Chapter 4- Just in Time
Kagome's clock went off at 6:30 sharp, she calmly picked it up and threw it out the window.
I've been hanging around Inuyasha to long she thought.
I wish I could see him again was her next thought.
Just then Sota burst through the door and went straight to jumping on her bed.
"Mom wanted me to see if you were up yet," he practically yelled.
How can he have so much energy this early she thought exhausted?
"I'm up, I'm up" she said flipping the covers back and sitting up.
"Jeez you look like a zombie, did you sleep at all last night?" Sota asked.
"I don't need this right now, Sota, can you just go away" she asked pleadingly.
Sota thought about bugging her more but one look at her face to him he better just go.
She got up and went to her closet and pulled out her favorite pair of jeans and an old but comfy shirt.
After changing she quickly brushed her hair and teeth and went down stairs for breakfast.
"Good morning, honey" Mrs. Higurashi greeted cheerfully.
What's good about it Kagome thought depressed.
Mrs. Higurashi turned around to give Kagome her breakfast surprised to find Kagome not in her school uniform.
"I don't feel good can I just stay home please?" she asked her mother.
"I don't know" Mrs. Higurashi replied not sure until she took a good look at her daughter she doesn't look like she slept a wink last night.
"I guess, it doesn't look like it would do you much good any way" she said finally.
"Thanks mom" was all Kagome said before she went back to her room to try to catch up on her homework, forgetting her breakfast.
~Later that day~
Kagome awoke to the sound of the doorbell I must've fallen asleep doing my homework she thought hazily while going for the door.
On the way she found a note taped to the door saying every body was at the grocery store and they would have asked her to go but she didn't want to wake her up and that they all loved her and would be back in awhile.
She opened the door to find Hojo standing there doesn't he ever give up she thought.
" Hi Kagome feeling better" he said cheerfully as usual
" Hey Hojo, what are you doing here" she asked afraid of the answer.
" I wanted to see if you felt up to a movie tonight" he asked hopefully
What should I tell him, I could say I don't feel like it she thought suddenly very tired?
You have to get over him, girl she thought mentally berating himself.
You have to move on that settled she was just about to say yes when she seen a red and silver blur out of the corner of her eye " Inuyasha…" she said walking right past Hojo.
Inuyasha's sensitive ears picked it up, he turned to prove her suspicions, then stopped its better for her to stay here and finish 'skool and be with her family he thought determined not to answer.
He turned to go back to the well, but he couldn't his heart wouldn't let him; he had to tell her if only to go back to the feudal era afterwards without her.
Kagome ran with all her might to catch up with him, she was certain she saw him I couldn't be imaging it, could I? She thought.
Hojo was in shock a few minutes before he went after her who is Inuyasha? He thought angrily if Kagome had a boyfriend she shouldn't have lead him on like that was his next thought.
"Inuyasha" Kagome said coming up on him.
You could make it to the well, you could run he thought or you could stay and tell her he reasoned with himself.
His decision made he turned around to look at her she's so beautiful he thought I don't deserve her.
"What are you doing here?" she asked glad to see him if only for a few minuets.
For a few minutes he didn't answer, they just stared each other if I'm gonna spill my feelings I'm gonna spend as much time with her as I can cause now is probably the only time I got, she's not gonna want to come back to the feudal era with me… with a hanyou. He thought very disheartened now.
Before Kagome new what happened she was in Inuyasha's arms, which is the only place she wanted to be.
She put her arms around him too if he's going to act like this then I'm going to take advantage of it She thought smiling.
"I needed to see you," he finally answered hesitantly.
Could this really be Inuyasha talking, the Inuyasha I know would never say that she thought stunned.
Hojo could now be totally freaked out Kagome was standing there hugging a freak of nature, he started to think that the ears were fake but they moved so he decided to leave and probably never bother Kagome again, with that he left.
"Inuyasha what's gotten into you?" Kagome asked
Inuyasha pulled back a little he could see her face "Kagome there's something I have to tell you" he said suddenly very shy.
"Ok" Kagome said getting hopeful
"Remember before you left what you said?" he asked quietly
"Yes" she said her cheeks flaming red
"Well, you left before I had chance to tell you that… that I…
This is harder than I thought it would be I've come this far might as well say it
"I love you too" he said his cheeks burning red.
Kagome looked up at him happily and then hugged him again when she pulled away she saw a weird look in Inuyasha's eyes.
"Inuyasha, what's wrong" She asked worried.
"How can you love me, love a hanyou?" he asked
"Inuyasha when I look at you I see a friend, a person I trust and somebody I care for deeply not a hanyou," She said looking at him lovingly.
"Your amazing, Kagome, you look at people and see the good in them" he said leaning down.
Kagome felt herself lean up almost unconsciously I can't believe he loves me back She thought looking into his eyes.
Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore so he did something he's wanted to do since he can remember, he kissed her with every ounce of love he had in him.
Kagome was to say the least shocked when she felt Inuyasha kiss her, in her wildest dreams she would never guess it would feel this good.
She decided then and there that even if she had to give up the modern world and live in feudal Japan she would because she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Inuyasha.
When the kiss ended they looked into each other's eyes and decided that no matter what happened they would never love any one else as much as they loved each other.
"So what now?" Inuyasha asked still a little confused
"I'm not sure" was Kagome's reply
Inuyasha suddenly picked Kagome up "eep" Kagome squeaked "what are you doing, Inuyasha?" She said clinging to him.
He didn't answer he only kept going until he got to the god tree, there he sat down and put Kagome in his lap "We'll figure it out here" he said finally.
Kagome had a blank expression on her face for a few minuets before she decided that was fine with her and laid her head on his shoulder he in return wrapped his arms securely around her.
Kagome closed her eyes I could get used to this she thought suddenly drained. Then a thought popped in her head.
"Where are we gonna live?" She asked out of the blue.
"Exactly my thoughts, we could live in the modern era but then what about me, I don't know how anything works here and if we live in the my era you won't get to see your family any more" Inuyasha said with a sigh.
Wow he's really thought about this she thought surprised
"We could use the jewel to leave the well open, but that's a selfish wish so it won't disappear" Inuyasha said
"How can we get the well to stay open without the jewel?" Kagome said more to herself than to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome she looked to be in deep thought, she suddenly snapped her fingers.
"We can't," she said a little to cheery for the revelation she just made.
"So it's hopeless," Inuyasha said miserably.
"We can use the jewel" she said happy she figured it out.
"I thought we established we couldn't use the jewel" Inuyasha said frustrated.
"For a selfish wish" Kagome said
"Will you just spit it out already" Inuyasha said now really frustrated.
"We use the jewel to bring back Midoriko" Kagome said excitedly.
"How will that help?" Inuyasha asked not getting the point.
"She can keep the well open with a spell or something," Kagome explained.
"It might work" Inuyasha said thinking on it some more he said, "I think it would work" with that he pulled kagome to him for a quick hug and kiss.
"Your brilliant, Kagome" he said now more excited.
"Ok now that we got that settled lets move on to telling my mother she should be home any minute" Kagome said a little less enthusiastic.
Inuyasha got up and put Kagome down still holding her hand while walking to the house when they got inside they went to the living room and set down.
"So what's happened since I've been gone?" she asked
"You were only gone for a couple of days" Inuyasha replied
"So nothing happened then," she pressed
"I think Miroku and Sango are together now," he said uninterestedly
"WHAT!" she basically screamed "and you wait till now to tell me"
"Wait how did you even know?" she asked
"I caught them kissing" he said
"Already" she said
"We kissed right after we confessed our feelings" Inuyasha replied
"That's different" she said her cheeks stained pink
"How" Inuyasha inquired
Just then a car pulled up "oh look at that Mom's home" she said rushing out the door.
Inuyasha followed her out and was handed a couple of bags "what's this" he asked
"Just put them on the kitchen counter" Mrs. Higurashi said grabbing a few herself.
Once all the groceries had been put up Mrs. Higurashi asked what Inuyasha was doing there not that she minded she just wanted to know why her daughter was suddenly glowing.
"That's what we need to talk about" Kagome said shyly.
"Ok" was her simple answer.
They all went to the living room and Kagome and Inuyasha sat on the couch just a little closer than normal and Mrs. Higurashi sat in the chair across from them.
"So what did you want to talk about, Honey" Mrs. Higurashi asked with a knowing smile.
Kagome and Inuyasha both blushed a light pink "Um… well you see… that is to say" Kagome stuttered, she then elbowed Inuyasha in the side "you tell her" she said with pleading eyes.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome's mother and was at a loss for words.
"Yes Inuyasha" she said patiently
"um well me and Kagome are…are…" he looked at Kagome "I can't do it" he said ashamed
"what's going on you two" Mrs. Higurashi asked confused.
"well me and Inuyasha are sort of going out" Kagome said this time blushing scarlet.
"finally I thought it would never happen" Mrs. Higurashi said happily.
"how did you know we were going to get together" Kagome asked bewildered even in her wildest dreams she never thought they would be together.
"women's intuition" she replied before getting up to leave, at the door way she stopped to say "she was happy for them and she was going to leave the two love birds alone"
"so your mother doesn't care if you date a hanyou" Inuyasha asked in amazement.
"No" Kagome replied.
"now we just have to tell the others" Kagome said going to get her bag so they could head back.
"you want to tell them now" he asked surprised she wanted to go usually he had to drag her back.
"yeah I miss them so why not go tell them now" she said happy she could go see them again.
"feh" was all he said.
"mom I'm going to the feudal era" Kagome yelled going out the door "Bye"
"Ok bye dear bye Inuyasha" she said cheerfully.
Inuyasha only waved as they headed towards the well.
I can't wait to see every body again and get the details on Miroku'S and Sango's relationship she thought
When they got to the well Inuyasha grabbed Kagome around the waist and jumped down the well when they got to the other side they headed for the village when Inuyasha suddenly jumped in front of Kagome "stay behind me Kagome" he said getting into a fighting stance.
"why" she asked worried.
"there's something coming, something evil" he said sniffing the air.
