CloserThanFate: some of you might want to know what the heck the last part of my a/n was last time. It was supposed to be a smiley face but it didn't quite work out...

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha but I do own.... Never mind, I lost the stub of a pencil I had been using....

Flashback

"You don't need me! I saw you with Kikyo, the only reason you kept me around is because I could sense the shards!" She yelled. Kagome put one leg over the side of the well. "And don't even THINK of following me or you'll get sat!" yelled Kagome, before disappearing into the well for the last time. "Fine!" shouted InuYasha, turning his back to the well.

Chapter 2Boy Troubles

"Kagome! I need you to walk Sota to his friends house!" called Kagome's mom. "Why?" Kagome called back, looking up from her book. "Because I'm busy." Said her mom, as you would have guessed, busily. "Fine." Said Kagome, putting her book away and pulling on a coat. It had been raining the past few days and was muddy and wet outside. "Come on Sota!" called Kagome, heading out the door. "Wait for me!" yelled Sota, running after her. "Humph" said Kagome, still fuming about InuYasha. 'I don't need him. He doesn't like me anyways,' thought Kagome, ' I'll go visit Sango and them later but not InuYasha. I can't believe I thought he liked me at all!'. "Everything ok sis?" asked Sota, looking back at her. Then she realized she had been falling behind while she thought. "Yeah" she said, "Just thinking...".

"Boy troubles?" questioned Sota, "Yah know InuYasha isn't that bad."

"Who said I had boy troubles and especially about InuYasha?" screamed Kagome at Sota.

"It's obvious," he said, "staring into space, not wanting to talk about him, and staying quite are behavioral patterns that kind of give it away. It goes the same for girl troubles."

"W-what? You've got to be kidding me. Just because I don't want to talk about him all the time doesn't mean I'm having boy troubles. And besides, how are you so sure boy troubles are just like girl troubles?" said Kagome, looking at him curiously.

"Ummm...Uhh.... one of my friends was having girl troubles," stuttered Sota.

"Uh-huh, sure" said Kagome, "so who is it you like?"

"No one! I told you!" Sota said quickly, "So what do you really do back in the feudal era?"

"W-what?" said Kagome, looking shocked.

"I said; so what do you really do back in the feudal era?" said Sota, grinning mischievously.

"What the? Why you!!!" yelled Kagome, starting to chase Sota who ran as fast as he could.

They nearly made a new human speed record. "Bye Sota!" said Kagome, smiling "See you when you get home!"

Sota swallowed nervously. Kagome walked home, enjoying the silence. ' I never get to walk in silence like this in the feudal era.' thought Kagome.

Before InuYasha knew it, he was at the old well. 'How did I end up here?' thought InuYasha, sitting down. He sat there for about 2 hours just thinking. ((ooc I know but still...heh heh...)). Miroku stepped out from the bushes. His whole face was red now from all the times Sango had hit him. "Sango wants to talk to you." He said, slightly dazed. "Feh," said InuYasha, standing up and walking to the village. When he got to Kaede's hut he saw Sango sitting out on the step in front of it. Shippo was on her shoulder. "Miroku said you wanted to talk to me?" he said, crossing his arms. Sango stood up and handed him a letter. "I want you to put this in Kagome's room but don't you dare read it." She said coldly, obviously still mad at him. "Why should I? Said InuYasha not looking interested. "Because if you don't I'll cut you in half with the hiraikotsu."

"Oh yeah? I 'd like to see you try," said InuYasha, "you couldn't hit me if you had to"

Sango gave him a glare that would make Sesshoumaru run and hide for his life. "Uhh...I'll get it there in a flash!" he said. The only reason he was doing this was because Sango was his friend ((and he's terrified of her)) although he wouldn't call ANYONE that out loud. InuYasha ran to the well and jumped in.

Kagome had just got home but it was already about 5:00pm. "Kagome?" called her mother, "is that you?". "Yeah, is Sota spending the night there?" asked Kagome, taking her coat off and hanging it up. "Yeah, he won't be home until about 10 tomorrow." Replied her mother.

"Ok." Said Kagome, walking up the stairs. When she got to her room, she changed into her pajamas and sat down to write in her diary.

Dear Diary,

Today I walked Sota to his friend's house. He's spending the night there. InuYasha still hasn't come to take me back there and I had expected he would. But, then again, he so stubborn he hasn't even probably given it a thought. I hope that they're having good luck in finding the rest of the shards. Actually...

Kagome wrote until she felt she had written everything on her mind. Which wasn't much right now. Then she cleaned her room out of boredom. After that, she unset her alarm and fell asleep with Buyo on her head like a hat.

InuYasha leaped out of the well and over to Kagome's window. Kagome was fast asleep on her bed with her cat on her head. 'How can she sleep with a mangy cat on her head like that?' he thought to himself. Carefully he lifted the window up and stepped into the room. The window banged shut and he dropped to the floor. Kagome sat up in bed and looked around. 'Thank the gods it's dark' thought InuYasha. After deciding it was just her dream, Kagome went back to sleep. Down in her room, Kagome's mother woke up and decided it was her father wandering around again. In her grandfather's room, he woke up and firmly decided it was an evil demon come to kill them all and started putting up all sorts of enchantments to keep it at bay. InuYasha looked around to find a place to put the letter. After a minute of searching, he decided on the desk. When he went to put the letter on it he spotted Kagome's diary. Without a second thought, he opened it and started trying to read it. Thankfully Kagome had helped him learn to read a bit. He read:

Dear Diary,

Today I walked Sota to his friend's house. He's spending the night there. InuYasha still hasn't come to take me back there and I had expected he would. But, then again, he so stubborn he hasn't even probably given it a thought. I hope that they're having good luck in finding the rest of the shards. Actually I miss going there. And if truth were told, am starting to miss InuYasha. He may be a jerk but he can also be very nice too. What am I saying? He doesn't like me! He just wants me around so he can find the jewel shards faster and be with Kikyo! I must be tired from chasing Sota. I'm going to go to sleep and try to forget this.

Night!

Kagome

After tens minutes of reading this InuYasha was a little dizzy but at least he knew what Kagome thought now. 'I do not!' he thought, 'wait! Doesn't Kagome still have a good chunk of the shikon jewel? Where does she keep it?'. He started sniffing around for it. It was impossible though, everything smelled like Kagome here. So, he just started physically searching. First he looked in her dresser. The first drawer did not hold anything important. Same with the second, but in the third was something that caught InuYasha's eye. 'What are these again?' he thought ((yes, he's such a bright boy)). Kagome woke up for what she thought was no reason. But when she looked around the room she saw.....
