chapter 16-pick up (very short chapter)
Inuyasha and Kagome had come to bed last night, semi dry. Miroku and Sango had made up and went to bed. and now since it was morning were out eating breakfast.
"Inuyasha! Get up we have to go pick up Sota!" Kagome yelled walking into her closet, coming out wearing some lose jeans and a plain white shirt.
"Why? I'm tied." Inuyasha whined.
"So am I but Sota comes first I'm afraid." Kagome said grabbing Inuyasha's hand and dragging him out of bed, and down the hall. Then the stairs, Kagome practically threw Inuyasha down the stairs and out the door. The jogged to Inuyasha Durango and Inuyasha stared it. And they were off.

"Hello Is Sesshomaru there?" Riiko asked into the telephone. After all it had been about 2 days since Sesshomaru had left and he hadn't called Riiko yet, so she was worried.
"I'm sorry, there is no one checked in here by that name." the front desk lady said.
"What! He has to be there. He said he would be there!" Riiko yelled.
"Listen honey, get over this guy. If he gave you the wrong hotel. He must not really like you." the lady said hanging up.
'He's lying to me. He told me he loved me and here he is lying.' Riiko yelled to herself. "when I get my hands on him I'm going to kill him!" Riiko mumbled aloud. She took down her hair and threw the band across the room, hitting a painting of Riiko and her mother making it tilt. Riiko didn't notice because she was already under the covers.

"Inuyasha we're here, just make a left on that road and we'll be halfway done with our mission." Kagome said bouncing around in her seat. "And then we can drive back home and get more sleep!" she said doing a little victory jig in her seat.
Inuyasha turned and they could see the outline of a building with little 'people' standing around. As they got closer they could make out the kids. A lot of them were wearing blue T-shirts that said 'Best of Summer' on them. Kagome, right away, spotted Sota, and he was standing there holding a girl with silvers hairs hand. Inuyasha parked and sat back in his seat.
"Well, Inuyasha aren't you going to go get Sota?" Kagome asked crossing her arms playfully.
"No. He's your brother." Inuyasha said side glancing at Kagome to see her looking out the window. "I'll go with you though." Inuyasha said opening his door, and getting out. Kagome got out as well and they both walked over to where Sota was standing.
"Sota!" Kagome yelled wrapping her arms around her brother, making him blush. "Sota, I missed you." she said ruffling his hair. 'Not that I noticed you were gone.' she thought.
"Kagome, let go, your embarrassing me." Sota said bushing away from his sister.
"Sorry. Aww, who is this?" Kagome asked following Sota's hand to see it was still holding onto the girls.
"This is Shiori. Shiori and I are...well kinda together." Sota said looking to Shiori to get her approval, and when she nodded he continued. "We're ya know boyfriend and girlfriend"
"Aww, Inuyasha! Isn't that cute?" Kagome asked looking up at Inuyasha to see him with a disgusted look on his face. "Inuyasha!"
"Ya so cute." Inuyasha said grabbing Kagome's hand and looking away.
'What is up with him? Why is he acting so bipolar?' Kagome asked herself turning her attention back to Sota.
"So, did you guys swap phone numbers so you can stay in contact?" Kagome asked leaning onto Inuyasha shoulder.
"Yeah, your phone number is easy to remember." Shiori said looking at Kagome and Inuyasha's hands, taking note that they were together.
"Yeah, Shiori's is a little complicated." Sota said blushing, also taking note that Kagome and Inuyasha were holding hands.
"Yeah, you can call each other. Kagome can we go now?" Inuyasha whined leaning his head over to bit Kagome's ear lightly. She of course swatted him away. They could be all clingy in front of little kids.
"I suppose. Sota, are you ready to go?" Kagome asked.
"Sure, you guys go wait in the car, I'll be right there." Sota said. and good thing Kagome got the hint, she dragged Inuyasha back to the car to question him. Letting her brother have his time.
-
Once Kagome and Inuyasha were in the car, talking. Sota wrapped his arms around Shiori, a little afraid to let go.
"Sota, it's okay. I mean I can visit you every summer, and spring break." Shiori said. Neither of them knew where the other lived, they didn't think that was important.
"I know, but I'm going to miss you so much." Sota said kissing Shiori's cheek.
"Me too." Shiori said grabbing Sota's face and kissing him.
They parted and Sota walked over to the car. He turned and looked back at Shiori. Her silver hair was blowing around her face like a halo, her pinkish eyes built up to the rim with tears.
"I love you Shiori." Sota said smiling.
"I love you Sota." she said back as Sota opened the car door and got in.
-
Kagome dragged Inuyasha into the car and crossed her arms, glaring at him.
"What? I didn't do anything." Inuyasha said looking over at Kagome.
"What was with the face"
"What face"
"That face you made when we first went over there and Sota said him and the Shiori girl were together. That face." Kagome said uncrossing her arms and sighing.
"I didn't mean to. It just happened. I could smell him on her." Inuyasha looking away from Kagome.
"Who? Smell who on her?" Kagome asked resting her hand on Inuyasha shoulder, twisting him so her would look at her.
"Hiten, they must know each other. I don't want your brother getting involved with a girl who hangs around Hiten." Inuyasha said grabbing Kagome's hand and bringing it up to him mouth, kissing it softly, never breaking eyes contact with Kagome. (I know in the real story Shiori and Hiten have nothing to do with each other, but this is my story. So yeah)
"Inuyasha, maybe they just crossed paths. And don't really know each other. But then again you did injure him very badly with your last encounter. He wouldn't be healed completely yet." Kagome said glancing back out the window to see Sota with his arms around Shiori. "Maybe, their brother and sister"
"It's more than that. They've got to be mates." Inuyasha said letting out a small growl.
"What! Mates! At her age?" Kagome asked looking back out the window, then back at Inuyasha to see him, soft eyes, his mouth partly open like he wanted to say something, but didn't know how to put it. "What is it Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
"I'll have to explain it to you when we're in a more private area. Not now, your brother's coming." Inuyasha said letting go of Kagome's hand and starting the car.
The back door opened and Sota got in, a small smile on his face. He leaned his head back and fell into a peaceful sleep. One full of silver hair and pinkish eyes.
Once he was asleep Inuyasha but his hand on the center council and so did Kagome. Their hands met and the both sighed with delight as they entwined their fingers.

"Miroku, thank you for cooking my breakfast." Sango said walking into her room, Miroku right behind her.
"Any time my dear Sango." Miroku said laying down on Sango's bed while she changed into some blue jeans and a white t-shirt. "Sango, where is Inuyasha and Kagome? I haven't seen them all morning"
"They had to go pick up Sota remember. Plus even if they were home they would probably still be in bed anyway." Sango said walking over to the bed and laying next to Miroku.
"Why do you say that? Did you hear them doing something last night?" Miroku asked sitting up, the new topic spiking his interest.
"No! They just aren't early birds, that's all." Sango said waking Miroku in the head with a pillow.
"Well jeez Sango, don't make me get my hopes up." Miroku said laughing.
"Whatever. They should be home soon anyways. I wonder if Sota and Shippo had a good time." Sango said aloud, not really wanting an answer, and she didn't get one.
-
"Sota wake up!" Kagome screamed as the car pulled over on the side of the road.
"Huh? What? Kagome, what's going on?" Sota asked rubbing his eyes.
"Where's Shippo. Sango said he went to camp with you. Where is he?" she screamed.
"He got another call to deliver some letter to some water God's daughter. So he had to leave camp a few days early. He said he would come visit us sometime." Sota said breathing a heavy sigh, as did Inuyasha.
"Kagome, you over react." Inuyasha said pulling the car back onto the road and continuing the drive home.
"I do not! I was just worried okay. And wasn't exactly going to leave him there." Kagome said blushing and crossing her arms.
Just then her house came into view. Inuyasha drove up her driveway and parked. Right away Sota jumped out of the car and ran inside. Kagome and Inuyasha took the little walk at a more slower pace. Holding hands and enjoying the cool morning air, that seemed to set the scene just right, Once inside they went straight for the kitchen and had some tea and leftovers from the night before.
