Summary: OOC. AU. Whence running from school in the rainiest day ever, ever feel like theirs something watching you? While running down an ally Kagome meets a glare from a pure white dog, hiding from the rain? T for random foul language.

Chapter 24 – The Way Home

Kagome went over to him and put her hand levering it over his lifeless body, she seemed to search it til she got to his right hand. There she drew out a black marble, as soon as it left his hand, his body disappeared into nothing. The back marble seemed to tremble then with black sparks spilling from it the black turned to a pink-purple colour.
The way it should be.

Kagome after clipping it to a chain she had in her pocket, put it over her head and under her shirt, and then turned to the people watching her silently. She then smiled to them, in an "it's all right now" way.

With knowing that Naraku was dead, they headed the way they came from, sights for going home.

Kagome was scaringly quiet

However, everyone knew why and they all let her be.

Though none let it show, they were concerned for her. However, at the same time awed at what she did. They had no clue how she knew he was there. Behind them all the way, so they'd get hurt, but he wouldn't.

They had to stop because of nightfall and because of Kagome who was beginning to tire.

The fight they had was a toll on all of them, and they all fell asleep as soon as they stopped.

They got up early the next morning eager to set off, which is everyone but Kagome. Inuyasha didn't mind letting her sleep on his back, she would get more sleep, and they would get more ground covered before she woke.

Though Inuyasha remembered, half way through the night when he woke up, he wasn't cursed anymore. He involuntarily looked over to Kagome. He would still be able to live with her… right?

He was brought back to the present when the weight on his back shifted and a little feminine groan emitted from Kagome.

'Huh?' she asked as she always did when she woke on his back.

'Hey, Kagome.'

'Hm?'

'You weren't awake when everyone else decided to walk early, so we perched you on my back, hope you don't mind.

'Eh? I'm minding what?'

Inuyasha chuckled.

'You're not awake yet, are you?'

'Sleep…'

'I'll take that as a no.'

'You take a no for a drive, go around a corner…. Then have pizza…'

Inuyasha chuckled again then hitched her a little.

'Mean…. pizza…'

'Go back to sleep.'

Though he didn't need to tell her – she was already gone.

'Hey, Inuyasha?' a little boy's voice asked him, breaking his thoughts.

'Hn?' Inuyasha looked around to see Miroku and Shippo who was looking at him.

'Is Kagome okay?'

Inuyasha blinked then hitched Kagome, who groaned, then looked back to Shippo.

'Yeah, she'll be okay.'

Shippo smiled then nodded.

'So everything is gonna be okay, with her, and her family?'

Inuyasha blinked again.

'Oh!' he finally realised where Shippo was coming from. 'Yeah, they'll be fine, it's not like he was around, I lived with her for awhile, I didn't even know about him.'

At this Miroku stopped making Shippo lurch on his shoulder.

'You stayed at Lady Kagome's house?'

'Hey, I was cursed then, it's not like she could tell I was gonna go "Hi I'm a hanyou," I was a fuckin' dog for Kami's sake!'

Kagome groaned 'What about hanyou's and dogs?'

'Did anyone ever tell you not to come into conversations that are in progress?'

'Yep, but who follows that, I mean really?' Kagome asked.

'True.'

'So what's up? And don't you dare say sky.'

'Eh, Miroku found about the curse, and how I was staying at your house.'

'What's so wrong with that?'

'Dunno, but he finds something wrong with it.'

Sango came up behind him and hit him.

'Pervert.'

Both Kagome and Inuyasha laughed.
