Inuyasha had angered her once again! She wanted to take a break and go home to see her family. One day that was all she had asked of him! One! One single say! Who was he to say no! She had a right to see her family whenever she wanted! So when he tried to stop her from going she uttered her most favorite word in the whole world. SIT! It was only when she heard the satisfying thud, did she turn around and head for the well. When the spell wore off he quickly got to his feet and shouted, "Kikyo wouldn't leave me like this!" Hearing him say that only enraged her more! She stopped abruptly in her tracks. Slowly she turned to face her ungrateful friend.

"Oh, man you are going to regret saying that!" Miroku smirked barely able to contain the laugh making its way up through his throat.

"Shut up, stupid monk!" Inuyasha shouted behind him. He tried to sound threatening but the monk who was used to Inuyasha acting this was, didn't seemed phased at all.

"Inuyasha! What did you just say to me!" Kagome screeched from her spot about 3 yards from him. If he said what she thought he said, he was going to regret making her mad…

"I said, Kikyo would never leave me like this…." He answered in a small voice; his dog ears plastered to his head.

"SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT!" And once again Inuyasha's face slammed into the dirt with a sickening thud. 'He won't be getting up for a long while' thought Kagome smiling.

Satisfied that he would be there for awhile, Kagome turned around and headed towards the well. Behind her she could hear Miroku, Shippo, and Sango laughing at Inuyasha. 'Serves him right!' she thought. Maybe next time he'd think twice about trying to stop her from going home! She loved being here, but sometimes she just needed to go home and see her family. She did have a life outside of the feudal era!

Finally she reached the well and jumped in. within seconds she wrapped in a blue light and back in her own time. 'Has it really been two years already, since I had first fallen through the well? Time sure has flown by!' She had grown quite a bit since then. She was no longer the vulnerable girl she was that faithful day. She was no longer the fragile young girl. She had acquired that hour glass figure you only receive when you reach womanhood. Traveling with Inuyasha in his era had given her body nicely toned muscles. Not bulky at all like you see on TV, but still visible. Many times she had caught guys staring at her and knew they like the way she looked.

She climbed out of the well and walked up to her home, glad that she would be sleeping in the comfort of her own room tonight. How she missed sleeping in her warm and cozy bed!

"Mom! I'm home!" She announced opening the door.

"Perfect timing, Kagome! You have a visitor!" Mrs. Higurashi called from the living room. She seemed way too excited for Kagome.

"If its Hojo tell him I'm really tired and I'll call him later." Kagome answered her mother as he began heading towards her room. She didn't have to energy to talk to him right now.

"It's not Hojo honey." Her mother said smartly.

"Well then who is it?" Kagome asked curious to know who the mysterious person was.

"Come in here and you'll see." Kagome set her backpack down on the chair and followed her mother's voice into the living room to greet her mysterious guest.

"Long time no see." He said when she entered.

"Oh my gosh! It's been so long! Where have you been all this time! I haven't seen you in years!" Kagome said wrapping her friend in a warm embrace.

"Around. I came here to ask you something." Her old friend informed her breaking the hug.

"What can I do for you?" Kagome sat down in the chair across from him waiting to hear what he had to say.

"Well…I was wondering if you would….."

Feudal Era

"Inuyasha, shouldn't you be going to apologize to Kagome?" Shippo asked tilting his head to the side.

"No! I didn't do anything wrong! She should be the one to apologize to me!" Inuyasha was still angry she sat him so many times. His back was still sore! If she thought she could come back and he would act like nothing was wrong….she had another thing coming!

"I happen to disagree with you. You were wrong; she has a right to visit her family once in a while. You can't expect her to spend every minute here with you." Miroku said, joining the conversation.

"Shut up, Monk! What do you know! She needs to stay here and help us look for the jewel shards and find Narraku! That's out top priority!"

"No that's your priority. Kagome's is different. She may want to help us collect all the jewel shards but she does have a duty to see her family once in a while. Come on Shippo, let's let the poor puppy sulk in his misery and go see what Sango is doing." Miroku said scooping Shippo into his arms and heading towards the village.

"I AM NOT A PUPPY!" Inuyasha shouted to Miroku's back.

"Well you sure act like one sometimes!" Miroku called over his shoulder.

"FEH!"

Kagome's home

"I don't know what to say, Isamu. It's been along time since I have danced! Let alone in a competition!" Kagome said. He knew what happened years ago! Why she quit dancing! Why was he asking her to do this now? There were many other people he could ask instead! There were so many other people that he could have chosen that were better and had much more experience than she!

"But you're the only one who can! My other partner broke her leg and I need a replacement partner. You already know the moves! We'll just have a few practices to get you warmed up! Please, for me?" Isamu pleaded. Sure he could find somebody else but she was the best, even better than his other partner. She needed to do this. It was for her own good, no matter what she chose to believe.

"I don't know…" Kagome said still unsure of her self.

"Please? For old times sake? We're great together! We won every competition we ever entered. We could win this! Dancing is not something you forget! Come on, you were a natural then and I bet you still are! Please, one more time for me?" He gave her his most pleading face, one no one could ever refuse.

"Okay." Kagome agreed. "When is the competition?"

"Oh, thank you so much! You have 4 days to practice. The day after those 4 days is the competition. I'll come pick you up everyday at 10:00 am for practice each day." Isamu informed her. He seemed way to excited to do this.

"I only get 4 days!" Kagome asked him surprised. She was even more unsure than she had been before. But she had already agreed and couldn't back out now.

"Don't worry you'll do fine!" Isamu reassured her. "Well I must be going. I have a few things I need to tend to. See you tomorrow, ten o clock sharp!" He said rising off the couch.

"I'll walk you to the door." Kagome offered.

"Thank you."

"Isamu?" Kagome started as they reached the front door.

"Yes?" He turned to her waiting for her to speak.

"What am I going to wear to this competition? I don't have dress nice enough to wear for something as formal as this." Kagome said her face etched in worry. She knew her mother couldn't afford to buy her an expensive dress, like she knew she would need for something like this. Her mother just didn't have the money.

"Don't worry about that I already have that taken care of. Well, I'll see you tomorrow. Bye."

"Bye," Kagome said giving Isamu a hug then closing the door behind him. 'This has been an interesting afternoon. I think I'll go take a nice hot bath. That'll get rid of some of the butterflies in my stomach.' She had already forgotten about Inuyasha and how mad he had mad her. All she thought about was Isamu and what he had asked of her.

Kagome took a long hot bath, reveling in her modern technology. She couldn't take warm baths like this in feudal Japan. She smiled to herself and sighed with comfort. She was going to enjoy this while it lasted. And no one not even Inuyasha could ruin this for her!
