Chapter 10: The Newest Member, Kagome's Sprained Ankle, and Beyond The Forest
Miroku, Shippo, and Sango stepped out of the bushes, knowing that their two friends are alright. Inuyasha and Kagome parted, and he hugged her tightly. Everybody seemed so happy. The walked up to Inuyasha and Kagome and Sango said "We were looking for you two all day!" They looked at the others and sighed. "So...now what?" Shippo said. "Let's go home and eat..." Miroku finally spoke up. Kagome pulled away from Inuyasha and walked up to Miroku. She looked up at him and more tears fell down her eyes. "M-Miroku? I am sorry...please forgive me..." Then she looked down and tears fell to the ground. Miroku reached his hand out and grabbed her chin so that she could look at him. "I forgive you." he said and smiled. She smiled back and said "Thank you." Then Miroku walked over to Sango and held onto her hands and said "My beautiful love, will you forgive my rudeness from the incident that happened earlier?" "Yes Miroku, I do." Then Miroku pulled her into a tight embrace. After a few moments, he let go. He put one arm around both Kagome and Sango. "Come on ladies, let's go home and eat!" Then his hands ACCIDENTALLY fell down on their butts and he squeezed them. "HENTAI!!!" they both screamed and slapped his face and knocked him upside the head many times. Kagome looked over at Inuyasha and watched him carefully then smiled. He smiled back and then everyone started to walk home together.

Everybody was stunned at the sight they saw when they approached the house. "Oh no!!!" Kagome said. Inuyasha ran up to the mess. Something ate all the meat that they bagged. He looked up at everyone and shook his head. "Wait Inuyasha, I remember, you brought in two bags before...you layed them down on the table." Kagome said. Inuyasha's ears perked and he said "Your right Kagome, good thing you can remember stuff like that..." Then he stood back up and kissed Kagome then jumped up on the porch and went inside. Then Kagome, Shippo, Sango, and Miroku climbed up the ladder and went inside. Sango and Shippo sat down on the couch, Miroku lit a fire, and Kagome and Inuyasha prepared the rest of the dinner. Kagome set the table. Inuyasha cooked the meat. "Wow Kagome, you set a beautiful table..." Inuyasha said. Kagome smiled and said "Arigato Inuyasha." She lit the two candles in the center. She pulled out Sango's beverage and filled all the glasses up. Everybody came into the kitchen and sat down. "Wow! I have never seen a fancy table like this before!" Shippo squealed. Kagome smiled proudly and sat down. Inuyasha served the meat. "Who wants to try some of my Macaroni and Cheese?" Kagome said. Everyone said "We do." Kagome passed the bowl around the table. They all dug into their food greedily. Kagome took a sip of Sango's beverage and little hearts grew in her eyes. "What is this delicious drink Sango?" Kagome said then took another sip of it. "Well, I mixed some apple juice, white grape juice, and mango juice all in one and added a pinch of sugar, and it's perfect!" Sango said then smiled with pride. Then everybody ate the rest of the meat and Mac and Cheese until it was gone. "I hope everyone left room in their stomachs for my dessert!" Shippo said and jumped off the chair and grabbed his dessert. He pulled the foil off of it and started cutting it into pieces. "It looks like a regular pie to me..." Kagome said. "I agree with Kagome, what makes this one different Shippo?" Inuyasha added. Shippo gave everyone a piece. They all took a bite and grew hearts in their eyes. "Wow, I never knew an eight year old could cook this good!" Miroku said happily. "It is my famous blue and red berry pie with a cinnamon and sugar crust...and to top it off, I added whipped cream to it!" Then it was Shippo's turn to smile with pride. "I haven't made it in so long, I wasn't really sure if it would turn out right, but it is perfect!"
Everybody finished the pie and sighed, relieved. Sango and Kagome washed the dishes while Inuyasha chased Shippo around and Miroku watched them boringly and kinda chuckled. Kagome and Sango came out of the kitchen after they were done and sat on the couch and sighed. Shippo ran to Kagome and jumped up in her lap and said "Help, Inuyasha is attacking me!" Kagome held him in her lap as Inuyasha approached them. "Inuyasha..." she said and raising one eyebrow. He just rolled his eyes and sat in front of the fire. Kagome set Shippo down and stood up. She walked over to Inuyasha and sat down next to him. He looked down at her for a moment then looked back at the fire. She picked up a blanket from the chair and wrapped it around her and Inuyasha. She snuggled up next to him, lied her head on his shoulder, and closed her eyes. He wrapped his arm around her and lied his head on hers.
Miroku stood up and said "I am going out, I will be back soon." "But Miroku, it's getting late..." Sango said. "I will be back soon love..." Then he left. Sango just sighed and slouched down on the couch. Shippo brought his pillow and blanket from upstairs and set them down on the couch. Sango helped him get tucked in, then he silently fell asleep. Sango lied against the opposite arm of the couch and closed her eyes.
Inuyasha rubbed Kagome's back and continued to watch the fire. The light reflected from his beautiful amber eyes. Kagome moaned softly and sighed. Inuyasha stroked her cheek gently with his other hand and kissed her forehead. Kagome looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back at her. "Inuyasha?" "Hm." "Will you promise that what happened earlier, will never happen again?" "I promise..." She smiled and kissed him. He kissed her back. They looked deeply into each others eyes then slowly looked back at the fire.
Miroku was gone for a long time. Then Sango perked up when she heard the door open. Miroku came in and was carrying a box that was wrapped up with a bow. Sango raised one eyebrow and wondered what was inside the box, and who was it for? Miroku shut the door. Inuyasha and Kagome turned around and looked up at him. Shippo woke up and yawned. Miroku smiled as he saw Sango's face. Sango smiled back. He walked over to her and sat down before her. He held out the box to her and said "Here love, I figured that an apology wasn't good enough for what I did to you earlier." Sango looked shocked. "Miroku...you didn't have too..." He handed her the wrapped box. She felt the box move. She untied the bow carefully. She pulled off the top of the box and her eyes became super glossy. She pulled out the cutest kitty. It had two tails and pretty eyes. Sango squealed "IT'S SOOOOOOO CUTE MIROKU!!!!" She jumped up and hugged him as tight as she could. She set the little kitten back in the box and jumped back up at Miroku and kissed him. He closed his eyes and pulled her closer. Kagome and Inuyasha watched them carefully and smirked. Miroku and Sango parted and Sango hugged him again. "You know what to do to make me feel better, huh?" she said and smiled. "Just to make you feel better love..." He smiled back at her. "So what are you going to name her?" Kagome asked. Sango picked the kitty back up and said "Hm...I haven't thought of that..." It was quiet for a while then Sango said "I will name her Kirara!" (A/N: The name 'Kirara' is actually pronounced 'Kilala' if some of you didn't know that ^-^) "What a cute name!" Kagome said and ran up next to Sango and sat down. They both played with Kirara and totally ignored their boyfriends. Shippo crawled back up onto the couch after falling of the it and sat in Kagome's lap and said "Now I have a friend to play with!" He smiled widely. Kagome smiled back and said "Yup!" Then they continued to play with Kirara. Inuyasha and Miroku watched Sango and Kagome play with Kirara. Inuyasha sighed and looked back at the fire. Miroku sat in the chair and stared into the fire as well.
The grandfather clock started to chime. It was 11:00. Shippo had already fallen asleep on the couch and Kagome and Sango were petting Kirara. "I think it is time to go to bed..." Kagome said and stood up and stretched. "I guess your right..." Sango said while yawning. Sango sat Kirara on the floor and stood up. Kirara meowed and rubbed against Sango's legs. "Awww..." Sango said and picked her up again and hugged her tightly. Kagome walked over to Inuyasha, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, and tugged on his sleeve. He opened up his eyes and looked down at her. She smiled and said "It's time to go to sleep now, if you want..." "Ok." He took her hand and they went upstairs. Sango walked over and tapped Miroku's shoulder. He looked up at her and yawned. "Let's go to bed now..." He nodded and stood up and shut the lights out and started upstairs. "Miroku! Where are you!?" Sango whispered fiercely. She ran upstairs and bumped into him. He turned around slowly and smiled at her. He took her hand and helped her upstairs. They reached her room and went inside. Sango set Kirara down on her bed and sighed. Miroku was leaving and said "Goodnight Sango..." "Goodnight Miroku..." Sango said and walked up to him and kissed him passionately. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her back. "Goodnight love." he said and left and closed her door behind him. Sango smiled then got changed into her pajamas and lied down and went to sleep. Miroku did the same and fell asleep and started snoring loudly. (A/N: Tee~Hee, sorry, I just had to put that! hahaha ^-^).
Kagome and Inuyasha sat in his room quietly. Kagome got dressed while Inuyasha was looking outside. He took his shirt and haori off and lied them down on the floor next to his bed and looked up at the ceiling. Kagome looked in his mirror while she brushed her hair. He looked up and watched her brush her long silky hair. She looked at him in the mirror and smiled. He smiled back then stared back up at the ceiling. She tossed her brush down on her bag and walked over to Inuyasha. He looked up at her and his ears twitched as he shifted his eyes from her face. She looked down at him and noticed that he was eyeing her. "Inuyasha, what are you doing?!" she said playfully. He looked back up at her quickly and blinked and twitched his ears again. He sat up, still looking at her. She hopped up onto the bed and sat behind him. She wrapped her arms and legs around him and hugged him tightly. Then she reached up one arm and started rubbing his ears. He made a purring sound, though he denied it. She giggled and lied against his back and rubbed it gently. His purring grew louder and he closed his eyes and slightly leaned forward. She played with his hair then rested herself against his warm body again. His silky hair tickled her nose. She rubbed her hands up and down his chest. He turned around and looked down at her. She stared up at him shyly. He smirked. "Are you nervous? Scared of me?" he said with a cocky tone in his voice, and still with the smirk on his face. "N-no.." she stuttered. 'What is wrong with me! Why am I stuttering like this...?' she thought. He stared deeply into her bluish, brownish orbs. She started to sweat a little and her eyes shifted to her cot. "What's wrong?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome looked back up at him quickly. He picked up her hands in his. Her hands started feeling tingly. Then she pulled away and got off the bed. "Kagome?" Inuyasha asked totally confused. "I-I need a glass a water, I-I will be right back!" she said 'her excuse' quickly and left in a blink of an eye. Inuyasha was beyond confused.
Kagome ran down the stairs and grabbed a glass and filled it all the way up and chugged it down quickly. When she was finished, she wiped her mouth and thought "Why do I feel like this?" She filled her glass up again and drank it slowly. She wiped her sweat from her forehead away and sighed. "What's happening to me?" she thought again. Then she seen Inuyasha standing at the top of the stairs, staring down at her. She gulped and set her glass in the sink. She walked up to him slowly. He held out his hand and she took it. He helped her up the rest of the way and they went back into his room and shut the door. Inuyasha sat her down then sat in front of her. "Kagome, what's wrong?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome looked away. "Kagome?" Inuyasha asked again. He grabbed her waist and pulled her closer so that she was face to face with him. She gulped again and started sweating. "Kagome, why are you sweating?" "It's nothing, it's just a little warm in here..." she said without making eye contact with him. "Why didn't you say so hunny." he said. He stood up and slightly opened the window. A breeze blew in and cooled down Kagome. "Is that better?" he asked. Kagome nodded. Then he walked back over to her and sat down beside her. He lied down and rested his head on the fluffy pillow. Kagome yawned. "You are tired hunny, you need to get some sleep..." Inuyasha said and sat up again. He grabbed her waist a pulled her down with him. She turned red and started sweating again. "Oh, come on Kagome, relax." She lied down on his warm chest and tried to relax herself as much as possible. "See Kagome, it's alright..." Inuyasha said gently stroking her cheek. Kagome looked up at him and smiled nervously. "What has gotten into you Kagome?" he asked confused. Kagome moved up and kissed his lips gently. "Kagome?" he said against her mouth. She moved her hands slowly up his chest and around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer. The breeze blew a little more through the window, cooling the whole room. Kagome moaned against his lips and deepened it. The wind blew her short nightgown and hair. Inuyasha sat up and kissed her again. She sat in his lap with her arms around him. Inuyasha pulled back and looked into her eyes. "What do you want Kagome?" Then his eyes widened. Kagome moved out of his lap and crossed her arms. "Kagome...I-" he stopped and crawled up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist once more. He kissed her neck and collar bone. She shivered, it was cool in the room, but it felt hot as well. She pulled away and stood up and shut the window. "Kagome, just make up your mind..." She grabbed her pillow and blanket and left. Inuyasha sat there feeling a idiot. Kagome ran down the stairs. She turned the corner and slipped on the floor and fell. She yelped a little. "My ankle..." She touched it and squinted her eyes in pain. The floor was extra slippery somehow. Shippo was in too deep of a sleep to be awakened. Kagome lied on the floor in pain. It brought tears to her eyes.
Inuyasha heard her yelp and stood up quickly. He ran downstairs and stopped in front of Kagome. He bent down near her and touched her shoulder, eyes wide, and said "Kagome, are you ok!?" "My ankle...it...hurts." Tears recklessly fell down her cheeks. Inuyasha picked her up bridal style and carried her back up to his room. He lied her down on his bed. "I will be right back..." He left the room.
Kagome waited a few minutes, lying on Inuyasha's soft, comfy bed in pain. 'If I wasn't so nervous and scared, this would've never happened!' she cursed herself inside her mind. Tears continued to stream down her face as the sharp pain increased. Inuyasha returned. He sat down next to her and handed her an icepack. "Thank you..." she said and gently placed it over her ankle. She shut her eyes tightly in pain. "Kagome..." he stroked her cheek with his forehand and kissed her forehead. He lifted her up and sat down and sat her in his lap and hugged her tightly. "Inuyasha, I'm sorry." Kagome said quickly. Inuyasha's ears perked up and he said "Huh, what are you talking about?" He turned her so that she would face him. She pounced up and hugged him tightly. She buried her face in his chest and sniffled. Inuyasha shifted his eyes down towards her and put his arm around her. Kagome sighed and felt another surge of pain through her ankle. She clenched her teeth and wiped her face. She whimpered softly. "Shhhhh..." Inuyasha said and held her closer.
Miroku heard something and woke up suddenly. He got up out of a bed and opened his door quietly. He walked over to Inuyasha's room and put his ear up to the door. He heard soft whimpering and moaning. He raised one eyebrow wondering what was going on. While he was leaning against the door it opened up and he fell to the ground. Kagome and Inuyasha looked up at him with shocked faces. He shielded his eyes while he stood up. "What's up with you Miroku?" Inuyasha said. Miroku put down his arms and stared at them with a totally clueless face. "I-I will just leave now..." And after that he left and shut the door quietly behind him.
Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. "I am tired Inuyasha..." Kagome said sleepily. "Ok..." he said and looked down at her, but she already fell asleep next to him. He kissed her forehead and turned off the light and lied down. Kagome was asleep on Inuyasha the whole night.

"Meow!" Sango opened her eyes and seen Kirara sitting on her chest meowing at her. "Aw..." Sango said and started petting her. Kirara purred and meowed again. "I can't believe it is morning already..." Sango said looking out her window at the blue morning sky. She opened the window and a slight breeze entered her room. "It's such a beautiful day..." she said and looked back over at Kirara. She opened the door and Kirara ran outside the door and up to Miroku's door. She pawed at it and Sango opened it quietly. Kirara ran in quietly and stopped at his bed. Sango entered and smiled seeing how cute her boyfriend was when he was sleeping. "But he won't be for long..." Sango whispered then smirked. She crawled up on the end of the bed and crawled towards Miroku. She smiled then gently crawled up onto him and sat on his chest. He didn't move or anything. "He is a really deep sleeper." Sango whispered to herself. She leaned down and kissed his lips. He opened his eyes and they widened the size of Jupiter. "S-Sango?" he said against her lips. She pulled back and looked down at him and smiled. "Why Sango...that's a really cute nightgown." he said lifting the back of it so that her underwear was showing. "YOU HENTAI!!" she screamed and slapped him. Kirara growled.
Kagome sat up quickly. She looked over at Inuyasha, who was still sleeping. "How can he sleep through that, he's the one with the keen sense of hearing..." she said softly to herself. She pulled the covers up over her head and moved closer to Inuyasha. She cuddled up next to him. She sighed and rubbed her face in his chest. He flickered his eyes open and looked down and saw black strands of hair sticking out from underneath the blanket. He pulled down the covers and seen Kagome cuddling up to him. He wrapped an arm around her and lightly kissed her forehead. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up at him with curiosity. He smiled down at her. She smiled back then shut her eyes tightly. "What's wrong Kagome!?" "It's...my ankle..." "Oh yeah, I forgot about that...don't worry, I will take care of you." "Thank you." "Do you need anything?" "A glass of water would be nice." Kagome smiled. "Alright love, hang on." He left the room and ran downstairs. Kagome looked at her ankle. It was swelled up and bruised. Another surge of pain went through her whole legs and she gripped the side of the bed in pain.
Sango sat on the chair across Miroku's room and watched him. Kirara sat in front of her and protected her. Miroku just continued to sit on his bed and look at his ceiling. Kirara growled again as Miroku shifted on his bed and looked out the window. "Kirara..." The little kitty looked up at Sango and meowed. "Come here Kirara." Sango said. Kirara jumped up on her lap and curled up into a little ball and closed her eyes.
Inuyasha returned to the room with a glass of ice water. "Here." he said and handed her the glass. She took a sip and then looked up at him. "What?" he said with an annoyed tone in his voice. "Do you have to watch me, all I am doing is drinking water." Inuyasha's expression softened and he said "I am watching you because I care about you, and I wanna help." "I am going to get dressed." Inuyasha just stood there. "Get out Inuyasha!" She shoed him out and started to get dressed slowly. "Well now I know how hard it is to get dressed when your ankle hurts like hell..." Kagome said to herself, struggling to get dressed. After about ten minutes, she finally finished getting dressed. "You can come in now." she called out and lied back down on the bed. Inuyasha came back in and was surprised she could do that herself. "How did you-" He was cut off because Kagome knew what he was going to say. She said "I had to hop on one foot, it wasn't fun, it hurt..."
Shippo woke up and yawned. He looked outside. "Wow, it's a beautiful morning!" he said and stretched. "I wonder if Kagome and Inuyasha are up yet..." Shippo jumped off the couch and started climbing the stairs.
"Poor you..." Inuyasha said and sat down next to her. Kagome sighed and stared out the window. "Do you wanna go outside?" he asked. "Does it look like I can walk!?" she hissed at him. His eyes widened and he said "No...I was going to take you out myself." He slightly smiled. She looked over at him and smiled then said "Really?" "Yeah." "Ok." Inuyasha picked her up bridal style and walked out the door.
Shippo looked up at them as he came out of the room. "Why are you carrying Kagome, she can walk by herself!" Shippo said glaring at Inuyasha. "No she can't munchkin. She hurt her ankle." Shippo nodded dumbly. Kagome smiled down at him and his expression brightened up. Inuyasha carried Kagome downstairs and Shippo ran to keep up. "Where are two going?" Shippo questioned. They both looked down at him and Inuyasha said "Leave us alone Shippo, we are going out, by ourselves." Shippo stopped and glared at Inuyasha. "What do you mean by yourselves?" he questioned again. "Shippo?" Shippo looked up at Kagome. "You can come later, me and Inuyasha are just going through the forest, we will come back later for you, ok?" Shippo smiled and said "Ok." He ran towards the stairs and scrambled back up them. Kagome looked back up at Inuyasha and smiled. "How did you do that?" he asked. "I am just gifted." Kagome smirked and Inuyasha rolled his eyes and carried her outside.
Kirara woke up and hissed as Miroku sat up and looked over towards her and Sango. Sango set Kirara down and left the room. Kirara ran after her. Sango went into her room followed by Kirara and she shut the door and got dressed. While Sango was getting dressed, Miroku was too. Then he opened his door and went downstairs and sat on the couch. Sango opened her after she was done and Kirara ran out and down the stairs. Sango followed. Kirara jumped up on the couch and curled up and fell asleep. Sango sat down next to Miroku and sighed. Miroku glanced over at her a few times until she caught him. He looked the other way quietly and sighed. Sango watched Kirara sleep and kept a close eye on Miroku.
Inuyasha carried Kagome through the woods. Kagome rested her head against his arm and listened to the birds. Inuyasha looked down at her. She looked back up at him and smiled. He kissed her forehead gently and smiled as he pulled back. Kagome smiled again and snuggled up to his arm and shut her eyes. Then Inuyasha started running and jumped into the air, holding onto Kagome tightly. She slightly opened her eyes and felt the wind rush past her. Inuyasha landed then looked down at Kagome to make sure she was ok. "You alright hunny?" Kagome nodded. Inuyasha walked through a few bushes. "Inuyasha, where exactly are we going?" Kagome asked a few minutes. "Nowhere, no place exactly." "Oh." Kagome looked down at the ground. Inuyasha looked down at Kagome. She looked so...bored. She sighed and looked back down at the ground and watched Inuyasha's feet move back and forth as he walked. "Kagome, are you bored?" Kagome snapped her head up quickly and said "No!" Inuyasha continued to walk on the path leading to nowhere in particular.
"Miroku?" Miroku looked up and smiled then said "Yes love?" "Are you bored?" "Kinda..." Miroku yawned and looked back outside. Sango looked at the floor then back up at Miroku. It was silent for a minute, then she said "Miroku?" He looked back at her and said "Yes." "Miroku, kiss me." Miroku's eyes widened. Sango looked down at the couch and blushed. "I-Me...Uh...Um." Miroku stuttered. He shifted over to Sango and held her hands. She looked up at him. They both closed their eyes and moved closer until their lips met. Miroku's arms encircled her waist, pulling her closer. Sango slowly moved her arms around his neck.
Inuyasha stopped and Kagome looked up at him. "What is it." They were up on a hill after leaving the forest. "Look." Kagome looked up. "A village." The hill rolled down to a quiet meadow which led to a small old-fashioned village. "Inuyasha, this is neat, I have never been out of the forest, except for the clearing with that Cherry Blossom Tree..." Kagome kinda blushed of thought of what happened there. "Wanna go check it out?" Inuyasha asked. "Ok...I guess..." Inuyasha started to walk down the hill with long grass.
Shippo came out of Kagome and Inuyasha's room after a having a fun time jumping on their bed. He stumbled down the stairs. He stood up and seen Sango and Miroku making out. "EWWWW!!!!!!!" he said with a disgusted look on his face. Sango and Miroku looked up quickly and seen Shippo watched them. They blushed brightly and looked at Shippo with an annoyed face. (A/N: This is how their eyes kinda looked like: T_T ok...on with the story...). Shippo backed away and fell in front of the stairs. Sango stood up and looked down at Miroku and nodded. He nodded back and stood up. They both walked towards Shippo with evil looks on their faces.
Kagome and Inuyasha entered the village. They were surprised that it was packed for how little it looked from the hill. There were people every which way you looked. But a lot of people looked at Kagome and Inuyasha like they were aliens. Inuyasha set Kagome down on a log bench thingy. Kagome heard people having a conversation nearby: "You don't supposed that young girl is that demon's mate, do you?" "A human girl and demon? Poppycock!" "It's possible." "Ye are being foolish." Then they looked up at Kagome and smiled. Kagome turned back around and looked at the ground. "Well, well, well, look everyone, my woman is here!" shouted a familiar voice from behind her. Koga walked up behind her and grabbed her waist. Kagome blinked then heard more people saying: "Koga is that girls mate!?" "Impossible!" More whispers were going on. Inuyasha turned around angrily and growled at what he seen. "Leave her alone!" Inuyasha yelled. Koga looked up. Kagome was helpless, she couldn't run away, she didn't wanna hurt her ankle more. But she had to do what she had to. She pushed Koga off her and ran over to Inuyasha and fell into his arms as pain surged through her leg. "Kagome, are you ok!?" Inuyasha asked her, his eyes wide. Koga snapped back to his senses and yelled "Kagome! Someone help, my woman is hurt!" Inuyasha growled and said "She is NOT your woman!" "Says who? She would never like you, just give it up!" Koga yelled back. "I never said she did! Leave her alone you Lone Wolf!" "Mutt!" "Flea bag!" Koga opened his mouth to say something then closed it again. A period of silence went past the whole village then Koga said "I am wasting my time with you, I already claimed Kagome as mine, so back off!" He ran up and pulled Kagome's arm. "I. said. leave. her. alone!" Inuyasha pulled Kagome's other arm. They pulled her back and forth until she screamed "STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!" They both let her go. She looked angrier then angry. She picked up a piece of wood from the ground and hit both boys upside their head as hard as she could. They both lied on the ground twitching. "HMPH!" Everybody looked at her then at the two boys twitching on the ground, then back at her. She was breathing hard then threw the piece of wood down on the ground. Inuyasha stood up with a large lump on his head and looked at Kagome angrily and made fists.
Sango and Miroku approached Shippo and he helplessly sat there. Then they pounced on him and he yelped. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! STOP IT! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Sango and Miroku were tickling Shippo. Tears came to his eyes and he continued laughing. They both stopped when they thought that that was enough punishment. Kirara woke up and ran over to them and meowed. She pounced on Shippo. "Hello Kirara." Shippo said and started petting her. Sango and Miroku stood up and sat back down on the couch and watched Shippo and Kirara play.
Koga stood up and looked around at the people staring at them. Koga glared at Kagome then walked away. Then pain surged through Kagome's leg again and she fell to the ground. "Kagome!" Inuyasha said and ran over to her. Kagome looked straight up into his eyes. Her eyes gathered tears and they started to silently fall down her cheek. She looked back down at the ground. Inuyasha picked her up again and looked at everybody. "Can anybody help her?" It was quiet, the people just continued to stare. "I will help." came a voice from the crowd. Everybody split up and looked at the person. It was an old woman with a little bird on her shoulder. "Follow me."
Inuyasha carried Kagome into a hut the old woman went into. "Lay her down here child." the old woman said and pointed to a straw bed with a blanket covering it. Inuyasha lied her down and sighed. Inuyasha sat in front of the fire the old woman made and waited for her to help Kagome. After a few moments, the old woman stepped out of the room and said. "She will be fine, she just needs a goodnight's sleep." Inuyasha nodded and the old woman sat down across from Inuyasha on the other side of the fire. "I think it's so sweet..." the old woman said cheerfully. "What." Inuyasha said with an annoyed tone. "Choosing her as yer mate, she is a sweetheart...ye have good taste." Inuyasha's ears perked up and his eyes widened. "Feh." he said and turned away to hide his blush. "Ha, so ye have child?" The old woman smirked. "No...I haven't done anything to her, she-" he stopped and looked back down at the floor. The old woman raised one eyebrow. The door from the other room opened and Kagome stumbled out. "Child, I told ye to rest." the old woman said. "I can't..." she replied. She and Inuyasha made eye contact. "Inuyasha?" "What." She walked over to him and sat down. She cuddled up in the blanket she brought with her and lied her head on his shoulder. "I don't wanna be alone..." She closed her eyes and sighed. Inuyasha wrapped his arm around her and lied his head on hers. He looked up to see the old woman smirked widely. He growled and she looked back at the fire. Kagome fell asleep and Inuyasha held her close. He leaned against the wall and lied her in his lap. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. The old woman watched them and sighed and put out the fire and went into her room to go to sleep.
(A/N: If I didn't type it down, they do eat during the day, but I am not going to put that much detail in, I type to much already, I don't want to add more...my friends pointed that out to me lol...And doesn't this woman kinda remind you of Kaede? ok, ok, back to the story)
"Where is Kagome and Inuyasha?" Shippo asked after he was done playing with Kirara. Sango and Miroku shrugged their shoulders. "You don't suppose anything has happened to them, do?" Sango said and looked at Miroku." "I'm not sure, but Inuyasha would protect Kagome, he would never let anything happen to her, I am sure they are fine. He is strong." Miroku said looking at the floor. Shippo yawned and curled up in his blanket and lied his head down on his pillow and fell asleep. Kirara jumped up on the couch and fell asleep next to Shippo. "Let's go to sleep." Sango said. Miroku nodded. They stood up and shut the light off and went upstairs. "Goodnight love." Miroku said and kissed Sango. Sango returned his kiss and said "Goodnight sweetheart." They both went into their rooms, got changed, and went to bed.

Chapter 10: The Newest Member, Kagome's Sprained Ankle, and Beyond The Forest
Miroku, Shippo, and Sango stepped out of the bushes, knowing that their two friends are alright. Inuyasha and Kagome parted, and he hugged her tightly. Everybody seemed so happy. The walked up to Inuyasha and Kagome and Sango said "We were looking for you two all day!" They looked at the others and sighed. "So...now what?" Shippo said. "Let's go home and eat..." Miroku finally spoke up. Kagome pulled away from Inuyasha and walked up to Miroku. She looked up at him and more tears fell down her eyes. "M-Miroku? I am sorry...please forgive me..." Then she looked down and tears fell to the ground. Miroku reached his hand out and grabbed her chin so that she could look at him. "I forgive you." he said and smiled. She smiled back and said "Thank you." Then Miroku walked over to Sango and held onto her hands and said "My beautiful love, will you forgive my rudeness from the incident that happened earlier?" "Yes Miroku, I do." Then Miroku pulled her into a tight embrace. After a few moments, he let go. He put one arm around both Kagome and Sango. "Come on ladies, let's go home and eat!" Then his hands ACCIDENTALLY fell down on their butts and he squeezed them. "HENTAI!!!" they both screamed and slapped his face and knocked him upside the head many times. Kagome looked over at Inuyasha and watched him carefully then smiled. He smiled back and then everyone started to walk home together.
****
Everybody was stunned at the sight they saw when they approached the house. "Oh no!!!" Kagome said. Inuyasha ran up to the mess. Something ate all the meat that they bagged. He looked up at everyone and shook his head. "Wait Inuyasha, I remember, you brought in two bags before...you layed them down on the table." Kagome said. Inuyasha's ears perked and he said "Your right Kagome, good thing you can remember stuff like that..." Then he stood back up and kissed Kagome then jumped up on the porch and went inside. Then Kagome, Shippo, Sango, and Miroku climbed up the ladder and went inside. Sango and Shippo sat down on the couch, Miroku lit a fire, and Kagome and Inuyasha prepared the rest of the dinner. Kagome set the table. Inuyasha cooked the meat. "Wow Kagome, you set a beautiful table..." Inuyasha said. Kagome smiled and said "Arigato Inuyasha." She lit the two candles in the center. She pulled out Sango's beverage and filled all the glasses up. Everybody came into the kitchen and sat down. "Wow! I have never seen a fancy table like this before!" Shippo squealed. Kagome smiled proudly and sat down. Inuyasha served the meat. "Who wants to try some of my Macaroni and Cheese?" Kagome said. Everyone said "We do." Kagome passed the bowl around the table. They all dug into their food greedily. Kagome took a sip of Sango's beverage and little hearts grew in her eyes. "What is this delicious drink Sango?" Kagome said then took another sip of it. "Well, I mixed some apple juice, white grape juice, and mango juice all in one and added a pinch of sugar, and it's perfect!" Sango said then smiled with pride. Then everybody ate the rest of the meat and Mac and Cheese until it was gone. "I hope everyone left room in their stomachs for my dessert!" Shippo said and jumped off the chair and grabbed his dessert. He pulled the foil off of it and started cutting it into pieces. "It looks like a regular pie to me..." Kagome said. "I agree with Kagome, what makes this one different Shippo?" Inuyasha added. Shippo gave everyone a piece. They all took a bite and grew hearts in their eyes. "Wow, I never knew an eight year old could cook this good!" Miroku said happily. "It is my famous blue and red berry pie with a cinnamon and sugar crust...and to top it off, I added whipped cream to it!" Then it was Shippo's turn to smile with pride. "I haven't made it in so long, I wasn't really sure if it would turn out right, but it is perfect!"
Everybody finished the pie and sighed, relieved. Sango and Kagome washed the dishes while Inuyasha chased Shippo around and Miroku watched them boringly and kinda chuckled. Kagome and Sango came out of the kitchen after they were done and sat on the couch and sighed. Shippo ran to Kagome and jumped up in her lap and said "Help, Inuyasha is attacking me!" Kagome held him in her lap as Inuyasha approached them. "Inuyasha..." she said and raising one eyebrow. He just rolled his eyes and sat in front of the fire. Kagome set Shippo down and stood up. She walked over to Inuyasha and sat down next to him. He looked down at her for a moment then looked back at the fire. She picked up a blanket from the chair and wrapped it around her and Inuyasha. She snuggled up next to him, lied her head on his shoulder, and closed her eyes. He wrapped his arm around her and lied his head on hers.
Miroku stood up and said "I am going out, I will be back soon." "But Miroku, it's getting late..." Sango said. "I will be back soon love..." Then he left. Sango just sighed and slouched down on the couch. Shippo brought his pillow and blanket from upstairs and set them down on the couch. Sango helped him get tucked in, then he silently fell asleep. Sango lied against the opposite arm of the couch and closed her eyes.
Inuyasha rubbed Kagome's back and continued to watch the fire. The light reflected from his beautiful amber eyes. Kagome moaned softly and sighed. Inuyasha stroked her cheek gently with his other hand and kissed her forehead. Kagome looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back at her. "Inuyasha?" "Hm." "Will you promise that what happened earlier, will never happen again?" "I promise..." She smiled and kissed him. He kissed her back. They looked deeply into each others eyes then slowly looked back at the fire.
Miroku was gone for a long time. Then Sango perked up when she heard the door open. Miroku came in and was carrying a box that was wrapped up with a bow. Sango raised one eyebrow and wondered what was inside the box, and who was it for? Miroku shut the door. Inuyasha and Kagome turned around and looked up at him. Shippo woke up and yawned. Miroku smiled as he saw Sango's face. Sango smiled back. He walked over to her and sat down before her. He held out the box to her and said "Here love, I figured that an apology wasn't good enough for what I did to you earlier." Sango looked shocked. "Miroku...you didn't have too..." He handed her the wrapped box. She felt the box move. She untied the bow carefully. She pulled off the top of the box and her eyes became super glossy. She pulled out the cutest kitty. It had two tails and pretty eyes. Sango squealed "IT'S SOOOOOOO CUTE MIROKU!!!!" She jumped up and hugged him as tight as she could. She set the little kitten back in the box and jumped back up at Miroku and kissed him. He closed his eyes and pulled her closer. Kagome and Inuyasha watched them carefully and smirked. Miroku and Sango parted and Sango hugged him again. "You know what to do to make me feel better, huh?" she said and smiled. "Just to make you feel better love..." He smiled back at her. "So what are you going to name her?" Kagome asked. Sango picked the kitty back up and said "Hm...I haven't thought of that..." It was quiet for a while then Sango said "I will name her Kirara!" (A/N: The name 'Kirara' is actually pronounced 'Kilala' if some of you didn't know that ^-^) "What a cute name!" Kagome said and ran up next to Sango and sat down. They both played with Kirara and totally ignored their boyfriends. Shippo crawled back up onto the couch after falling of the it and sat in Kagome's lap and said "Now I have a friend to play with!" He smiled widely. Kagome smiled back and said "Yup!" Then they continued to play with Kirara. Inuyasha and Miroku watched Sango and Kagome play with Kirara. Inuyasha sighed and looked back at the fire. Miroku sat in the chair and stared into the fire as well.
The grandfather clock started to chime. It was 11:00. Shippo had already fallen asleep on the couch and Kagome and Sango were petting Kirara. "I think it is time to go to bed..." Kagome said and stood up and stretched. "I guess your right..." Sango said while yawning. Sango sat Kirara on the floor and stood up. Kirara meowed and rubbed against Sango's legs. "Awww..." Sango said and picked her up again and hugged her tightly. Kagome walked over to Inuyasha, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, and tugged on his sleeve. He opened up his eyes and looked down at her. She smiled and said "It's time to go to sleep now, if you want..." "Ok." He took her hand and they went upstairs. Sango walked over and tapped Miroku's shoulder. He looked up at her and yawned. "Let's go to bed now..." He nodded and stood up and shut the lights out and started upstairs. "Miroku! Where are you!?" Sango whispered fiercely. She ran upstairs and bumped into him. He turned around slowly and smiled at her. He took her hand and helped her upstairs. They reached her room and went inside. Sango set Kirara down on her bed and sighed. Miroku was leaving and said "Goodnight Sango..." "Goodnight Miroku..." Sango said and walked up to him and kissed him passionately. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her back. "Goodnight love." he said and left and closed her door behind him. Sango smiled then got changed into her pajamas and lied down and went to sleep. Miroku did the same and fell asleep and started snoring loudly. (A/N: Tee~Hee, sorry, I just had to put that! hahaha ^-^).
Kagome and Inuyasha sat in his room quietly. Kagome got dressed while Inuyasha was looking outside. He took his shirt and haori off and lied them down on the floor next to his bed and looked up at the ceiling. Kagome looked in his mirror while she brushed her hair. He looked up and watched her brush her long silky hair. She looked at him in the mirror and smiled. He smiled back then stared back up at the ceiling. She tossed her brush down on her bag and walked over to Inuyasha. He looked up at her and his ears twitched as he shifted his eyes from her face. She looked down at him and noticed that he was eyeing her. "Inuyasha, what are you doing?!" she said playfully. He looked back up at her quickly and blinked and twitched his ears again. He sat up, still looking at her. She hopped up onto the bed and sat behind him. She wrapped her arms and legs around him and hugged him tightly. Then she reached up one arm and started rubbing his ears. He made a purring sound, though he denied it. She giggled and lied against his back and rubbed it gently. His purring grew louder and he closed his eyes and slightly leaned forward. She played with his hair then rested herself against his warm body again. His silky hair tickled her nose. She rubbed her hands up and down his chest. He turned around and looked down at her. She stared up at him shyly. He smirked. "Are you nervous? Scared of me?" he said with a cocky tone in his voice, and still with the smirk on his face. "N-no.." she stuttered. 'What is wrong with me! Why am I stuttering like this...?' she thought. He stared deeply into her bluish, brownish orbs. She started to sweat a little and her eyes shifted to her cot. "What's wrong?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome looked back up at him quickly. He picked up her hands in his. Her hands started feeling tingly. Then she pulled away and got off the bed. "Kagome?" Inuyasha asked totally confused. "I-I need a glass a water, I-I will be right back!" she said 'her excuse' quickly and left in a blink of an eye. Inuyasha was beyond confused.
Kagome ran down the stairs and grabbed a glass and filled it all the way up and chugged it down quickly. When she was finished, she wiped her mouth and thought "Why do I feel like this?" She filled her glass up again and drank it slowly. She wiped her sweat from her forehead away and sighed. "What's happening to me?" she thought again. Then she seen Inuyasha standing at the top of the stairs, staring down at her. She gulped and set her glass in the sink. She walked up to him slowly. He held out his hand and she took it. He helped her up the rest of the way and they went back into his room and shut the door. Inuyasha sat her down then sat in front of her. "Kagome, what's wrong?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome looked away. "Kagome?" Inuyasha asked again. He grabbed her waist and pulled her closer so that she was face to face with him. She gulped again and started sweating. "Kagome, why are you sweating?" "It's nothing, it's just a little warm in here..." she said without making eye contact with him. "Why didn't you say so hunny." he said. He stood up and slightly opened the window. A breeze blew in and cooled down Kagome. "Is that better?" he asked. Kagome nodded. Then he walked back over to her and sat down beside her. He lied down and rested his head on the fluffy pillow. Kagome yawned. "You are tired hunny, you need to get some sleep..." Inuyasha said and sat up again. He grabbed her waist a pulled her down with him. She turned red and started sweating again. "Oh, come on Kagome, relax." She lied down on his warm chest and tried to relax herself as much as possible. "See Kagome, it's alright..." Inuyasha said gently stroking her cheek. Kagome looked up at him and smiled nervously. "What has gotten into you Kagome?" he asked confused. Kagome moved up and kissed his lips gently. "Kagome?" he said against her mouth. She moved her hands slowly up his chest and around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer. The breeze blew a little more through the window, cooling the whole room. Kagome moaned against his lips and deepened it. The wind blew her short nightgown and hair. Inuyasha sat up and kissed her again. She sat in his lap with her arms around him. Inuyasha pulled back and looked into her eyes. "What do you want Kagome?" Then his eyes widened. Kagome moved out of his lap and crossed her arms. "Kagome...I-" he stopped and crawled up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist once more. He kissed her neck and collar bone. She shivered, it was cool in the room, but it felt hot as well. She pulled away and stood up and shut the window. "Kagome, just make up your mind..." She grabbed her pillow and blanket and left. Inuyasha sat there feeling a idiot. Kagome ran down the stairs. She turned the corner and slipped on the floor and fell. She yelped a little. "My ankle..." She touched it and squinted her eyes in pain. The floor was extra slippery somehow. Shippo was in too deep of a sleep to be awakened. Kagome lied on the floor in pain. It brought tears to her eyes.
Inuyasha heard her yelp and stood up quickly. He ran downstairs and stopped in front of Kagome. He bent down near her and touched her shoulder, eyes wide, and said "Kagome, are you ok!?" "My ankle...it...hurts." Tears recklessly fell down her cheeks. Inuyasha picked her up bridal style and carried her back up to his room. He lied her down on his bed. "I will be right back..." He left the room.
Kagome waited a few minutes, lying on Inuyasha's soft, comfy bed in pain. 'If I wasn't so nervous and scared, this would've never happened!' she cursed herself inside her mind. Tears continued to stream down her face as the sharp pain increased. Inuyasha returned. He sat down next to her and handed her an icepack. "Thank you..." she said and gently placed it over her ankle. She shut her eyes tightly in pain. "Kagome..." he stroked her cheek with his forehand and kissed her forehead. He lifted her up and sat down and sat her in his lap and hugged her tightly. "Inuyasha, I'm sorry." Kagome said quickly. Inuyasha's ears perked up and he said "Huh, what are you talking about?" He turned her so that she would face him. She pounced up and hugged him tightly. She buried her face in his chest and sniffled. Inuyasha shifted his eyes down towards her and put his arm around her. Kagome sighed and felt another surge of pain through her ankle. She clenched her teeth and wiped her face. She whimpered softly. "Shhhhh..." Inuyasha said and held her closer.
Miroku heard something and woke up suddenly. He got up out of a bed and opened his door quietly. He walked over to Inuyasha's room and put his ear up to the door. He heard soft whimpering and moaning. He raised one eyebrow wondering what was going on. While he was leaning against the door it opened up and he fell to the ground. Kagome and Inuyasha looked up at him with shocked faces. He shielded his eyes while he stood up. "What's up with you Miroku?" Inuyasha said. Miroku put down his arms and stared at them with a totally clueless face. "I-I will just leave now..." And after that he left and shut the door quietly behind him.
Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. "I am tired Inuyasha..." Kagome said sleepily. "Ok..." he said and looked down at her, but she already fell asleep next to him. He kissed her forehead and turned off the light and lied down. Kagome was asleep on Inuyasha the whole night.

"Meow!" Sango opened her eyes and seen Kirara sitting on her chest meowing at her. "Aw..." Sango said and started petting her. Kirara purred and meowed again. "I can't believe it is morning already..." Sango said looking out her window at the blue morning sky. She opened the window and a slight breeze entered her room. "It's such a beautiful day..." she said and looked back over at Kirara. She opened the door and Kirara ran outside the door and up to Miroku's door. She pawed at it and Sango opened it quietly. Kirara ran in quietly and stopped at his bed. Sango entered and smiled seeing how cute her boyfriend was when he was sleeping. "But he won't be for long..." Sango whispered then smirked. She crawled up on the end of the bed and crawled towards Miroku. She smiled then gently crawled up onto him and sat on his chest. He didn't move or anything. "He is a really deep sleeper." Sango whispered to herself. She leaned down and kissed his lips. He opened his eyes and they widened the size of Jupiter. "S-Sango?" he said against her lips. She pulled back and looked down at him and smiled. "Why Sango...that's a really cute nightgown." he said lifting the back of it so that her underwear was showing. "YOU HENTAI!!" she screamed and slapped him. Kirara growled.
Kagome sat up quickly. She looked over at Inuyasha, who was still sleeping. "How can he sleep through that, he's the one with the keen sense of hearing..." she said softly to herself. She pulled the covers up over her head and moved closer to Inuyasha. She cuddled up next to him. She sighed and rubbed her face in his chest. He flickered his eyes open and looked down and saw black strands of hair sticking out from underneath the blanket. He pulled down the covers and seen Kagome cuddling up to him. He wrapped an arm around her and lightly kissed her forehead. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up at him with curiosity. He smiled down at her. She smiled back then shut her eyes tightly. "What's wrong Kagome!?" "It's...my ankle..." "Oh yeah, I forgot about that...don't worry, I will take care of you." "Thank you." "Do you need anything?" "A glass of water would be nice." Kagome smiled. "Alright love, hang on." He left the room and ran downstairs. Kagome looked at her ankle. It was swelled up and bruised. Another surge of pain went through her whole legs and she gripped the side of the bed in pain.
Sango sat on the chair across Miroku's room and watched him. Kirara sat in front of her and protected her. Miroku just continued to sit on his bed and look at his ceiling. Kirara growled again as Miroku shifted on his bed and looked out the window. "Kirara..." The little kitty looked up at Sango and meowed. "Come here Kirara." Sango said. Kirara jumped up on her lap and curled up into a little ball and closed her eyes.
Inuyasha returned to the room with a glass of ice water. "Here." he said and handed her the glass. She took a sip and then looked up at him. "What?" he said with an annoyed tone in his voice. "Do you have to watch me, all I am doing is drinking water." Inuyasha's expression softened and he said "I am watching you because I care about you, and I wanna help." "I am going to get dressed." Inuyasha just stood there. "Get out Inuyasha!" She shoed him out and started to get dressed slowly. "Well now I know how hard it is to get dressed when your ankle hurts like hell..." Kagome said to herself, struggling to get dressed. After about ten minutes, she finally finished getting dressed. "You can come in now." she called out and lied back down on the bed. Inuyasha came back in and was surprised she could do that herself. "How did you-" He was cut off because Kagome knew what he was going to say. She said "I had to hop on one foot, it wasn't fun, it hurt..."
Shippo woke up and yawned. He looked outside. "Wow, it's a beautiful morning!" he said and stretched. "I wonder if Kagome and Inuyasha are up yet..." Shippo jumped off the couch and started climbing the stairs.
"Poor you..." Inuyasha said and sat down next to her. Kagome sighed and stared out the window. "Do you wanna go outside?" he asked. "Does it look like I can walk!?" she hissed at him. His eyes widened and he said "No...I was going to take you out myself." He slightly smiled. She looked over at him and smiled then said "Really?" "Yeah." "Ok." Inuyasha picked her up bridal style and walked out the door.
Shippo looked up at them as he came out of the room. "Why are you carrying Kagome, she can walk by herself!" Shippo said glaring at Inuyasha. "No she can't munchkin. She hurt her ankle." Shippo nodded dumbly. Kagome smiled down at him and his expression brightened up. Inuyasha carried Kagome downstairs and Shippo ran to keep up. "Where are two going?" Shippo questioned. They both looked down at him and Inuyasha said "Leave us alone Shippo, we are going out, by ourselves." Shippo stopped and glared at Inuyasha. "What do you mean by yourselves?" he questioned again. "Shippo?" Shippo looked up at Kagome. "You can come later, me and Inuyasha are just going through the forest, we will come back later for you, ok?" Shippo smiled and said "Ok." He ran towards the stairs and scrambled back up them. Kagome looked back up at Inuyasha and smiled. "How did you do that?" he asked. "I am just gifted." Kagome smirked and Inuyasha rolled his eyes and carried her outside.
Kirara woke up and hissed as Miroku sat up and looked over towards her and Sango. Sango set Kirara down and left the room. Kirara ran after her. Sango went into her room followed by Kirara and she shut the door and got dressed. While Sango was getting dressed, Miroku was too. Then he opened his door and went downstairs and sat on the couch. Sango opened her after she was done and Kirara ran out and down the stairs. Sango followed. Kirara jumped up on the couch and curled up and fell asleep. Sango sat down next to Miroku and sighed. Miroku glanced over at her a few times until she caught him. He looked the other way quietly and sighed. Sango watched Kirara sleep and kept a close eye on Miroku.
Inuyasha carried Kagome through the woods. Kagome rested her head against his arm and listened to the birds. Inuyasha looked down at her. She looked back up at him and smiled. He kissed her forehead gently and smiled as he pulled back. Kagome smiled again and snuggled up to his arm and shut her eyes. Then Inuyasha started running and jumped into the air, holding onto Kagome tightly. She slightly opened her eyes and felt the wind rush past her. Inuyasha landed then looked down at Kagome to make sure she was ok. "You alright hunny?" Kagome nodded. Inuyasha walked through a few bushes. "Inuyasha, where exactly are we going?" Kagome asked a few minutes. "Nowhere, no place exactly." "Oh." Kagome looked down at the ground. Inuyasha looked down at Kagome. She looked so...bored. She sighed and looked back down at the ground and watched Inuyasha's feet move back and forth as he walked. "Kagome, are you bored?" Kagome snapped her head up quickly and said "No!" Inuyasha continued to walk on the path leading to nowhere in particular.
"Miroku?" Miroku looked up and smiled then said "Yes love?" "Are you bored?" "Kinda..." Miroku yawned and looked back outside. Sango looked at the floor then back up at Miroku. It was silent for a minute, then she said "Miroku?" He looked back at her and said "Yes." "Miroku, kiss me." Miroku's eyes widened. Sango looked down at the couch and blushed. "I-Me...Uh...Um." Miroku stuttered. He shifted over to Sango and held her hands. She looked up at him. They both closed their eyes and moved closer until their lips met. Miroku's arms encircled her waist, pulling her closer. Sango slowly moved her arms around his neck.
Inuyasha stopped and Kagome looked up at him. "What is it." They were up on a hill after leaving the forest. "Look." Kagome looked up. "A village." The hill rolled down to a quiet meadow which led to a small old-fashioned village. "Inuyasha, this is neat, I have never been out of the forest, except for the clearing with that Cherry Blossom Tree..." Kagome kinda blushed of thought of what happened there. "Wanna go check it out?" Inuyasha asked. "Ok...I guess..." Inuyasha started to walk down the hill with long grass.
Shippo came out of Kagome and Inuyasha's room after a having a fun time jumping on their bed. He stumbled down the stairs. He stood up and seen Sango and Miroku making out. "EWWWW!!!!!!!" he said with a disgusted look on his face. Sango and Miroku looked up quickly and seen Shippo watched them. They blushed brightly and looked at Shippo with an annoyed face. (A/N: This is how their eyes kinda looked like: T_T ok...on with the story...). Shippo backed away and fell in front of the stairs. Sango stood up and looked down at Miroku and nodded. He nodded back and stood up. They both walked towards Shippo with evil looks on their faces.
Kagome and Inuyasha entered the village. They were surprised that it was packed for how little it looked from the hill. There were people every which way you looked. But a lot of people looked at Kagome and Inuyasha like they were aliens. Inuyasha set Kagome down on a log bench thingy. Kagome heard people having a conversation nearby: "You don't supposed that young girl is that demon's mate, do you?" "A human girl and demon? Poppycock!" "It's possible." "Ye are being foolish." Then they looked up at Kagome and smiled. Kagome turned back around and looked at the ground. "Well, well, well, look everyone, my woman is here!" shouted a familiar voice from behind her. Koga walked up behind her and grabbed her waist. Kagome blinked then heard more people saying: "Koga is that girls mate!?" "Impossible!" More whispers were going on. Inuyasha turned around angrily and growled at what he seen. "Leave her alone!" Inuyasha yelled. Koga looked up. Kagome was helpless, she couldn't run away, she didn't wanna hurt her ankle more. But she had to do what she had to. She pushed Koga off her and ran over to Inuyasha and fell into his arms as pain surged through her leg. "Kagome, are you ok!?" Inuyasha asked her, his eyes wide. Koga snapped back to his senses and yelled "Kagome! Someone help, my woman is hurt!" Inuyasha growled and said "She is NOT your woman!" "Says who? She would never like you, just give it up!" Koga yelled back. "I never said she did! Leave her alone you Lone Wolf!" "Mutt!" "Flea bag!" Koga opened his mouth to say something then closed it again. A period of silence went past the whole village then Koga said "I am wasting my time with you, I already claimed Kagome as mine, so back off!" He ran up and pulled Kagome's arm. "I. said. leave. her. alone!" Inuyasha pulled Kagome's other arm. They pulled her back and forth until she screamed "STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!" They both let her go. She looked angrier then angry. She picked up a piece of wood from the ground and hit both boys upside their head as hard as she could. They both lied on the ground twitching. "HMPH!" Everybody looked at her then at the two boys twitching on the ground, then back at her. She was breathing hard then threw the piece of wood down on the ground. Inuyasha stood up with a large lump on his head and looked at Kagome angrily and made fists.
Sango and Miroku approached Shippo and he helplessly sat there. Then they pounced on him and he yelped. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! STOP IT! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Sango and Miroku were tickling Shippo. Tears came to his eyes and he continued laughing. They both stopped when they thought that that was enough punishment. Kirara woke up and ran over to them and meowed. She pounced on Shippo. "Hello Kirara." Shippo said and started petting her. Sango and Miroku stood up and sat back down on the couch and watched Shippo and Kirara play.
Koga stood up and looked around at the people staring at them. Koga glared at Kagome then walked away. Then pain surged through Kagome's leg again and she fell to the ground. "Kagome!" Inuyasha said and ran over to her. Kagome looked straight up into his eyes. Her eyes gathered tears and they started to silently fall down her cheek. She looked back down at the ground. Inuyasha picked her up again and looked at everybody. "Can anybody help her?" It was quiet, the people just continued to stare. "I will help." came a voice from the crowd. Everybody split up and looked at the person. It was an old woman with a little bird on her shoulder. "Follow me."
Inuyasha carried Kagome into a hut the old woman went into. "Lay her down here child." the old woman said and pointed to a straw bed with a blanket covering it. Inuyasha lied her down and sighed. Inuyasha sat in front of the fire the old woman made and waited for her to help Kagome. After a few moments, the old woman stepped out of the room and said. "She will be fine, she just needs a goodnight's sleep." Inuyasha nodded and the old woman sat down across from Inuyasha on the other side of the fire. "I think it's so sweet..." the old woman said cheerfully. "What." Inuyasha said with an annoyed tone. "Choosing her as yer mate, she is a sweetheart...ye have good taste." Inuyasha's ears perked up and his eyes widened. "Feh." he said and turned away to hide his blush. "Ha, so ye have child?" The old woman smirked. "No...I haven't done anything to her, she-" he stopped and looked back down at the floor. The old woman raised one eyebrow. The door from the other room opened and Kagome stumbled out. "Child, I told ye to rest." the old woman said. "I can't..." she replied. She and Inuyasha made eye contact. "Inuyasha?" "What." She walked over to him and sat down. She cuddled up in the blanket she brought with her and lied her head on his shoulder. "I don't wanna be alone..." She closed her eyes and sighed. Inuyasha wrapped his arm around her and lied his head on hers. He looked up to see the old woman smirked widely. He growled and she looked back at the fire. Kagome fell asleep and Inuyasha held her close. He leaned against the wall and lied her in his lap. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. The old woman watched them and sighed and put out the fire and went into her room to go to sleep.
(A/N: If I didn't type it down, they do eat during the day, but I am not going to put that much detail in, I type to much already, I don't want to add more...my friends pointed that out to me lol...And doesn't this woman kinda remind you of Kaede? ok, ok, back to the story)
"Where is Kagome and Inuyasha?" Shippo asked after he was done playing with Kirara. Sango and Miroku shrugged their shoulders. "You don't suppose anything has happened to them, do?" Sango said and looked at Miroku." "I'm not sure, but Inuyasha would protect Kagome, he would never let anything happen to her, I am sure they are fine. He is strong." Miroku said looking at the floor. Shippo yawned and curled up in his blanket and lied his head down on his pillow and fell asleep. Kirara jumped up on the couch and fell asleep next to Shippo. "Let's go to sleep." Sango said. Miroku nodded. They stood up and shut the light off and went upstairs. "Goodnight love." Miroku said and kissed Sango. Sango returned his kiss and said "Goodnight sweetheart." They both went into their rooms, got changed, and went to bed.
