Disclaimer – I do not own Inuyasha, but please ask before using any of my ideas.

Summary – Grandma has come to visit but she doesn't give out candy… Turns out there are things Kagome has been hiding from Inuyasha and he isn't happy when he finds out the hard way…

"Inuyasha?" Kagome slowly approached the said hanyou, "Can I maybe, possibly go home for a few days?" She smiled innocently.

Inuyasha just glared at her in return, "No," Was his curt answer.

"Please I won't take long, there are important things I have to do-"

"Nothing's more important than the shards; you aren't going home and that's final!" His voice rose.

…Nothing's more important than the shards…

Hurt flashed across her face before she could hide it, Inuyasha felt guilt hit him like a bucket of ice water as he caught it before she covered it up with a look of indifference.

"Look I don't care what's important to you, I have more important things to deal with then listening to you act like a child," A glare to match her icy tone, "I'm going home, you can go and find your precious jewel shards on your own." Venom dripped from her words before she turned her back and left, leaving Inuyasha to stare after her stunned.

"Well, that's something you don't see everyday," Miroku commented, having heard the conversation.

"I think something's going on, she usually just sits you and leaves," Shippo wisely observed, jumping up to perch on Miroku's shoulder.

"Keh," Inuyasha grunted, his eyes never leaving Kagome's distancing form.

"It's true, now that Shippo mentions it. Kagome's been rather emotional the past few days, she did say she had something important to do back in her era but when I asked her if it was more tests she said no." Sango stated, everyone's concern growing.

"That's rather peculiar don't you agree? She only ever goes home to do tests or to restock her supplies." Miroku pondered.

"To be honest, if I were her, I'd just stay in her time," Shippo said, everyone looked at him with wide-eyes, "Not like that! It's not like I want her to go away. It's just that we've already defeated Naraku, and there isn't many shards left so why does she bother to come back?"

Inuyasha had been thinking that ever since they had defeated Naraku over a month ago, she had always returned to them, to him, every time she did leave. Though he was afraid that one day she wouldn't come back, that after every jewel shards had been collected she wouldn't need him anymore. There was no reason for her to return.

"You know we're probably over-thinking this," Sango sighed and leaned against her Hiraikotsu.

"Yeah, Inuyasha did practically say he didn't care about her at all," Shippo blamed the now seething hanyou, earning him a lump on the head. Inuyasha ran after Kagome.

She knows I don't mean it like that, she knows I care about her… right?

:::::::

Kagome was currently making her way up the hill that the well resided at; she continued to fume over Inuyasha, muttering about 'stupid, self-centered, inconsiderate half demons' and remaining oblivious to the pair of amber eyes watching her in the nearby trees.

Just as she was about to jump in a strong arm caught her around the waist, "If I let you go, I come with you." Inuyasha's voice spoke behind her, his hot breath hitting her ear making her shiver in delight.

"You can't," She replied, looking to the ground.

She had never denied him before, now he was getting suspicious, "Why?"

She didn't want to say but she had to say something, "You'll get hurt." She was all she replied, her hand going to cover his own that still rested on her hip.

"How?" Inuyasha's brows furrowed together in confusion, though please at her touch.

"Please I have to go alone," She pleaded and ignored his question, she squeezed her eyes together tightly, "You've suffered enough hurt in your lifetime, you don't need anymore." Her voice was soft, with sadness lacing it.

"It's either you stay here, or I come with you. I don't care if I get hurt, as long as you're safe that's all that matters to me." Inuyasha stated truthfully, but hoped that she understood that it was also an apology for his remark before.

She chuckled quietly to herself, "I know," Inuyasha relaxed thinking she understood his message, "We wouldn't want your jewel shard detector to delay the quest any longer now, would we?" He could see though the fake smile.

She really thinks she's just…

Inuyasha's ears drooped slightly. He had become more emotional since Naraku's demise.

"I have to go Inuyasha, so I guess you can come with me. Just do say I didn't warn you." Kagome said, sounding a bit more like the Kagome he knew.

Inuyasha picked up Kagome bridle style and leaped into the well, colors of multiple shades of blue, pink and purple surrounded them before they touched down in Kagome's era.

With a single bound Inuyasha leapt out of the well and reluctantly placed Kagome on the ground. They walked together, Inuyasha a little closer than usual, to the main shrine house and walked inside where they were met with a frantic Mrs Higurashi.

"Kagome dear, thank goodness that you're here, I thought you weren't going to make it." Mama briefly hugged her daughter tightly before realizing Inuyasha was there too, "Oh my, Inuyasha you can't be here."

Inuyasha frowned; did Mrs Higurashi decide she didn't like Kagome with a half-breed?

"Sorry dear, I didn't mean it like that. You're always welcome here but Kagome told me that you've been though many awful things and she didn't want to see you hurt again." She explained, seeing the frown form on his tan face.

"Ok, what is going on?! Why can't I be here?! What the hell is this thing that's apparently going to hurt me?!" He was sick of the riddles.

"Just please go back down the well, I'll explain it to you in three days-" Kagome's plea was cut short by a knock at the door. Inuyasha noted that both females fear spiked.

"It's too late; she was meant to come in an hour! She's here early!" Mama Higurashi yelled in a harsh whisper. Another knock at the door was heard.

"Who's here?" Inuyasha asked looking at Kagome as her mother went to open the door. Kagome's eyes became blank and her voice monotone.

"My grandmother."

Dramatic cliff hanger if I do say so my self. ;D
