Annie: It's touching? Really? I never thought it was touching but I'm glad you like it!

Ryine Kuriso To'oname: Hee well here you go!

Yana5: Yes and here it is! It's a bit shorter but still good; I think…I'm glad that you love it!

celena/kagome: Three reviews in a row? Thank you! KagomesandemonInuYasha still have the lead with eight reviews though. Maybe someone will break that?

Dark-Dragon-Chick: You gave me this in business class? Ha! That's interesting…I never got a review from someone in school before…thanks for it though!

Raithya: Ah, I've been there...I try to make this story a little bit funny with a bit of emotional parts. Great that you like it! Thanks! (hugs you)

(Gasps) 39 reviews? I'm going to faint! I never though the story would be that good…wow you guys are the best!

Sorry bout the late update. I hope this will make up for it!

"You traveled all the way from your village to here? Wow that's a long way?"

Sango had asked Inuyasha so many questions, he thought his head would surly explode. He had told her everything. From his mother being sick to him getting here, all except him being a half-demon of course.

The three sat in front of a fire drinking tea that Sango had made for them along with a nice warm meal. Shippo and Kirara were still hiding in Mitsubishi's pack but Inuyasha opened it a little so they'd have enough room to breathe and move around. Mitsubishi would hand them bits from his meal which they devoured instantly.

Mitsubishi watched his fingers in case he would lose one to those demon's teeth.

Miroku was starting to get aggravated that Sango was paying more attention to Inuyasha then him. He had to make a move fast!

"I would go to the end of the world for you Sango" he declared while holding her hands. A vein popped in the young woman's head and she slapped the monk, leaving a pink hand print on his cheek.

Inuyasha put his face in his hand while Mitsubishi tried to hold in his laughter.

"I deserved that," Miroku confessed.

"You sure did, you hentai. Kagome should be here any minute Inuyasha. If you want I could take you to her house"

Inuyasha nodded, "Thanks"

The gates opened as Kagome came back from the forest.

The thought of the priestess was still swirling in her mind. Though she tried to forget, the thought of her being the priestess's reincarnation kept coming back. Maybe if she got home and had a nice cup of tea she'd forget. Kagome sighed, "Let's hope"

"I'm home!" she yelled as she entered though the sliding door of Higurashi house hold. She threw her bow and quiver on the floor and walked toward the kitchen.

When she entered the kitchen she shivered. There was an eerie quite in this house, she sometimes wished that she could have some peace and quite but this was just pushing it. "Mama? Grandpa? Souta?" she called.

To her relief she heard footsteps come into the kitchen fallowed by her brother. "Kagome come here! I want to show you something!"

Kagome rolled her eyes and fallowed Souta into the living room, "Fine Souta but it better not be another animal. I don't want to wash my clothes…again"

Her brain froze when she noticed what she saw in the living room. Her mother, grandfather, and Sango were standing beside her friend who she thought was dead. It was Inuyasha, and he was smiling at her.

Was she dreaming? She rubbed her eyes. No she wasn't.

Still not sure if her eyes were playing tricks she said, "I-Inuyasha?"

The boy smiled and walked up to her. Kagome's eyes widened when she realized it was him. She could never forget those honey colored eyes. Before she knew it, tears were falling off her cheeks and she was hugging Inuyasha. "I thought you were dead, the letter…"

Inuyasha was still in shock of Kagome hugging him. He never thought she would miss him that much. "I was gone long before our village was destroyed and besides, I had a promise that I couldn't break"

Kagome smiled and wiped her cheeks from her tears then frowned when she saw his wet kimono. "I got your kimono all wet"

Inuyasha smirked then hugged her tighter. "That's the Kagome I remember. Caring for everyone else's needs except her own"

Kagome giggled at how true his statement was.

"Inuyasha came here all the way from the old village and met two other interesting people along the way" her mother said, seeing that their moment was over. Kagome blinked. So those were the unfamiliar men.

The oldest one came up to her and bowed, "I am Mitsubishi the sorcerer," he snapped his fingers and a bouquet of flowers appeared in his hand. Kagome gasped and took the beautiful bouquet from the old mans hand. Inuyasha snorted, 'Show off'

Mitsubishi glared at him and Inuyasha flinched.

Next Miroku came up and kissed her hand. Inuyasha growled. "Pleasure to meet you, Kagome. I'm Miroku the monk and let me say, if you weren't with Inuyasha right now, I'd take you myself"

Kagome giggled as a blush crept on to her cheeks. "Miroku" Inuyasha growled through clenched teeth. Miroku held his hands up in defense, "Just stating the truth"

When Kagome stopped giggling she looked over to Inuyasha, "You have an interesting bunch of friends"

He snorted, "Strange is more like it"

WHAM!

Kagome blinked when her friend fell to the floor with a big bump on his head. "After the hundredth one, I thought you'd learn by now pup!" snapped Mitsubishi. Miroku sighed while shaking his head in pity, "He's pretty dense"

Mitsubishi nodded, "I couldn't agree more. Kagome, would you be so kind as to walk with this old man over to your family?" He walked over to her and held out his arm. She took it and gave Inuyasha an apologetic smile before walking off with Mitsubishi.

Inuyasha shook his head. He didn't know who was more of a womanizer. Miroku or Mitsubishi? He'd have to figure that out later, right now he wanted to talk to Kagome.

Though he tried to talk to her, getting to her was even harder. Every time he tried to get close, someone would get there before him. What was this? Ignore Inuyasha day?

Frustrated he went outside, slamming the sliding door behind him.

Kagome noticed this and felt bad. Squeezing through she made it to the door and went outside to look for Inuyasha.

She found him sitting at the bank of the river. She crept over and sat down beside him.

He had already heard her coming and didn't bother to look up and kept staring at the sparkling water. Though he tried his best to hide his sadness Kagome could see right through him like she always had when they were little. "Why are you out here Inuyasha?" she asked.

He snorted, "I wanted to get some fresh air"

Kagome nodded saying that she understood but really she knew that wasn't the reason. Inuyasha wasn't finished, "And you looked like you didn't need me. You were happier with your friends"

Kagome never expected this.

"I would just be getting in the way"

She frowned, "No you wouldn't" She rested her head on Inuyasha's shoulders, like she did on the night when he transformed in front of her. Inuyasha inhaled sharply and his cheeks turned red.

"You came all this way just to find me and not break a promise. No other friend has ever done that for me"

"But I'm a half-demon"

Kagome shook her head, "No you are unique and I love you for that. Also because," she stopped only to put her hand underneath the bandana and rub Inuyasha's ears, "you have dog ears"

A low rumble could be heard from his throat. Kagome laughed, "Inuyasha are you, purring?"

The sound stopped and he glared at her, "That was not a purr Kagome, that was a growl"

She smiled, "Right, now let's get back inside. I'm getting cold"

Inuyasha noticed at she was indeed cold and took off the top part of his haroi. "Here" he said as he gave her the shirt. Kagome blinked but took the haroi, "Thanks Inuyasha"

He blushed but snorted, "Ya ya, now c'mon. I don't want you to catch a cold"

Kagome nodded and they both walked back to the house, side by side.
