Chapter 7

As the sun was setting the group started to eat dinner.

Kagome couldn't stop smiling. Nether could Michiru, for some reason.

Michiru put down her bowl of rice and set her chopsticks flat on top of the bowl's rim.

Michiru got up then went to Inu-Yasha.

"Can I talk to you?" she eyed Kagome then added, "Outside."

Inu-Yasha's eyes widened, but he stood up anyway.

Everyone tunned toward him.

Kagome raised an eyebrow suspiciously.

"Where are you guys going?" she asked as they went out the door of Kaede's hut.

Inu-Yasha stepped back in for a moment, shrugged then went outside.

"I need a present, for mommy." Michiru stated.

"And..." Inu-Yasha didn't follow.

"And? Don't you want to get her somthing?"

"Well..." It didn't sound like a bad idea, "like what?"

"Um..." Michiru was in deep thought, "like a ring or something..."

"Somthing she'll wear?"

"Jewelry."

"Where do we get this 'jewelry' of yours?"

"At the store."

"What 'store'?"

"Uhhhhh..."

"Where's that?"

"What?!" Michiru yelled up at him, "Don't you know anything?"

This took Inu-Yasha aback.

"Yes!" He yelled back then added, "How about in Kagome's time?"

As Michiru nodded the bamboo curtain, that was Kaede's door, flew open, and Kagome walked out.

"What are you two yelling about?"

Michiru blushed and said, "It was his fault..."

Inu-Yasha simply "Feh."ed and turned away.

Kagome sighed. This was getting annoying. Why did Inu-Yasha always have to fight with everyone?

"Whatever." Kagome was really tired of this, "I'm going to take a bath in the hot springs with Sango, then I'm going to bed. Try not to fight... please."

Another 'Feh' from Inu-Yasha and Kagome went into the hut then came out with her bath stuff, Sango, and Shippou.

"Do you want to come Michiru?" Kagome smiled at the little girl.

"YES!" Michiru yelled happily then frowned and said, " I mean no."

"Okay then." Kagome didn't bother to ask about her sudden schizophrenia, "Let's go."

"Lets go." Michiru looked up at Inu-Yasha.

"Where?" he replied.

"Duh! To the mall or wherever!"

"Ah." Inu-Yasha just gave up, "Okay to Kagome's time."

"Yeah yeah come on!" She ran to wards the well with speed Inu-Yasha never expected from such a little girl.

'Whoa.' Inu-Yasha's thought, 'Maybe she's part demon.'

Inu-Yasha growled, 'She better not be Koga's kid!'

Inu-Yasha slowed down. When had he gotten so far ahead of the girl? When he was thinking about Koga?

Michiru came soon after.

"Jeez gasp why'd gasp ya run gasp so fast?" She stopped be for jumping into the well, grabbing Inu-Yasha's hand and pulling him down with her.

They landed and got out of the well.

"Listen kid," Inu-Yasha grabbed her arm, then added, "Don't say your Kagome's kid or they'll kill her."

"Um... okay."

"We need this money stuff."

"Ask Grandma." Michiru suggested, "She always gives me money."

"Okay, but remember she's not your 'Grandma' right now, alright?"

"Uh huh."

'I'll have to be nice and do something for this money. Like what?'

They walked into the kitchen.

"Hello Mrs. um Higurashi."

Kagome's mom turned around and smiled.

"Hello there Inu-Yasha. Who's your friend?"

"Oh um... my little sister, Michiru."

"Hello Michiru."

"Hi Gran- um Kagome's mom."

"If your Inu-Yasha's little sister just call me Grandma, it's better than Mrs. Higurashi or Kagome's mom for someone so young." Mrs Higurashi laughed.

"Oh Inu-Yasha," she added, "Where's Kagome?"

"She'll be back tomarrow..."

"Grandma?"

Mrs Higurashi smiled, "Yes?"

"Can I have some money?"

"For what?"

"A present, for mo-Kagome." Michiru smiled to cover up her little 'mistake'.

"oh..." Mrs Higurashi turned to wards Inu-Yasha, "Do you want some money as well?"

Inu-Yasha shook his head 'yes' then said, "But... I can do something to repay you."

Mrs Higurashi shook her head indicating that it wouldn't be necessary.

Inu-Yasha thought about how nice she was... like Kagome.

'They really are alike.' Inu-Yasha thought to himself, 'So is that little girl. Not like my family. My family is (and was) so different.'

"Well," Mrs Higurashi snapped him out of his thoughts, "Lets be going then put on your hat Inu-Yasha."

"Where?" Michiru asked, right be for Inu-Yasha opened his mouth to do the same.

"Mall... oh, um..." Mrs Higurashi thought of a way to explain, "It a big hut with a um market inside."

"Oh..." Michiru pretended not to know what a 'Mall' was.

"Aright then. Lets go."
