Chapter Four

Kagome's mom

Even though Inuyasha thought she was sleeping, little Kagome was awake, but she was pretending to sleep (something little kids are famous for) 'What does he mean "return to my proper age"? What age am I supposed to be?...DID HE JUST SAY HE LOVES ME?' Her thoughts became so complex, she eventually did fall asleep. Inuyasha noticed her breathing deepen and become steadier, and immeadiatly blushed. 'Did she hear me? Oh crap, if she did, and tells her mom, her mom could tell her when she turns 15 again and…and…I'll be so screwed!'

When they arrived at the well, Inuyasha held her tight to his chest and jumped into the well, the blue light was completely familiar to him now, but he immediately worried about the small girl and held her closer, fearing whether or not she would be cold. He made contact with the bottom of the well, and leapt out with ease. He, then, ran to the door into Kagome's kitchen, and stood there for a while to think. 'Will Kagome's mom actually kill me? I mean, her daughter is a toddler…again. Might as well get it over with'

Mrs. Higurashi stood with her back facing Inuyasha. "Hello, dear, Did Inuyasha let you come back, and soo soon, too! I know you might not like him all the time, but I can tell that he loves you, and wants you to be happy! I mean, last time you were here and you almost started crying…"

A red- faced Inuyasha immeadiatly cleared his throat to try and get her to stop 'God, does everyone know I love Kagome, except for Kagome!'

"Oh, Hi, Inuyasha!" she chirped, blushing, "Sorry...but isn't Kagome in your time."

"Something… happened." Inuyasha couldn't look at her, his gaze immediately focused on the ground.

"What! What happened?"

"Well, um, when we were in a, um, a battle, uh..."

"WILL YOU GET TO THE POINT?"

"AH," Inuyasha's ears went flat out of fear, "um right well, Kagome's a toddler now, and I thought you and I could better care of her than I could alone."

"Oh, Kagome!" tears immediately flowed into her eyes as she stole the little girl from the shaky hanyou's arms. "What happened?"

"Well, uh, Miroku and them said that when I was in battle with a demon named Nanita, I was changed into a toddler, but what happened next, nobody but Kagome knows, because the next thing I knew, I woke up in a crater and I found Kagome in another crater, how she is now. So, I thought that I can't take care of her alone, so I came to get your help."

"Makes sense to me, she must have found the demon and asked for her to turn you back, and asked for her to change her instead." Mrs. Higurashi was weeping at this point.

"No, Mrs. Higurashi, please don't cry, Miroku, Sango and I will find the demon and get Kagome back to normal!" He added reassuringly, he absolutely hated to see people cry, especially if it was his fault or it was Kagome.

Mrs. Higurashi then started to cry into Inuyasha's shoulder, causing him to blush thoroughly.

"Kagome and I already owe you so much, and now your doing all of this, you're such a good man, and you and Kagome belong together, and-and you're just soo kind and …"

"No, No, please, I'm not! Please stop crying please!" Inuyasha couldn't stand this, it was way too much. He grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back, "Kagome will be fine, and all will be normal, okay?"

She nodded, afraid if she opened her mouth, she would start to cry again.

"Okay shall we put Kagome to bed? I think you should go to bed, as well, this must be much more stressful for you than it is for me, and this is not fun for me, so it's gotta' be far more worse for you, right? We'll all go to bed and deal with this in the morning."
