Author's note: I do not own Inuyasha in any way. It belongs to the creators. I may wish I did, but -sadly- I don't.

Chapter 1

Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara were watching their screaming friends from a distance. They knew better than to sit too close. Inuyasha and Kagome were fighting again. This was a daily recurrence for the group.

It was two years after they had killed Naraku. It had been three since the group of unlikely companions had found each other and little has changed since then. The things that did change was Miroku and Sango's relationship. Miroku and Sango were married and expecting their first child. She was five months pregnant.

"Oh, so you could go off with Kikyo and flirt with her, but I can't just talk to Koga!" Kagome screamed at Inuyasha . Of course she knew that Inuyasha hadn't seen Kikyo for a long time but she just thought it was so unfair that Inuyasha was mad that she talked to Koga.

"Kagome, where are you going?" Inuyasha yelled after Kagome, who was stomping back to the bone eaters well.

"I'm going home!"

"Get back here you stupid wench!"

Kagome's fists balled up. She turned around. Inuyasha knew this look in Kagome's eyes.

'Oh shi-' Inuyasha didn't get to think the rest.

"SIT!" The beads on Inuyasha's neckless glowed and pulled him to the ground face forward, into the dirt. Thud.

"Damn. What was that for?"

"I hate you! You stupid hanyou!" Kagome turned and stalked off to the well.

Inuyasha was frozen in place. The spell wore off, but he was unable to move.

'Is that what she really thinks of me? Does she really hate me?' Inuyasha felt his heart ache. He watched her back as she stalked off. He loved the young miko that had the power to make him 'sit.' He loved everything about her, her eyes, her smile, her warmth in which she takes everything and everyone in.

Miroku and Sango looked at each other, they saw Inuyasha's distress. Shippo was worried, he was wondering if his adoptive mother would ever come back this time. He knew Inuyasha would go and get her in a day or two.

Inuyasha got to his feet, he looked at his friends, his family, then looked away and ran off to his favorite tree to think.

Kagome's time

'I can't believe him! He's such a jerk! He's so jealous!' Kagome was so furious she almost ran into Sota.

"Oh, Sota, I'm sorry. I didn't see you."

"Hey, Sis. Where's Inuyasha?"

"Ugh!" Kagome screamed. She stomped off into the house and up to her bedroom. She flopped down onto her bed, her face into the pillow.

Sota knew why Kagome was in this mood. Inuyasha and Kagome had another fight. Sota didn't know why Inuyasha didn't claim her yet. They had been trying to find the Sacred jewel shards for a little more than three years and Sota knew that Inuyasha and Kagome loved each other close to the beginning.

Kagome knew she shouldn't have called Inuyasha what she did. She felt horrible now for saying it. She wanted to tell him she was sorry, but she was still too angry to go back. She decided to stay in her time for another day and maybe go to school tomorrow. Then she remembered that today was Friday.

Kagome sighed. 'Inuyasha you are so stupid. Can't you see that I don't love Koga, that I love you? You are so insecure, you're such an idiot. I wish you would just see how much I care for you.'

Kagome got to her feet and went downstairs to the family room. Her mother was in the kitchen making dinner. Her mother heard Kagome in the family room.

"Hello, Kagome, dear. I wasn't expecting you home today. Is everything okay?" her mother called out to her.

"Everything's okay mom, me and Inuyasha just got into another fight," Kagome reassured her mother.

She worried that Inuyasha would never forgive her. She saw that she hurt him when she said those words. She was going to settle for a little bit to calm down and for Inuyasha also to calm down also. He was probably upset with her.

Inuyasha's time

Inuyasha was sitting in his favorite tree thinking about his and Kagome's fight earlier. He was worried that Kagome didn't love him. He couldn't stop thinking about what she said to him.

**Flashback**

"Kagome, where are you going?" Inuyasha yelled after her. Kagome was stomping back to the bone eaters well.

"I'm going home!"

"Get back here you stupid wench!"

Kagome's fists balled up. She turned around. Inuyasha knew this look in Kagome's eyes.

'Oh shi-' Inuyasha didn't get to think the rest.

"SIT!" the beads on Inuyasha's neckless glowed and pulled him to the ground face forward, into the dirt. Thud.

"Damn. What was that for?"

"I hate you! You stupid hanyou!" Kagome turned and stalked off to the well.

**Flashback ends**

"I hate you! You stupid hanyou!" Her words echoed through his head.

'Does she really hate me? Does she really think I'm a stupid hanyou?' Inuyasha had asked these questions to himself after she had said them. 'She once told me she loved me as a half demon. Does she still? Or has she given up on me? On a future with me and her?' Inuyasha needed to talk to someone. The only person he could talk to was Miroku, since he doesn't like all the other guys he met. He could talk to Shippo, but he was too young to have experience with women yet. So the only person he could talk to was Miroku. Inuyasha sighed and jumped down from his branch.

Inuyasha found Miroku with Sango and Shippo at the lake. Sango was playing with Shippo and Miroku was quietly watching.

"Miroku, could I talk to you? Alone," Inuyasha said in his normal tone. It sounded like a growl.

"Sure, Inuyasha," Miroku said coolly. He kissed Sango on the lips quickly. Inuyasha was already walking away. Miroku sighed and quickly got up and followed Inuyasha, who was stalking off into the forest.

Inuyasha stopped a little ways into the trees, he turned and face Miroku. Miroku stopped walking when he was a two feet away from Inuyasha, then he sat down and crossed his legs. Inuyasha did the same.

"Inuyasha, what is this about?"

Inuyasha thought he would be comfortable talking to Miroku, but now that he was talking to him his cheeks got warm. He didn't answer yet.

Miroku wondered why Inuyasha was blushing. He could imagine why Inuyasha had a reason to blush. The only time Miroku saw his half demon best friend blush was when he let something slip when he was talking to Lady Kagome, his other good friend.

"Do you know if Kagome hates me? How do I tell her?" Inuyasha finally said.

"Inuyasha , you must be blind to not see that Kagome loves you. And you should tell her in your own way. Not that I wouldn't help you because I will, but my way might get you slapped."

"Heh," Inuyasha answered. The monk was known to get slapped very day.

"Inuyasha, I think you should just tell her, just blurt it out. They are only words, after all."

Inuyasha gave Miroku a nervous look. "I don't know how to say them."

"Inuyasha , you mean you've never told anyone you loved them?" Miroku was astonished.

Inuyasha shook his head, not looking at the monk.

"Well then, we have a lot of work to do."
