The sun rose on the horizon. Inuyasha's ears pricked as the sunlight came through the leaves. He opened his eyes to see a beautiful sunrise in front of him, he yawned and stretched careful of the sleeping kitsune in his lap. The sunrise looked so beautiful to Inuyasha, this was his favourite time to wake up. He could sense Shippo beginning to wake up on his lap.
"Good morning Inuyasha" Shippo spoke quietly with his morning voice.
"Good morning Shippo" Inuyasha replied. Shippo crawled out of the jacket and stretched, he gave the jacket back to Inuyasha.
"Thanks for letting me use your jacket Inuyasha"
"No problem" Inuyasha replied taking the jacket and putting it back on.
"Hey why don't we go back for breakfast?" Shippo said looking in the direction of the village. Inuyasha didn't respond. Shippo turned back around to see Inuyasha frozen to the spot.
"Inuyasha?" Shippo asked.
Inuyasha's eyes widened, he began to get excited. He never got this excited about her coming back ever, until now.
"Inuyasha what's up with you?"
"K…Kagome?" Inuyasha said looking in the direction he picked up her scent.
"Kagome! She's back!" Shippo said happily.
"You bet I'd know her scent better than anyone"
"Lets go tell the others." Inuyasha nodded and both the kitsune and dog demon ran at a full run towards the village.

Kagome walked behind Sesshomaru as he led Ah and Uh through the forest. Rin and Jaken were still asleep.
'Man why did he have to wake me up so early? He let them sleep why not me?' Kagome yawned.
"So when do you think we'll get to the village?" Kagome asked.
"Likely around night time" Sesshomaru replied.
"If I rode that dragon thing with Jaken and Rin, wouldn't we get there must faster?" Kagome asked. Sesshomaru didn't answer.
'If we did, the plan I've arranged wouldn't work. I also have to make sure we took the longest route possible, that will work too, as long as Jaken doesn't notice, cause he'll point it out' Sesshomaru thought as he continued to walk.
"Well aren't we the silent time" Kagome muttered. Sesshomaru turned his head to look at Kagome.
"I heard that"
"Well it's about time you answered me" Kagome said. Sesshomaru ignored her, turned back around.
'If that wench doesn't stop complaining, my heads going to explode' Sesshomaru thought as they continued to walk to the village.

Inuyasha and Shippo ran into the hut, scaring everyone who was inside.
"Whoa, fellas, what's the rush?" Miroku asked.
"Kagome's back!" Shippo cried in joy.
"She's back! How?" Sango asked.
"I picked up her scent not too long ago, I think she's coming back!" Inuyasha spoke. Sango and Miroku just stood there, no look of joy or anger. Inuyasha raised his eyebrow.
"What? You guys aren't happy that she's back?" Inuyasha asked.
"No its not that, its just we think we know why she's come back so soon is all" Miroku replied. Inuyasha looked over at Miroku.
"What?" Inuyasha said.
Sango and Miroku looked at each other than pointed to the left of the hut. Inuyasha followed to where they were pointing, and realized that that was what she was coming for, her backpack.
"Oh yeah, I guess she does need it" Inuyasha replied solemnly.
"Yeah, Inuyasha, if you wouldn't mind, I think it would be best if you hid in the forest today if the backpack is indeed why she came back" Miroku said. Inuyasha nodded.
"Yeah, its probably too soon, i'll stay in the forest tonight" Inuyasha spoke as he left the hut. Shippo jumped up and hit Miroku on the head.
"Hey! What was that for?" Miroku yelled.
"Have you guys forgotten! It's the night of the new moon!" Shippo yelled. Sango and Miroku's eyes went wide and looked back at the entrance of the hut.

Inuyasha sat at the base of the god tree. He laughed to himself.
'Hehehe they forgot about tonight, its about time they did too, I like to be ALONE at this time' Inuyasha thought. He picked up Kagome's scent and knew how far she was; 'she will likely be at the hut by nightfall'.
