Hello! This is my first chapter of my first fan fiction, so no flames please. But, if you feel the absolute need to flame me, at least have a reason to do so. Thanks!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and co. They belong to the genius Rumiko Takahashi. I do own a few of the characters in this story though, and please do not use them without permission. :)

Chapter 1: Where's Inuyasha?

This part is with Kagome:

Kagome slowly woke up and is very surprised to find the sun almost directly above her. She drowsily thinks to herself, 'Why didn't anyone wake me up? Inuyasha usually will scream at me if I am not up by the time he is.' Kagome slowly cracks her eyes open to find Sango, Miroku and Shippou eating breakfast around a fire. Sango looks over to find Kagome awake and says, "Good morning, Sleepyhead!"

"Sango..," Kagome quietly said. "Where has Inuyasha gone?"

Sango cast a nervous glance over at the other two surrounding the fire. "Umm, well Kagome, you see, late last night Inuyasha caught Kikyou's scent on the wind...soo he woke up Kirara and I to tell us that he was going to find Kikyou, and that we shouldn't go after him..." Shippou quickly scampered to hide behind Sango and Miroku for protection, expecting Kagome to flip out.

Kagome looked at their faces, knowing they expected her to be really upset. Of course she was, but she wasn't going to make them suffer because of her bad temper. "Oh... thanks for telling me," Kagome stated with a forced smile on her face. "So Sango, can I have some breakfast?"

Sango smiled, glad that Kagome wasn't upset. "Of course you can, Kagome!"

Now, to Inuyasha and Sango:

(A/N: This is in the night, when Inuyasha first caught Kikyou's scent.)

Inuyasha was fast asleep, until he smelled something unusual. He woke up a little bit until he was wide awake.

It couldn't be.

"Kikyou," Inuyasha quietly whispered to himself. He gently shook Kirara awake, just in case he ran into a lot of trouble...like maybe 200 strong demons? "Come on Kirara, we're going for a little trip. Sango. SANGO! Listen, I'm going to find Kikyou. Don't follow me. I'll be back by tomorrow, the day after that at the latest."

Sango rubbed her eyes as she tried to comprehend what he said. She suddenly realized what he had just told her and softly yelled, "Inuyasha!! Kagome is going to kill you!!"

Inuyasha thought about this for a moment and said, "Okay, I know. I'm sorry. Try to break it to her softly, but I'm definitely going to come back, even if it is just to say good- bye and see her one last time."

Almost panicking at what Kagome would think or do if she told her that she was about to scream something to Inuyasha but he was already gone with Kirara. "BAKA!!!" Sango screamed. She quickly glanced back, hoping that she had not woken anyone up with her yelling.

To Kikyou and Inuyasha now:

(A/N This is just after Inuyasha left with Kirara.)

'Why would Kikyou just suddenly show up now? Did she mean for me to catch her scent? Could this mean that Naraku is here too, but he disguised his scent?' These were the questions that ran through Inuyasha's head as he and Kirara made their way over to Kikyou. Immediately when he saw Kikyou he also noticed she had put up a barrier. "Kikyou...please let me in?" he whispered.

Kikyou glanced over to him and asked, "Why? I have no reason to let you in."

"Please, Kikyou! If you are wounded I will protect you from anything that would want to harm you!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"I have no need for your protection," she stated.

"Please Kikyou? At least let me in so we can talk?"

"You can talk just fine outside of my barrier."

"Why won't you let me in?"

"That is my business, and not yours."

"Fine, Kikyou. I guess I will talk to you from out here," he stated finally giving in.

"If that is what you want, I will do nothing to stop you," she said.

"That's good," Inuyasha said with relief, glad she would at least allow him to stay and talk with her.

"Actually, Inuyasha," Kikyou said hesitantly, "I have something I would like you to do.."

This is the end of chapter one!

So what did you think? I really need some criticism and suggestions, because I have almost no ideas for Chapter Two. Sure I have a very general idea, but that's all.. Thank you so much for everyone who read this:) It is very much appreciated. I think this is a little short, I'll do my best to make the following chapters longer, but this is my first fan fiction. Maybe you could go a little easy on me? By the way.. for anyone who doesn't know "Baka" means idiot in Japanese. So, please review? I will be very thankful even if I get only one review. Thanks for reading this...!
