Kagome's plan was short lived. The minute she moved in the water she felt the pain in her side. The fractured bones from the demon attack had healed but the pain shot through every once in a while. Kagome took a deep breath and found a comfortable spot to prune in. Her mind drifted to the upcoming events of the year. After going through many insane years of junior high and high school, she was finally going to be graduating and moving on. Her family was going to be so proud of her and she was finally going to be able to go to university and accomplish her dream of becoming a doctor. Dr. Higurashi. Wow, it sounded so…so right. After she found all the jewel shards she could continue on with her studies and then she wouldn't have to be living a double life with Inu—. Her thoughts stopped. Inuyasha, if I find the jewel shards then there really is no point in me going back to the feudal era, is there. You would have no use in me anymore. Naraku would probably be easy to beat and then I wouldn't be a pest anymore. You could live your life with Kikyio and I could—. But no matter how much Kagome tried, her heart ached when she thought of a future without Inuyasha or the others.

"I will stop this nonsense!" Kagome shouted to herself. She knew from the beginning Inuyasha was in love with Kikyio and he promised himself to her but recently (more recently after Kouga showed up) Kagome could sense Inuyasha being more protective and she liked the feeling. "I'm not going to rack my brain up with this now," Kagome sighed. She lathered on the lavender soap and closed her eyes.

Kagome woke up to the sun shining on her face. She blinked a few times and realized she was in her era. After getting ready she ran down into the kitchen and found her mother making Saturday morning breakfast.

"Mom!" Kagome said happily, giving her mother a hug from behind.

"Good morning Kagome," her mother replied happily. "We came late last night and Sota had told us you came but you were already fast asleep."

Kagome blushed. After taking the nice long bath Kagome couldn't wait to sleep on her bed.

"Where is Sota?" Kagome inquired.

"Oh, jichan took him and Hitomi to that new theme park that opened up a few blocks away." Kagome's mother replied, her lips curving into a small smile.

Kagome sat down. When she was eleven she thought boys were disgusting and a waste of time. Once she went into junior high she had been on many dates but never had she had what Sota and Hitomi had…until now. Kagome paled a little and got up.

"Mom I'm going for a walk, I feel a little dizzy."

"Are you okay?" Her mother asked concerned.

"I'm fine, just need some fresh Tokyo air." Kagome said leaving the house.


Inuyasha sat in Kaede's hut counting down the hours until Kagome came back. He had to wait two days until they could go shard hunting again. Suffering from angst, Inuyasha got up and decided to run. He ran through the village and into forest. Running always gave him a way to either think or take his mind off something. This time Inuyasha ran to take his mind off Kagome.

The cool wind pushed against his face and his silvery locks were slapping his back. He stopped short at the smell of blood. The scent was strong but to whom it belonged to was unfamiliar. He ran towards the smell and saw a young boy drenched in blood. The boy was alive but his heart beat was slowly fading. Instantly Inuyasha smelt a demon- a very familiar one at that.

"Kagura…" he whispered. He looked at the boy and realized that if he went in search of her the boy would have no chance of survival. In another time Inuyasha would have left the boy and wondered after her but time with Kagome had somewhat changed his priorities. "Damn that women," he muttered as he picked up the boy and ran towards Kaede's hut. At least his mind would be off Kagome for a while.


Kagura sat on her feather. Jut as she predicted, Inuyasha went after the boy. It seemed her plan involving this mutt would actually work. Now, if the boy just held his side of the bargain…
