Chapter 3: Good Bye and Fluff
RECAP: Uh oh, Inuyasha thought as he started to sweat.
"Uh. . .okay, sure. What?"
"Actually, it's sorta like two conditions, but oh well." Kagome straightened and cleared her throat. "First, I defiantly want to be here for Sango and Miroku's wedding. Second, I want to go say good bye to Kouga." She stuck her nose up in the air and waited for his reply.
"Oh okay, that's not that bad– Wait. . .Kouga? MUTT FACE? You wanna say goodbye to him? WHY?" jeez, youd think hed atleast allow that.
Shippo gulped and jumped down from Inuyasha's shoulder. I'm gettin' outta here before it gets bad! He quickly scurried away from the two 'adults' and headed back to Kaede's hut.
"I WANNA SAY GOOD BYE TO HIM BECAUSE I FUCKINGCAN INUYASHA! HE'S MY FUCKING FRIEND AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO JUST FUCKING LEAVE HIM HANGING WITHOUT KNOWING WHERE THE HELL I WENT TO! SO IF YOU HAVE A FUCKING PROBLEM WITH THAT THEN–THEN. . .UGHHH!" Kagome quickly hurried past Inuyasha to the Goshinboku.
Inuyasha gazed worriedly at where she left, amazed at her current outburst. And the fact that she can curse like that. Damn.
He followed her scent the Goshinboku and readied himself to give into her commands. Remember the plan. You're doing this for Kagome. For Kagome!

Shippo saw Sango outside Kaede's hut talking to Miroku and jumped in her lap next to Kilala.
"Hey Shippo.", Sango said with a smile. "Where's–"
Sango stopped talking when she heard Kagome yelling at the top of her lungs. "Ah, I see.", she said and shook her head.
"Sigh. . .will they ever get along? Why won't Inuyasha just respect Kagome's wishes to stay here with us?", Miroku said looking down, pretty much content, despite the fact he was worried for his friends.
Shippo was clearly shocked that they didn't know what Inuyasha was planning. . .even though it was a bad plan. "You guy's don't know?"
Sango and Miroku looked down at Shippo, very confused.
"Know what?", they asked in unison.
Shippo giggled and told them Inuyasha's big plan to get Kagome.
Sango laughed at Shippo's explanation and nodded. "Now it all makes sense, why he wants her to leave that is."
"Yes, it defiantly makes up for his rude behavior towards Lady Kagome." Miroku looked back up to Shippo. "And you are helping in this?"
Shippo smiled and nodded. "Yeah, but I don't want Kagome to leave so it may be hard. Inuyasha said she may stay if I act like I really need her here."
Miroku grinned and replied, "Then I'm guessing you also don't know Kagome's devilish little plan?"
Shippo raised a small reddish eyebrow and shook his head no.
"Kagome thinks Inuyasha hates her because he's sending her home, but knew that he would at least miss her a little, so she thought that if she made him jealous he would for sure come back to get her in her era.", Sango finished for Miroku.
Shippo giggled at his adopted parent's 'silliness'.
"So shall we just leave this be? Hopefully they can confront each other soon. This tension is starting to give me a migraine.", Miroku said as she pinched his temples in frustration.
Sango and Shippo laughed and nodded. "Good idea."

Ugh, that jerk. He has no consideration for other's feelings at all what-so-ever., Kagome thought as she sat against the Goshinboku.
"Kagome?", Inuyasha called as he jumped down in front of her.
Kagome looked up to him and scrunched her nose like she had just smelled old gym socks.
"What do want Inuyasha? Haven't you tortured me enough today?"
Inuyasha frowned. I think she hates me now. Way to go hanyou.
"Uh, Sorry about. . .before." He said and rubbed the back of his neck. "It's alright if you go to see the wolf– I mean Kouga."
Kagome smiled. I guess he can be a little considerate sometimes.
She got up and walked over to Inuyasha. "Shall we go then?" She slid her hand around his elbow and smiled up at him. He blushed and nodded.
They started walking through the forest hand and hand– uh, elbow.
Inuyasha smiled contently down at Kagome. Soon, Inuyasha. . .very soon.

Inuyasha and Kagome neared a wide open plane and stopped. Kagome unlinked her arm and looked around.
She looked up to Inuyasha and asked, "I thought you said he was here? You smelt his scent right?"
Inuyasha nodded and said without looking down, "Just wait."
Kagome sighed and looked back up to the outsized, grassy plane they were standing in front of. It was crowed by trees and large bushes leading deeper into Inuyasha forest.
Then, all of a sudden, Kagome felt a huge wind blow by her.
"He's here.", Inuyasha said and sweat dropped. Keh, always gotta make an entrance.
Kagome giggled and nodded as she saw Kouga's 'tornado' come into view.
Kouga dropped down onto the ground in a 'hmph'. He looked at Kagome then to Inuyasha and back to Kagome and raised an eyebrow. He smirked and started to walk a little closer to Kagome.
"So Kagome, finally agreed to ditch the dog and become my mate? Very wise choice. Trust me, I'll take MUCH better care of you then he ever has.", he said as he went to slide his arm around her waist.
Inuyasha growled and stood between them. "She's just here to say good bye Kouga, so don't get any ideas."
Kagome smiled when she heard Inuyasha address Kouga with his actual name. So he really does care. There may just be hope yet. Maybe I won't have to piss him off by makin' him jealous after all. Hmm. . .okay new plan. Time for the test run.
Kagome sneaked her hand around Inuyasha's and walked to the side of him. "Um, yeah. I'm really sorry Kouga, but Inuyasha already 'claimed' me. We haven't mated yet but I was waiting till we could go back to my time. We both love each other very much. I'm really sorry. I wish I could of came to you sooner. Would you please still be my friend though?"
Inuyasha blushed massively and looked down to her. She winked up at him and looked back to Kouga.
Inuyasha got the message. Smart, wench, very smart. What better way to get rid of a mangy wolf then to take away his chosen mate? ouch, thats harsh.
Kouga slumped. Stupid dog! Taking my mate like that! I should rip him to shreds! . . .But then Kagome will hate me. Sigh. . .whatever. The mutt can have her. . .but this isn't over. Not by a long shot.
Kouga straightened up again and looked back to Kagome. "Alright Kagome. If that's really what you want, then fine. But know this, if he so as makes you cry just once, I'll come and kill him? Got it?"
Kagome giggled and nodded. "I wouldn't have it any other way." She let go of Inuyasha's hand and went to give Kouga a hug. She embraced him and he did the same. She leaned out of the embrace and leaned up to kiss his cheek.
Kouga smiled and kissed her gently on the lips. Kagome blushed but smiled.
Inuyasha growled and broke them apart. "Okay, I think we get it."
Kagome giggled and nodded. damn, she does that alot doesnt she? She grabbed Inuyasha's hand. She said her last good byes to Kouga and her and Inuyasha walked off. They felt Kouga storm away behind them.
"Congrats wench, you're officially a whore.", Inuyasha said and smirked.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?", Kagome screamed and stopped short, of course not letting go of Inuyasha's hand so he got held back also.
"Damnit wench, don't stop short like that!" He grabbed his head in irritation and glared. He shook his head and sighed. He looked back up to her and grinned.
Ugh, that stupid grin of his. That stupid. . .sexy, irresistible grin of his. . . .I'm so pathetic., Kagome thought and sweat dropped.
"I called you a whore because while saying you were mated to me, which isn't true,"
Not yet anyway, he thought and continued. "You went and kissed him. So basically you're a whore. A good one, but a whore none-the-less."
Kagome's jaw dropped and her eye twitched. What the hell. . .? WHERE THE HELL DID HE LEARN WHAT A FUCKING WHORE WAS? I SURE AS HELL DIDN'T TEACH HIM THAT WORD! He already knew what bitch meant. . .BUT NOT WHORE! UGH, THE PIG!
"WHERE THE HELL DID YOU LEARN THAT WORD FROM?", she asked in disbelief.
Inuyasha shrugged and said, "I read in it one of your book-things."
Kagome stuttered. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She wasn't someone that reads porn books or any of that shit. . .so where could he have read that? "B-b-b-but. . .WHAT BOOK?"
Inuyasha tapped his chin with his index finger and thought back to when he learned the word.
Flashback
"Hey wench!", Inuyasha screamed for Kagome. He wanted ramen and he wanted it now, and he had no clue how to use those metal bucket things she had.
She wasn't anywhere to be seen. He shrugged and figured he'd just try to do it himself.
He grabbed her bag and opened it up. He looked through it but saw no ramen.
btw, im putting thoughts in flashbacks in italics that are underlined. Damn. . .she has none. He looked a little more through the bag and spotted something 'out of the ordinary'.
He saw a tiny little marble notebook that said "Kagome's Diary". Hmm. . .I could of swore Kagome told me about these things. . .ah well, let's see what it says.
August 23
Dear Diary,
I just got back from the feudal era. I swear if Inuyasha asks me to make him ramen one more time I think I'll blow. Lol, he's such a pig. He went to Kikyou again today. I obviously didn't know where he went at the time, so I went after him. They were sitting together against the Goshinboku. She fucking yelled at me when I asked what he was doing! Ugh that stupid bitch! She always acts so innocent! She's such a whore sometimes! Whatever, better go before Inuyasha barges in through my window and asks stupidly what this is. What an idiot. Lol. Later 3
- Kagome
End of Flashback
"Hm. . .I never did talk to you about that. Damn woman, you have some big foul language issues."
Kagome was VERY embarrassed. No one has EVER read her diary. Ever. -For obvious reasons. And for the fact that Inuyasha read the one that she very much didn't want people reading, especially him, because of her 'Kikyou hating', and because of her bad language that she usually only uses in her diary.
Then Kagome thought about it. Wait. . .why isn't he mad about the Kikyou thing? Maybe he. . .Nah 'cause. . .But he did. . .Ah, fuck it. He probably just forgot, him being the idiot he is.
She shook her head and looked back to him. "Come on, let's get back. Sango's probably having a hissy fit about me being missing."
Inuyasha nodded and continued to walk beside her. He grabbed her hand and smiled down at her.
She smiled back and rubbed one of his ears.
They walked in a comfortable silence back to the village.
