Ok, I took a long time to update. I'm sorry. But I have 2 more weeks a
school. Which means a lot of homework and lots me actually paying attention
in class. Plus it's the end of the year so me stupid school decided to
replace the 90 min study hall everyday with prayer services, assemblies,
and elections for student body officers next year. All in all it really
limits the amount of time I have to write.
On top of that no one was really reviewing, which left me rather unmotivated. Trust me people you review I'll write faster. To the two who did review: (I love you both)
InuyashaKogaRULZ: sorry about the wait
Master Thief: Don't die!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, expect in my dreams. They're good dreams =D
FF.net doesn't show stars anymore so I'm using (---)

"Here I made you all lunch" Mama smiled and handed Kagome a large box, "And here's some ramen just for you," she handed Inuyasha a sealed bowl
"Arigato mama" Kagome kissed her on the cheek.
"Now, you're sure you have everything?"
"Yep" Kagome smiled, lifting her old yellow "bottom-less" backpack onto her shoulder she stumbled.
Inuyasha unconsciously reached over to steady her. "Come on let's get going"
"Bye Nee-chan, inu-no-nii-chan!" Souta waved.
"See you later kid"
"Bye Mama, Ji-chan, Souta!"
"Take care"
"Don't worry I'll be back in 2 weeks"
"Have fun" Mama smiled reassuringly at her daughter.
With a final wave Kagome and Inuyasha jumped into the well.
(------)
Shippo sat with Kirara on top of the old well, staring down to the dry bottom.
"It's been 10 days Kirara, what's taking him?"
"Mew"
The well bottom glowed a bright purple and blue as Inuyasha and Kagome rose into it.
"Inuyasha! Kagome?!" the fox leapt into the girls open arms.
That was a mistake, Shippo had grown since their adventures together, the extra height and weight coupled with Kagome's bag proved to be too heavy, both girl and fox toppled over.
"Itai," Kagome groaned
"Sorry," Shippo looked down.
"Let her stand up, runt" Inuyasha pulled Shippo from the girl and then took her bag, slinging it over his shoulder.
"Kaede has been worried about you, Miroku and Sango too"
"Feh, they shouldn't have"
Kagome rolled her eyes, climbing out after the boys. "Well hello Kirara'" The small cat jumped to her shoulder, nuzzling her neck. "I missed you too"
The group made their way to the village, Shippo and Kirara bounding in front of the other two.
Once Sango had decided to wait to rebuild the exterminators' village she and Miroku built a hut in Kaede's village. The hut was large and sat on the edge of town closest to the forest. It was not home to Miroku and Sango alone however, Shippo, Kohaku, and Inuyasha filled it, and there was a spot for Kagome should she choose to fill it.
"Sango! Miroku! He's back!" Shippo called out reaching their house.
Miroku emerged leaving the door open so that Shippo could bring Sango out. "Inuyasha, I did not thing you would take so long. I was beginning to worry"
"Feh, why would you do a stupid thing like that?"
"Because we happen to care about you," Sango said, joining the group. "I just sent Kohaku to get Kaede, she's been worried sick"
"Feh, she's too stubborn to die"
Kagome coughed, remembering him saying that before.
"Kagome?" the couple said in unison, noticing the girl.
Sango reached out, pulling her friend into a tight hug, "What are you doing here?"
"Two week vacation. I thought I should come and visit," she looked the woman up and down, "you are positively glowing"
Sango beamed, "He's been asking for someone to bear his child for so long, I thought it was time he got what he wanted" she leaned in to whisper, "I pray to the gods that it's a girl though"
Kagome giggled before hugging Miroku, "You two will make wonderful parents"
"So you have returned, Kagome," Kagome stood with Kohaku and Shippo.
The young girl smiled, "Kaede-baa-chan, I've missed you"
Another hug was shared. "You've grown my child."
Questions and answers were thrown back and forth as everyone caught up with each other. Inuyasha slipped away from the group and into the hut to eat the ramen still clutched in his hands. Kirara followed the hanyo, mewing lightly.
"You want some too?" he questioned, she mewed in response, "Well Kagome has all the food, but here," he scooped some noodles out and offered them to the cat.
Shippo bounded in, "Kagome brought lunch! You two going to come and eat?"
Inuyasha nodded, getting to his feet, Kirara leapt for Shippo's arms.
"Kagome-chan this is wonderful, as always"
"You must thank your mother"
"Absolutely delicious Kagome-sama"
"Can I have more?"
"Save some for me!"
(------)
Crickets chirped in the warm spring night. Kagome found that, once again, sleep refused to come to her. She stood up from her sleeping bag, careful not to wake Shippo, and headed for the door.
She allowed her feet to carry her into the forest. In her mind she sought out her friends, she could sense their presence in the hut behind her. Except for one. He was ahead of her, where her feet were taking her. Her body was drawn to him, it always was.
Reaching the Goshinboku she didn't bother to look up and seek him out in the branches. She knew he was there, close to her, and that was all that mattered. She settled herself among the roots, out there, under him, sleep came quickly.
(------)
Inuyasha watched as Kagome entered the clearing and sat among the roots below him. He kept his eyes on her, taking in all her features as best he could from the distance.
It was not the first time her has noticed the similarities between Kagome and Kikyo, but after his stay in the future he knew just how different they were. Though he had to have been blind not to see it before.
Kikyo was the first human, besides his mother to accept him, want his company, love him. Kagome was the first human, besides his mother, to do so unconditionally.
Kagome loved him for who he was, for what he was, for what he was. She could ware down all his barriers with a single smile or a single tear.
Kikyo did not show emotions openly, which had suited Inuyasha perfectly, he was the same way. He could not recall a time in which he had seen her openly cry and he smiled only when we thought it was deserved or if it was directed at a child.
If she had lived, Kikyo would have made a superb mother. Kagome was destined to become one, judging the way she acted with Shippo. It was one of the few similarities shared between the two women.
Below him Kagome shifted in her sleep, "Inuyasha" escaped her lips in a whisper.
"She's dreaming about me?" he stared in wonder before diving down to examine her closer.
"How could I be so stupid?" He knew, perfectly well, why he had made his choice. He had owed Kikyo, but with Naraku's death the debt was paid off. So in theory he should be able to move one.
"It's funny now hard that seems, moving on. How did Kagome manage it?"
He lost himself in thought again over the similarities and differences of the two women. "Did I really love Kikyo?" was the question that continually sprung up in his mind, taunting him, haunting him.
Sleep washed over him as he pondered. He didn't even notice himself slouch over towards Kagome. Sleep claimed him leaving the question to absorb his dreams.
(------)
The low morning light and chirping birds woke Kagome from her slumber. Though she was awake she refused to open her eyes, "No was want to go back to sleep, I was having a good dream," she moaned.
An unfamiliar weight was settled in her lap, and covered the length of her legs. She forced her eyes open and looked down. There was the silver haired hanyo, his head on her thigh, his torso settled over the rest of her legs, and his arms looped around her waist.
He looked so peaceful and content there she was afraid to wake him. "When did he end up there?" She blushed trying to thing of a way out of their position. She sighed, the only way to move him would be to wake him.
A smiled played on his lips and he clutched her tighter.
"It wouldn't kill me to stay like this a little longer and let him sleep," she thought, "I wonder what he's dreaming about"
A crow cawed from the top of a near-by tree. Kagome snapped her eye's shut and Inuyasha's fluttered open.
In his mind he tried to make sense of his surroundings. "I'm outside. It's morning. There's no immediate danger. Kagome is sleeping in my arms." "Wait what?!" he nearly yelled out loud that got his attention. His mind reeled, he tried desperately to remember lying down on the girl when another thought struck him, "How long could I get away with staying like this before she wakes up?"
Her eyes opened
"Chikuso" he cursed inwardly.
"Inuyasha?" she looked down at him silently praying that he thought she had been sleeping.
The half dog sprung from his position, blushing furiously.
Both remained silent, trying to control the bright red in their faces.
Shippo, who had been watching from the dense bushed on the edge of the clearing took this opportunity to hop in, "You two sure woke up early to make it all the way out here, and I didn't even hear you leave. Sango sent me to find you cause she made breakfast."
"Then let's go" Kagome smiled at him, standing. The girl and fox walked out of the clearing and towards the village.
Inuyasha lingered there for a moment before it registered that he was alone. Quietly he got to his feet and followed behind on the path his friends had just taken.

There. It's not exactly the best chapter, at least not in my opinion, that could be because the only chance I had to work on it for a good block of time was during lifetime movies. In the words of one of the kids from family guy "Television for idiots". We had to watch them in health class, movies on drug abuse and date-rape will not put you in the mood to write.
Anywho. if you want me to update faster I suggest you review! Please? All you have to do it write:
Hey, I read your story. Please update.
In fact I wouldn't mind if you just copied and pasted that little blurb. Though you can't unless you know the keyboard cheat, cause FF.net won't let you. Either way review!
