Chapter Five: Home

After dinner they had basically talked about everything that had happened since they had moved away. Kagome and Sota left out all of the angst that had happened to them and stuck to the small but happy stuff. They were sitting in the living room now. It was about 8:30 when Kagome spoke up.

"Inuyasha will you drive us home?" She asked looking at him.

"Of course I would love to." He said smiling.

"Oh honey you can't, you promised Rin you would pick her up." Izayoi said in an apologetic voice.

"Oh that's ok I'm sure we can find our way home by our selves. Can't we Sota?" Sota nodded his head smiling.

"Oh that's stupid she's not my kid." Inuyasha protested.

"But you know how disappointed she would be if you didn't show up." Touga said. Kagome and Sota sat there quietly not wanting to interfere with there family matters, and wondering who Rin was.

"I would pick her up but you said you would." Sesshomaru added.

"Fine I'll go pick her up but we can't just let them walk home its getting dark."

"We'll be fine." Kagome said not wanting them to worry.

"I'll take you." Sesshomaru's cold emotionless voice cut threw her protest.

"But there are creeps out there Kagome, surely you can just let Sesshomaru take you?" Izayoi said in a caring tone.

"Ok Izzy." They all stood up. "Sota's and my backpacks are in Inuyasha's car so we have to get those real fast."

"Just hurry, I'll go get my car." They all said their goodbyes and Kagome, Sota, and Inuyasha went to Inuyasha's car. When they got their bags Inuyasha looked at Kagome before he got in.

"Just don't make him mad, ok?" Kagome gave Inuyasha a reassuring half smile.

"Don't worry we'll be fine." He ran his fingers threw her hair like she used to do to him. She almost gave him a true smile. She hugged him, but jumped away when she heard a horn honk startling both of them. She looked to see a bored looking Sesshomaru standing next to a black Viper, Sota was already sitting in the back. Kagome gave Inuyasha a warm look then ran over to Sesshomaru's car and jumped in.

"Took you long enough." Sesshomaru said starting to drive to the address Sota had told him.

"I'm sorry." She looked out the window blushing in embarrassment.

"It's fine."

"Then why did you say anything?" Kagome turned looking at him her face now flushed in anger instead of embarrassment.

"Because you amuse me." He mussed and watched her cheeks darkened even more in anger.

"Uhhgg you're still impossible." She groaned out.

"Just because you changed didn't mean I would." He said, his eyes not leaving the road.

"Sometimes you have to change." She said quietly.

"I noticed during dinner you guys avoided a lot, so what are you hiding?" He could smell the distress radiating off of them.

"I don't see how that has anything to do with you." She said coldly looking at him.

"Well seems to me that you are afraid of something."

"And what would make you think that?" She asked looking back out the window.

"Because you both are hiding something, like I said."

"Just what exactly are you insinuating?" He had reached her house so he pulled over and looked at her. She looked back at him. Cold amber met dull green laced sadness. Sesshomaru sighed and decided that he would deal with her tomorrow when she staid after school and graded papers or him.

"Its late I will see you in class tomorrow." He said softly. Sota got out and waited for Kagome who was still looking in Sesshomaru's eyes. She nodded

"Thank you." She whispered. She un-expectantly reached over and hugged him, he didn't react at first just kind of sat there, but then he wrapped his arms around her and brought her a little closer to him. It only lasted about 20 seconds but it brought warmth to both of them.

They pulled away and Kagome got out. She turned towards him and waved briefly before turning and walking up the stairs with Sota towards their 'home'.

'No this isn't a home; a home is a loving and happy place. This is defiantly not a home.' Kagome thought the same thoughts she had earlier that day just before stepping foot in the place that very well might end up being her demise.

Yeah I know it's short I cut a decent amount out of this chapter, putting up the next one probably later tonight. Let me know if anyone is reading this.

Love, Khristina.
