I had this chapter typed and it seems like I'm going to have to rewrite the whole thing, since it deleted on me. Now that I have to write the chapter a second time it won't be as good as it was the first time. Sorry about that. I had a whole thing about what happened to them in jail.

Chapter 17: Undecided...

Inuyasha sat completely bored. Kagome was leaned against him sleeping. They had to sleep on the bench sitting up. He was used to sitting up and sleeping, but he didn't think that Kagome liked it very much.

Everyone else in the cell was sleeping. Inuyasha wondered if the place was allowed to put them in the same cell as criminals. He didn't think it was. He didn't mind. It's not like they, or anyone else in this time period. He wasn't worried for himself, but the other innocents in the cell.. he didn't know so much. Inuyasha could only hope for the best.

Inuyasha thought it over and realized it actually was his fault that him and Kagome were stuck in this mess. Kizoku was probably going crazy with worry. Inuyasha could only hope she didn't go into a nervous breakdown...

Meanwhile

Kizoku circled the living room. 'Where could they be?' Her only guess was that Inuyasha and Kagome were staying out late fighting something. She had no idea what was actually going on.

"They should know to be back by now. It's getting really late."

"I knew that this Inuyasha would be a bad influence on Kagome. He's keeping her out past hours now? This is going to far." Shin announced. Mrs. Higurashi spared him a single glance and than continued her worrying. "We should call the police."

"No." Mrs. Higurashi said looking at her husband. "Inuyasha can take care of Kagome. The police can't do anything for them. It would be a waste to call them. They're not in danger... at least I don't think. Inuyasha is stronger than any of the humans around here."

"Not all of them."

"You've never seen what Inuyasha can do if that's what you think."

"I had always planned on approving of Kagome's man... maybe an arranged marriage, or something of the sort..."

"Gods.. enough. Inuyasha is fine for her. He'll protect her, take care of her, and most importantly... love her. He's all I could have ever asked for in a man that Kagome weds."

"It would help if he was human."

"Stop. Inuyasha is a fine half demon."

"I'm not saying he's otherwise. It's just if they were to eventually have children... their kids would have demon in them and how are demon children going to get along in this world."

"Who said anything about them living in this world. Inuyasha will not leave the feudal era behind. I'm assuming they're going to build their home their."

"500 years in the past! Don't be foolish. Kagome can't leave behind her own time and family..."

"The feudal era is her time now. I've come to live with it, so should you. She comes and visits every so often. It's not like she'll never see us again. She'll come and see us just like she would if she lived in this time. It's not such a big deal."

"There are demons all over that time."

"She's still alive isn't she?" Kizoku explained. "She'll do fine. Her and Inuyasha will be happy and that's what matters."

"Mom... dad.." Sota came walking down stairs with sleepy eyes. He was awoken by his parents conversation being so loud. "What's going on? Where's Kagome and Inuyasha?"

"They're... they'll be home soon. So just go on back to bed, alright?" Mrs. Higurashi informed. Sota yawned, nodded and head back up the steps to his bedroom.

"We'll have to keep our voices down." Shin said stating the obvious. "Maybe we should just go to bed and hope to see them in the morning."

"No. I'll stay up all night if I have to."

The next morning

Shin and Kizoku slept soundly, leaned against one another on the couch. The sun had just risen and it shun upon their faces.

Kizoku moved a little. The phone was than heard ringing. At the sound of the ring Kizoku and Shin jumped up in shock.

"Oh gods..." Kizoku grabbed the telephone. "Hello." She greeted breathlessly.

"Mom."

"Kagome! Where are you? Where's Inuyasha? Are you alright? Where have you been all night? Why haven't you called!"

"Mom, calm down. Me and Inuyasha are fine. I didn't call because I couldn't."

"What do you mean... 'you couldn't?'" Mrs. Higurashi became suspicious.

"We're in jail..."

"WHAT!"

"What's going on?" Asked Shin. Kizoku stuck her hand in his face, signaling him to be quit.

"Why are you in jail?"

"JAIL!" Shin was shocked.

"It's not what you think." Kagome began. It's really not Inuyasha's or my fault. We were just at the wrong place at the wrong time." Kagome continued taking a breath. "The teachers were having a protest and Inuyasha took a sign and protested, not knowing what he was doing. Some teachers broke the school windows and the cops came. I went to Inuyasha and by that time the cops were taking people. They got me and Inuyasha and we had to stay the day and night, because so many people were going to need to use the phone they couldn't finish all the phone calls in one day. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Now please come get us at the county jail."

Mrs. Higurashi let all of the information Kagome just threw at her sink in. She sighed. She was glad it was nothing to serious that they were in jail for. All she would have to do it talk to the policeman and get her daughter and son in law out of there.

"Alright, Kagome. I'll come down there. Be ready."

"I will. Thanks so much mom."

Both of them hung up the phone.

"So.. did she say what she was doing there?" Shin asked.

"I'll explain later. I have to go and bail them out. Wait here."

"I'm coming." Shin insisted.

"No.. I can't have you jumping to conclusions and blaming this all on Inuyasha like you have been doing."

"I have not." Kizoku gave him a look like 'there's no use in lying. He shrunk back a little. "Much."

"I'm going. Can you start breakfast for Sota and Inuyasha and Kagome when they get back?" Kizoku left.

On The Drive Home

Inuyasha sat in the back seat with his arms crossed as Kagome and his mother and law sat up front.

Kagome's neck was stiff. She had slept the wrong way. She couldn't wait to get home. She was starving and felt like relaxing. School was going to be closed for who knows how long. They would have to wait until the teachers stopped the protest. She hoped it would be to long. All of the school that was taken off for these types of situations took days off of their spring and summer vacations.

"I can't believe you guys couldn't call sooner. I stayed up almost all night waiting for you two." Mrs. Higurashi said as she kept her eyes on the road.

"Either can I." Kagome replied in a bored tone. She sort of dreaded seeing her father. He would be disappointed in her and she was sure he didn't know the whole story yet, which meant her would bug them until he knew. She left it to her mother to explain.

I know that was sort of a short chapter... but what can I say... I could think of anything else to write for this particular chapter. Forgive me.
