Pictures Of The New Moon Chapter Two"Silver Box"

Kagome stopped in the middle of the dark hallway, and looked back. She felt like she was being watched with more then two pair of eyes. It'd been four weeks already, and all the servants hated her. She ran into something hard. Kagome looked up to see Inuyasha.

"Gah!Why are you stalking me?!"yelled Kagome.

Inuyasha crossed his arms, and snorted, "I ain't no stalker!"

"Oh really?"smiled Kagome. "It's been over a month now, and I haven't had one day to myself with out you bothering me."

Inuyasha grunted, "Keh!"

Kagome pushed past him, and began to walk past him. She tried not to remember what Sango had told you.

"Hey where are you going?"asked Inuyasha.

Kagome sighed, "I'm going to ask, Sesshomaru if he'll let me goo to my village.Only for tonight."

She knocked on his room door, and it immediately opened. There in front of her stood Sesshomaru. His eyes softened at the sight of her. Kagome shivered, and asked,

"I was just wondering, Lord Sesshomaru, if I could return to my village to vist?"asked Kagome.

Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha's glaring eyes, and at Kagome, then sighed, "Fine."

"Oh, thank you!"squealed Kagome hugging Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru looked down at her wide eyed. Inuyasha growled and crossed her arms,

"Keh, whatever."

Sesshomaru pulled Kagome off of him.

Kagome smiled, "Thanks again.Bye."

She made her way toward the door.

"What are you up to, little brother?"asked Sesshomaru with cold eyes.

Inuyasha growled, "What does it look like I'm doing!I'm courting her, Sesshomaru.So keep your eyes some other person."

"Hmph."grunted Sesshomaru. "Like she'd want to be with a half breed like you.You're already betrothed to Kikyo."

Inuyasha growled, "I did not say I wanted to be betrothed to that wench!Just because we dated when we were teenagers, she thinks I want her now.I told her we were over, and she refused to listen."

"You're a disgrace to this family."growled Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha hissed, "I don't care what you say, Sesshomaru.I'm still making her mine.One more month to go."

"She avoided you this whole month.What makes you think she wants to go threw it another month.She probably doesn't even know you're doing this."snarled Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha snorted, "Keh.Whatever...then I'll tell her.I'm leaving."

He walked out the doors of the castle to see Kagome far from the castle now. Inuyasha set off running. He caught up with her.

"What is it with you!?"yelled Kagome stopping, and glaring up at him.

Inuyasha yelled, "Why you always yelling at me!?"

"Every time I ask you, you either ignore me, or change the subject!"yelled back Kagome.

Inuyasha snorted, "Keh!"

"Yeah!That too!"yelled Kagome turning and stomping down the path.

Inuyasha grabbed her arm, "Wait."

"What?"asked Kagome getting really irritated.

Inuyasha sighed, "This is hard to say considering I only knew you for a month."

"I already know you're courting me, Inuyasha"whispered Kagome beginning to blush.

Inuyasha asked, "How?"

"The first day I was at the castle...it was kind of obvious."explained Kagome looking at the ground.

Inuyasha rubbed the back of his head, "Oh right, sorry about that."

"I'm not ready."sighed Kagome.

Inuyasha whispered, "I'm going to wait another month."

"Uh...thanks you.I think."smiled Kagome. "Let's go."

Inuyasha nodded, "Right."

Village Sayunga

Kagome was glad Inuyasha wasn't dressed in fancy clothing. He never wore anything...fancy. She got weird looks from most of the villagers. Kagome picked up her pace, and walked inside a hut. Immediately, she was pulled into a death hug.

"You came to vist!"squealed Alicia.

Kagome nodded, "Where's Kihara?"

"He had to go see Naraku.There's going to be hell here.Naraku's changing everything."sighed Alicia.

Kagome asked, "Why all the sudden he-

"Whose this?"asked Alicia.

Kagome turned around to see a bored faced Inuyasha, "This is Inuyasha."

"Oh, as in 'Master' Inuyasha?"asked Alicia shaking her head in a mocking way.

Inuyasha glared a Alicia. She obviously did not like him. This caused a problem to Kagome.

Kagome smiled, "He isn't like his brother, Alicia."

"I don't care.We've sent, and sent messages for help down here, and they denied everyone of them!"yelled Alicia glaring at him.

Inuyasha hissed, "My brother denied them.Not me!I'm not in control, so I have nothing to do with it."

"Oh."whispered Alicia.

Stomped in Kihara. His face was glazed red, and he was steaming hot with anger.

Kihara snarled, "I swear I'll kill that bastard!"

"Kihara!What happened?"asked Kagome.

Kihara froze, "Kagome!What are you doing back here!You can't be here it's dangerous!"

"Why not?"asked Kagome crossing her arms.

Kihara sighed, "If you come back, Naraku has the right to force you to marry him."

"Keh!"snorted Inuyasha. "Not while I'm here."

Kihara asked, "Master Inuyasha?Why are you here?"

"You know him?"asked Kagome.

Kihara laughed, "The last time I seen him was when he was 8."

"Okay, I'm offically freaked out."murmured Alicia.

Inuyasha sighed, "Fine, Kiha'.Though, Sesshomaru's a pain in the a-

"Yeah, yeah!Anyway, what is Naraku doing, Kihara?"asked Kagome glaring at Inuyasha for a second.

Kihara sighed, "He's taking over the wolf territories."

"He can't do that!If he does that the wolves will choose this village as a new home!"yelled Kagome completely pissed.

Alicia squeaked, "We have to leave father!"

"Calm down, Alicia.Most of the villagers have already take leave."explained Kihara.

Kagome asked, "Move to the mountains, Kihara."

"We can't leave, Ikina."whimpered Alicia.

Kagome's face saddened a bit. Inuyasha was about to confront her, but the sky popped angerly.

Kihara packed his bag, "We're leaving now.Kaede has left for the mountains.We'll go there.Hurry, Alicia."

"Right."nodded Alicia packing her stuff.

Kagome clenched her fist, "This is not right."

"Kagome...we need to go."grunted Inuyasha beginning to growl.

Kagome asked, "Why!?"

"They're coming that's why!"he shouted back.

He made her get onto his back. They all set off to their destination.

Not Long Later

Kihara called, "We hope yo see you later, Kagome!Inuyasha!We must separate now.Goodbye!"

"Bye, Kagome!"called Alicia from the muddy trails.

Kihara grabbed her wrist, and picked up pace. Kagome slid from Inuyasha's back. She look back down the trail to her home village. She knew the wolves were there. Kagome gasped, when she saw two hazel eyes staring at her from behind a tree.

His eyes were luring, and wanting.

Inuyasha called, "Kagome!You're gonna get sick!"

She stared back at the person. He smirked at her, and mouthed something to her. Someone grabbed her arm, and swung her around.

"Can you not hear!"yelled Inuyasha shaking her a bit.

Kagome whispered, "Sorry."

"Let's go."he took her hand, and walked toward the castle.

Kagome looked back. The person glared, then turned and left. Inuyasha jerked her a bit. She squeaked,

"Hey!"

Inuyasha called, "Stop dawdling!"

Kagome was really getting tired of his attitude. She snatched her hand from his, and ran the rest of the way to the castle. Leaving Inuyasha to fume.

Back At The Castle; Sunset

Kagome took off her clicking shoes, and walked barefoot against the cold stone floor. She finally made it to her room. She was dripping from head to toe. When she walked in, she let out a high pitch sneeze.

"Kagome!You're back."sighed Sango of relief. "You better take a bath before you get sick."

Kagome nodded with a stuffy nose, "Right."

She walked toward the stairs until her vision became blurry, and she passed out.

"Kagome!"yelled Sango running toward her as she hit the floor.

Her breathing was ragged.

Sango grabbed her arm, and pulled her up. "Just great.Great way of watching her, Inuyasha."

Next Day; Dawn

Kagome watched as her father was being slaughter. In hazy part of the dream, was her mother mating with Kihara. Anger rose in her. Her father fell, dead, to the ground.

"No!Dad!Please, don't die!Mom!Look!That man is killing, Daddy!Mom!"sobbed Kagome falling to her knees.

A deep husky voice came from behind, "What's wrong you brat?"

"Shut up, Naraku!"yelled Kagome up at the 12 year old boy.

He grabbed at her ear, and laughed. Kagome sobbed more. She slapped him in the face, and glared up at him. He punched her, and got on top of her.

Kagome screamed, "No, Naraku!NO!"

Her own voice echoed. A voice began to come from nowhere:

"Kagome!Wake up!She's burning up!Damn it!Ka-

End Dream

Before Sango could finish, she was slapped right in the face. She fell back onto the floor. Kagome opened her eyes slowly, and lowered her hand. Kagome touched her cheek. Tears fell.

Kagome's vision was blurry. There was more than one person in the room. Kagome turned on her side, and closed her eyes tight.

"No you don't, wake up, Kagome."came Inuyasha's voice sitting her up.

Kagome looked down at Sango, and gasped. "Sango!I'm so- hoarse cough

"It's alright, Kagome.It's weird how you got sick so quickly.Have you been eating, Kagome?"asked Sango taking Miroku's offering hand.

Kagome looked down at her hand, "No."

"Why not!?"asked Sango bewildered.

Kagome sighed, "I just haven't been hungry."

"Well, you know what.You're gonna eat a full course meal today, and until you decide to eat, you're staying in my room."ordered Inuyasha.

Kagome squeaked in a faint voice, "What!?You're kidding me right!?"

"Now, Inuyasha-

Sango hit Miroku on the head, "Shut up you pervert!"

"Ow!Don't be so rash, Sango."winced Miroku when she rose her fist again.

Kagome began to cough again, which stopped her from continuing.

Sango sighed, "I agree with Inuyasha."

"I'm not agreeing."pouted Kagome.

Inuyasha smirked, "Well, you should've been eating."

He picked her up bridal style. Miroku smirk,

"Why in such a rush, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha glared at Miroku with threatening eyes. Sango pounded him on the head once again.

Miroku moaned in pain, "Ow, ow!Sango!"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, and left the room. Kagome had her arms crossed, and head looking away. He sighed heavily as they entered his room. Surprisingly, his room was the basement. Far from all the servants, nobles, and his brothers room.

It was the same size as her, and Sango's room. He laid her on his king sized bed. Inuyasha walked to his closet, and got a woolen quilt.

"Are you crazy!I'll burn up!"yelled Kagome with once, again, faint voice.

Inuyasha snorted, "Yeah, don't you think I know that.It's the whole point.Stop talking before you lose you voice."

"You don't tell me what to do!"glared Kagome.

Inuyasha dropped the cover on the bed, "Damn it, Kagome!Why do you hate me so much?"

She saw the hurt in his amber eyes.

"I'm sorry, Inuyasha."sighed Kagome looking him in the eye.

Inuyasha shrugged, "Whatever, doesn't matter."

"I don't hate you, Inuyasha.I'm taking my frustration out on you.I don't mean too."whispered Kagome looking away feeling guilty.

Inuyasha sighed, "I said forget it."

Kagome sighed, and laid back. He put the cover over her.

"Uh, thanks."smiled Kagome as sweet as she could.

She turned on her side, and relaxed. Sleep beginning to take over. She felt someone kiss her on the cheek. Kagome's face went red as he whispered in her ear,

"I'll be back in a hour with some food."

Kagome nodded, not trusting her voice. he left the room. She opened her eyes, and sighed of relief.

"What's the matter with me.He only kissed me on the cheek.I don't like him...do I?"

A voice argued with her, "Of course you like him, not like him love him."

Kagome glared at the pillow. She shook off the upcoming shivers. Kagome closed her eyes, and shook all thoughts away. She let sleep take over her sick form. Only this time...have a very strange dream.
