Inuyasha was still wiping the dirt of his face from Kagome's "sit" command.

(Flashback)

"It's not like I wanted to do it to ya." Said Inuyasha

"What's that supposed to mean?" (They are referring to their kiss to transform Inuyasha back into a hanyou)

"Nothing, but you're the one who kinda . . . forced yourself on me!"

"Inuyasha! Sit, boy!"

"Inuyasha, grow up will ya?" Shippo stated more than asked.

(End Flashback)

He made a deep sigh. 'Not that I didn't enjoy it.' He shook the thought from his head. 'What's she mad at me for? It's not like it's MY fault she did it.' He just kept repeating this to himself until he, hopefully, started feeling better.

Kagome was stomping off, and her face must have been as bright as Inuyasha's haori. "Baka Inuyasha, he's such a jerk, why do I put up with him?" She continued stomping ahead of the group.

By the tenth time Inuyasha repeated his thoughts, he already started feeling some remorse, not a lot, but some. 'If I hadn't transformed back there, she wouldn't have had to do that.' Inuyasha looked at the locket Kagome had given him, and it had their pictures in it. He heaved another heavy sigh. "This little thing is the reason that I was able to free Kagome from Kaguya." (Miroku and Sango explained that things from Kagome's time make the wearer immune to the time freeze Kaguya had enacted) "That girl never ceases to amaze me." He sped up to catch up with Kagome.

"Kagome"

"Sit"

THUD

Inuyasha was now, once again, face down in a smoking crater.

Kagome turned around, eager to give a well-deserved rapid fire "sit" to the now helpless Inuyasha, but stopped when she saw what he had in his hand.

It was her locket, one she made for him with pictures from her time, the one that enabled Inuyasha to save her. She flushed even redder, if it were possible. Waiting to regain her complection and composure, she watched as Inuyasha stuffed the locket into his shirt.

"That was hardly necessary, Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Why are you always like that? Why can't you grow up for a change?" They were both yelling now.

"What do you mean 'Grow up'? You're the one who always 'sits' me!"

"That's because . . . you just don't get it, do you?"

"What is it I'm supposed to 'Get', Kagome?"

Kagome's face softened to a sad frown. "Nothing, Inuyasha, just forget about it"

Inuyasha had braced himself to meet the ground, but he was more than surprised at her reaction to his words.

"Inuyasha?"

"What?" He said in a rather confused voice.

"Back in the castle, when you said you would stay a hanyou, just for me."

(Flashback)

After the kiss . . .

"Kagome, what're you doing? You could've gotten really hurt. I'll stay a hanyou a while longer, just for you."

"Thank you, Inuyasha."

(End Flashback)

"Would you really do that for me?"

Inuyasha was taken aback. "Where you telling the truth when you said you loved me as a hanyou?" His voice was soft, as if he were afraid of the answer.

"I've never been more serious about anything in my whole life" She took Inuyasha's hand. He hesitated.

After a pause, he clasped her hand. "Yes, Kagome, I'll stay a hanyou, just for you."

Those words filled Kagome with a joy she could hardly contain, but she managed. "Let's go, Inuyasha"

"Lead the way"

The group walked off, Kagome and Inuyasha holding hands, Miroku with a hand print on his face after several lecherous comments, and Sango smiling after them.
