CHAPTER 1

Kagome rolled her eyes and sighed as she thought of the previous afternoon.

Flashback

"Inuyasha would it be possible for me visit my family soon? Like today." Kagome gave Inuyasha the best puppy dog eyes she could manage and hoped he would fall for it.

Six months ago he undoubtedly would have instantly said no and barked at her that there were jewel shards to collect. But with Naraku gone, he had no reason to deny her anything. The only reason she asked was out of habit. She was almost positive he would say yes.

After what looked like a painful thinking process and an occasional sniff Inuyasha raised his head, looked directly into her eyes and said, "No."

"And why not!"

"Because I said no."

"SIT" and with that kagome was on her way to the well ignoring Inuyasha's colorful choice of words.

End Flashback

Kagome sat on the edge of the well and thought about how she and Inuyasha had been getting along. Just last weekend they had gone to a beach and they had enjoyed a pleasant day splashing in the water and building sand castles. But that's all it ever was, just fun. He never mentioned them becoming mates or anything more then friends. In fact he rarely ever even mentioned they were friends. It was more of a mutual understanding.

Ever since the battle Inuyasha seemed to be constantly thinking. The odd thing was that Inuyasha didn't act any different, it was still same old "fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants" Inuyasha.

Kagome had hoped this new habit of his would make him realize just how much she wanted to be by his side, wanted to be his life mate. She thought maybe all the thinking would make him see the love she had to offer him. But Kagome had yet to see any result that he actually HAD come any conclusion what-so-ever. In fact, he rarely said anything that would prove he HAD been thinking of anything intelligent. Every word out of his mouth was still same old Inuyasha.

Right before Kagome jumped into the well Kagome felt a hand that roughly grabbed her by her upper arm and pulled her from her perch on the well sill to staring at a pair of golden eyes.

"Inuyasha you're hurting me." His claws began to dig into her arm.

"Kagome..." in his voice Kagome could hear one emotion she didn't like to come from her beloved dog-demon, fear. At the same time she wondered what he had to be afraid of.

"What's wrong Inuyasha?"

"I may have made a bad decision."
