Inuyasha's Adventure

By: Neptune Princess

Chapter 4

Several minutes passed before Kagome untangled her arms from him and leaned back on her heels. Inuyasha found the courage to face her and asked, "So, are you coming back with me?"

Kagome giggled at his question and answered, "Of course! Why not?!" Inuyasha sighed and stood, sometimes she was just too hard to read. But that's what he loved about her, she was unpredictable and wild, just like he was. He looked around and sweat dropped. Kagome had already gone through the well without him. He gave an exasperated sigh and looked around one more time for good measure before jumping into the well himself. He'd have to ask Kagome about that Kikyou comment later.

***Pretty Flashes later***

"Kagoommee! You're back!" Kagome barely had time to look around before a tan ball of fur rushed into her arms.

"I said I'd be back didn't I?" Kagome answered stroking Shippou's lovely fur.

"Kagome, were you with Houjo? Inuyasha was really really mad when he came back, but he wouldn't say why." This was the wrong thing to say however because at that moment Inuyasha leapt out of the well and lunged at Shippou saying, "You're gonna wish you'd never got in my business fox!"

In his haste, Inuyasha tripped and fell into Kagome, knocking both her and himself down, him on top. Meanwhile, Shippou had jumped away from Kagome and onto Miroku, and was now looking at a crimson hanyou and a burgundy miko.

"Inuyasha get off me!" Kagome screamed. Inuyasha jumped up twenty feet and leapt off into a tree still blushing madly. Kagome, who was brushing herself off, was in the same boat trying desperately to maintain her normal coloring. Being the adorable kid he is, Shippou, cocked his head to the side and asked, "Why are you so red Kagome?"

"No reason, any ways let's get back to the village," and with that she dashed off followed closely by Miroku with Shippou on his shoulder.

***Back at the Village***

"Kagome ye are back," Kaede said as she hobbled out of her hut.

"Yup, and I don't have any tests or exams for a while so I can stay longer."

"Inuyasha is not with ye?" Kagome turned her eyes down trying not to betray any emotion as she said, "No, he went off into the woods somewhere."

***Inuyasha in the 'God Tree'***

'What's going on with me? Why was I blushing, after all she is my girlfriend. That's what I should call her right? No, mate, that's better. She's my mate.but the other's don't know yet. I hope Kagome hasn't told them' a smile came to his lips, 'I'd rather show them.' That last thought was all the motivation he needed to go back to the village and see what was going on.

***Village***

Inuyasha walked into Kaede's hut after following Kagome's scent and voice into it. Miroku was the first to speak, "So Inuyasha, hear anything about the shards?"

"No, I was just running through the woods." Inuyasha sat down relatively close to Kagome, but far enough that Miroku could sit between them. Miroku noticed this, stood, and was just about to go sit in the space when a "conveniently placed" clawed hand pushed him back.

"Sit down monk," Inuyasha growled.

"I just thought Lady Kagome might be lonely sitting by herself," Miroku answered putting on his most innocent smile.

$Grrr$ "She's not by herself, I'm right here," he paused, "and you're right there." At that time Shippou decided to make himself known by squeaking, "And I'm right here." Inuyasha practically flew out of the hut before dashing back in and yelling at the small kitsune.

"Dammit Shippou! Don't hide near Kagome!" All the while he cursed himself for being too distracted by her scent.

"Why? Couldn't you smell me?" Shippou asked with an evil grin. Inuyasha just "Keh"d and said, "Get some rest, we're leaving in the morning."

"Where are we going?" Kagome asked, rolling out her sleeping bag.

"We're going to see if there are any more shards in your time." After he said this Inuyasha left the hut to go back to the 'God Tree'. Kagome just smiled and climbed into her sleeping bag with Shippou curled up next to her.
