Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha (if I did Kikyo would com back every episode and die every episode)

After explaining Inuyasha to her mother, Kagome left Inuyasha to her mother's care and went upstairs to shower.

I hope Inuyasha lasts down there. It was nice of him to sacrifice himself so I could go up here…

She thought as she turned the water off and got out. She grabbed a blue skirt and a long sleeved blue shirt and put them on, since her uniform was dirty.

She went back downstairs to find her mother standing over Inuyasha, who was wolfing down a bowl of ramen noodles, and not noticing anything else.

"I take it you like Ramen Inuyasha" she said, and Kagome felt that if she was in one of Sota's anime shows, there would be a sweat drop on her head. Inuyasha simply nodded and continued on eating until he finished.

"Thanks" he said, and then he noticed Kagome. "Hey Kagome, we've got to go back soon you know." He told her, not looking at her, but at her mother, who was making more ramen.

"I want to spend the night here, and then we can go back, ok? You can sleep outside on a tree nearby or something. Nothing'll happen here." She told him smiling. Inuyasha turned to look at her, and she brightened the smile, knowing that would help in his decision.

"Feh." He said, putting his hands into the sleeves of his Fire-Rat robe. Kagome made a small "yay" sound and said her goodnights then went upstairs and sleep.

After she left Inuyasha felt quite cornered, since all her family was staring at him. "What?" he asked feeling a bit apprehensive.

"How long have you known Kagome?" the grandfather asked.

Oh no, I'm doomed…

"Three days or so, why?" he asked, feeling death glares from the three of them. The grandfather stepped down and Kagome's mother took over.

"We saw that smile she gave you, you obviously like her and she likes you back, so we want to know everything about you." Her mother said.

"Umm…" Inuyasha said, barely concealing a blush. He quickly hopped right over Sota's head, since he was shortest in the three that cornered him, and went out the front door.

"It's confirmed" said Sota, getting up. "Now, do we approve or not?"

"It's a maybe. I still like that Hojo boy, but Kagome seems to…well, not. He seems like he is strong enough to care for our Kagome…" the three continued their chat as Inuyasha climbed a tree next to Kagome's room, jumped to the windowsill and knocked lightly on the window until the consistent tapping woke the girl up.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Kagome couldn't take it anymore; she got out of bed to see what was tapping, and found Inuyasha.

"You're family is insane" he stated as he jumped through and into Kagome's room.

"What'd they do?" she asked closing her window sitting down on the bed, where Inuyasha sat on her floor. Inuyasha explained and then sighed a bit.

"I think we'll have to tell them about this whole thing being repeated. Maybe it was wrong of us to go back at all with the Shikon No Tama…" but Kagome cut him off.

"No Inuyasha, we needed to, it was the only way for me to live, and we both know that. And true there might be some weird moments for us, like with my family quizzing you."

Kagome could swear she heard footsteps near her door, so she lowered her voice to a whisper, knowing that Inuyasha's ears would catch what she said despite to almost inaudible tone.

"We'll go back in the morning, ok? Just give me a chance to say good-bye; I haven't seen them in three days. And although I know that in the future I spend much more time than three days there, I still miss them." She said, Inuyasha nodded to show he heard and was about to ask loudly why she was speaking quietly when Kagome pointed to the door.

Inuyasha closed her mouth and nodded. He walked over to the window, ready to get out and sleep in a tree. "Kagome, stay safe for tonight, ok? And keep your 'window' thing open in case something gets in." he told her as he got on the windowsill.

Kagome smiled at him, "Ok Inuyasha, don't fall out of the tree…" she warned him jokily.

"Oh shut up. Feh, I won't fall out." He told her and she watched him jump back into the tree next to her room window. Kagome left the window open and walked over to her bed.

She stopped halfway there and then thought better of it. Turning Kagome tiptoed to her bedroom door and yanked it open suddenly, revealing her mother, grandfather and Sota, all of which were kneeling with their ears pressed to where the door should be.

"Go away, cant I get a moments peace? Oh yeah, Inuyasha and I are returning to the Feudal Era tomorrow morning, so if you're not up I'll leave a note in case you forget, ok? I know I have school tomorrow, but this is really important, I can catch up, I know it." She told them smiling. Then she closed the door in their faces.

Sighing again Kagome went back to her bed, got in and pulled the covers up over her, not even bothering to change, and not noticing a demonic hand grabbed the Shikon Necklace she wore.
