A/n: I'm soooooo sorry I haven't updated in a long time! This is how it went, I first twisted my brothers arm and then for that I got grounded off the computer for a week, then I had a huge Science thing due Thursday and I have one of the worst cough in the world. I also have been having a huge writer's block which makes it hard to update. So here is chapter12!

Chapter 12

Kagome turned side was to look at him. They were in the middle of a field full of cherry blossoms.

"What is it Inuyasha?" She asked the hanyou.

"You know a bit of courting, right?" He asked.

"Yeah?" She said

"Well do you know that every week you have to be remarked, until you're marked, or if you just don't what to be with me anymore. And that tomorrow will be exactly a week since I marked you last." Inuyasha told her. She didn't know what to say so Inuyasha decided to talk again. "All you until the end tomorrow to decide if you want to stay courted…or leave." He said the last word sadly. Once again Kagome was silent.

"You don't have to come and make dinner for me today." He leaned forward and kissed her on the fore head.

"All see you later Kagome." Inuyasha then suddenly ran into the forest.

"See you later." Kagome said and with that she kept on walking till she was at her hut. It was dark out side and the sun was fully behind the forest. (a/n: The hut faces the forest.)

She walked into the hut finding her Okan-san sitting on the floor.

"Hey Okan-san." Kagome said lightly.

Mrs. Higurashi turned her head to face her daughter.

"Kagome…you have finally awakened!" She stood up and walked up to Kagome and gave her a bone crushing hug.

"Hey, how's Souta?" Kagome asked.

"He's missed you; he's in his room now, supposed to be sleeping." Mrs. Higurashi said giggling.

"I didn't miss her." A voice from a room over yelled.

"Missed you to Souta!" Kagome laughed.

"Yeah yeah, night Okan-san, Kagome." Souta said falling into a deep slumber. Kagome just shook her head and sat down while grabbing a bowl of warm soup. She gulped it down rapidly, until it was all gone.

"Well I'll be going to sleep now Okan-san. All see you in the morning." Kagome yawned out. She slowly started walking into her room. She had to think a bit before fall asleep. She laid down on her futon and stared up at her ceiling, with her hands behind her head.

'Do I still want to stay with Inuyasha? He is really nice when you get to know him, and he is very handsome, and I just love his eyes. (sigh) Know what I think I'll…' she drifted into a solemn sleep.

(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)

(Yawn) Kagome sat up letting the blankets roll down her upper body. She starched her arms up in the air yawning again. She stood up and fell right back on her bum.

'Do I really have to get up?' She wondered 'I think I'll just go and visit Sango.' She stood up and made her way to the door. Once she was in the main room, she had come to the conclusion that she wasn't hungry. So she left the hut and headed towards Sango's hut, where her and her brother lived. Her parent's died from a spider youkai, protecting the village. Once they had died that dreadful day Sango took full responsibility of taking care of Kohaku. Kohaku is an 11 years old kid. Him and Souta usually hang out with each other, but some times they decided to play with other kids around there age. Sango, Kagome, and Miroku have known each other since they were young. When Sango's parents she was around 14 while Kohaku was only 7. With the help of Kagome's family and a bit from Miroku, and his foster parent, and the rest of the village Sango and Kohaku got through it.

Kagome walked into the well known hut, it was almost like her second home to her. There was no one around so she decided to look in some of the rooms. First she went to Sango's room and found nothing but an un-made futon. She walked into Kohaku's room and found the same thing. All of a sudden Kagome felt something heavy and her shoulders, and did the first thing that came to mind. She grabbed on what seemed to be an arm and swung the object over her back making it land on its back, sprawled on the floor. There on the floor was Kohaku.

"WOW Kagome that was awesome! Can you teach me how to do that!" A brown haired boy asked.

"Oh I'm so sorry Kohaku I didn't know it was you!" She said worryingly.

"It's ok, but that was so cool!" He said with a goofy smile.

Kagome giggled then asked if he had seen Sango.

"Yeah she should be back really soon." He said.

"Ok I'll just stay until she gets back, if that's all right with you?" Kagome said/asked.

"That's all right with me. I'm going to your hut to see Souta anyway. See ya around Kagome." Kohaku said running out of the hut.

Kagome sat down against a wall thinking and not really paying attention around her. She brought her knees to her chest and swung her arms around them. It was a couple hours before noon, but Kagome's mind was else-where then her stomach. Her thought were on a certain boy, to be more exact a certain hanyou boy. Deep in thought Kagome didn't realize who was in front of her.

"Hi Kagome!" Sango chirped up.

"AIEEEEEE!" Kagome yelled.

"Kagome! Kagome it's me!" Sango yelled over her screaming.

Kagome finally stopped screaming once she saw it was Sango.

Kagome and Sango sat down and decided to chat. They were talking like crazy, any thing that came to mind they would talk about. They kept talking until Sango brought up a subject that Kagome didn't expect.

"So Kagome how's Inuyasha lately?" Sango asked.

"He's great, just…" Kagome wondered.

"Just what!" Sango asked very into the conversation know.

"Well the beginning of the week he decided to mark me for courting. And since the mark isn't permanent he has to remark me at the end of every week until I am mated or if I live him. And today is the last day of the week. Meaning I have to decided if I want to stay with him or not, by the end of today." Kagome answered. Kagome waited for Sango to answer, it felt like forever until she answered.

"So what are you going to do?" She asked, wondering what answer she would give her.

"Well I think I'm going to say." Kagome was cut off by someone walking in.

"Hello beautiful ladies. How are we today?" Miroku interrupted.

"Oh hey Miroku, I'm doing fine. How are you?" Kagome said happily.

"I'm doing fine as well Kagome thank you for being concerned about me, ah and how about you lady Sango?" He asked ever so politely.

"I'm fine." She said turning back to Kagome.

"Kagome would you like me to make lunch?" Sango said a little too politely.

"Umm…Sure" She answered nervously.

"Miroku would you be a dear and fetch us some water for noodles?" Sango asked oddly.

"Anything for you my lovely Sango." He said and went to get the water.

Sango turned to Kagome once again, and then let a loud sigh out.

"Kagome this is a little hard for me to say but… I think I love Miroku. Sango whispered so only Kagome could hear.

"Well that's no surprise. You two were always meant to be since you were 1 years-old." Kagome said making Sango smile but I soon as she did she frowned.

"But Kagome he is such a womanizer, he touches almost any pretty girl that walks by. I don't think he like's me like that." She said sadly.

"Sango I'm most positive he feels the same way. The look in his eye's when he sees you or talks to you just say's he love's you." Kagome said putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

Miroku walked in with a bucket full of water and then they made noodles for lunch. All three of them talked for hours and occasionally you could hear "HENTAI" then a slap after a couple seconds. Once Kagome finished helping Sango and Miroku clean up lunch, she said her goodbye's and left to go home until she had to leave to see someone.
