Chapter one: Shocking arrangements

Inuyasha came through the well.

He could hear Kagome crying in her room, but for the time being he was ignoring that.

He walked into her kitchen. Her mother, grandfather, and Sota were eating lunch. Apparently, they didn't even know she was here.

"Well, what do you know... just the people I wanted to see." Inuyasha declared as he saw them.

Sota jumped up and threw himself around Inuyasha's leg. He was so happy to see him.

Kagome's mom hugged him and immediately went to tweaking his ears.

Her grandpa didn't even get up. "Why do you want to see us? Aren't you supposed to be in the past with Kagome?"

"Well... that's what I'm here to see you all about... Kagome isn't going to the past anymore. We finished what we were doing there. I want to live in this time so that I can still see her. Can you tell me how I can go about that?"

Inuyasha was being unusually polite due to his nervousness.

"That's interesting... I guess we could enroll you in Kagome's school." Kagome's mom said.

Inuyasha grinned.

"And you can sleep in MY room!" Sota declared.

"Ooh! I'm going to go call the school right now!" Kagome's grandpa said. He was enthusiastic about getting to make up more stories.

While Kagome's grandpa made some calls, Inuyasha went back to Kagome's room to see her.

Kagome had her face buried in a pillow and was crying bitterly.

Inuyasha walked right on in.

"Don't cry, Kagome."

"Why shouldn't I cry? I've got every right to cry! I'm never going to see him again, and what's worse is that I never got to tell him how I really feel."

"Tell who how you really feel?" Inuyasha teased her.

"Inuyasha..." She sobbed.

"I don't think it's too late." He continued to mess with her.

"Why?"

"Look up, Kagome."

She looked up at him.

"INUYASHA!" She shouted in surprise. "What are you doing here? I gave you the jewel!"

"I'm here to see you, of course. I'm going to be with you all the time, and I can make a big fuss everytime that I want to go home. It's reverse now!" He told her gleefully.

She got up and hugged him. "Are you sure that you won't be bored... you know, when you are waiting for me to come home from school everyday?"

"Oh I won't be bored..." He said coyly. "I'm going to school with you."

Kagome fainted.
