Kinda short this week, but eh.

InuYasha tapped his foot impatiently. "Dammit! When the hell are Miroku and Sango gonna show up?" "Oh, relax InuYasha." Kagome commanded for what seemed like the fifth time that day. "We finally have some down time and a roof over our heads, why not enjoy it?" She suggested, turning back to her book.

"Keh. I'm going for a walk." He said jamming his hands in his pockets. Kagome watched him stalk out. "Oh well." She muttered, putting down the book and stretching out on the couch.

When she woke up, it was dark and InuYasha was still out. Unable to fall back asleep, Kagome's thoughts drifted to the picture she had seen not four hours ago.

'Who was that woman? InuYasha knows her, and from his reaction to that video, he isn't happy to see her.. but.. but why does he keep that picture? Why was that picture taken? When did he know her? Who WAS she?'

'Who ever she is, she's prolly the only thing I ever seen get InuYasha so riled. Not that he ever shows much emotion. Hell, the only time he acts human is when he thinks he's alone.'

'Wonder what relationship he had with her, they had to of been attracted to each other at some point. Damn, why does that thought get me down? Anyway, back on topic, he didn't look happy to see her last time.. Hell he looked.. well I never actually saw his face.. but he wasn't angry, he stays calm when he's angry. Damn, who was she?'

'He acted like this once before.. where... shit.. it was a while ago.. right when we first met.. ah fuck I can't remember. I can't ask him about it.. shit. Well.. he'll get over it.'

Just then InuYasha wandered through the door, a smug grin on his face. "And what are you so happy about?" she asked, not getting up. He merely gestured toward the door and leaned against the wall.

Sango stalked in, clearly angered, and walked right past Kagome into the bedroom, slamming the door behind her. Kagome's head shifted back to the door, where InuYasha was still smirking as Miroku stumbled in, bewildered and with a very red cheek.

"What did I did do?" He cried. "Oh I don't know, maybe grab her ass?" InuYasha mocked. "I was proving a point!" "How the hell were you proving a point by grabbing her ass?" Kagome shook her head and leaned it back against the arm rest of the couch.

"So, anyway, can we leave now?" InuYasha asked the next morning. "Gah, why are you so anxious to leave?" "Because every day we're here is a day were not collecting jewel shards!" "Well let's at least let Kaede know were going, and we'll leave later, okay?" "Fine, Godamn lazy bitch.." "WHAT?"

Sango and Miroku shook their heads as the fight escalated. "Well, shall we go see Kaede?" Miroku offered. Sango agreed, the two left the feuding youths.

The two left the apartment and cut across town to find the old woman. When they found her, she was talking to an old man, who was as short as she was. "Ah, Sango, Miroku" she said as they entered. We have a visitor, this is Totosai, and he wishes to speak to InuYasha."

The two youths and two seniors returned to the apartment to find the debate had ended. InuYasha sat on the couch glancing nervously at the closed bedroom door.

"So.. how'd it go? She pregnant yet?" Miroku asked girinning. InuYasha whipped the clicker at his head. Miroku chuckled as it went wide.

Sango's fist, however, did not go wide. She shut Miroku up with a sharp smack to the head. "Are you InuYasha?" The old man asked bluntly. "What of it old man?" "Do you still have Tetsaigia?" "Who the fuck are you?"

The old man puffed up his chest. "I'm the man who made Tetsiagia." "Yeah?" InuYasha asked in excitement), standing. "Then you know how it works?" "Of course, better than anyone." "Great! I need to know something. My brother did somethin crazy with it, like shot a yellow beam of light or somethin, how'd the hell he do that?"

"Ah, you must mean The Windscar." "So ya can teach me how to use it?" "Yes.. but it will take time and practice).." "Great!" InuYasha stode over to the bedroom door and banged on it. "Kagome! We're staying a few extra days!"

The next day Kagome sat watching TV. InuYasha was off somewhere with Totosai, and Kagome was trying to remember when she had seen InuYasha first show emotion.

'It was like after we had met.. some one else was there.. Kaede! Kaede was there.. and she did what.. she was convincing him the jewel was real and she gave him a report... and told him to look at the name.' Kagome sprung from the couch and ran out to find Kaede.

"Kaede do you still have that report you showed InuYasha about the jewel when we first came here?" The old woman racked her brain. "Why, yes I believe I still have it somewhere, why do ye ask?" "No reason, I just wanna look at it." "Very well, follow me." Kaede said leading her to the room where she had talked to them the first time. "It's somewhere in this desk, I would love to help, but I have work to do, if you'll excuse me." She said leaving.

Kagome began hastily pulling out drawers, searching for the report. She found it in the bottom drawer, she opened it quickly and scanned through it.

'Jewel.. power.. evil.. avoid.. AH here we go, signed.. Kikyo. Kikyo. That's a girl's name.'
