Waking up first like always Inuyasha is greeted by the bright dawn sunlight... "GOOD MORNING YASHA FACE!"...and a very energetic little girl. "Can we start fishing now?"
"What the hell?" Inuyasha asked loudly
(gasp) "Yasha don't curse!" Kagome shouted
"What's wrong Inuyasha?" Shippo asked sleepily
"What do you mean 'what's wrong'? Kagome is what's wrong'?
"How so, Inuyasha?" Miroku asked getting up.
"HELLO? What are you blind and stupid? Kagome she's still a little girl!"
Once the group was fully awake and wiping the sleep outta there eyes they were able to see that Inuyasha was right; a still small and cheerful little Kagome was still bouncing around. Shippo being fully awake now walks over to the girl and pokes her in her side. "Yep she's real!"
Kagome just giggled and poke Shippo back, "Of course I'm real silly!" While Shippo and Kagome were still having poking fight, Inuyasha grabbed Sango and Miroku outside to talk,
"Miroku, Sango why is she still a little kid? I thought you said she'd be back to normal in three days!"
"Perhaps she will return around the afternoon time Inuyasha..." Miroku stated
"Yes, remember Inuyasha it wasn't until late afternoon that Kagome may have made that wish, so maybe it'll just take that long.
"I hope so."
When the adult walked back in the hut, they saw in awe that Kagome's and Shippo's poking game turned into a pitching war.
"I really hope so..."
20 minutes later
"NO NO NO! You gotta wait til it's close enough THEN leap for it!" Inuyasha yelled at Kagome TRYING to teach her how to fish, he went as far as standing in the water with her and catching a few fish for her. Sitting in a nearby tree he could see all the fish swimming and Kagome scaring them away.
"I'm sorry but they're right there and-"
"So patience is a virtue."
"Huh?"
"Be patient and wait dammit!
(sigh) "Yasha stop yell-(gasp) what's that?" Kagome grabbed her arms and shivered in the water. Inuyasha jumped out of the tree and landed in the water with Kagome, he grasped her arms,
"Whats what?"
"I'm not sure, it's a strange feeling. Kinda like something is covering my body with something. I felt it before when that wolf guy was here."
'She must sense a jewel shard' Inuyasha stood up and looked around, then sniffed the air, he didn't smell Koga coming, but something else was, "Kagome where is the feeling coming from?" she pointed in the direction of Inuyasha's forest "Kagome go to the others and tell them to find me and then I want you to take Shippo and hid in the hut. Got it?"
"What going on?"
"Never mind that, just go!" Inuyasha yelling before running for the forest.
With The Others
"It's almost noon, maybe we should check on Kagome and Inuyasha to see-"
"HELP! Uncle Miroku, Aunty Sango! HELP!" Kagome shouted
"What wrong?" the asked at the same time.
"Yasha...needs...help...demon...forest..." she said panting
"Right! Come on Miroku!" Sango commanded, she grabbed her Hiraikotsu off the side of the hut and running after Miroku.
"But what about us?" Shippo asked
"We're suppose to stay in the hut an-OW! ARG!" Kagome held tightly to her side, she landed on her knees as she dropped to the ground in pain.
"KAGOME!"
In Inuyasha's Forest
"BASTARD!" Inuyasha said dodging another attack
"I WANT THOSES SHARDS!" yelling the demon, it was another centipede demon that appeared, apparently it was the sister of the first demon they had fought before and now she was seeking revenge.
"Not a chance,wind scar!" Inuyasha shouted only to miss because the centipede buried it's body under ground. "DAMMIT where'd it get to?"
"LOOKING FOR ME?" the lady centipede said coming back up out of the ground, biting Inuyasha in the side then tossing him the air.
"Hiraikotsu!" was heard before the demon's lower body was cut off. "Inuyasha are you okay?"
"Just peachy! I love to get flung into the air!" he spat. Miroku helped Inuyasha get up and stood in front of him to stop him from fighting for a minute.
"No need to be rude." Miroku said standing the two on the ground.
"GIVE ME THOSE SHARDS!" shouted the demon once again. This demon used her arm to crawl over to Sango for taking her legs away.
"No! WIND TUNNEL!" Miroku shouted, he pushed Sango out of the way and opened his wind tunnel. The demon again buried herself in the ground, but her lower body was instantly sucked in.
"You baka!" grabbing Miroku's hand "Don't suck up the jewel too!"
"I didn't know..." Miroku re wrapped his hand and reached for his staff, he ran over to help Sango get up. "I'm sorry I was so rough, forgive me?
"It's fine, thank you..." Sango rubbed her head and readied her Hiraikotsu again. The three of them were in a circle with their back facing each other waiting for this demon to make her move. "Without Kagome we can't know where the demon is!"
"Yea I know. Outta the way!" Inuyasha went to the hole where the centipede was last seen, he dug the sword in the hole and twisted it, "WIND SCAR!" The ground erupted as slabs of dirt and rocks lifted off the ground and into the air, the attacked reached so far into the earth it brought up the rest of the centipede demon.
"YOU SHALL PAY!" the demon was about to strike down at Inuyasha, when she stopped suddenly in the air. She looked down and saw an arrow in between her breast, her screams of terror halted when she blew until pieces.
"What the hell?" Inuyasha asked as the smoked cleared, when he landed back on the ground he sheathed Tetsusaiga and looked in the direction from where the arrow came.
"Inuyasha...didn't I say stop cursing?" said a big and older Kagome from behind the smoke, with a Shippo on her shoulders.
"KAGOME YOUR BACK!" Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku shouted. Sango was the first to tackle Kagome in a hug, then Miroku. Inuyasha held back the urge and just stood in the clearing, "Feh, it's about time..."
Kagome was so excited to be older and taller again, not just that but now she was able to help her friends again. She walked over to where the demon was killed and purified the jewel, she glanced over to Inuyasha before walking with Sango and Shippo back to the village. Shippo slid off her shoulders and into her arms,
"I'm going to miss you being a kid, Kagome. It was nice to have someone to play with!" She gave him a small peck on the forehead, "Anytime you want to play Shippo just let me know..."
"What was it like Kagome, being young again?" Sango asked
"Weird. I felt so helpless and tiny, and I didn't want to be alone. The world was so big, but then when you guys were with me I wasn't so scared anymore." When they got back to the village Inuyasha grabbed Kagome as a way to ask her to hang back,
"So you remember everything huh?" Inuyasha asked nervously
"Yes Inuyasha. EVERYTHING. And I wanted to say thank you for taking such good care of me. That was really sweet of you..." Kagome turned her head and blushed slightly.
"Yeah, well I'm glad your back to normal." Inuyasha said stuffing his hands into his kimono, he looked away to hid his blush.
Kagome walked up him and grabbed his face and turned it so he was facing her. She brought his face close to hers and touched their lips together lightly, when they parted Kagome was rubbing his ears. She giggled and ran off,
"Hey you tricked me!" he said shaking his fist
"Love you too Yasha Face!" Kagome yelled back
