-With The Others-

"Guys! Look!" Kagome shouted as she ran ahead of the group "What is it 'Gome?" Sango yelled as she and the others ran to catch up to Kagome. Kagome smiled as she looked back at them "I can see Haru!" Kagome looked forward and her smile faded as she saw Inuyasha running towards him 'What's he doing?'

She began to panic while she tried to run faster 'Please don't hurt him Inuyasha!' She thought with worry.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted as she got closer and saw him turn towards her "K-Kagome?!" Inuyasha smiled at her then said something to Haru before the pair ran to her.

Kagome opened her arms as Haru jumped towards her and they hugged each other "I missed you so much Haru!" Haru nuzzled her cheek "I missed you too Kagome"

-What really happened-
Inuyasha and Haru had been playing a game that Haru had come up with, It was where one would run toward the other and test their quickness to get away before being hit by the one running toward them. They were having so much fun most of the morning and early afternoon "Let's play again Inuyasha!" Haru giggled while he positioned himself a small distance away from Inuyasha.

Inuyasha nodded before running toward Haru "Inuyasha!" Inuyasha skidded to a stop then turned to the voice that called him "K-Kagome?!" A smile formed on his face before he looked at Haru "Haru, Kagome found us!" He then ran to Kagome as Haru followed after him.

Inuyasha smiled even more when Kagome and Haru hugged each other "I missed you so much Haru!" Haru smiled then started nuzzling her cheek "I missed you too Kagome" Kagome let go of Haru before standing up to face Inuyasha "Inuyasha.." Tears formed in Kagome's eyes "..I'm so glad you and Haru aren't hurt"

"Inuyasha made sure I wasn't hurt!" Haru piped up as both Kagome and Inuyasha looked down at him "You did?" Kagome asked with a smile as she hugged Inuyasha.

Inuyasha blushed "Y-Yeah.."

After reuniting, The gang decided to settle down near the river to rest.

Kagome yawned as she returned to camp after bathing by herself 'Time for bed' She thought with a smile as she made her way into camp "Haru..?" She looked around for him but couldn't find him "Ha-" Inuyasha cut her off "Shh Kagome" Kagome looked up at the branch Inuyasha was sitting on and gasped as she saw Haru snuggled up on Inuyasha's lap.

"What the..?" Kagome walked up the tree "How come Haru is sleeping in your lap?" She started to climb up the tree and almost fell but Inuyasha helped her up onto the branch "Because I let him" Inuyasha grumbled as he looked down at Haru.

"But I thought you didn't like him..?" Kagome tilted her head in confusion "I never said I didn't like him..I was just annoyed that you gave all of your attention to him..." Inuyasha confessed as he blushed. Kagome smiled as she leaned against Inuyasha's shoulder "You're so kind Inuyasha" Inuyasha blinked "Kind?!" He growled out "Feh..I ain't kind" He mumbled.

Kagome giggled as she slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, Everyone was up and ready to go except for Kagome. She seemed to not want to get up and nobody knew why "K-Kagome.." Haru whimpered as he tried to wake her up "Kagome please wake up"

"Pup, Don't disturb her" Inuyasha growled as he walked over "Just let her sleep"

Haru nodded before curling up and snuggling close to Kagome.

-Hours later; Afternoon-
Kagome yawned and stretched out his arms as she stood up "Mmm..." She opened her eyes and saw her friends staring at her "You finally woke up wench" Inuyasha grumbled before Kagome angrily yelled out "SIT BOY!" She walked passed Inuyasha and headed over to her bag.

Haru soon woke up as well "Kagome..You woke up"! He smiled and jumped to his feet "Yup" Kagome walked over to him.

"Wanna come with me, Sango, and Shippo? We're gonna go bathe before we leave" Kagome smiled at him

"Kagome! What the hell is wrong with you? He's just a pup! He shouldn't go take a bath with you and Sango!" Inuyasha snapped "Shut up Inuyasha! Shippo is young too but we let him come bathe with us" Kagome glared at him "Yeah, I agree with Kagome" Sango piped up "Besides, He'll probably be too busy playing in the water to see us"

"Fine..Whatever" Inuyasha growled as he jumped onto a tree branch.

Kagome and Sango giggle before going off to the hot spring nearby with Shippo and Haru.

-With The Girls, Shippo & Haru-
Kagome sighed with contentment "Ahh...This feels so good.." She closed her eyes and leaned back to relax "Ah! Shippo stop splashing water at me!" Haru whined as he splashed water back at Shippo.

Kagome and Sango chuckled as they watched them play.

-1 Hour Later-
The girls, Shippo, & Haru soon came back from bathing and after the group ate, They decided to move on to continue their Journey.

A/N: How was this Chapter?
It seems Inuyasha and Haru have bonded since being separated from the group.
Anywho, I'm working on two other stories so the next Chapter might take a while.

You should know that I have a friend whose little cousin bathed with an older Cousin so I figured it was normal for this Chapter.
