Chapter Six: Kagome's Back


Yusuke followed Kagome into the house. "Mom, I'm home!" Kagome shouted. Kagome's mother walked out and smiled at both Yusuke and Kagome.

"Oh, hello Yusuke! Would you like to have dinner here?" Kagome's mother asked. Yusuke nodded a little bit. "Good! The phone's over their if you need to call your mother." Yusuke nodded and was talking to his mom while Kagome unpacked all of her stuff from the trip. It didn't take long for her to finish and she headed downstairs. Yusuke was watching Souta play on his Playstation 2.

"Does Souta always play on this thing?" Yusuke asked as Kagome sat down next to him on the two-person couch. They both blushed and Kagome smiled.

"Most of the time he does. So, how was your week while I was away?" Kagome asked. Yusuke shrugged.

"Not very interesting. I'm pretty sure you saw the homework on your desk." Yusuke said. He had dropped off all of her homework for her. "I had to force your Grandpa to say that you had the flu. He was going to use leukemia as your excuse." Yusuke laughed at the horrified expression on Kagome's face. "How was the Feudal Era?" Yusuke asked.

"Surprising mostly." Kagome said. Yusuke asked her to explain and she did, leaving out the part where she realized that she had a crush on him. "That's basically what happened!"

"So you're just going to let Kikyou have Inuyasha without a fight? Even after all you two did to each other?" Yusuke asked, dumbfounded. Kagome nodded.

"Yeah. I just finally realized that I don't like Inuyasha that way anymore." Kagome said, smiling. Souta had finally grown tired of listening to the conversation and left the room after turning off the Playstation, leaving Kagome and Yusuke alone.

"Do you have your sights set on someone else?" Yusuke asked. Kagome smiled genuinely at him and nodded.

"Yeah. I bet you'll never guess who!" Kagome laughed. Yusuke thought on it.

"Kuwabara?" He laughed. Kagome thought about it and mentally cringed. Kuwabara was nice...but he wasn't her type.

"No. Guess again!"

"Kurama?" Kagome laughed.

"I like foxes and all, but Shippo is really the only one I'll get really close too." Kagome said. Yusuke knew who Shippo was thanks to the pictures that Kagome had shown him.

"...Miroku?" Kagome looked horrified.

"No! I'm still trying to get Sango to admit she likes him!"

"Kouga?"

"No." Kagome thought about the mental image of her and Kouga together. He wasn't her type, no matter how much he tried to get her. She noticed Yusuke look really happy as she rejected all of his guesses. He paused for a second before stating his next guess.

"Me?" He asked, a slightest bit of hope in his voice. Kagome's eyes widened and she blushed.

"You could say that..." Kagome looked down. He probably didn't like her. She felt two fingers under her chin and was forced to look at Yusuke, who was smiling.

"I bet you can never guess who I've set my sights on." Yusuke smirked, and planted his lips on Kagome's. Kagome was shocked at first but then leaned into the kiss. They broke apart when they heard a soft snicker. They both whirled around to see Souta trying to hold back a laugh.

"Souta..." Kagome glared, knowing what her little brother's next move was going to be. Souta just smiled and started running.

"Mom! You'll never believe what I just saw!" Souta shouted and both teens grabbed the back of Souta's shirt. They covered Souta's mouth so all anybody could hear were muffled words coming from Souta.

"You know what Kagome?" Yusuke asked, a dark grin coming on his face. Kagome smirked.

"What Yusuke?" Kagome asked, her was completely innocent compared to her facial expression. Souta went bug-eyed.

"You know that Ayame girl that Souta keeps on talking about?"

"Oh, you mean the girl whose phone number he left on the message pad?" Kagome and Yusuke smiled even more darkly as Souta tried to struggle out of their hold. Yusuke smirked and nodded to Kagome, who tightened her grip on Souta as Yusuke walked over to the phone.

"Maybe we should give her a call...what do you think Kagome?" Yusuke said, looking Souta in the eye.

"It sounds like a great idea! Why not tell Ayame that Souta likes her?" Kagome nearly cackled she was in such an evil mood with her little brother.

"Now that might be mean Kagome..." Yusuke said, his smirk still present on his face. "I mean, what would we get in return for doing such a thing?" Kagome looked down at Souta.

"Souta, do you want us to call your crush?" Kagome asked. Souta shook his head vigorously. "Then will you keep quiet about this?" Souta nodded feverishly and Kagome let go of him.

"Don't call her! I promise I won't tell!" Souta begged and Yusuke nodded.

"You better keep quiet about this." Yusuke demanded, and Souta nodded before darting up to his room. Yusuke walked back to Kagome.

"Does this mean that we're together?" Kagome asked Yusuke, slightly blushing. Yusuke smiled warmly at Kagome. She was cute when she blushed.

"Yeah." Yusuke said and stole a quick kiss. They heard footsteps and whirled around just in time to look innocent to Kagome's mother.

"Dinner's ready!" Kagome's mother chirped. Yusuke and Kagome sat down next to each other at the table.

"Kagome! I see my charms have worked and you have come home!" Kagome's grandfather was practically in tears when he saw her. Kagome held back a laugh and just nodded to her grandfather's statement. Kagome's mother brought out the food and Kagome split into a wide smile.

"Oden!" Kagome squealed and Yusuke stared at Kagome like she was nuts. Why was she squealing?

"Kagome...what's going on?" Yusuke asked. Souta spoke up for Kagome.

"She loves Oden a lot." Yusuke nodded in understanding and happily ate his share of the Oden, while Kagome nearly gulped down hers.

'She has an appetite...that's for sure.' Yusuke thought, putting some oden into his mouth.

The next day

It was Saturday and both Kagome and Yusuke were walking hand-in-hand towards Genkai's place so that Kagome could train. Kagome kept her fighting clothes in a duffel bag and it was at her side at the moment. "Yusuke, are you ok?" Kagome asked. Yusuke seemed a little bit nervous. Yusuke blinked and Kagome realized he hadn't been paying attention. "Yusuke? Anybody home?" Kagome knocked on Yusuke's head and they both laughed.

"I'm fine, just thinking to much." Yusuke said and Kagome looked at him in mock disbelief.

"The great Yusuke Urameshi thinking? Impossible!" Yusuke rolled his eyes. They reached the shrine steps. "Race ya!" Kagome said taking off. Yusuke blinked for a second before chasing after Kagome, shouting things like 'cheater' and 'not fair'. In the end, Kagome won and they caught their breath before Kagome took off again. "YUKINA-CHAN!" Kagome shouted as she saw her best friend in this era. Yukina ran up to Kagome and hugged her.

"Kagome-chan! How was the feudal era?" Yukina asked, beaming that her friend was back.

"It was great! I even made friends with Kikyou!" Kagome said as the two girls went inside so that Kagome could change into her fighting outfit. Yusuke shrugged and went in search of Genkai.

"Yo, grandma!" Yusuke called out to Genkai, who semi-glared at him.

"What is it dimwit?" Genkai asked. She knew full well that Kagome was back and was currently changing into her fighting outfit, getting ready to train.

"After training, right?" Yusuke asked, and Genkai nodded.

"Yes dimwit, after training." Genkai looked past his shoulder and smiled at Kagome who had emerged from the temple with Yukina. "The trip made you a little bit stronger, I see." Genkai observed. Kagome nodded.

"I just got up late at night and trained myself while everybody was asleep." Kagome felt great. She finally felt that all of her worries were leaving her alone for the time being. She didn't have to think about Inuyasha anymore and she and Yusuke were together. They started training and Yukina decided to make lunch for everybody. They took a break from training to eat lunch as they always did on the weekends when training and then went back to training. They stopped when the sun set and sat in the living room while Kagome took a shower.

"Ok, let's go home!" Kagome chirped and Yusuke motioned for her to sit down, which she did next to Yukina. Kagome was instantly curious. What was going on?

"Kagome, you know about Yusuke's job." Genkai stated and Kagome nodded. "You know who Koenma is and you know the dangers of a job like Yusuke's." Once again Kagome nodded, wondering where this was going to lead.

"Well, Koenma called Kurama and I in." Yusuke began. Kagome was definitely curious by now. "He said he wanted us to recruit somebody new to the team."

"Does he have anyone in mind?" Kagome asked, seeing where this was leading.

"Well...yeah...he does." Yusuke rubbed the back of his neck. "He kind of...asked for you."
