Chapter One: Undeserved Punishment

"SIT!" THUNK!

"What the hell did I do to you?" InuYasha growled into the ground.

"Baka!" Kagome shouted at him before storming off into the forest leaving the very confused half-demon shaking off the after effects of the spell.

"Get back here wench, I didn't give you permission to leave!" InuYasha shouted at her retreating figure that stopped in its tracks. He immediately regretted saying that as he heard her reaction to his outburst.

"SIT!" she shouted with out turning around and continued deeper into the forest.

'She is definitely beginning to piss me off! What the hell did I do to her?' He thought to himself as his legs began to tingle, the numbness receding. He stood shakily, using his claws to dust off the leaves and dirt of his clothing. He paused to sniff the air. 'Salt! Kuso! He somehow made her cry!' Growling to himself he ran in the direction of her scent.

Ahead of him he saw her sitting on a boulder, hugging her knees sobbing into them. He jumped up to the trees. He was glad he had great hearing and sense of smell;equally happy she didn't otherwise she would be able to smell him. Even though she whispered it he could her say his name.

"InuYasha, I should say sorry to him, he doesn't know that I'm stressed out because of my tests and fighting demons too." She said as she wiped her hands across her eyes.

'Damn' InuYasha silently cursed as guilt clutched his heart for calling her a wench. His hair blew towards Kagome as the wind shifted direction. Once again thanking the gods she wouldn't be able to smell him. He inwardly sighed in relief. He mentally shrunk against the smooth tree trunk as she stood and looked around, stiff with anger. His eyes grew wide 'there is no way in hell she could've smelt me!' his ears flattened to his head as he saw her turn towards him and saw her mouth open.

"SIT! SIT! SIT!" she screamed in anger. InuYasha heard the thick branch snap under the force of the spell and fell to the ground hard creating a large crater with him under the heavy branch. 'She was to far to see, smell or hear me, so how did she know I was there?' he thought to himself as he heard he running towards him.

"InuYasha?" She said as she looked over the edge of the crater she created.

"What!" He snapped at her. He cringed the moment it left his mouth. His ears flattened against his skull.

"Are you okay?" She said as she slid down the incline to him. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you," she said as tears began welling in her soft brown eyes.

"Yes" InuYasha grunted as he rolled out from underneath the branch. He stood up and dusted himself off glaring at her.

"Sorry, I….I just got to much to handle, with tests and everything. Plus my 18th birthday is in a couple of days and I really want to see my family, Please InuYasha? Will you let me go home for a week?" Her pleading eyes melted his heart and he nodded his agreement.

"Feh! Just a couple of days and I'll check on you. Till then I won't hold you back." He crossed his arms closing his eyes and sticking his nose up. Kagome tackled him and she cried into his shoulder.

"Thank you InuYasha. I'll bring you back your favorite Ramen, K?"

"Keh! Whatever" He said a small smile playing on his face. He was glad she couldn't see it. She pushed herself off him and blushed.

"I guess I should go back to Kaede's hut and pack my stuff up." She said getting up and attempting to scale the wall of the crater. InuYasha smirked and grabbed her by the waist and jumped out of it.

"How did you know I was in that tree?" He asked her as he set her down.

"I smelt you, the pine and wet dirt that you smell like. Why?" She asked him.

He shrugged and said, "I was quiet and didn't make a noise that's all."

"Okay" She said arching a delicate eyebrow at him.

"Oh now you don't believe Me." he growled at her softly so she couldn't hear him.

"Sit boy," she said softly walking off leaving InuYasha to wonder how she heard that.
