Chappie 4

Kagome shifted her newly filled yellow backpack onto her back. She turned to smile at her family who stood in the doorway of the well house. : Bye everyone." Kagome said, smiling, as Inuyasha grabbed her waist, hopping into the well. Her family waved at her until they knew she was on the other side.

" My little Kagome is all grown up." Her mother said, turning to go back to the house. Kagome's little brother and Grandpa followed behind her.

On the other side of the well in the Federal Era, Inuyasha jumped out of the well, still holding onto her waist. As soon as they landed, he let go. There was a shriek of joy, and a small orange blur slammed into Kagome's stomach, knocking her off her feet.

She laughed, and hugged her son. " Hey there Shippou."

Shippou smiled up at her. " Okaa -san, did you bring candy with you?"

Kagome laughed, standing up, cradling the small boy to her chest. "Yes. I did bring some, but you're going to have to wait til after dinner to have it." she told him gently.

Shippou smiled brightly. " Okay, okaa- san!"

Inuyasha 'fehed', and turned away from the two. " C'mon. We have to go find the others, eat ramen, and find jewel shards." He said, turning and heading for the village. Kagome trotted after him, Shippou sitting comfortably on her shoulder. They walked in silence, in which was often broken in by Shippou telling Kagome something.

Upon arriving at the village, several small children ran up to greet their 'Lady' Kagome and 'Lord' Inuyasha. Shippou jumped down off Kagome's shoulder, and turned a hopeful look her way. Kagome nodded, and he smiled brightly. He joined the other children in a game of tag as Kagome and Inuyasha entered Kaede's home. They walked in to see Sango hitting Miroku upside the head with her boomerang, face red with embarrassment and anger.

Sango turned to smile at the two, after beating up Miroku. " Hi Kagome, Inuyasha."

" Hey Sango." Kagome said happily, smiling at her sister like figure.

" Ah, hello Lady Kagome." Miroku said, sitting up. : Inuyasha didn't make a move on you with Shippou around did he?" He asked slyly. 2 fists ( kagomes, inuyashas,) slammed into his head along with Sango and her boomerang, knocking him out.

Sango turned back to Kagome. " Want to go to the hot springs?" she asked.

Kagome nodded to her, then turned to Inuyasha. " Make sure to keep Miroku here. If he sees us, you'll BOTH be dead." With that said, Kagome gathered up her bathing things, Sango too. The two girls left the hut, and Kagome called out to Shippou.

" Son, do you want to come with us?" Shippou paused running away from the tagger, and he got tagged. He shook his head at his mom, and started to chase the others.

Kagome laughed slightly, and she and Sango headed for the hot springs alone. They undressed and climbed into the warm water.

Sango grinned across the springs at her. " So Kagome, how was this 'skool' that you go to?"

Kagome sighed, resting her head on her arms. " I got transferred to a new school for missing to many days. The good thing about that, is that I am now going to the same school as my cousin."

Sango smiled at her. " So, you'll be okay, right?"

Kagome nodded with a laugh. " Yeah, I'll be fine."

Sango then smiled slyly. " So... have you admitted it yet?"

Kagome blinked at the brown haired girl. " Admitted what yet?"

" That you love Inuyasha."

Kagome grinned. " Yeah, well have you admitted your feelings for Miroku?" Seeing Sango's blush, Kagome laughed. " Yeah.. I've admitted it to myself.. But I don't want him to see Kikyou when he sees me."

Sango smiled gently at her. " I'm sure he doesn't."

The two girls talked more, then finished up and got out. They dressed and headed back for the village. Once there, Kagome cooked up some ramen for the others and herself, and nighttime fell.

Kagome was climbing into her sleeping bag, when Shippou bounded up to her. He curled next to his mother, falling asleep. Kagome smiled gently down at her son, kissing the top of his head. She burrowed into her sleeping bag, sleep taking over her.

From a tree branch above them, Inuyasha watched this exchange, quietly, thinking of what a good person Kagome was.
