Hey everybody, as you see, I have updated thanks to two very loyal fans. I am glad that I finally got reviews because I was... *sniff* starting to think that you didn't like me anymore!
That's because they don't.

Anyways... on with the fic!
Seven: Deep Thoughts...
my! Look at the cherry blossoms filling the streets! Wow, that's why spring is definitely my favorite season, it's so lively and beautiful!" Kagome sat on a bench right next to Goshinboku in her own era. She had matured a bit over the past two years that she had stayed home, and definitely looked very beautiful in he gowned priestess garment. The white shirt matched her almost ivory skin and the red pants blended in with the flowers just blooming before Goshinboku's very roots. This was what spring was like.
has definitely happened over the past three years. I left Inu Yasha..." She looked at the ground and then stood up in a jolt of energy. "Don't start Kagome," She said to herself, "you have gotten over him and you have much more important things going on. I am finally getting close to becoming a full priestess!"
had long given up on school. It was an embarrassment if you were held back a grade, but that's what happened and she countered the school by saying that she would drop out and take care of the shrine as a priestess. This would definately help the city's culture, and it would be better because her grandfather wasn't much of a priest anyway!
Kagome! Kag-" Her grandfather was calling her. Kagome had run off to take a break from the lessons and duties of a priestess so that she could rest a bit, but her grandfather had found her. "What are you doing sitting under the tree? You'll never do anything by just sitting on your bum, so let's go. We have much work to do!"
stood up once more and then walked towards the shrine where she would be spending the next few hours, leaving the much-appreciated shade of the Sacred Tree behind her.
had been three years since Kagome had ceased her visits to the Feudal era and sealed the well, but it didn't seem like it. The days went by rather quickly, and not one passed that she didn't wonder how much of the jewel that Inu Yasha had collected. Sure, she said that she was over him, but Kagome didn't know where her feelings truly lied. Ever since her return, she had been dating Hojo, much to her surprise that he could be intellectual and was good company. He didn't even mind that she had Kioshi. In fact, Hojo was very nice to the boy, as if Kioshi was his own son.
was about two and a half years old, but despite his age, he spoke very well and was polite to others, much unlike his father. But that was all left behind and to everyone else, Kioshi was a love child who's father ran off after getting just what he wanted, so he shared Sota's room and they got along very well.
had long hair that he tied back in a ponytail. It was beautiful silver, very soft and shiny, so his Kagome loved to play with it. But he wasn't too fond of that fact... And his eyes... Kagome loved to look into his eyes because they were a golden brown and they were beautiful as they glowed when the light hit him. Yet the thing Kagome was most thankful for was that his ears were on the side of his head, resembling hers. (Big relief!)
Kioshi ran towards the shrine, "Okaasan!!!!" Kagome looked to the door, and excused herself from her lessons with the already irritated grandfather.
Kagome looked out at the boy who had apparently just gotten home from school. "What is it sweetie, I have lessons right now?"
Okaasan... the kids at school are picking on me again! They say that I have funny hair and eyes." He looked at her with these puppy dog eyes (no pun intended) that Kagome could never resist.
I am sorry!" She left the shrine's door and kneeled on the ground, embracing her son in a hug. "Hey, remember what I said, ok? Don't let it bother you. The other kids are just jealous that you have such pretty hair and eyes and they don't. Now, go into the house and see what grandma is doing; I'll be in there in a little while. Maybe we will make some treats if you dry those tears.

"Ok!" The young boy rushed into the house, which smelled of dinner already.

'I remember' Kagome began to daydream again. 'I remember when I got home I cried and cried. But then something was wrong with me. I wouldn't stop throwing up. I thought for a while it was a stomach virus, but it turns out that I was pregnant.'

'One of my friends went with me and I bought a test. Then we took it over to her house, and I tested myself. It turned out to be positive. No one can imagine what kind of thoughts were going through my head at the time. I was pregnant with Inu Yasha's child. Not only that, but when I thought about it, he was full demon at the time he and I had sex, so Kioshi turned out to be half demon. His father is a half demon and his mother is a human, but Kioshi is a half demon. Weird, but true. I miss Inu Yasha, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo. Kaede too. Plus, I also miss all my adventures. I am kind of an adult now, so I don't know if I could ever go back to that old life, not that I would want to or anything.'
went inside.

in Feudal Japan
little recap tells us a lot about what has happened over the last three years. Sango and Miroku have already had their first child, Odori. And Kaede had now taken on a new apprentice that she had found. The girl was a miko and Kaede saw that, inferior only to Kagome, she was the best for the job. It had never looked like Kagome would return, and Inu Yasha didn't seem like he'd ever find all of the shards.
after they had beat Naraku, not more than a year ago, Inu Yasha had disappeared. He'd left without so much as a goodbye, and they all presumed that it was all to get those shards back and find Kagome.

woods were very dark, and it was hard to see for all of the forestation. However, for one with demon blood, it was just as plain as day ever could be. The bear stood almost as tall as the largest tree, and on its forehead, a familiar glint shone brightly.
was a shard of the Shikon Jewel. And somewhere a certain hanyou was pursuing it.
roared, making any wildlife inhabiting the forest at that time run away in fear for their lives. And a blurry red line ran through the forest, bouncing off trees, claws flexed, and one mad look upon its face.
red blur crossed glances with the bear before using its soul stealer technique and detaching an arm from the beast. The bear roared, swinging its claws with no strategy, except killing all that was in its path. But the hanyou had a one. He moved around the back of the bear making it turn quickly, loosing its balance. This made the bear come crashing to the ground, giving the hanyou the perfect opportunity to slice it in half with a clean, yet bloody, cut.
this was Inu Yasha, though after the fight with Naraku and then about a year of hunting demons and fending for himself, you can say that he has matured a little. His features had become more manly and he didn't make silly arguments over little things. You could say that unintentionally he had become a little like his brother, except he was still as nice as the old Inu Yasha was, and even a bit stronger.
since the incident three years ago, Inu Yasha had never let the tetsaiga leave his side during a battle and there were very few times that it left his side altogether.
onto the ground when the bear once lay, Inu Yasha picked up the jewel fragment, smiling at it. "This is the last piece I need before I go and 'retrieve' the other two that someone is so 'nicely' keeping for me." Inu Yasha said. He wiped some of the bear's blood and sweat off of his bare chest and then grabbed his haori, putting it on. <yes, some people must be kinda drooling right now. He is handsomer sounding isn't he?>
hopped onto trees, limb after limb, and set off towards the village to see the others. Inu Yasha hadn't seen anyone of his friends in so long. Last that he new, Sango had just found that she was pregnant and Kaede had found a new apprentice, and then he left. They didn't seem like they were going to go anywhere soon, so he, anxious as always, set off by himself to find the rest of the jewel, and get in some more training at the same time.
the village, he saw a few kids playing in the dirt road. One looked about eight or nine and had red hair, very familiar red hair. Shippo had grown taller since Inu Yasha had seen him last.
he turned to a newly built hut near Kaede's. It belonged to Miroku and Sango. He and Inu Yasha had built it themselves. Upon entering, he saw Miroku with a bowl in his hand serving lunch, while across from him was Sango, who held a small girl in her arms.
girl had black hair like her parents, and looked about three or four months old.

"Inu Yasha!" Miroku exclaimed. "Long time, no see. What have you been doing?" He looked at the small pouch that Inu Yasha held up without a word said. "Oh, so I assume that you have found all of the jewel shards, save hers."

"Yes." The one small word that he said was just as powerful as the million words that he could've spat out.

"I see." Miroku rubbed his chin and looked at Sango. "Sango, you do know what he is talking about, don't you?" She shook her head. "Well. Inu Yasha is talking about Kagome." He looked towards the door and then realized that Inu Yasha had left at the mention of her name. A knowing smirk crept across his face.
are taken to the area where Inu Yasha had not been for almost two years. He had visited the well in hopes that the spell would be weak and then wear off, but it didn't escape his mind that the spell would last as long as he was searching for the jewels. Kagome wasn't weak. She was too powerful to make a spell that would wear off after some time. Still, it made him anxious to pass through that well and see the one woman that he had wanted to see the most for three years.
waited.
and Sango had taken to the bushes and were now watching Inu Yasha's every move. "Why isn't he going in?" Sango asked.
