Running
*Inu don't belong to me but story line does!!
Inu Yasha stood watching the well. The well that Kagome came out of. Kagome...The beuatuful goddess that should know better than to return to him, a selfish hanyou that cannot even tell someone about his feelings. He had to be rough with her so that she wouldn't get attached to him, so when he died fighting Naraku she could still be happy.
Inu Yasha knew that it was impossiable for them to be together. He wanted to so badly, but it just couldn't happen. He knew that she and her family would be happier if she was always at home. He looked towords the well again and started to walk away.
He smelled Kagome all of a sudden. That sweet honey suckle scent that drove him absolutly insane. He looked twords her and opened his mouth to call out why she was so late.
As he saw her he saw a woman with desperation on her face. Her eyes filled with tears, and her clothing ripped and torn. She ran to him and hugged him tight.
Inu Yasha looked at her, and then to her clothing. 'Something must have happened, and I wasn't there to protect her!' he smelled fear in large waves coming off of her and he realised she was saying "don't tell me no, please, don't leave me." over and over again.
Inu Yasha looked her straight in the eye and asked, "What happend?"
"Inu Yasha, you know your sword?" She asked quietly.
"Yes, what about it?"
"Well, imagine that times 1,000."
"That would be incrediable, it could destroy your large village with power to spare, Why?"
"Well, there is a thing called a bomb in my time, it is like your sword only 1,000 times stronger. It hit my city. My family and I just made it alive, every building is destroyed."
I was in shock, Kagome almost died?! No way is she ever going back with out me now. "You are NOT going to go back unless I am there. Understand?"
"Inu Yasha, I cannot go back, my family and I just made it here in time before the well collapsed. The rest of my family is in the well right now. I'm scared for them. My mother needs to see Kadea. She is badly hurt." Kagome was now crying as she spoke to Inu Yasha.
"Don't worry Kagome. They can stay here, mabye even stay in the village."
"Thank you so much Inu Yasha."
'Wow, she is living here now, with me, with her family. '
Kagome suddenly swooned, and started to fall. He caught her and started twords the well. He looked inside and saw her family. Her grandfather, her brother, and her mother who was bleeding alot. She had many cuts up and down her body. he lept down and picked all of the up gently with his demon strength. Kagome and her mother one his broad back, and her grandfather, and brother in his arms. He started leaping twords the village. Until someone stepped in his way.
~*~
Sesshoumaru was on his way to bother his brother for his sword. It was now a sort of pastime now which was fun. His brother had a temper that was fun to mess with.
Sesshoumaru made for the well which Inu Yasha was at most of the time. He was coming twords it when he smelled that bitch that Inu Yasha dragged around come out of the well. He also smelled others. As he took a deep breath to find out who, his senses were asulted with the scent of a woman. She was covered in blood, but she smelled of roses, and lilys. He had never liked flowers but this scent enticed him.
He looked at his brother on which was coming twords him and noticed an old man, and a young boy in his arms, and the bitch, and another woman on his back.
Sesshoumaru was about to call out for his iddioutic brother to fight him but was surprised when his brother just leaped passed him and kept going.
Sesshoumaru was entranced on why his brother decicded to ignore him all of a sudden. He flew above his back and started to notice the other woman, she had a pretty rounded face, and her face was in a look of pain. She had a wisdom about her, and she was at peace. He felt his heart twinge when she cried in pain all of a sudden.
He realized that she was human and was disgusted with himself. He smelt her scent and found out that she was the mother of the small boy, and the bitch. He found out that she was not married, and that he was daughter of the old man.
~*~
By now Inu Yasha had reached the village and was setting the Higarashi family inside Kaede's house. He noticed that Hotari (the grandfather) was giving Kaede a leecherous grin, not to unlike Miroku's. He wouldn't be surprised if he groped her. He explained to Kaede what Kagome had said, and then she explained to the other parts of the team.
Shippou made a beeline to Kagome and was now just sleeping next to her. Sota was talking with another village boy, Kaede, Sango, Miroku, Hotari, and Myoga were tending Kokota (Kagome's mother).
Hotari was also talking to Myoga about the Feudal Era and how they were going to survive there.
Kaede welcomed them all to the village of Edo and would greatly appriciate their company. Kaede was a little wary of Hotari though.
~*~
Sesshoumaru watched the human woman healed by the older woman and he felt like he was responsiable. 'Get a grip on your self 'Maru, you are the lord of the Western Lands, You could kill them all and no even care.' Sesshoumaru looked around for the strange voice which was in his head, and saw nothing so he went back to watching the group.
Sesshoumaru watched Rin play in the field of yonder and Jaken yell at her. He kicked Jaken out of the field and took Rin to see Kaede. He wanted to get a closer look at the strangely dressed human woman and he wanted to talk to his mutt brother about who they were.
~*~
Inu Yasha lay next to the door with Kagome crying softly into his jacket and his heart being pulled and prodded a little more to Kagome as she cried for her lost family, lost friends, and her mother being hurt so badly.
Inu Yasha suddenly tensed, he smelled Sesshoumaru. As he quickly explained to the group he ran of to meet his half brother that was so stuck up.
Inu Yasha met Sesshoumaru at the village border and noticed Rin, that meant he did not want to fight. Inu Yasha put his sword back into his sheath and eyed Sesshoumaru with suspicion.
"What do you want, bastard?"
"I only want to see what the wench is crying for and who the strangers are, for this is MY land." Sesshoumaru said smugly.
"The hell it is, the people are the family of Kagome, their village was burned by youkai, and they were the only survivors." Inu Yasha lied.
"I see. Well I must be going, you bore me."
As Inu Yasha grumped Sesshoumaru left. He would be back later when he felt like it.
Inu Yasha walked back into the hut and started to talk to Kaede. He was asking were the Higarashi's were going to live since the well was destroyed and they couldn't go back. She said that they might as well just live in the village and the village people could make them a house.
Kagome agreed to this and now Inu Yasha was happy. He said it was because Kagome couldn't go back for school, and her family was here. But secretly he was just jumping for joy because he could always be around her and protect her now.
Inu Yasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Sango were discussing were to go next. Shippou and Sota were having a good time playing, and laughing together. Sota was happy because he found new friends, and he lived now basiclly with Inu Yasha his hero.
Kagome was so torn up inside that she asked to rest there for another day. "Inu Yasha, I really want to think, all of my other friends are dead, we are now living in an age with no running water!"
Kagome was not that sad about living with her true friends but she still had trouble beliving that she was going to live there for the rest of her life.
~*~
"Kagome,"
"Yes Inu Yasha?"
"Are you so sad about living here?" 'with me'
"No, not that sad, just missing all of my home, and other friends."
"Oh,"
"Why do you ask Inu Yasha, do you want me to have died?"
"NO,NO,Nonononono, that isn't what I meant."
"Oh, what did you mean?"
"Well, it's just that I don't know if your mother will let you come with us on shard hunts ounce she sees the demons."
"Oh, I see."
Kagome walked of and Inu Yasha started thinking on how they were going to let her mom let Kagome go with them. They were talking a little and Inu Yasha was discussing with himself if he should tell Kagome how he feels about her. 'You know you like her, you are just a scardy cat!' 'Am not!' 'Are to, you are arguing about Kagome with your self.' 'what ever,' 'Just tell her!' "NO! I WONT!!"
"Inu Yasha?"
"Sorry Kagome,"
"Umm. are you okay. You keep talking to your self about telling someone something."
"umm.I am fine."
"Okay, I need to go talk to my mom for a sec. Be right back."
As Kagome walked back to the hut, Inu Yasha followed her to see what she was going to talk about. He got there and heard Kokota talking to Kagome, "If you really like him, go ahead and get to know him some more. We will be living here now any way. I want to have some grandchildren you know,"
"MOM!! I haven't even told him I like him yet!"
"Oh well, go tell him dear."
"No way! He likes Kikyo." Kagome said in a small sad voice.
"Really, does he protect her, does he stay with her, does he.. Never mind."
"Okay I see your point, maybe there is a chance. I could still be just a shard protecter to him."
"Oh I don't think so honey."
"Well, thanks any way. I will be leaving tommorro okay?"
"Sure thing. Oh and tell Inu Yasha you like him please?"
"Well, I will if the time is right."
"Okay, I do want grand children okay?"
"MOM! I HARDLY THINK INU YASHA WOULD LIKE ME THAT WAY EVEN IF I LIKED HIM THAT WAY! WHICH I DO SO DON'T DO THAT!"
"Okay, Kagome you don't have to yell."
"Gr.."
Inu Yasha heard what Kagome yelled but almost died of a heart attacke. 'She likes me?! I thought she hated me!'
Inu Yasha watched Kagome hug her mother then leave.
"Inu Yasha, why don't you come in."
"..."
"I know your there."
"Yes, Ms. Higarishi?"
"I know you heard what she said. What do you think of her?"
"Well.I..do like her."
"Do you like that Kikyo?"
"No, she was a first friend."
"Good, take care of my daughter, I will see you later."
"Yes ma'am."
Inu Yasha walked out the door and saw Kagome. He took a big wiff of her scent and found a sweet, inviting scent on her. He was confused but nodded it off as one of her shampoos. He watched her and noticed that he was starting to get aroused.
'What the hell?'
Inu Yasha walked quickly away from her and started to go get the others so that they could go off.
~*~
Inu Yasha and the others were walking down the road and Kagome wore a kimono since she was living here. She was going to have fighting clothes like Sango and regular clothing like Sango.
Kokota had suggested this since they now lived here and she wouldn't need her uniform. Kagome was still silent but cracked a smile every ounce in a while when someone joked.
Inu Yasha decided to stop early that evening for Kagome. They were setting up camp when Myouga came hopping to his 'Lord.'
"Lord Inu Yasha. A word please?"
"Sure Old Man, what do you need?" Inu Yasha asked a little agitated. Kagome's scent was now driving him crazy and he had no idea why.
"You need to protect Kagome from every male demon and don't let them get there hands on her."
"Why not?"
"You like her, do you not?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Well, would you want say.Kouga to mate with her forcefully?"
"WHAT THE F*CK!! NO WAY!!"
"Well, she is now in heat, a miko in heat gives strong pups, and especially a beautiful one like Kagome."
"Oh..Myouga, what is 'heat'?"
Myouga growled the word for heat in inu language and Inu Yasha gasped.
"WHAT!?"
"Yes, it's true. Keep a close watch on her."
"Okay."
"Thank You. I must take my leave now."
"Okay."
As Myouga jumped off Inu Yasha pulled out his sword for if Myouga left then some danger was coming. Surely enough Kagome shouted,
"Two shards coming EXTREMELY fast."
"Shit, Kouga."
After what Myouga said about 'heat' Inu Yasha was already enraged before Kouga was even in sight.
"Hello Dog-turd."
"Bastard."
Kouga should up in a whirl wind of dust and air.
"Kagome, *sniff, sniff* Your in.."
Kouga never finished his thought before Inu Yasha swung at him. They fought as usuall, Kouga ran away, and Inu Yasha gloated, it was the same ever time.
"Well, that was quicker than usuall." Said Kgome.
"Yeah."
"Inu Yasha Kouga said I was in something, what is it?"
"Um..nothing, don't worry about it."
"Okay,"
Inu Yasha and the group kept going, occansionlly fighting some small youkai that wanted the shards. Every one was very bored.
"Inu Yasha, lets do something else."
"Shut up brat."
"Inu Yasha, be nice."
"Feh."
"Kagome, can we do something?"
"Sorry Shippou. I don't have anything we could do."
"That's okay, as long as you're here."
"Thanks Shippou, that makes me feel good."
"Your welcome, hey Kagome. I have a question."
"Shoot."
"Well, my dad always carried my mommy (CUTE!! ^_^) into a cave every month a week before she smelled like blood. You smell like that. Why?"
"Um..*BLUSH* I will tell you when your older. *BLUSH*"
Inu Yasha watched Kagome get really red when Shippou asked why she smelled sweet.
Inu Yasha also wanted to know the answer but he wouldn't be caught dead before asking that. They all started to go to sleep and Inu Yasha started to sleep.
~*~
Kokota was drying her son's, her father's, and her selfs clothing to dry. She was adapting nicely to this new era. She was very happy that she could be with her daughter. As she was shaking out a blouse she felt a shiver down her spine.
She looked behind her and saw no one. She rubbed her arms and looked again. 'Hm. I thought I saw someone...'
~*~
Sesshoumaru watched the human woman and took another sample of her scent. He noticed how she looked about his age if he was a human. He watched her and noticed how her shorter hair would swing in the breeze.
He took a wiff of her scent and was so entranced that he didn't notice her look over at him until she almost saw him. He watched her go back to whatever she was doing.
~*~
Rin came up to Sesshoumaru and watched him watch the new pretty woman. She liked her on the spot and decided to say hello.
Rin walked towards the pretty woman and said,
"Hello."
"Oh.hello little one. What's your name?"
"This is Rin."
As she pointed to herself.
"Hello Rin. Where are your parents?"
"Her parents, died by wolfs."
Said Sesshoumaru after walking out of the brush.
"OH..Are you her guardian?"
"...Yes.."
Sesshoumaru wondered why she didn't cower in fear like all those other worthless humans.
"Oh I see. What is your name?"
"I am Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western Lands."
"Good Evening Lord Sesshoumaru."
Kokota made a slight bow towards him
"Good evening."
They stared at one another taking in each others figures, and forms. Kokota realized that this 'Sesshoumaru' was a demon.
"Might you be a demon?"
"Yes, I am an Inu Youkai."
"I see. You are not half like Inu Yasha."
"No.Though he is my half brother."
Kokota realized that this was the person that Kagome was talking about that wanted to kill Inu Yasha.
"I hear you dislike your half brother."
"Intensly."
"I see."
Another pregnant pause. They both were thinking of what to say next.
"Come in and sit with us. I am making some tea."
Sesshoumaru was a little taken aback on the invite to sit with her, and drink tea.
".."
"Come in."
Sesshoumaru followed Kokota and walked into her modest shelter. (Kaede's house.)
"Hold on, I will get the tea ready."
".."
Sesshoumaru watched the little boy run in and shout,
"MOM, DO YOU KNOW A SESSHOUMARU!?"
"Yes dear, he's sitting in front of you."
"Oh, hello Sesshoumaru-sama. A little girl named Rin is outside and is asking permission to go play with me? Is it alright?"
"..Yes.."
Sesshoumaru marvled how the little boy did not fear him either. He watched the boy run out and start talking excitedly about him to Rin.
"Your dad is really COOL!! He is as cool as Inu Yasha!"
"Yep, but he is not Rin's dad. He is Rin's friend!"
"Oh-Okay."
They went of to play when Kokota came back with some sweet smelling tea, and a teapot.
They drank there tea in silence. Sesshoumaru was amazed o find that something sweet was mixed in with the tea and was very tasty. He asked about it and was replied that it was 'sugar.'
Sesshoumaru and Kokota were talking and kept talking long into the night. Rin and Sota were introduced and they slept in the back room together. Kokota got tired and offered to let Sesshoumaru stay the night, and he accepted.
(Kaede was off at another village tending some sick people.)
Sesshoumaru watched Kokota sleep. He was so amazed that one human woman had made him laugh, smile, and tell a joke when smiling seemed like a myth to him.
~*~
Inu Yasha woke every one up that morning and started breakfast. He remembered that Kagome could not provide them with food because she couldn't go back to her time. He went and caught a couple of rabbits, and a duck.
Miroku and Sango were still asleep when he got back. Shippou and Kagome were talking. She was telling him a story about three little pigs. When Inu Yasha came back he walked up to them and set the rabbits down.
"Hello Inu Yasha, I will start cooking." Kagome started to reach for the rabbits when Inu Yasha said,
"Don't worry, I will get it." He started some water boiling and ran of to get some vegetables, and spices. He came back and started to cook.
He started to skin the rabbits and peeling the potatoes, and carrots. Pretty soon he had a delicious stew bubbling. He gave some to Kagome, Shippou, and himself. He set the rest on the coals to keep warm for Sango, and Miroku.
Kagome and Inu Yasha ate in silence. Kagome was about to leave when Inu Yasha said,
"Shippou, I need to talk with Kagome very quickly. Could you please go get some water for us?" he said quietly so that Kagome couldn't hear. Shippou nodded and started off.
"Kagome?"
"Yes Inu Yasha?"
"Please, would you drink this?"
"...why?"
"I promise it wont hurt you."
"Um.. Okay..."
Inu Yasha handed Kagome a little dark liquid in a piece of bark. Kagome sniffed it and sipped it in question. Inu Yasha watched with a taught body. She seemed to like and drank the rest.
"Okay Inu Yasha. What was that stuff. It tasted like honey, but does NOT look at all like the stuff.
"Well, its...."
(CLIFFY!!!! YEAH!!!)
(Sweat drop. ^_^')
Okay, what do you think the stuff should be. I will update it in 4 days. PLEASE TELL ME!! I HAVE NO IDEA!!!
*Inu don't belong to me but story line does!!
Inu Yasha stood watching the well. The well that Kagome came out of. Kagome...The beuatuful goddess that should know better than to return to him, a selfish hanyou that cannot even tell someone about his feelings. He had to be rough with her so that she wouldn't get attached to him, so when he died fighting Naraku she could still be happy.

"Inu Yasha, you know your sword?" She asked quietly.
"Yes, what about it?"
"Well, imagine that times 1,000."
"That would be incrediable, it could destroy your large village with power to spare, Why?"
"Well, there is a thing called a bomb in my time, it is like your sword only 1,000 times stronger. It hit my city. My family and I just made it alive, every building is destroyed."
I was in shock, Kagome almost died?! No way is she ever going back with out me now. "You are NOT going to go back unless I am there. Understand?"

"Don't worry Kagome. They can stay here, mabye even stay in the village."
"Thank you so much Inu Yasha."
'Wow, she is living here now, with me, with her family. '
Kagome suddenly swooned, and started to fall. He caught her and started twords the well. He looked inside and saw her family. Her grandfather, her brother, and her mother who was bleeding alot. She had many cuts up and down her body. he lept down and picked all of the up gently with his demon strength. Kagome and her mother one his broad back, and her grandfather, and brother in his arms.

"Kagome,"
"Yes Inu Yasha?"
"Are you so sad about living here?" 'with me'
"No, not that sad, just missing all of my home, and other friends."
"Oh,"
"Why do you ask Inu Yasha, do you want me to have died?"
"NO,NO,Nonononono, that isn't what I meant."
"Oh, what did you mean?"
"Well, it's just that I don't know if your mother will let you come with us on shard hunts ounce she sees the demons."
"Oh, I see."
Kagome walked of and Inu Yasha started thinking on how they were going to let her mom let Kagome go with them.

"Inu Yasha?"
"Sorry Kagome,"
"Umm. are you okay. You keep talking to your self about telling someone something."
"umm.I am fine."
"Okay, I need to go talk to my mom for a sec. Be right back."
As Kagome walked back to the hut, Inu Yasha followed her to see what she was going to talk about. He got there and heard Kokota talking to Kagome, "If you really like him, go ahead and get to know him some more. We will be living here now any way. I want to have some grandchildren you know,"
"MOM!! I haven't even told him I like him yet!"
"Oh well, go tell him dear."
"No way! He likes Kikyo." Kagome said in a small sad voice.
"Really, does he protect her, does he stay with her, does he.. Never mind."
"Okay I see your point, maybe there is a chance. I could still be just a shard protecter to him."
"Oh I don't think so honey."
"Well, thanks any way. I will be leaving tommorro okay?"
"Sure thing. Oh and tell Inu Yasha you like him please?"
"Well, I will if the time is right."
"Okay, I do want grand children okay?"
"MOM! I HARDLY THINK INU YASHA WOULD LIKE ME THAT WAY EVEN IF I LIKED HIM THAT WAY! WHICH I DO SO DON'T DO THAT!"
"Okay, Kagome you don't have to yell."
"Gr.."
Inu Yasha heard what Kagome yelled but almost died of a heart attacke. 'She likes me?! I thought she hated me!'
Inu Yasha watched Kagome hug her mother then leave.
"Inu Yasha, why don't you come in."
"..."
"I know your there."
"Yes, Ms. Higarishi?"
"I know you heard what she said. What do you think of her?"
"Well.I..do like her."
"Do you like that Kikyo?"
"No, she was a first friend."
"Good, take care of my daughter, I will see you later."
"Yes ma'am."
Inu Yasha walked out the door and saw Kagome. He took a big wiff of her scent and found a sweet, inviting scent on her. He was confused but nodded it off as one of her shampoos. He watched her and noticed that he was starting to get aroused.

"Why not?"
"You like her, do you not?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Well, would you want say.Kouga to mate with her forcefully?"
"WHAT THE F*CK!! NO WAY!!"
"Well, she is now in heat, a miko in heat gives strong pups, and especially a beautiful one like Kagome."
"Oh..Myouga, what is 'heat'?"
Myouga growled the word for heat in inu language and Inu Yasha gasped.
"WHAT!?"
"Yes, it's true. Keep a close watch on her."
"Okay."
"Thank You. I must take my leave now."
"Okay."
As Myouga jumped off Inu Yasha pulled out his sword for if Myouga left then some danger was coming. Surely enough Kagome shouted,
"Two shards coming EXTREMELY fast."
"Shit, Kouga."
After what Myouga said about 'heat' Inu Yasha was already enraged before Kouga was even in sight.
"Hello Dog-turd."
"Bastard."
Kouga should up in a whirl wind of dust and air.
"Kagome, *sniff, sniff* Your in.."
Kouga never finished his thought before Inu Yasha swung at him. They fought as usuall, Kouga ran away, and Inu Yasha gloated, it was the same ever time.
"Well, that was quicker than usuall." Said Kgome.
"Yeah."
"Inu Yasha Kouga said I was in something, what is it?"
"Um..nothing, don't worry about it."
"Okay,"
Inu Yasha and the group kept going, occansionlly fighting some small youkai that wanted the shards. Every one was very bored.
"Inu Yasha, lets do something else."
"Shut up brat."
"Inu Yasha, be nice."
"Feh."
"Kagome, can we do something?"
"Sorry Shippou. I don't have anything we could do."
"That's okay, as long as you're here."
"Thanks Shippou, that makes me feel good."
"Your welcome, hey Kagome. I have a question."
"Shoot."
"Well, my dad always carried my mommy (CUTE!! ^_^) into a cave every month a week before she smelled like blood. You smell like that. Why?"
"Um..*BLUSH* I will tell you when your older. *BLUSH*"
Inu Yasha watched Kagome get really red when Shippou asked why she smelled sweet.
Inu Yasha also wanted to know the answer but he wouldn't be caught dead before asking that. They all started to go to sleep and Inu Yasha started to sleep.

Kokota was drying her son's, her father's, and her selfs clothing to dry. She was adapting nicely to this new era. She was very happy that she could be with her daughter. As she was shaking out a blouse she felt a shiver down her spine.
She looked behind her and saw no one. She rubbed her arms and looked again. 'Hm. I thought I saw someone...'
~*~
Sesshoumaru watched the human woman and took another sample of her scent. He noticed how she looked about his age if he was a human. He watched her and noticed how her shorter hair would swing in the breeze.
He took a wiff of her scent and was so entranced that he didn't notice her look over at him until she almost saw him. He watched her go back to whatever she was doing.
~*~
Rin came up to Sesshoumaru and watched him watch the new pretty woman. She liked her on the spot and decided to say hello.
Rin walked towards the pretty woman and said,
"Hello."
"Oh.hello little one. What's your name?"
"This is Rin."
As she pointed to herself.
"Hello Rin. Where are your parents?"
"Her parents, died by wolfs."
Said Sesshoumaru after walking out of the brush.
"OH..Are you her guardian?"
"...Yes.."
Sesshoumaru wondered why she didn't cower in fear like all those other worthless humans.
"Oh I see. What is your name?"
"I am Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western Lands."
"Good Evening Lord Sesshoumaru."
Kokota made a slight bow towards him
"Good evening."
They stared at one another taking in each others figures, and forms. Kokota realized that this 'Sesshoumaru' was a demon.
"Might you be a demon?"
"Yes, I am an Inu Youkai."
"I see. You are not half like Inu Yasha."
"No.Though he is my half brother."
Kokota realized that this was the person that Kagome was talking about that wanted to kill Inu Yasha.
"I hear you dislike your half brother."
"Intensly."
"I see."
Another pregnant pause. They both were thinking of what to say next.
"Come in and sit with us. I am making some tea."
Sesshoumaru was a little taken aback on the invite to sit with her, and drink tea.
".."
"Come in."
Sesshoumaru followed Kokota and walked into her modest shelter. (Kaede's house.)
"Hold on, I will get the tea ready."
".."
Sesshoumaru watched the little boy run in and shout,
"MOM, DO YOU KNOW A SESSHOUMARU!?"
"Yes dear, he's sitting in front of you."
"Oh, hello Sesshoumaru-sama. A little girl named Rin is outside and is asking permission to go play with me? Is it alright?"
"..Yes.."
Sesshoumaru marvled how the little boy did not fear him either. He watched the boy run out and start talking excitedly about him to Rin.
"Your dad is really COOL!! He is as cool as Inu Yasha!"
"Yep, but he is not Rin's dad. He is Rin's friend!"
"Oh-Okay."
They went of to play when Kokota came back with some sweet smelling tea, and a teapot.
They drank there tea in silence. Sesshoumaru was amazed o find that something sweet was mixed in with the tea and was very tasty. He asked about it and was replied that it was 'sugar.'
Sesshoumaru and Kokota were talking and kept talking long into the night. Rin and Sota were introduced and they slept in the back room together. Kokota got tired and offered to let Sesshoumaru stay the night, and he accepted.
(Kaede was off at another village tending some sick people.)
Sesshoumaru watched Kokota sleep. He was so amazed that one human woman had made him laugh, smile, and tell a joke when smiling seemed like a myth to him.

Inu Yasha woke every one up that morning and started breakfast. He remembered that Kagome could not provide them with food because she couldn't go back to her time. He went and caught a couple of rabbits, and a duck.
Miroku and Sango were still asleep when he got back. Shippou and Kagome were talking. She was telling him a story about three little pigs. When Inu Yasha came back he walked up to them and set the rabbits down.
"Hello Inu Yasha, I will start cooking." Kagome started to reach for the rabbits when Inu Yasha said,
"Don't worry, I will get it." He started some water boiling and ran of to get some vegetables, and spices. He came back and started to cook.
He started to skin the rabbits and peeling the potatoes, and carrots. Pretty soon he had a delicious stew bubbling. He gave some to Kagome, Shippou, and himself. He set the rest on the coals to keep warm for Sango, and Miroku.
Kagome and Inu Yasha ate in silence. Kagome was about to leave when Inu Yasha said,
"Shippou, I need to talk with Kagome very quickly. Could you please go get some water for us?" he said quietly so that Kagome couldn't hear. Shippou nodded and started off.
"Kagome?"
"Yes Inu Yasha?"
"Please, would you drink this?"
"...why?"
"I promise it wont hurt you."
"Um.. Okay..."
Inu Yasha handed Kagome a little dark liquid in a piece of bark. Kagome sniffed it and sipped it in question. Inu Yasha watched with a taught body. She seemed to like and drank the rest.
"Okay Inu Yasha. What was that stuff. It tasted like honey, but does NOT look at all like the stuff.
"Well, its...."
(CLIFFY!!!! YEAH!!!)
(Sweat drop. ^_^')
Okay, what do you think the stuff should be. I will update it in 4 days. PLEASE TELL ME!! I HAVE NO IDEA!!!
