Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or anything else belonging to Rumiko Takehashi. However, Shawn, Harashi, and the plot are mine. No one can have them! Unless of course you ask to borrow them for a story and I give you permission.

Thanks to my awesome reviewers! Wo-hoo! I got two more than I asked for (6). You guys rock. Keep the comments coming! I live off your feed back whether it be questions, compliments, or even criticism.

Xxrupert-grint-loverxX – Yes I updated soon! I'm happy that you liked the last chapter! Hope you enjoy this one just as much!

Kae-sama – Yes from now on Shawn is going to feel a lot more 'up-idy' (I caught the drift) and there is probably going to be a lot less sulkyness (see you are the only one who gets to make up words) about her parents. And good observation on Hiten! Keep an open mind. There's going to be a little bit of a surprise with him. ;)

PS You're back as my number one reviewer! Go you!

And now the chapter you've all been waiting for. What you came here to see:

Cousin's Return

Chapter 11: The Perfect Kiss

It was finally Friday in feudal Japan. Inuyasha sat next to the well all morning, staring down into the dark depths, wondering how much longer until Shawn and Kagome arrived. When the sun reached its peak in the sky Inuyasha started to walk back to the village to grab a quick bite to eat at Kaede's.

As he walked into the small hut he saw Miroku, Shippo, and Sango sitting about on the floor. Sango was petting Kirara and staring off into space. She glanced up when she heard the door slide open.

"Hello, Inuyasha," she said before continuing to stare blankly at the opposite wall.

"Still no sign of them?" asked Miroku.

"No. What's taking them so damn long? Kagome said they would be back today!" exclaimed Inuyasha.

"Don't they have school or something like that?" asked Shippo. He was lying on his stomach drawing with some crayons that Kagome had brought him last time.

Inuyasha shrugged, "By the way, where's the old hag?"

"I believe she helping to tend a sick woman in the village," replied Miroku.

"Then why aren't you with her?" asked Inuyasha sarcastically, folding his arms over his chest.

"Do you really think I would-?" Miroku started to ask before he was interrupted by a resounding, "Yes," from everyone present in the hut.

"There anything to eat around here?" said Inuyasha as though Miroku hadn't said anything.

"I think there's dried meat wrapped up in there," said Sango, pointing to a few packages in the coroner, "Just don't eat too much."

"Feh," was Inuyasha's reply as he grabbed a package and unwrapped it. Sure enough there was some dried meat. He took a piece and then walked back outside and returned to the forest, eating as he went. He stopped at a tree near the well and hopped up on a high branch to sit and wait. Soon he fell asleep with a warm breeze sifting through his hair.

Finally Shawn felt her foot touch down on the bottom of the well, "That took longer than I thought," she stated.

"You're just anxious," said Kagome with a grin, "Come on. Don't want to keep dog boy waiting," and with that she started climbing out of the well. Shawn followed close behind careful not to slip and fall back down.

When Kagome reached the top of the well she climbed out and turned to offer Shawn a helping hand out.

"Thanks."

"Don't mention it. Come on! I'll bet Inuyasha's dying to see you!"

Shawn smiled at her friend's remark. But then again she probably would have smiled at anything that had to do with Inuyasha at that moment.

0o0o0o0o

First one ear twitched. Then the other. Then one eye opened and a hand came up to block out the sudden light."

"Ahh!" said Inuyasha, closing both eyes again, "Ah man! I fell asleep! I wonder if she's here yet."

Suddenly he heard voices coming from below the tree. Familiar voices. Girls voices. One he hadn't heard in a long time; Shawn's.

"Where is he? I thought he might be waiting for us," she said.

"Guess not," said Kagome.

Inuyasha looked down. There she was! The hanyou quickly jumped off the tree branch.

0o0o0o0o

"Where is he? I thought he might be waiting for us," Shawn said, looking around a bit.

Kagome shrugged, "Guess not. He's probably at Kaede's."

All of a sudden something above them rustled. They looked up and down came Inuyasha! Shawn gasped in surprise.

"Miss me?" he asked. Shawn didn't even answer. She dropped her backpack and ran right into his open arms and buried her face in his Kimono, taking in his smell. She may not have been a demon, but that didn't mean she couldn't smell what was right in front of her. She didn't know quite how to describe it. It was like smelling a forest. Shawn wasn't sure how else to describe it, but when she knew that when she smelled it she could hear birds singing and creeks rushing along. She could see trees swaying in a light breeze and feel it on her skin. Finally she pulled away from his chest and pressed her lips to his in a kiss.

It was the perfect kiss, everything a kiss should be; sparks, fireworks, crashing waves, everything. Shawn felt Inuyasha's hand slide up her back and press her body closer to his. She hugged him tighter. Oh, if lips had tastes, Inuyasha's had the best.

When they finally pulled away form each other Inuyasha said, "I'll take that as a 'yes'."

"As you well should,' said Shawn playfully, "Looks like we scared Kagome away," she remarked, looking around.

"Gee I wonder why?" joked Inuyasha. He turned Shawn's head back towards him and kissed her again, "So how have you been?" he asked when they were done. Inuyasha picked up Shawn's backpack for her and carried it by the handle at the top(A/N You know what I'm talking about right? If not mention in review). Then he put his arm around Shawn's shoulders and she leaned against him as they began to walk towards the village.

"More or less all right. School's been a pain."

"Well, you could always stay here," said Inuyasha, tweaking Shawn's ear.

"You have no idea how much that thought appeals to me. But living with Kagome, that's never gonna happen," Shawn said rolling her eyes, "There's this one girl who is completely out to get me! She is such a …a… something so bad words cannot describe her!"

Inuyasha snorted with laughter, "That sucks."

"Major, but I've made a new friend. There's this one guy, I don't think he goes to school. He's pretty cool and he's kinda nice and funny and stuff. He looks out for me a bit," Shawn looked up at Inuyasha. He didn't seem too thrilled about the idea of another man in Shawn's life, "Don't worry. He's just a friend. You're still my number one," Shawn hugged Inuyasha and stood on tiptoe to give him a quick peck on the cheek, which was not easy for Shawn. Inuyasha was a good head taller than she was and then some.

"So how has life been for you?" Shawn asked.

"Oh, you know, the usual. Fighting demons, hunting for jewel shards. Finding Naraku right before he gets away," Inuyasha growled at the last part.

"Don't worry. You'll get him next time champ."

"I don't know. I might need a little luck," Inuyasha turned towards Shawn with a mischievous smile. Shawn kissed him quickly on the lips, "Come on. A guy needs a little more luck than that."

Shawn put her finger on Inuyasha's lips, "When you fight him," then she turned and continued walking towards the village.

Inuyasha smiled. It was so great to have Shawn back. He watched her strut along down the path for a minute before running to catch up with her.

Author's Note: OK Shawn and Inuyasha finally met up again. How was it? Fluffy enough for ya? There will be lots of it (fluff), now that Shawn's back in the feudal era. Sorry the chapter was so short, but I know this was something a lot of people were waiting for so I just put in Inuyasha's and Shawn's re-meeting so that I could have it out really fast. She'll see everybody else again in the next chapter. And Koga is gonna make an appearance later on. Plus, you'll get to find out a little secret that Kagome's been keeping. Oh, I wonder what it is. Lol. Well, I know what it is but I won't tell. Also, I am going to be working on another story at the same time (Sorry, not an Inuyasha/Shawn one. It's Ranma.) so there might be longer intervals between chapters, but I'll try to keep up.

I want 5 reviews before next time all right? You guys have given me 7 before so I know you can do five. Thanks.

Gotta roll,
