Chapter 1"INUYASHA, you get back here right now!" Kagome yelled after InuYasha. InuYasha appeared from out of a tree, running from Kagome. InuYasha yelled back to her, "Not likely wench!" InuYasha's face turned very pale as he flew through the air. 'Ah, shit. Me and my big mouth.' He thought to him self. Kagome suddenly stopped with a very annoyed look on her face. Then from a distance InuYasha could hear her faint words. "SIT BOY!" "AAAHHH!!!" InuYasha plunged to the ground. Kagome came running up to him. InuYasha said weakly, "You stupid bi…", but he was cut off by Kagome. "Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit!" InuYasha moaned in to the ground. Kagome leaned down to him and tapped him on the back and said, " tag, you're it" and ran off very quickly laughing.
Later that night
InuYasha sat in his corner of Kaede's hut rubbing is neck and wining to himself. "What is your trouble InuYasha?" Miroku asked. "Oh it's nothing. InuYashas just mad because I tagged him." Kagome explained. Everyone in the hut sat in shock. Miroku snapped out of it and asked with a stutter, "You… you mean, you and InuYasha… did it?" "NO!" InuYasha and Kagome yelled in unison. Both looked at each other and blushed a deep read, but InuYasha quickly turned away and crossed his arms across his chest. InuYasha said calmly, "It's a game called "tag", well at least that's what Kagome calls it." "Yeah, it's just a game. See, one person is the tagger and they chase the other people to make them become the tagger basically." Kagome explained briefly. "That sounds ver interesting." Sango said unsurely. "Sounds wonderful to me!" Shippo said excitedly. Kaede said, "most interesting child." "Thanks" Kagome said, 'I think'. "Well I'm going to go outside now and think a while," Kagome said while moving slowly out the door.
Kagome walked into the forest toward the Bone Eaters well. She sat down on the ground and leaned her back against the well siding. Kagome sighed and thought, 'Maybe I was a little harsh on InuYasha. It was only a game after all, but he called me that name and I couldn't help myself. Maybe I should apologize. Ahhh… I don't know what to do.' "Kagome?" Kagome looked up and saw InuYasha standing in front of her. "Are you alright?" InuYasha asked with concern. "Y-yeah, why do you ask?", she suspiciously asked InuYasha. He looked at her with a little wrinkle between his golden eyes, confused. "No, no reason. Why do you ask?" he requested sarcastically. Kagome scowled and turned away and said in an annoyed voice, "never mind." She took a deep breath and rotated back toward the confused half demon. "I'm sorry InuYasha." "What? What for?" asked InuYasha. "For saying the 'S' word… so many times… in a row." Kagome explained. InuYasha backed away in amazement. " Did I hear you right?" "Yes, I said I'm sorry and it was wrong of me." The young dog demon sat a bit closer to the teenage schoolgirl. InuYasha said with his head down, "I'm sorry too Kagome." Kagome stared at his white hair waiting for him to lift his head and make some sort of eye contact. He rose his head a little and gave Kagome the softest smile. "Do you really mean it?" Kagome asked. "Yeah, I shouldn't have said those things to you." Kagome couldn't believe what she was hearing, especially from InuYasha. "Owww", Inuyasha grabbed at his shoulder. "InuYasha…?" The boy looked at the girl in wonder. Kagome rose up onto her knees and handled both sides of the prayer beads around InuYasha's neck and pulled them upward away from him. Shock spread across his face as he watched the raven-haired woman remove his "collar". She sat back down and sat the necklace upon her lap. There was nothing but silence in the air. "Kagome, what are you doing?" He asked with a somewhat roar. Kagome held out the beads and said, "put them on me." "What?!" "Please, put it around my neck." She said again. InuYasha didn't know what to do except take the beads and set them upon Kagome's shoulders. Kagome took in a deep breath and spoke. "Ok…, say something. Say a command." "Um…Kagome?" "Please, just do it." She said. InuYasha sat pondering. An idea came to mind, but he wasn't sure if it would work. "Well…" Kagome said impatiently. "Um… well, I don't want to hurt you so…speak." Burst InuYasha.
