Okay, I couldn't keep you waiting for long! Here is another chapter, and I'll do my best to make it longer this time!

*** InuYasha***

"Where on earth could she be?" InuYasha thought after 3 hours of Kagome not coming back. "Maybe she really DID go home…I figured she would just sit at the well until she cooled off. I must have made you really mad Kagome." He began to think of any time Koga had come around, trying to take Kagome from him. It made him made at every thought of Koga giving Kagome flowers or taking her hand saying that he would kill Naraku and marry her.

"InuYasha," Shippo cried, breaking InuYasha from him thoughts. "Where is Kagome?!"

"Don't know, don't care." InuYasha said nonchalantly. "Probably just went back home to cry to her mommy and friends." He rolled his eyes as he imagined Kagome going home and telling her friends once again about what a jerk he is.

"Grr…. InuYasha….." Shippo's face started to get red until InuYasha shut him up with another of his famous fists to the head.

"InuYasha," Miroku walked over and Shippo ran the opposite direction to jump on Sango's shoulder. "Do you realize what night it is?"

"Oh yeah… The new moon." Inuyasha hated this night above all others, because he was just regular mortal, unable to defend himself from even the weak demons.

"It is getting late. You should probably get back to Kaede's hut soon." Sango advised as she coddled Shippo.

"At least Kagome is safe tonight while I can't protect her." He thought to himself as he stood up, unaware of how much trouble she was in.

***Kagome***

As Kagome blacked out, she saw a face so similar to one she had hoped she would never see again that she wanted to cry. "That can't be…. Mukotsu… Can it?" (If you remember, Mukotsu was the poison master dude of the Band of Seven. Not pretty…)

But he was different… A bit taller and his face not as… well… Un-human. In fact, it seemed as though he got the more attractive side of the family. But his resemblance still grossed her out.

"Neheheheheh! You are as beautiful as my brother had said to me! Neheheheh!" Unfortunately, that stupid laugh was the last thing she heard before blacking out completely.

-An hour later-

"Dah, I see you've awakened! I can tell you recognize me from somewhere, don't you? Well I am the younger brother of now past Mukotsu. You were going to be his bride before that stupid dog-demon came and took him from you! I know you must still be grieving from your loss; I saw the whole thing! Sesshomaru… I still remember the name… I looked up to my brother! I remember him coming to me just before he took you, telling me that he was to be wed to a beautiful priestess, and that I would be his best man!"

"I… I don't remember… anyone else being… there…" Kagome tried to say, though she was having a lot of trouble with it. She hated remembering that day, almost dying because of some creepy ugly poison freak. And to think, he was going to MARRY her!

"I was a coward… Running late that day… I admit it." He seemed upset with himself. "You see, I was trying to look my best for my big brother's wedding. By the time I got there, there was a demon slayer, a monk, and two small demons. Luckily, he easily hurt two of them with his poison. I was hiding behind a tree watching this all. My brother was so brave! But then that Sesshomaru came and cut him down easily with a swing of his deadly blade! I ran for cover, even though I should have save you, his lovely bride. But some stupid half-demon thing came instead."
"InuYasha…" Kagome said to herself, once again reminded of the reason she was in this situation. A sharp sadness hit her heart as she realized he probably wasn't even looking for her. "He's probably still mad about earlier…" She thought.

"What is your name, even?" Kagome asked her captor, trying to get the sad thoughts out of her head.

"How rude of me! My name is Donsuki!" He said brightly, glad she wanted to know his name. "I should marry her. I'm sure my brother would have wanted someone in the family to carry on his love for her!" He though. "Kagome, marry me!" Donsuki said, grabbing Kagome's arms.

"W… What?!" Kagome exclaimed, glad that even if her body didn't want to move, at least her voice was working.

"I know my brother Mukotsu would have wanted it!" The man said with passion.

"But that doesn't mean I want it! I didn't even love your brother! He forced me to be his bride. I was in the state I am in now, remember? He was creepy and tried to kill me and my friends!" Kagome said, getting worked up.

"B… But… No! My brother loved you as I love you now, and we SHALL be married!" He said before leaning in to kiss her strongly.

Kagome couldn't do anything to protest, as her body still disagreed with the thought of moving. She tried to move her lips away, but this only made Donsuki draw closer.

***InuYasha***

"Alright, that's it! I'm going after her!" InuYasha said angrily.

It was now dark and there was no sign of Kagome. InuYasha hated this because he didn't have any sense of smell to know who was where and if they were okay, especially Kagome.

"InuYasha, she went home for a reason." Sango said plainly. "She doesn't WANT to see you right now!"

As they sat around a fire, InuYasha looked at his hands, which were now that of a human's. "I hate being in this stupid mortal form!" InuYasha thought grumpily to himself.

"She'll be fine. Just give her some time alone. You do that enough already." Sango looked away, obviously still mad that InuYasha hurts her best friend all the time without a second thought.

"Sango, go easy on InuYasha. He is still confused about his feelings, and it's hard to decided when there are so many beautiful women around that he loves." Miroku said, casually stroking Sango's bottom as if it was a perfectly normal thing for anyone to do. This, of course, landed him a one way trip to pain on his right cheek, a bright red hand print left by Sango. He seem satisfied with this; it annoyed Sango that he was basically turned on by the pain of her slaps.

"Speak for yourself, monk." InuYasha said, his face showing obvious disgust.

InuYasha walked outside to get some fresh air. He went to the very tree he had been pinned to by Kikyo. It seemed so different, being in his human form, as though he was looking at someone else's tree and thinking of someone else's story. But he knew that he wanted something more than just bad memories with a woman he loved. He wanted a new and happy story.

"Ha." He thought to himself. "It seems like as more time goes by, my feeling and everything become more human than before."

***Kagome***

As Kagome was being kissed, she felt sick. Not just because of the disgusting lips being placed on hers, not because of the thought of marrying this weirdo, or even because of the gas that wouldn't allow her body to move, but because InuYasha still wasn't there to save her. He wouldn't come this time- she was sure. He chose Kikyo over her. He always had, and he always would.

"You are mine, Kagome." Donsuki told her as he took her hands and…

Hey! I had to leave SOMETHING to write for the next chapter! Keep reading, and I swear I'll have something for ya very soon!
