A/N: GASP I FEEL HORRIBLE IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A MONTH SINCE I LAST UPDATED... PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!!! Well here's another chapter, and thank you to those of you that did review!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha... If I did...it would be very, very weird...

'Inuyasha's demon side'

'Inuyasha or someone else thinking'

XXXX

Inuyasha's POV

'She's right there, take her.'

'I can't she won't let me, and I won't force myself on her.'

'She kissed you.'

'She pulled away.'

'She still kissed you.'

'She said she couldn't do this.'

'We both know she was lying, we can smell it.'

'I won't do it.'

'Then let me out.'

Kagome was looking away, so she didn't see me battling with my demon side, or my demon side taking over, for that matter. My demon gently grabbed her chin and made her look at me. I heard her gasp, no doubt seeing his red eyes, and his jagged purple lines across my cheeks.

"Don't lie to us, Kagome," I whispered staring at her sternly.

'Stop controlling me.'

'I'm not anymore; I just gave you a push.'

'What!?'

'You heard me. This is you acting, not me.'

My demon side wasn't lying. It was me making the moves.

"I'm not lying," I heard Kagome whisper back sounding uncertain.

"I can smell it Kagome." I replied.

She looked at me with sorrow filled eyes. I could smell tears starting to come from her. I wanted the tears to go away and be replaced with a smile, so I did something... I kissed her again. This time she responded and surprisingly, kissed me back. Damn she's confusing!

She pulled away again and gasped, covering her mouth.

"I shouldn't have done that," she quickly said.

"Why not?"

"Because I haven't seen you in a year, and I already have a relationship with Hiroki." She replied casting her gaze to the ground.

"Do you love him?"

"What?" she asked as her head snapped in my direction.

"Do you love him?" I repeated.

"Yes... no... I don't know," she whispered pleadingly.

"How do you not know?"

"I feel at ease with him, but I don't feel like I did with you," she replied quietly.

"How did you feel about me?" I asked, knowing that I might've been pushing it.

"I loved you," she murmured, and I couldn't believe it.

'See, see? I told you!'

'Shut up!'

'Not until you take her!'

'Never!'

'But she loves you!'

'No she loved me.'

'Once you're in love you can't stop loving the person, you know that.'

'Shut up!'

'Fine but I get to respond to what she's just said!'

I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt my lips on hers again. What the hell was my demon thinking!? I felt her go stiff, but soon after relax. I pulled away and stared into her blue eyes.

"S-sorry," I stuttered until I heard her giggle. "What!?" I asked sharply.

"That was probably the third or fourth time, give or take a little, that you've ever said sorry, and it was for kissing me," She laughed. What was with her and mood swings today!?

"Keh." I snorted as I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Oh god Inuyasha you never change!" she exclaimed, while I just smirked at her.

"Come on, we should probably get back to the cave. And so you don't get sick from the rain." I said as I kneeled down for her to get on my back.

Takashi's POV

After Inuyasha and Kagome left Hiroki followed them; leaving me with Sango... and Miroku. After the two had stopped laughing, an uneasy silence settled between us. I noticed how Sango would glance at me then Miroku then to the ground. It was obvious that she was nervous, but about what? Since Miroku had come along Sango had been acting paranoid and it was starting to worry me. Could they have had something before that never really died, when the group separated? The thought sent shivers down my spine.

"So, how do you two know each other?" Miroku asked suddenly.

"Takashi grew up in another demon slayer village close by mine. We met when I was eight and he was ten," Sango replied, staring at the ground. Miroku nodded and silence settled once again.

"...Why did the group split up?" I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me.

"The jewel shattered... and I guess everyone feels it was their fault... I know I still do," Miroku said keeping his eyes on the ground.

"It was more of my fault than yours." Sango murmured.

"It was my fault, and not any of yours!" I looked up to see Kagome standing at the entrance, with Inuyasha and Hiroki on both of her sides, with a guilty expression on her face.

"Not true if it's anyone's fault it's mine!" Inuyasha snapped.

Kagome was about to retort when Sango and Miroku pleaded in unison, "It doesn't matter we're all back together, now stop fighting!"

The Next Morning

Rays of light penetrated the darkness of the cave, waking all of us up, or at least those of us who weren't already up...

"MIROKU YOU LECHEROUS MONK, GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!" I heard Sango scream from outside the cave.

Immediately I ran outside to see what was going all only to be met with a rather humorous scene. Sango was standing over Miroku unconscious body with her Hiraikotsu held over her head. I let out a light chuckle as Inuyasha, Kagome, and Hiroki emerged from the cave. Kirara let out a pleased mew from beside Miroku's head as Kagome and Inuyasha shrugged and walked back inside the cave, mumbling something like "Looks like he hasn't changed much." That only confirmed my fears. I had to act fast.

Miroku's POV

After I regained consciousness from Sango's attack, the smell of something cooking reached me. I heard people talking next to me and kept my eyes shut, as to listen to what they were saying.

"What did you want to talk about?" I heard a feminine voice ask, and almost immediately I noticed the voice belonged to Sango.

"Sango, you know I love you, right?" The voce of Takashi asked. I felt my stomach knot, for I knew what was coming.

"Yes, what are you getting to Takashi?"

"We were betrothed when we were born, to link our villages together, am I correct in believing that you know this?"

"Yes but what does that have to do what you are talking about?"

'Come on Sango can't you realize what he's getting at? Please, stop him before things go that far. I'm begging you to stop him, Sango. I love you; don't you realize I would die for you?'

"Sango, I am asking you to marry me," Takashi said.

My heart fell to my stomach with her reply. I knew then that I would have to fight for her until the end.

"Yes!"

A/N: ok this is short... but it works!!! But I really don't feel like I've been getting a lot of feed back... so for me to update I need about... 10 MORE REVIEWS BEFORE I TOUCH THE KEYBOARD!!! I do appreciate all of you who do review so, I probably will settle for eight or so... but I really do want to hear what people think about this story, even if they tell me in caps that it sucks I still need to hear from, everybody!!!! And I don't think that 10 reviews is much to ask for because I had around 50 people check the last chapter... or that's what it was when I last checked... so once again I'm sorry for the long awaited update and for the sudden command.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

I hope you all have a great time and gain some weight again!!!

Love you all,
