I ran my thumb over the screen of my phone, my eyes lingering on the raven-haired girl next to me. We both scowled at each other in the photo being nose-to-nose and in the middle of shouting at each other. Sango had taken this photo a while back before the accident. I smiled to myself.

"Inuyasha."

I quickly closed my phone and looked up. "Yeah?"

My father looked at his watch. "The flight will be leaving soon."

I nodded and slid it into my pocket. "Okay, I'm ready."

"Where are you taking me?" I giggled.

Sango dragged me out of my house, allowing me only enough time to get my shoes on then shoved me into her car and speeding off. Sango was really eager and just kept telling me to be quiet. But my curiosity was still eating me away and I really wanted to know!

"Just wait a while longer," she repeated. "And listen to music if you want. This trip will take awhile."

"Music?" I repeated back to her. "But I don't have - "

"Take these." Sango threw wires into my lap and then something metal - probably her iPod. I sighed and plugged them in, pressing play. Leaning back into my seat, I closed my eyes and listened as the music began to play.

Hello...how are you?

...

I awoke suddenly, not realizing I had fallen asleep. I felt around for the earbuds and found they were not there and neither was Sango's iPod. In fact, I wasn't even in a car anymore. I began panicking and strained to hear my surroundings.

"S-Sango?" I whispered frightened. It was noisy here and I couldn't make out any voices. Just a lot of conversations jumbled together and someone speaking over a loud speaker. I clenched my hands on my shirt hem and swallowed. Sango wouldn't leave me like this. She was probably in the bathroom or whatever and was coming back. She probably brought me in wherever I was since I fell asleep and didn't want to wake up. She definitely wouldn't leave me here alone. She probably...wouldn't...definitely...

I felt my throat lock with fear and I felt myself begin to get tighter and tighter, more anxious and scared as I waited for her return. With each passing second, I felt my insides get wound tighter and my heart accelerated. Where am I? Where am I? Where am I? I shook my head and tried to make sense of the jumbled words I was hearing. As soon as I began figuring it out, a sudden hand clamped over my eyes. I jumped with a yelp.

"Hey there, stranger."

My hands flew to the hand and my worries immediately began melting away. "Inuyasha?"

A deep chuckle. "In the flesh."

I smiled and immediately stood. "Inuyasha!"

He laughed and hugged me. "I'm here you dummy, stop you're crying."

I couldn't help it. Inuyasha was back. Inuyasha was actually here in my arms. All I could say was his name. "Inuyasha."

His warm breath tickled my cheek. "Kagome."

"Inuyasha," I whispered once more.

"Kagome, Kagome, Kagome," he tightened his arms around me. "I really missed you."

"I did too," I replied.

"So," he cleared his throat. "Will you marry me?"

"I really - what?"

[A/N] Been a while, eh? This chapter totally took me by surprise too despite the fact that it's extremely short. A thousand pardons! No magical kiss or anything, just that big question. Wowie! That must've been quite a shocker! I just felt like writing it badly. I'm not exactly sure I liked the way it turned out but it's all I've got for now so please be happy!
