Hi people, I'm sorry it took so long to update I have been kind of busy. I still don't own Inuyasha, I wish I did but I don't. Hope you enjoy this chapter.


Giving up or Moving on?
Ch 9 school?

As soon as Kagome and Inuyasha got home Inuyasha went up to take a shower. He was still covered in mud from falling off of the horse. Kagome went up to his room and looked around. She saw a computer in the corner and didn't think Inuyasha would mind if she used it. She went over to it and sat down. It booted up really fast and when it turned on she saw that Inuyasha had her picture set as the wallpaper. "Whoa that's creepy," she said to no one but herself.

She signed online and was just checking her mail when Inuyasha came back in. He looked at her but didn't say anything, 'damn I wonder what she thought about my wallpaper.'

"Hi Inuyasha, I'm sorry I probably should have asked before I used your computer sorry," Kagome said. Inuyasha just laughed. "Don't worry about it, it's no big deal." Inuyasha said as he went and flopped down on his bed. Kagome laughed at him and said, "Um Inuyasha what is with the wallpaper?"

Inuyasha cringed and looked up to see that Kagome had minimized the document and her picture was showing. "Umm…. I just…. I um…. Well…. It's kinda…" Kagome laughed, "Never mind, it's not a big deal. Is this how you noticed the bruise?" She asked him while looking at the picture; she could clearly see the purple spot when it was blown up this big.

"Yeah it is," Inuyasha said. "Umm Kagome I gotta tell you something." Kagome closed the document again and turned around to face him. "Well in a couple of days I am supposed to be starting school again… my brother said that he would sign you up to go to my school with me but he can't unless he has your birth certificate. You don't happen to have it do you?"

Kagome was thinking, "I totally forgot about having to go to school. I actually do have my birth certificate with me. A copy of it anyways, I keep one in my wallet… strange yea I know but it was something my mom always said to do." She got up and walked over to her bag, which was still sitting on the floor, and she took out her wallet. She pulled out her birth certificate and handed it to Inuyasha.

"Wow, that was unexpected," he said as he took the paper. "Come on lets go see my brother about this. When they got down stairs they saw that Sesshomaru was talking to a man in the kitchen. "Yes, Kagome is her name. I know you are a lawyer and I need to find her. She is supposed to have come around this area," the man said.

Kagome gasped and turned to Inuyasha. He looked at her but didn't say anything. The two of them went back up to his room to talk. "Inuyasha that was my dad. What am I supposed to do now?" Kagome said once they got upstairs. She sat down on the bed and started to cry softly. Inuyasha went over and comforted her by putting his arm around her shoulders.

"Don't worry Kagome, Sesshomaru knows you are here but I already asked him not to say anything to anyone about you being here. He gave me his word so I don't think you have anything to worry about." Kagome looked up at him and smiled. Inuyasha got up and went to the window, he saw Kagome's dad pull away. "He's gone now Kagome we can go talk to Sesshomaru about what he was here for if you want." She nodded and the two of them went back downstairs.

When they got there Sesshomaru was sitting in a chair by the table not looking at anyone. "Hey Sesshy what was that about?" Sesshomaru looked up and saw Inuyasha with Kagome standing behind him.

"It was her father. He wanted to hire me to search for her. He said that she was kidnapped. Although I do know that was not the case. So all I have to do is look for clues on the kidnapper and we will be set. There is no kidnapper so there is nothing to worry about," he said to them with a slight smile. Kagome smiled back at him while Inuyasha was surprised that Sesshomaru had smiled.

"Well we need to sign her up for school like you said you would. She actually had her birth certificate," Inuyasha told him while holding out the paper Kagome had given him earlier. Sesshomaru took it and looked at it closely.

"Ok I will sigh you both up so be ready Monday for school," Sesshomaru said as he got up to leave. Once Sesshomaru was gone Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other.

"Do you have any idea how strange that was? He actually smiled at you," Inuyasha said with a small laugh. Kagome just laughed slightly but didn't reply. "So what are we going to do now?"

"I don't really care, I'm kind of tired so can we just watch a movie or something?" Kagome said. Inuyasha nodded and they went in the living room to pick out a movie. The two of them sat down on the couch and the movie came on. It was Return of the King. While they sat there Inuyasha noticed how tired Kagome looked. Inuyasha reached over and wrapped his arm around Kagome's shoulder pulling her up against him. She was a little startled at the unexpected motion but didn't say anything.

Kagome put her head on Inuyasha's shoulder and closed her eyes. Within a few seconds she was fast asleep. Inuyasha sat there thinking, 'why does she make me feel like this? I mean I knew I liked her from talking with her on the internet but I never expected to like her this much…' He watched the movie until it was done, well he more watched Kagome until the movie was done. He couldn't get enough of watching her sleep. It was so peaceful.

Once the movie was over Inuyasha gently shook Kagome, "Kag, wake up the movie is over, why don't you go to bed." She sat up and rubbed her eyes nodding slightly and getting up to go upstairs. Inuyasha followed her upstairs to make sure she didn't pass out on the stairs or something. Kagome climbed into Inuyasha's bed and fell asleep instantly.

Inuyasha stood for a minute and watched Kagome sleep again. Slowly he went over to the bed and kissed her on the forehead, he said, "goodnight my Kagome." Before heading back down stairs to sleep on the couch.
