Kagome Pov

I slowly came down the stairs and into the den. Their heads turned to look at me. I couldn't do it, I just couldn't kill myself. I won't try anything like that again. They all had a look of relief in their eyes as they saw that I was up and walking. Shippo jumped into my arms and cried happy that I decided to live.

"I…I couldn't…I just couldn't leave you all." Tears started going down my cheeks as I smiled at them best I could. Before I knew it Hiei had engulfed me in a large hug being careful of Shippo. He pulled away as the others hugged me in turn. "I promise that I will never try anything like that again." I promised.

"Good, because if you do I will bring you back and kill you myself." Hiei smirked.

I smiled. "Deal." I agreed as I giggled. I sat on the couch with them; it felt good to be alive. Why did I want to be dead with such great guys like them around? Yusuke and Kuwabara seemed like brothers to me, Hiei already was my brother, and Kurama…I think I may like him as more than just a friend.

Shippo was curled up in my lap; I ran my hand through his tail. My tail had somehow found its way around Kurama's waist. I felt a soothing sensation from my tail run up to my spine. I sighed happily but blushed when I heard a silky chuckle. 'My tail has a mind of its own I swear!' I thought.

Shippo giggled giving me a 'He's-petting-your-tail' look. I couldn't help it, it felt so good. I started purring, I didn't know that I could do that. 'He sure knows how to torture someone.' I thought. Hiei smirked as I sent him a mock glare. 'I'm hopeless!'

The next day

I woke up before everyone else. They had spent the night since we had talked and lost track of time, it was late so I suggested that they spend the night. I was used to waking up early because Inuyasha would wake us up early in the morning. I got to work on breakfast; I seemed to be on automatic right now. I didn't have to think about what I was doing, I just did it. For me that was a routine. I felt a pair of eyes watching me; I bit my lip to hold in my giggles and kept on going wondering how long they would watch me.

I finally lost it, they had been watching for five minuets. I giggled, "I know your there, what pray tell do you find so interesting about watching me?" I asked with a smile as I turned to face Kurama.

"You just seemed to work on automatic, you were there but your mind wasn't." I looked down finding a spot on the tile very interesting at the moment.

"I'm just used to this; I did it all the time so it just comes automatically.' I replied.

"Would you like some help?" he asked.

I smiled and nodded, "That'd be great." I said as we got to work.

We talked and laughed, soon pancakes, eggs, and sausage was placed on the table as the others made their way downstairs. Yusuke's hair was a sight; it stuck up in all directions as did Kuwabara's. Hiei looked like he had a rough night; I'll have to ask him about that later.

"Thanks." Yusuke yawned.

"Welcome." Kurama and I said in unison.

Soon we were eating and talking about random things. I didn't really care about what I talked about, I was just happy to be here with all of them. I was happy again, I felt like I had a big family. Sure, we made an odd family. But we were happy. Even with our odd quirks. We accepted each other as we were. Isn't that all that matters in the end?
