One Too Many Insults

Prologue

"That's it!" Kagome stormed through the once peaceful forest. She had had it. Not only had she not started the whole thing, but when she was forced to end it after Inuyasha had been knocked into a tree he blamed HER! By once again stating that if she hadn't been such a "clumsy bitch" none of it would have happened in the first place.

What the hell did he mean by that, anyway? Kagome stormed to the well. Birds had taken up flight around the rampaging young woman as she glared back through the trees. 'One of these days,' she thought, 'I'll show you who the clumsy being is. Inconsiderate jackass.' At that moment the cause of her testy mood came skidding into the clearing.

"Kagome!" He yelled, "You are not going home again." Once he caught sight of her and saw that she had not in fact left he plopped down into his famous Inuyasha crouch.

"You dare to tell me what I am or am not going to do? After you just told me to 'stop getting in your way!' How dare you!" Kagome's eye had begun to twitch. This was not a good sign. She advanced on Inuyasha, "If you think for one second that I am going to listen to one more word out of your mouth you are sadly mistaken." Kagome looked as if she was going to burst into flame.

"I...I...um..." Inuyasha trailed off. What the hell was she doing? This was not like the Kagome he knew. He was, of course, used to her getting pissed but she had never gone this long without sitting him for it. Wait. Was he questioning the fact that he hadn't been sat yet? What was wrong with him?

'Damn woman.' He thought crossly. 'If she hadn't tried to save that human child none of this would have happened! Then she just had to slip and fall in the river.' He glanced over at her. Pretending to scowl he quickly looked for any abrasions on her flawless skin. Noticing a small cut on her right arm, his scowl deepened.

"You um what?" The look she was giving him pretty much said, I will set you ablaze if you say one more stupid thing.

"Keh. It's not as if any of it was my fault."

"Well for your information..." At that moment Miroku made his appearance. The demon slayer, her pet, and a young kitsune were close behind him.

"Are we interrupting something?" The lecherous monk asked.

"Kagome!" The little fox demon leapt into Kagome's waiting arms. "You aren't leaving again are you?" He turned his face up and pouted as only children can.

"I have to go home for a little while to catch up in my school work. I'll be back as soon as I can though." Kagome's frown was immediately replaced with a soft smile. Shippou always made her smile. He was so innocent and carefree. Kagome envied him.

"I already told you, you aren't going anywhere except with us to find more shards." Inuyasha had now stood up and was stalking forward to block the well. Before he could get there, Kagome made a leap. Standing on the lip of the well she glared down at Inuyasha.

"Why do you always have to be such a jerk? Can't you let me go home once without an argument?" Kagome was tired and sick of playing his childish games.

"Well if you're just too scared to stay here..." Now he was insulting her courage? What was his problem? "Kikyou was never afraid." Inuyasha mumbled under his breath. That was it. Kagome was now officially pissed off.

"What did you just say?" Kagome glared daggers at him. "I gave you fair warning. I asked nicely. I was even willing to forget about you blaming me for the attack from the water demon. Then you go and say something like that. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

"Don't yell! It hurts my ears." Inuyasha exclaimed as his ears flattened against his head.

"I'll yell whenever I want." Kagome was daring him to challenge this statement. Only one person would be stupid enough to not take the hint. Unfortunately it was the one person to whom the hint was addressed for.

"Not in my time wench." He muttered. Now Kagome is usually a patient person. She usually always forgives people for their mistakes. This time she would make an exception.

"SIT!!!!! Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit!" She screamed. Glowering at the prone form on the ground Kagome jumped through the well leaving a stunned silence in her wake.

"You just had to say it didn't you?" Miroku was looking down at the battered hanyou and shaking his head.

"She didn't have to sit me." Inuyasha pouted. Miroku sighed and walked away. Sango followed behind muttering something about stupid hanyous chasing away her friends.

"You chased Kagome away again." Whined a very upset Shippou. "Bring her back or I'll never tell Kagome what you really think of her."

'Damn!' Shippou had caught him on a technicality. If only he hadn't over heard that conversation. A week ago Inuyasha had been scouting out an area for the group to stop for the night when he ran into Kikyou.

"Hello Inuyasha."
