A.N. Weeee! I updated! Leave reviews!

Inuyasha stared down at Kagome and the human boy she was with. It had been a long time since her last saw her, but it probably wasn't much time for her. He had time to mourn over Kikyo and to grieve over what he had done to Kagome, but Kagome still had traces of Youko's aura on her, so what the hell was she doing messing around with this guy! She should be at home with chocolate, crying her eyes out over a soap opera. Was she so far gone that she would turn to anyone for comfort?

Well he would have to stop her from self-destruction. Even if she didn't want his help, she was getting it.

Jumping down from his perch, he marched over to Kagome and the boy, stopping a few feet in front of them. "Give me the girl. She needs help." Inuyasha demanded, sure that after seeing his impressive jump and twitching ears that the kid would turn tail and hide beneath a couch. To say he was surprised when the boy put Kagome down and took a defensive stance in front of her, was an understatement.

"No she is in my care." The redhead said.

"What! Do you not have common sense? Here let me say it slowly so you can get it, I am a demon. I want the girl. Do you understand?"

"What you do not get is that I am a demon too." Was thisguy dropped on his head as a baby? There was no way that he was a demon.

"Hahahahahaha" Inuyasha laughed, almost falling to the ground from the force that he shook. "Don't make me laugh."

"But I just did…"

"Doesn't matter! I came for the girl and I ain't leaven' till I get her!" Proclaimed Inuyasha, taking on an air that demanded people to pay attention to him or else loose an eye.

"Fine then, but don't you want to know the name of the person you are taking her from first?"

"Why would I want to know that?" Clearly dumbfounded, Inuyasha didn't know why that information would be important. Maybe the kid was well known and he wanted people to bow before him? Heh, not going to happen kid, didn't bow to fluffy, not gonna bow to you.

"What if Kagome wants to come back but you don't know my name or address. I would cause you a headache and unwanted problems." The boy reasoned.

"Well I guess that makes sense…" Though it clearly did not, but he wasn't going to look dumb in front of a human pup. "Ok what's your name."

"Youko Kurama."

Inuyasha stilled instantly. The name was bad, but the voice that said it was worse. It was not the voice of a human child but the voice of a demon, dark, deep and cold. Looking closer to the boy, he started to become scared. Where once the boys hair was a fiery red, it now was bleeding out into brilliant silver.

"I killed you."

"Yes you did, and yet I am still alive." Youko said coldly.

"Then the reason she isn't sad is because you're back with her. Huh, well that makes everything more clear." Happy that he found out why Kagome was cheerful, he didn't mind anything else.

"Why are you here Inuyasha?" Youko asked in a highly confused voice. This didn't make an once of sense.

"I came to tell Kagome that I am sorry. I have had five hundred years to think over what I had done and I now know that I as being a selfish bastard." Inuyasha said softly. "So if you could tell her that, I would really appreciate that… Oh, and I'm sorry that I killed you."

"Apology accepted." Youko said.

"Inuyasha?" A weak voice inquired. Youko turned around and focused on the young woman on the ground.

"Are you alright?" Youko asked, kneeling to help her sit up.

"Yes I'm fine." Kagome assured him.

"Hi Kagome."

"Hello Inuyasha."

Awkward pause.

"So, did you hear what I just said?"

"Hehehe. Yes I did Inuyasha, and I forgive you." Kagome told him.

"Really? Just like that?"

"Yes just like that. But I was wondering if you could go away." Kagome asked reluctantly. She really had forgiven Inuyasha, but she wanted alone time.

"You hate me don't you?" Inuyasha looked downtrodden.

"I don't hate you Inuyasha, it's just that I only got Youko back today and I would like to spend some time with him."

"Oh… OH!" Inuyasha blushed. "It's like back then, when you guys wanted alone time." Looking stricken when he saw Kagome's look of promised pain, he quickly spoke up. "Sorry, sorry, I'll be leaving now." Quickly backtracking to the wall, Inuyasha crouched down then sprang up and over; he was soon out of sight.

"We could have beat him up. Even if we did forgive him, it would have been fun." Youko said, pouting when Kagome gave him the 'I don't think so' look. "Just a suggestion."

"I have a better suggestion." Whispering something in his ear, she giggled when his eyes became dazed. Standing abruptly, she took off towards the house with Youko on her heals.

Everything was looking up.
