Everyone, I'm sorry if I don't post on this story much. But it's taking some time to write, especially with my family. It dosen't really help that it seems like a grand total of two people are reading this. I'm prepping for my red belt test and for the CKD convention in July as well, so don't shoot me if it ain't perfect, okay?
This is dedicated to my cousin (You know who you are)! Love ya cuzzie!

I don't own it. All I own are my poptarts…
"Kagome, besides. I-" Inuyasha was cut off by Sango entering.
"Kagome! You're awake!" She said, going and hugging the other girl gently.
"Yeah…" Kagome replied, a little stunned.
"Good, your mom wants to see you. Here, I'll take you to her!" Sango said, picking Kagome up. Inuyasha stood quickly, and took her from Sango.
"I'll carry her." He said with a faint growl in his voice. Sango blinked, staring at him.
"Okay…" she said, turning and taking him to where Kagome's mom (AN: I don't know her mom's name, someone tell me!) was. The woman welcomed them, and smiled when Kagome was set down next to her.
"Can I talk to my daughter alone?" She asked imperiously. The area was immediately vacated, at least as fast as the group could get away. The woman may be wounded and only related to Kagome but she was bossy enough they would always obey her, much like Kaede.
KNITWITMUCH? WOW,BUTSOMEMOMSAREBOSSY!
Inuyasha sighed, sitting on a bench.
"What's wrong Inuyasha?" Shippo asked, sitting on his shoulder and poking Inuyasha.
"Yeah! You've been guarding Kagome this entire time. That isn't normal. Normally you at least go terrorize the local cats, or spy on the bathing women, or scare Kaede." Sango chimed in.
"So spill, doggy boy." Miroku commanded. Inuyasha growled, then sighed. He looked at the ground, a little embarrassed.
"She needs looking after, that's all!" He lied.
"Duh. But normally you let us help!" Said Shippo, looking him in the eyes and trying to decipher the half-demon's reasons.
"I need her to find the stupid shards, don't I? That's the only damn reason!" Inuyasha growled, smacking the little fox demon off of him and onto the ground. The little boy rolled backwards, and unhappily sat in the dirt, staring, before getting up and sitting on Sango's shoulder.
"Inuyasha, why are you so defensive? Sure there isn't another reason? Like maybe, oh, I don't know, the obvious fact you are head over heels in love with the girl?" Miroku asked.
"Yeah right! I only work with her cause she can see jewel shards. I hate humans!" Inuyasha snapped.
"Suuuuure." Sango said disbelievingly, crossing her arms.
"C'mon Inuyasha. You just scared she'll fall for Koga?" Miroku said insultingly. Inuyasha growled loudly.
"Admit it! You just don't want her to fall for Koga!" Shippo said, jumping on the bench next to Inuyasha.
"Yeah! And if you don't love her, why did you insist on carrying her?" Sango demanded, hands going to her hips as she glared at Inuyasha grumpily.
"FINE! I love her, dammit! Happy now?" Inuyasha snarled, getting up and stomping away. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo all looked at one another shocked.
"Did he just say?" Sango said. Shippo nodded, and she sat down on the bench hard. Kagome, when he told her, would be thrilled.
"Wow…" Miroku said. He sounded respectful. And awed.
"He really does love her. How sweet and romantic…" Sango said, eyes going all starry. Miroku and Shippo groaned. They hated it when either one of the girls got like this.
"Get over it Sango." Shippo said, disgusted. "Love is love! Get over it!"
"Shut up Shippo, some of us actually have romance in our blood, and dreams of love!" Sango yelled at him. Shippo leapt onto Sango, and started pulling her hair. Sango tried to pry him off, yelling.
"Break it up!" Miroku yelled, yanking Shippo off Sango. Shippo and Sango both crossed their arms and looked away, hmphing. Shippo wriggled and scampered off, presumably to sulk. Sango pouted.
"Meanie…" She muttered. Miroku laughed, sitting next to her.
"Cheer up Sango. I think your being romantic isn't stupid or anything like that at all." He said sweetly.
"Aww, thanks Miroku." Sango said, smiling at him.
"Your welcome, my d- YEOWCH!" Miroku yelled as Sango slapped him, because he had started rubbing her butt.
"Pervert!" she yelled at him, getting up and stomping away, making Miroku sigh.
"But my dear, I was only trying to cheer you up!" He called after her, hopeful that she would forgive him.
"Yeah right!" She volleyed back angrily.
"But… But… But…" Miroku stuttered before sighing and hanging his head dejectedly.

"Mom? Do you mean it?" Kagome asked her mother as Inuyasha came into hearing range.
"Yes dear. We never really belonged anyway." Came her mother's sweet, caring voice.
"I love you mom." Kagome said, voice soft, hugging her mom lightly, as it hurt sorta.
"Inuyasha!" Her mom yelled. "Are you out there?" She asked. Inuyasha responded by coming in. Kagome had a smile on her face, a tiny sad smile that made his heart do flips.
"Inuyasha, mom says I can live here, and she and Sota will too! She'll teach the village children and stuff." Kagome said, actually semi-happy.
"That's right. Now why don't you take Kagome back to where she is sleeping? She needs her rest." Her mother bossed Inuyasha.
"Alright." Inuyasha said, picking Kagome up gently. She wrapped her arms around his neck to steady herself, but she looked like it hurt. The pain numbing substance that Kaede had given her was beginning to wear off, and it showed. Inuyasha ser Kagome down on her pallet, as Sango joined them. She smiled at Kagome.
"Feeling better?" She asked Kagome, who nodded slightly.
"It hurts…" Said the schoolgirl softly.
"This should help with that. Inuyasha, help her sit up." Sango said.
"Yes Sango." Inuyasha said as he obeyed, letting Kagome lean on him. Sango carefully got some of the potion Kaede had told her to give Kagome when it wore out. She helped Kagome drink it gently, a slight smile on her face. Kagome drank what Sango told her to, and Sango took over supporting her friend.
"Inuyasha, why don't you go hang out with Miroku?" Sango suggested. He took the hint and left, leaving the two alone.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I would appreciate a couple more reviews, if it ain't too much trouble. I even have Anonymous enabled. Sorry about the cliffhanger, but That's just how it ended up.
Love you all.
