A few "minor" demons had made unmemorable appearances that afternoon, attempting to steal the Jewel and having quick deaths at Inuyasha's claws, which vexed Kagome to no end. Still, he hadn't left, which Kagome was quite happy about. However, the appearance of the minor demons troubled Kagome more than Inuyasha intrigued her, so she went to speak with Kaede. As per usual, Inuyasha was lurking nearby, and jumped into the conversation.
"Fine, girl, go home! Just let me cut you open again, and..."
"Osuwari"
"I'm so glad you've begun doing that outside..."
"You're very welcome."
"Don't go on talking as if I'm not here!"
"I've questioned your judgement before, girl, so forgive me if I do it again..."
"From your perspective, I see why this seems unwise, but I assure you I've had seven fold more trouble in this place than back home."
"Fine! Leave! See what I care!" Inuyasha said as he picked himself up off the ground.
"Inuyasha-san."
He twitched.
"I regret I did not hear your tale before I left."
He glared the other direction.
"And I'm sorry for bothering both of you all for so long." She said to Kaede. She turned to the boy who stared away from her. "Especially you, Inuyasha-san." She watched him twitch an ear at that. "You've been kept needlessly busy with those pesky minor demons."
"Feh. This world or any other, I'll get that Jewel from you, girl. Just wait and see!"
"Oh? Does that mean you're coming with me?" Kagome asked, her typical bemusement had a flick of excitement. She could work on him at her leisure.
"Feh! Don't be stupid!"
A woman from the village flagged down he elder miko. "Kaede-sama, could I have some of your time? My daughter is sick."
"Yes, yes." she answered the woman. "Girl, I wish you luck." she called back at Kagome.
A short silence followed. Then, Inuyasha gave a curt snort. "Well, with that hag out of the way, I can all the more easily-"
"Ho? Was the old woman really such an obstacle for you?"
More glaring.
"Inuyasha-san?"
"What?"
"Would you walk with me?"
