I'm you. Your me.

Chapter One

There was a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere that surrounded the group. Sango sat cleaning her Hiraikotsu while Miroku was writing out more spell scrolls. Shippo, who was getting extremely bored, sat tapping his hands on the ground below. Every so often the sound of Inuyasha cursing and moaning about the argument the group had had not so long ago floated through the air. But Kagome was no where to be seen and sundown was near.

"Miroku, did you see where Kagome went?" asked Sango, breaking the awkward silence "It's not like her to go off like this, and for so long"

"Keh! She's probably gone home like she always does. And knowing my luck, she took her bag with her!" snapped Inuyasha from the tree branch above.

"Come to think about it, i can't even remember when Kagome left." stated Miroku ignoring the remark Inuyasha had made "And to set things right, Inuyasha, Kagome has left her bag here so she can't of gone home" he continued bluntly.

Inuyasha's eye's widened. With a thud he landed on the floor next to Kagome's bag.

"Yes! Nows my chance! With Kagome gone i can get the jewel!" he thought, a large grin plastered on his handsome face.

As the half-demon searched endlessly through Kagome's bag, his smile started to fade. His facial expressions turned bitter and angry. No matter what he threw out of the large yellow bag, nothing that even looked like the jewel could be found.

"Looking for this?" asked a familiar voice.

Inuyasha froze in place and hunched his shoulders to his head. He was in BIG trouble now and he knew he was going to pay for it dearly. Not only had he argued with Kagome about the Shikon jewel but now he had been caught trying to steal it! Slowly and carefully he turned his head to face Kagome. There she stood with one hand on her waist and the other holding the necklace that was connected to the jewel. Her eyes glistened with anger and were slightly red.

"Has she been crying? Oh god...I hope i wasn't the reason for it. What am i thinking of course i was!"

An image of Kagome crying, alone, with no one to comfort her, flashed in Inuyasha's mind. No matter how badly the two of them fought with each other he never really wanted to hurt or upset her in anyway possible. Kagome meant the world to him and she knew that. Didn't she?

Trying to act sympathetic, Inuyasha walked towards her and placed a clawed hand on her chin and pulled her face up to his. She was cold and damp from the tears. At the feel of his touch, Kagome moved her face away from his hand. This made him feel sick and his heart ache. Had he well and truly blown it this time? And how many apologies would it take for her to forgive him?

"Kagome.."

Kagome tucked the jewel inside her blouse, then pushed a lock of her raven colored hair behind her ear. Looking hurt and deep in thought, she walked to her backpack and crouched down beside it. Starting to put all the stuff Inuyasha had thrown out of it, back in she began getting frustrated. Seeing this, Inuyasha tried helping her.

"No. Just...Just leave me alone, okay? You've done enough." snapped Kagome pushing his hand away.

"But..."

"Just go!"

"Fine be like that then! All i wanted to do was help you!"

"Oh just shut up and SIT!"

THUD

Inuyasha's face came pounding into the ground. Miroku shot a worried glance at Sango. After everything they had recently been through, they would have thought that Inuyasha and Kagome would have been so much closer than ever. It had only been about 2 weeks since Naraku was defeated. And with him dead, all the shards of the jewel he had in his collection had now become theirs, making the jewel complete. But all Inuyasha and Kagome seemed to be doing was argue over what to do with the Shikon jewel. Kagome wanted the jewel to be destroyed, this of course did not go down well with Inuyasha. Inuyasha was bent on using it to turn full fledge demon. His reason being that with that much power he could always protect Kagome.

"What'd you do that for!" yelled the angry half-demon, spitting dirt from his mouth.

Kagome gave no reply. Seeing that the two really needed to talk properly, Miroku signaled for them to leave.

"I just wish there was a way to keep them both happy" said Miroku.

Sango nodded in agreement, and with that placed the Hiraikotsu on her back and scooped both Kirara and Shippo, who were sleeping, in her arms. Moving to a place where they could set up camp for the night that was more secluded they left, leaving Inuyasha and Kagome on their own.

Getting up and brushing himself down, Inuyasha saw that they were alone. Thinking now would be a good time to clearly talk things through with Kagome he walked over to the young priestess.

"Look, Kagome, you know why i want to use the jewel. If i become a full demon i will be able to protect you at all times, then no one will ever be able to harm you." he sighed "Why can't you see it from my point of view?"

Kagome's head shot up, tears falling from her dark pools for eyes.

"Your point of view?! Your point of view!! Do you not know how much pain and disaster is connected with this stupid jewel?! Or have you been asleep all this time! Can't remember what happened to Kikyo? To me, Inuyasha! Or am i not worth remembering? Face it, you are not using the jewel to turn full demon! I won't let you, even if i have to destroy it myself!" she screamed.

Inuyasha was taken back. As the words left Kagome's lips they became like daggers of hatred and sorrow, and instead of ringing threw his dog-like ears they pierced his heart. After all the screaming Kagome's face was red and slightly puffy due to crying so much, but Inuyasha didn't care. To him she looked beautiful no matter what.

"Kagome...I..I didn't know you felt this strongly about it"

"Well of course you wouldn't, because every time i try to say MY point of view, you storm off! Just do yourself a favor and leave me alone, okay?" she cried pounding her fists into the ground.

"I can't leave her alone like this...There's just gotta be a way i can make things up to her."

Doing the only thing that came to mind, Inuyasha sat by her side and held her close, stroking her hair softly while saying soothing words in her ear. A small smile swept across her face after a few moments of struggling to release herself from Inuyasha's embrace.

"Whats the matter with us, Inuyasha?" she asked, calming down and wiping her face free from tears "Are we that different that we can't be together?"

Inuyasha's ears pricked up and his eyes went wide. Releasing his hold of Kagome, he looked deep into her eyes.

"Don't ever say that again! You hear me? No mater how different we are, i will always be with you!" Inuyasha said shaking the young priestess lightly.

"Mmhmm. Wouldn't it be just so much easier if we were the same?" she laughed.

Inuyasha gave a small sigh in reply. Getting herself comfortable, Kagome snuggled up in Inuyasha's embrace. The half-demon blushed slightly and kissed Kagome's forehead.

"I'm sorry for earlier. I didn't mean to shout at you like that. Can you forgive me?"

Kagome raised her head to his and kissed him passionately. As the flow of energy left her lips and surged through Inuyasha's body, a feeling he had not felt in a while filled his very being.

"Does that answer you question for you?"

To shocked to answer directly, Inuyasha nodded. Getting back in her original place, being snuggled up in Inuyasha's kimono jacket, Kagome relaxed while listening to the beating of her beloved half-demon's heart.

"Inuyasha?"

But no reply came. When Kagome looked up at the half-demon, his eyes were closed and he was snoring lightly. He had fallen asleep! When Miroku and Sango came back to check on Inuyasha and Kagome an hour or so later, they saw that both Inuyasha and Kagome had fallen asleep in each others embrace.

"Well its about time those two made up!" Sango said quietly, smiling cheerfully.

Putting his arm around Sango's waist and pulling her close, Miroku agreed. Sango leaned her head against his shoulder and was ready for this perfect moment to be ruined by the butt grabbing. But it never came.

"Lets go back to the camp, and leave these to here" said Miroku kindly.

Sango smiled sweetly and walked with Miroku to their "one-night-only" camp.

"You never know, with these two here, we could have some fun!" said Miroku suddenly.

The slayer sighed deeply and pushed Miroku off of her waist and walked the rest of the way on her own. Just like she thought, the monk had managed to ruin the perfect moment for them with his lecherous side. Miroku placed his hand behind his head and laughed to himself.

"Well you can't blame me!"
