Hi everyone, Hoseki-chan here. I got into another writing enthusiasm type thing and was inspired to write again, oh and to all you morons who keep saying, if only to yourselves, that I've placing InuYasha outa character, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY!!! I am a developing writer who loves writing romances even if the characters are not themselves in the story.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own InuYasha, but I do own an InuYasha plushie.

Ohhhhh, It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real, I like the way that feels.
Ohhhhh, It's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself, I love how you can tell, All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me. All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me.

Chapter 9

InuYasha jumped up, ears fully alert listening for anymore sounds. He soon heard exactly what he had been listening for, a slight rustling of leaves told him someone was there. He got up and walked out into the nearby woods totally silent. "InuYasha, what's wrong?" "Shh, I heard something." He snuck through the woods eyes and ears alert to the tiniest movement. As he made his way back to the clearing from the back, he noticed a small set of prints to small for Kagome or himself to make. He followed them and saw that they lead back to the village in the direction of Keade's hut. "Shippo, I'll kill you if it was you sneaking around like that." InuYasha made his way back to Kagome being careful not to make any noise incase who ever had been spying on them was still around. He crept silently into the clearing behind Kagome, he was tempted to try and scare her but he thought that that would be a little to mean, so he walked to her and touched her shoulder saying, "Don't worry it's just me. I saw some tracks though, Shippo sized tracks, that lead back to Keade's hut." "So Shippo was spying on us, probably for Miroku and Sango no doubt." "Yeah, the nosy bastards." "Now calm down InuYasha it's fine, all they would have seen was us cuddling and whispering to each other. And why should we keep us a secret at any rate?" "I dunno, I guess I just didn't want the monk to know cause he'll just keep pestering me about what's happening between us. But this might be good, him knowing that is. If he knows he won't even be tempted to hit on you knowing that you and I are together. This works, now the only one I have to worry about is that damn wolf." Kagome looked at him and smiled, she pulled him back down next to her and wrap her arms around him kissing this lips. "Don't worry about Koga when he comes around me, everything he says goes in one ear and out the other because I don't care what he says. I love you and he can't change that." InuYasha looked at Kagome with an expression half of surprise and half of delight. Kagome was so unlike Kikyo, she never would have kissed InuYasha first, and he liked that Kagome would. He smiled at her and kissed her back, pulling her closer to him so that there was no space between them. He cradled her in his arms and kissed her neck, he loved having her in his arms. "We should probably try and get some sleep now, since we are leaving tomorrow, again." InuYasha chuckled at Kagome's "enthusiasm" for they're new mission. "You're probably right." He laid down taking Kagome with him, and cuddled against her, keeping her safe in his arms. She smiled at him and gave him one last kiss before closing her eyes and going to sleep. InuYasha just stared at her brushing her hair out of her face, he kissed her forehead and finally laid his head against hers closing his eyes and falling asleep. The next morning they woke up still in each others arms, they got up, stretched, and cleaned up their bed. They walked back to Keade's hand in hand much to the surprise of Sango and Miroku who were outside preparing to leave. "What's for breakfast Sango?" "Uh...um... ask Kaede, she's making breakfast." "What are the staring at wench?" "Stop calling her that InuYasha, she didn't do anything." "Feh, whatever your just defending her because you mumm mummm mum." Kagome had placed her hand over InuYasha's mouth and looked really annoyed. "Behave or I'll say the word." "Ok, Ok, I'll stop." They walked into the hut still hand in hand. "Lady Kaede, what are we having for breakfast." "I see you finally came out of hiding, have ye seen InuYasha?" "Yeah, I'm right here old lady, now answer Kagome's question." Kaede turned to face InuYasha and her mouth drop open slightly, but she soon regained composer. "We are having some fish that the towns people brought us." "Ok, do you need any help Lady Kaede?" "No, I think I got it. You go get ready for your trip." "Ok old lady, but make it quick with breakfast, I'm starving." And with that InuYasha and Kagome left the hut and walked outside to get ready. "I hope Kagome knows what she's doing, if any of their enemies find out, they will use it against InuYasha and Kagome." Outside Miroku continued to try and get Sango to warm up to him some, but it wasn't going well. InuYasha just stared at them and laughed while Kagome packed up a bag with some of the things she had left there at Keade's hut. "Now I think that's everything, InuYasha is there anything you want me to bring?" "Besides you, and your bow and arrow? No, nothing. And don't bother with that bike of yours I can carry you on my back." "Ok, that's fine." The group sat down after Kaede had called them and ate breakfast, they then set out on their trip.
