Everywhere to me

An Inuyasha fanfic by FireDreamer(firedreamer1@yahoo.com)

Insert Standard disclaimer here.

Miroku could see the tension in the air, well not literally(what do you think this is? An anime?), but he thought if it got any worse he would. Kagome hadn't said a word to Inuyasha all day, and Inuyasha had sulked, occasionally looking her way only to look away again. Miroku glanced at Sango and Shippo, who were tense from this silence too. Shippo looked sad, but didn't say anything about it.

After a good hour of this Miroku stopped where he was walking. Sango ran into him, not paying attention to where she was going. "We're never going to find anything this way! What is going on here?"

"Priest." Sango said.

"Yes, dear Sango?"

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY BREASTS!" Sango punched Miroku away.

Miroku stayed sitting where she hit him "So what's going on? Kagome, don't tell me you've agreed to bear my child and Inuyasha's angry about that?"

Kagome glared. "It's Inuyasha's problem. Not mine. And I didn't agree to bear anything you lecherous priest."

"My problem? Oh so you wanted Sesshoumaru to kiss you?!"

"I never said that!" Miroku blinked and watched the argument, backing up against Sango. Shippo hid behind them.

"I suppose I should have let him kill you!" Inuyasha yelled. The group looked to Kagome for a response.

"He couldn't hurt me! You attacked him in front of an innocent little girl! Didn't you see how close you were to her, or how scared she was? You are such a jerk!" They looked back to Inuyasha.

"Maybe I should have just left you to him! You're such a stupid woman sometimes!"

"You'd be happy about me being gone! You'd run straight into Kikyou's arms and that would be the end of it all." Kagome turned on her heel. "I can look for Shikon shards myself. I don't need the help of some mannerless dog eared jerk!"

Inuyasha stared at the offending woman. How dare she"I can find them on my own better than you can anyway!"

"If you can find them so well than I'm going home!" Kagome yelled back as she walked off in the general direction of the well.

Miroku, Sango, and Shippo looked from Inuyasha to Kagome, and glared at Inuyasha.

"What are you looking at?!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sesshoumaru frowned at the crying Rin, who was not really as reassured by Kagome's comments as she had seemed to be. She kept saying she didn't want Sesshoumaru to leave her. Rin knew what death was and people trying to kill other people looked like that. It didn't look anything like brothers fighting.

"There's no way he could possibly kill me, so stop crying." Sesshoumaru winced and patted the girl on the head gently.

Rin clung to him suddenly. "Everything is nicer with Kagome. Sesshoumaru-sama should marry Kagome and then Rin will have a family again!"

Kagome Sesshoumaru frowned, and then looked around suddenly. She was near. He could smell her nearby.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Stupid Inuyasha!" Kagome picked her way through the woods heading back towards the well. Well, She could sleep in her own bed tonight, not on the ground.

InuyashaThinking certainly wasn't his strong suit. Kagome wasn't about to go stay with Sesshoumaru, but Inuyasha was making that sound tempting.

Noise. Someone was coming this way. Kagome pulled out her bow and strung an arrow.

"What are you aiming at, woman?" Sesshoumaru frowned at her.

She put away her bow. "Don't come out of nowhere like an enemy! It's not polite."

"Why aren't you with the mutt?"

"I -.."

Rin blinked at Kagome from behind a tree. "Big sister Kagome?"

Kagome smiled at Rin. "Are you ok, Rin?"

Rin ran out and cling to Kagome. "Rin was afraid the bad man would hurt Big sister Kagome!"

"BadInuyasha? The man that attacked Sesshoumaru?"

Rin nodded. "The one with the funny ears!"

"He's my friend."

"He tried to hurt Sesshoumaru-sama, he's bad!"

Kagome sighed. "Sesshoumaru tried to hurt him first. A long time ago. They're brothers, but they don't get along at all really."

"Where is the stupid hanyou?" Sesshoumaru asked his question again.

"I don't know. I'm going home."

"You live in the middle of the woods." Sesshoumaru said dryly. It was the most, non-violent emotion Kagome had seen from him ever.

"Through the well." She turned her attention to Rin again. "But it's just an ordinary well to anyone else, so don't jump in and get hurt ok?"

Rin nodded, as if she was being told some great secret.

Sesshoumaru frowned. "You live underground?" Weird humans that live underground that wear skimpy clothing.

"No, magic takes me back to my time."

"Rin wants to go with big sister Kagome!" Rin danced to Sesshoumaru. "Please, please?"

"We should like to see the different time." Sesshoumaru stated.

Kagome had a bad feeling about this.
