know.

He was obviously disappointed, and he flipped over, facing the back of the couch. Kagome sighed and rolled her eyes. She sat on the space left on the couch, and touched his shoulder. He didn't react, and when she leaned over him she discovered his eyes were closed and his face was slack. She reached down and pulled off her shoes, she laid down on the little space left on the couch, and hugged him around his middle. She buried her face into his back and smiled. She loved being so close to him, after all, she couldn't stand it when he wasn't there.

Inu-yasha cracked his eyes open, he could fell her warmth pressed against him, and almost started when he saw her arms snake below his crossed ones. She was so special to him, he would never be able to stand life without her, he felt this was his second life, and she was there from the very beginning, when she pulled out the arrow.

He made sure that she was asleep, before he took her hands and held them to him, like a precious jewel.

*******************


Damn it! That dog-doogie is no where! Kouga was on his hands and knees, sniffing the ground.

I can't see my woman unless I find the dog. He lifted his head to the wind, and let it blow through his hair. He smirked, the wind had brought a slight scent of Kagome, sweet like sakura, with pureness, if it had a smell it would be Kagome. He ran in the direction of which the scent came. He was running through a quiet forest, and found the strangest things. He saw a huge tree flash by on his right, and on his left streaked an old, dried-up well. The scent was collected here, and he skidded to a stop, and dashed back to the well, and looked into it. It was empty, Kouga stared into the well for several seconds, biting his lip.

Why does the scent gather here?' He thought to himself, still staring into the well's depths. He looked up, and found the gigantic tree's branches blocking the sun. He jumped onto a limb, and nearly choked on the stench of dog boy. H e abandoned the branch he was on and leapt into one just above it. He would wait here until his woman returned to the spot she went all of the time. He leaned against the tree trunk and filled his head full of thoughts of Kagome.

******************


Inu-yasha! Kagome! Wake up! Sango was shaking her friend's shoulder and yelling in her ear.

Kagome groaned and opened her eyes, she noticed her arms were still around is waist and she removed them quickly in embarrassment. Sango had already seen, and was wearing a grin the size of Colorado. Inu-yasha rolled onto his back and opened his eyes, and saw Sango and Kagome having a mute conversation. He sat up and crossed his legs, his eyes still half closed.

Whaddya want?

Sango ignored him and directed the situation towards Kagome.

Your okaasan is home.

Kagome jumped up and looked around the room. There were blankets strewn everywhere and she was sure the kitchen was a mess. Inu-yasha! Sango! Help me clean up! She hopped off the couch and started loading blankets into Inu-yasha's open arms. When she was done, he was holding a pile of colorful blankets. She tugged at his haori sleeve and directed him to the linen closet. She gave brief instructions to toss them in, when she dashed off to the kitchen, to find miroku, fast asleep, with his head on the gajiin table snoring loudly. Kagome strode to him and smacked him hard on the back of his head.





*smack*



Did you know you talk in your sleep? She ran to the kitchen and grabbed a pot when the front door opened.

Kagome!!! Are you all right!? We're home!! Kagome doubled over as a little boy about 11 years old ran into her.

She ruffled his hair and smiled. He drew out of the bear hug and looked around, just noticing Sango, Miroku and Kohaku. And so did her mother.

Kagome, who are these people?

Mom, this is Sango, She pointed to Each in turn, stating their name. She just was finished with Kohaku when Shippo, Kirara, and Keade came down the steps.

And this is Shippo and Keade. Kagome's mom didn't seem thrilled.

Any more fugitives? Kagome glanced in the direction of the hall. If okaasan found out that Inu-yasha was here, she would get even more angry. She knew that Inu-yasha had a thing for her daughter, and having him stay in the same house for several days would be too much.

Kagome mumbled, avoiding her mom's eyes. One more, but you've already met him.

Why are there strangers in our house?

They aren't strangers! They're my friends! Kagome was getting mad, and the whole room could tell. They are here, because they were hit by the same snow spell that we were, and I was just being helpful!

Kagome's mother flopped into a nearby chair, and sighed.

I'm just glad you're ok.

Kagome relaxed slightly, she wasn't angry.

I suppose you need me to get back to feudal japan.

That is a good idea, the sooner you get that jewel thing completed, the sooner you can come home.

all right, I'll pack my bag. She walked to the stairs and signaled for Inu-yasha to follow. They walked to her room and closed the door.

Inu-yasha, once we finish the jewel, what will happen? He just stared over her shoulder, apparently in deep thought.

I want you to stay.



I want you to be with me always. His eyes dropped to the floor and he shuffled his foot gingerly.

Her eyes filled with tears. Inu-yasha.... you know that's not possible if you become full demon. She choked on a sob, and he brought her into a tight embrace.

Who ever said I was becoming a demon?

But I don't want to die! I want to be with you for as long as a demon's life goes! But... but I know that's not possible either. she jammed her lips on his for reassurance and he kissed her back, nice and slow. It was a short kiss, but it was filled with the insurance that he would always be there, no matter what.

He wiped away a tear with one clawed finger.

Don't cry, please don't cry. she looked away. We have each other now, and that's what matters.

She smiled at him and bent over her closet contents, pulling out items as she rummaged. Inu-yasha would catch them and drop them into her over sized ruck-sac. She got up and closed her closet door. She strolled over to the small desk opposite of her bed, and pulled open the bottom drawer. She found a large brick red book. She opened it and the first page was shiny. Inu-yasha stooped beside her and examined it. It was filled with the most exact paintings he had ever seen. There was Kagome, with Shippo, and Sango and Miroku sitting beside a lake, holding hands. She turned the page and he saw himself staring straight back at him.

Who painted these?

No one did, its called a photo.



Look at this.. She pulled a small silver box from the top drawer. You aim with this little window here, and when you have the picture you want, you press the button. Here, pose. Inu-yasha gave her a questioning look and opened his mouth to ask what a pose' was when the box blinded him an there was a small click'.

Kagome rolled over, laughing. He had the funniest expression on his face when she had taken the picture.

It's called a camera.
