Welcome one and all to my great fanfic. I hope you enjoy this next chapter. But first review responses:
Takerus Lost Angel - ohh, I flying penguin? Now all we need is some rope, a box/cage, and a monkey and we have a Physics problem. Sounds crazy I know but if you'd see my Physics book and teacher you'd understand. Me and fellow classmates like to make fun of both.
Silent Dark - It is freaky isn't it but unfortunately you won't find out until way later on. You won't find out until after this journey.
Sunnygurl - I'd love to tell you what IY wished for but that would ruin the surprise and suspense. Just hold out for a few more chapters.
Lilemmy - The journey starts here so don't worry as for the wish look up one review. Patience really was never one of my virtues either. It comes and goes and I'm usually without more than I am with it. As for finals, I dread them but I only have 2 but there going to be tough.
Sakume Nohara - Why is IY acting strange? You'll have to wait on that. IY himself will probably explain that but that's about 1 chapter after he reveals what he wished for. I checked out your profile and I find your name's origin interesting.
Disclaimer: I have a paper on the wall that says I own Inuyasha, it hangs right next to my Certifiably Insane paper. Insanity runs in my family. ha ha ha ha ha.
A Wish From the Heart
Chapter 6: Beginning the Next Journey
Kagome quickly ran from her house. If she didn't hurry, her friends would leave her. As Kagome thought about it though Sango and Miroku would make Inuyasha wait for her even though deep down she knew that Inuyasha wouldn't leave without her. After finishing packing her yellow backpack she turned to her mom, "I'll see you when I get back."
"How long will you be gone, dear?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.
"I don't know. Inuyasha said we had one final journey but he didn't say where or how long it was going to take," Kagome replied.
"Okay, as long as you're with Inuyasha I don't mind and since you have off of school for the summer you don't have to worry about rushing back. Have a nice trip," Kagome's mother wish her.
"See you when I get back." With that Kagome turned and ran out of the house and headed towards the well house. As she ran there, she couldn't help but feel as if she was being watched. If it had been Inuyasha, he would have come out by now and just helped to drag her back to the Feudal Era. "I'm probably just being paranoid. Now that Naraku is gone and the jewel is whole, there's nothing to worry about," Kagome thought as she walked into the well house and quickly jumped down the old well.
After crawling out of the well, Kagome took a break and sat on the well's edge while admiring the beauty of the surrounding forest. "Ironic that this is called Inuyasha's forest and both it and Inuyasha are equally beautiful," Kagome thought without thinking. "Did I just think that Inuyasha is beautiful?!? Well he is kind of cute but he doesn't like me. Maybe after this journey, I'll tell him how I feel about him."
It was about then when Kagome heard a voice from the woods. "It's about time you get here. I was going to leave without you." Inuyasha called as he jumped from a tree and landed right next to the well. A small blush ran through Kagome's cheeks as she remembered what she had just been thinking about. "If you would have gotten here earlier we could have left by now."
Kagome glared at Inuyasha, "I said I needed one week and I'd be back and I kept my word. If you were in such a hurry, then why didn't you leave without me like you said you would."
"I said I'd wait a week and I don't lie. Besides I wanted to wait for you because you always have that good ramen. You did bring some, didn't you?" Inuyasha asked.
"No, I didn't," Kagome said sarcastically but unfortunately Inuyasha did understand that.
"Why not? Do you hate me that much? Or is it that I hate all the ramen in your world?" Inuyasha continued to go on and on with questions.
Kagome just let out a sigh and wasn't even paying attention to him anymore. "Sit." With that Inuyasha went crashing to the ground but at least now he had shut up. Kagome bent down and talked to the still confused hanyou. "Inuyasha listen, I have ramen with me. I was being sarcastic before so please calm down already. And trust me, my world isn't going to run out of ramen any time soon." With that Kagome got up and started walked towards the village.
Inuyasha peeled himself out of the ground and followed Kagome, "Well you didn't have to sit me, wench."
"I wouldn't have had to if you wouldn't have been asking so many ridiculous questions."
"I wouldn't have asked the questions if you hadn't lied about the ramen."
"I didn't lie about the ramen I was being sarcastic and I thought you were smart enough to realize that."
"Are you calling me stupid?" And so the argument continued.
Meanwhile, Sango and Miroku waited in the village for Kagome and Inuyasha's return. Since Kagome was coming back today, they knew that Inuyasha wouldn't return until Kagome had. As a matter of fact, they were talking about their half demon friend, "I really think we need to confront Inuyasha about this. We need to find out what is making him act so differently. He hasn't been himself lately." Sango said.
"I know. I'm starting to worry about him, myself. Though he might now want to talk about it, in the long run I think it would be better for Inuyasha to talk about what's bothering him." Before they could speak anymore, they heard voices yelling at one another and they were coming from the woods. The huntress and monk watched as Kagome and Inuyasha emerged arguing with one another. Miroku just turned to Sango and said, "then again maybe it was something small and he's already over it."
Sango was totally sure until she heard Kagome say 'sit,' and Inuyasha could be heard yelled some curses. "I think you might be right."
Kagome really loved the scenery around her. They had been traveling for four days so far and still Inuyasha hadn't told them where they were going. Kagome didn't have any idea. She was pretty sure that in their travels for the Shikon shards they hadn't come this way at all. Kagome looked at her watch and saw that it was 5 o'clock. She hoped that if she asked Inuyasha to stop that he wouldn't be mad. In these past few days he confused her. Sometimes he wouldn't mind stopping while others he would complain. Well she might as well try, "hey, Inuyasha can we stop for a bit? It's about time to eat."
Inuyasha looked around and there didn't seem to be any danger, "okay, you go ahead and set up a fire while I catch something to eat." With that Inuyasha ran off in search of food. Once he was far enough away from the group, Inuyasha quickly hit his own cheek. Inuyasha caught an annoying flea as he fell off his face, "Do you have to do that every time you show up?"
"Well as Kagome was saying it is meal time," Myouga replied.
"Keh," came Inuyasha's reply, "Did you do what I asked you to?"
"Yes, I did Lord Inuyasha."
There was a small pause. "And?!?" Inuyasha asked impatiently.
"Everything is going as you planned. Might I asked how much longer you think your journey is going to take you?"
"I'd say we have about 4 or 5 more days until we get there." Inuyasha replied.
"Are you sure about this, Lord Inuyasha? Shouldn't you at least tell the others about this?" Myouga asked.
"If I wanted to tell them, I would have and you're not going to say a word either. They'll find out everything when we get there. Now if you don't mind, I have to find dinner. You can head back to camp and remember we haven't talked." With that Inuyasha bounded off into the forest after some prey.
"I hope he knows what he's doing," Myouga said as he hoped back to camp where he'd act like he just arrived.

Well everyone wanted a longer chapter and here it is. This still isn't the length for one of my regular chapters. My usually length is anywhere from 7-14 pages per chapter. This story is just different. I don't have much new to say but here's my next IY fanfic referral:
Time for a Change by SvF-BD02-Wedge ; This is probably one of the first IY stories I started reading here at ff.net and is really good.
Once again I want to thank those people who reviewed my story: Ryngrl5, Sakume Nohara, lilemmy, Sunnygurl357, Silent Dark, Takerus Lost Angel, and Burnsybabe. Thank you very much
Well that's about it. See you next time for:
Chapter 7: The Right to Pass
I should tell you that the next few chapters will have cliff hangers. I know you might hate me for it but I can't resist the temptation to put them in. :)
