Chapter: Two

Inuyasha looked at the well, swinging his leg back and forth lightly, 'Kagome better get back here soon…Don't know why, but this place just doesn't feel right when she's gone…' He sighs and looks at the sky, 'We have more than half of the jewel in our possession now. We're bound to run into Naraku again very soon, I can feel it.'

Inuyasha clenched his fist and looked at it. 'I've got focus and keep training till then.'

He unclenched his fist and let it hang loose by his side. He looked up at the leaves high above him. Rays from the sun were shining through them, thus creating dancing shadow patterns on Inuyasha. Then he smiled, he had temporarily forgotten how beautiful his time was. He liked to watch the sun rise and set each day. It was a breath taking sight and he for one did not take it for granted.

'Once Kagome comes back we'll take our leave.' Was his last thought before a very familiar yet sweet scent caught his nose.

"Kagome's back." He said quietly and smirked as he jumped out of the tree and walked to the well to go meet her.

When he reached the well he bent down, giving Kagome his hand and helped her out. She said her thanks and he just nodded while she dusted her whit cargo capri pants and light blue fitting shirt. He slung the big yellow bag over his shoulder and turned to her, an annoyed expression on his face.

"Kagome, what took you so long? You're late." He asked as he pointed to the sun with his left hand. "You said you'd be back today before noon and it's passed noon."

Kagome muttered a 'huh?' and looked up at the sky to where he was pointing, her hair high up in a ponytail swayed across her back at the motion. 'He can tell time by the sun?' in reality she was only ten minutes late but that's not good enough for our Inuyasha.

She then looked back at him and shrugged." Sorry Inuyasha, Sota misplaced some of my things and I had a hard time finding them."

"Feh, let's just go." He replied quietly as he rid his frustration and she nodded.

As they walked together toward Kaede's hut Kagome looked at him," Inuyasha, did you hear any word on where a jewel shard might be?"

"Yeah, there are supposedly more than three jewel shards at this village right behind that mountain." He said as he pointed to a far away mountain that was about ten miles away, maybe less. That was too far for her to sense them; otherwise she wouldn't have asked her question.

"Alright." She replied happily.

"We're gonna leave just as soon as Kaede comes back from getting healing herbs for our trip and then we'll be off to kick some major demon ass!" He said smirking while punching the air once with both fists.

Kagome giggled at his enthusiasm. 'Just another great day of shard hunting', she thought while smiling. She only enjoyed the traveling part the most. Even though it would get rather tiring, she liked it. They all got to meet new people and see new places. It was exciting for her, as it was for the others.

As they entered the hut Inuyasha put her bag down near the door just as Kagome got knocked over by a little kitsune who was more than happy to see her.

"Kagome your back!" exclaimed Shippo, who just returned from playing outside with Kilala.

Unknowingly to Shippo, Kagome was collapsing from the impact and she fell on…someone?

Shippo was rolled away from her by her movement and ended up against the wall while Kagome lay in Miroku's lap.

(UH OH! Did I make her do that?! ;) )

Sango glared at the monk knowing what he was going to do. Inuyasha started growling and was about to make a move. Shippo was the only one who was clueless at first. But the recovering from the fall, he sat up and looked at what he had done. He laughed and slapped his forehead, 'Oh man, Inuyasha's gonna kill Miroku!'

Miroku grunted from the surprise force that hit him in his lap and he looked down to what had caused it. When he saw what, or rather who, it was…

He smiled.

"Well well, looks like someone loves me today." He was about to grope Kagome's chest but at seeing this Inuyasha snatched her away from him and yelled," Don't touch her!" Then he punched Miroku on the head. Sango rolled her eyes, "He'll never learn."

Miroku's eyes were spinning and he had a stupid smile on his face.

Kagome breathed in a sigh of relief and looked up at Inuyasha. She gulped and gently got out of his grasp," Thanks."

"Feh." Inuyasha said and let her go. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked away with a blush on his face, "Yeah yeah, you're welcome."

Sango stood up and walked over to Kagome who was still by the door standing next to Inuyasha. "Welcome back." She said to both Kagome and Inuyasha, who was glaring at the monk every now and then.

"So, I assume we'll be leaving soon enough?" Sango continued.

"Yeah, as soon as Kaede comes back" Just as Kagome said that, Kaede entered the hut and set a basket full of healing herbs on the ground in front of them. She stood up straight again and wiped her forehead of sweat.

"Welcome back Lady Kaede." Both Kagome and Sango said while bowing to her. Miroku was now recovering and stood up, still rubbing his head. "Yes, welcome back Lady Kaede." He murmured in a daze.

The older priestess nodded and held her hands behind her back like she did often, "Good afternoon everyone. I have the herbs for ye Kagome. Do ye still remember how to make them as I showed ye the day before you left?" She turned to look at Kagome with a smile.

Kagome smiled back at her and nodded vigorously, "Yes Kaede. I remember everything, don't worry."

Inuyasha sighed, "Yeah, let's stop wasting time already now and let's go. Any demon could be getting to the shards right now, you know." He grunted and walked just outside to wait for everyone. Kagome sighed at his impatience and turned back to look at Kaede, "Yes, I suppose he's right. We really must be going. Thanks for everything Kaede."

She nodded at the young miko before her, "Very well then, have a safe trip everyone."

Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kilala all walked out of the hut with all the essentials packed.

The gang waved goodbye, save for Inuyasha who only waved once, to Kaede and headed off on a new journey that unsuspectingly to them, will change their lives forever.
