Kagome took a deep breath and walked into her hut, she was shocked to see the actual amount of damage she had caused within her very own home as at the time she was too lost in her own grief and anger she didn't even notice what she was doing. Now she looked at it she managed to smile grimly to herself as she realised how stupid she had been, trashing the place was not a very clever thing to do after all and now she would have to clean it all up. "Kagome-chan? Do you want to start right away?" Sango asked timidly.

"You don't have to help, it's my mess."

"What are friends for, huh? Besides I enjoy a good clean." She lied, like most people she did not really enjoy cleaning stuff but if it was to help a friend she didn't mind in the slightest. Suddenly there was a noise, not a very loud noise but a discrete creak in the other room. Alert both Sango and Kagome approached the bedroom, both ready for any hostility. After mouthing up to the number three they both charged into the room, expecting to find a robber or Youkai for them to dispose of. But there was nothing. Just the curtains that blew in and out of the window.

"That's strange, I could have sworn." She silently cursed.

"Kagome-chan! Look over there, isn't that cloth from Inu-yasha's hakama?" Sango asked as she picked up a small piece that had been caught on a lose nail by the window.





Why did he run? There wasn't reason no reason to hide since he was just going to return there later to hand over the necklace for Kagome. Maybe he didn't want her to find him because he wanted to come to her in his own time. Either way she was going to take a quick bath and then go and find her. No matter what though, he wanted to give her his gift when she was alone. He didn't want to seem like a sappy puppy in front of the others. He wondered in the forest for what he finally guessed to be a few hours as the sun had risen to its highest and had now started to lower itself down. Kagome would be alone by now, and if she wasn't he'll drag her out into the forest and make them alone together. He turned to go back to the hut, he didn't really expect her to still be there but it was closer to where he was then the village so he would check there first. And he probably would had carried on walking towards the hut had he not smelt a familiar scent coming closer, he shot round fast enough to catch a glimpse of a fluffy red tail before he was suddenly pounced on by a small predator. Inu-yasha could not help but smile and he felt the tiny arms wrap round him. "Inu-yasha!!!!!!" Screamed his high-pitched voice. The hanyou allowed himself to enjoy the affection of another before he roughly pushed the small kitsune to the ground. Shippo's joyful smile did not waver as he looked admirably up towards his friend. "Inu-yasha! I'm so glad you're back, I thought you was gone forever!" He exclaimed excitingly.

"Shows how much you know you stupid whelp." He huffed. Inu-yasha risked a small sideward glance towards the young Youkai only to discover he had tears in his eyes but he was still smiling. "Stop that! It's creepy!"

"I just so happy!" Shippo hugged into his leg but a few minutes later his expression changed and he jumped into the air and bonked the hanyou on the head. "You jerk! You have any idea how upset everyone was? And then you forgot all about us, how could you? You made Kagome cry!"

"I hardly call that my fault you little mutt!" He growled and started walking away. How dare this little pup blame him for the events that recently passed? He never asked to be killed.

"No, but you still." Shippo saw that he had offended Inu-yasha but that wasn't his aim. He hoped that in insulting Inu-yasha he would bring back a little of the feelings from the past. "I'm sorry. Inu-yasha."

"What is it now?" Inu-yasha turned round irritated.

"You should talk to Kagome, she is very upset and I know you are too. She's at Kaede's place at the moment. Maybe if you talked about what has happened." He left it hanging hoping that it would get the Hanyou to think about what he was saying.

"Feh!" He huffed and walked away even faster, almost a jog. Shippo didn't follow but smiled slyly to himself. At least Inu-yasha was back to his old self.





He was told by Shippo to talk to Kagome, and that was what he was going to do. Not that he little cub had any influence in the decision; he would had chosen to go and find her anyway. The young kitsune had merely told Inu-yasha which one of the two places Kagome was. He walked with an unsure heart into the village, everyone was looking at his in shock, many were pointing and some children cried. This hurt him. He thought that they had gotten used to him by now, no one in this village had behaved in this way towards him for a very long time now. He knew it was probably because they all thought him dead, and seeing a demon ghost wondering around the village. Of course he wasn't a ghost, but very much alive but they didn't know that did they? But it still brought painful memories of the past he would had rather forgotten, the memories of being shunned by the creatures that were suppose to be less barbaric than Youkais. He sighed and carried on, if they were hurting him he dared not show it. To show pain was to show fear, weakness. He walked with his head held high, a low growl on his lips while confidently putting each foot in from of the other. But his heart held doubt. His heart was afraid. Finally he made it to Kaede's hut where he could hear voices coming from inside. He didn't purposely listen to them talking, for what did he care of mortal matters? It was more accidentally leaning closer to the wall and casually listening than spying. "Come on Kagome, smile. One shouldn't be so glum on one's birthday!" It was Miroku's voice and shortly after followed a loud *SLAP*.

"I don't think now is a good time to be having busy hands Miroku- sama. I'm feeling quite adventurous today, especially now that Kaede gave me these wonderful bow and arrows." Came a cold and threatening reply. Inu- yasha found himself chuckling to himself.

"Gomen Kagome, I don't know what came over me. I swear these hands shall never touch your sweet." *SLAP*

"It will do you well to remember that I do not enjoy being groped in that way Miroku, or do you want to sleep outside again tonight?" Sango glared. Inu-yasha was almost in hysterics. He would not be able to remain unnoticeable for much longer with his small outbursts of chuckles and so he decided rather than being discovered listening in on the conversation he'd rather go in and join it. He pulled back the bamboo mat of the doorway and walked into the familiar hut. Everyone stopped and gawked at him. He shifted uncomfortable under their surprised stares.

"What?!" He almost shouted. They were after all very annoying people.



"Inu. Inu-yasha?" Kagome's voice was barely a whisper.

"Feh! I got something for you, it is your birthday after all." He wanted to smile but instead remained with a steady and serious unreadable face. He pulled the necklace out from where he hid it in his sleeve and chucked it to her. So much for giving it to her when she was alone. Kagome clutched the necklace in her hand with tears welling up in her eyes. Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere she jumped up and flung her arms round Inu- yasha. The hanyou was at first taken a back by this sudden outburst but now he gently pushed her away and then placed his hand over the clutched fist that held the gift. Then without saying anything he gently began to lead her out of the hut where he crouched down slightly and with a nod of his head he motioned for Kagome to jump on his back. Without saying a word Kagome did this and he jumped into the air. Now they would be alone to discuss the problem at hand. And he promised himself that he would not over react before he let her talk. He would try his best to understand and he would do this for his Kagome.

He had taken her to that 'special place' where Kagome had first met the fairies and where they had first declared their love for one another. He allowed her to climb down off his back and then he looked at her. He didn't know what to say, or at least he didn't look like he wasn't going to say anything. "Gomen." Came an almost unheard whisper from his lips but Kagome heard and her heart launched.

"There is no need Inu-yasha, I've had time to think about it, and I know what it must had looked like. And after what happened you must be feeling very vulnerable. I should be apologising not you." Again it looked like he wasn't going to say nothing so Kagome sighed sadly and then his hands in hers. "I didn't kiss Kouga, he kissed me. You must have seen it before I pushed him away, before I kicked and screamed at him. I don't like Kouga in that way, you got to believe me. You're the only one for me, and I didn't fully realise that until after you.well." She couldn't bring herself to say the last word.

"Died?" He suggested helpfully. He wasn't actually bothered by thinking or talking about his death; after all it seemed to happen quite a few times. "I thought I'd never forgive you Kagome, I was sure of it. Then I talked to this girl, she made me realise we could still be friends if nothing else. But the more I thought of it I couldn't have you as a friend, I wanted it to be so much more than that. You could kiss a thousand boys but I'll always feel the same about you. It will tear my heart apart, and I'd probably tear them apart too, but I couldn't be angry at you for long." He just thought about what he said and made a wry face. "I'm not saying you should go around kissing other boys but."

"Baka! You know you're the only one for me. Now get here and give me a kiss." Though she fringed anger her eyes were sparkling and a wide smile showed on her face. They moved closer and shared a long passionate kiss.





Someone watched from away, he was unsure what to feel. Inu- yasha looked happy, they both did and it did seem like the only thing the hanyou wanted. And he knew for he had watched from the beginning, and even saw the wolf-Youkai limp away that it wasn't Kagome who kissed the wolf. A thin smile appeared on his lips and he slightly nodded his head in agreement. "Good luck brother. You'll need it." He then felt a small tug on his sleeve and looked down to see the raven-haired little human child looking at him with big and joyful eyes. She loved it when he smiled. These human females are truly a wondrous thing, but they come with their responsibilities. He then bent over and picked up the small child, and she squalled with joy. Never had he done so and she was surprised but too happy to show it. "Come on Rin lets go home. Its about time we started your education."
