------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shippo snuggled closer to Kagome's chest for warmth and comfort. Kagome smiled know ling and held him just a little tighter. She looked up onto Inuyasha and put on a thoughtful look, which of course was common among the eleven clans.

Kagome was walking alone in the forest and sat near the outskirts of her city. She sat down at a pond, and lightly played with the water. The full moon brightly reflected the water at her face. Her stormy blue gray eyes danced with joy.

Inuyasha walked on even farther and looked slightly behind him at Kagome. She looked so thoughtful just like last night….

Inuyasha grumbled while sniffing the air for any scent of the young miko elf. Why was it that he always had to go and look for things?

"Because Inuyasha, you're a half demon and you can sniff at her scent and find her quicker then all of us put together could." Miroku had said. Damn monk.

He just decided that he would jump on tree branches to find her quicker. Ah ha! He got a whiff of her scent. She was good at hiding her scent but sadly she must have forgot to hide the rest when she got to her hiding place.

A small pond with the full moon reflected at him. He was puzzled. Why on earth would Kagome be here? A waterfall was slowly gracing the rocks with its crushing force. Then he saw Kagome. She was wearing different clothes then from before. A sort of tight black tank top with blue flames at the bottom was her shirt. Then after that a miniskirt black with red flames at the bottom flowed around her thighs.

Sango yawned and looked at the cloudy sky. Thunder rumbled across the skies.

"Looks like the Gods are angry today." Sango nodded to Miroku's comment and nearly fell asleep.

"Sango?"

"Hmmm?"

"Are you alright?"

Sango yawned before she could say anything in return. "Yes, Miroku, I'm fine."

"Sango…. go to sleep. I'll watch over them."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive. Go to sleep. You need it." Sango nodded and with that fell asleep on Kirara's back.

Miroku looked at her peaceful face and sighed.

"What is taking Inuyasha so long? It shouldn't take him this long… After all he is a half demon." Sango asked.

"I don't know." Miroku responded thoughtfully back. He sat down next to the floor holding his staff and had his eyes closed. Sango sat near the doorway looking out every now and then. Lastly she looked at the moon for a while before she sighed and sat across from Miroku.

Kaede chuckled and smiled at them. "Kagome obviously hid her scent from any prying demons. She tends to do that a lot. Most of the time she doesn't even know that she is doing it. I told you that her powers are very strong. Even a full fledged demon with strong demon blood would find it extremely hard to find her, unless he just happened to come across her."

"Poor Inuyasha. I just hope he finds her fast before any other demon does."

"Oh don't worry. Kagome is a miko, a fighter, and an elf. She would be one of the most top five strongest demon there was IF she was a demon. She'll be fine."

Sango sighed and looked worried.

"Is Kagome you're first friend besides Kirara?" Sango nodded slowly. Kaede smiled.

"Then don't worry. Kagome will be back before you know it. I am going to go to bed now. I'll see you kids later. Good night and hope to the Gods that you sleep well." They both nodded and fell silent.

Shippo smiled in Kagome's chest and snuggled even closer. His small fists closed even tighter onto her shirt.

"Sango, where is Kagome and Inuyasha? Are they doing stuff like my momma and papa did?" Sango blushed a soft red at Shippo's questions.

"No Shippo. Kagome went out and now Inuyasha is looking for her. I don't think though that they are doing anything. If they are then…. Go Inuyasha you sly dog!" Sango glared at Miroku for that comment.

"Ignore him Shippo." Shippo gazed up at Sango and smiled brightly. Then he looked down and cried a little. Sango gathered him up in her arms and cradled him.

"Shhh… It's okay. I'm here, Kagome's here too. Don't worry."

"I-I miss mo-mommy and d-daddy!" Shippo wailed. Sango's eyes softened and held him closer to her chest for comfort. Miroku sighed and pulled out a card. With that he threw it at Shippo's head.

Before he or Sango knew it, Shippo was fast asleep in the young paladin's arms.

"What did you do!" Screeched Sango.

Miroku just shrugged; "I put him to sleep so that way he didn't have to bother with horrible thoughts and nightmares." Sango nodded slowly while glaring at him.

Kagome walked on, moving closer to Inuyasha till she was walking right next to him. Miroku was right behind them riding along side with Kirara. Inuyasha took little notice of her.

"When do we reach the next town?" He sneered down at her. She sighed. He didn't act like that last night.

"Tomorrow morning." She replied emotionless.

Kagome tensed quickly, her elf ears twitched just a little at the tips. Her miko powers stirred violently.

"Come out, come out, Demon. I know that you are there." A couple seconds later she knew who it was.

"Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha froze, how did she know that it was him? His shoulders fell slightly. He jumped down from his perch and sat next to her. Her stormy gray blue eyes looked at him questioningly.

"Wonderful night, eh?" Kagome smiled all of a sudden and then laughed.

His brows furrowed in confusion.

"What? Are you laughing at me?" A rage filled his heart and stomach quickly. Kagome looked shocked.

"Of course not. Why would I laugh at you?"

"Everyone does. Except Miroku. They laugh at me because I'm a hanyou. Neither human nor demon. And they don't like that at all."

Kagome gave him an understanding look.

"Well…those people and demons are very stupid if they don't like you! I mean, how can they NOT like you? Seriously." Inuyasha looked at her uncertain.

'Why is she being so nice to me? I don't understand…the only nice person to me was my mother and Miroku.' Inuyasha was confused at her actions. She just smiled up at him.

He smiled back. 'Maybe this journey won't be so bad after all.' They both thought at the same time.

They sat there together next to one another gazing at the stars and listening to the waterfall till they fell asleep in one another's arms.

A small playful smile crossed her pretty face. Inuyasha looked down at her puzzled. 'She is such a weird girl.' He thought.

"I'm almost there Kagome…wait for me…I've missed you. You'll be back in my awaiting arms soon, my love. Just wait for a couple of more days. See you soon, love." Those words sliced through Kagome's mind like a sword. She stopped dead in her tracks, a look of horror placed her now gone smile. She went pale as a sheet.

"Kagome? Kagome? What's wrong?" Miroku asked quickly. Inuyasha with his fast reactions ran up and took her in his arms before she fell backgrounds with surprise.

"Naraku." Her voice was iced, and thin. Her blue gray eyes rolled to the back of her head, and she passed out in Inuyasha's arms. (No Kagome is not weak psychically or mentally; it just takes a lot of power for both the receiver and the person who sent the message. And…we all know that Kagome hasn't fully gained nor trained her powers. So yeah…)

Inuyasha looked up at Miroku. "What on earth happened to have made her pass out?" Miroku shrugged.

"Let's get her to the next town quickly. She might need a doctor." Miroku jumped on Kirara, held onto Sango by the hips and told Kirara to quickly reach the other town.

Inuyasha was already running with Kagome limping hanging in his arms. At this pace he might reach there well before midnight or even before dinner seeing as how it was five in the morning. He wolfishly grinned.

Four wolfs ran up to a young man clad in wolf skins. He had long black hair that was kept in a ponytail at the nape of his neck. A brown wolf skin headband was wrapped around his head.

"What is it?" His sharp voice rang through the still air. The wolfs whimpered a little and gave a small bark.

"I see…so we have guest." He grinned. 'This should be fun.' He thought.

He was gone in a whirlwind, traveling to his 'guests'.

Sango stirred a little in her sleep. They were moving at a fast pace. 'What's happening? Are we under attack?' Her mind groggily tried to think up a reason why they were moving so fast. Still half asleep she tried to get up but found to her dismay a pair of warm, strong, big hands wrapped around her waist making sure that she didn't fall.

'Who on earth could that be?' She had completely forgotten that she wasn't traveling alone anymore. So, the first thought that came to her mind was that she was kidnapped.

Now full awake, she slammed her elbow into the 'strangers' nose. She then turned around without looking and pushed him off. Luckily for Miroku though they weren't in the air.

Kirara startled at Sango's actions skidded to a stop and looked quite angry with Sango.

"Why are you giving me such a nasty look Kirara? I handled that jerk! He kidnapped us!" Kirara gave her a plain look and laughed. Or at least Sango thought that she had laughed. Sango still half asleep was confused. Then it hit her.

"Oh my gods! Miroku I am so sorry! I had forgotten all about the journey!" She jumped off Kirara gracefully and was at Miroku's side clutching his arm quicker then he ever thought she could get there.

"It's okay. My nose isn't broken or anything, just bleeding heavily. You hit pretty hard though." He smiled though it looked rather queer since he had blood running down his mouth. Sango blinked then laughed. She grabbed a piece of cloth and pressed it to his nose.

"Now let's get back on and head back to our destination. You have some explaining to do on our way." Miroku nodded and sat down behind Sango and explained.

Inuyasha was near the outskirts of the city. He smirked. It was just about lunchtime too. But sadly before he had made it to the gate, he was rudely stopped by a wolf demon. A proud one at that.

"Stop there, hanyou!" Inuyasha growled. He had no time to be playing around with some silly wolf demon.

"Get out of my way, fleabag! As you can see I'm rather in a hurry!" He snapped. (All right sorry if Inuyasha sounds OOC. Heh…I'm not trying to make him sound so smart but yeah…)

The wolf demon looked down at Inuyasha's arms and was shocked.

"Kagome!" He uttered loudly.

"What have you done with her, dogbreath?" He yelled.

"I haven't done a thing, dumbass! Get away!" Inuyasha ran quickly in his direction then jumped into the air and landed on the other side of the town. He quickly stopped a young woman.

"Excuse me, ma'am, (he's just being nice for Kagome's sake ) where is the priestess?" The woman pointed towards the hut that was next to them.

"Oh…thanks!" He ran into the hut, and placed Kagome on the bed.

The priestess walked in and gave a startled jump of surprise. Her hand quickly was up and clutching her chest of pure startled fright.

"Oh! You surprised me! Well, how can I help you?" She gave a cheerful smile.

"My friend, and companion Kagome passed out for no reason. Could there be something wrong?"

"Let me have a look, in the meanwhile go around the town and look about. Come back in an hour." Inuyasha hesitated a bit but then got up and left.

Just as soon as Inuyasha left the gates burst apart with an extreme force, causing the people near it to fall in the air to the ground. Inuyasha's hand quickly went to his sword ready for an attack.

Before the smoke could clear up, people ran around Inuyasha screaming:

"Wolf demons!"

'Wolf Demons? Hmm…' He sniffed the air 'Yup, definitely wolf demons. Hmm, smells like the one that was in my way earlier.' He grinned confidently.

The wolf demon stood there, proudly, searching the crowds for a certain hanyou. Upon seeing the red clad dog demon he growled and ran forward towards him.

"What did you do to Kagome!" He screeched like a girl at him.

"I didn't do anything to her, wimpy wolf!"

"Liar! All of you dog demons are just the same!" Inuyasha's eyes flickered from red to gold.

"What?" He growled. 'This is not what I had in mind to do all day.' Inuyasha thought. He was actually hoping to go shopping, after all, Kagome and Kaede and the village all gave them money. A lot of it too.

"You dog demons always are the ones to cause chaos and wreck people's hard work! And now I see a filthy hanyou puppy come here with my woman!"

Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore. He threw a fast-unexpected punch at the wolf in the face, and then did an uppercut to his stomach. The wolf hunched over and never saw the kick to the temple. It would only knock him out for a couple of hours maybe longer. But at least he would then stop annoying and persisting poor Inuyasha with questions and insults.

With a huff he walked off and explored the shops.

"Kagome…" A voice called out to her in her dreams.

"Who's there?" She asked in a quiet voice. Kagome looked around herself. It was all black, she was standing above black water with ancient ruins underneath, and also she was wearing a pure white gown. It was tight on her chest with a flowery design. The middle part had a silky ribbon tied in the back. Then the skirt came out and flowed around her calves.

"Kagome…" The voice was icy, cold, and filled with menace. She shuddered. Her blackish bluish hair softly caressed her shoulders and bare back. Her beautiful crystal clear stormy blue gray eyes looked on in utter confusion.

'Where am I? What is this place? And who keeps calling my name?' She kept asking herself these questions while walking on top of the strange water.

Suddenly a quick dark shadow passed by underneath her. She stopped in mid step, fear gripping her heart and the icy feeling clawing at her chest.

'Oh my gods, what was that!'

"Kagome…"

"Hiten," Manten started whining again, "Look at my hair! I need a young beautiful girl for more hair!"

Hiten sighed in an annoyance. Sometimes he wished he had no siblings and was a single child. But no, his father found new refund love. With a hideous bride nonetheless. But oh well, he loved his brother at times.

"Manten, brother, we'll find a young maiden for you when we get to the town! Now, would you just shut up?" Manten hushed at his brother's tone.

"There look, see? The town is right there! We can go to the bar, get a drink, and then look around for stuff and you're girl." Manten nodded eagerly.

They walked in the busy streets proudly. Woman near them gazed long and dreamily at Hiten. He flocked about them as if he was god himself. Manten in the back rolled his eyes at his older brothers acts.

'I wish I looked just as good as him…and his hair…oh his hair!' Manten thought.

Sango and Miroku both sighed.

"I wonder if Inuyasha got there yet."

"I'm pretty sure he did…he really likes Kagome you know. She is after all very kind to him and worries about him a lot even if they just met." Sango nodded agreeing with him.

"She is kind and a worrier. But I like her for that." Miroku smiled and put a hand on her shoulder for comfort. She was still worried for her best friend.

"Don't worry, she's in good hands with Inuyasha. He would never let harm come her way if he can prevent it. Otherwise he would never forgive himself." Sango sighed but nodded slowly.

"Oh look! We're here!" She grinned with full pleasure at seeing another town that had her friend in there. Once reaching the gates they both jumped off, Sango carrying the now small Kirara, and Miroku talking to any female specie he could get at.

"Miroku! How could you at such a time like this! Our friend needs us! Come on!" She grabbed him by the ear and dragged him off to the priestess hut.

Kirara shook her head at him. 'What an idiotic human.' The cat demon thought to herself then she started purring.

They walked into the hut and looked around. Sango gasped upon seeing Kagome.

She was cold with sweat and twisting and turning in her sleep, she already had upset her blanket.

"Miroku!" He quickly looked up at Sango.

"Yes?"

"Go and find Inuyasha quickly! Take Kirara with you! She'll be able to sniff out his scent." He nodded, and took off at a sprint Kirara running in front of him.

"Kagome…" The voice cut through the air like a sword cutting through roses.

Kagome looked about her, frightened.

"Who's there!" She screamed out.

"Kagome…" This time the voice sounded amused. She looked down refusing to answer. But that was her mistake looking down. The dark shadow passed by again underneath her feet. It was a big, big, big fish with sharp long shiny fangs.

She gulped. 'Oh my gods…Inuyasha where are you?' For some odd reason she was a human in her nightmare.

'Why am I a human? And how come my powers don't work? Oh gods, please protect me!'

She closed her eyes for a moment and brought her hands to her chest and clasped them together in a prayer.

"Oh holy Gods…

Protect thee from…

Danger…coming…thy way…" Slowly word after word drained away into a whisper till the 'voice' could not hear it anymore.

"Kagome!" The voice yelled out in anger. It didn't like the fact that she was praying and putting a protection spell around her without her noticing.

"Kagome! Quit that! No one will protect you! NO ONE! There is no one that likes you nor care for you so stop praying you silly little girl!" Kagome opened her eyes, angelic tears flowing down her pale face. Somehow the tears made her stormy blue gray eyes even more crystal clear.

Her stormy blue gray eyes never turned red like mosts when they cry but it turned an icy blue around the rims.

Suddenly whatever power that held her above water broke and she fell crashing into the black icy water.

'Oh my gods! No! I have to be above that water at all times!' She somehow knew that her life would be gone if she didn't quickly get out the water. Her hand started clawing for the surface, but she kept sinking farther and farther down. Kagome reached the bottom with a thud.

She looked around herself while her hair whipped at her neck and cheeks. She was scared. She was deadly scared for herself.

In one quick second all of the blackness left. She could see everything under the water, which frightened her even more.

She saw the big fish behind her; it's shiny long fangs gleaming at her in a grin like way. The big yellow eyes staring down in amusement. She gasped and backed away quickly but she hit a dead end at the ruins.

Swish…Swish…

'Gods, what could that be?'

She looked around. Black shadows that had long claws and teeth were jumping from stone to stone, wall to wall, and just about everywhere. She thought she would pass out from fear.

'No! I cannot let myself die like this! I am a warrior and a priestess for crying out loud! You can fight back Kagome!'

"Kagome…you could never fight…you were always weak…you've always had the jewel to protect you…but where is that now?" The voice laughed.

"No…"

"What was that, love?"

"No…I was never weak…I never had to rely on the jewel…that jewel was only there to bring danger and harm towards me not to protect me…I was the one protectingit!" She yelled out in a defiant tone.

The voice growled. Okay so now she knew it was a demon.

"Naraku!"

"Ooooh, it took you this long my love? Tsk tsk tsk, I thought you were smarter then that! Oh well, lookie there! Doesn't that fish look hungry? And what about those shadows? Have fun Kagome, dear. Oh yes…I forgot…I left you some weapons." With a turn of his hand a bow and a quiver filled with never ending arrows popped up along with a sword and a dagger.

"Have fun, love!"

Inuyasha sighed. An hour has passed. 'Time to go back to see how Kagome is doing.'

On his way back he was found by a running, determined, and worried looking monk along with the cat demon.

"Miroku? What's wrong?" Inuyasha quickly grew serious.

"Kagome! She's stressed, having a horrible nightmare! I believe she could use some comfort!" Inuyasha without saying anything ran faster then the wolf demon ever had in his life even with the shards.

He burst into the hut and rushed to Kagome's side.

She was twisting and looking anguished.

"No…Inuyasha…go away…nooo…."

'What kind of nightmare is she having?'

Sango and Miroku looked down at them and left the hut protecting it from harm.

Inuyasha laid down beside Kagome and wrapped his warm strong arms around her waist and brought her towards him. They were almost like one body. Her breathing slowed down to a normal pace but she was still having the terrible nightmare.

He slowly closed his eyes, falling asleep along with her; he was connecting his soul to her dream to help her out.

Kagome slung the quiver at her along with the bow, and grabbed the dagger placing it in her upper part of her dress.

'This is just great…I'm fighting in this kind of outfit! Wonderful.' She grasped the sword around the hilt and looked down. There was another sword. A rusty one.

"Hmm. This one must have been in the ruins! Oh well, it holds power…lots of it. Wow."

Inuyasha appeared next to her wearing dark blue baggy jeans and a white shirt to match her dress without the flowery design.

"Inuyasha?" He turned and looked at her. She was beautiful, but she looked scared. Relief swept over her body and she tackled him into a hug.

"Oh Inuyasha! I was so scared! Naraku was here talking to me, saying I had no one and nothing! And now I have to fight these shadows and a big fish!" Inuyasha held her tightly to his chest taking a big whiff of her hair.

"Don't worry Kagome, I'm here now…I'm here." He said softly into her ear. Her whole body and mind relaxed in dream and in reality. They let go of one another gazing at each other with an almost lovers look, then they grew serious.

"I found another sword at these ruins…it holds power though! Look!" She thrust the sword at him.

"This piece of rusty trash holds power!" He cried out in surprise.

"Yes! Just open it and lets fight! We don't have much time left!"

While Inuyasha and Kagome were sleeping, they didn't notice a rusty sword appear on Inuyasha's belt, the same exact sword in their dream…

He sighed but opened it anyways. It turned into a long big fang.

"Whoa…this is…my sword that my father got for me!"

"Are you serious?"

"Yes!" He was excited no doubt about it.

"Well that is nice and all but…we have to fight now!" He looked around himself. She was right. The shadows were closing and the fish didn't look all too happy either.

They both turned around and pressed their backs against one another without realizing it.

"I think I'll take this side…we'll do the fish together, alright?" Kagome whispered in his ear. Inuyasha nodded and launched the first attack.

Kagome sighed. 'Why are men so stubborn?' She thrust her sword into a shadow then another and then another. Inuyasha doing the same.

"Feh! This isn't hard at all!" He said cockily. 'Men…' Kagome thought. 'But he's right…this isn't hard…that isn't good…'

"Inuyasha! It's a trap!" And she was right. The rest of the shadows all sniggered then backed into the walls making it all dark again. Kagome clawed in the darkness for Inuyasha. As if an angel clad all in white he came to her and held her to his chest tightly.

He looked around them with a grave face. He had to protect Kagome at all costs, but what was going on first?

A light pink blush formed on Kagome's cheeks. 'When did this nice side appear all of a sudden? Oh then again…it's only a dream.'

But before anyone of them could do anything they were forcefully woken up.

Kagome's stormy blue gray eyes fluttered up to meet a pool of golden ones.

She blinked. Was she going blind or something?

"Are you alright?" He quietly asked her. She nodded slowly. She didn't want to move. He was so warm and comfortable…she then realized that she was pressed tightly against his chest almost like they were one person…

Then Miroku and Sango walked in.

"Well…Inuyasha…I didn't know you were this sly! What a naughty boy! Taking advantage of a young maiden sleeping and having a nightmare at that!"

Kagome and Inuyasha both blushed and jumped away from one another looking away. Sango was grinning her head off at their reactions. Kagome trying to change the subject saw Inuyasha's sword.

"Inuyasha!"

"What?"

"The sword! You have it! Somehow you got it from the dream!" He looked down in amazement.

"You're right…" They all looked at it, seeing what powers it held. Kagome's brows furrowed together.

"If I'm correct…it can kill 100 demons in one hit if you get it right…or at least I think…"

Shippo came out of nowhere and clutched at Kagome's body.

"Mommy! Hiten and Manten are here! The thunder brothers I told you about!" Kagome nodded slowly.

"Alright Shippo, you stay here with the priestess, she'll take care of you." The rest of the group got up. Sango and Kagome both went into another room to change.

Sango as we all know now, put on black armor with pink mail on top. She put her hair up in a high ponytail and grabbed her boomerang.

Kagome put on a black flowing jeans that was just like Inuyasha's, it was made of fire rat too. She then put on a tight black tank top that went with the jeans; she then put on her belt with her sword on it, and grabbed her bow and quiver.

"Set?"

"Yup, you?" Kagome nodded.

"Let's go!"

The five of them all quickly ran out, looking about themselves. They didn't have long to wait when the thunder brothers turned around the corner.

"Hiten! Look, there's a beautiful maiden!" Hiten looked at Kagome and lust filled his eyes.

"Must we kill that one? She's so beautiful!" Hiten replied.

Inuyasha looked at them then at Kagome then back at them.

"Are you crazy? That little girl is no beauty!" Kagome glared at him.

"Excuse me? Did you just call me ugly?"

"Why, hmm, I think I just did!" Kagome grew slightly red in the face and screamed:

"Sit!" at him. Sango and Miroku both shook their heads. Kagome then turned her glare at the unexpected brothers.

"You two! Out in the forest now!" They both nodded a little scared at her sudden mood swing. They all rushed out leaving poor Inuyasha in the ground waiting for the spell to wear off.

By the time it did the others were already engaged in a fight.

Kagome was trying to fend off Manten from trying to kill her and use her to get hair. Sango was helping Miroku but they had little success even with Kirara.

Inuyasha came rushing to them; with one strike he got Manten off of Kagome and helped Sango and Miroku a little bit.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed. He turned down and looked at her concern written on his face.

"Take Manten, I'll handle Hiten with my arrows!" He nodded and took out his sword making Manten back up quickly with his fast blows.

Kagome put her sword away and got out her bow and arrows. With one shot she broke Hitens fire air things that let him fly. With another shot she hit the other one. Out of anger Hiten thrust a lighting blot at her. Kagome's quick reactions fled her when she looked at the blot.

Before anyone could do anything, Kagome was surrounded in a ring of blue fire.

"No!" Sango yelled, tears rushing down her face. Miroku held her back from running towards Kagome.

"Shh…Sango, there's nothing we can do." He rubbed her back soothing. Inuyasha angrily glared at Hiten. He turned around and sliced Manten's head off. Hiten stood there in surprise.

'I killed his mate and he killed my brother! That bastard! I'll kill him!'

"I'm going to kill you for killing Kagome!" Thundered Inuyasha. Sango sobbed into Miroku's chest while Inuyasha ran at full speed towards Hiten. Before he could do anything, he was already dead.

Inuyasha ran to Kagome, and picked her up in his arms even with the flames licking at him. He ran out of the flames and hugged her tightly.

"Kagome…don't be dead…please…I don't want to lose you! You've been so nice to me, so kind like no other. Please…wake up!"

"I-Inuyasha? Is that y-you?" Her voice croaked up at him.

"Kagome! You're alive! Thank the gods!" He hugged her even tighter.

"Inuyasha! C-can't br-breathe!"

"I'm so sorry! But how did you survive that fire?" Kagome smiled at him and gave a wink.

"I'm a priestess Inuyasha, remember?" She smirked at him and he glared at her.

"And you had me worried the whole time! How could you!" Kagome laughed.

"I'm sorry! I was kinda knocked out you know! I couldn't very well just yell at you while I was in the fire! You would think I would be dead or something!" She laughed. Inuyasha smirked and then he too started laughing.

Sango and Miroku both ran towards them. Sango giving Kagome a death grip hug.

"Sango! Don't kill Kagome now!" Inuyasha and Miroku both said in a warning tone. Then all four cracked up laughing.

None of them noticed a pair of red eyes gleaming in some bushes observing them all. But of course there was another pair of eyes watching them, these eyes belonged at a certain wolf demon. He jumped up and grabbed Kagome's hand.

"Kagome!" She looked surprised while Inuyasha started growling.

"Thank the gods that you're not hurt! I saw the whole thing! I would have came out and killed those jerks if it wasn't for mutt boy over there!" Kagome bit back a laugh.

"Oh Kouga, don't worry about that! I'm fine, and thanks to Inuyasha we don't have to worry about the thunder brothers anymore." She gave a soft smile towards Inuyasha.

The smile and compliment was both a burst to his ego especially since it was from Kagome. (Wink wink we all know what that means…)

Kouga growled at Inuyasha.

"From dog breath? Ha! I could beat those two any day!" Kagome rolled her eyes and walked off with Sango to the hot springs. Miroku sighed and walked back into town going shopping for some…(Cough We know what…) food and supplies.

Inuyasha taking up the challenge argued right back with Kouga. They went on like that for thirty minutes till Kagome and Sango passed by.

"You two are still at it? Come on Inuyasha, let's go and find a hotel now. And thank the priestess." Inuyasha nodded and walked beside Kagome in a protective manner.

Kouga growled and left to his cave.

Holy crap. This is my longest chapter yet! 17 pages! WHOA! That's a lot. Okay…you guys know what to do…
