Chapter 3

Kagome, Sango, & Kohaku go live with Inuyasha.

In the morning Kagome, Sango, and Kohaku missed the bus back to Kentucky.

"Oh man what are we going to do now?" asked Kagome looking at the bus schedule.

"Maybe we can ask Inuyasha for a ride home." said Kohaku.

"Good idea let's go see if they are still at the track." said Sango getting their bags.

When they got there Inuyasha just loaded Tetsusaiga and Lady Kikyo into the trailer. Then he closed the trailer and got read to get in the truck.

"Inuyasha wait can we ask you something?" asked Kagome as they ran up to the truck.

"Sure ask away." said Inuyasha looking a little happier from yesterday.

"We missed the bus to Kentucky and we were wondering if we could ride with you and Shippo?" asked Sango.

"Sure get in." said Inuyasha opening the truck's back doors.

Once back in Kentucky Kagome showed Inuyasha where they lived.

"Hmm you three live three miles away from my farm." said Inuyasha. reongnizeing the area.

When Inuyasha pulled up to Kagome's, Sango's, and Kohaku's house. They saw that the house burnt down. Sango, Kagome, and Kohaku got out to see what was left. All they found was their fire proof box that they kept money and important papers in. They are glad that their garage didn't burn down. Because Sango's and Kagome's car is in the garage. Inuyasha felt sorry for Sango, Kagome, and Kohaku.

"What are we going to do now Sango?" asked Kohaku looking at their burnt down home.

"I don't know Kohaku." said Sango shaking her head.

Inuyasha stood by his truck thinking until he said "you three can stay at my place." Inuyasha got in his truck and drove off. Kagome, Sango, and Kohaku follwed in their car. When Inuyasha pulled into his driveway Shippo got out and showed Sango where to park. Inuyasha parked near one of the three barns. One barn is for weanlings and yearlings, one for the horses in training, and one for mares and stallions. Inuyasha parked near the mare and stallion barn. Shippo went down to the trailer and unloaded Tetsusaiga. And Inuyasha unloaded Lady Kikyo.

"Did you show the girls to the rooms?" asked Inuyasha as he closed the trailer.

"Yes I did and sense ther are only two extra rooms Sango said Kohaku can stay with me." informed Shippo.

"Where are they now?" asked Inuyasha.

"They went to the mall to buy clothes." said Shippo leading Tetsusaiga to the training barn.

Inuyasha slowly led the limping Lady Kikyo to her new stall in the mare half of the barn. Shippo came into the barn and gave Inuyasha Lady kikyo's name plate from her old stall in the training barn. Then Shippo left the barn. Just then Inuyasha heard a car pull up near the barn. Then a man walked into the barn.

"Hey Inuyasha I saw the race how's Lady Kikyo?" asked the man with a worried look on his face.

"Miroku my man she's fine but she won't be raceing." said Inuyasha greeting his friend.

Miroku looked in Lady Kikyo's stall and that her entire left leg is in a cast. Inuyasha and Miroku have been friends sense they were three. So Miroku knows everything Inuyasha's been through. Inuyasha and Miroku sat by Lady Kikyo's stall and talked. He told Miroku about the races and about Kagome, Sango, and Kohaku.

"Man that's to bad. But I'm glad Tetsusaiga won." said Miroku standing up.

"Hi Inuyasha who is your friend?" asked Kagome as they came in the barn.

"Oh Kagome, Sango, Kohaku this is Miroku." said Inuyasha intorduceing his friend to the girls and Kohaku.

"Hello it's nice to meet you." said Miroku smiling.

It's now Decmber Lady Kikyo's stiches were removed. And her leg is no longer in a cast. Ever sense Lady kikyo's accident Inuyasha has has been takeing great care of Lady Kikyo. He would take her on longer and longer walks. Now Lady Kikyo is walks wothout limping. Sango and Miroku have gotten to know each other and are now dateing. Kagome and Inuyasha have only gotten to know each other.

"Inuyasha do you want to go christmas shopping with me?" asked Kagome.

Sango, Miroku, Kohaku, and Shippo already left in Miroku's car.

"Sure do you want to go in your car or my truck?" asked Inuyasha getting his and Kagome's keys.

"Let's take my truck theres more room in my truck." said Inuyasha leaving Kagome's keys on the table.

Once at the mall Inuyasha and Kagome agreed to meet each other at the food court at lunch time. Kagome had been shopping for five minutes when she ran into Shippo.

"Hey Shippo I'm glad I ran into you I have a question." said Kagome.

"Ask away Kagome." said Shippo.

"When Inuyasha goes on trail rides does he use a western saddle or an english saddle?" asked Kaogome.

"He uses a western saddle why?" asked Shippo scratching his head.

"Oh that's for me to know." said Kagome smiling.

Kagome left the mall and walked down the snow covered sidewalk. Then she went into a tack show. Kagome walked over to the western saddles. She looked at the saddles until she found the perfect one.

"Would you like this put in a box and wrapped?" asked the cashier.

"Yes please." said Kagome looking in her purse.

After buying the saddle Kagome returned to the mall and shopped until lunch time. She met Inuyasha at the food court. Inuyasha took all of their boxed and bags to his truck. Then he returned to the food court he and Kaome got a sub. Inuyasha and Kagome figures that Miroku, Sango, Kohaku, and Shippo had left. Because they haven't seen them in a while. They atr, drank, talked and laughed. After eating Inuyasha and Kagome went to go see a movie. It is dark when they got to the farm. After Kagome put all the gifts she bought in her room she whne to go find Inuyasha. She found him on the front porch looking at the full moon.

"Lovely night isn't it?" asked Kagome standing next to him.

"Yes it is." said Inuyasha softly.

"You know ever sense you, Sango, and Kohaku moved here I've become happier." he added with a smile.

Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other and started to move closer to each other. Soon Inuyasha's lips met Kagome's and they kissed passionately. Suddenly they both pushed away blushing.

"Um it's late I'm goning to bed." said Kagome blushing.

After Kaome went into the house Inuyasha went down to the mare and stalloin barn. When he went in the barn the horses that were awake looked to see who came in. Inuyasha went into Lady Kikyo's stall. Whenever he needed to talk to someone he trusted. He would go into Lady Kikyo's stall and talk to her. Lady Kikyo nickered softly when Inuyasha went into her stall. Inuyasha gave Lady Kikyo a hug then sat in the straw. Lady Kikyo walked over to Inuyasha and lowered her head as if to ask "whats the matter master?"

"Oh Lady Kikyo I just kissed Kagome on the lips." confessed Inuyasha.

Lady Kikyo looked at Inuyasha without makeing a sound. Inuyasha looked up until he met Lady Kikyo's gaze. He looked into Lady Kikyo's intelligen eyes and knew what she was trying to say. Inuyasha patted Lady Kikyo's head and sttod up. When he stood up he hugged Lady Kikyo again then het let himself out of her stall. The house is quite when he went in and went upstairs. He walked by his room and walked up to Kaomge's room. Her door is closed and it looked like there was no light on. So Inuyasha turned around and went back to his room. In the morning after breakfast everybody went to the barns. Sense it's winter Kagome and Sango are ni charge of putting blankets on the horses. And take them outside and put them in their pastures.

Inuyasha and Shippo muck out stalls and clean tack. When Sango and Kagome are done putting horses outside. They go stall to stall in all three barns and give the horses fresh grain and hay. Kagome and Sango start in the weanling-yearling barn then they go the training barn. They always go to the mare and stallion barn last. Once Inuyasha and Shippo were done mucking out stalls. They went into the mare and stallion barn sat down and started cleaning tack. When Sango and Kagome came into the barn Inuyasha asked "Kagome can I talked to you in my office?" Kagome and Inuyasha went into a small room he used as an office.

"Kagome I'm sorry if I was to foward last night." said Inuyasha with a sorry look on his face.

"No you weren't I guess that kiss just surprised me." reasured Kagome.

"Ok I'm glad to hear it." said Inuysha with a smile.

Inuyasha and Kagome left his office and went back to thier chores.
