Last time: Michelle went to the extreme and kissed Kouga to get the jewel shards from him, allowing the group to finish the jewel... Though, they haven't put the pieces together.

Chapter 14: I Wouldn't Be Surprised

InuYasha sat in the Sacred Tree, looking off into the distance, thinking. His ears twitched as the sound of footsteps reached his ears. He sniffed the air and Kagome's scent wafted in the air, though he kept his eyes looking off into the distance.

"InuYasha?" Kagome asked, looking up at him in the tree. She walked towards the tree and put her hand on it, looking at the scar that was in the tree where InuYasha had been pinned to it.

"Yes, Kagome?" InuYasha asked, looking down to where she stood. He jumped down and looked at her standing there, touching the spot where the arrow pierced the tree. He thought she looked so beautiful there, the wind playing with her hair, looking at the tree.

"You come here to think a lot, don't you?" Kagome asked, glancing at InuYasha.

"Yes... That's not what you wanted to ask me, is it?" InuYasha said, watching Kagome carefully. She shook her head.

"No, it isn't," Kagome said, sighing and looking at the half demon.

She pulled out the necklace around her neck and held out the jewel, still missing the two pieces. She then took out the bottle holding the two shards that Michelle had gotten from Kouga and put them into the jewel. It started to glow brightly, rising a little bit above her hand and a bright light coming from it. Suddenly the light became so blinding that the two had to look away from it.

Once the light subsided the whole Shikon Jewel sat in Kagome's hand.

Watching all of this from a distance were Kay, Michelle and Sango, using the cover of going to the hot springs for a bath. Kay gasped, though Michelle's hand went over her mouth before she could say anything.

"The jewel is complete," Kagome said, holding it up in her thumb and index finger, showing it to InuYasha. InuYasha nodded and looked at the jewel.

"Yeah..." InuYasha said, his ears flattening on his head. What will Kagome do now? She has no reason to stay here now that the jewel is complete... InuYasha thought.

"InuYasha... What are you going to wish for?" Kagome asked the half demon, who was surprised by the question. He looked at Kagome and then at the ground.

"I... I don't know," InuYasha said, swallowing hard.

"What?" Kagome asked.

InuYasha shrugged. "I don't know what I want. I did want to become a full demon, but I don't want to any more..." InuYasha said, looking off into the distance. The sun melted any of the left over snow on the ground and warmed InuYasha and Kagome's skin. A soft breeze went through the trees and Kagome smiled.

"Well, how about we figure out what to wish for, together?" Kagome stated rather than asked. InuYasha smiled and looked at Kagome carefully. "Is that a yes?" Kagome asked.

InuYasha took a step closer and then bent down slightly and kissed her.

Backing away from Kagome, blushing slightly, and Kagome blushing a bit too, he nodded. "Yeah," InuYasha said, his eyes shining brightly.

Kay and Sango watched through the bushes, their eyes wide and they were grinning evilly, though Michelle was pretending to vomit behind a tree.

"Michelle," Kay whispered, "you shouldn't be doing anything, considering that you kissed Kouga... This would be good blackmail material for Kagome... I think... We don't have anyone to blackmail, though."

- - -

Kay sighed as she lowered herself in the water of the hot springs. She looked around and seemed to be alone, though soon she saw Kagome and Sango walking over to her, and a smirk came on her face. Lifting her head out of the water as Kagome and Sango came in, she smiled.

"So, Kagome... Is InuYasha a good kisser?" Kay asked.

"WHAT?" Kagome said, blushing furiously.

"We saw you, Kagome. You can't hide it from us," Sango said to the blushing priestess.

"Though, I never knew InuYasha could be so romantic..." Kay said, thinking carefully and putting her finger on her chin.

"Well..." Kagome said, blushing.

"Well..." Kay led on.

"I liked it..." Kagome whispered, causing Kay to burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" Kagome asked. Kay answered by clutching her sides and laughing even more, trying not to fall in the water and drown herself.

"I think she was just expecting it," Sango said, receiving a nod from Kay.

Kay finally calmed down. She looked at Kagome and asked, "What are you going to do with the jewel now?"

Kagome looked down to the completed jewel around her neck and held it in her hand, clutching it tightly. "I don't know... I'm not sure what I want to wish for," Kagome said, closing her eyes.

Kay sighed and looked into the water at her reflection. I know what I want... But it's a stupid idea, and if we find something better then that would be good... Kay thought, biting her lip. "I'm going to go..." Kay said, standing up from the water and getting out of the hot springs. She picked up a towel and dried herself off and got dressed in modern clothes.

As she tied up her hair Sango looked into the trees. "You know that Charlie's been sitting in the trees the whole time you were here, right?"

Kay's eyes widened and she growled. "CHAAAAAARLIEEEEEEE!" Kay screamed, running into the forest and chasing after the dog.

"I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING!"

"I DON'T CARE YOU PERVERT!"

"I didn't think he was actually watching us..." Sango said, putting a finger up to her mouth and holding it there, as if thinking.

"I think he was looking at Kay, not us," Kagome said, smirking.

"Oh..."

- - -

After Kay got her revenge on Charlie for peeping on the girls she sat next to a tree with Charlie standing nearby, looking off into the distance.

"You know, it seems like everyone is kissing each other, even if they don't mean it. Michelle kissed Kouga, InuYasha kissed Kagome..." Kay said, thinking.

"InuYasha kissed Kagome?" Charlie asked.

"Yeah. You didn't hear about that when you were peeping, you pervert?" Kay asked.

"No..." Charlie said.

"Everyone is kissing... I wouldn't be surprised if we walked in on Miroku and Sango kissing," Kay said, standing up and going to Kaede's village.

Charlie let out a small laugh and they walked into Kaede's hut and froze.

Sango sat there, Miroku kissing her, and when she noticed the two of them standing there she quickly slapped him and sat looking at the fire, blushing.

"OK, I lied. I am surprised that we walked in on Miroku and Sango kissing," Kay said, her eyes wide.

Charlie looked at Kay out of the corner of his eye and exhaled deeply through his nose. I wish I could kiss someone, thought the demon.

Next Chapter: Sesshomaru comes to visit because of Rin, but something terrible happens. Something so terrible that it causes Kay to cry. What could be so powerful? Though, nothing is powerful enough to make Michelle cry, she's just an emotionless freak.

Kay: Charlie is a sick, sick, sick pervert.

Charlie: No I'm not!

Kay: Yeah right.

Michelle: What was that about being emotionless?

Kay: The only emotion I ever see you express is PMSing/anger and happy.

Michelle: Shut up.

Charlie: The next chapter is I Cry For You.

Michelle: Shut up.
