Just to let you know, Miroku and Sango will now have P.O.V's as well…just not as often.

Chapter 14: New and Improved Home.

Kagome's P.O.V

Everyone slowly climbed out of the well. Miroku, Sango, and Shippou gazed at their surroundings, all of them completely mesmerized. They hadn't even stepped out of the well house yet! We waited for everyone to be fully out of the well along with their belongings.

"Are you ready?" I asked them. Inuyasha stood in a corner impatiently. Everyone nodded so I slid the doors open dramatically to reveal the place that I called home. Miroku, Sango and Shippou stepped out of the well house, gaping at their new home. I smiled to myself but remembered I hadn't even gotten the chance to tell Gramps they were coming. Well, it'll be a surprise then. I was so glad that I could live my life here with Sango, Shippou, and even the flirtatious Miroku. Wait! What happened to me? I mean the older me? I turned around and searched inside the well house but I couldn't be found. She must have left before we came so she wouldn't confuse Miroku and Sango.

"What are you looking for, Kagome?" Shippou asked curiously. I smirked to myself.

"Nothing. I just thought I heard my cat Buyo." I lied.

"Bu-yo." Shippou repeated, as if testing the name out. I nodded.

"He'll love you! He could be another play buddy for you!" I smiled. Shippou smiled back and made his way outside. I followed him through the door and shut it. That'll be the last time I ever shut these doors, coming back from that world. I frowned. It wasn't the happiest of thoughts but if I get to live my life with my friends, then I don't care where we are. I turned around to see Miroku and Sango still in awe.

"So? Do you like it?" I asked hopefully. Both Miroku and Sango turned around with their mouths hanging open. Each of them nodded.

"Feh! It's not that great!" Inuyasha scoffed, leaning up against the well house. I just decided to ignore him and turned my attention back to Miroku and Sango. Inuyasha growled slightly, not liking to be ignored.

"Well let's not wait for the grass to grow! Let's get inside so you can check out your new home." I pushed them from there frozen state and led them inside of my house. Once again they were in total awe. I rolled my eyes and led them upstairs.

"Ok since we don't actually have enough bedrooms, we are going to empty out the office, which actually hasn't been used in almost 6 years." I informed them. They nodded dumbly and followed me to the office. It was slightly cramped but big enough to fit at least 2 people inside, plus, Shippou was too small to count as a full sized person.

"Inuyasha?" I began. He looked up at me. "Could you help me empty out this room and get the extra futons in here?" I asked ever so sweetly. Inuyasha sighed and began to remove the things from the room. That indeed shocked me. Almost always he would talk back, either saying I should do it myself or not treat him like some slave. But not now. He just… did it. Without a word, without even a mumble underneath his breath. Why is that? Then the scene with Kouga and Inuyasha's…confession if you will. I smiled and walked over to Inuyasha. I put my hand on his shoulder and he stopped and turned around. I went on my tip toes and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you." I cooed and turned around and strode back to Miroku and Sango.

Inuyasha's P.O.V

Why did she do that? Whu-Whu-Why did she just do that? I lightly touched my cheek and began to blush furiously. Miroku, witnessing this scene, turned to an unsuspecting Sango and pecked her on the cheek lightly. Sango froze and turned around to Miroku stiffly. If possible, she was blushing more than me. Miroku closed his eyes waiting for the impact of her hand meeting his cheek which happened regularly but it never came. He opened his eyes but was greeted with a hard slap in the face that echoed throughout the house. Miroku sighed and flopped onto the floor like a sad puppy. I rolled my eyes and 'fehed'.

My eyes slowly made their way to Kagome who was dusting some shelves off in the office. I began to blush again and finally realized why she had kissed me. I was stupid enough to say 'My Kagome'. What the hell made me say that! And in front of Kouga no less. But strangely, I am almost glad I did. I feel like I could just go up and kiss her and there would be no awkwardness or strange stares. Just…us… kissing. I mean I guess there would be a little awkwardness…but only because it's new and different. Wait? Does this mean we're… together? I mean… it never really was…established or anything. It really made me think. I want to ask Kagome but… it's not exactly like me to say anything…sensitive... no matter what I'm feeling inside. I looked at Kagome and she was happily humming to herself. I smiled and for the first time, I couldn't stop smiling. I finished my work with a smirk planted on my face.

The room was set. Two futons were placed on either side of the room but I couldn't help but notice that MY sheets were on one of the beds and MY clothing was hung in the closet. I glanced across the hall into Kagome's room. My bed was stripped and my half of the closet was bare. Did this mean I wouldn't be able to sleep in Kagome's room? This can't be. The smile evaporated off of my face and I looked over at Kagome. Kagome realized I was looking at her and took that as her que to explain everything.

"Ok the sleeping arrangements." Kagome began. "Miroku, you and Inuyasha will be sleeping in here, while Sango, you and I will be sleeping in my room." Kagome finished. Miroku groaned.

"But… what about Inuyasha? I'm sure he'd much rather sleep in your room Kagome!" Miroku stated. I punched Miroku in the stomach. Miroku fell to his knees and I rolled my eyes.

"Even if that were the case, Miroku, I'm positive Sango would rather sleep in a bears den then sleep in the same room as you, alone." Kagome retaliated. Sango nodded rigorously. Miroku groaned and got up slowly.

Miroku's P.O.V

Judging by Inuyasha's expression, I could tell he didn't want to leave Kagome's room. Inuyasha moved glumly to a closet and pulled out a set of black and purple sheets which I am guessing were for me. Instead of going to my bed, Inuyasha made a bee line for me and plunked the sheets in my arms.

"Make your bed." Inuyasha said sourly. I nodded and did as I was told. I glanced over at Sango who was quietly conversing with Kagome. Sango looked so radiant. What I wouldn't give to make the same stupid mistake Inuyasha did and admit my true feelings for Sango. I've seen Kagome kiss Inuyasha and I just wish Sango would do that to me. But who am I kidding. She'd never do that.

Sango's P.O.V

Miroku was calmly making his bed, stealing glances at me. Why don't I just admit my feelings for him? These past couple of years with him made me realize that under that lecherous exterior, he really is a good and loving person. I'm so jealous of Kagome. She and Inuyasha are perfect together and now they don't have to hide it. Kagome was off making my bed in her room. I glanced over at Inuyasha who seemed to be glaring daggers at the green sheets that were being put on his former bed. I could tell he hated being pushed out of Kagome's room. Inuyasha pushed by me and went in his room and sat on his bed. He just stared at the floor. Sometimes he's glance at Miroku or out the window but he went back to the floor. Then, he turned to the closet and made sure everything was in there that seemed to belong to him. I turned to Kagome.

"So what's the plan?" I asked. Kagome looked up and smiled.

"Well you and Miroku will be enrolled in my school on Monday and it will just carry on from there really." Kagome answered. She turned around to finish my bed but then whipped back around. "Also, we're going to have to go shopping for you and Miroku tomorrow. You can borrow some of my clothing and Miroku can borrow Inuyasha's until we can get some of your own. Oh, and my grandpa and my brother Souta will be here tonight and we'll have to tell them about this situation."

I smiled and sat on my freshly made bed. It was comfortable. I'm glad I get the chance to live here.

Kagome's P.O.V

I looked around and all I could see were smiling faces. Even Shippou was slightly smiling as he slept on my pillow. Except for Inuyasha, he seemed a little upset. Was it because he didn't get to sleep in my room? Well he's just going to have to live with it!

"Ok! Now that we are all mostly settled in, how about we get some food?" I suggested. Shippou's eyes shot open at the suggestion and hopped onto my shoulder. Kirara, who had also been asleep with Shippou, woke up and was trotting over to Sango. We all headed down stairs and into the kitchen. Shippou was poking at different gadgets while I told everyone else to sit down.

"What would you guys like to eat?" I asked. Miroku and Sango looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. Inuyasha looked at me intently, telling me exactly what he wanted. "OK ramen it is." Everyone rolled their eyes and Inuyasha crossed his arms and looked the other way. I put the kettle on and watched it for a second and then the phone rang.

BRINNNNGGGG

Miroku and Sango jumped and looked around frantically.

"What is that!" they said in unison. I giggled softly.

"It's just the phone! Watch." I instructed them. I picked up the phone.

"Hello?" I greeted.

"Hello? Kagome?" the voice on the other line said.

"Hi Gramps!" I decided to put the phone on speaker phone so Miroku and Sango could see what it did. "Gramps, I'm putting you on speaker phone ok? I'm making dinner."

"Okay. I just wanted to let you know that I'll be home in 20 minutes! Souta called and said he should be home in about 10 minutes!" Gramps informed. Miroku and Sango looked at the phone in astonishment. I smiled and winked at them.

"Okay Gramps! Have you eaten or do you want me to make you some Ramen?" I asked sweetly.

"Oh it's alright! I'll pick something up on the way home! Thanks anyways!" Gramps replied.

"Gramps? I have something to tell you when you get home okay?" I added.

"Okay! See you soon, Kagome" Gramps said.

"Bye Gramps!" Then I hung up the phone just in time for the kettle to boil. I poured the water into the Styrofoam cups and handed them to each person with a set of chopsticks.

"Just let it cook for two minutes." I smiled and stared at my bowl. 2 minutes went by silently as each person stared at their food intently. Not to point out anyone, but SOMEONE was slightly drooling at the side of HIS mouth. I cleared my throat to get Inuyasha's attention. He looked up at me and I gestured to him to wipe the corner of his mouth. Discreetly, he did it and then opened his ramen. Kirara was on the floor starring at Sango and me.

"Oh! Sorry Kirara! I'll get you some food too! I went to the fridge and got 2 cans of tuna out. "Buyo!" I called. Lazily, Buyo came trudging in with a content look on his face. Kirara and Buyo saw each other and Buyo made a bee line toward her. They sniffed each other and greeted each other. I put the two cans of tuna down and the two felines chowed down. Sango smiled.

"I think she really likes it." Sango said happily. I smiled back and finished my ramen. I heard someone come through the door.

"Souta? Is that you?" I hollered.

"Hey Kagome! Hey Inuyasha!" Souta yelled back.

"Hey squirt." Inuyasha replied. Miroku and Sango both look at Inuyasha in confusion. Both obviously wondering why Inuyasha was being so nice and…responsive.

"Souta! I'd like you to meet some people! Could you come in the kitchen?" I asked. Seconds later Souta entered the kitchen. "Souta, this is Miroku, Sango, and Shippou." I pointed out. "They will be living with us as well. Oh and the little cat over there is Kirara. Shippou and Kirara are both demons. Miroku is a monk and Sango is a demon slayer." I told Souta. But by the looks of it, he was too fascinated with Shippou and Kirara to listen. Both Shippou and Kirara were happy to get all the attention.

"So are you and the monk going to be my new brothers?" Souta asked hopefully.

Shippou nodded. "Yep!" Shippou smiled.

"Well actually, Shippou is your nephew. Sango and Miroku would be considered your siblings." I informed him. Souta looked at me in shock and kept looking back from Inuyasha to me. I finally realized what he was thinking. "No, No, No, No! Shippou isn't Inuyasha and my son! Shippou just thinks of me as his mother!" Both Inuyasha and I were blushing profusely. Souta sighed in relief and went to go play some video games.

"He seems sweet." Sango said happily. But her facial expression told me she wasn't all happy.
