Chapter 15

Shippou first held out a folded piece of paper. Kagome took it and unfolded it to see what was written inside. Once the paper was unfolded it contained a drawing on it. Kagome gasped and she just loved Shippou's drawings. The drawing showed Shippou and Kagome together as if it was a photo of them. Kagome hugged Shippou tightly and finally let go.

"I made something else too. Well I exactly fixed it" Shippou exclaimed as he dug through his pockets.

Finally he found the object and extracted it from his pocket. Kagome's face went blank and Inuyasha's face expressed fear.

"Oh Shippou you shouldn't have" Kagome put on her fake smile. "I don't think Inuyasha is going to be happy about this. Considering Inuyasha finally got rid of it" Kagome mumbled.

Shippou was holding the prayer beads that bewitched Inuyasha for so long. Inuyasha back up and was afraid to be subdued again.

"Get that damn thing away from me!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Pipe down" Kagome ordered. "Kaede do the honors" Kagome whispered to the elderly woman.

Kaede took the prayer beads away and began to chant.

"Kaede what are you doing?" Inuyasha nervously asked.

The prayer beads began to glow and then instantly disappeared from Kaede's hands. The necklace appeared around Inuyasha's neck. Inuyasha began to freak out. He groaned and growled and cursed at it. He constantly tugged on it.

"Sit!" Kagome felt better.

"What was that for?" Inuyasha asked after he slammed into the floor.

"Just making sure it works" Kagome simply said.

"I didn't want you back so that you can do this to me again" Inuyasha protested.

"Come on a get up. I want to eat something. I'm hungry" Kagome smiled hard.

"Okay" Inuyasha got up and stretched his stiff body.

"I'm glad you're back, Kagome. I thought for sure you weren't going to come back" Sango was relieved. "You know Kohaku is doing a lot better since we broke the spell on him" Sango mentioned her brother.

"I'm glad Sango that you got your brother back. What Naraku did was so cruel. I'm glad he's gone for good this time" Kagome gladly said.

"Thanks Kagome. That means a lot to me" Sango thanked Kagome. "Why in the first place did you run away? I don't understand. We are your friends" Sango asked.

"I was afraid. I was afraid of losing Inuyasha forever and never seeing you guys again" Kagome admitted for the one millionth time.

"Trust me you aren't going to lose us or Inuyasha. We will always be there for you" Sango reassured the girl from the future.

"Thank you Sango for every thing. I know that now" Kagome sighed. "So are you going back to the demon slayer's village tomorrow?" Kagome asked.

"Probably. Kohaku and I have a lot of repairing to do there. We repaired some of the houses and fields before we got kidnapped by Prince Sekanta. We decided to bring homeless people to our village. We thought we could make the village alive instead of a ghost village" Sango stood up.

"Hey that's great. You won't be the only ones there then" Kagome stood up as well. "Maybe you can ask Miroku to move into your village" Kagome smirked.

"Heck no! He'll be all over the women and the only thing I would be able to do is watch. I can't have him in my village" the demon slayer denied it as she blushed like a cherry blossom.

"Excuse me ladies but I was looking for a priestess named Kagome" a man in a well dressed in a kimono interrupted the two girls argument.

"I'm Kagome. What do you want with me?" Kagome was puzzled.

The well dressed man walked over to Kagome and held her hand. He then knelt down while still holding her hand. Kagome began to blush and wasn't aware what was going to happen.

"Kagome, I have heard of your travels and how beautiful you were. I just had to see you with my own eyes and realized that the stories were true. You really are a beautiful maiden and I would be honored to marry a woman like you. My name is Komotsu, I come from a wealthy family and would protect you from danger" Komotsu explained.

"Marriage! I don't even know you and you're asking me to marry you. You just can't expect someone you've just met to marry you. You seem like a really nice guy but I can't marry you. You really don't know me even though you think so" Kagome rejected.

"I understand so I have repaired my things to travel with you. We can get to know one another and then think about my proposal" Komotsu determined.

"Is this guy for real? He just expects me to say yes and be with a guy I just met a few minutes ago? Inuyasha I need your help about right now" Kagome thought while still panicking from the whole proposal. "It's just like when Sango was asked to marry a lord that she barely knew" the memory of Sango's first proposal.

"What the hell is going on out here?" Inuyasha stormed out of the hut.

Inuyasha noticed that the girls weren't alone. He saw a man his height, with dirty blond hair, blue eyes like the sky, with dimples, and a white kimono with designs on it. Inuyasha instantly got jealous when he learned the reason why the man had come. Kagome pulsed with anger and kept repeating how she felt about this. Inuyasha just wouldn't listen to reason. Komotsu smiled a little every time he saw or heard Inuyasha's reactions towards this. Komotsu was up to no good if you can't tell. Miroku wasn't so happy and kept his eye on the wealthy man in the room. Sango wasn't so happy about this just as much as Miroku and Inuyasha were. Shippou was sort of happy seeing that Komotsu won't hurt Kagome like Inuyasha does. Darkness took over the night and a strong eerie wind picked up as well. The trees rustled in the wind and the fallen leaves danced on the ground every time the wind would blow. Sometimes the leaves would become small tornadoes twirling all around.

"You can stay the night but you are going back tomorrow" Inuyasha decided.

"Well at least he isn't making you go home tonight" Kagome put on her fake smile.

"Yeah lucky me" Komotsu gulped with nervousness.

The gang soon fell asleep besides Inuyasha. He couldn't but help look over Kagome all night. He also couldn't but help think about Komotsu's proposal to Kagome. He thought he would be the one to ask Kagome to marry him even though he is a demon and she is a human. The more he thought about it the more he became angry. He then clutched his fists and his blood began to boil with jealousy and hate. Kagome woke up by hearing Inuyasha's little fit. Kagome then sat up and looked over to Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha what are you doing up at this hour?" Kagome was still half asleep.

"I just couldn't sleep" Inuyasha technical wasn't lying but just leaving out the details.

How could he sleep knowing a man they've never met wanted to marry his Kagome?

"Is there something bothering you?" Kagome asked in concern with her eye lids closed half way.

"It's nothing! Just go back to bed" Inuyasha raised his voice a little above a whisper.

"Is it because of Komotsu and his proposal? I already told you that I don't want to marry the guy. I don't even know the guy and how can I marry him if I don't even love him?" Kagome tightened her fists in frustration.

"I know that but I just trust the damn bastard" Inuyasha exclaimed.

Kagome giggled and then began to talk again "Inuyasha are you jealous?"

"Why should I be jealous of that guy?" Inuyasha was denying his feelings for Kagome.

"Inuyasha stop denying it! You…you…never mind. You're the one to be going to sleep" Kagome couldn't spit out the words.

"Whatever" with that Inuyasha and Kagome fell asleep again.

Morning came and the sun was beating down on the world around making everything bright. Birds were chirping, squirrels racing one another, and bees a buzzin'.

The grass was moist just like every morning and the sun shone over the lakes and rivers. Kagome had agreed to go swimming with Sango that day. Sango didn't have a bathing suit so Kagome had gotten her one. The girls went swimming and chatted about things. The boys were up and Komotsu was missing that morning but no one noticed. Few minutes later Inuyasha realized the wealthy guy was missing.

"Maybe he listened to you and went home. You must have scared him for proposing to Kagome" Miroku smirked.

"Probably, hey were didn't Kagome and Sango go anyway?" Inuyasha looked around.

"Come on Sango you can do it!" Kagome encouraged the demon slayer.

Sango was blowing up a water raft and was getting light headed. She was running out of breath but kept going. A minute passed and Sango finished blowing up the raft. She placed it in the water and was amazed it was actually floating. Kagome already had her raft blown up and they were floating in the water. Sango soon became very fond of the raft and was given sun glasses as well.

"Wow Kagome you have the coolest things that a girl can have. I love this bathing suit too" Sango complement Kagome.

Kagome had given Sango a two piece bathing suit that was purple with flower designs on it. She also had purple sun glasses that matched her suit. Kagome also had a two piece bathing suit but the color was green with white stripes in different places. They didn't go all around but ended almost in the middle and there wasn't too many or it would ruin the design. Kagome had matching sun glasses to match her suit as well. They mostly talked about how they were going to live in the future.

"So Kagome, Komotsu is a hunk if you know what I mean. You should get to know him and then think about marriage" Sango suggested.

"I don't want to marry the guy for the one hundredth time. I love some one else anyway" Kagome blushed a little and it was not sun burn.

"And this some one might be Inuyasha" Sango turned her head to see Kagome glowing red.

"Maybe" Kagome shook in embarrassment.

"Don't you mean yes?" Sango smirked.

"Just stop okay? It doesn't matter. I don't want to marry Komotsu end of story. Nothing else" Kagome tried to get rid of the conversation. "Do you want some sun block?" Kagome was changing the subject.

"What's sun block?" Sango lifted her sun glasses and pulled them back into her hair.

"It's special cream you put on when you don't want to get sun burn. Sun burn is when the sun makes your skin all red and when you touch it, it burns. After that, couple days later your skin begins to peal. It's pretty disgusting if you ask me" Kagome explained.

"Okay" Sango quickly put the cream on her hand and began to smooth it out on her skin.

Miroku was spying on the girls and saw Sango put something on her legs. He watched her as she rubbed the cream on her legs. The cream now made her legs shine and glimmer in the sun. Miroku began to drool and couldn't but help stare at Sango's flawless body.
