Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha are really brothers, actually half brothers. They have the same father but different mothers. Sesshoumaru's mother is a demon like his father, making him a youkai (full demon). Inuyasha's mother is a human, making him a hanyou (half human, half demon). So…Kikyou. She is known as the 'undead miko'. She is the former caretaker of the jewel, the shikon-no-tama. She died long ago protecting that jewel. She is, as far as I know, Inuyasha's first love. For additional info, Kagome is her reincarnation…meaning she and Kikyou share the same soul. Anyway, here in my story, they live at the present time. Thanks for reading!

Chapter 10

FLASHBACK

For him, that only means one thing—she loves him too…

END FLASHBACK

Tears fell down Chean's cheeks while watching Kagome walk towards the person checking the passports. Before Kagome got there she turned around to look at her blonde friend.

"I'll miss you! I'll really try hard to visit here again! And don't worry I'll write to you every month!" she shouted, unaware of the glances she was receiving at that very moment.

"I'll miss you too, Kagome!" Chean choked. "Bye!"

"Bye!" Kagome replied. She felt sad leaving Chean when they had bonded so much these past months and she knows her friend feels ten times as much because like she said before Kagome left, she hates it when a friend leaves her. But still, she gave off a smile as she gave her passport for checking.

She's going home to Japan! She's finally going to see Inuyasha again!

The words Inuyasha said to her was still clear in her mind…

FLASHBACK

"Kagome…I—I love you…"

END FLASHBACK

Inuyasha will surely be surprised when he sees her in Japan. Good thing she controlled herself (she almost said to him that she's going home!).

She seated herself comfortably by the window of the airplane. 'Japan…Inuyasha…here I come!' she thought joyfully.

Sesshoumaru came out with an armful of clothes to launder when Inuyasha blocked him almost making him stumble backwards.

"Don't do that again! Didn't you see? I almost fell, you stupid jerk!" Sesshoumaru said to his brother as if telling off a mischievous five-year-old.

"I only wanted to help." He replied with a smile. "If you want I'll be the one to launder the clothes today. I'll also hang them after to dry."

"Aren't you being thoughtful?" his older brother said suspiciously. "Are you really into it?"

"Yes, I'm being thoughtful today so just abuse it will I still have that trait. Give me that." He said as he got the clothes from his brother's arms.

"I know the reason why…" Sesshoumaru remarked with a smile.

"Fine! You're right so just shut up! I'm going to start working on these." Inuyasha said and went outside.

……… (After a long while…)

"Hey! You finished?" Sesshoumaru asked after he opened the door of the house.

"Almost." Inuyasha replied as he picked up the last garment and hanging it up to dry. "There!"

"Get in now. You know I shouldn't have let you do the washing. You're too slow! I gave it to you after lunch and you finished at sunset!" Sesshoumaru said, laughing at his brother.

"Shut up! Is that your way of saying thanks, or what?" he replied as he gave his older brother a playful punch at the arm.

"I cooked vegetable soup." Sesshoumaru said, ending the previous conversation.

"Vegetable soup? Yuck! You know I hate vegetables!" Inuyasha said with a disgusted look at his face.

"Only joking!" he answered as he went straight to the kitchen to get their dinner.

"Anyway, Kikyo called a while ago." Sesshoumaru called out from the kitchen.

"Huh?" Inuyasha said, clearly not listening.

"You're friend, Kikyou called a while ago." he repeated, going out of the kitchen carrying their dinner.

"Why didn't you call me?"

"She said I don't have to. She talked to me instead. You know, I think she's lonely. She's got some kind of problem right now." Sesshoumaru said with a mark of worry in his voice.

Chap 10 finished! Hey guys, sorry for the wrong estimation. Last chap (chap 9) I said 2 chaps left, meaning this chap should be second to the last. BUT, there is still a lot to be going on 'til the sweet ending. So after this chap, maybe two or three chaps more until we reach the end…sorry again and thanks for your understanding… Anyway, please review! I know this chap didn't say much but I promise that next chap will be some kind of…eventful…and I know that you will be angry at me for making it happen…hehe
