Chapter 5: Aunt and Uncle

The two walked in silence after that. When they reached the shrine, Kagome looked at it longingly. It made her remember every time she would come home and be so happy that she could see her family. She sighed inwardly, holding back all of her tears. She had missed their funeral, because she was afraid to face the truth.

"Well I'll go to the store and get some ramen and some other things. You can wait in the other era if you want."

"Feh, I'll go with you." Inuyasha said stubbornly. Kagome just gave him a thankful smile.

"Okay than, let me go in and grab a hat for you." Kagome walked over to the doors and first she expected them to be locked, but they weren't she walked in and noticed things changed around. She wondered what was going on. No one could have moved in because it belonged to the Higurashi family and Kagome had the deed now, it was on her dresser though. She walked into the house and went upstairs. She had flashes of memories and her heart swelled as being there made her want to cry more. She opened her room door and gasped. Her favorite uncle was sitting on her bed looking through a photo album. She hadn't seen him in about two years. "Uncle Kato?" The man looked up at her sadly.

"Kagome?" The man stood up and dropped the photo album. "Where have you been?" He looked sad and not as happy as he used to.

"Uncle... what are you doing here?" Kagome asked.

"Your Aunt Mimi and I have decided to move in and take care of the place. We found the deed on your dresser... How have you been dear?"

"Not so good actually." Kagome looked down.

"I miss them to." He hugged Kagome quickly and tried to put a smile on. "We changed some of the stuff around, but we kept this room the same for you. We were wondering were you could have been. Did you run away when you found out?"

"No. I actually have a new home and friends that are like family to me."

"Do I know them?"

"No, they're not from around here. I came back to get some things."

"You know you aunt and I can adopt you if you want and you can live here if you like?"

"No, I'm fine, really. Just please don't get rid of any of my things and I'll come and visit once in a while, okay?"

"Sure thing, Kagome. Your aunt went shopping she will be home soon if you want to wait for her."

"Um.. actually I will be back in a little while, but only for a moment I have to go some where."

"Kagome!" Inuyasha's voice came from downstairs. Kagome froze for a moment.

"Who is that?" asked Kato. Kagome grabbed a hat.

"Oh, he's a friend." Kagome replied.

"A friend?" asked her uncle suspiciously. Kagome nodded and ran out the door and down the stairs. Inuyasha was there. She heard her uncle chasing after her. 'Oh, no he'll see Inuyasha's ears.' Kagome thought. When she came in reach of Inuyasha she jumped on him, knocking him down and shoved the hat on his head. She unknowingly had her chest in his face when she jumped on him. She stayed on top of him as her uncle came down. Kagome held the hat tight to Inuyasha's head. He struggled to get lose. "A friend?" Her uncle asked again at the position the two were in. Kagome blushed when she too noticed and got off Inuyasha. He glared at her and then noticed the other man in the room. Inuyasha stood up and looked at the man suspiciously. The man gave Inuyasha the same look.

"Who are you?" asked Inuyasha.

"I am Kagome's uncle, Kato, and you are?"

"This is Inuyasha... he's one of the friends I live with." Kagome said. Kato looked surprised.

"What, you are living with a boy and you two are unwed? This is against all tradition, Kagome. I can't stand for this." Kagome didn't want to get on the bad side of one of her favorite uncle's so she did all she could do, she lied.

"We are wed." Kagome said with a false. Inuyasha looked shocked and was about to ask 'what the hell she was talking about', but Kagome covered his mouth with her hand. "Yes, of course we are."

"And you love this man?" asked Kato. Kagome blushed.

"Of course, why else would we be wed." Kagome said. Inuyasha's eyes went wide for a second, even though by now he knew she was only lying to her uncle, it still felt good to hear those words. (A/N: Of course he doesn't know Kagome isn't totally lying. Hehe!)

"And Inuyasha.. you love her?" asked Kato. It was Inuyasha's turn to blush and he didn't know what to say.

"Yes, he does. We love each other very much and we have a child on the way, so we'll be leaving now." Kagome said quickly, hoping that would surprise him to much for him to ask any more questions. It worked. Kagome dragged Inuyasha out the door and waved goodbye to her uncle.

When they were both outside Inuyasha glowered at Kagome.

"Wed?" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome blushed.

"Well I couldn't tell him the truth! Plus he's my favorite uncle and I didn't want to get on his bad side." Kagome said plainly. Now lets go to the store and I'll come get some more stuff later." Kagome began walking with Inuyasha following at her heal. He crossed his arms and looked to the side.

"What in hell possessed you to say we had a child on the way?" Inuyasha asked remembering that particular comment.

"Well it shut him up didn't it?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah, well what's he going to think next time you come here and you don't look any different?"

"I'll think of something." Kagome said. The walk to the store was about ten minutes, and was straight down the block from the shrine. She walked into the store and got a wagon and rushed to the soup isle. She got plenty of ramen with all different flavors, she got some candy for Shippo, some chips for Inuyasha, some soda and books for Miroku, some cat chow for Kirara, and some jewelry and snacks for Sango. She figured she was so distant lately that they disserved some treats. Inuyasha didn't talk the whole time as he followed behind. Kagome paid and then walked out with a three grocery bags holding the things. "Are you alright, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Feh, what are you talking about?"

"You've been kind of quiet."

"Like you've been any better?"

"Are you mad that I lied to my uncle?"

"Like I care what you and your uncle talk about?"

"I'll tell him the truth if you want." Kagome had disappointment in her voice.

"No, just forget about it. I don't mind." They soon arrived at the shrine. Kagome would have to go in and get another back pack, since she left the other one in her time. She also needed some clean clothes. She sighed and walked up the stairs and into the house, followed by Inuyasha.

"Kagome!" Kagome heard her aunt yelling her name and then felt someone hugging her tightly, it was her aunt. "I'm so glad to see you! It's been to long,"

"Nice to see you too, Aunt Mimi." Kagome said as her aunt pulled away and gave Inuyasha a glance up and down.

"This must be your husband and the father to your child?" Her aunt asked more than stated. Kagome looked at Inuyasha to see of it was alright for her to lie. He nodded.

"Yes, we have to go though, I just came to get some stuff."

"Nonsense your staying the night, deary. You and your husband can take the master bedroom if you like?"

"No we really have to be going..."

"Your staying the night, no arguments." Her aunt said. Kagome sighed realizing she had lost.

"Well I'll sleep in my own room and Inuyasha can get the couch."

"No, no, no!" Her aunt stammered. "He will sleep with you. You two are married after all."

"Ah.. right." Kagome said. Inuyasha began to walk upstairs. Kagome followed after him. "But we're leaving tomorrow." She called down to her aunt and than entered her room and shut the door. Inuyasha was already sitting on her back. "We can sneak out of you want? My aunt can be a little pushy sometimes." Kagome started packing her things.

"No, this was your idea so now you have to tell your aunt you don't want to say if you want to go."

"I wouldn't mind staying, but you can sleep on the floor."

"I planned on it."

"Do you want me to go make you some ramen before you go to bed?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha nodded. Kagome got up and turned on the radio low. Then she walked out and went to make Inuyasha some ramen. Inuyasha listened to the radio closely. Kagome had shown him what it was once and he liked the music. (A/N: I'm listening to this song right now, so I decided to put it in here. It reminds me of Inuyasha)

The song played... (Iris, by: Goo goo dolls.) (You can download this for free off of www .mp3shits. com)

"And I'd give up forever to touch you 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life 'Cause sooner or later it's over I just don't want to miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies And you bleed just to know you're alive And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am... And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am"

Inuyasha sighed. The song reminded him of himself and Kagome in a way. In his head he dedicated it to Kagome. he feared more than anything that Kagome would leave him. She was everything to him and she didn't even realize it. He wouldn't be able to go on living if she were to leave him. Moments later Kagome came in with a steaming bowl of ramen. She handed it to Inuyasha and he slowly took it and ate it a lot slower than usual. Kagome looked at him a little worried.

"Is everything okay, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha put his bowl of ramen down and stood up, facing Kagome. He looked into her eyes and she his. She saw worry in his eyes and sorrow. "Inuyasha?"

"Where are you going to go when the jewel is finished?" Inuyasha asked.

"I don't know, I want to stay in the feudal era. That is if you let me." Kagome said.

"Get some sleep." Inuyasha walked right past Kagome and placed his sword down beside the bed. Kagome picked up his ramen.

"I'll go throw this out if you don't want it." Kagome started heading towards the door, but Inuyasha grab the bowl from her hands.

"I didn't say that." Inuyasha took it and ate it with in seconds and than handed Kagome the bowl. She wanted to laugh at the look of accomplishment in his eyes. She than gave him back the bowl.

"I said if you didn't want it. Now go and put it in the sink." Kagome went over and lied down under the covers as Inuyasha huffed and went to put his dish away into the sink.

Inuyasha was back in a little while and Kagome was already asleep. So he leaned against the bed and fell asleep as well.
