Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, even though I wish I did. Oh and this is my first fic so please, don't be too critical.

~~~Chapter one, Going home~~~ 'There is only one jewel shard left to collect, then I won't have a reason to keep Kagome here with me.' Thought Inuyasha who was sitting in a tall tree. 'I want to ask her to be my mate, but what if she doesn't feel the same way?'

"Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha jumps then realizes that it is just Kagome, "Oh, what do you want?"

"Well I have to go back to my time for Christmas and I was wondering if you would like to come with me?" She had been anxious to ask him since she wasn't going to have a reason to stick around after they found the last shard and she wanted to be with him.

"YOU'R LEAVING?!"

"Yes, would you like to come, I'm sure Sota would be happy if you did."

"Feh."

"Is that a yes or a no?"

"Sure, I'll come I guess." Said Inuyasha trying to hide his excitement for getting to spend time alone with Kagome. 'Maybe I can ask her sometime when we are there and won't be bothered.'

"Ok, we will leave tomorrow and be back in two weeks."

'Two weeks, YEAH!' Inuyasha thought, knowing that there would be plenty of time to ask Kagome his question. "Ok, let's get a good nights rest tonight then."

"Good idea lets head back to camp."

~~~~~~~Back at the camp~~~~~~~~

"Kagome left to go find Inuyasha a while ago, do you think she's ok?" Asked a slightly worried Sango.

"She's with Inuyasha, she will be fine." Miroku said, knowing that Inuyasha would do anything to keep Kagome safe.

As if on queue, Inuyasha and Kagome walk into the clearing.

"There you are, we were beginning to wonder if you had found him or not Kagome." Said Sango, relieved that her friend was safe. 'I should have known she would be fine, I mean Inuyasha can hear her from a mile away if she screams.'

"Inuyasha and I are gonna go to my time for a couple of weeks tomorrow." Kagome informed them.

"Really?" Said Miroku with a perverted grin. "And what, may I ask will you be doing there?"

"HENTAI!" Screamed Sango, whacking him on the back of the head.

"Well since you are leaving tomorrow you should get a good nights rest." Sango said smiling. 'I wonder if Inuyasha is planning on taking advantage of this vacation to talk with Kagome about after we finish the Jewel.'

"Kagome, can I come too?" Asked Shippo with tears about to spill from his eyes.

"Shippo why don't you stay with us this time?" Said Miroku, also wondering if Inuyasha was using this time to talk to Kagome.

"But why?" Shippo asked, tears beginning to spill from his eyes.

"Hey Shippo, I promise I will bring you back lots of candy." Kagome said, knowing that he would agree

"OK." Shippo said happily.

"Alright, then we should all get some sleep." Inuyasha said.

"Yeah" They all agreed before heading off to bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~The next morning~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ya ready to go Inuyasha?" Kagome asked looking very excited.

"Feh." Was his only reply.

The whole group then headed off to the well.

"Inuyasha," Miroku whispered, "Come here."

"What do you want?" Inuyasha mumbled so that the girls wouldn't hear him.

"Are you planning on talking to Kagome about what will happen after the Shikon Jewel is finished?" He asked hoping that Inuyasha wouldn't get ticked off.

"Of course I am you BAKA!" Inuyasha growled.

"Ok then, don't ruin it for yourself by starting a fight." Miroku advised.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Inuyasha asked knowing exactly what Miroku meant.

"I believe you know what I mean." Miroku said and then walked up next to Sango.

"PERVERT!"

SMACK

"Owwwww" Miroku moaned.

"Serves you right you hentai." Sango said.

"Chill Sango, if you guys are already fighting Inuyasha and I might just have to stay so you don't kill Miroku."

"I wish." Sango said smiling at Kagome, knowing that she wouldn't really do that.

They were almost at the well now and Kagome was anxious to go home.

"C'mon Inuyasha." Kagome yelled starting to run.

Inuyasha started running and passed her up in seconds.

"What took you so long?" He said when she got there.

"Shut-up." She growled.

"Well you guys better get going, bye." Sango said hugging Kagome.

"Bye guys," She said, "Sango, don't kill Miroku when we are gone."

"I'll try not too," Sango said slyly, " But you might wanna warn my boomerang as well." She said with an evil grin.

"Hahaha, you guys have fun, and Miroku you behave yourself."

"Yes Lady Kagome." Miroku said with a sly smile.

"Miroku, I'm warning you," Inuyasha growled "If Kagome agrees not to sit me, when we get back I will personally pummel you."

"I'll miss you Kagome." Shippo said jumping into her arms hugging her.

"I'll miss you too Shippo, and I'll see you in a few weeks." Kagome said smiling.

"Ok Inuyasha lets go." Kagome said walking up to him. She grabbed his hand and jumped into the well.
