[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Disclaimer: I love the only Inuyasha related thing I own. My cute little chibi inu key-chain which lives out its happy life on my iPod making fashion statements everywhere (Ha! Take that Parris Hilton! You want something hot? Then look at my iPod cuz it's so cute and knows how to accessorize.)
Part Thirty One
"Pass me the chocolate chips will you?"
"Sure…which kind do you want Kikyo? White, milk, or dark?"
"Which one do you want?"
"Can we do all three?" I laughed. Kagome always loved my cookies.
"You do realize that we are going to need a lot more batter, right?"
"Yeah...but what we don't eat you can sell, and I can bring to Inuyasha as an apology. He wasn't thrilled with everything, and I can tell he is still simmering, but he gets it and he's glad I'm staying here tonight."
She popped a white chocolate chip into her mouth while she passed the milk chocolate bag and a bag of walnuts.
"You know...it feels like it's been forever since we did this last," I casually mentioned as I began pouring the chips into the dough.
She paused munching on the white chips in thought. "You know, I think it's been...what..."
"Six months," I answered softly, looking up from stirring the chips in. "A bit before you and Inuyasha became you and Inuyasha."
She was silent as I began forming the dough into balls and placing them about an inch away from the edge of the tray and from the other cookies. I remembered one time when we were younger we didn't leave any space between the cookies. When they baked, it was like one giant pizza cookie that you could buy for little kids. I felt my lips turn up in a smile at that thought, and I looked down at my fingers. They were unbearably sticky, but that happens when you make cookies. I had already started preheating the oven, so by the time I finished forming the cookies it should be hot enough to just pop them in.
"You ...haven't felt like I'm ignoring you, have you?"
Kagome's soft, heartfelt question surprised me.
"No," I smiled genuinely, "I haven't. You are young and...in love. It's to be expected. Besides...you have to admit, when...when Naraku and I were together…"
"Kikyo..." Kagome chocked, but I pushed on.
"Let me finish, Kagome. When Naraku and I were together, I was the same way. It...it has been a long time since I have felt that way, but I'm glad that you have your chance with Inuyasha now. I'm jealous at times, I'll admit that, but I am happy you found someone."
She gave me a broad smile and threw her arms around my neck. "Have I told you lately that I love you?"
"It never hurts to hear it again."
"I love you and you are the best sister in the world. I know how hard it is for say his name."
I didn't want to tell her that Onigumo had suggested that I bring him up now and then to help get past things. It wasn't good to have a little box of pain in you. She didn't need to know that I was seeing him still, though not romantically.
I ignored her comment and made to put the tray into the oven so that it could start baking.
"Why don't I take care of that?" Kagome asked, taking the tray from my hands. "Go up and take a hot bath, and when you get out we can have fresh cookies and act like we're five again."
I gave her an appreciative smile and made my way upstairs and into a hot bath.
I never should have listened to her.
A/N: OMG…JOE IS NARAKU! I just got tired of keeping him a complete secret, but that kills off another curve ball (though I hinted who he was earlier).
Anyways…Happy New Year to all ma Jew peeps. I spent all morning (10 - 1pm) in services, but the college one didn't feel like it was overly long. Then again, they get right to the point and don't put this stuff on for show like my old temple. A song that should be 2 min. ends up being 5 with them. It's craaaaaaaazzy man.
As usual, THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS! I can't say it enough, but they honestly mean a lot to me. I'm not just saying it. They really and truly do mean a lot. Thank you for them, and give yourself a pat on the back, even if all you wrote was a “I like.” I love reading them all .
Now, here are the AR's!

To: angel-up-above-heaven
Lol…yes…lil ol you :-P. Hn…I do not ever recall giving him a description, so that means as far as Kikyo knows, he could have white or black hair. All you know is what she knows, after all. Hehehehehe…well…I can't say what is going to happen exactly, but you should find out in the next few chapters ;-). I am great at making you wanna know, hehehehe. Thanks for the review, and keep reading!!!
To: kokoronagomu
YES! THAT IS WHO WR IS! SEPHIROTH! (I kid :-P ). You will find out in time, I promise!! He wasn't that pissed, but he still wasn't thrilled. He is just being the overly protective Inuyasha that he normally is ;-). Thanks for the review, and keep reading!!!
