Sorry for the long wait, but I won't be update anytime soon. I'm going to go back to Hong Kong, and I won't have my computer near me. So I can't really update any of my stories. I'm really sorry.

Disclaimer: I don't know own Ayumi Hamasaki - Teddy Bear, but I do have the song on my computer - and this song is in Japanese, but I found the English lyrics so I put it instead of the Japanese ones, I didn't translate this either! So don't sue for that!

Chapter 24: What a day…

Last Time:

"Youko whose that?" Kagome asked.

Kuronue looked at the woman in Youko's arms.

"A mate?" Kuronue asked raising his eye brow.

Right Now:

"A mate-to-be, and Kagome this is Kuronue, my friend in crime," Youko explained.

"A mate-to-be? So she isn't your mate?" Kuronue asked.

"Not yet," Youko told him while nuzzling Kagome's neck.

"I'm still here you know," Kagome told him.

"Yes, I know," Youko replied.

Kuronue raised an eye brow. 'When have the mighty Youko Kurama gone soft?' Kuroune wonder.

"Um… excuse me, but are you an enemy or a friend?" Miroku asked.

"I'm your worst nightmare," Kuroune replied while smirking.

Kagome giggled at the comment. Jin laughed, Yusuke and Kuwabara (they woke up) were laughing there heads off. Sango just stared at the new person. Miroku looked offended, Touya was just sitting on the floor as nothing happen. Hiei was busy training, in the woods, but he was here he wouldn't give a damn.

Inuyasha was busy in a tree sulking while the gang was having fun on the floor. He was in the tree branch one leg hanging off it. His arms where in the sleeves. Sitting there with his ear flatten against his hear. To busy thinking, to listen to their laughter.

'Should I forgive Kagome?' Inuyasha thought.

'You know it wasn't her fault' his conscious told him.

'I know but Kikyo died' Inuyasha argued with himself.

'So you want Kagome to died? She was like a little sister you never had' his conscious told him.

'I know but.. But…' was all Inuyasha said.

'You would like your little sister in the place of your already dead love one?' his conscious asked.

Silence was the only thing from Inuyasha.

'That's what I thought. I rest my case' his conscious made its last comment and stopped talking.

'I should talk to her' Inuyasha thought.

He jumped out of the tree and landed on the floor. He got up from the landing position and walked over to Kagome. Who was still in the arms of Youko. Youko growled at the hanyou approaching them.

"What do you want?" Youko asked with poison.

"Nothing that has to do with you, fox," Inuyasha insulted.

"Kagome, can I talk to you?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome was silent staring at the ground. She found something interesting about the grass to notice Inuyasha. The wind blew and it pushed Inuyasha's scent to Kagome's nose. She looked up to stare into the blazing sun like eyes.

The next comment came, "What did you say?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha anime dropped to the floor, as did everyone else.

Inuyasha got back up and asked again, "Can I talk to you?"

Kagome was silent, staring into his eye. 'Youko's eyes look better.. hold up where that come from?' Kagome thought

"I guess, but I do not want to be hurt again," Kagome whisper the last part.

"I will not hurt you like I did before," Inuyasha replied. He walked away from the group and went in to the woods not far. Kagome followed, and turn to look at Youko who went back to Kurama. She looked at him and smiled.

Kagome went up to Kurama and whispered in his ear. "I will come back to you," Kagome whisper so low that even with youkai hearing you can't hear it.

Kurama nodded, and Kagome was about to go when he pulled her into a short kiss.

Kagome smiled and Kurama blushed so light it was hard to see.

Kagome jogged to where Inuyasha was by following his scent. When she arrived she saw Inuyasha sitting on a root of a tree.

Inuyasha got up when Kagome came into the place where he was. 'I knew she would come' Inuyasha thought.

"What do you need to talk about?" Kagome asked not looking at him.

"I'm sorry," he whispered.

"What?" Kagome asked and looked at him.

"I said I was sorry. Your like a little sister I never had," Inuyasha told her.

"But you don't treat me like a little sister," Kagome reminded him.

"You were always off to Kikyou. I needed you and you were off to Kikyou. I know she was your first love, but.. what about me?" Kagome asked on the break of tears.

Inuyasha was lost for words. He didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to tell her. Inuyasha never thought about her feels.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think its going to work. I loved you more than a friend. I was rejected for a dead person. Who only walks the earth for revenge and hatred in her heart. I loved you with all my heart," she took a deep breath.

"You replied me, by going to Kikyou," She finish. Streak of tears running down her eyes to her cheek and onto the damp ground.

Inuyasha just stood looking at her. 'She loved me, but I turned my back on her. I shouldn't have desiredher love' Inuyasha thought and looked on the ground.

"Your right I don't desired your forgiveness, or the love," Inuyasha replied and was about to leave when Kagome's voice stopped him.

"I forgive you, but this is the last time," Kagome gave him another chanced.

"Thank you, Kagome," Inuyasha thanked and went to hug Kagome.

He wrapped his arms around our lovely black ruby fox. Kagome was shocked and stood there for a while. After she slowly wrapped her arms around his form.

Once they pulled apart, Kagome asked that they return to the group. Kagome and Inuyasha walked side by side. Once they were back to the camp, everyone went around Kagome.

"What happen?" Sango asked with worry in her voice.

"Nothing, we just had a friendly talk. That's all," Kagome replied smiling.

"What's with the smile?" Botan asked jabbing her lightly in the ribs.

"Nothing, its just that everything between him and me are fixed now," Kagome told them.

"Hmmmm," Miroku hmed.

Nakira just stood next to Kiyoushimaru. Kiyoushimaru just stood staring at the fox before his eyes. Nakira looked at Kagome and sighed. 'I can never go up against a beautiful fox like her' Nakira thought and looked away. Hoping no heard that sigh she let out, but unluckily Kiyoushi heard her sigh. He looked down at her.

"What's wrong? One of my best fighter just sighed," Kiyoushimaru asked with his elegant voice.

"Nothing, I was just thinking," Nakira replied, ashamed being heard by her lord.

"Hmm," Kiyoushimaru hmed.

Kagome, Sango and Botan stopped talking and looked at the two when they were talking. They looked at each other and smiled.

'We have another couple to hook up' the girls thought.

Nakira looked around feeling someone was staring at them. She saw Kagome, Sango and Botan staring at them. With an evil smile on. 'Oh know.. I know what they are thinking' Nakira groaned.

Botan POV

'This is going to be fun' Botan thought.

'We have Kagome and Kurama/Youko, Nakira and Kiyoushimaru, hmm Sango, we should hook her up with someone' Botan thought.

She put a finger under her chin in thought. Then a light blot appeared beside her head. 'I know! HIEI!' Botan smiled at the thought.

Sango POV

'Let see we have some good couple in here. Kagome and Kurama/Youko, Nakira and Kiyoushimaru, Botan… and no body, who would look good with Botan?' Sango thought

Sango stood there thinking, and just like Botan a light blot appeared. 'Miroku maybe' Sango thought. 'Or maybe Touya' Sango thought at all the possibility.

Kagome POV

'Hehe we have to get Kiyoushimaru and Nakira together! Sango, I should hook her up with Hiei. I mean those two obviously have feelings for each other. Botan, who can I hook her up with?' Kagome thought.

'Miroku, no much of a pervert. Touya, maybe. Jin, they would look nice together maybe. Kuwabara, NO!!!. Yusuke, no, he got a girlfriend already. Kuroune, no comment as of yet. I'll think of one' Kagome thought. Oh how she loved being a matchmaker.

Normal POV

Nakira wasn't getting to much of a good feeling, and Kiyoushimaru notice. He looked at his best fight, who was standing next to him. How he just notice how she was a beauty. Her pure black hair, bangs used to frame her face. Her sharp blue eyes and fair skin. Rosy lips that looked so nice to taste. 'Wait I shouldn't be thinking about this' Kiyoushimaru thought and shooked his head.

Nakira blinked and looked at her girl friends. 'I know they are planning something evil' Nakira thought.

She was busy staring at her friends to notice her lord looking at her. His voice brought back her attention onto her lord.

"What are you staring at?" Kiyoushimaru asked.

"Nothing, mi lord," she replied.

As time past the sun was setting. Miroku, Yusuke and Kuwabara were told to get some fire for the group. The three set of to get some fire wood.

Kagome got out her MD player. She was listening to the song by Ayumi Hamasaki called Teddy Bear. She was listening to it and got into the song and started to sing along.

!! Long ago you said to me
As you brushed my hair
That when I woke up
I would find a wonderful present
By my pillow

As always you back is
So small and unreliable
But we were able to laugh together
Over a funny story

But then why is it that people
Must make the same mistakes
Over and over again
Before they regret it?

I remember
One night
I thought was buried

!! repeat

I fell asleep
With my heart full of hope
Anticipating
The coming dawn

When I awoke, on my pillow
Was a large stuffed bear
In the place next to me
Where you should have been

!! repeat

Her eyes closed as she was singing along, she just got so into the music. Everyone stopped what they were doing and listened to Kagome sing.

'She has the most beautiful voice I heard' Kurama thought.

'Yes, our mate has a beautiful voice' Youko replied.

'Not that again' Kurama groaned.

'My little sister has the most beautiful' Inuyasha thought and listened to her sing.

'Kagome has a great voice, wonder where she learned that from' Botan wonder.

'Wow' was all the others could think of.

As Kagome finished off her song she opened her eyes and saw her friend staring at her.

"What?" Kagome asked.

"Mama that was a good song!" Shippo praised.

Tsukikage and Kirara meowed in agreeing. "I agree," Kurama agreed with the young fox.

Kagome looked around and saw everyone nodding in agreement. She blushed and said a thank you. Yusuke, Kuwabara and Miroku came back with arm full of fire wood. They went to a spot and just dropped all the branches.

"Thanks you guys," Kagome thanked. "Oh yeah, did you happen to pick up some rocks?" Kagome asked.

Yusuke looked at her like she was crazy or something. "Why would we do that?" Yusuke asked.

"So we can build a fire," she replied.

"I DO!" Kuwabara shouted.

Everyone stared at him like he was on crack. "Why they hell you have rocks for?" Yusuke asked.

"O sorry but I happen to collect rocks," he replied sounds really proud.

"Hn, just show how much an idiot you are," a cold voice of Hiei come in.

"You want to repeat that again shorty?" Kuwabara asked angrily.

"Which part?" Yusuke asked.

"SHUT UP!" Kuwabara yelled.

"Shut up all of you! Now hand over the collection of rocks!" Kagome demanded having enough of there bickering.

Kuwabara walked up to Kagome and handed over the rocks. Yusuke just shrugged and lean against a tree. Hiei hn and jumped in a tree that was being occupied. Kuwabara just went near a tree to sulk over his rocks.

After it was peace and quiet, but it wasn't for to long….
