Hello there everyone! Sorry for taking so long to update! I know a lot of you have been waiting for this chapter to be posted. I'm so sorry if it's not what you all have been expecting! Well, enjoy and please R&R.

Ms. Higurashi looked over as she saw Inuyasha push himself up off her kitchen tiles grumbling something about Kagome over using the 'sit' command. Inuyasha got up and ran out of the kitchen after her daughter. She didn't know if she should intrude anymore of their privacy but curiousity got the best of her as she walked over standing in the entry to her front door. She peered out as she saw Inuyasha's rosary beads glow while he leapt up in mid air.

Bang.

Ms. Higurashi winced as she saw Inuyasha plummet down on her concrete shrine steps.

Sigh.

She cautiously walked over towards the shrine steps stopping a few inches away. Ms. Higurashi stood to the side of the God's Tree looking over at Inuyasha as he painfully pushed himself up trying his hardest not to wince. When he managed to sit up straight Inuyasha had looked over to the spot where Kagome had walked off at. Ms. Higurashi couldn't help but feel a bit sympathetic for him as Inuyasha's ears flattened on the top of his head, pouting in a way staring off into space. She began to walk slowly over as Inuyasha's ears went straight up twitching. Ms. Higurashi stopped instantly as Inuyasha stood up turning around looking out her.

"Are you alright Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha looked over at Kagome's mother as he straightened up his slouched shoulders, puffing out his chest as proud as he could. "Feh, take's a lot more then Kagome to hurt me!"

Ms. Higurashi smiled as she saw Inuyasha try his best to hide the fact that he was hurt by the fact that Kagome had left him. "Okay dear. Why don't you come inside and I will make you a nice cup of hot tea with some honey in it." She could tell Inuyasha didn't know what to do and being the tough guy he was she figured that this next offer would help him keep his pride less bruised then it obviously already was. "With some ramen on the side."

Inuyasha couldn't help but smile a bit at the very mention of ramen. "Fine, I could care less about getting the tea or not but the ramen would be fine." He looked over as Ms. Higurashi smiled.

"Alright then, come on in Inuyasha."

Inuyasha nodded as he saw Kagome's mother retreat back to her home on the shrine. He couldn't help but raise a eyebrow. Kagome was sort of like her mother, so sweet and understanding but one thing that Inuyasha saw which was different was when Kagome was pissed she had her revenge even without knowing it sometimes but Inuyasha also never saw her mother mad so he wouldn't know the difference. He looked down as his ears flattened on his head once more. 'I didn't wanna be that mean to Kagome. I don't know why she would leave me here alone and sick. I must have really gotten her mad.' Inuyasha sniffled as his nose faintly picked up on a smell he liked. 'Mmm, ramen! Atleast something I like will come out of this.' He picked himself up as he walked back to the house. As he entered it he walked into the kitchen. Ms. Higurashi was sitting at the table with a cup of ramen and a cup of her tea and across from her Inuyasha had the same thing as her.

"Hmph... thanks." He sat down as he saw Kagome's mother smile once again.

"Your welcome." Inuyasha looked at her as she started to slowly eat. He nodded as he began to eat also. The two remained in silence for a few minute's until Ms. Higurashi finished her meal. "Are you finished?" Inuyasha looked down at his cup of he noticed he had probably finished a little while ago. He knew he must have been too lost in his thoughts to realize. Inuyasha nodded once again as he handed Kagome's mother the empty cup of ramen. She smiled politely as she took the cup from him. After a few moment's of clearing the table Ms. Higurashi once again sat back down across from Inuyasha.

"She won't be mad forever."

"Huh?" Inuyasha looked over at her. He knew what she was talking about but the scene she had just seen he wasn't going to easily admit it. "Feh! I don't care if she stays mad at me or not! She has too come back to my time era with me and find those damn shards she helped scatter!" Inuyasha was preparing for some sorta wrath of emotions from the woman sitting across from him. All she did was smile again. Inuyasha willingly admitted to himself- he was baffled.

"You know Inuyasha team work is always a very important role in life and from what Kagome tells me all of you do your part."

Inuyasha looked at her as he blinked. 'Kagome remembers us when she comes back? I always figured she forgot about us when she came home because we were off no current concern.'

"I know about all of you. The demon exterminator Sango, the monk Miroku, the kitsune pup Shippo, Sango's two tailed cat demon Kirara and yourself." Ms. Higurashi felt a bit proud of herself as she noticed Inuyasha's immediate interest in there conversation. "She always tells me such good things about what you all do and accomplish together being a team. I also know about Miroku's dangerous wind tunnel, I even know about his lecherous ways." She heard Inuyasha chuckle as she let out of a soft laugh of her own. "I know about Shippo's parents, Sango's village, the village priestess Kaede. I even know about Sesshomaru, Rin, Jaken and Naraku."

Inuyasha froze as he heard the last name being mentioned. "Then-- you must know about Kikyo also." The half demon's voice was low and empathetic. Ms. Higurashi instantly noticed Inuyasha's change in mood. She simply nodded. Inuyasha looked at her as he managed out a "Oh." with his hoarse tone.

"I hope you don't mind but Kagome also told me about you and Kikyo's past and almost everything that has happened. Yes, I even know about her stealing Kagome's shards from her." Inuyasha's eyes widened but before he could speak Ms. Higurashi decided to continue. "But there's also the time her and Kagome were stuck inside the demon Miko Fuuji that was disguised as a cave and they worked together as a team to escape."

Inuyasha's looked at Ms. Higurashi completely paler then usual. 'When... when were Kikyo and Kagome trapped in a Miko Fuuji?! Neither one of them told me about it!' Inuyasha felt himself being broken out of his thoughts as he felt a soft hand ontop of his. He looked over as he saw it was Kagome's mother smiling contently at him.

"I don't think Kagome talks about anyone else as nicely as she does with Kikyo."

Inuyasha almost fell off the chair in disbelief. "Wh-- what do you mean?"

Ms. Higurashi looked at him as she stood up. "I'm trusting you with this little secret Kagome told me. No matter what happened or happens in the future she is still glad you met Kikyo because you were so alone your whole life and Kikyo was the first person kind to you besides for your mother. I can't tell you everything but I can offer you this little peice of advice. A wise man can see more from the bottom of a well than a fool can from a mountain top." She smiled as she saw the confused look on Inuyasha's face. "Excuse me for a moment dear while I vacumn."

Inuyasha looked over at Ms. Higurashi as she walked out of the room to leave him with his own thoughts. 'What does that mean?' As he sniffled Inuyasha once again picked up on a familiar scent as he looked up at the doorway to the kitchen seeing Kagome standing there looking at him.'Kuso.'

Aww! I think it was cute I made him and Ms. Higurashi sorta have a heart to heart. Please tell me what you think I barely get any reviews anymore 8-( Thanks a bunches!
