Chapter five

I do not own Inuyasha

xxxxx

Inuyash glared at her and Kagome glared back. After a few minutes of glareing, Inuyasha stood up and walked towards her. Kagome stood her ground, even though she was slightly scared right now and wanted to back up and 'sit' him to the core of the planet. Stopping where he was only a few inches away from her face, he furrowed his brows.

"What are you doing?" Kagome asked and started to back up. Inuyasha grabbed her arm and squeezed it and pulled her back to him. "Let go!" Kagome ordered him. He didn't and she slapped him. He grabbed her shoulders and picked her up till they were eye level. Kagome's feet dangled under her.

"'Let go' you say? I will never let you go, not again." Kagome furrowed her brows in confusion. "You said that you would come back but you packed up and left!" Inuyasha shouted at her. "You didn't even come back to see if Miroku died from the wounds he got from the final battle with Naraku!" His claws were digging into her shoulders and he realized that he was hurting her. Relaxing his grip, he set her back down and turned away from her.

"You thought I left..." Kagome said silently. She started to chuckle weakly and he turned and glared at her. She lifted her eyes and he was startled to see that there was tears forming in her eyes. She blinked them away and rubbed at her eyes and was he was shocked to see that tears started to flow down her eyes.

She furrowed her brows in anger and wiped the tears away. Inuyasha wipped one away that she missed and looked at his finger, instead of wipping it away, he licked it off his finger and gently took head head in both of his hands and bent down and kisses both her lids. Moving his head away where it was only a few inches apart, he looked into her eyes and saw the sorrow in her eyes. Kagome shook his hands off and sighed.

"Come in inside, I'll tell you what happened the day after we killed Naraku... Is Miroku--"

"No, he's not dead. Him and Sango have two little boys and if I'm not mistaken, I believe that there might be a thrid one on the way." Kagome smiled.

"Really? How about Shippo and Kaede?"

"Shippo, he vanished after you left... And Kaede, well, she kicked the bucket." Kagome's smile died away and she nodded. Inside the livingroom, Kagome handed him a cup of tea and sat down next to him. "So, what happened that is supposed to tell me why you didn't leave in the first place?"

Kagome sighed and stood up and leaned against the wall. "Well, after we killed Naraku I came here to tell mother that we finally beat our enemy." she paused and thought about it for a few minutes. Inuyasha started to tapp his finger on his leg and she held up a finger to tell him to wait.

"And?" he asked after a few minutes. She gave him a look that told him to be quiet. He gulped, he knew that look, and if he went on it'll end with a sit.

"Well, mom was here, so was Sota. Mom, she said that we had to go the hospital right away. Cause Gramps was on his...deathbed."

"What happened to him?"

"A terrible cause with some kind of sickness in his lungs. I can't remember what all she said. Anyways, we got in the car and headed towards the hospital. On the way there, I saw it coming... mom didn't I yelled, she looked and by then, it was too late." she sighed and tears shone in her eyes. "A large truck that carries a large load of cargo," she explained to him, "a semi hit us in the side..." she took a deep breath and continued. "When I awoke, it was ten years after the accident. I learned that when the truck hit us, it killed mom and Sota. Almost killed me, I don't know how I survived it..."

Inuyasha looked away and stared at the cup of tea in his hands. Kagome started to say something, but her voice broke and she dropped the cup and buried her face in her hands. Inuyasha jumped up and set the cup down and was standing next to her with her in his arms in three strides. She gripped his kimono and buried her face into his shoulder.

"Gramps died without any of us by his side." she gasped, fighting against the tears. "But at least he didn't die with the knowledge that his daughter and grandson were dead, and his granddaughter in the same hospital in a coma." Inuyasha held her close and his heart felt like it was ripped out of his chest with the pain he felt coming off of her in great waves.

Inuyasha pulled away and wipped away her tears. "Now you know why I wasn't there for these past ten years." Kagome took a deep breath and smiled up at him. Inuyasha couldn't saw anything, he was so stunned. She didn't run off, she was at the hospital this entire time.

Kagome took a step back and wipped her cheeks off. "I'm sorry about that. Tell me, are the others as sore about me leaving them, like you are?"

He shook his head, "They were alittle, but not as much as I was." he smiled at her and she smiled back weakly. "Come on, let's go give them a surprise visit?"

"Kay!" Kagome said and followed Inuyasha outside, the broken tea cup forgotten were it lay.

Stepping out of the well, with Inuyasha's help, Kagome took a deep breath and looked around. "Odd, Miroku and Sango aren't here. They must have gone home." Kagome shreiked with glee and ran in a large circle.

"Nothing's changed at all!" Kagome shouted happily and stopped and looked at Inuyasha. He had his hands buried in his sleeves, smiling, as he watched her run around. Kagome ran back towards him and tackled him. Inuyasha yelped in surprise and fell over with her on top. Their faces inches away, Kagome blushed and looked away but Inuyasha ran his hand through her long hair.

"Neither have you, except the fact that your hair is much longer. Longer then mine in fact."

"You like it?" she asked touching her hair. He smirked and gripped her face between his hands.

"Yes, I like it very much." and pulled her head down and claimed her mouth with his own. Kagome gasped, but gave in and Inuyasha rolled over and pulled away and brushed her cheek with his claw.

"Kagome... I... I've missed you terribly."

"So have I, I've missed you so much Inuyasha." she said and grabbed his hair that hung on the side of his face and pulled him close and wrapped her arms around his neck. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close. He pulled away and the two stared into each others eyes. Inuyasha opened his mouth to saw something, but a very high shreik of glee met their ears as a, slighty bigger, poof ball tackled Kagome from the side and squeezed her around the neck.

Inuyasha blinked and jumped up. Kagome picked up the kitsune and squealed also and clamped him to her chest and squeezed him tight.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't shorty." Inuyasha said, resting his hands in his sleeves. Shippo jumped up on her shoulder and nuzzled against her face.

"Kagome! I've missed you so much!"

"Shippo!" Kagome kissed him on the cheek and Shippo laughed and hugged her tighter and Kagome squeezed him close.

Inuyasha stood watching the two, little runt. Ruining out little moment there. But it is great to see him again. Inuyasha bent down and placed his hand on his head. "It's great to see you again you little runt."

"Yes, it is. Shippo, I've missed you sooo much!" Kagome said.

"Kagome, why did you leave us?" Shippo asked, pulling away and looked at her. Kagome touched his nose with her forefinger.

"I didn't leave you silly, I was... asleep all this time." she said so she didn't worry him.

"Asleep?" Kagome shook her head yes and smiled at Shippo and back at Inuyasha.

"You can sleep for ten years? Without wakeing up?" Kagome nodded and Shippo's mouth made a tiny o and she hugged him tight. Inuyasha bonked him on the head and Shippo whined.

"That's for leaveing us, and this," he hit him again, "is for interupting us." Shippo whined and started to cry and Kagome smiled.

"Sit boy." Inuyasha feel face first and glared up at her and she bent down and kissed his nose and he groaned, defeated.

Awww, Shippo's back! Well, I hope you enjoyed it and don't forget to reveiw soon! byes.
