OMG! I have reached over 100 reviews! I love you all! *huggers* Thanks so much your reviews and compliments.
About the poll- Thanks for your responses to this to. Many wanted Hojo. But a few of my reviews suggested to do someone small for a few reasons. After thinking over this, I happen to agree with them.
But don't worry Hojo, Miroku and Sango will be coming in later.
Someone wanted to know about their ages. Add 6 years on to their age in the anime/manga and there you go!

A Child Shall Guide Them
Chapter 5


InuYasha reluctantly tore his mouth from Kagome's and banged his fist on the wall, mumbling about stupid doors. Kagome's arms fell from his shoulders and landed back by her side. The door bell rang again. Lifting her hands she pressed her open palms against InuYasha's chest and pushed. He wouldn't budge. She sighed.

"Move your stubborn hide out of my way." She said pushing again. He smirked down at her and shook his head. The door bell sounded again.

"Mom," Shippo said enter the living room though the kitchen doorway. "You could have gotten..." His voice drifted off at the sight of them. He stared at them and they stared back. Kagome's cheeks and neck colored red. When the door bell rang again, Shippo smirked pointedly and answered the door. Outside, stood the mailman holding a brown cardboard box. Taking a glance around the room, he noticed Kagome and InuYasha against the wall and flushed.

"S-sorry to interrupt. B-but I need someone to sign for this package." The mailman bowed his head and stammering over his words from embarrassment. Before the mailman could look up again, Kagome had flipped InuYasha around and had him pressed against the wall, her chest to his, hiding him from view of the man.

"Sign that for me, Shippo." Shippo nodded with a puzzled glance at his mother. After signing the paper Shippo practically pushed the man off the threshold and shut the door in his face.

"Now." Shippo folded his arms across his chest and backed up against the door. "Want to tell me what exactly is going on in here, mom?"

"Nothing." InuYasha spat out answering for her.

"Mom?" He said emphasizing on the word.

"Shippo, don't you have something you need to get back to?" His eyes got wide.

"Oh man! Yuna is on the phone." He said with a urgency in his voice. The he took off into the kitchen. Kagome let out a sigh as the sound of his footsteps faded. Then she stepped away from InuYasha with high hopes of escape. But luck just wasn't with her today. The moment she pulled back, InuYasha wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer.

"Trying to put a move on me in front of the mail man?" He asked, referring to when she flipped him on the wall. He ran his hand along the side of her waist, sending chills though her.

"No!"

"The way you pasted your chest across mine, said different." Something he said ignited a flame inside Kagome.

"I didn't paste my self across you. I was hiding you from the mail man."

"Oh, ashamed of me?" He joked a smile playing on his mouth.

"Yes, as a matter of fact." She said her pure vemon in her voice, making it sound as though she was. Although she wasn't. Never has been. But she was angry. For a reason she wasn't even sure of. The hand that had been caressing her waist stopped and InuYasha stiffened, his smile instantly disappearing. Kagome looked in to his eyes and could see the hurt and despair he was feeling. Guilt filled her. He picked her up by the waist and moved her away. Once she was away from him he turned and went to walk away from her. Kagome grabbed his arm. He tugged away his arm and walked into the living room. After placing a small kiss on Sui's forehead, something he had never done before, he made his way to the door. He grabbed the door handle just as Kagome spoke.

"InuYasha! I didn't mean that!" She said in a rather loud whisper. He turned the door handle with every intention of leaving until Sui sat up of the floor rubbing sleep from her eyes. She glanced around the room in a squint as if not seeing properly.

"InuYasha?" She whispered when she saw him. "Are you leaving?" He turned his gaze from the wood door to her.

"Yea." Tears filled the little girls eyes and she stood off the floor and ran to him. Grabbing him around the legs, she clung to him.

"I'm sorry. Don't be mad at me. I wasn't really mad that you lied. I just wanted to play around with you. To make you think I was mad. But don't leave. I'm so sorry. You're my only friend." She looked at at him with hopeful yet tearful eyes.

Kagome watched as InuYasha bent his knees and squatted to Sui's level. He smiled softly, a smile that she noticed was reserved just for Sui. He tweaked her nose with one of his clawed fingers gaining a giggle from Sui.

"How about this. I will go home for, lets say a day or two, then come a vist you." She smiled.

"Mommy and Shippo to right."

"Yea. Shippo to."

"And Mommy?" she urged with her innocent childish ways. InuYasha looked at her for a moment before turing back to Sui and smilind that blasted smile again.

"Of course." Sui's smiled widened and she stretched her head and kissed his cheek.

"Feh." He said embrassed as he stood. She raised her arms to him when he reached full height.

"Hug please." He picked her up and they hugged, all the while, she stood feeling like a third wheel. He placed her back down and reached for the handle of the door again.

"Wait." She said suddenly surprising everyone. Even herself. He let out a sigh and turned around.

"What?" He asked with his patience runing low.

"Can we talk before you go?" She glanced at Sui, who was staring at them with a happy smile on her face. "Outside?"

"Whatever, wench. Lets go." He opened the door and she followed him outside. Once the door was shut an akward silence had fallen over then.

"About earlier. I didn't mean what I said. I was just upset and-" He rudly cut her off.

"Is this what you wanted to talk to me about?" She nodded slowly and he smirked.

"Well, it's a waste of both or time. I don't really give jack shit about it. Okay?" She swallowed the lump that had formed in her thoart and nodded. As he turned to go she started yelling at him. Saying things that needed to be said. Saying things she didn't mean.

"It's your fault you know. You're the one who abandoned me. You pushed me though that old well. 6 years InuYasha, almost 7. Not only did you push me though the well, you did it the night after you told me you loved me. Then, while I was here taking care of our child you where out doing, god knows what, most likely with Kikyo and having a wonderful time. For this, I hate you. You hear me? I hate you!" Anger flared in InuYasha's eyes. He took a step backwards.

"I am not having the conversation. I have to go. Sango and Miroku were expecting me back yesterday night. I be back around to see Sui in a day or so." Then he left. She stared after until he was no longer visible. Sitting on the rocking on her front pourch, she pulled her knees to her chest and rested her chin on them. A few minutes later the screen door squeeked and Shippo came outside.

"Mom? Where did InuYasha go? I wanted to show him something.Sui said you all where out here..." He glanced around.

"He left." She said without a glance towards him. Puzzled by her behavior he muttered a small 'oh' and walked back inside. The echoing thud of the door shutting was what started her tears. What had she done? No. She knows what she did. The real question was, what can she do to fix it?
