Chappy 8: Past Situations

Sure enough, when Kagome finally reached her home, Inuyasha was waiting there, and her mother and Souta were trying to persuade him to not go out looking for her. Who knew what kind of havoc that kind of thing could bring?

"Inuyasha, will you, umm, play more video games with me?" Souta was running out of options. Since Inuyasha had come here about two hours ago, they had played almost every single video game he owned.

"And I could certainly use some more help around the house," Mrs. Higurashi piped in. Truth be told, the shrine was cleaner than it had been in years. The only thing that could be done now was repaint everything, and she didn't want to do that yet. Miraculously enough, with them both going all around the place cleaning, Inuyasha hadn't caught kikyou's scent. Or maybe he did and just didn't feel like saying anything.

"NO! I'm going to find -Kagome! You're late, wench! TWO HOURS LATE! We have jewel shards to collect!"

Kagome sighed. She thought she might be able to make it to the door if she was quiet, but she had no such luck. "Sit, boy." Over the years, Kagome had learned not to be offended by Inuyasha's harsh use of speech. When he yelled to his friends, it often meant he cared. Just the fact that he cared enough to want to go looking for her made her feel flattered. Long ago, Kagome might have thought that it was only because she was the 'shard detector', but now she knew it was because she was his friend, almost like a sister since neither could really express their feelings. 'I didn't want him to see me and think of kikyou. It's better this way.' "I know I'm late Inuyasha, and I'm sorry, but I just lost track of time," she said exasperatedly. "Give me five minutes to gather my things and then I'll come with you."

Inuyasha just "Feh"ed and disappeared into the trees. But when Kagome got to her room, she saw him there, right outside the window, watching her carefully to make sure she didn't spend any more time than necessary. She didn't give him the courtesy of opening the window.

When all was gathered into her giant yellow bag, Kagome walked out to the wellhouse where Inuyasha was waiting. He hefted her bag up and she climbed onto his back with ease. What else could you expect? She'd been doing it for years; it was the most natural thing for either of them to do. He jumped into the seemingly endless well and they were surrounded by a swirl of blue and purple lights.

~~~~~~Sengoku Jidai

When the two reached the other side of the well, they were greeted by a loud noise that sounded like flesh against flesh, accompanied by, "HENTAI!!! TOUCHING MY CHEST DOES NOT GIVE ME COMFORT!!!" Kag and Inu sweatdropped before Inuyasha jumped out of the well and Kagome gracefully returned her feet to the grassy ground.

A ball of fluff immediately jumped into her awaiting arms. "Kagome! I'm so happy you're here. ItwasreallyboringcuztherewasnothingtodoexcepthelpkaedegatherherbsandInuyasha wasbeingreallymeantomeandhekepthittingmeontheheadandtoldmetogogetlostinthefo restandandand"

"Shh. It's okay Shippou. I'm here now. Let's go back to Kaede's place and we can go off to collect more shards tomorrow. I'm really tired right now." Kagome started to walk in the direction of the hut and Inuyasha sighed in relief. "And Inuyasha, how many times do I have to tell you not to hurt Shippou?! SITSITSIT!!!"

So now, both Miroku and Inuyasha were left in the clearing with the Bone- eater's Well. One was knocked out and the other ticked as hell.

*****Kaede's hut

As usual, Kaede had been glad to see Kagome safe and well, so on and so forth, but she couldn't stay long because she'd been called to a neighboring village to be a midwife for the headman's wife. So she left shortly after Kagome's arrival.

"Kagome, I'm so happy you're back." Sango said. "Miroku won't stop groping me. I'm getting really sick of it."

"Well, you know, it's kind of a compliment with Miroku."

"In that case, he's been complementing every single pretty woman he's seen in this half of his life," Sango replied venomously.

Kagome's eyes knitted together in concern. "Sango, what's wrong? I thought you liked Miroku. You told me yourself you had some romantic feelings for him."

Sango averted her eyes to look out the window of the hut. "I know, but, I just can't handle him being so indecisive. I don't want to 'be' with him just because I am the first to agree to his question (you all know which one I'm talking about). I don't want to be in an intimate situation with Miroku just to have him run off to the next pretty face." She sighed. "I don't know how I feel about him now."

Kagome nodded in understanding. She used to feel the same way with Inuyasha and kikyou. Now that she had gotten over the heartbreak, that all hurt a lot less. She did still feel jealous when she thought of how Inuyasha always went after kikyou, but it was more in a protective sister kind of way, not possessive girlfriend. Besides, going back to Sango, she had lost everyone in her family to Naraku. Let's face it, Kohaku wasn't going to come back: the jewel fragment was the only thing keeping him alive now.

Kagome shook her head to clear it of all the depressing thoughts. Putting her happy face back on, "Let's get to bed. We have a week of shard hunting ahead of us."

AN: I meant to update a little sooner, but my sister wouldn't get off the computer and my laptop doesn't have internet access or my fics, sooo. Anywho, I hope this was longer than last time. Actually (now that I've checked) this one is four lines longer. Yay! *REVIEWers sweatdrop in background* Anywho, it's past 11 right now, so I'll just type up these REVIEWer responses then I can do some reading. Anywho, I hope this satisfied everyone for sengoku jidai relationships. That was kinda the point in writing this chappy. I think. Once again, I wrote this in a rush. Sorry if anything's weird. Well, yyh in the next chappy. ^_^

REVIEWer Responses:

Kagome11492: Wow, I'm so flattered. You are now, like, one of my favorite REVIEWers. You get to have the ultimate prize. *Lets Kagome11492 pet Youko's kawaii kitsune ears* *Pries her off. "okay, that's enough. Don't forget to REVIEW, everyone!"*

SerinityRules: It isn't a problem with your computer, it's the site. Usually when that happens to me, which is rarely, going to another site or closing internet explorer then coming back usually works. Thanx for trying.

SilentDark: firstly, I'd just like to ask you to send me the info I typed up in your response in the last chappy. I need that in the next two weeks, but the sooner the better.

Okay, you were asking how to post. This is how to do it using Microsoft word: 1. Type a chappy. Go to 'document manager' Where it says Label, put in the chapter title. Then choose either story format or poem format (I personally don't know the difference, so I just use story format) Then, where it says 'file' click browse, find the document you just typed, and you can either click it and hit open or doubleclick. Click upload document. Click 'click to continue' when the almost blank screen comes up (I think that's what it says) At the top, it will have the chapter name and whatnot; it's good to click 'preview' just to see it'll look alright once it's out. 2. Go to 'Create Story' after logging in. At the bottom where it says 'category' choose a category. From there it'll take you to a sub category, and so on. Basically, it's getting summary information. When you're done with that click 'create story' 3. Go to 'edit story/add chapters' this is where you can fix any info and add chapters to your fic. It's pretty self explanatory from here, just type in chapter title and select the document you just uploaded. A quick tip tho: if you ever replace a chappy, check the chapter numbers, just to make sure nothing's screwed up. It's happened to me already. Umm..that should be it.

ByeBye, everyone.

Ja Ne!
