Mrs. Higurashi looked at Inuyasha in disbelief. Her daughter was gone, again. "Well are you going after her?" her eyes were somewhat a mix of fear, pain and anger. Well... mostly anger. What was it that Miroku had told him about a woman's anger not too long ago?

"A woman's anger is unpredictable, my friend. It can come quickly and disappear even faster. If provoked they will explode, destroy everything in their path. They are like a hurricane... you can see it coming, you can try to prepare yourself but you can't stop it and in the end your just digging your own grave..." He remembered the day well; actually not really, he couldn't even remember what Miroku was wearing or why he was telling him this, but he remembered his words well. "To avoid a woman's anger is simple, just don't make them mad, avoid it at all costs. And if you do... Do what ever the hell they want you to, or run like the death reaper is out to get you!"

At the time that his friend had told him he truly –to tell the truth – didn't give a shit. But now that he was standing in front of a woman who's daughter had just ran away after being away for four years. The advice was all he had. He could do what she wanted... which didn't seem too bad or he could run. He shivered at what kind of stuff his father would yell at him, what kind of things his mother would throw at him and the snide remarks his brother would say. SO the only answer was to do what she wanted than run like a bat out of hell, because apparently Kagome didn't want to be brought back and her temper was the worst thing he had ever had to face.

"Fine," he growled at them as he folded his arms across his chest.

"THAN WHY AREN'T YOU GONE!" Mrs. Higurashi yelled at him.

"I thought I could have something to eat first," Inuyasha whined. He groaned mentally, you're only stalling numb-nuts!

"I am going to close my eyes and take a deep breath and if you are NOT GONE! By the time I open them, I will not be responsible for what I do to you." She growled at him as she shut her eyes and took a deep breath. Faster than anyone could blink Inuyasha was gone.

"Stupid people, do this do that, fuck! Shove that shit back up your ass!" he mumbled to himself. Picking up Kagome's scent he followed it, to the place he least expected. A graveyard...

"No matter how strong a woman is, she will always drift back to where she feels the safest," Miroku's voice floated into his head. "No matter what you do, no simple person can change this sense of security unless they destroy it. But than we go back to the speech about a woman's anger..."

"Why the hell are you in my head Miroku! If wanted you there I would have put you there." Inuyasha walked through the graveyard pounding his head trying to get the little Miroku's out. "I'm going crazy, I am seriously without a doubt going insane. This is your fault Miroku, you hear me, DO YOU HEAR ME!" he brought a hand to his brow as he got a head rush. "Whoa, I knew I shouldn't have ate that chocolate! I knew what it does to me! Damn!"

"I don't know what to do..." Inuyasha stopped in his musings when he heard the voice of a girl. Stopping behind a stone he heard the girl sigh. "I told him I would, he knew that I would give in. For goodness sakes! I shouldn't have even opened my big mouth. I have to grant the wish or he'll kill everyone. I don't know what to do daddy... oh I miss you so much, you would know what to do."

"Kagome?" he walked out of the bushes and stood next to the gravestone she was sitting in front of.

"What do you want?" she growled out not even bothering to look at him.

"I came to help you," he lied, well only partially lied. He believed she was in some kind of trouble when he first found out she was hiding from the police, but her being here asking her desisted father for advice confirmed it.

"Hah! Say that to my ass!" she laughed as she got up and walked away. Inuyasha went to follow her but everything became a little blurry.

"Whoa," he said as he put his hands out front of his body and blinked his eyes.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome looked at him and waved a hand in front of his face. When he didn't follow her – which she was sure he would – she turned around and found him as white as a ghost. "What the hell is wrong with you?!"

"Ate too much coco-late, mmmm... coco-late," he mumbled coherently.

"Coco-late...? CHOCOLATE?! You idiot, even I know you can't eat chocolate without getting sick!" she yelled at him, just as he fell to the ground holding his head.

"Not so loud," he mumbled. Kagome growled and pulled her wallet out of her pants. Digging through the many pockets she pulled out a small packet and ripped it open. Placing it under Inuyasha's nose she smiled when his eyes grew wide and he jumped onto the nearest gravestone, though instead of landing on it, he fell over it and land on his head.

"Get it away from me!" he screeched backing up. Kagome clutched her sides laughing, the small packet forgotten at her feet.

"No matter how old that gets its still hilarious. Though I still don't know why you are scared of cat nip..."

"I'm not scared of it. I just don't like the smell of it," Inuyasha growled at her. He looked up at her and couldn't help but smile. Her hair may have been a mess but she was still beautiful.

"Yep keep telling yourself that puppy, now if you would excuse me I need to be going."

"Why?" he asked.

"Why? Why do I have to leave?" she looked to him an eyebrow raised, not trusting his voice he nodded. "I have to take care of some unfinished business."

"Okay," Inuyasha got up and followed behind the retreating woman.

"What are you doing?" she grinded out through clenched teeth.

"I'm coming with you..."

"No!"

"YES!"

"NO!"

"I SAID I AM COMING WITH YOU AND THAT IS FINAL!"

"Nnn... FINE!" Kagome gave in and stomped through the graveyard, hard enough that the dead under her feet could feel it.

Inuyasha looked at her and smiled sadly, "Kagome you have been my best friend since we were little kids and I will do anything to help you, you know that."

"I know." She smiled back at him and turned to leave.

"So...' Inuyasha wandered behind. "Are you going to tell me what 'unfinished business,' you have to do?"

"You're a pain in the ass, I hope you know that."

"You have told me that on many occasions. But no changing the subject."

"Fine, you see, there is this jewel called the Shikon-no-tama and can grant anyone a wish. But in order to make this wish you need a Miko or priest or whatever. So the dude that has it now, well lets say he's the biggest asshole I ever met. Well he came after me four years ago, just after dad died. He tried to convince me to make the wish come true but I ran."

"So let me get this straight, you're a Miko?" Inuyasha's eyebrows flew upwards hidden by the rim of his hat.

"Yes, I got it from my dads side of the family." She glared at the honyou and continued on her way.

"Oh really. So when your father wasn't selling stolen goods or Illegal Street racing, he was praying. Oh that's hilarious tell me another one Kagome!" He meant it as a joke, for he always knew her father was a holy man but the glare she was giving him told him to back down.

"Yes Inuyasha he was holy, now if you are not going to be serious about this than leave. If you are going to be serious about this than follow me."

"Yes Ma'am!" he saluted her and bounded off after her. "Where we going?"

"To get some supplies. With your help and the help of some other people I don't think Naraku will be getting his wish..."
