Chapter 1: Sticks and Stones

"Inuyasha! Why do you always have to be so selfish! All you ever think about is yourself or the jewel! What about other people!"

"But, Kagome you just went home a month ago! You don't need to go back now! Besides you're the one who's selfish, always wanting to go home!"

"Me? I'm selfish! How can I be selfish when all I do is waste my life helping you!" Kagome looked down to the ground, the back at the hanyou. "Inuyasha. I hate you!" Kagome turned around concealing her tears and began to run into the forest, alone. Inuyasha was just standing there, his mouth open wide in shock.

"Inuyasha, it's not wise to let her go off on her own in the forest." commented Miroku.

"Yeah."

Inuyasha sped into the forest leaving the others behind. He could still smell Kagome, and her tears. That's not what he needed right now. He hated fighting with Kagome, but no matter how hard he tried to stop it, he always ended up yelling.

Kagome ran with all her strength, as she wiped away her tears. She could feel Inuyasha getting closer to her, but she didn't want to face him right now. She stopped running when she came upon a spring with a little waterfall in the middle. 'This would be a great place to relax' thought Kagome. But, she knew that Inuyasha would catch up with her soon so she tried to find a hiding spot, but, no such luck. Because right when she found the perfect spot Inuyasha had already arrived. She heard his footsteps come to a stop and she could hear him breathing.

"What do you want?" asked Kagome.

"You. Now come back to the village Kagome."

"You think that you can just order me around, that all you have to do is tell me to come and I'll obey?"

"No, it's just not safe out here by yourself."

"Oh so now you care. When did you start caring about others?"

"Damnit! Kagome quit with the selfish crap! I'm not selfish I care about you! You're just too stupid to see!" Inuyasha growled.

"Stupid? You think I'm stupid now? God Inuyasha what is wrong with you!" Kagome was really angry, but what she was about to do was definitely unthinkable. Kagome drew her bow out and took an arrow from her pack, and aimed them at Inuyasha.

"K-Kagome? What are you doing?" Inuyasha unconsciously put his hand on his Tetsaiga. Kagome saw this and got even angrier.

"What are you gonna do Inuyasha? Are you gonna kill me now?"

Inuyasha looked at his hand that was on the sword. He hadn't realized what he had done.

"No. Kagome, I didn't mean to it's just a habit. And what's with your bow and arrow!"

"I have just finally had enough! Enough of you and your selfish ways Inuyasha!" She shot her arrow towards his Tetsaiga and knocked his sheath off. It spun towards the spring and fell in.

"What the hell! Kagome what in the hell did you do that for!" Inuyasha frantically ran to the spring when he started pulsating. 'No, not my demon blood. Not now. Not with Kagome here! I could kill her! Damn! I've got to find my sword!'

Kagome noticed him pulsating and remembered his demon blood in him. She got scared as she saw his eyes turn red and his fangs were now showing. He got up and cracked his claws at her. Kagome stood frozen in the forest, unable to move at all, she couldn't even speak. He sped towards her and grabbed her by the shoulders as he pushed her against a tree.

"I-Inuyasha?" her voice shook.

"Heh heh heh heh. You're not gonna kill me now bitch!"

He took his claws and held them up against her cheek. Poison dripped from the tips as they caressed her face, leaving poisonous wounds. She winced at the pain and tried to push him off of her, but she couldn't. Then he began to kiss her neck up and down until he found a tender spot to bite her. When he did she screamed and her scream echoed through the night, causing birds to fly in fear. Kagome shook as he kept kissing her neck. After he was done there he removed one hand from her shoulder and grabbed her waist. He squeezed until she could feel her ribs cracking from the pressure, then he slapped her. She fell to the ground and tried to crawl towards the spring. He soon followed her and watched her squirm. She was covered in blood and mud as she slowly crawled to the spring until she felt a claw tracing the line of her spine. She looked over her shoulder to see Inuyasha squatted over her form and was smiling. He grabbed her by the shirt and stood her up then he tried to undress her. But Kagome wouldn't let him go that far she backed up towards the edge of the spring. Inuyasha saw this and grabbed her shoulders once more squeezing them hard. Kagome backed up once more and slipped on the bank of the spring. She feel causing Inuyasha to fall with her into the spring. Under the surface Kagome wriggled out of Inuyasha's grasp and tried to swim away. The hot water stung her cheeks and neck. When she emerged she swam to a nearby rock for support. She tried to find Inuyasha but couldn't. Then she saw his hand come from the water, and he was holding his sheath with Tetsaiga protected inside. She looked at Inuyasha still scared and saw his eyes were not longer red and his fangs were no longer visible.

He raised his damp head and looked at her. When he saw her he was ashamed. He knew what had happened because he lost his sword, he just never thought that he would go this far. He saw her trembling in front of him as he reached out is hand to help her. She looked at his hand and almost took it when they heard a rustling in the bushes.

A/N: Sorry, it's a cliffy. Also if I didn't spell Tetsaiga right please tell me. I don't want to be literature retarted. R&R!
