Disclaimer: don't own Inuyasha. Bummer!

Hey readership! What's new? I've been inspired by recent events in my life. These recent happenings have helped me to get into character. Now that I know more about what direction I want to go in, I will try to update more often. Also, thank you Dark-moon360 for your suggestions on future events for my story. I really appreciate your help! In fact if you don't mind, I might use some of your ideas. I really liked them!

Well on with my story…

The summer sky was clear and blue despite the recent changes in the group. It was a beautiful day. And Kagome watched as Shippo chased Kilala through some purple flowers. The Kit was growing up so fast. The perfectness of the moment made Kagome sigh.

Sango was near Miroku as they all sat lazily in the green grass. No one said a word for fear that they would ruin the peacefulness of the moment. A single white butterfly floated past and landed on one of the flowers. It sat there and stretched its wings near the nectar of the plant.

Inuyasha looked as if he was deep in thought as his golden eyes stared off into the endless sky. The hanyou sniffed the air for a moment. Kagome turned just in time to see Inuyasha become tense.

"Inuyasha, what's wrong?" Kagome asked with deep concern.

"Do you want to go back to your own time for a few days?"

Kagome was shocked. Inuyasha never asked if she wanted to go home. In fact he was usually the one who told her not to go.

"Inuyasha…why are you…"

"Do you or not? This is the only time I'm offering so if you want to go home for a little while I suggest you say yes." Inuyasha seemed almost angry but his eyes never left the sky.

Kagome was afraid to refuse his offer. His tone was way too serious. "Well…I guess a few days home would be good for me…but what if you need me here?"

"We can handle things here without you." His tone was still cold.

The young miko felt kind of hurt by the comment.

'You...don't really need me?' Kagome began to over-think about what he had said. The expression on Kagome's face changed from a look of shock to one of anger and sadness.

"I guess I'll just go home then if you don't really need me here." She kept the tone of her voice content and happy despite her conflicting feelings. Kagome grabbed her backpack and headed for the well with Shippo waving goodbye to her.

The little kitsune yelled to Kagome as she was walking away. "Bring back some ninja food for us please Kagome!"

Kagome just waved her hand back at him as if to say she would and he didn't have to worry. Climbing over the edge of the wooden well, she felt a splinter go into her knee. The pain made her wince. Ignoring the feeling, she hopped into the void.

'…goodbye'

Inuyasha felt a tiny weight on his pants. He looked down to see Shippo tugging on the red fabric. He wore a frown on his face. It was the usual look he had every time Kagome left.

"Inuyasha, why did you send Kagome away?" There was blame in Shippo's voice.

Inuyasha grabbed the kitsune by the tail and removed him from his leg. Tossing Shippo aside, Inuyasha walked toward Miroku and Sango. The two looked at each other and then back to Inuyasha.

Miroku began to give Inuyasha his usual lecture. "You know pushing lady Kagome away all the time doesn't help anything. I think that all of your rude behavior is really starting to affect your relationship with her."

Inuyasha's eyes widened. "What relationship!"

The angered hanyou stopped inches from the monk. "Besides I sent her away for a reason."

"And exactly what reason would you have to send her away?" Sango questioned his decision.

Inuyasha turned toward the demon exterminator with fire in his golden eyes. "Something is coming."

The End for now…comments please.
