Chapter 11) The return and Kagome's bad decision.

Kaede's village an hour after Lina left ~

"Where the hell are those two? I thought Lina said they would come right back and I know it doesn't take that long to get their with her magic." Inuyasha growled impatiently from his sitting spot beside Kagome as they rested beside a stream not far from Kaede's village.

"Give them a break Inuyasha. They could just be taking awhile to settle Rin." Kagome chasted him gently. She looked up into his barely concealed, worried face.

Giving into her instinctual need to comfort the worried dog boy, Kagome turned and hugged him. Sputtering and red faced, Inuyasha slowly relaxed in her affectionate hold.

::: Sigh::: +God she smells good. +::: Rubs face into Kagome's hair. ::: +Stop that! Focus. You need to keep your distance from her. You don't want to put her in harms way, but gods she feels good. +

Pulling back Inuyasha looks at Kagome, hiding his longing look, before she turns towards his gaze and releases him.

Flustered, both Kagome and Inuyasha face back to the stream in silence.

Inuyasha suddenly perks up as a faint feel of his grandmother's youkai catches his attention. Without warning, Lina is streaking past them at mock speeds, pulsing with a blue glow. Kagome realizing that Lina was racing again, and that she recognized the song this time, and that Lina seems to actually be pulsing to the beat. (Star guitar by the chemical brothers if anyone wanted to know.) Upon ruffling some hair and a quick, "Hey kids." Lina streaked past as a shocking sight appeared out of the trees on the opposite bank. Sesshomaru was sweating profusely and seemed to be winded, racing after his grandmother as fast as he could go.

A few seconds later, and a sudden shout from a small distance away of "I win. Ha fast! You are such a sore loser. GHAAA!!!! GET OFF FLUFFY!!!" Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other, stared off for a while longer and then started laughing. Tumbling over onto each other, Inuyasha couldn't stop giggling. "BWAHAHA!!! Did you see the look on his face? Fluffy!!! BWAHAHAHA!!!"

This lasted for several minutes until, still shaking with mirth, Kagome and Inuyasha made their way back to the village.

Entering the space near Kaede's hut, no one was shocked at the small scuffle that appeared to be happening on the ground.

:::Giggle::: "Get off Sesshomaru!"

:::Mock growl::: "I don't think so. You cheated. I know you cheated."

Giggling some more, Lina mock fought with her grandson, happy that he seemed to be showing some emotion to the shocked crowd of Inuyasha's companions. Flipping him over onto his back, Lina trapped her grandson's tail in mock triumph. "Ha got ya pinned. Now lets see ya get outta that one."

Struggling against his grandmother's foot with a look of pure annoyance, noting her pinning his poor fluffy tail to the ground, he growled in frustration when broot force didn't work to free him. Finally giving up he stopped struggling, and lay they're, breathing heavily from the exertion of the combined race and struggle.

+Lets race she says. Its not far she says. How fast can you go she asks? I just had to go out and brag that I would be able to keep up if not beat her. Stupid! + Sesshomaru looked up at the shocked faces of his half brother and companions before he came back to himself and regained his tattered dignity. Smiling Lina released his poor tail. Standing, Sesshomaru patted off his kimono and looked at his grandmother, noting her cool knowing look. She wasn't even winded he thought to himself in disgust.

Lina looked at her grandson in amusement, noting his now stony face. Laughing internally, she was happy to have cracked his emotionless barrier after a few moments of their race. Congratulating herself at the success of her race, she looked over at everyone else. Smiling now at everyone, she casually commented. "If you had just ran a two day journey in less than an hour, you'd be winded too wouldn't ya?" Seeing Sesshomaru sweat drop at the incredulous looks of everyone but Lina, Lina turned and walked over to Kaede's hut and entered.

Sitting down Lina noted that Kaede was there. Nodding her head respectfully, Lina waited for everyone else.

"So ye are the one I have heard so much about today." Kaede sagely commented to Lina.

"Good things I hope. " Lina said with a teasing light in her eyes.

"Most of it is except for the pendant that the lady Kagome now wears." Kaede said with a look of understanding in her eyes. She seemed to know Lina's reasons for this and decided she liked the elder youkai.

Everyone else, except for Sesshomaru who leaned against a side of the entrance, settled into the hut.

"So when are we going to train already?" Inuyasha questioned his grandmother with a questioning, yet serious expression.

" As soon as we plan what everyone else will be doing before we leave." Looking around at the pondering expressions of the others, Lina spoke to Kagome.

"Were you going to go back to your time Kagome? Or were you going to help the others to shard hunt? I'm sure we will be coming to the village a few times during our training." Lina said before adding with a sly smile Inuyasha's way, "I'm also sure Inuyasha would like to keep in touch with everyone. Training can be so lonely sometimes." Seeing a blush stain Inuyasha's face, Lina put a finger to her lips and Inuyasha could only make small sounds. Glaring at Lina, Inuyasha sat there mortified. Kagome blushing also, decided to answer before Inuyasha's grandmother got further out of hand. "I guess I was thinking of going home for awhile and visiting on the weekends. Catch up on my schoolwork you know." Kagome rushed out quickly.

Knowing that under the force of his embarrassment and his anger, the spell wouldn't hold, Lina plugged her ears, waiting for the explosion she knew would erupt.

"WHAT!!! No way can you be gone that long. I knew I should have closed that dam well." Inuyasha stormed in a loud yell. His face going all red for another all to different reason than his previous embarrassment.

Seconds later, no one could quite say who shouted it first, and explosion of "SIT!" was heard. Inuyasha went face first into the floor and Kagome's rosary lit up like a Christmas tree.

A sudden evil smirk flitted across Inuyasha's face as a look of anger filled Kagome's face. Slowly a little worry started to work across as she remembered about the cursed pendant.

A sudden succession of "Sit, Sit, Siiiiiiiiiiiittttttttt!" was heard by all.

"Bye all but I think I should start my way home now." Kagome rushed out, as Inuyasha cursed from the floor. "I don't think that was a good Idea Kagome." Lina said to the girl as she hefted her pack and ran out the door.

Counting down to twenty in her mind, Lina waited for her grandson to erupt. Even if he got sat now, he would find a way to keep her on this side until she answered some questions. Worriedly Lina thought about the fact that the subduing bracelet might have been a better prize for them. Mentally shrugging, she continued counting. When she reached one, Inuyasha with a great growl, jumped up and rushed past his brother and out towards the well.
