Kagome smiled. Inu-yasha whined as she dropped her hand from his ears. "Inu-yasha." Kagome whispered, slightly poking him in the shoulder. Inu-yasha snorted but didn't open his eyes.
"Inu-yasha, I know you're awake." Kagome said, again poking him in the shoulder. Inu-yasha growled, "Kami! Can't even get any sleep around here." Kagome scowled, "Grouch. I was only coming to find you to ask you if you were staying in my hut tonight with the rest of us." Kagome lied.
Inu-yasha looked Kagome up and down. Raising an eyebrow ever so slightly he asked, "Does it matter if I did or not?" Kagome frowned, "Not really." She lied once again. Inu-yasha snarled, "Why didn't you tell us about Kikyo before? Why did you run away?"
Taken aback by the sudden change of subject Kagome fell flat on her butt. "Inu-yasha, I..." Inu-yasha cut her off with a look that said You-better-not-lie.
"I didn't want to go back and have you yell about Kikyo not really doing that. Or that she didn't mean it." Kagome said truthfully.
"Did you ever think about what you did to u- I mean them, and Shippo? What about your family? Did you ever go see them?" Inu-yasha asked softly. Kagome looked to the ground, and sighed sadly. "No, I never thought about how you all would feel. I never went to see my family after that. I couldn't take the risk of any of you spotting me."
Inu-yasha sat quietly, not saying anything even when she was thru explaining. "I miss them, but I don't want to go back. I like it here, in your time." With you. She mentally added. Kagome stood and wiped off her butt.
Inu-yasha followed her with his eyes as she stretched, getting the kinks out if her back. "Kagome, they've missed you, you stupid idiot!" Inu-yasha added for good measure. Kagome smiled, "I've miss them as well. Inu-yasha, I've missed you too, you know." She told him quietly.
If Inu-yasha didn't have such keen hearing it wouldn't have been heard at all. Inu-yasha didn't comment, but simply stood up and began walking to the hut. "Coming?" he growled, not turning toward her, nor stopping. Kagome smiled and ran to catch up.
As they reached the hut Kagome stopped Inu-yasha before he had the chance to go in. "What now wench?" Kagome scowled at the use of his words but asked anyway, "Do you want me to go with you? When you all leave?" Inu-yasha considered this. "We could use you. To sense out the jewel shards, and we could use your help when we get to Naraku." Inu-yasha decided. Kagome smiled, "Then I'll go, but I'm not just a jewel detector this time."
With that she walked into the hut and calmly went to sleep. Her last thought being a memory of sitting by a camp fire with Inu-yasha.
I know this is short but I ran out of ideas. Sorry. Review! I'll try to update soon!
