I don't own Inu Yasha.
New Life and New Love
What was that?'
Hojo sat up in bed and peered out of his bedroom window. The stars were still in the sky, but the light would soon cause them to fade away. Again he heard something knock his window. He looked down into the courtyard beneath his window. There was some one there, but who?
"Kagome? What are you doing here?"
"Can I come in?"
Hojo raced down stairs in his pajamas and opened up the back door. Kagome walked in and began to walk to his bedroom.
"Kagome, what's going on? Is everything okay?"
"Is this your room?"
She pointed to the open door at the end of the narrow hallway. Hojo nodded slowly. He was completely puzzled as to why she was here, and why now. Kagome opened his closet door and took out a jacket. She wrapped herself in it tightly and sat at his cluttered desk.
"I'm sorry I surprised you like that. But you see, I had nowhere else to go. I couldn't go to my family because I didn't want a big fuss made over me."
"Is everything okay?"
"No. I can never go back to the feudal era. I don't want to go back, either."
"Why? What happened?"
"Inu Yasha hates me and he treats me like dirt. He abandoned me and the only reason that he rescued me was because he needed to find more jewel shards. I don't belong there. I belong here... with you."
Hojo face showed his concern for the young girl. He bid her to stand up and led her to his bed. He suddenly noticed how tired she looked and he knew that she had been through more than she had said.
"Thank you."
Kagome watched him as he left the room. She didn't realize how tired she was and she cuddled up in the boy's warm blankets. Within a minute she was fast asleep and dreaming of the feudal era.

Inu Yasha awoke to two bug eyes staring at his hair and his ears being rubbed. Sota ceased his rudeness when he saw the frown on Inu Yasha's face. Sota had found him sleeping beside the oven and his mischievous side surfaced.
"Uh... Good morning Inu Yasha! I'm sorry. Curiosity killed the cat!"
"Sota, where's Kagome?"
"She's supposed to be with you in the feudal era. Did she come back? Well, you can look for her in her room."
Inu Yasha walked towards her room. As soon as he opened the door, her angelic scent surrounded him. He looked at he bed, but it hadn't been touched. There was nothing that looked like she had been here. He sniffed around. But it all smelled like her, so he knew that his nose hadn't any advantage.
' Why do you smell so good? It kills me every time I come here. It just makes me want to hold your warm body and-'
"Is she here? Oh, well maybe you just dreamed that she came here. Are you sure she isn't there?"
"Of course I'm sure. She ran away and told me she never wanted to come back."
He stomped out the door and left the house. As he crossed the courtyard and headed for the well, he vaguely smelled an angel wing. He began to pursue it but halted when he saw that it led to the street.
' I could care less about what others think. I just have to find Kagome.'

Kagome looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. She was dressed in Hojo's older sister's clothes, which were too big for her.
' Should I stay here or not? I don't want to go home, but I can't live here."
"Kagome, breakfast is ready. Come on downstairs when you're finished!"
Kagome grabbed her dirty clothes and walked back down to Hojo's room. She threw her uniform in quickly and lightly skipped down to breakfast. Before she could get to the dining room, Hojo stepped before her and gave her a hug.
"Good morning, Princess!"
Kagome giggled lightly and before she knew it she had kissed him on the cheek. Hojo blushed as did she and there was an awkward silence.
' Why did I do that?! Well, who cares. It's not like anyone will get mad at me.'
Hojo grabbed her by the hand and introduced her to his family. As they sat down to breakfast, Kagome thought optimistically about never going to the feudal era again. Deep down she still yearned for Inu Yasha, but she tried to keep him out of her mind by replacing him with Hojo. Everything would be okay. And life would finally be normal.
' I'm only fifteen, I will love again.'
