@I don't own these chars, yada yada, excuse anything that offends and hope you like it.@
Kagome sighed. What was she to do?
They had fought again. Would it ever end? Or, was she doomed to be torn like this forever? One moment, he's holding her, and they are about to kiss, and what does he say?
"I love you Kikyou." Kikyou? Kikyou?! Why, after making that mistake, he deserved to die or something horrible. He deserved to feel that anguish as he is torn from feeling a part of love to feeling like some… replacement. Well, he would pay, in a very special way, she decided, smirking. She knew exactly how.

Inuyasha jumped into the well furious. Ok, so he had made one slip of the tongue, but to slam him on the ground like that? It was her fault she looked so much like Kikyou. He couldn't help that she had to go and get all upset, and he'd even apologized. Well, this was the end of his giving into her way. Now, she was going to help him get the shards, whether she wanted to or not. She didn't have any of those exam things for a month. She was on his time, and she would know it.
The plan was forming before he knew it. He decided to make it up to her after he made her pay, and he knew just the place. It was a beautiful pool with a jewel studded bottom, and reflective rock all around it made it glitter beautifully at sunset. When she'd apologized, he'd take her there. And before hand, he'd polish the stone.

As she heard Inuyasha coming, she put on the last few touches. It started with just a nice dress, a little make up. Now she was all out, jewelry and everything. She had rouge on her cheeks, mascara on her eyelashes, and everything between was perfect with makeup. It was a "no smell" kind too, so its scent would be less noticeable to him. She had also taken care to do her hair in beautiful ringlets, which she coated with gold. Inuyasha would never know what hit him.
When he climbed up the side of the well, Kagome put on her best smile, and watched with great joy as his expression altered from anger to surprise. Then he missed his hand hold and fell back into the well.

Inuyasha climbed up the side of the well, still angry at Kagome for making him come to her. When he reached the top, he found Kagome… But not Kagome, Kagome beautifully done up in a dress and make-up he could only faintly smell. He lost his grip.
At the bottom, he managed to come up with a suitable set of remarks; even so, he knew he'd lost before he even began.
"I hope you brought something else to wear, because I can't see how you could possible ride your contraption dressed like that." Inuyasha was fairly confident he'd at least dent her pride this time.
"Oh, hadn't you noticed? It's a miniskirt, I can move about fine." Kagome's eyes betrayed no hint of what she was thinking, and so many other subtle smells coated her so she was completely and elusively unreadable.
"And you plan to let Miroku near you while wearing that?" His rebuttal was swift, and he grinned inwardly as she squinted.
"Why would you care, perhaps Miroku and I get on better than you and I." At this Inuyasha had no choice, it was act now or let her know she'd won, but as he leapt forward to grab her and take her through the well, she stepped aside, letting him roll out the shrine door while she hopped down. Cursing his luck, Inuyasha scrambled back up to leap through after her.

On the other side Kagome was very quick to hurry towards the wolf tribe's area. She knew the wolves would slow Inuyasha down while she set herself up with Kouga. So far, everything was perfect.
When she reached the wolf domain, however, things were far from perfect. For one, a wolf-youkai that didn't recognize her just grabbed her as she was running toward Kouga's personal cave. Now she was lost in some side caves she had gone down while trying to escape. Usually all visits here were quickly curtailed by Inuyasha, but now she began to wonder what would happen if she were here for longer, with or without Kouga and the dubious protection he offered. Were she with Kouga, would he advance on her, force her to… No, she would not think about that, she would just hope that things could be set straight…
Turning right, she found herself at last somewhere she recognized, unfortunately, it was not where she wanted to be. It was the communal battle room, where any human was considered a prize to be chosen based on how entertaining the fight was. And the current fight was receiving plenty of enthusiasm…
"Ah, here we are, the only one in the lot worthy of such a fight!" An old wolf grabbed her roughly and placed her on the edge of the ring. Oh dear… Kagome couldn't watch the fight, she had doomed herself. As the fight ended, however, things began to look up.
"Kagome! What are you doing here?" Kouga had apparently been one of the combatants, and to judge by the look on his face, the winner.

Inuyasha was very worried. Kagome had been in a strange humor when he found her at the bone-eater's well, but to head straight into wolf territory? She wouldn't. If that… that… bastard Kouga had anything to do with this, Inuyasha vowed he'd bash his face in. That is, after rescuing Kagome, but before he won her heart.
Following the trail she'd left was a bit hard, she kept throwing bits of jewelry off in odd directions, and they lead him off the path. Then, he was sure that Kouga had something to do with Kagome's behavior or disappearance because every single guard had to contest with him. Battle may be part sport among the wolves, but really, did they have to take all day about it? Inuyasha batted off challengers like flies and still they managed to slow him. What if Kagome didn't come by force? What if she had finally given up on him? He wouldn't let her, break his heart though it might, he knew the wolf meant worse, and should she turn to Kouga he would lock her in her time, forever if need be.
Inuyasha wondered if he'd live to see her naturally in her own time.

@So it starts, but only I know what will happen… actually, to be honest I feel more like I'm watching it and I have to wait myself to write and see what happens…@
