Inuyashasitboy20: This is Chapter 4. Enjoy.
NOTE: I changed my mind about switching POVs every chapter, so Kagome is going to be narrating the whole story.

Chapter 4: Surprise!
I walked out of school at 3:00 PM. I stretched. "Ah! Finals are done!!" Now I could go back home and rest after studying 24/7. As I was walking down the street, I suddenly got hungry. So, I stopped by Wacdnald's to get a burger.
Then a burger turned into 2 burgers. Then 3. I don't know why I was eating so much. I was never this hungry before. People coming in the restaurant and stared at me wolfing down my food as they went to the counter to order their food. As I was gobbling down burgers, Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi walked in together.
"Kagome!" They looked over to me, and they stared.
"What's with all the burgers?" Yuka asked. "I-uh, got hungry..." I said and scratched the back of my head. "Hungry?! You look like you haven't eaten in weeks!!" Ayumi said.
"Hai, and you haven't been in school (college) for a while. It's beginning to be like it was before when you were sick all the time!" Eri bent down to me.
"Well, I actually have eaten, but a few months ago I stopped eating after it happened..." I tried to avoid the memory of Inuyasha dying.
"What happened? You haven't told us anything lately," Ayumi complained.
"Okay...well, you remember that boyfriend that I told you about in junior high?"
"Are you two still GOING OUT? I thought you two would be married by now!" Yuka and Eri said.
I got a slight tear in my eye. Ayumi saw the tear fall from my cheek. The three of them stepped into the booth I was in.
"Kagome-chan, did he break up with you again?" Ayumi asked. "Iie...he..." I clutched my skirt.
"He died." There. It was out. I couldn't hide from the truth, so I just had to face it. I looked up to my friends who had blank faces. "But, before he died, he p-proposed to me. I accepted and we started planning our wedding. But a week later, he was stabbed in a gang fight. Some guys were coming on to me and he started to beat them up, but one guy pulled out a k-knife, and--" I stopped. Man, I'm actually good at making up stuff. I didn't have to have gramps make up stories for me getting mysteriously ill with like 'ringworm' or something. I could have just said something that sounded realistic.
"N-no way," Ayumi covered her mouth with her hand when she gasped. Eri stared at me. "Are you joking with us, Kagome-chan?" I shook my head. "You know what I noticed? You never told us his name!"
His name? Should I tell them his real name? If I do, will they think he's a demon? Oh well, I'll just tell them.
"His name? It's...I mean it was Inuyasha."
"Inuyasha?!" Yuka stood up as quick as she had sat down.
"Yeah, Inuyasha," I said, looking confused. "Have you heard about him, Yuka-chan?"
"Uh-huh!" I gulped. Was she going to say that he was a demon? I hope not. Then I would have to explain the whole thing about me being absent so much to go to the Sengoku Jidai. I held my breath, as Yuka would probably reveal what I had been keeping secret for the past 4 years...
"He is--"
SLAM!! The door to the restaurant door slammed. We all looked at who rushed into the restaurant.
It was Shippou. I looked up at him with shock. He had grown about 5 feet in the last 500 years. He didn't wear his hair in a bow anymore (thank god for that), and he didn't look so much like a girl anymore. He used to be cute like a puppy-dog, but now he's like 'Wow, you're hot!!' It was kinda strange that I found him hot because I had practically been his mother for the past 4 years.
He looked over to me and gasped. "Kagome?! Hey!! I haven't seen you in 500 years!!" he yelled very loudly and waved rapidly. His voice had changed a lot too.
Uh-oh. He said it. I hope the three of them took that as a joke. I stood up quickly and clutched Shippou's arm. I ran him over to the other side of the restaurant. He winced in pain while I cut off his circulation. He's a demon, so that wouldn't hurt THAT much would it? I let him go at the doors off the restroom doors. I looked him in his bright-aqua eyes. He looked a little confused. "Why did you pull me from them?" he asked.
"The only people that know I went back to your time are my little brother, my mother, and grandfather. So don't go telling everybody ELSE in the city about my little trips." He nodded an affirmative. "And how did you find me? This city is HUGE!"
"I found your scent while I was buying something for my wife. So, I decided to see what was up. And then I saw you go into this place."
"You're married?! Is she a kitsune too? How long have you been married? When did you meet?" I asked. Shippou was married! Of course I would ask that many questions if he was practically my SON!!!
"Actually, I married Satsuki," he said. "But-but how can you still be married now? Isn't she human?" I asked. "That's a funny thing...see, Satsuki's father was a demon, so it kinda carried into her blood, so she was a half-breed too." He said as he scratched the back of his neck and smiled.
"Well that's good for you, Shippou-chan—or should I call you Shippou-kun?" I looked up to him (He was actually TALLER than me!). "You can call me Shippou. It's less confusing to other people because I don't think it would be right if you went around calling a grown man 'chan'." He laughed. "Okay, then. Shippou it is!" I smiled and hugged him in the way that a mother would embrace her child.
When I hugged Shippou, I felt happier than I had been in months, like a piece of me had been returned. I felt that now I was able to tell someone about what I was feeling and they would understand. I just wish Miroku and Sango could be here also. But nothing would make me feel any better than to have my love here with me.
I grabbed Shippou's hand and walked him over to Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi. They looked up at Shippou in awe. They must of thought he was cute too.
"Uh, Kagome? Who is this?" Ayumi asked as she skimmed Shippou up and down.
"This is Shippou. He was one of mine and Inuyasha's best friends." I looked over at Shippou, who waved to the three.
"Konnichiwa. I'm Shippou. You must be Yuka (he looked at Yuka), Eri (he looked at Eri, who nodded), and Ayumi (who smiled as he looked at her). Kagome has told me about you (A/N: Not really in the series, but let's just go with it anyway.). Well, I'm sorry, but I have to get back home. I'll see you later, Kagome!"
Shippou walked towards the door, and I yelled, "Tell Satsuki-chan I said hi!" "Okay, I will!" he said. He waved, and then walked out the door, to disappear into the crowd of people on the street.
Inuyashasitboy20: So.... whatcha think? I am SOOOOOOOOOOO sorry it took so long to post this chapter!!!! (In one breath =) My internet was messed up so we had to get a new internet and it didn't work because of the stupid Internet Explorer so we had to do something (I don't remember what) and we got it to work breathes deeply. So, I hope you can forgive me!!! Bows a lot Ja ne!!!! Runs away
