Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.......... yeah.....

Author's note: Sorry it's taken me so long to update. My exams are coming up so I've been trying to study.... so far I have failed. So, to not study I'm going to write this chapter! Yay!!

Chapter 19 To tell ya the truth.....

Inuyasha stood at the edge of the Bone Eater's Well, starring down the unknown darkness. 'What am I going to say to her family when I get there?!' He thought, taking in a sharp gulp.

He shook his head and stepped up onto the lip of the old well. With a deep breath, Inuyasha jumped down the well. He was surrounded by darkness, then blue and star-like-things burst up around him. Finally, with a quick flash of light, he was in Kagome's era.

Inuyasha looked up the well to see there was no sky but an old roof. Defiantly he was in Kagome's era. Already the weird smells of her time had reached his nose and started to make it itch.

With a quick scrunch of his nose as an attempt to get the smells out, he jumped up and out of the well, landing softly on the soil. He glanced up at the sliding door that kept him out of the bustling new world. He sighed and started his way up the old stairs to the door. With one final creak, he reached the door. Slowly, he reached out with his foot to open the door but suddenly the old door opened by itself and light poured into the old shack.

"Grandpa! Are you sure you didn't le-" A young boy now stood in front of the blinded Inuyasha. He blinked, starring up at the hanyou, then to Kagome. "Kagome!" Souta cried.

Grandpa ran out of the shrine, broom in hand. "Souta, what is it-" He stopped immediately, seeing his granddaughter in the arms of a half-man, half-demon. "Kagome!" He cried out, drooping his broom. "What did you do to her?!"

Inuyasha sighed deeply and was about to start to explain when he heard the hurried footsteps of another person. Soon, Mrs. Higurashi came from around the shrine with clean laundry in hand. She gasped, dropping the freshly washed clothes onto the ground. "What happen?!"

"That's what I want to know!" Grandpa growled, taping his foot impatiently.

Inuyasha frowned. "Well, can I at least put her down somewhere?!"

After laying Kagome down in her bed, the Higurashi family and Inuyasha sat in the living room. Briefly, Inuyasha explained the whole fight with the demon and how Kagome had saved him..... well, he didn't touch on the subject too much. At the end of the story, Mrs. Higurashi stared at him blankly, Grandpa glared at him in disgust and Souta grinned.

"Cool! Tell it to us again!" The young boy chirped.

"Souta, go check on your sister." Mrs. Higurashi said calmly, not taking her eyes off of Inuyasha.

"But-"

"Do as your mother tells you." Grandpa said firmly, pointing to the stairs that lead to the 2nd floor of the house.

Souta moaned in displeasure and slowly walked up the stairs.

There was a long awkward silence as Grandpa just stared at Inuyasha and Mrs. Higurashi had finally lowered her head in thought.

"What..... should we do?" Mrs. Higurashi finally asked.

Inuyasha shrugged lightly as if he didn't care. "I don't know."

Grandpa could not keep his frustration to himself any more, he was boiling. "What do you mean you don't know?! This is all from your damn time-"

"Father, calm down." Mrs. Higurashi said calmly, placing a reassuring hand on the older man's shoulder. "If Inuyasha doesn't know what to do, then he doesn't."

"I'm sorry." Inuyasha said quietly, lowering his eyes to the ground.

Mrs. Higurashi smiled weakly. "It's all right. Kagome is lucky to have someone like you to care about her as much as you do."

Inuyasha blushed deeply, now starring at the older woman who sat across from him. "I-i..... uh...... it's....."

Grandpa frowned, crossing his arms over his chest. "Well, what are we going to do for my grand-daughter??"

"Let her rest for now." Mrs. Higurashi sighed lightly as she stood up. "Inuyasha, you can stay here if you like. I know Kagome will like to see you when she wakes up."

"Well, I....... I guess I could...." Inuyasha stumbled, still a bit flustered over how Kagome's mother knew how he..... felt.

Mrs. Higurasha smiled. "I'm glad." Inuyasha blushed slightly as Mrs. Higurashi just smiled even more. "I'll go make the bed in the guest room and dad, call a doctor." She commanded as she left the room.

"You are not allowed to go in or near my room." Grandpa growled as he stood up with a crack of his knees.

"Keh, why would I want to go in that stink hole?" Inuyasha retorted.

Grandpa just glared at him as he walked off, pulling out demon wards from his pocket.

waterdoragon: Well, what did ya think? Yeah, it was a short chapter and nothing much happened, but we all had to know how Inuyasha broke it to her family! Well, please R&R!
