DISCLAIMER! I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA!

Kagome's POV

I sighed, Inuyasha would be coming for me soon. "Are you headed back sis?" Asked my lil brother Sota. I smiled at him and hugged him. "Let go!" he whined and i laughed. "Ya Inuyasha will be coming for me." i told him as i started to pack my bright yellow bag with ramen, chips, candy and some bento's my mother had given me. Sota made is way over to buyo and started to pet him. "Kagome!" My grandpa called me and i turned around to see him waving some type of charm at me and i shook my head. "Sorry grandpa i have to hurry and be ready to go before Inuyasha gets here." i said to him as he walked towards me. Stopping right next to me he held the charm out to me. "Kagome you must take this charm with you it will protect you. It can-" I tuned him out and continued packing my bag, glancing over at my textbooks and picking them up. I hope they will fit. I put as many as i could in the bag and then slung it over my shoulder like i had seen Inuyasha do many times before and i nearly fell. "Ugh this is impossible!" i snapped as i dropped the bag on the floor and went upstairs slamming my door shut. All i'm ever going to do is slow them down... maybe i should just tell Inuyasha to go find Kikyo she can sense the shards of the shikon jewel he doesn't need me... as soon as i finished that thought my window flew open and there stood the hanyou. "You ready?" he asked as he jumped in my window. "Inuyasha... i think that you" i stopped and looked down at my feet. "I should what?" he demanded getting irritated. "Nevermind." I shook my head and then left my room.

"What is it Kagome?" I tried to ignore him but he kept going. "Sit!" i yelled at him and grabbed my bag, leaving my house and heading towards the Shinto shrine. I pulled open the doors, shutting them behind me i walked down the stairs and then climbed into the well and dropped down becoming surrounded by the familar blue light and knowing i would see my friends soon, i smiled. Landing on my feet, i looked up the bone eaters well and climbed out, i was met with a cool breeze. Kaede's village wasn't to far ahead and i knew that's where the other's would be. I wasn't surprised when Inuyasha jumped infront of me and demanded to know why i used that spell on him again. "You were bothering me." i told him truthfully. He glared at me, and i smiled. "Whats wrong Yasha? you don't like that a miko put you in your place." i teased and then took off running cause he reached for me. He grabbed me around the waist and pulled me against him. "Inuyasha! Let go!" I laughed but stopped when i felt him stiffen. "Koga's coming." He told me and i sighed as i tried to move away from him but i couldn't get free. I looked up at him to ask him to let me go but Koga showed up and grabbed my chin making me look at him. "Kagome, has mutt-face been taking care of you?" he asked as he took my hands in his. "Stupid move wolf" Inuyasha growled and tried to attack him. Just then Koga noticed that Inuyasha's arm was around my waist. "Mutt why do you have ahold of my woman!" Koga snapped at him. "She's not your woman!" he snapped back. "Please don't fight." I begged knowing that it was coming if i didn't do something, but they kept argueing. "Sit." i said and Inuyasha was slammed to the ground...unfortunately so was i.

"That hurts." i muttered and Inuyasha mummbled something i couldn't quite understand. "Kagome are you alright!" Koga said pulled me free and hugging me, i didn't return the hug. "I'm fine Koga" i told him and then placed my hands against his chest and pushed him away from me. I knew that i wouldn't be able to do that by myself and i was glad when he got the message and let go of me. Inuyasha stood up and unsheathed Tetsusaiga, seeing that this was going to become a serious fight i stepped between the men holding my hands out towards them. "Please don't fight!" i repeated. "See ya later Kagome!" Koga called as he ran off and i sighed with relief. It didn't take us long to get back to Kaede's village and we found the other's leaning against on of the fence's talking. "Sango! Miroku! Shippo!" I called to them waving. "Kagome's back!" Shippo yelled as he ran and jumped into my arms, i hugged him. "Guess what i brought you Shippo." i said smiling as i let my bag drop to the ground and i pulled out his favorite candy. "Thank you Kagome" he said taking the bag and jumping out of my arms. "Your welcome Shippo" i said as i closed my bag and then put in back on. Phew, this thing keeps getting heavier i thought Inuyasha jumped into one of the trees and i walked up to Sango. "How's you family doing?" She asked me as she slapped Miroku's hand away. I laughed and said. "Their fine, they want me to visit again real soon." i told her and we all heard Inuyasha jump out of the tree.

"You better not be thinking about leaving again after you just got back!" he snapped at me and i looked into his eyes and noticed he wasn't happy about that which for some reason just made me think that he liked having me here but i knew it was just that he needed someone to sense the shikon jewel shards. I turned away from him and walked into Kaede's hut. "What ails ye Kagome?" she asked and i sat my bag in the corner. "Nothing Kaede, do you mind if i go take a bath?" i tried to avoid her question not really wanting to talk about it. She nodded and looked back at her pot that she must have been cooking something in. "Be back in a little while." i called as i left the hut. It didn't take me long to get to the river that was just outside the village. I stripped and hung my clothes on a nearby tree branch and then stepped into the cold water to fast, it made me shriek and yank my foot out of the water. I looked around hopeing that nobody heard that when i saw nobody i steped back into the water and dived in.

Inuyasha's POV

Why does she have to sit me ever chance she gets! Atleast it back fired on her this time and she knows how bad it hurts! Stupid miko! Why is she always so mad at me! I was mad, Kagome always did this and i didn't understand. I jumped up into the tree again and looked around before jumping to the highest branch. I swear if she's not with Kaede she's in for it. I thought as i looked around for her, when i caught her scent coming from the river i jumped down and ran off in that direction, i could hear the other's behind me wondering where i was going but it was none of their business, so i let the idiots wonder. Once i got there i noticed she wasn't sitting by the river like i thought she would be instead her clothes were hanging from a tree branch. Crap she's taking a bath, if she catches me here i'm dead. I thought as she came up from under the water, panicking i quickly jumped into a tree and hid.

Kagome's POV

I had been hopeing that the cold water would distract me from Inuyasha but it hadn't... I wonder what he's doing right now... i thought as i leaned against the rocks, staring up at the blue sky. Something caught my eye and i froze realizing what it was, The robe of the fire rat. He better not be listening to Miroku! I thought as i made it to where only my head was sticking out of the water. "Inu-" I was about to call his name but i stopped myself... what if it wasn't Inuyasha but another demon? like sesshomaru or something worse. As queitly as i could i got out of the water and made my way to my clothes, putting on my bra, panties, and skirt before whoever it was in the tree moved. I was scared... i hid behind the tree and held my breath. Please let it be Inuyasha and not some other demon! Before i could run off to Kaede, something was behind me. Quickly turning around i screamed not reconizing who it was till i had already embarassed myself. "Inuyasha you scared me." I told him as i reached for my shirt that was hanging on the tree branch. "Stupid girl." he said and i quickly put my shirt on. "Whats wrong?" i asked, he shouldn't be mad right now right? Waiting for him to answer i looked around and saw a few of the villagers returning home. "It's not important, come on." he said as he roughly grabbed my hand and pulled me with him. "Your hurting me!" i whined but he just ignored me and didn't let go till we were outside Kaede's hut. "Kagome!" Shippo called before he jumped into my arms. I smiled at him and turned around so i could see Inuyasha. "I don't know whats bothering you but if it's something i did i'm sorry. As for me saying the word that slams you into the ground all the time i didn't realize it hurt as much as it does and i promise to only use it when i don't see any other option." I said smiling up at him. He seem to be shocked and he had every right to be. I had used it on him so many times since we first met. I had become use to saying every time he made me mad or did something wrong so this was going to be weird for both of us. After a minute or two he recovered and apparently decided to drop the conversation and told me we would be leaving the village in the morning to search for Naraku, i nodded knowing that we would be leaving some time tomorrow.

We have been away from Kaede's village for awhile now and come across nothing. Inuyasha was human at the moment and was as jumpy as ever, every sound he heard made him react like something bad was going to happen which of course had me worrying about him. "Inuyasha it will be over soon, it's almost morning." i told him as i sat beside him, watching as he seemed to relax. To make him feel better i kept ahold of my bow and arrows, that seemed to help a little. "Kagome you should get some sleep." he told me and i laughed and said as i touched the tip of his nose. "Yes i should but so should you." he swatted my hand away and glared at me which only made me laugh louder. "Kagome?" Shippo called my name and i looked over to see him rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, i had accidently woke him up, moving over the few feet that was between us i laid him back down. "I'm sorry Shippo i didn't mean to wake you, why don't you go back to sleep?" i said in a soothing tone as i tucked him in again and gave him a kiss on the cheek, it didn't take long for my little kitsune to fall asleep. When he was sound i moved back to the panicking hanyou.
