Disclaimer: Ok, do we have to do this every chapter...? I dunno, I'm clueless, well, here's chapter 2! Sorry for the wait, but hey, it's X-mas!

Sango: She doesn't own anyone in this fic.

A few months passed, in which tension began to grow. At first, it was the same Inuyasha and Kagome fights about going to look for Naraku. However, then other things began to happen...

"Will you two just shut up! You've had the same fight everyday now! You're both so stubborn!" Shippo cried out. Everyone went silent. This was usual for the kitsune.

"Shippo I-." Kagome was speechless. She ran out of the hut crying. Things were getting harder.

Sango ran out after her, but not before giving the group a look that said, 'What's happening to us?' Inuyasha started cussing uncontrollably while Miroku was simply shocked. "Shippo, maybe you could I been a tad more considerate?" When he suggested that, Shippo started to cry into Kirara. He hadn't meant to hurt Kagome.

"Why does Inuyasha have to be such a jerk! And why did Shippo yell at ME!? I'm not the one who started it!" Kagome was mumbling into her hands. She'd stopped running and had sat down next to the riverbank.

"Kagome, it's not your fault...Everyone's just been stressed lately. Well, Inuyasha has a reason..." Sango stopped herself. This was NOT going to make things better if Kagome found out.

"Oh yeah? What's his reason than?" Kagome took her hands away from her face than looking at Sango. Sango took a deep breath. "Well, uh, he's been...trying to find out how to ask you to be his mate!" Sango lied. Inuyasha was going to kill her.

Kagome's eyes opened in surprise. "R-really?" Sango nodded, looking away. Kagome smiled and started squealing.

Back at the hut

Inuyasha stood up. 'Damn that Naraku! If it wasn't for him and that little...meeting, I would have Kagome pissed at me!' He though back to the day after Christmas...

Flashback

"Inuyasha, heed my wish or you'll never see your wench again!" Naraku said. "Oh, and just to insure you do...I've injected her with a bit of poison. This was made so that if the one she loves makes her heart pound with that pathetic love, she will die instantly."

"Damn you! Why the hell do you want this anyway!?" Inuyasha yelled, but he had already fadded away into the night. Sango, who had been watching the whole thing, stepped out from behind the tree.

"Inuyasha, don't worry. Kagome won't die, Naraku just wants to..." She was cut off before she could finish.

"How do you know! She could die because of me! The only place where he would get us is...her era. But! She would never agree to stay there and leave you and the monk to fight alone."

Sango shrugged and walked back. The last thing Inuyasha called out to her was, "Tell ANYONE and you're dead!"

End Flashback

A/N: Terrible, Boring, Short. Well, don't blame me. I wanted to get this up before X-mas. And, it's the 23 but, Merrry Christmas!
Miroku: I only got ONE LINE! This is absurd! I should-
