Disclaimer: YES! I DO OWN INUYASHU! HE'S MINE, ALL MINE! Inuyashu, not Inuyasha. Yeah right people.
Kagome awoke to the bright sunlight hitting her face. She yawned before stretching her arms, sitting up in her bed. She glanced over at Inuyasha seeing he was still asleep. Kagome quietly pulled the covers off of her, and tiptoed over to her closet. She bent down and began searching through a pile of clothes at the bottom her closet; clothes that have fallen off of the hangers(A.N. I hate that)
She got back up and spun around, only to knock into red fabric and a well(very well) built chest. She squeaked.
"Inuyasha! Don't sneak up on me like that! You nearly gave me a heart attack!" Kagome was holding her heart trying to prove her point.
"Keh. That kind of behavior won't keep you alive in the Feudal Era." Inuyasha huffed and turned his head. Kagome glared at him, then smiled.
"That's why I have you to protect me!" She started to walk away triumphantly.
"Keh, as if!" Inuyasha yelled after she slammed the door to the bathroom. At that moment, Inuyasha's prayer beads glowed, sending him crashing to the floor.
"Stupid wench. See if I save your sorry ass anymore." He just lay there, waiting for the stupid spell to ware off.
--------In the bathroom-------
Kagome smirked as she heard a familiar smash in her room.
"That's what I thought."
She began to get ready.
Inuyasha's foot was tapping viciously against the floor. It has been almost two hours. TWO HOURS! AND SHE STILL WASN'T DONE! Inuyasha gave a low growl. His foot tapped faster. Growl. Tap. Repeat, faster. Finally, he gave up. He stood up and headed toward the bathroom. He reached out to the doornknob, only to have it swing right open.
"AHH!" Kagome and Inuyasha screamed simultaneously, Kagome wrapping the twoel tighter around herself.
"How long have you been waiting there!"
"Waiting! I just came to-!"
"Yeah, right! Sit boy!"
Inuyasha pummled to the ground.
"You're gonna brake your damn floor!" Inuyasha yelled at her.
"No, YOU'RE gonna brake my floor, and Moms' going to be mad at you! Sit!"
Another smash.
Kagome grumbled, walking into her room and lock it.
"Wench." Inuyasha muttered before going downstairs to wait.
"Okay Inuyasha, I'm ready to go now!" Kagome yelled as she came bounding down the stairs.
"Took ya long enough. Naraku probably has another shard by now."
"Oh, don't be such a baby. I thought we already talked about this."
As Kagome and Inuyasha silently made their way to the well, thoughts were racing in both youth's minds.
Naraku does have such a big advantage. We only have a couple more shards left, not including the ones Kouga has. Not to mention that Inuyasha has been really restless lately. I wonder what his problem is...
Jeeze, this woman takes forever. We were supposed to be back before noon, and now look what time it is. We HAVE to go get those shards, before that bastard Naraku gets them. We've already had such a big interference. It's cost us days. The sooner we find the shards, the better.
They reached the well before no time and lept right in.
When they emerged on the other side, Inuyasha instantly threw her backpack up before carrying Kagome out. She sighed as she hit the ground, stretching to pick up her backpack.
"What's your problem?" Inuyasha asked gruffly.
"No problem. Just glad to be back and smelling the fresh air." Kagome smiled.
Does that mean you are staying after the jewel is complete?
"Inuyasha? You coming?" Kagome called after him.
"Yeah." He whispered to himself.
-------------------
They reached Kaede's village, and Kagome wasn't surprised to be half-way knocked down by a flying kitsune.
"Kagome! Your back! I thought Inuyasha made you leave forever!" Shippou gave her an enormous hug.
"Keh. Stupid brat."
"Sit."
Smash
(A.N. I might be going overboard on the sits, but it's just so much fun! -)
Kagome and Shippou walked into the hut to be greeted by her fellow companions. Inuyasha walked in soon after that, mumbling and sulking as usual.
"How was your day Kagome?" Sango asked politely.
"Just great! It was nice to have such a relaxing bath!" Kagome shot daggers at Inuyasha, him returning them back at her.
"Did everything go okay here?"
"Oh yes, just fine." Sango said smiling, as a not-so mysterious hand crept towards its destination. It got swatted away.
"Miroku?"
"Yes, my dear, dear Sango?"
"I had just finished strengthening my Hirakotsu a while ago. Would you like me to show you how strong it is?" Sango kept her eyes shut while speaking, showing her calmness of the situation.
"Eh heh...heh...maybe in battle, my dear." Miroku sweatdropped, then left outside to get away from the hot-tempered girl.
"We start our journey tomorrow." Inuyasha piped up from nowhere.
"Why aren't we going today? I thought that's why you wanted to come back so badly." Kagome was confused. He kept bugging her, and now he wanted to leave a day later?
"No. Tomorrow." And with that, Inuyasha stood and left the hut.
"What's his problem?" Shippou asked. Everyone shook their heads. Kagome began to think again as the room became silent.
He wanted to go get the shards. Why isn't he leaving now? Kagome sighed and looked out the window. She gasped. Everyone turned to look at her.
"What is it, Kagome?" Sango asked concerned.
"Tonight's the new moon. That's why Inuyasha doesn't want to leave."
"Well, why didn't he just say so?" Shippou said. Kagome smiled.
"Oh Shippou, you know how big Inuyasha's ego is. If he had to tell us that he was putting the quest on hold for his one moment of weakness, then he wouldn't be the same Inuyasha we all know."
And love. Kagome thought. A small smile kept growing bigger.
"And Kagome? Why are you smiling so much?" Shippou asked, once again. (A.N. He doesn't like to shut up. Lol!)
Kagome snapped out of it. She just rubbed Shippou's head, hoping that he would forget about it. He did.
