Kagome was in awe as she entered the large and extravagant house. If she had thought that Inu yasha's little red mustang was impressive then this was heaven!

The house was more a mansion then anything else. A large staircase greeted you as you entered, splitting off into three directions at the top before disappearing into different wings of the house. Off to the right, just before the staircase, Kagome could see a rather large but short hallway leading into what appeared to be a living room. Off to the left of the room was another hallway but this one was much longer, not allowing her to see what lay at the end of it. The receiving room she now occupied was very well decorated. Lovely deep red curtains hung delicately at the sides of stain glass windows that started at the marble floor and rose towards the ceiling. She recognized some of the pictures displayed on them. They were mostly old youkai that she and Inu yasha had fought, posied in the moments of their deaths. She giggled to her self. Inu yasha was also one for boosting.

She turned back to the large door that she had entered through and smiled at her companion. "Oh Inu yasha!" she cried. "Your house is so beautiful."

He smirked his usually arrogant smile. "Thanks. I thought you'd like it."

Kagome giggled as she removed her shoes. "I feel like I'm in a castle!"

A clawed hand under her chin tilted her face up to two loving golden eyes. "Nothing less for such a beautiful hime..."

Kagome blushed and turned away. "I'm no princess." She stood and moved deeper into the receiving room, stopping just at the base of the white-carpeted staircase. "Either way, will you show me around?" She turned a smiling face back towards Inu yasha, "Please?"

Shaking his head, he smiled and removed his own shoes before stepping up to her side. "Sure. We'll start with the living room, hime-sama."

For the first time in a long time Kagome laughed. She playfully swatted his arm. "Inu yasha!"

@>~~~^~~~~

Kagome giggled as she exited the bathroom dressed in an old pair of Inu yasha's sweats. She threw herself back onto the lush bed he had given her. She felt so much more comfortable in the over sized clothing then in her 'work' attire and took a moment to relish the old scent of evergreen on the warm clothing.

"Are you sure I can really stay here Inu yasha?" she said, turning her attention back to the waiting hanyou. "I don't have any way to repay you."

Inu yasha smiled from his spot leaning against the doorframe. "Don't be silly Kagome! Of course you can stay here and I don't expect you to do a damn thing except be happy. Understand?"

Kagome sat up on the edge of the bed. "But I couldn't! You have to at least let me help around the house or something!"

Inu yasha laughed. "I have maids for that. No," he moved into the room. Stopping just in front of Kagome, he reached a hand up to brush her unruly hair from her face. "All I ask is that you make yourself at home. And," he smiled, "Let me get to know you again. It's been a long time."

Kagome smiled up at him but never met his gaze. "You're right. It has been a long time." Kagome pulled away from his touch and flipped herself around on the bed so that she was laid out on her stomach facing him, her head propped up in her hands. "So tell me! What have you been doing these last 500 years?"

Inu yasha frowned and sat on the edge of the bed next to her. He never liked to think about the past. Good or bad it had always been without Kagome and he never liked to be reminded of just how long he'd been denied her presence.

"Inu yasha?" Kagome moved around and placed her head on his knee. "Daijobu?"

He smiled at her and unconsciously began playing with a lock of her midnight black hair. "It's nothing. Just trying to think of where to start."

Kagome rolled onto her back and looked up at him. "How about with Miroku and Sango-chan? Oh and Shippou-chan!"

Inu yasha smiled sadly, his hands still playing in the young woman's hair. "Well, Miroku and Sango did end up together in the end though they never had any children of their own."

Kagome nodded sadly. It was sad that her friend's had never been able to fulfill a life long dream of theirs but at least they had been together. A tiny tear slid down her cheek on to Inu yasha's knee. "Were they at least happy?"

Inu yasha brushed another tear trail from Kagome's cheek. "Hai. They ended up adopting a small group of children that had been orphaned during one of the many battles in the area. It wasn't what they had originally planned but they loved the children all the same."

Kagome laughed a little. "We have always were a kind of 'cut and paste' family."

Inu yasha looked at her a little confused. "Cut and paste?"

Kagome nodded. "Yep! After all the cuts," she reached out and gently squeezed Inu yasha's hand, "We always manage to paste ourselves back together."

Inu yasha chuckled. "Hai, I suppose so."

Kagome wiped away the last of the tears from her eyes. "So!" she released her hold on his hand. "How about Shippou-chan?"

"Ah, the kitsune ne?" Inu yasha laughed. "He's around here somewhere... Probably off working late as usual."

Kagome's eyes grew wide and she blinked in disbelief. "He's.. working.. late?"

"Yeah well, he missed you terribly after you were forced to leave. The only thing that seemed to make him happy was training. He ended up opening a small dojo and starting a school in this time. He's usually stays pretty late but he enjoys the job."

Kagome nodded. "I'll have to give him a call." She moved to stand but a hand on her shoulder pressed her back down.

"Not tonight.." A clawed finger traced her cheek. "Can't it be just the two of us tonight? Please?"

Kagome smiled. She was a little nervous but still closed her eyes and relished the feel of his skin against hers.

The feeling of his touch almost made her think nothing had ever changed. It was almost like she had never been forced back through the well by the completed jewel and the well had not sealed behind her. That in actuality, she was somewhere in mushashi's domain, hunting down shikon shards with her friends.

When she opened her eyes she would find Sango cuddled in her bedroll to the side of an open fire while Miroku tried to sneak over to her without detection. Shippou and Kirara would be curled up on their own bedroll just between Sango and she and Inu yasha would... She sighed. Inu yasha would be watching them all from his high perch in a near by tree.

Kagome felt tears burning her eyes once more. She'd give anything for that to be true.

"Kagome?" Strong arms pulled her into a tight embrace against a well toned chest. "What's wrong?"

Kagome sobbed for all the things she'd lost. All the time she could have been with them but was forced instead to live through hell. She wanted to go back.

Inu yasha held the petite woman tightly against him, rocking her and rubbing her back in an attempt to soothe her wails. He cursed the jewel for dragging her away but mostly he cursed himself for not coming to her sooner. For not having the courage to face her and letting her disappear into the unknown. His eyes squeezed tightly shut and his chin came down to rest on top of her head.

"Kagome, gomen nasai."

"It's not your fault." Kagome hiccupped, her sobs dying down as she looked up to her companion.

"Yes it is. If I had just come to you as soon as I knew the well was closed then you wouldn't have had..."

"A hard life?" Kagome shook her head. "Inu yasha, I made the choices that lead to that life. The decisions were mine and mine alone. You had no hand in any of them. None of what happened to me was your fault at all."

She moved away from his embrace, cursing slightly from the lack of his warmth, and sat on the edge of the bed. "For the last five years I've done what had to be done to survive. Nothing more. I was raped and beaten and sold as scraps to hungry youkai in the shape of men."

Kagome lowered her head, allowing her long hair to fall down and cover her face. "I dreamed of the life I left behind and knew that I could never return to it. I watched as my friends died around me and yet I kept going.. Kept living on allowing it to happen because..." A teardrop fell from her cheek and landed in the carpet below the bed. "Because I prayed that you'd find me."

"I prayed every night that you would find me and take me back. That once day I'd wake up and you'd be standing there, fire rat haori and all, waiting for me to wake up so you could take be back home." She turned a tear stained face towards him, for the first time completely meeting his golden gaze. "I prayed and you came and I couldn't be happier."

In a sudden and swift movement she was back in his arms, crushed against him as if his life depended solely on her. "Kagome."

She gasped as a single tear landed in her hair.

"Inu yasha?"

He pressed his lips against her forehead. With a sigh he slowly released her and laid her on the bed. "You should get some rest. You've had a long day."

He moved towards the door but a soft voice caught the attention of his youkai hearing. "Do you.. have to go?"

He turned slowly back towards the bed, a questioning look focused on the girl who lay there.

"It's just," she stood and moved towards him, stopping just in front of him. "It's my first night in a strange house and.." She twirled a strand of hair around her finger, looking down at the carpet between them. "I'd rather not be alone."

Inu yasha smiled and kissed her forehead. "Fine. I'll stay."

Kagome looked up to him, a bright smile beaming up at him. It was the first real smile he'd seen on her since they had been reunited. He couldn't help but smile back as she lead him back to the bed and pulled down the covers.

She let out a startled squeak as he picked her up and climbed into the bed with her. He laid her gently under the covers on her side before cuddling up behind her and draping his arms around her waist. His face nuzzled into her hair, absorbing the scent that he had missed for the last 500 years.

For a moment, Kagome's body remained stiff and ridged but as the all too familiar warmth began to flow from his body into hers she relaxed into sleep. She knew all to well the one man that could make her feel so at peace after such a long journey home.

"Hey Inu yasha?" she asked with a yawn.

He grunted in rely.

"What ever happen to your ears?"

He snuggled closer to her, nuzzling his face deeper into her hair. "Glamour spell.. Go to sleep."

Kagome eyes remained closed but her eyebrow rose in a questioning look. "Glamour spell?"

He nodded, "Yeah. Looks like they aren't there but if you reach up you'll find them. I don't usually hold the spell in my sleep though."

Kagome hand reached back and her fingertips easily found her favorite of all the hanyou's features, besides his eyes. Sighing, she gently rubbed one of the delicate appendages. She let out a smile spread across her lips and inwardly giggled at the almost purr like noise coming from the man behind her.

Her body relaxed and she released another yawn. "Oyasumi nasai, Inu yasha."

Inu yasha smiled and gently kissed her shoulder. "Oyasumi nasai, hime-sama."

@>~~~^~~~

Kagome hummed happily as she watched the eggs frying in the wok. Some how she had actually manage to sneak out of bed without waking her sleeping companion and find her way into the kitchen without too much problem. The cook had been preparing to start breakfast but Kagome had shooed him away so that she could make Inu yasha's breakfast herself.

She flipped the eggs gently and put the spatula down next to the pan as she turned to the toaster. Suddenly a pair of arms laced themselves around her waist causing Kagome to scream and twirl around. Her hand flew out and hit the side of the hot wok, burning the back of her hand. She dropped herself to the floor, in a low crouch, waiting for the beating that would usually follow.

A gently hand touched her shoulder. "Oh Kagome, are you ok?"

Her eyes turned to the worried hanyou before her and she let out a loud sigh of relief. "Oh Inu yasha!" She threw herself into his arms.

He pulled her swiftly to her feet and over towards the sink. He turned on the cold water and placed her hand under it. "I didn't mean to scare you."

Kagome cringed a little as the cold water hit her burn but after a moment relaxed. "It's ok. I'm.. just not use to people."

Inu yasha pulled her hand from the water and looked over the burn. It wasn't bad and would probably heal in a day or two. He leaned forward and lightly kissed it, leaving a deep blush on Kagome's cheeks. "Gomen."

Kagome smiled as she pulled her hand away and headed back to the stove. "I made breakfast!" she said, deliberately changing the subject.

Inu yasha chuckled. "What did the cook quit without telling me?"

"No!" Kagome slid the egg on to a plate with a piece of toast and placed it on the table where another similar plate already sat waiting. "I just thought it would nice if I made you some breakfast. After everything you've done for me it was be the least I could do!"

Inu yasha shook his head as he stepped towards her, smiling. "Kagome I told you already." The back of his hand trailed down over the exposed flesh of her arm sending little shivers through her body. "You don't have to do anything but be happy."

Kagome smiled. "I know but.." She looked down at the floor, her foot grinding back and forth against the tile nervously. "I just well.. I always liked making you breakfast." She blushed and looked away as he chuckled.

"Oh well in that case," he took a seat on one side of the small table and motioned for her to take the other. "Shall we?"

Kagome smiled and nodded, taking the seat opposite Inu yasha. They ate quietly, both enjoying the delicious meal Kagome had prepared. Kagome caught herself glancing up at Inu yasha every so often and she noted with a kind of bittersweet pride that Inu yasha's table manners had *greatly* improved. He didn't seem to be in as great a hurry as he had once been and it appeared he actually took time to *taste* the food before him.

Kagome laughed to herself at old memories that played through her mind of him *inhaling* large amounts of ramen and allowing long noodles to hang from his lips as he talked. It had never been one of his more flattering moments but she had always found it adorable.

Inu yasha looked at her, raising an eyebrow in a silent question. "What's so funny?"

Kagome blushed, embarrassed by being caught. "Oh umm.." she giggled. "I was just thinking about the way you use to eat ramen. You'd try to talk and leave big pieces hanging out of your mouth." She laughed. "It was a silly thought really."

Inu yasha blushed but chuckled. "Yeah well, I wasn't the most *refined* person back then."

"I always thought it was cute."

Inu yasha wiggled his eyebrows at her, mocking a seductive stare. "Really??" He took a large bite of his eggs, allowing a long piece to hang out of his mouth as he spoke. "Does it work with eggs??"

Kagome's arms wrapped around her waist as she laughed, nearly falling from her chair. She opened one eye just in time to watch Inu yasha toss his head to the side and flip the dangling egg into his mouth. She found this action to be even more humorous then the first and slid from her chair as another wave of laughter shook her body.

Inu yasha watched the young woman, holding his own laughter at bay. He did, however, allowed himself a small chuckle.

Eventually, she stood and returned to her seat, wiping the tears from her face. "Oh Inu yasha! That was priceless!"

"Really? As cute as the ramen?"

Kagome giggled. "Cuter. Especially with that little flip at the end! You really much teach me to do that."

"I'll show you mine if you show me yours." He winked.

Kagome giggled as she stood and gathered up her dishes. "So," she moved to the other end and collected Inu yasha's as well. "What would you normally be doing today?"

Inu yasha leaned back in his chair, watching with a content smile as Kagome busied herself with the dishes. "Well," he said after a long pause. "Normally I'd be going to work but I figure I can take one day off every few hundred years." He stood and stretched before walking over to join her at the sink. "What's say we go out and get you some new cloths?"

Kagome almost dropped the dish she was rinsing. "Umm.." she turned to him, wiping her hands on her shirt. "I don't really have a lot of money right now. Maybe I could just run by my apartment and pick up my old things."

Inu yasha shook his head. "No. *I* will be paying for the clothing," He smiled. "As for going by the apartment, in less there is anything you really *NEED*, I was just planning to call your landlord and telling him your moving out."

Kagome gasped, a hand coming up to her lips. "Oh Inu yasha. I can't let you buy me a whole new wardrobe! That'd be so expensive!"

He smirked. "Do I look poor wench?"

Kagome blushed and bit her tongue, feeling a small bit of the fire she once had raising in her stomach at the old 'nickname'. "No." she answered bluntly. "You look to be *very* well off. But I couldn't just-"

Inu yasha placed a finger to her lips, effectively silencing the woman before him. "Then let me spoil you! Keh!" He folded his arms before him, "It's not often I'm so generous. Ask the kit!"

Kagome giggled and finally nodded her agreement. "But!" she held up a finger, "Only if you let me do something for you! Anything-" she stopped, her voice continued nervously to her next words. "*Anything* you want."

Inu yasha frowned. He didn't like the way any of that statement had sound but especially the way it had finished. Had she really thought that *he* would ask that of her when she obviously wasn't ready?

"Don't talk like that." Kagome looked up, a little surprised by the scowl on his face. "It's not like you."

Kagome nodded and brushed her hair behind her ear. The room grew strangely quiet, and Kagome began to fidget nervously with the hem of her shirt. Inu yasha stood before her, watching her in silent contemplation.

Finally he let out an annoyed 'keh' bringing Kagome's attention back to him. "Either way, the only thing I want is to be a part of your life again." She smiled up at him and he couldn't help but blush. His head turned away but his hand still managed to find hers. "I.. umm.. you know."

Kagome giggled. Some things never changed. "I missed you too."

Inu yasha's blush deepened, spreading over his entire face. "Umm.." he started towards the door to the kitchen, still holding Kagome's hand in his own and gently leading her along. "We should get ready."

Kagome laughed and traded the hanyou's hand for his arm, allowing him to lead her back to her room. Between the warm smile she saw spread across his lips and the playful glint she caught in his eyes she knew he was happy and it made her feel just as excited. She would honor his request, allow him to be part of her life because that meant that she was part of his and she never wanted to be without him again.

@>~~~^~~~~

Kagome looked around the rather high-end bouquet nervously. She felt totally out of place in Inu yasha's baggy jeans and old t-shirt and her blush only deepened as one of the sales women approached them, looking rather un-amused.

"Can I," she paused, looking Kagome up and down skeptically. "Help you?"

Kagome looked away, "Um.."

"She," Inu yasha interrupted. "Is looking for a new wardrobe." He stepped up, placing a comforting arm around the nervous miko's waist. "She'll need things for formal affairs as well as casual dinner and everyday attire."

The woman smiled as she looked over Inu yasha. Her eyes started with his long silver hair, pulled back in a low pony tail and drifted down over the white t-shirt and leather jacket he worn before sliding over his dark but faded jeans. His clothing did little to hide his well-toned body, making the sales woman drool just slightly.

Someone clearing their throat caught her attention and her head snapped back up to meet the man's face. "Well?" he bit out impatiently.

"Why of course we can!" She laughed nervously as she reached out and pulled the young woman away from the man and towards a rack of clothing. "Come with me miss!"

@>~~~^~~~~

Inu yasha slumped down in his chair and watched as Kagome stepped out of the dressing room for what must have been the 100th time that day. His eyes drifted over the long black dress that's strap curved around the back of her neck and hugged her curves as it flowed over her elegant body. The front of the dress ended just above her knees, fish tailing in the back and draping down pooling just slightly on the floor.

Kagome's blushed as Inu yasha's eyes roamed over her body and was slightly surprise. She thought that she would feel uncomfortable under his interested gaze but instead she felt a slight surge of happiness. She was happy that he felt that way about her. Though she wasn't exactly sure how much he felt for her she could tell that he cared and for now that was enough.

She cleared her throat and twirled around slowly. "What do you think?"

Inu yasha stood, still slightly dazed, and stepped towards her. He took her carefully in his arm and sigh. "You look beautiful."

Kagome giggled, her hand coming up to playfully smack his chest. "You've said that about everything I've tried on!"

"What can I say," he flashed her a cocky smirk, "You make it all look too good. But no,” His fingers ran over her bare shoulder and down her arm, finally stopping to lace together with hers. "This dress was defiantly made for you."

Kagome turned away blushing and trying to hide from the shiver that coursed through her body from his touch. "Really?" she stuttered.

Inu yasha nodded and kissed her cheek. "Really." He sighed and stepped back, retaking his previous seat in front of her dressing room. "Is that everything?"

Kagome returned to her dressing room and changed back into her original attire. "Yep! That's everything!"

"Do you think you have enough?"

Kagome exited the dressing room once more, a large pile of clothing draped over her arm. "I think so. I have 3 outfits for just about every occasion except for everyday wear. I think I have 5 or 6 sets that can rearranged. But," she looked up towards Inu yasha, a worried look on her face. "Have you seen the price tags on these things?! This is going to be expensive!"

Inu yasha grumbled as he took the pile from Kagome and headed towards the register. He wasn't even going to justify that with an answer.

"Inu yasha?" she asked again, stepping up to his side and the register and watching as the woman began to ring the large order.

"Did you find everything?" she asked politely as she began ringing.

Inu yasha nodded as he pulled out his wallet.

Kagome watched nervously as the prices came up on the tiny screen of the register. She never spent so much on clothing in her life! A deep feeling of guilt washed through her as the woman read the final total and Inu yasha began digging in his wallet.

She was surprised when the hanyou pulled out a rather large wad of $100 bills and handed them over to the woman. He didn't even blink.

They collected their bags and headed out the door. They walked the short distance to Inu yasha's mustang and threw the bag in the trunk before climbing in the front seat. Kagome fidgeted with her hands as Inu yasha started the car.

"What's wrong?" he asked, startling her slightly.

"I was umm.." she twisted her hands in her lap. "I'm just feeling kind of guilty about all the money you just spent."

Inu yasha growled as he pulled out of the parking lot. This was no longer funny, not that it had been to begin with. "Look Kagome, it's not like I'm broke. I can afford to buy nice things for you. I *wanted* to buy those things for you. Especially that dress." He winked at her before turning his full attention back to the road.

Kagome giggled but still the guilt didn't vanish totally. 'That ok then,' she thought with a smile. 'If he won't make me pay him back I'll do it myself!' She scratched her chin, a puzzled look on her face. "Inu yasha, do you have any cookbooks?"

@>~~~^~~~~

Inu yasha lead Kagome into the small dojo. Blinking in confusion, the young woman looked around before turning to the man at her side. "Inu yasha, why are we here?"

He smiled and simply pointed across the room.

Kagome's gaze followed his finger and came to rest on a sight that brought tears to her eyes. Just ahead of her was a young man with long, firey red hair tied back in a low pony tail much like Inu yasha's. Though the young man was well built and a good head taller then her she saw for an instant the young boy she remember from long ago.

"Shippou-chan?" she choked, a hand coming up to steady her quievering lips.

The young man's head snapped around to the voice and he stood there for a moment amaze. "O-okaa-san??"

Kagome could only nod.

Faster then a flash she was in the young kitsune's arms, laughing as he lifted her off the ground and spun her around. Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged Shippou tightly as he replaced her on the ground.

He hugged her back, smiling and taking a deep wiff of the scent he remembered was his mother's. He frowned a bit at the slight taints in the scent but decided to store it away for another time. He pulled away, smiling brightly at the young miko. "It's been too long kaa-san."

Kagome giggled and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Hai. It feels like.. what? 500 years?" she joked.

The kitsune laughed as he took a step back allowing Inu yasha to take his place at Kagome's side once more. Shippou bowed slightly to the older man and smiled. "It's been a while since I've see you too otou-san."

Kagome raised an eyebrow, turning her head to look up at Inu yasha. "Otou-san?"

Inu yasha blush but returned the kits bow. "Yeah well, somemone had to raise him."

"After being together for so long it seemed only right to start calling him otou-san. Espically since he's the only one I remember at this point."

Kagome smiled. "I'm glad that the two of you started getting along so well."

"Oh," Shippou laughed, "I never said we get along."

"Only cause you still like to play dirty tricks and I won't let you get away with it like Kagome did."

"And here I thought it was just cause you had a foul disposition."

Inu yasha growled, "Watch it kit."

Shippou laughed and waved him away. "Any way kaa-san, how about I end this class and I'll take you guys out to lunch?"

"That sound great! But do you think I could change first?" She blushed.

"If you have your clothing with you, you're welcome to change in the girl's locker room. It's the first door on the left."

Kagome nodded and turned to head out the door with Inu yasha close behind. "Ok! I'll be back!"
