*This is my first FanFic, and I really miss writing about Masao, Yomi and modern InuYasha. So since my writing skills have gotten better, I decided to write about what was happening with these three in the middle of the story. It may be longer than normal chapters, but whatever! I love these guys! :)*

"Ka-go-me-chan!" InuYasha called to the priestess in a mocking tone. "I'm going home! Is that okay with you? I've gotta get your permission, right? 'Cause you're the boss of me with that 'sit' thingy, right?"

He returned her furious look with a fake smile.

"You never used sarcasm when you were here…" she sighed.

"You should smile more often!" Yomi said, walking up to the well InuYasha was next to. "You look so cute when you do!"

InuYasha would've blushed and protested, but a force knocked him over from behind.

"Yeah!" Masao yelled. "Ya do look cute! Absolutely AD-OR-AB-LE! It makes me just want to hug yooooouuuuu!"

"Get off!" InuYasha snapped, squirming under Masao.

"InuYasha!" Shippo bounded over to the two. "How come Masao's on top of you?"

InuYasha went over the possibilities of what Shippo might've been thinking about. "Wha-?! No! It's not what it looks like! I swear!"

"Yaoi!" Masao cooed, burying his face in InuYasha's hair.

"Yaoi? What's that?" Sango asked, hearing the commotion and exiting the hut with Miroku.

"Now, now," Yomi scolded. "Don't go making InuYasha uncomfortable like that. Let's go, okay."

Masao whimpered and got off his friend. InuYasha got up and punched Masao several times.

"Owww!" Masao whimpered. So mean! You're so mean!"

The trio jumped down the well.

"Hey, you know what I just thought?" Masao asked on the way down.

"I don't think I could ever guess," InuYasha scoffed.

"Maybe this well could take us to another time!" Masao said. "Like, the future! And you'd be some destined robot to save the world from the apocalypse and such."

"Ugh, don't even start," InuYasha groaned. "I've already got enough problems with Kagome."

The trio landed on the dirt floor and climbed up the vines. They ran to InuYasha's house and walked inside.

"Mom!" InuYasha called. "Huh. Guess she's not here."

Yomi dropped her backpack onto the couch and opened it, rummaging around for something.

"Burger!" Masao shouted. "Is there a burger in there?!"

InuYasha slapped him in the back of the head and sighed. "So weird. You're SO weird."

"Says the half-demon," Masao said. "You're part dog, right? Does that mean you've got dog ears? They probably look so cute on you!"

"Here we are," Yomi said. She pulled out a cell phone and started texting someone. "Better tell my folks I'll be gone for a while. They're probably worried already."

"What an old fashion place you've got here," Masao commented, studying the living room. "No TV, I don't see a cell phone…"

"Maybe it has something to do with you being from the past," Yomi suggested, putting her phone away.

"I never was interested in modern stuff," InuYasha said. "Anyway, let's pack up."

"I don't have a backpack…" Masao whined. "Do ya have another one?"

InuYasha pulled his own school book-bag from the closet and threw Masao an old black one.

"Meh," Masao sighed. "Looks disgusting."

"It's real old," InuYasha said. "But, hey, you wanted it."

"Let's see…" Yomi grunted, picking things off cabinet shelves and the fridge. "Okay, I think we've got enough food."

"Thank God!" Masao exclaimed. "I don't want rice no more! Got any ice cream?"

"We don't eat ice cream," InuYasha said. "Plus, genius, ice cream melts. You think they've got refrigerators five hundred years in the past?"

"You don't eat ice cream!?" Masao gasped. "Are you even human?! Oh, well…" He realized what he said and scratched his head. "Still, you're still half human right?"

"You guys want to go somewhere before we leave?" Yomi asked, packing the boys' packs too. "Nothing's really happening over there, so we've got time in modern day. Right?"

"Sure!" Masao answered. "Where do ya want to go?"

"Um, I don't know," Yomi said. "Let's go get burgers." She smiled cutely at Masao, who's face lit up.

"Here that, dog, boy?!" he shouted. "Burgers!"

InuYasha rolled his eyes. When he was in modern day, he was accompanied by an idiot. When he was in the past, he was surrounded by idiots.

"I don't really want to…" he sighed.

"Bah, you're no fun!" Masao groaned. "Fine, we'll go back."

"Okay, then," Yomi said. "Let's go."

They silently jumped down the well and climbed out, greeted by a bored looking Sango.

"'Sup, Granma?" Masao called. She threw her boomerang at him and he fell backwards, back down the well.

"Nice shot," InuYasha complimented. "But what's with you?"

"Ah, nothing," Sango sighed. "It's just that before I married Miroku there used to be so many demons to slay. Not that I want them to come back, but it's a little dull with nothing to do…"

"Hey, uh," InuYasha interrupted awkwardly. "I slayed demons, I right?"

"Yeah," Sango replied, not sure where this was going.

"Was I any good?" he asked shyly.

Sango blinked. "Of course. You'd be dead by now if you weren't. Trust, me you were pretty good when it came to that."

InuYasha looked up hopefully. "Really-

"I think it was your violent tendencies, though. Can't go two minutes without hitting something. I guess that's why you bully Shippo so much."

InuYasha scowled at her. "Can't say anything nice without adding something bad to it, can you?"

"Be nice," Yomi ordered in her mother-like way. "I'll go see if Kagome or Kaede needs any help."

She strode off, leaving InuYasha and Sango alone.

"I really hate it when she bosses me around like that…" InuYasha sighed.

Sango looked as if she wanted to say something but found it unwise at the last second. "Sure."

"Hey, I've got a question," InuYasha continued.

"What?"

"I saved everyone here from some kind of fate, right? Kaede told me. I saved Kagome from that Mistress Centipede thing, I saved Shippo from those two guys that killed his dad, Miroku, well, he sort of tagged along but I saved his life a few times. Then there's you."

He tilted his head and grinned sardonically. Saved her from Naraku's manipulation even after she tried to kill him.

"Yeah," Sango replied flatly.

"So if that's true…" His smile faded. He sort of seemed like a confused child. "How come everyone here hates me?"

Sango almost dropped her boomerang. "Say again?"

"Well, no one here seems thankful if I save them or even if I try to be nice to them. They don't even attempt to see things trough my eyes. I was raised differently, remember? But no, it's all gotta be about them." InuYasha crossed his arms. "Get it?"

"I…guess," Sango answered slowly. "Um, well, if you did feel that way you should've said something. Took you long enough."

"Because back then I must've been more reserved," InuYasha added. "Growing up in modern day is different."

Sango tensed, her guard up.

"I get it," InuYasha sighed again. "You aren't used to me being this open. Okay, I'm done."

He walked off. Sango cocked her head and stared until he went inside the hut. He really had changed, hadn't he? He wasn't the same irritating demon she knew. Well he was still irritating, she'd give him that. But…perhaps she could get used to this version of him.

Although she liked the normal him better.

Meanwhile

InuYasha walked inside to see Kagome and Yomi tending to Shippo, who was lying down with a cloth on his forehead.

"And your problem is…?" he asked.

"He's got a fever," Yomi answered. "Don't hit him," she added quickly.

"I'm not that cruel," InuYasha snapped. He sat down next to Shippo. The fox's eyes were closed and he was breathing hard. "Now if this happened to me, no one would care."

"Gee, wonder why," Kagome spat, refusing to look at him.

InuYasha put a hand on the cloth on Shippo's head. "You awake, kid?" he asked flatly.

Shippo weakly opened his eyes. "What do you want?"

"Just wondering." InuYasha rested his head in his knees. "Now go back to sleep. I don't want to hear you run your mouth."

Kagome opened her mouth to tell him to "sit," but Yomi put a hand on her shoulder.

"May I talk to you outside?" she asked. Kagome nodded and swiftly left and Shippo began to tell InuYasha off.

"Don't be so hard on him," Yomi ordered, "He was caring about Shippo and just didn't want to show it. They're like brothers."

"Well, I know they care about each other, but…" Kagome's voice faltered. She didn't have much of an argument.

"Please think twice before saying it," Yomi sighed. "He'll trust you more until he gets his memories back."

Kagome nodded. "Yeah, thanks."

Masao pulled himself out of the well, finally. "Darn it, where's Gran?!"

Masao continued to shout expletives about his ancestor. "I hate to say it," Kagome whispered. "But sometimes I wish he had a sit command."

"AGH!"

"AH! Get off!"

"KAGOME!"

"I think he did a face-plant on Shippo," Yomi pointed out.

"Oops," Kagome giggled. "Sorry, InuYasha!"

Inside, InuYasha got back onto his knees, made sure Shippo was okay, and groaned.

How could he ever have loved a stupid girl like that?

*That's it! :( I can't type much right now, but I think I captured Masao's personality much better in this! Please review!*
