Thanks for the quick reviews. I'm glad you're enjoying it! I might switch up the style a bit in this chapter because I'm still not satisfied with the last one. Just let me know what you think.

"It's Not Enough"

---

(Two weeks later)

"Inuyasha, I'm going back to my time!" shouted Kagome, stomping her way across the campsite. "You can come with me, you know! I don't know why you're always against me. I'd get home a lot quicker if we could cut out this bullshit." She plopped down next to her bag and immediately started taking out items that Miroku, Sango, and Shippo would need during her absence.

"Keh. You're just being lazy! I know for a fact that you finished your last test a week ago. You told me so." He was now standing over her, his hands stuffed in his haori sleeves. When she didn't cease unpacking, Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her and snatched her off the ground, bag and all. While making a break for the forest, to the others he said "We'll return. Set up camp."

…

Once they reached a clearing that was far enough away from the others' prying eyes, Inuyasha gently placed Kagome back on her feet. Without giving her time to react, he took the bag from her hand and tossed it onto the ground several feet away.

"Naraku is close, Kagome. Real close. If you'd ever give me time to explain before you fly off the handle we wouldn't ever have those stupid arguments. You fight me on this just as much as you claim I fight you," he said with a glare. When she made to say something he just continued. "You act like such a brat sometimes, you know that? I love you, Kagome, I really do, but I'm getting tired of being made out to be the bad guy in this. Sango is using her stupid oversized boomerang too freely on me 'in defense of you,' and I'm coming to my breaking point. That wench seems to forget who it is that takes care of this pack." His nostrils were flaring now, and his feet had become shoulder-width apart.

"Forewarning, if she hits me one more time I won't hesitate to remind her who is Alpha." At her gasp, Inuyasha raised a brow. "I know you humans seem to forget that I'm a demon because I've allowed myself to become so domesticated for you, but I'm still a demon nonetheless. My demon blood has been to boiling point more times than I can remember, but I've distanced myself so that you wouldn't have to see that side of my heritage."

Looking down at her sneaker-clad feet, Kagome said "I didn't realize…" She trailed off the end of her sentence, but then looked back up with determined eyes. "You know, if you'd been this open with me months… years ago then we wouldn't have all of these miscommunications!" Once again, she was trying to turn the tables back on him.

"Oh, no you don't! We're not going to go off topic here. We need to settle one problem at a time, woman." Taking a seat on the soft grass, Inuyasha pulled her down to straddle his lap. "We're not leaving this spot until you fully understand." She made to protest, but he only silenced her by covering her lips with his own.

She stiffened for a moment, but then gently placed her hands on his shoulders. When he opened his mouth over hers, she allowed him to nibble on her lower lip before he swept his tongue into her mouth. She had learned that he got off on being dominant, and she had come to realize that she liked when he took over. Closing her eyes, Kagome missed the hooded look that his golden eyes took on.

After thoroughly exploring her mouth, including running his tongue over every one of her teeth, he softened his attack and coaxed her tongue into his own mouth. Kagome was only happy to oblige; and she moaned and tightened her grip on his shoulders when he gently ran his fangs over her tongue. When he was satisfied that her brain had thoroughly turned to mush, Inuyasha pulled back after one last lick to her lips.

Kagome kept her eyes closed and just sat there for a few moments. However, she was brought out of her blissful state when Inuyasha said "I want you to stay here." After opening her eyes, she looked into his and replied "I have to restock our supplies. We're running low on Ramen and… other things." She was too embarrassed to say 'tampons,' even though she was sure he had no idea what they were.

"That's nice and all, but I meant that I want you to stay here for good. I want you to stay in this time, with me, forever," he finished, nuzzling her pulse point with his mouth. When she didn't say anything, he pulled his head back and looked into her eyes. He then noticed her melancholy look and said "What?"

Sighing, Kagome moved her hands from his shoulders to wrap around his neck. "I'm human, Inuyasha. You know I can't be with you forever… but I'll stay as long as I'm able." And with that, she leaned in and tried engage him in a kiss again. However, he didn't like her answer, so he pulled back.

At her hurt look he said "That's not good enough for me, Kagome. I need you here with me forever." Sorrow filled her eyes, and she said "It's just not possible, Inuyasha. I am human, after all. I'll die in the next seventy or eighty years, and you'll live until my time… maybe longer." "DON'T!" was his sharp command.

When tears welled in her eyes, his face softened. "I can't bear to think of that right now. Don't think of it, Kagome. It's not enough for me! I won't just idly sit by while you age." "It's just the way things are, Inuyasha. I'll age and die, and there's nothing to be done about it." One lone tear dripped down to her chin.

"Not if I can help it," he replied. He then lay back, pulling her down to rest her cheek on his chest. "Keh. I always get my way, after all. I won't settle for anything less." He failed to see the dull look that took over her face

'I'm sorry, Inuyasha. I can't be anything more than what I am,' she thought to herself.

That was it. I feel like I don't have much of a plot… just a bunch of dialogue. If you guys want another chapter then I'll try to… do something to help it? Haha.

Inuyasha seems super out of character, but I only just realized. Maybe it's just around Kagome? I don't know. He's an ass… he just wouldn't be Inuyasha if he was any other way.
