Disclaimer: The Inuyasha franchise didn't come from my brain.
Kagome squinted and opened her eyes. The morning sun pouring in through her windows had let her know it was time to wake up. "It must be getting late in the morning." Kagome thought, considering the brightness of the room. She looked at her alarm clock. "Its only 8:45." she thought. She sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes. "That was the best night's sleep I've had in ages!" she thought, stretching before she stood up. She heard the muffled sounds of her mother cooking breakfast underneath her, and decided to see if she needed any help. She passed Sota on the stairs. "Hey sis, we've got a breakfast guest!" he proclaimed. "Guest?" she asked. "Inuyasha." she thought. She was hoping to spend most of the day at home, but the fact that he had come to get her still made her smile.
"Hey lazy, whatcha doin' sleeping all morning?" came the greeting as she slid open the door to the kitchen. "It's still early Inuyasha.""It was heaven to be able to sleep in a real bed." she told him. "Yeah, yeah whatever.""Hurry up and eat so we can go." She wheeled on him. "Don't tell me to hurry up!" she shot back. "Now then you two, no fighting at breakfast. Both of you should sit down and enjoy your meal." her mother said cheerily. It was as good as a command for the two, who immediately took their places at the table. "How is it Inuyasha?" her mother asked with excitement. "Is it good?" "It's alright." Inuyasha mumbled between bites. "Do you have any of that ninja food to go along with it?" he asked, to the dismay of all present. Once they were finished, Kagome headed back upstairs to pack up her things once again. Inuyasha followed. "Are you sure you've got all the junk you need this time?" Inuyasha groaned. "You better, because we've got to start the hunt for jewel shards again.""We have to find the last ones, no matter what, and fast."
"I know." Kagome said quietly. Inuyasha straightened and looked at her. "What's the matter with you?" he asked. "You seem down." "I just. . .never mind." she told him, waving it off. "It's nothing." "Just spit it out." he said. "No use keeping it in." "I just thought I'd get to spend more time with my family this time is all." she told him. "It is the weekend after all, so I don't have to go to school.""I see you and the others much more than I see them." Inuyasha stared at her, unable to answer. He couldn't really think of what to tell her. "I know all this mess with Naraku needs to be taken care of as quickly as possible, though.""That way everyone will finally be safe." she said. "You're right." he told her. "Think of it this way: once the jewel is whole and I waste Naraku, you'll have more time to spend here." Kagome perked up a little. "Right!" she said. "Let's go!" Inuyasha agreed and they headed for the well.
"Bye mom, grandpa, Sota, Buyo!" Kagome called as she ran out the door. "Goodbye!" her mother called after her. "Take care and be safe!" "We will!" Kagome called as she opened the well-house door. She stopped and looked up at the sacred tree for a moment. Her thoughts drifted back to the day before when she sat alone thinking of old memories. "What are you staring at?""Let's go." he snapped. "Oh nothing, I was just thinking of when we first met." Kagome told him. He stopped and turned to her. A small smile passed his lips. "Seems like a long time ago sometimes, huh?" he asked. "Sometimes." she replied. Silence passed between them as they stared at each other. That was it, one of the moments Kagome held so dear to her heart. They didn't have to say anything to each other during those moments of silence together. The bond between them was there; they both knew it. They didn't have to say anything for it to be true. "Right, lets get moving." Inuyasha said finally. "Right." came the reply. They both jumped into the well, waiting to land softly on the dirt floor in the feudal era.
