This chapter would have been up sooner but my internet was off again for like 2 weeks...i think.
So here it is!
Their Hearts Will Help
Chapter 2
"Do NOT 'hey' me like that InuYasha." Kagome snapped when she
finally found her voice and her
breath caught up to her. "What in the world are you doing here
InuYahsa?"InuYahsa pulled his coat off and sat down in the chair.
Kagome took her seat too, although she seemed
to flop down, as if her knees had given out on her. InuYasha glanced
around the room slowly before
coming back to meet her eyes.
"InuYasha, I asked you what you where doing here." Kagome said again,
this time slowly.
"I told you..." InuYasha rolled his eyes and smirked. "I need to buy a house."
"But why? Why do you need a house?" Kagome smacked her hands softly on the desk in mild
frustration.
"So...that I have somewhere to live." InuYasha said like it was obvious. Kagome shook her head and
rolled her eyes. She rested her head on the back of her computer chair and let the awkward silence fall
over them.
"So...Is Shippo here to?" Kagome asked looking up at him.
"Yea...he is staying with me in a little apartment we rented, a few blocks down from your house."
He said softly. Kagome shook her head once again. None of this made any sense...
"Were you two going to ever come and see us?"
"Of course!" He said sharply like he didn't even understand why she would ask that.
"When?" Kagome stared into his eyes sadly. There was no way possible he knew how much this hurt.
To know that he had been in her time long enough to rent an apartment but he never came to see her, or
his daughter. Did he realize how long they had been waiting for him and Shippo?
"Soon." InuYasha spook with confidence. "There was only a few more things to be done before we
could come see you again."
"Okay..." Kagome said still not understanding a lick of this. "But how soon is soon when you haven't
seen your daughter or..." She paused having no idea what to call herself when referring to him. "or her
mother in around 3 years?"
"You don't understand." Inuyasha said sharply. Kagome stood from her chair and walked to the big
window looking out at the town.
"Don't you think I know that?" Kagome replied sadly. With a low growl from deep in his throat
InuYasha pushed back sharply form his chair and walked over to her. He grabbed her by the shoulders and
turned around.
"Do you really think that I liked living knowing Sui was right down the street? Do you actually believe
that I wanted to be away from you a moment longer than I had to?" InuYasha's voice had gone to a
low murmur and Kagome had to strain to hear. Her heart was racing from the moment he touched her
shoulders and her chest had twisted the moment he spoke.
"How was I-" Inuyasha cut her of by placing two fingers over her lips.
"Do you realize how much I've missed you?" Then before she could get a word in he replaced his
fingers with his lips. Kagome's head spun. She seemed frozen before she really took in what was
happening. InuYasha was back...and they were kissing.
Inuyasha broke the kiss off and licked his lips, then softly placed his forehead on hers. Kagome
laughed softly and shortly, then placed a small soft kiss on his mouth.
"I've missed you to." InuYasha smiled and placed her hand in his intertwining their fingers. But
Kagome quickly took her hand back out and stepped away.She walked over to her desk and tried to regain
her composure. Even though InuYasha and her had just kissed, this wasn't the place to do it again and he
had some explaining to do. She sat in her chair and opened a file on the computer. She heard footsteps
behind her.
"What kind of house..." she had to clear her throat when he placed his hand on her shoulder. "What
kind of house are you looking for?"
"A big one." He said shortly. "Kagome you have just seriously pulled your self into a tight..." His voice
drifted and she saw his arm reach for the picture frame in front of her. "Gosh..." he said softly. Kagome
smiled softly. "I feel like it has been forever. She looks so much bigger."
"She is...she is really starting to grow up."
"I can tell...she is so pretty." He touched the photo softly before handing it back to her and clearing
his throat. He looked to the right of her computer and saw the other picture frame which was quickly
snapped down so he couldn't see it. But he did, and he smiled.
"Don't say anything InuYasha." Kagome warned. He laughed softly.
"Kagome..." he said in an annoying sing song voice. "Why do you have a picture of me on your desk?"
"InuYahsa..." She said back to him in the same annoying sing song voice. Then she smiled and he
frowned. "Sit."
InuYasha hit the ground and grunted. He should have known that was coming.

Later that night Kagome sat at home on the telephone with her mother. They were talking about all
the usual things they did on her mother's weekly check-up. The bills (which her mother never got the
truth on), Sui (which was always good news), family (like her brother and his kids,there are 3 now), and
then the topic of InuYasha always came up even though Kagome hated it. Kagome had already decided
not to mention her earlier encounters with him to her mother. She would ask to many questions and
Kagome wasn't ready to answer half of them.
"So...no news from Inu yet?" Her mom asked. Kagome sighed.
"Nope..."
"Well that's to bad. I have to run though...super is cooking. Love you."
"Love you to mom." They both hung up and Kagome stood stretching out her legs. Her and InuYahsa
had never picked out a house earlier. They had finally got to looking at them when her boss, Yuri had
walked in and said that he needed her to run to a meeting for him. InuYasha had simply said 'later' and
left.
She really hoped to see him again...and soon.
An hour later she started super and at 5:30 Sui came home from being at a friends house, where they
were working on a school project.
"Hey, momma." Kagome bent down and Sui stood on tiptoes and kissed her cheek. "Anything exciting
happen today?" Kagome flinched. She wasn't sure if she should tell Sui about seeing InuYasha or not. But
she didn't want to lie to her.
"Actually Sui..." Kagome's voice drifted as the door bell rung. "You wanna get that? I don't want to
leave the stove unattended." Sui smiled and hurried off. From the kitchen, Kagome couldn't really see the
front door but she could hear what was going on. The front door opened then shut back and then opened
again. She heard muffled voices and then Sui scream 'Oh Gosh'. The door shut again and Sui came running
back in the kitchen.
"Mom! You will never guess who is at the door!" Sui was jumping up and down with a big smile on her
face.
"Bet I can..." Kagome replied with a smile.
"Nu uh."
"Let me take a shot."
"Okay...go ahead. But your not gonna get it." Sui clapped her hands once and smiled wide. She
looked so confident that Kagome couldn't ruin it even though she knew exactly who was at the door.
"The mail man!" She declared. Sui giggled.
"No...you silly. It is our favorite people in the world."
"Hmm..."
"Oh...just let me tell you!" Sui said with an impatient huff.
"Alright." She sighed overdramatically.
"InuYasha and Shippo! They are back! They're back!" With that she raced back into the living room.
Turning off the stove she wiped her hands and followed her daughter.
InuYasha and Shippo stood in the middle of the room. InuYasha stood with an odd air around him and
Shippo, with great ease. He did once live here. Kagome rushed to Shippo and threw her arms around
him. Shippo eagerly hugged back.
"I've missed you so much Shippo." Shippo smiled and kissed her cheek.
"I missed you to!" Sui squeezed between Kagome and Shippo and threw her arms around him.
Kagome glanced over at InuYasha and saw that his gaze was held firmly on Sui. Once the girl let go of
Shippo, she turned to InuYasha.
"I missed you to InuYasha!" She held up her arms and he picked her up. His face lit up when she
placed a small kiss on his cheek. "Why where you gone so long?" InuYasha and Kagome shared a glance and
he looked away.
"I just had to be."
"Well...that's okay. 'Cause your back now! Now tomorrow when I go back to school I can tell
everyone that my daddy returned home!" Sui smiled and threw her arms around his neck and hugged him
tightly not noticing that he had gone incredibly stiff and wasn't really hugging her back. InuYasha pulled
Sui off his neck and put her down. Then sinking to her level, he stared at her eyes.
"You know?"
"Know what?" Sui raised an eyebrow at him.
"That I'm your dad..." Kagome shot out of the seat she had recently taken on the couch and Shippo's
eyes widened.
"Well...duh. It was kind of obvious...I mean, how many people have ears like ours. She reach over
and grabbed his. InuYasha abruptly stood up and walked over to Kagome. To Shippo and Sui it would look
like he was simply hugging her. But Kagome and InuYasha knew different. Inuyasha had Kagome pressed
against him, his nails were slightly digging into her back.
"I can't believe you told her!" He whispered softly into her ear.
"I told her nothing...I didn't know she knew." Kagome whispered back sharply.
"Don't lie to me." His grip tightened. "Why did you do this to me? I wanted to be here. I've missed
everything else."
"I didn't tell." This time she spoke at a normal tone volume and
pushed away from InuYahsa. She wiped her eye and then darted up the
stairs. With one look from the stairs to InuYasha, Shippo followed.
Guilt instantly overcame him. Gosh, he was an asshole.
If the end of this chapter seems...odd...or weird...it is because i am having a bad night...really bad. But I wanted to get the next chapter out to you all...
because I love you!
