I hope you guys like this one as much as you guys like the chapter before this. This is going to be a short intro chapter. Sorry about the spelling and grammar! Enjoy!

Chapter 6: And it begins again

Inu-yasha sat on the tree trunk and sighed. They had stopped in Kaede's village for a while to rest up. Kagome had gone home for a while and was due back any minute. Inu-yasha cursed under his breath.

"Damn what's taking her so damn long?"

It seemed that whenever she was part from him for more then an hour he felt lonely once again and worried for her safety. He sighed once again and waited to see the gray blue eyes that burned into his memory. He settled back into his tree and closed his eyes. He found that his body was more tired then he originally thought it to be and was very much needed some sleep. He was floating just like when he travels between times, but then he found himself standing in front of a lake. Inu-yasha looked around then found a woman who was sitting behind no to far away. He looked at her and recognized her face right away as a small smile graced his face.

"Mother" he said.

"Inu-yasha" she said.

This wasn't the first time that he dreamt about his mother, he did quite often to try and figure out where it all went wrong, she and he would sit and talk and remember the good times, she would tell him about his father who to his memory he didn't know.

Inu-yasha smiled and sat down next to her.

"Are you waiting for Kagome to return?" asked his mother with a knowing smile.

Inu-yasha grunted and nodded. "She said that she was going to return tonight. But knowing her she'll probably forget and read those hard books. Over the years the books got bigger and she has to go back often to take classes."

His mother giggled covering her lips with the sleeve. Inu-yasha watched her, she was just so elegant and beautiful. "Did you hear from your brother?"

"No why?" asked Inu-yasha.

His mother giggled softly again, "He will soon be a father."

Inu-yasha nearly had a heart attack from hearing this. "Sesshoumaru? Is it that human girl called Rin?" asked Inu-yasha with a smirk.

"Yes it is, they recently mated and I am quite happy for them both" said his mother.

"Mother?" he asked.

"Inu-yasha I know that you're almost done with the hunt for shards, but what of Kagome? Are you going to let her leave after everything is over?" she asked.

Inu-yasha looked down at the grass. "I don't have anything to offer her; I'm nothing."

She reached over and turned his face to make him look at her. "Inu-yasha you may believe that but she doesn't to her you're her angel...just give her a chance, maybe she isn't your first choice but she loves you more then you'll ever know, and you have your heart to offer, she will feel richer then any woman, if you were to give her your love."

"She couldn't mother..." Inu-yasha stated.

"Inu-yasha go to her..." said his mother slowly fading.

"Mother?" he asked.

"We shall talk later now go to her, make her yours." she said.

Inu-yasha nodded.

He woke and looked down at the well that looked dark and completely empty. He jumped down and walked slowly over to it and leaned against it. It was through here did his guardian angel come, funny how he thought of her as his guardian angel when he was the one always protecting her...no not always, she had done the same for him, she was there to protect him to the best of her abilities. He jumped into the well feeling just as he did moments ago.

He closed his eyes and waited until he was standing on the other side of the well. He climbed out and once again her scent rose and mocked him. He smiled she was in the shower. He climbed the tree and then jumped through her window. The room was filled with her scent. Inu-yasha walked over to her bed and laid down, he was tired as hell and seriously needed some rest. He heard her mother.

"Kagome you have a phone call, from Hojou" said her mother.

"Ok mom, I'll be right out" said Kagome.

Inu-yasha racked his brain before the name Hojou rang a bell in his head. It was the dork that followed Kagome round even after all these years he wanted her, now Kagome was 26 years old, soon their quest was to end and what then? What would he be then? Would she consider mating with this Hojou guy? All these questions always drifting around in his head.

"Hello Hojou? Yes I remember that we have a date tonight, but...ok, I understand, ok fine. I guess so" he heard her say.

"A date? Kagome? Houjou?" he asked quietly.

"Well then give me half an hour, I just got out of the shower and currently standing in nothing but a towel, and would want to very much look decent. No I didn't say that to make you excited," she rolled her eyes, what and idiot. "Shut up you moron!" she said and hung up. "That stupid jerk! I can't believe him! I'm so mad!" walking into her room with her cell phone in hand. She still lived with her mother, it was best considering the many things which the shrine had gone through, more like what came through the well, but 11 years had passed so fast, and now she was partially a grown woman. Attending night classes, and taking classes online on a laptop which she carried around, but wanting to be with him was the reason she kept going back. Soon Naraku will disappear and the jewel shard will be complete and there would be no reason to go back anymore, would he want her to keep going back even though she wasn't needed?

Inu-yasha sat up when Kagome stared at him from where he laid. "You're here" she said.

"Yeah because I had a feeling that you weren't going to come back" he stated.

Kagome's shoulders fell 'of course that why am I not surprised.' She thought almost sadly, it wasn't anything new that he didn't care but it still got to her. "Well get out so I could get dressed."

"Dress its not like I'm watching you." Closing his eyes and turning to face the wall.

Kagome sighed and pulled out her dress she was going to wear for her date, but with Inu-yasha here, she didn't think she could do it. "hey Inu-yasha I'm sorry" she said softly.

"Yea sure, don't you have a date with the Bobo guy" said Inu-yasha.

Kagome nodded, "yeah but its ok. I could tell him that I don't want to go any more."

"Why go," he said pretending to not care and go to sleep, this was what he did best; push people away, push her away from him even though he wanted her as much as he wanted air.

Kagome pulled her dress over her head and walked over to Inu-yasha. She sat on the side of her bed and watched him. "Inu-yasha" she asked quietly.

Inu-yasha pretended he couldn't hear her.

She leaned over his ear and let her breath tickle his ear. "Inu-" she couldn't finish for Inu-yasha had pulled her so she fell into his arms. Kagome closed her eyes and smiled. She held him and she closed her eyes. Just some how it felt good to be there, she forgot that she had a date with Hojou or anything else for that matter.

Inu-yasha smiled when he heard her even breaths, he smiled and closed his eyes. It felt good beyond word and he just wanted for time to freeze at this very moment. Though he will never admit it openly he always felt as if Kagome belonged naturally where as to Kikyou was trying to get a burden off her shoulder. Inu-yasha leaned over and kissed her forehead, Kagome smiled when she felt his lips, they had done this before, pretending to sleep just so each could enjoy each others embrace.
