Thanks and I hope that you keep reading but I thought that owe it to you guys to tell you. Enjoy this chapter!

Inside the hut Kagome handed Inuyasha his old fire rat uniform. He went behind the screen that had been placed within the room and changed, it felt good to be back. Kagome then led him out of that hut into the largest one in the village. Tables were set up with food covering them; all of his old friends were there everyone from the village, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, Kaede, Kohaku and surprisingly Rin. He was the guest of honor, he was lead to his place at the head of the table Kagome at his right and Miroku at his left.

They ate drank and where happy throughout the meal. The storm raged outside but was barely noticeable over the noise from the group, Inuyasha told his tale to the villagers and his friends. Telling them of the brave things that he and his village had accomplished. He told them of his favorite and least favorite times, the good and an over exaggerated version of the bad. While someone else was talking he looked down the table and saw that there was an empty place beside Rin and Kohaku. Emi's place... He was pulled back into the conversation.

Emi on the other hand was not celebrating she was riding on the dragon that Sesshomaru had given her back to Sesshomaru's castle. Suddenly the dragon began to slow down until it was walking with a limp. Emi dismounted and checked its feet. Lodged under one of them was a sharp branch quickly using her claws she removed it. Immediately the dragon started to run off then it launched its self into the air flying well above the trees. Emi who was taken by surprise leapt into the trees after it, but the dragon flew too high it was gone and the storm was still raging.

"YOU STUPID DRAGON GET THE HELL BACK HERE!" she jumped back down into the slight cover of the trees completely soaked, "great, just great. I have no idea where I am, it is the middle of the night and I am totally soaked." She started to walk in the direction that the dragon had flown off in, and she slipped while walking down a mud-covered hill. "Oh crap, now I am lost, dirty, and wet and that really hurt. I think it would be better to continue in the morning. Achoo!"

Hours passed after the meal and finally the rain had stopped. Most of the celebration had been ruined due to the rain, and though the ground was a bit soggy, most people left the hut and gathered in the clearing where the women began to dry off the table and benches so that the feast could continue. Yet, the man, or demon that the celebration had been thrown for was not present, not that anybody noticed, most people were too busy getting drunk, eating or trying to get laid (and getting slapped for it).

Meanwhile Inuyasha walked the familiar path back to the Goshinboku with Kagome at his side, it had been so long since they had just been able to walk in peace together, most times he either said something bad and got sat, or a demon emerged and started a fight for the Shikon. Yet today all seemed peaceful. At least on the outside, inside Inuyasha was currently fighting a losing battle with himself. He wanted Kagome, badly. But the other side of him wanted to wait. He knew it was his obligation to follow the second option, but in her tight somewhat soaked pink kimono he was finding it very hard to resist. 'She's grown...five years ago it was hard enough resisting, but now. Now she's even more filled out and much more mature. Kami I want her so bad, but the only question is, does she want me?' Inuyasha continued pondering this, not even aware that they had arrived at the Goshinboku.

Kagome was in a similar position. She hadn't been alone with Inuyasha in five years, back then she had believed she had a crush on him, but it wasn't until he left that she realized she loved him. Ever since then she had struggled to find Inuyasha, now that she had, and that he'd agreed to at least spend the day in the village she was going to make sure how she felt, even if he didn't feel the same anymore. 'Please Kami, give me the strength that I need to tell him how I feel.'

Kagome looked up and saw the exact place where Inuyasha had been pinned about seven years earlier. She couldn't help the tears that came to her eyes or the single tear that began to roll down her cheek. That however, was all that was needed to snap Inuyasha out of his thoughts. If there was anything in the god-forsaken world that he couldn't bare to see, it was a woman cry, especially Kagome. "Kagome? What's wrong?"

She only responded by beginning to sob. Now he was beginning to get nervous, "Kagome please tell me what's wrong." She merely shook her head as more tears began to fall and she began to shake drastically, he couldn't take it, he grabbed her and pulled her into his arms, "Damn it bitch! What the fuck is wrong with you!" He knew it probably wasn't the best thing to say to a woman in tears, but he had no other choice. If he couldn't find out what was wrong with her, me might as well make her angry so that she stopped crying at the very least.

The response he got however wasn't what he expected. He expected to be yelled at, slapped, hit, somehow maybe sat. Instead she kissed him. A long romantic kiss, he was totally taken by surprise that he didn't know how to react. Soon however instinct took over and he began to return the kiss. He didn't know when or how it happened, but he found himself lying on the surprisingly dry grass under the Goshinboku.

Well that's all for now I guess like I said next chapter is the lemon please do not read it if you are not mature enough to handle it, or under 12 years of age. The part where Emi falls over on the muddy hill is a personal experiance haha! I went for a walk in the rain (storm) and while walking down the hill to get to the creek to sit and watch the rain I fell over. I washed off in the creek but by that time I was soakedfrom the rain, it was getting dark and I was in a part of the forest that I don't know very well. It was really funny. And Thanks for your continued support all of you!
