A romance. A fight. A hurt Kagome. What happened?
Chapter 1: The night Kikyo Came
Kagome, Shippo, Sango, and Miroku sleep wile Inu-Yasha sits by the fire. Inu's nose twitches.
"Demon."
Miroku sits up. "Did you say demon?"
"It's getting closer."
Sango and Kagome wake up because of Miroku's moving around.
Sango yawns, "What is it?"
"There is demon, and it's getting closer."
Inu gets up and his ears twitch. Miroku sees rustling in the bushes. Just then a wolf demon walks out of the trees and falls over on the grass.
"Why is he just lying there?" Shippo asked. "Is he dead?"
"He's not dead just badly hurt, and there's humans coming."
"There he is," a voice said from the darkness.
A group of people came out of the darkness with torches, swords, and arrows.
"What do you think your doing?" Sango yelled to the mob.
"This demon ate all of our food and destroyed our homes. So now we are going to kill him."
"It's Koga," Kagome said.
"Then let them kill him," said Inu.
"Inu-Yasha you go out there and save him."
"I'd like to see you make me."
"SIT!"
Inu slammed into the ground, "Ok I'll save him."
Inu flew over Koga and landed in front mob.
"Another demon. He probably helped the other demon. Kill them both!"
Inu pulled out his sword, "Back off or I'll kill all of you. I mean it."
"You think you're that tough. You couldn't kill us. We have too much skill, how do you think we hurt that demon so badly. Now let us kill them"
Four people rushed out from the crowd and started to attack Inu. Inu dodge all the swing of the swords and axes. Inu cut the axes' handle with his claws and the blades fell onto the ground. He dodged the swings of the swords, and then he cut them in half with his sword. The four people backed away.
"I didn't even break a sweat, and it would have been a lot faster if killed them."
"AH!" they screamed as they ran away.
Inu turned around to see Kagome at the side of Koga.
"Koga is really hurt. He has many cut, and if it wasn't for the jewel shards, he would definitely be dead."
Kagome and Sango picked up Koga and brought him by the fire. Kagome went her pack and got out some bandages. She started to rap him up.
"Kagome," Koga said in a weak voice, "Kagome is that you?"
"Yes, just stay still and everything will be OK."
After Kagome was done rapping Koga up, the fire was almost out. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were asleep. Inu was poking at the fire with a stick.
"Why did you want me to save him? He's a back stabbing little..."
"Inu-Yasha! How could you say that? A life was at stake, and it is a person that we know. If it was me there instead of Koga what would you have done?"
"I would have. I would have saved you."
"You would save me, but not Koga. Why is that?"
"Shhh, you'll wake the others. Because of, of, of, never mind," Inu said as he lied down.
"Inu you answer my now. Why would you save me and not Koga?"
"Because he tried to take you away. OK! Plus I hate him and he hates me."
"Why would you think that?"
"Shut up and get to sleep."
"Why do you care if he took me away? Huh? Answer me!"
"Shut up and go to sleep!"
The next morning Kagome woke up to see Sango, Miroku, and Shippo sitting by the fire while Inu was cooking breakfast.
"Inu-Yasha you don't usually cook, especially for everyone. What's with you? I like you like this."
"I was hungry and no one was awake so I started to make my breakfast, but then I new you guys would want some so I'm cooking yours now. OK."
"OK, you don't have too be so mean about it."
Kagome went over to Koga. She moved his hair to the back of his ear. Koga took a deep breath, looked at Kagome, and said, "Kagome. You saved me?"
"No, Inu-Yasha did, but I kinda made him. You feeling better?"
"A little, but it hurts all over. Do I smell food?"
"Is there food for Koga?"
"Some," Inu said meanly in a sigh.
Kagome walked over took some food and went back to Koga. She started to feed Koga. Inu glared at them.
"What's wrong Inu-Yasha?" Miroku asked.
"Nothing."
"Your jealous aren't you?"
"Why would I be jealous of him?"
"I think you like Kagome."
Inu glared. "That's crazy. Me liking Kagome, ha!"
"What, I heard my name," Kagome said.
"Inu-Yasha likes you," Shippo said. Kagome blushed slightly.
Inu hit him on the head. "I do not you little wench."
"Inu-Yasha, don't hit poor little Shippo."
"He deserves it, that little wench," Inu said softly.
"Inu-Yasha! I heard that."
"Oh sorry, I thought you were to busy feeding that baby over there," Inu said sarcastically.
"Inu-Yasha! Sit!!!"
Inu slammed into the ground. Inu groaned. He picked up the food from the fire and gave it to Sango. "Why does she have to say that word all the time. It's not my fault she's making all the fuss over Koga. If it was up to me he would be dead right now." Inu thought.
Later that morning, Kagome and Sango were getting some berries in a small meadow.
"Sango, I need to get something off my chest and I think you'll understand."
"What is it?"
"Well, how can I say this? Well, the thing is I can't stop thinking about Inu-Yasha. I think I might be in love. It's hard to believe, but I can't help it."
"Well... I can kind of believe... some times you seem like you really like him and other times you seem like you can't stand to be near him."
"What every you do don't mention this to any one."
"Mention what?" Miroku said as he came out of the trees.
"Nothing, just girls stuff."
"Oh, OK. We're ready to head off so finish up."
"OK, we are just about done. Just a few more berries. How's Koga?"
"He got better really quickly. He's walking, but still hurt. He might be with use for another two to three days."
Later that day the gang stops at a small lake.
"Miroku, Shippo, Koga. I want to show you something over there," Sango said.
Inu sat down on a hill looking over the lake. Kagome walked over and sat next to him.
"Sorry about this morning. I guess I got a little too carried away."
"Don't apoligize I was just as guilty as you."
Kagome turned so she was looking at Inu.
"Inu-Yasha, do like me?"
"I like you as a friend if that's what you mean."
"No. Do you LIKE me?"
"Oh. Well, honestly I would miss you if you left. Like that one time when you got really mad and went back to your time, I really missed you. I couldn't stop thinking of you. If that answers your question."
"Kinda," she said as she scooted toward him. She put her hand in hair and moved up to his ears.
"Well, I have to tell you the truth. I think I'm in love with you."
Inu turned and looked at Kagome with a somewhat shocked look on his face. He put his hand in her hair and ran his fingers through it.
"I think I'm in love with you too."
With that said Inu put his hands on her cheeks and kissed her. They fell on the ground rolled down the short hill.
"So what did you want to show us, Sango?"
"Um, to tell you the truth, Miroku, I think Inu-Yasha and Kagome need some time alone."
"You mean to settle their difference?"
"Yea, sure."
"Do you hear that," Koga asked.
"Hear what?" Sango said.
"I hear it. What is it?" Shippo said.
"I don't know."
Inu was kissing Kagome's neck when he stopped and looked up. He sniffed the air and got up.
"What is it Inu-Yasha?"
"I smell something, something. Demon. A demon is coming."
The ground shook. Then there was a scream from a kid. Inu jumped up and took off into the woods. Koga and Shippo came out of the woods and came over to Kagome.
"Miroku and Sango took of when they heard the kid scream."
"Let's go they might need us."
When Koga, Shippo, and Koga arrived Inu was standing in front of a crowd with Sango and Miroku at his side.
"So you want to challenge us. Do you think you could defeat us?"
Five guys rushed out of the crowd. The first swung his sword. Inu dodged it then tire to dodge another swing. A little bit of Inu's white hair fell on to the ground. Inu jumped backward and pulled out his tetsusaiga. He swung it into the ground. The five guys flew backward. Kagome went over to the little kid. The kid was breathing heavily and his hands where shaking.
"Where's my mother?"
"Shhh. Every thing will be OK. Just wait, Inu-Yasha will take care of them."
"Is he a demon?"
"Yes, but he's good. He will help you."
Inu was standing in front of the crowd staring down the people. Sango with her giant boomerang ready to fight. A path started to form in the middle of warriors. A tall man with long brown hair and a giant sword strapped to his back stepped in front Inu.
"So, demon what do you want?"
"I want you and your people to go and never harm any human again."
"This is uncalled from a demon. Wait did you say never harm any humans again."
"That is right now go!"
"We will go."
"But boss."
"Let me finish. We will go, after we do one more thing." He stepped back into the crowd. "Kill that demon!"
The crowd charged at Inu. Sango through her boomerang and pulled out her sword. Inu slammed his tetsusaiga into the ground forming a path of fast moving air in front of him. That didn't stop the warriors, they kept running towards him. They surrounded him with swords in hand. Inu was in the middle of a circle of crazy, skilled warriors. Sango was fighting off three people and Miroku was doing the same. The crowd around Inu was ready attack at a moments notice. They jolted towards Inu. He jumped as the little open space closed underneath him. He started to descend toward the angry warriors. Inu swung his sword and some people fell to the ground. The group of people got Inu down where Kagome couldn't see him.
"Inu-Yasha!"
Kagome pulled an arrow out and shot it into the crowd. A few more people fell to the ground. Sango killed the last of her attackers. She ran to her boomerang, grabbed, and through it into the crowd. In the middle of the crowd, ten warriors fell to the ground. Inu jumped up and to the side of Sango. He rushed into the crowd while swinging tetsusaiga rapidly. "There about half of them left," Inu thought. The group of warriors started to retreat. They ran right passed their leader and onto the forest.
"So you were able to kill half of my team, and you scared the other half off. I'm impressed. You wont be so lucky facing me."
Inu trying to catch his breathe, "I would like to see you kill a demon of my skills."
"You not a full demon. I can smell it in your blood. Your only half demon."
Inu thought, "If he can smell what kind of demon I am. That means he's a demon too." "You are a demon?" He yelled.
"About time you figured that out. I thought it would be obvious with your nose."
"Your me killed so many people I could concentrate on your scent, but know I smell it. Bring it on."
"Inu-Yasha he has a jewel shard!" Kagome yelled.
"Good." Inu rushed toward the demon. He pulled the sword out from his back. Inu thrusted his sword toward the demon leader. He blocked the attack.
"You cannot defeat the great Coozer."
"Well Coozer, I have some bad news for you..."
Inu took a step back and then jabbed at Coozer. Coozer blocked. Inu swung the sword over his head. Coozer blocked it, but his sword started to crack.
"...you are going to die by my hands."
Inu, still holding the sword were it is blocked, let his left hand go and slashed the demon into three pieces. Kagome ran over looking for the jewel shard. She grabbed it and ran back. He was trying to breathe. Inu took his sword and slashed Coozer's head in half. Miroku heard a scream from the only building not on fire. There was smoke coming from the rough. He ran into the hut.
"Inu-Yasha! I could use your help in here."
Inu put away his sword and dashed into the now burning hut. There were five women and three girls behind a fallen burning beam. Inu jumped through the fire to the side with the girls. He used his claws to cut a pathway to the out side where Sango was waiting. Koga ran inside the burning building.
"The hut is going to collapse!"
The ceiling started to lean inwards. Koga put his arms up and held the ceiling.
"Come on. Hurry up. I can't hold this for much longer."
Miroku got the last women out. "Come on Koga. Everyone's out."
"I can't move."
"Once again I have to save you," Inu said as he ripped open the back wall. He lunged forward grabbing Koga and getting through the door just before the hut collapsed.
"Mommy!" the little kid said as he ran to the shaken up old woman.
"I'm surprised of you Inu-Yasha. You saved Koga without anyone telling you to."
"Don't get used to it. When is he going to leave anyways?"
"Where you talking about me?"
"Yea, so what."
"Oh, I just wanted to thank you for saving me. I really appreciate it. Well I better get back. See you later."
"Let's go back to the lake and get away from all destuction and death," Kagome said.
"Do you know what tonight is?"
"Let's see, hum. Wait is tonight a new moon."
"Yea, and the sun is almost down."
By the time they got back to the lake the sun was down and Inu had already transformed. They set up a camp and Kagome went to the hill and made a fire there.
"Miroku I'm trusting you with my tetsusaiga. I can't use it any way. I'm going to go check on Kagome."
As Inu came out of the trees he saw Kagome looking at the reflection of the stars in the lake. Inu smiled and blushed slightly. He walked up quietly behind her. He puts his arms around and kisses her head. He sits next to her and she leans her head against his chest. He puts his arms around her and squeezes her, but not to hard.
"Tonight is the only night that I don't have claws, and more importantly I have no fangs."
Inu blushed when he said that. Kagome got a little smile on her face. She turned and looked at him and gave him a little kiss.
"That is for saving Koga."
She kissed him again. "That is for being kind."
"And this is because I love you."
Kagome stared deeply into his eyes. She moved closer and closer to Inu. She put her hand on the back of his head on the silky smooth hair. There heads touched as Kagome closed her eyes. They fell over onto the ground Kagome slowly pulled away. "She has the cutest little smile on her cute face," Inu thought. Kogome started to take Inu shirt off.
"What are you doing sweet heart?"
"You'll see."
Inu got what she meant. A smile went on his face and he blushed. He growled playfully. She laughed. His shirt was off and all that was left was his pants. He started to take here shirt off.
Back at the camp, "Where is Inu-Yasha and Kagome? They have been gone for a while. I hope they are all right."
Miroku got up and headed to the hill. When he got there Kagome and Inu already rolled down the hill and were practically naked. They were kissed when they heard Miroku's voice...
"Inu-Yasha! Kagome! Where are you?"
Kagome's head jolted up.
"Miroku's here. Jump into the water and hold your breath. I'll be right in."
Inu took his clothes and through them into the bushes. He quietly got in the water and went under. Kagome took off her last piece of clothing and jumped in. Miroku go to the top of the hill by the fire when he saw Kagome. Kagome screamed.
He covered his eyes with his arm, turned away. "Sorry Kagome. Forgive me. Do you know where Inu-Yasha is?"
"He said he needed time to think. Now go away."
"Alright."
When Miroku got out of Kagome's view, she tapped Inu on the head.
"He's gone, now where were we."
"Why do we have to be so secretive? I don't see why we can't..."
Kogome kissed him. They slowly walked out of the water, still kissing. They fell on the ground. Inu still blushing opened his eyes and pulled away. He smiled and started to kiss her again.
Back at camp...Miroku came through the trees. He sat next to Sango.
"What were they doing?"
"I didn't see Inu-Yasha but I walked in on Kagome taking a bath."
Sango laughed. Miroku said, "What is so funny?"
"Nothing. Are you sure you didn't see Inu-Yasha there?"
"What is that supposed to mean? Are you saying Inu-Yasha would peak in on Kagome?"
"No, I just wanted to make sure Inu-Yasha wasn't there."
Her laughing got louder. Shippo turned in his sleep. Miroku slapped his hand against Sango's mouth. "Shhh, you might wake Shippo."
"Miroku, do you think you will ever have children."
"It depends."
"Depends on what?"
"It depends if I find the right person to be their mother."
"Who do you think it will be?"
"I would want it to be a kind, loving, caring woman. She should want to have kids and I would want her to be beautiful and smart. Or a person that will want to have a kid, but doesn't want to see me or the kid after birth."
"Oh."
A while after Miroku left... Inu and Kagome were in the water laughing and swimming around.
"So if we have kid what would its name be?"
"I wasn't really thinking about it. All I know is I love you, and I couldn't live without you. Even if I don't seem like it I really do."
"Ah that's so cute. We should get back it's getting late."
The two got out of the water and started to put on their clothes. Inu laughed when he saw Kagome putting on her first layer of clothes.
"No wonder it takes you girls so long to get ready."
Inu put on shirt and sat on a fallen over log. He just sat there smiling, looking at Kagome. Now and then he would let off a little laugh, and Kagome would smile.
"I'm ready, let's go."
"About time."
"I would like to see you put on my clothes faster than me."
"First of all, if I was a girl I would wear that much clothing. Second, I could do it faster."
"OK, let's see you do it faster," she said as started to undress.
"Come on do I really have too. I was just teasing you."
"If your going to tease someone, be able to the back it up," she said as she took of her skirt.
Inu blushed as he shook his head, "I'm going to look so rediculas in your clothes, I might stretch them out or tear them."
"So I have an extra pair in my backpack," she said taking of her underwear, with only one piece of clothing left on her.
"OK, I'll do it," he said talking off his clothes.
Inu 's clothes were in a pile. He took Kagome's underwear and put them on.
"These are kind of tight against my, you know."
He picked up her bra and asked, "OK, what is this and how do I put it on."
She showed him and then she went over to his clothes and started to put them on.
"What are you doing?" he said putting her shirt on.
"You wearing my clothes so I'm wearing yours."
Inu finished. "See how fast I did that. No can I take them off."
"Hold on I want to take a picture of us."
She went to her backpack and took out a camera. She went to a tree and aimed it at Inu and pressed a button. She ran back to Inu. He put his arm around her and she said smile. The flash blinded Inu and he fell over and sat down. Kagome got a smirk on her face and she ran off into the trees.
"Kagome come back with my clothes," he said as he got up and looked at the direction Kagome ran off to.
"You have to catch me first."
Inu took off after her. "Dam, I hate being human. Wait this is the direction where Sango and Miroku are. She is leading me into a trap," Inu thought. Kagome ran passes Miroku and Sango
"Was that Kagome in Inu-Yasha's clothing, or did Inu-Yasha get shorter."
Just then Inu came into the camp. He wanted to run right passed them but was tripped by Miroku. He fell to his knees.
"Inu-Yasha?"
He turned his head and looked at Miroku. "What?"
"Um, why are you in, um, Kagome's clothes?"
"Long story. First I need to catch her before I get my clothes back."
Kagome came out of the trees and was giggling. Inu looked at her and shook his head.
"Kagome, how could tap me like this and get me so humiliate."
"Wait does this mean you to are..."
"Yea, we are."
Just then Shippo woke up and looked at the two.
"Inu-Yasha, do you know that you are in Kagome's clothes? You look better in that than in you regular clothes. "
He growled.
"Let's go and change back to our regular clothes."
"I still can't believe you did this to me, to me! If I wasn't in love with you I would kill you right now."
"If you weren't in love with me you wouldn't be in my clothes."
"True."
"You know what? I like you with black hair. You seem more normal. More natural. I love you the other way, but now I love you even more," she gave him a little peak on the cheek. They got to the hill and changed clothes.
"I love the way you smell. Now I just smell my clothes and it reminds me of you. I do so much love you."
Kagome smiled as she put on he short skirt. Inu went to the tree and got the camera and walked to the over stuffed backpack and shoved it in. Inu walked over to Kagome and kissed her head and smelled her hair.
"I'm surprised."
"Of what?"
"There are no tears or stretches at all. I thought for sure you would break my uniform."
"Well I tire to please," he said as he had his arms around her.
Inu got the backpack and put out the fire. And went back to the camp. Inu put the backpack against a tree and lied down. Kagome came to Inu and lied now newt to him. Inu put his arm around her and they went to sleep.
"Where am I?" Inu thought.
He was in a dark foggy swamp. He was on a raised patch of land. Trees and water surrounded him. The trees were dead on one side and the other side was lush and green and was pointing him forward. A voice was calling him. He was being drawn forward. The voice got louder. He came to a big patch of land and there was a girl in the middle. Her back was facing her. She said his voice.
"Inu-Yasha."
He came up behind her.
"Kagome?"
He touched her shoulder. She turned around. It was Kikyo. He was drawn toward her lips. They kissed. He heard crying. He pulled away, but Kikyo had her arms around him. He turned his head and saw Kagome. He ripped away from Kikyo. He ran after Kagome. She started to run away. He saw Koga in front of them. Kagome ran into Koga's arm. He held her and kissed her head. Inu put his arm in front of him trying to reach for Kagome. When he got to her, Kagome disappeared and Koga punched Inu in the stomach and then Koga disappeared. Inu crouched over and coughed. He was about to fall over, but some caught him. He looked up and saw Kikyo.
"I will always be here for you. Kagome will not. Come with me."
She grabbed his hand and pulled him. He got up and followed. Then he heard someone far away in the opposite direction calling for him.
"Inu-Yasha! I love you!"
"Kagome!!!"
Inu broke away from Kikyo and ran toward Kagome. Three giant demons popped out of the water and surrounded him. He reached for his sword. It wasn't there. He looked at his fingernails. They weren't demon like. The three demons lunged toward him.
Inu quickly sat up. He was breathing heavily. He looked next to him and Kagome wasn't there. He saw a trickle of light out in the distance by the lake. He got up and quietly walked closer to the light. He got to the hill and the fire was lit. He crawled to the top of the hill and looked at down. He saw Kagome sitting curled up in a ball looking at the lake. Koga came from one of the shores and came up to her. He tried to listen in.
"What are you doing here?"
"I couldn't leave you without giving you a kiss. I want you to know something."
"What Koga?"
"I love you Kagome and I want you to come with me."
"I can't go with you."
"Why not?"
"Its, its Inu-Yasha. I'm in love with Inu-Yasha. I'm sorry."
"Kagome I don't care about Inu-Yasha."
"When finds out that you where here he'll kill you."
"Not if come with me."
"He has a super sharp nose. He will find me. And when he does he will kill you for sure. And I don't want you to die like that."
"So you do care about me. I told you I don't care about Inu-Yasha. I know how we can make it that he can't get your scent."
"I can't take that risk. I don't want to see you die."
"Then just kiss me. Just one kiss."
"Just one kiss. That is all."
Koga put his arms out and grabbed Kagome. Inu stood up and ran to them. He separated them and was looking a Koga.
"What are you going to do? You are full human tonight, aren't you?"
"How did you find out? Never mind, it's not important right now. Now go away. I can still kick you little whippy ass, you wench."
"Bring it on human boy."
Koga punched him in the stomach. Inu crouched over and coughed. Koga elbowed Inu in the back of the head. Inu fell over. Koga raised his hand ready to kill Inu. An arrow flew through the air and pierced Koga's hand. Inu looked up. "Kikyo?" Inu thought. She ran over to Inu and picked him up. Kagome backed up and thought, "I thought she was dead, but she is right there in the flesh."
"Kikyo? I thought you were dead?"
She smiled and looked at Koga. He backed up and tripped. He fell into the water and screamed. He got up and took off still trying to get the arrow out of his hand. She turned to Inu and gazed into his eyes. Inu smiled and gazed back into her eyes, patiently. Kagome still in shocked and here were shaking, "What is she doing? Why is she here?" Her head got closer to Inu and he leaned forward. They started to kiss.
Kagome yelled, "Inu-Yasha you're kissing a dead woman!"
Kikyo slowly backed away. Inu just stared at her. She kept backing up until she was completely in the dark. Inu came out of the daze and ran forward.
"Kikyo wait!" He stopped and looked around. "Kikyo where are you?"
He was still looking around. Kagome she was still in shock and started to cry. She ran off back to where Sango and Miroku were sleeping. Inu turned around and looked for Kagome, not knowing where Kagome was or what she was doing, and got a confused look on his face. He put out the fire and headed back still puzzled from everything that happened that night. When he got back to camp he saw Kagome sitting behind a tree crying. He didn't know why, but he didn't want to bug her.
The next morning Inu woke to find Kagome leaving. He got up quickly and jumped in front of her.
"Where do you think you're going this early in the morning?"
"Last night with Kikyo showed me three things."
"What?"
"First, you still love her. Second, you don't care about me like you did about her. Lastly, it showed me that she could come back. So I'm going home." She started to cry.
"But Kagome it's not like that."
She pushed him a side and started to head to Kaede's village. "Kagome," Inu said as he grabbed her backpack.
"Sit!"
Inu slammed into the ground as Kagome kept running. He got up and yelled, "Kagome I can explain! Come back." He got up and ran after her.
"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!"
Inu slammed into the ground. Miroku ran over to Inu and help him up.
"Inu-Yasha let her go. She needs time to get away from all of this. Especially after what you did last night."
"But I need to talk to her. Wait did she tell you about it."
"She was up all night crying. And her crying woke me up. I wanted to calm her down so I had her tell me what was wrong."
"Why didn't her crying wake me up?"
"You were still human and she was closer to me."
"I need to go after her."
"Give her some time she will come back."
"But there are demon. With the jewel shards she will definitely be attacked."
"You mean these shards," he held the bag of jewel shards, "plus she's tough and it's not that far. She will probably be there before noon."
"Without her we can't find any more shards. We will have to wait."
"We will head back at about four o'clock."
Inu's head slumped down and he had a gloomy look on his face. Miroku patted him on the back and gave him a friendly smile. Inu glared at him.
When Inu got to Kaede's village the sun had been for sometime down. Kaede came over, greeted them, and said, "How could you do that to Kagome?"
"Beat it you old hag."
"Well then, you can sleep outside tonight. Miroku, Sango, Shippo, come with me."
Inu sighed. He went up in a tree. He sat there thinking about Kagome until he dozed off. The other four went into the hut and fell asleep
The next morning Inu woke when he smelt some fish being cook. He jumped down and walked over to Kaede's hut.
"What's for breakfast?"
Kaede glared at him. "Fish, the only food we have until the crops come in."
Inu ate and then took off to the well. He sat there staring at the well for 15 minutes before Miroku came in and sat next to him.
"You miss her don't you?"
He just sat there sadly looking at the well with an expression on his face like he just wanted her to pop out and come to him. "What did she tell you about that night?"
"She said that you were spying on her, stopped her from talking to Koga, Kikyo scared Koga away, and you kissed Kikyo."
"That is some what right, but I could have explain it all if she just gave me a chance."
"Go ahead."
"First, I woke up and she wasn't there. I got worried and I looked for her. I saw her and Koga talking and he was about to kiss her. So I got jealous and I stopped them. Koga attacked me and I couldn't do anything because I was human. Koga was about kill me when Kikyo shot an arrow and stopped him. He ran away and somehow she hypnotized me. I couldn't control what I was doing. I guess she ran off crying and I was still hypnotized until Kikyo left. I looked around. I didn't see Kagome or Kikyo so I went back. I admit I still love Kikyo, but I love Kagome even more."
"Oh. According to you, she was a little overly dramatic and you were looking out for her. And Kikyo is just a inconvenience that took control of you."
"You know what it is practically her fault. Why am I feeling so guilty?"
With that he got up and took off and back to the village. Miroku stood up and went over to the well.
"Kagome if you can hear this, you better come back soon for Inu-Yasha's sake and yours. It's only a matter of time before he comes after you."
Inu jumped from tree to tree until he got to Kaede's village. He was about to go into Kaede's hut, but Sango stopped him.
"Inu-Yasha I need to talk to you about Kagome," she said not knowing about his talk with Miroku.
"Don't worry about it. I have it all figured out."
"I still want to talk to you about it. See I don't know what happened that night, but it seems that you love her. I don't care what happened, you should go after her and apologize even if it wasn't your fault. You don't seem normal without her. It's like you lost a part of you, so go after her and get her back."
Inu took off again. He went to the sacred tree and jumped into the braches. He sat on a branch and thought. "What should I do? I do love her, but I can't go back. Not this soon, I need to let her cool off. If I go back now there will be one word she would say 'sit.' But should I go back? I can't decide.
Back in Kagome's time. She just got back and climbed out of the well. She ran to her house and came through the door. Sota has in his room doing his homework.
"Hey sis. You're back all ready."
She went into her room and put her backpack in the corner. She sat in her bed and started to cry. Sota, hearing her cry, came in and sat next to her.
"What's wrong sis?"
"You wouldn't understand."
"Oh, well if you need some one to talk to, I'm always here."
Sota got up and went back to his room. Her cat came into her room and jumped into her lap. She purred. Kagome petted her and then the cat jumped off and went over to her backpack. She scratched at it. She opened it up and gave the cat the fish that Kaede gave to her. She looked inside of her pack. There was her camera with the picture right next to it. She picked up and looked at it. She smiled and laughed. Then her expression went happy to angry to sad. She threw the picture in her backpack and lied down on her bed. She started to cry again. "I hate you, Inu-Yasha. How could you do that me? I never want to see you again."
A week later in Inu's time:
"Is it just me, or is Inu-Yasha getting more angry at everyone."
"Miroku, he just misses Kagome. He misses her and he's taking it out on everyone."
Inu came in, "Were you talking about me, wench?"
"No."
"I can't stand it any longer. I need to talk to Kagome. I miss her. See ya."
He took some food and ran off toward the well.
"There he goes. It was just a matter of time before he went down the well," Miroku said.
By the time he got to the well he had eaten most his food and threw the rest on the ground. He jumped up and fell down the hole. He closed his eyes. When he was opened them again he was in Tokyo and in the shrine. He jumped out and went through the door. He looked around and ran towards Kagome's house. He slammed open the door and scared Kagome's mom.
"Oh it's you. You're probably looking for Kagome. Well she is at school."
"You're not made at me? Did she tell you why she came back?"
"No I'm not mad at you. And yes she told us. I just see it as a real life fairy tale, but Kagome is really mad at you."
"When is she going to come home?"
"In about an hour."
"I'll be waiting for her in her room. When she gets here, don't tell her."
He went to her room and sat on her bed. He sniffed and smiled. "I miss this smell of her. That sweet smell of Kagome."
"Kagome the bell rang. Come on let's go," Ayumi said.
"What? Oh, just a sec."
She got her stuff and put it away. "Why can't I stop thinking of Inu- Yasha?" She got up and went out the door. Yuka, Ayumi, and Eri were waiting for her.
"What took you so long?"
"I was thinking."
"Is it a boy? Oh, I think she is in love."
"OK I'll tell you. Yes, it is a boy, and I think I'm in love, but I can't go see him. I would just start crying. He hurt me. I just can't do it."
"Oh."
Kagome took off, running to her house. A tear was trying to push its way out. She opened the door and ran to her room. She opened her door and dropped her books.
"Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha what nerve you have coming here like this!" She started to cry. "How could you do that to me?" She ran to him and started to pound his chest.
He put his arms around her. "Kagome let me explain. I can explain it all."
She kept hitting him, but he wasn't even flinching. He sat down on her bed. She was crying profusely. She sat down beside him. He ran his hands through her hair.
"It's going to be OK. I will explain."
Her crying let down a little. "Tell me Inu-Yasha. Why did you kiss her? I was right behind you."
"Here is was happened. I woke up from a nightmare and I didn't see you. I got worried so I looked around for you. I saw a light and I went to it. I saw you sitting on the beach and then Koga came. He was about to kiss you. I jumped in, got hurt, and then was save by Kikyo. Koga ran away. I was shocked to be seeing Kikyo. Some how she was hypnotizing me. She made my kiss her. When I snapped out of it I didn't see you or her, so I went back. I saw you crying and wanted to give you some time to let it all out. It wasn't my fault. Does that explain it?"
Her crying stopped. She though it was to weird to be true, but then again so was the time traveling well. She gave him a hug and got up. She packed up and headed out the door. Inu followed.
"I have a question. Why didn't stop me from kissing her?"
"I was like I couldn't move. I was so in shock until she disappeared. Maybe she hypnotized me so I couldn't move."
"Promise me one thing, never talk about this again. So everything will be like it was before."
"Promise."
They held hands as they went down the well. When they got to the feudal ages Kagome got on Inu's back and he jumped out of the well.
"Look it's Inu-Yasha and it's Kagome."
"Everyone. We have to make a promise that nobody will ever talk about this again. And everything will be like it was before all of this."
"OK, but first, Kagome tell me what made you come back?"
"Inu-Yasha told me what happened. I understood, and I came back."
They all walked back to Kaede's village.
A romance. A fight. A hurt Kagome. What happened?
Chapter 1: The night Kikyo Came
Kagome, Shippo, Sango, and Miroku sleep wile Inu-Yasha sits by the fire. Inu's nose twitches.
"Demon."
Miroku sits up. "Did you say demon?"
"It's getting closer."
Sango and Kagome wake up because of Miroku's moving around.
Sango yawns, "What is it?"
"There is demon, and it's getting closer."
Inu gets up and his ears twitch. Miroku sees rustling in the bushes. Just then a wolf demon walks out of the trees and falls over on the grass.
"Why is he just lying there?" Shippo asked. "Is he dead?"
"He's not dead just badly hurt, and there's humans coming."
"There he is," a voice said from the darkness.
A group of people came out of the darkness with torches, swords, and arrows.
"What do you think your doing?" Sango yelled to the mob.
"This demon ate all of our food and destroyed our homes. So now we are going to kill him."
"It's Koga," Kagome said.
"Then let them kill him," said Inu.
"Inu-Yasha you go out there and save him."
"I'd like to see you make me."
"SIT!"
Inu slammed into the ground, "Ok I'll save him."
Inu flew over Koga and landed in front mob.
"Another demon. He probably helped the other demon. Kill them both!"
Inu pulled out his sword, "Back off or I'll kill all of you. I mean it."
"You think you're that tough. You couldn't kill us. We have too much skill, how do you think we hurt that demon so badly. Now let us kill them"
Four people rushed out from the crowd and started to attack Inu. Inu dodge all the swing of the swords and axes. Inu cut the axes' handle with his claws and the blades fell onto the ground. He dodged the swings of the swords, and then he cut them in half with his sword. The four people backed away.
"I didn't even break a sweat, and it would have been a lot faster if killed them."
"AH!" they screamed as they ran away.
Inu turned around to see Kagome at the side of Koga.
"Koga is really hurt. He has many cut, and if it wasn't for the jewel shards, he would definitely be dead."
Kagome and Sango picked up Koga and brought him by the fire. Kagome went her pack and got out some bandages. She started to rap him up.
"Kagome," Koga said in a weak voice, "Kagome is that you?"
"Yes, just stay still and everything will be OK."
After Kagome was done rapping Koga up, the fire was almost out. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were asleep. Inu was poking at the fire with a stick.
"Why did you want me to save him? He's a back stabbing little..."
"Inu-Yasha! How could you say that? A life was at stake, and it is a person that we know. If it was me there instead of Koga what would you have done?"
"I would have. I would have saved you."
"You would save me, but not Koga. Why is that?"
"Shhh, you'll wake the others. Because of, of, of, never mind," Inu said as he lied down.
"Inu you answer my now. Why would you save me and not Koga?"
"Because he tried to take you away. OK! Plus I hate him and he hates me."
"Why would you think that?"
"Shut up and get to sleep."
"Why do you care if he took me away? Huh? Answer me!"
"Shut up and go to sleep!"
The next morning Kagome woke up to see Sango, Miroku, and Shippo sitting by the fire while Inu was cooking breakfast.
"Inu-Yasha you don't usually cook, especially for everyone. What's with you? I like you like this."
"I was hungry and no one was awake so I started to make my breakfast, but then I new you guys would want some so I'm cooking yours now. OK."
"OK, you don't have too be so mean about it."
Kagome went over to Koga. She moved his hair to the back of his ear. Koga took a deep breath, looked at Kagome, and said, "Kagome. You saved me?"
"No, Inu-Yasha did, but I kinda made him. You feeling better?"
"A little, but it hurts all over. Do I smell food?"
"Is there food for Koga?"
"Some," Inu said meanly in a sigh.
Kagome walked over took some food and went back to Koga. She started to feed Koga. Inu glared at them.
"What's wrong Inu-Yasha?" Miroku asked.
"Nothing."
"Your jealous aren't you?"
"Why would I be jealous of him?"
"I think you like Kagome."
Inu glared. "That's crazy. Me liking Kagome, ha!"
"What, I heard my name," Kagome said.
"Inu-Yasha likes you," Shippo said. Kagome blushed slightly.
Inu hit him on the head. "I do not you little wench."
"Inu-Yasha, don't hit poor little Shippo."
"He deserves it, that little wench," Inu said softly.
"Inu-Yasha! I heard that."
"Oh sorry, I thought you were to busy feeding that baby over there," Inu said sarcastically.
"Inu-Yasha! Sit!!!"
Inu slammed into the ground. Inu groaned. He picked up the food from the fire and gave it to Sango. "Why does she have to say that word all the time. It's not my fault she's making all the fuss over Koga. If it was up to me he would be dead right now." Inu thought.
Later that morning, Kagome and Sango were getting some berries in a small meadow.
"Sango, I need to get something off my chest and I think you'll understand."
"What is it?"
"Well, how can I say this? Well, the thing is I can't stop thinking about Inu-Yasha. I think I might be in love. It's hard to believe, but I can't help it."
"Well... I can kind of believe... some times you seem like you really like him and other times you seem like you can't stand to be near him."
"What every you do don't mention this to any one."
"Mention what?" Miroku said as he came out of the trees.
"Nothing, just girls stuff."
"Oh, OK. We're ready to head off so finish up."
"OK, we are just about done. Just a few more berries. How's Koga?"
"He got better really quickly. He's walking, but still hurt. He might be with use for another two to three days."
Later that day the gang stops at a small lake.
"Miroku, Shippo, Koga. I want to show you something over there," Sango said.
Inu sat down on a hill looking over the lake. Kagome walked over and sat next to him.
"Sorry about this morning. I guess I got a little too carried away."
"Don't apoligize I was just as guilty as you."
Kagome turned so she was looking at Inu.
"Inu-Yasha, do like me?"
"I like you as a friend if that's what you mean."
"No. Do you LIKE me?"
"Oh. Well, honestly I would miss you if you left. Like that one time when you got really mad and went back to your time, I really missed you. I couldn't stop thinking of you. If that answers your question."
"Kinda," she said as she scooted toward him. She put her hand in hair and moved up to his ears.
"Well, I have to tell you the truth. I think I'm in love with you."
Inu turned and looked at Kagome with a somewhat shocked look on his face. He put his hand in her hair and ran his fingers through it.
"I think I'm in love with you too."
With that said Inu put his hands on her cheeks and kissed her. They fell on the ground rolled down the short hill.
"So what did you want to show us, Sango?"
"Um, to tell you the truth, Miroku, I think Inu-Yasha and Kagome need some time alone."
"You mean to settle their difference?"
"Yea, sure."
"Do you hear that," Koga asked.
"Hear what?" Sango said.
"I hear it. What is it?" Shippo said.
"I don't know."
Inu was kissing Kagome's neck when he stopped and looked up. He sniffed the air and got up.
"What is it Inu-Yasha?"
"I smell something, something. Demon. A demon is coming."
The ground shook. Then there was a scream from a kid. Inu jumped up and took off into the woods. Koga and Shippo came out of the woods and came over to Kagome.
"Miroku and Sango took of when they heard the kid scream."
"Let's go they might need us."
When Koga, Shippo, and Koga arrived Inu was standing in front of a crowd with Sango and Miroku at his side.
"So you want to challenge us. Do you think you could defeat us?"
Five guys rushed out of the crowd. The first swung his sword. Inu dodged it then tire to dodge another swing. A little bit of Inu's white hair fell on to the ground. Inu jumped backward and pulled out his tetsusaiga. He swung it into the ground. The five guys flew backward. Kagome went over to the little kid. The kid was breathing heavily and his hands where shaking.
"Where's my mother?"
"Shhh. Every thing will be OK. Just wait, Inu-Yasha will take care of them."
"Is he a demon?"
"Yes, but he's good. He will help you."
Inu was standing in front of the crowd staring down the people. Sango with her giant boomerang ready to fight. A path started to form in the middle of warriors. A tall man with long brown hair and a giant sword strapped to his back stepped in front Inu.
"So, demon what do you want?"
"I want you and your people to go and never harm any human again."
"This is uncalled from a demon. Wait did you say never harm any humans again."
"That is right now go!"
"We will go."
"But boss."
"Let me finish. We will go, after we do one more thing." He stepped back into the crowd. "Kill that demon!"
The crowd charged at Inu. Sango through her boomerang and pulled out her sword. Inu slammed his tetsusaiga into the ground forming a path of fast moving air in front of him. That didn't stop the warriors, they kept running towards him. They surrounded him with swords in hand. Inu was in the middle of a circle of crazy, skilled warriors. Sango was fighting off three people and Miroku was doing the same. The crowd around Inu was ready attack at a moments notice. They jolted towards Inu. He jumped as the little open space closed underneath him. He started to descend toward the angry warriors. Inu swung his sword and some people fell to the ground. The group of people got Inu down where Kagome couldn't see him.
"Inu-Yasha!"
Kagome pulled an arrow out and shot it into the crowd. A few more people fell to the ground. Sango killed the last of her attackers. She ran to her boomerang, grabbed, and through it into the crowd. In the middle of the crowd, ten warriors fell to the ground. Inu jumped up and to the side of Sango. He rushed into the crowd while swinging tetsusaiga rapidly. "There about half of them left," Inu thought. The group of warriors started to retreat. They ran right passed their leader and onto the forest.
"So you were able to kill half of my team, and you scared the other half off. I'm impressed. You wont be so lucky facing me."
Inu trying to catch his breathe, "I would like to see you kill a demon of my skills."
"You not a full demon. I can smell it in your blood. Your only half demon."
Inu thought, "If he can smell what kind of demon I am. That means he's a demon too." "You are a demon?" He yelled.
"About time you figured that out. I thought it would be obvious with your nose."
"Your me killed so many people I could concentrate on your scent, but know I smell it. Bring it on."
"Inu-Yasha he has a jewel shard!" Kagome yelled.
"Good." Inu rushed toward the demon. He pulled the sword out from his back. Inu thrusted his sword toward the demon leader. He blocked the attack.
"You cannot defeat the great Coozer."
"Well Coozer, I have some bad news for you..."
Inu took a step back and then jabbed at Coozer. Coozer blocked. Inu swung the sword over his head. Coozer blocked it, but his sword started to crack.
"...you are going to die by my hands."
Inu, still holding the sword were it is blocked, let his left hand go and slashed the demon into three pieces. Kagome ran over looking for the jewel shard. She grabbed it and ran back. He was trying to breathe. Inu took his sword and slashed Coozer's head in half. Miroku heard a scream from the only building not on fire. There was smoke coming from the rough. He ran into the hut.
"Inu-Yasha! I could use your help in here."
Inu put away his sword and dashed into the now burning hut. There were five women and three girls behind a fallen burning beam. Inu jumped through the fire to the side with the girls. He used his claws to cut a pathway to the out side where Sango was waiting. Koga ran inside the burning building.
"The hut is going to collapse!"
The ceiling started to lean inwards. Koga put his arms up and held the ceiling.
"Come on. Hurry up. I can't hold this for much longer."
Miroku got the last women out. "Come on Koga. Everyone's out."
"I can't move."
"Once again I have to save you," Inu said as he ripped open the back wall. He lunged forward grabbing Koga and getting through the door just before the hut collapsed.
"Mommy!" the little kid said as he ran to the shaken up old woman.
"I'm surprised of you Inu-Yasha. You saved Koga without anyone telling you to."
"Don't get used to it. When is he going to leave anyways?"
"Where you talking about me?"
"Yea, so what."
"Oh, I just wanted to thank you for saving me. I really appreciate it. Well I better get back. See you later."
"Let's go back to the lake and get away from all destuction and death," Kagome said.
"Do you know what tonight is?"
"Let's see, hum. Wait is tonight a new moon."
"Yea, and the sun is almost down."
By the time they got back to the lake the sun was down and Inu had already transformed. They set up a camp and Kagome went to the hill and made a fire there.
"Miroku I'm trusting you with my tetsusaiga. I can't use it any way. I'm going to go check on Kagome."
As Inu came out of the trees he saw Kagome looking at the reflection of the stars in the lake. Inu smiled and blushed slightly. He walked up quietly behind her. He puts his arms around and kisses her head. He sits next to her and she leans her head against his chest. He puts his arms around her and squeezes her, but not to hard.
"Tonight is the only night that I don't have claws, and more importantly I have no fangs."
Inu blushed when he said that. Kagome got a little smile on her face. She turned and looked at him and gave him a little kiss.
"That is for saving Koga."
She kissed him again. "That is for being kind."
"And this is because I love you."
Kagome stared deeply into his eyes. She moved closer and closer to Inu. She put her hand on the back of his head on the silky smooth hair. There heads touched as Kagome closed her eyes. They fell over onto the ground Kagome slowly pulled away. "She has the cutest little smile on her cute face," Inu thought. Kogome started to take Inu shirt off.
"What are you doing sweet heart?"
"You'll see."
Inu got what she meant. A smile went on his face and he blushed. He growled playfully. She laughed. His shirt was off and all that was left was his pants. He started to take here shirt off.
Back at the camp, "Where is Inu-Yasha and Kagome? They have been gone for a while. I hope they are all right."
Miroku got up and headed to the hill. When he got there Kagome and Inu already rolled down the hill and were practically naked. They were kissed when they heard Miroku's voice...
"Inu-Yasha! Kagome! Where are you?"
Kagome's head jolted up.
"Miroku's here. Jump into the water and hold your breath. I'll be right in."
Inu took his clothes and through them into the bushes. He quietly got in the water and went under. Kagome took off her last piece of clothing and jumped in. Miroku go to the top of the hill by the fire when he saw Kagome. Kagome screamed.
He covered his eyes with his arm, turned away. "Sorry Kagome. Forgive me. Do you know where Inu-Yasha is?"
"He said he needed time to think. Now go away."
"Alright."
When Miroku got out of Kagome's view, she tapped Inu on the head.
"He's gone, now where were we."
"Why do we have to be so secretive? I don't see why we can't..."
Kogome kissed him. They slowly walked out of the water, still kissing. They fell on the ground. Inu still blushing opened his eyes and pulled away. He smiled and started to kiss her again.
Back at camp...Miroku came through the trees. He sat next to Sango.
"What were they doing?"
"I didn't see Inu-Yasha but I walked in on Kagome taking a bath."
Sango laughed. Miroku said, "What is so funny?"
"Nothing. Are you sure you didn't see Inu-Yasha there?"
"What is that supposed to mean? Are you saying Inu-Yasha would peak in on Kagome?"
"No, I just wanted to make sure Inu-Yasha wasn't there."
Her laughing got louder. Shippo turned in his sleep. Miroku slapped his hand against Sango's mouth. "Shhh, you might wake Shippo."
"Miroku, do you think you will ever have children."
"It depends."
"Depends on what?"
"It depends if I find the right person to be their mother."
"Who do you think it will be?"
"I would want it to be a kind, loving, caring woman. She should want to have kids and I would want her to be beautiful and smart. Or a person that will want to have a kid, but doesn't want to see me or the kid after birth."
"Oh."
A while after Miroku left... Inu and Kagome were in the water laughing and swimming around.
"So if we have kid what would its name be?"
"I wasn't really thinking about it. All I know is I love you, and I couldn't live without you. Even if I don't seem like it I really do."
"Ah that's so cute. We should get back it's getting late."
The two got out of the water and started to put on their clothes. Inu laughed when he saw Kagome putting on her first layer of clothes.
"No wonder it takes you girls so long to get ready."
Inu put on shirt and sat on a fallen over log. He just sat there smiling, looking at Kagome. Now and then he would let off a little laugh, and Kagome would smile.
"I'm ready, let's go."
"About time."
"I would like to see you put on my clothes faster than me."
"First of all, if I was a girl I would wear that much clothing. Second, I could do it faster."
"OK, let's see you do it faster," she said as started to undress.
"Come on do I really have too. I was just teasing you."
"If your going to tease someone, be able to the back it up," she said as she took of her skirt.
Inu blushed as he shook his head, "I'm going to look so rediculas in your clothes, I might stretch them out or tear them."
"So I have an extra pair in my backpack," she said taking of her underwear, with only one piece of clothing left on her.
"OK, I'll do it," he said talking off his clothes.
Inu 's clothes were in a pile. He took Kagome's underwear and put them on.
"These are kind of tight against my, you know."
He picked up her bra and asked, "OK, what is this and how do I put it on."
She showed him and then she went over to his clothes and started to put them on.
"What are you doing?" he said putting her shirt on.
"You wearing my clothes so I'm wearing yours."
Inu finished. "See how fast I did that. No can I take them off."
"Hold on I want to take a picture of us."
She went to her backpack and took out a camera. She went to a tree and aimed it at Inu and pressed a button. She ran back to Inu. He put his arm around her and she said smile. The flash blinded Inu and he fell over and sat down. Kagome got a smirk on her face and she ran off into the trees.
"Kagome come back with my clothes," he said as he got up and looked at the direction Kagome ran off to.
"You have to catch me first."
Inu took off after her. "Dam, I hate being human. Wait this is the direction where Sango and Miroku are. She is leading me into a trap," Inu thought. Kagome ran passes Miroku and Sango
"Was that Kagome in Inu-Yasha's clothing, or did Inu-Yasha get shorter."
Just then Inu came into the camp. He wanted to run right passed them but was tripped by Miroku. He fell to his knees.
"Inu-Yasha?"
He turned his head and looked at Miroku. "What?"
"Um, why are you in, um, Kagome's clothes?"
"Long story. First I need to catch her before I get my clothes back."
Kagome came out of the trees and was giggling. Inu looked at her and shook his head.
"Kagome, how could tap me like this and get me so humiliate."
"Wait does this mean you to are..."
"Yea, we are."
Just then Shippo woke up and looked at the two.
"Inu-Yasha, do you know that you are in Kagome's clothes? You look better in that than in you regular clothes. "
He growled.
"Let's go and change back to our regular clothes."
"I still can't believe you did this to me, to me! If I wasn't in love with you I would kill you right now."
"If you weren't in love with me you wouldn't be in my clothes."
"True."
"You know what? I like you with black hair. You seem more normal. More natural. I love you the other way, but now I love you even more," she gave him a little peak on the cheek. They got to the hill and changed clothes.
"I love the way you smell. Now I just smell my clothes and it reminds me of you. I do so much love you."
Kagome smiled as she put on he short skirt. Inu went to the tree and got the camera and walked to the over stuffed backpack and shoved it in. Inu walked over to Kagome and kissed her head and smelled her hair.
"I'm surprised."
"Of what?"
"There are no tears or stretches at all. I thought for sure you would break my uniform."
"Well I tire to please," he said as he had his arms around her.
Inu got the backpack and put out the fire. And went back to the camp. Inu put the backpack against a tree and lied down. Kagome came to Inu and lied now newt to him. Inu put his arm around her and they went to sleep.
"Where am I?" Inu thought.
He was in a dark foggy swamp. He was on a raised patch of land. Trees and water surrounded him. The trees were dead on one side and the other side was lush and green and was pointing him forward. A voice was calling him. He was being drawn forward. The voice got louder. He came to a big patch of land and there was a girl in the middle. Her back was facing her. She said his voice.
"Inu-Yasha."
He came up behind her.
"Kagome?"
He touched her shoulder. She turned around. It was Kikyo. He was drawn toward her lips. They kissed. He heard crying. He pulled away, but Kikyo had her arms around him. He turned his head and saw Kagome. He ripped away from Kikyo. He ran after Kagome. She started to run away. He saw Koga in front of them. Kagome ran into Koga's arm. He held her and kissed her head. Inu put his arm in front of him trying to reach for Kagome. When he got to her, Kagome disappeared and Koga punched Inu in the stomach and then Koga disappeared. Inu crouched over and coughed. He was about to fall over, but some caught him. He looked up and saw Kikyo.
"I will always be here for you. Kagome will not. Come with me."
She grabbed his hand and pulled him. He got up and followed. Then he heard someone far away in the opposite direction calling for him.
"Inu-Yasha! I love you!"
"Kagome!!!"
Inu broke away from Kikyo and ran toward Kagome. Three giant demons popped out of the water and surrounded him. He reached for his sword. It wasn't there. He looked at his fingernails. They weren't demon like. The three demons lunged toward him.
Inu quickly sat up. He was breathing heavily. He looked next to him and Kagome wasn't there. He saw a trickle of light out in the distance by the lake. He got up and quietly walked closer to the light. He got to the hill and the fire was lit. He crawled to the top of the hill and looked at down. He saw Kagome sitting curled up in a ball looking at the lake. Koga came from one of the shores and came up to her. He tried to listen in.
"What are you doing here?"
"I couldn't leave you without giving you a kiss. I want you to know something."
"What Koga?"
"I love you Kagome and I want you to come with me."
"I can't go with you."
"Why not?"
"Its, its Inu-Yasha. I'm in love with Inu-Yasha. I'm sorry."
"Kagome I don't care about Inu-Yasha."
"When finds out that you where here he'll kill you."
"Not if come with me."
"He has a super sharp nose. He will find me. And when he does he will kill you for sure. And I don't want you to die like that."
"So you do care about me. I told you I don't care about Inu-Yasha. I know how we can make it that he can't get your scent."
"I can't take that risk. I don't want to see you die."
"Then just kiss me. Just one kiss."
"Just one kiss. That is all."
Koga put his arms out and grabbed Kagome. Inu stood up and ran to them. He separated them and was looking a Koga.
"What are you going to do? You are full human tonight, aren't you?"
"How did you find out? Never mind, it's not important right now. Now go away. I can still kick you little whippy ass, you wench."
"Bring it on human boy."
Koga punched him in the stomach. Inu crouched over and coughed. Koga elbowed Inu in the back of the head. Inu fell over. Koga raised his hand ready to kill Inu. An arrow flew through the air and pierced Koga's hand. Inu looked up. "Kikyo?" Inu thought. She ran over to Inu and picked him up. Kagome backed up and thought, "I thought she was dead, but she is right there in the flesh."
"Kikyo? I thought you were dead?"
She smiled and looked at Koga. He backed up and tripped. He fell into the water and screamed. He got up and took off still trying to get the arrow out of his hand. She turned to Inu and gazed into his eyes. Inu smiled and gazed back into her eyes, patiently. Kagome still in shocked and here were shaking, "What is she doing? Why is she here?" Her head got closer to Inu and he leaned forward. They started to kiss.
Kagome yelled, "Inu-Yasha you're kissing a dead woman!"
Kikyo slowly backed away. Inu just stared at her. She kept backing up until she was completely in the dark. Inu came out of the daze and ran forward.
"Kikyo wait!" He stopped and looked around. "Kikyo where are you?"
He was still looking around. Kagome she was still in shock and started to cry. She ran off back to where Sango and Miroku were sleeping. Inu turned around and looked for Kagome, not knowing where Kagome was or what she was doing, and got a confused look on his face. He put out the fire and headed back still puzzled from everything that happened that night. When he got back to camp he saw Kagome sitting behind a tree crying. He didn't know why, but he didn't want to bug her.
The next morning Inu woke to find Kagome leaving. He got up quickly and jumped in front of her.
"Where do you think you're going this early in the morning?"
"Last night with Kikyo showed me three things."
"What?"
"First, you still love her. Second, you don't care about me like you did about her. Lastly, it showed me that she could come back. So I'm going home." She started to cry.
"But Kagome it's not like that."
She pushed him a side and started to head to Kaede's village. "Kagome," Inu said as he grabbed her backpack.
"Sit!"
Inu slammed into the ground as Kagome kept running. He got up and yelled, "Kagome I can explain! Come back." He got up and ran after her.
"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!"
Inu slammed into the ground. Miroku ran over to Inu and help him up.
"Inu-Yasha let her go. She needs time to get away from all of this. Especially after what you did last night."
"But I need to talk to her. Wait did she tell you about it."
"She was up all night crying. And her crying woke me up. I wanted to calm her down so I had her tell me what was wrong."
"Why didn't her crying wake me up?"
"You were still human and she was closer to me."
"I need to go after her."
"Give her some time she will come back."
"But there are demon. With the jewel shards she will definitely be attacked."
"You mean these shards," he held the bag of jewel shards, "plus she's tough and it's not that far. She will probably be there before noon."
"Without her we can't find any more shards. We will have to wait."
"We will head back at about four o'clock."
Inu's head slumped down and he had a gloomy look on his face. Miroku patted him on the back and gave him a friendly smile. Inu glared at him.
When Inu got to Kaede's village the sun had been for sometime down. Kaede came over, greeted them, and said, "How could you do that to Kagome?"
"Beat it you old hag."
"Well then, you can sleep outside tonight. Miroku, Sango, Shippo, come with me."
Inu sighed. He went up in a tree. He sat there thinking about Kagome until he dozed off. The other four went into the hut and fell asleep
The next morning Inu woke when he smelt some fish being cook. He jumped down and walked over to Kaede's hut.
"What's for breakfast?"
Kaede glared at him. "Fish, the only food we have until the crops come in."
Inu ate and then took off to the well. He sat there staring at the well for 15 minutes before Miroku came in and sat next to him.
"You miss her don't you?"
He just sat there sadly looking at the well with an expression on his face like he just wanted her to pop out and come to him. "What did she tell you about that night?"
"She said that you were spying on her, stopped her from talking to Koga, Kikyo scared Koga away, and you kissed Kikyo."
"That is some what right, but I could have explain it all if she just gave me a chance."
"Go ahead."
"First, I woke up and she wasn't there. I got worried and I looked for her. I saw her and Koga talking and he was about to kiss her. So I got jealous and I stopped them. Koga attacked me and I couldn't do anything because I was human. Koga was about kill me when Kikyo shot an arrow and stopped him. He ran away and somehow she hypnotized me. I couldn't control what I was doing. I guess she ran off crying and I was still hypnotized until Kikyo left. I looked around. I didn't see Kagome or Kikyo so I went back. I admit I still love Kikyo, but I love Kagome even more."
"Oh. According to you, she was a little overly dramatic and you were looking out for her. And Kikyo is just a inconvenience that took control of you."
"You know what it is practically her fault. Why am I feeling so guilty?"
With that he got up and took off and back to the village. Miroku stood up and went over to the well.
"Kagome if you can hear this, you better come back soon for Inu-Yasha's sake and yours. It's only a matter of time before he comes after you."
Inu jumped from tree to tree until he got to Kaede's village. He was about to go into Kaede's hut, but Sango stopped him.
"Inu-Yasha I need to talk to you about Kagome," she said not knowing about his talk with Miroku.
"Don't worry about it. I have it all figured out."
"I still want to talk to you about it. See I don't know what happened that night, but it seems that you love her. I don't care what happened, you should go after her and apologize even if it wasn't your fault. You don't seem normal without her. It's like you lost a part of you, so go after her and get her back."
Inu took off again. He went to the sacred tree and jumped into the braches. He sat on a branch and thought. "What should I do? I do love her, but I can't go back. Not this soon, I need to let her cool off. If I go back now there will be one word she would say 'sit.' But should I go back? I can't decide.
Back in Kagome's time. She just got back and climbed out of the well. She ran to her house and came through the door. Sota has in his room doing his homework.
"Hey sis. You're back all ready."
She went into her room and put her backpack in the corner. She sat in her bed and started to cry. Sota, hearing her cry, came in and sat next to her.
"What's wrong sis?"
"You wouldn't understand."
"Oh, well if you need some one to talk to, I'm always here."
Sota got up and went back to his room. Her cat came into her room and jumped into her lap. She purred. Kagome petted her and then the cat jumped off and went over to her backpack. She scratched at it. She opened it up and gave the cat the fish that Kaede gave to her. She looked inside of her pack. There was her camera with the picture right next to it. She picked up and looked at it. She smiled and laughed. Then her expression went happy to angry to sad. She threw the picture in her backpack and lied down on her bed. She started to cry again. "I hate you, Inu-Yasha. How could you do that me? I never want to see you again."
A week later in Inu's time:
"Is it just me, or is Inu-Yasha getting more angry at everyone."
"Miroku, he just misses Kagome. He misses her and he's taking it out on everyone."
Inu came in, "Were you talking about me, wench?"
"No."
"I can't stand it any longer. I need to talk to Kagome. I miss her. See ya."
He took some food and ran off toward the well.
"There he goes. It was just a matter of time before he went down the well," Miroku said.
By the time he got to the well he had eaten most his food and threw the rest on the ground. He jumped up and fell down the hole. He closed his eyes. When he was opened them again he was in Tokyo and in the shrine. He jumped out and went through the door. He looked around and ran towards Kagome's house. He slammed open the door and scared Kagome's mom.
"Oh it's you. You're probably looking for Kagome. Well she is at school."
"You're not made at me? Did she tell you why she came back?"
"No I'm not mad at you. And yes she told us. I just see it as a real life fairy tale, but Kagome is really mad at you."
"When is she going to come home?"
"In about an hour."
"I'll be waiting for her in her room. When she gets here, don't tell her."
He went to her room and sat on her bed. He sniffed and smiled. "I miss this smell of her. That sweet smell of Kagome."
"Kagome the bell rang. Come on let's go," Ayumi said.
"What? Oh, just a sec."
She got her stuff and put it away. "Why can't I stop thinking of Inu- Yasha?" She got up and went out the door. Yuka, Ayumi, and Eri were waiting for her.
"What took you so long?"
"I was thinking."
"Is it a boy? Oh, I think she is in love."
"OK I'll tell you. Yes, it is a boy, and I think I'm in love, but I can't go see him. I would just start crying. He hurt me. I just can't do it."
"Oh."
Kagome took off, running to her house. A tear was trying to push its way out. She opened the door and ran to her room. She opened her door and dropped her books.
"Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha what nerve you have coming here like this!" She started to cry. "How could you do that to me?" She ran to him and started to pound his chest.
He put his arms around her. "Kagome let me explain. I can explain it all."
She kept hitting him, but he wasn't even flinching. He sat down on her bed. She was crying profusely. She sat down beside him. He ran his hands through her hair.
"It's going to be OK. I will explain."
Her crying let down a little. "Tell me Inu-Yasha. Why did you kiss her? I was right behind you."
"Here is was happened. I woke up from a nightmare and I didn't see you. I got worried so I looked around for you. I saw a light and I went to it. I saw you sitting on the beach and then Koga came. He was about to kiss you. I jumped in, got hurt, and then was save by Kikyo. Koga ran away. I was shocked to be seeing Kikyo. Some how she was hypnotizing me. She made my kiss her. When I snapped out of it I didn't see you or her, so I went back. I saw you crying and wanted to give you some time to let it all out. It wasn't my fault. Does that explain it?"
Her crying stopped. She though it was to weird to be true, but then again so was the time traveling well. She gave him a hug and got up. She packed up and headed out the door. Inu followed.
"I have a question. Why didn't stop me from kissing her?"
"I was like I couldn't move. I was so in shock until she disappeared. Maybe she hypnotized me so I couldn't move."
"Promise me one thing, never talk about this again. So everything will be like it was before."
"Promise."
They held hands as they went down the well. When they got to the feudal ages Kagome got on Inu's back and he jumped out of the well.
"Look it's Inu-Yasha and it's Kagome."
"Everyone. We have to make a promise that nobody will ever talk about this again. And everything will be like it was before all of this."
"OK, but first, Kagome tell me what made you come back?"
"Inu-Yasha told me what happened. I understood, and I came back."
They all walked back to Kaede's village.
