Hey guys sorry its a bit late. I've been on vacay and swim season just ended and such. And i've also been working on a cute oneshot Im hoping to have out by next week.

Enjoy the chapter! R&R! :)

Inuyasha smiled at himself when he woke up the next morning and saw both of his and Kagome's tea mugs still full from last night. He then looked down at the sleeping girl in his arms, her raven hair askew over her ivory pillow. He still couldn't believe his luck with this girl, he had never deserved anything like her, yet she was his. If only it could stay like this forever.

To be honest, he had never expected his life would turn out like this. All throughout his childhood people had teased and criticized him for being a half demon, saying that he was the one to cause his mother's death. From the time she died to the time he met Kikyo, he had always been rejected by everyone and everything. Now everything was completely different. It had changed, for the better. He now had friends, a pack, and a mate.

'Well…' He thought with a slight frown. 'I wish she would be my mate. I wonder if she would say yes though. I still can't believe that she actually loves me. Its so unreal.'

By the time that he had finished his thoughts, Kagome was waking up in his arms as the bright sun's light reached her face too.

"Uh… it can't be morning yet. It's too early." Kagome said groggily, burring her face deeper into Inuyasha's bare chest while lifting the covers up over their heads.

"But it is." Her hanyou replied, chuckling softly. He buried his nose deep into her hair, inhaling her scent as he embraced her. Jasmine and vanilla, it was intoxicating.

"Shut up no its not." She replied trying to wipe the sleep from her eyes.

"Okay then its not. However it is 9:30 though." Inuyasha said. Kagome had still not opened her eyes.

"A.M. or P.M.?" The miko asked.

"The hell is that?" Inuyasha asked, staring at her confused.

"Does the clock say AM behind the time or PM?" She was so used to having him around that she had forgotten that he was not from her time.

"AM."

"Oh my gosh!" Kagome yelled screaming as her eyes shot open and she jumped out of the bed. "We're gonna be late!" She screamed again, causing her hanyou boyfriend to flatten his ears against his head. She ran into the bathroom in a hurry, not leaving Inuyasha a chance to say anything.

"Wench…" He mumbled while getting out of the bed, stretching as he stood up.

"I love you too." Kagome called from the bathroom before he heard water begin to run in the bathroom.

He smiled when he saw his clothes laying out, folded for him. She always took such good care of him, he was determined to always take good care of her.

He listened for a moment to the water from the shower before deciding whether or not to get dressed. He decided that he might as well since she was going to be in there for at least a few more minutes since she was just now getting out of the shower. He changed into a navy blue shirt and kacki shorts.

Inuyasha was pulling down his shirt when he heard his name called.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome said quietly as she came out of the bathroom in the hotel's fluffy white towels hanging off of her frame.

Inuyasha was kind of shocked. Here he was, only wearing shorts, his rock hard abs glistening as he stood in awe. Kagome was across the room only in a towel, her wet hair dripping from her flushed face. They were both turning pink.

Kagome was afraid to say anything, but she really needed her clothes back. "Um… I need my clothes." She said as she pointed to a pile of folded clothes on the counter.

"Um yeah." Inuyasha said as he tossed the pile of clothes to her. Kagome caught it almost instantly, only problem?

Her bra fell out.

Kagome rushed to pick it up when she saw Inuyasha's face smirk, then ran to the bathroom. Gosh she couldn't wait til they were alone tonight.

"Miroku, do you feel that?" Sango asked all of the sudden, lifting her head from her weapon. She had been cleaning it all day.

An aura filled the air, it wasn't necessarily bad, but it wasn't necessarily good.

"Yes. I wonder what he's doing here." The monk replied as he got up from his positioned to go outside. He looked over in the corner of Kaede's hut, Kik-er- Momoko was sleeping soundly. It was probably for the best that she remained in the hut while he was around.

Sango also stood up, ready to go. She too glanced at Momoko before leaving the hut.

Outside, Sesshoumaru stood with Rin and Jaken by his side waiting for them to come out. Once the monk and demon slayer were outside, he realized that not only was there a new aura around this village, but his brother and the miko girl were both gone.

"Where is my brother?" He said with no emotion as Rin began to fidget. She looked around the demon slayer and monk, there was a girl coming out of the hut behind them. It was that priestess!

"He is with lady Kagome in her time."Miroku explained, still ready to attack if necessary.

Sesshoumaru turned around and started to walk away. That was all he needed. Jaken began to fallow him along with Ah and Un but Rin remained still, staring at the priestess.

Momoko caught her staring. The girl staring looked around her age, and had long black hair and a rather dirty looking orange kimono on.

"Who is that?" Rin asked quietly. Sesshoumaru instantly turned around to see. She was pointing to the new aura, but it was the priestess Kikyo. Why had her aura changed so?

Sango and Miroku also looked back to the hut where Rin was pointing at. They saw Momoko come out of the hut, staring and looking around. She had seen the ordeal.

Everything was quiet, Miroku decided to speak up. "That is Momoko, she is a family member of lady Kagome's. Kikyo switched bodies with her though, and we were trying to figure out a way so we could get her back into her body in the future and get Kikyo out.

'Interesting.' Sesshoumaru thought, instantly his sword the tensaiga gave off a pulse. He reached down and touched it, it was still pulsing.

Everyone stared in shock as Rin came up to Momoko. "Hi, I'm Rin." She said with a smile.

Momoko returned it with a smile. "I'm Momoko."

Rin then ran back to Sesshoumaru and tugged on his robes. Everyone looked shocked as they watched this whole exchange. Sesshoumaru looked down at Rin's smiling face. She was like a daughter to him. He listened as she made her request. "Can we help her?"

"I just love the beach!" Chiriho exclaimed as she lifted her arms up in glee. Ryuu behind her was stuck with her shopping bags. As her arms went up into the golden sunlight, Kagome caught sight of a gleaming silver charm bracelet.

"Yeah you love it." Ryuu said sarcastically. Chiriho had him holding four bags. How much was she going to buy?

"You know you love it too Ryuu!" She exclaimed dancing around as the group walked through town.

"Hey look at that shop over there you guys." Ryuu said, seeing a shop across the street that he wanted to go into. Chiriho gave it a glance before deciding that she didn't want to go into it.

"Hey Inu what do you say just me and you go?" Ryuu suggested since Chiriho was being such a hard head. Inuyasha gave it a moments consideration before agreeing.

"Sure why not. Just be careful you guys." He said, kissing Kagome goodbye with a small chaste kiss on her lips.

"Always are." Chiriho said as she led Kagome away towards an ice cream shop while Ryuu and Inuyasha went towards the shop across the street.

All of the sudden something grabbed both Chiriho and Kagome from behind, dragging them both into a deserted ally before knocking them out.

All that was left in the ally way was a bright silver charm bracelet.

"Hey guys, where is Hojo today?"Ayumi asked her friends as they walked back into their hotel room from going out to lunch.

"Oh my gosh I can't believe that we just realized that he's been gone." Eri said, setting her purse down on the desk in their room and taking off her shoes.

"Yeah actually come to think of it, we haven't seen him since like what two days? Its been great!" Yuka added.

"True. I wonder what he's been doing…" Ayumi said her mind wandering to Kagome and Inuyasha. 'I hope they are okay…'

A jolt went through Inuyasha's stomach causing him to grunt in pain. This was not good.

"Man, you okay?" Ryuu asked him as he browsed through the store.

Instinct took over almost imminently to Inuyasha, something was not right. His ears flattened on his head, he needed to get to Kagome. Now.

"Ryuu come on we need to get to the girls." Inuyasha said as he pulled Ryuu along by the arm, walking out of the shop. When they got back to the place where they had parted, the girls were nowhere to be seen. They both looked around, hoping to see them somewhere.

A bright flash of silver came from the dark ally way behind them. Ryuu went into the ally way to see what it was, it couldn't be? Could it?

Inuyasha stood still looking around for them outside, he couldn't pick up their scents either. This was not good. 'Kagome…' He thought with the worry churning in his stomach.

"Inu. Come here." Ryuu managed to get out when he realized exactly what that silver object was. Inuyasha walked over to Ryuu and looked down at the ground.

There lay a gleaming silver charm bracelet.

Chiriho's.
