Chapter 1

"Inuyasha how could you? Kagome loves you and you leave her for Kikyou!" Sango was screeching at the immature and arrogant hanyou before her who flinched at the volume of her voice. Inuyasha had been gone for three days and had come back saying Kikyou wished to join them and would be helping in the hunt for the jewel shards. Kagome had cried all night and wouldn't leave the hut. Sango was pissed and totally concerned after all Kagome was like a sister to her. Finally Inuyasha had enough and yelled at her.

"Shut up Sango! I want Kagome to come help fetch the shards; she's been in there long enough."

"Don't you talk to her like that!" Inuyasha was stunned when the monk thundered at him. Miroku never used such a tone with anyone ever, He must be pissed.

"Miroku?" Kagome was quiet but she'd heard everything going on out there and everyone but Kikyou was shocked at her appearance when she exited the little hut she'd been in. Her eyes were red rimmed and she was really thin.

"Miroku, Sango, can I talk to you guys?"

"Sure Kagome," Sango whispered after death-glaring the hanyou. She'd never seen Kagome like this and didn't like it. After they'd gone in Inuyasha tried to listen only to discover he couldn't hear anything! Angry he tried to go in and run right into a barrier.

"Kagome what was that?"

"Inuyasha…" she whispered quietly. "I've somehow put up a barrier around this hut that only allows people of my choosing in and I've been perfecting a spell that allows no one outside this hut to hear what is said inside. This was so Shippou can't hear but then I thought of Inuyasha and now he can't hear either."

"Okay. What is it you wanted to talk to us about?"

"Can you distract Inuyasha? I want to go home but I know he won't let me so I need you guys to distract him long enough for me to get to the well. Oh and can you take care of Shippou for me?"

"Of course we can do this for you!" Sango was sad that she wanted to go but she knew that Kagome needed some time and space.

"Kagome how long will you be gone and how will you keep Inuyasha from following you?" Miroku asked.

"I don't know how long I'll be gone but I can have my grandfather seal the well until I want to come back and I will because you guys and Shippou and Kirara are all here so don't worry I'll be back later."

"Alright Kagome we'll do this for you but you have to be careful Inuyasha has become impatient and wants to get back to hunting for the jewel shards…Kikyou can't sense them. He's also become kind of violent to and will probably have no trouble dragging you back here so be very careful!"

"Alright, Thanks guys!" She smiled a genuine smile.

After exiting the hut they were still upset but were happy that Kagome wanted to go home and was ready to start healing. They had agreed that it would be now that Kagome would leave so she got nothing together, it would be to hard to run, but prepared for the signal that Kagome could run.

"Inuyasha why don't you and Kikyou go get some food. Kagome can't search for shards like this and needs to eat. When you bring something back to eat she'll come out," Miroku sighed.

"Fine I'll go but Kikyou can stay here and start the fire." Inuyasha kissed her and leapt away. Miroku and Sango looked at each other and waited till Inuyasha was farther away then didn't dare wait any longer. Miroku went towards the hut while Sango knocked Kikyou unconscious.

Kagome heard a knocking then ran out of the hut towards the well however Inuyasha was hunting over there and landed just between her and the well.

"Where are you going?" He said sarcastically.

"I'm going home!" her direct answer surprised and angered him.

"No you're not you are going to stay here and find the rest of the shards before you can go home!" He grabbed her arm and started dragging her back towards camp.

"Let go!" She shouted the thinking quickly shouted that hated word, "SIT!"

All you could hear from the camp was a loud shout and then a thump. Sango and Miroku looked at each other and then grinned. Apparently Inuyasha went hunting for trouble!

Kagome looked at the unconscious hanyou and jumped in the well.

"Grandfather! Seal the well!" Her grandfather rushed out and grabbed everything he needed before sealing the well.

"Why Kagome…" he stopped when he saw his granddaughter's tear-stained and thin face.

"Inuyasha…" was all she said before the world went black.
