Chapter 1

Sunset

Kagome sat in the sun thinking of all the shard still left to collect. There are still so many and we don't even know how many Naraku has...But we know he has the shards Kikyo stole from me and the one Kohaku has. "InuYasha do you think when we kill Naraku everything will go back to the way it used to." InuYasha looked at her as if knowing what she was thinking. "No, I don't and I don't think I want it to." he said scooting even closer to Kagome. Kagome wore a surprised look on her face. "Why? I'll be able to go home and only have to come back when it was necessary." InuYasha had a scowl on his face. "Is it really that bad here? Do you hate me that much?" He had stood up and started yelling. Kagome stood up and yelled back. "NO! Its just I would like to actually graduate on time! I don't hate you and you know it!" InuYasha's ears flattened to his head. He felt terrible. Why did I say that to her? I already knew the answer. I am such an idiot. "InuYasha I know you didn't mean to get all worked up its just your really protective." She had cooled off already. And I just love you for that. She looked at him and sighed. He noticed her staring and was about to yell when he noticed how pretty she looked in the sunset. "InuYasha whats wrong why are looking at me like that?" He blushed a little. "I-i-i-I thought I um...I was looking at the sunset." I bet that sounded dumb. InuYasha blushed. "InuYasha the sun already went down." She blushed bright crimson.

Meanwhile in the village

"Miroku I wonder where InuYasha and Kagome went off to they've been gone for hours." Sango was a little worried after waiting for them to come back all day. "Sango don't worry I'm sure they can take care of themselves." Miroku knew she was worried by the way she kept pacing around. "But Miroku the sun is setting and they've been gone since early this morning." Just then Shippou popped in. "Has Kagome come back yet." Sango and Miroku shook their heads no in unison. "I hope they are ok." Sango looked really sad now. "I'm sure they will be back before dinner tonight cause InuYasha will want his Ramen." Miroku looked really pleased with her answer. Sango looked up at the stars starting to appear. Miroku followed her gaze. "Sango..." Sango looked at him. "Yes Miroku." Miroku looked at Sango. "I-i-i-I um... aren't the stars pretty." I hope she didn't think that was suspicious. "Yes they are." He's such an idiot I know he was going to say something else.

Back to the Well

"InuYasha, shouldn't we be getting back. The others might start to worry." It was getting dark now. "No, they can worry. I just wanna stay out here with you just a little longer." Just realizing what he had said he blushed bright crimson. "Well, its not very nice to do that to our friends." She blushed. "and...I wanna stay with you too but its getting a little chilly." A cold chill ran up her spine. InuYasha picked her up and held her close trying to warm her. "Kagome are you sure you wanna go back or do you wanna go to your time?" Kagome had to think for a minute. "I think I want to go home but we should let the others know." InuYasha was overjoyed he kind of liked her time even though it was a little strange.
