Worried Hearts

I do not own Inuyasha or any of the other characters in the Anime/Manga.

Chapter 1

It was just another day in Feudal Japan. Killing demons, and hunting Naraku.

Now it is night, and everyone is asleep. In a small clearing in the woods. Sango and Kirara, are snuggled together, Miroku close by, and Kagome and Shippo are snuggled in Kagome's sleeping bag. Inuyasha is sitting in a tree nearby, not sleeping but awake and alert, keeping watch, in the light of the fire that is now close to dead.

Inuyasha sees a few soul collectors, flying by. He can tell they are Kikyo's. He runs after them knowing they are there to take him to Kikyo. What he doesn't know is that Kagome is awake and she sees him run after Kikyo. She knows it will cause her heart-break, if she follows but she knows this is something she has to see. She leaves the clearing, going in the same direction as Inuyasha. She creates a barrier around herself, masking her scent and aura.

She finds Inuyasha and Kikyo in a clearing, not to far from the one they were sleeping in. Inuyasha and Kikyo are just talking so far. "Inuyasha, I see you have followed my soul collectors, once again, you are alone i trust" says Kikyo. "Who else would i bring with me Kikyo" he replies. "I don't know" Kikyo says casually "My copy". Kagome who is now behind a tree, cannot see Inuyasha's face, and therefor did not see the glare Inuyasha tossed at Kikyo. "Kagome, she cannot be your copy, your personalities , they are completely different" he says. " Inuyasha what do you think of Kagome" she sneered. She goes and embraces him for no reason. "Kagome" he says as he embraces her back, he whispers the rest in her ear, so Kagome could not hear. Kikyo's eyes flickered at the tree Kagome is behind, with an anger filled glare. For she sensed Kagome's barrier.

Kagome could not watch anymore, as Kikyo kissed Inuyasha. She ran. Ignoring the pain of the branches cutting her skin, she ran and ran, until she came to a clearing. Where she fell to the ground crying.

Somewhere in the Woods

Sesshomaru is keeping watch over his pack. He smelled his Half-Breed, Half-Brother, nearby, and he smelt that he was with the clay pot. He also smelled a stronger scent, the scent of the Miko with the strange clothes, he scent is mixed with the scent of blood and tears. He didn't know why but he felt the strong urge to go to her and comfort her.

This urge seemed to take over his body. He found himself up and running after the scent of the young Miko. He saw she was in a clearing alone. "Miko" he called in his normal emotionless voice, "Where is the Half-Breed". She heard him because she immediately turned and spoke "S-Sesshomaru

why are you here". "Miko, this Sesshomaru asked where is the Half-Breed", he replied he did not know why but he did not like the idea of his brother anywhere near the young Miko. "Oh you are looking to have a fight with Inuyasha, well he is with Kikyo, you might have to wait, because she is the most important thing to him" she said coldly.

He felt almost resentment towards his brother, he found it was because he hurt the young Miko.

"Miko, you are to come with this Sesshomaru"

With Inuyasha's pack

"Miroku! Sango! Wake up!" yelled Inuyasha "Where is Kagome?!" Sango sat bolt upright at this statement "What do you mean where is Kagome! Isn't she in her sleeping bag!" she near yelled. "Well if she was there do you think I would be asking you" Inuyasha yelled back.
