"Fine. Whatever." Kagome walked away from him, she didn't care where she was going, she just needed to think. 'Can't he just admit it? This is killing me...I...I need to know...' Kagome thought. When Kagome looked around her she noticed that she was with the Sakura trees. The wind was blowing which made the petals fall off the trees and fly with the wind. She loved how it looked. The entire area was pink.
Kagome sniffed the air and got angry. She plucked one of the blossoms from the tree and placed it in her hair. She then took another blossom and sat on the ground. She rubbed it all over her skin and on her clothes.
'I can't believe it all had to come down to this...'
Now
"Inuyasha is this going to work? You don't even remember how you did it." Miroku said. He and Inuyasha were in the forest. Inuyasha wanted to master his new move
"I'm trying ok!? All I remember is feeling a lot of anger and hate, it's like I was powered by it." Inuyasha said.
"Well then all we need to do is make you angry right?" Miroku asked.
"I guess so." Inuyasha said.
"What if I called you a 'two-timing half breed who can't protect his women'?" Inuyasha hit Miroku on the head.
"That's not enough. And I wouldn't take much offense to that coming from a lecherous monk whose hand has womanized around 100 women." Inuyasha said
"Ah touché" Miroku said. His tone became serious. "That reminds me, there's something I've been meaning to tell you for a while Inuyasha."
"What is it?" Inuyasha asked
"One night when you left to see Kikyo, Kagome was really sad. She began crying, I tried to comfort her so I wrapped my arms around her. I looked down at her and she looked up...our heads were too close, we kissed. We pulled apart, I was about to turn my head away from her but she held it in place and kissed me again. I couldn't help it Inuyasha, I kissed her back. In case you haven't noticed, Kagome is quite a beautiful woman, and a hell-of-a good kisser. We were driven by lust. I don't know how it got there but pretty soon, we were both naked." Miroku paused for a while to look at Inuyasha with sad eyes, Inuyasha's was furious but Miroku continued anyway. "After we pulled apart, she asked me to stop in a soft voice. I ignored her and moved my head to her hips. I liked the taste and after I was done she returned the favor. That night Inuyasha...I took her innocence." Inuyasha's eyes blinked red.
"You damn bastard!" Inuyasha hit Miroku right in his face. Miroku skidded on the grounded before stopping. "She was mine! How dare you touch her!" Miroku stood up from the ground.
Inuyasha swung his sword, aiming for Miroku. 'It seems to have worked.' Miroku thought as he dodged the attack. "You traitorous bastard! Who the hell do you think you are! I knew I couldn't trust you!" Inuyasha swung his sword again, this time using his new attack. Miroku's eyes widened in fear. One of the spikes grazed his face as he ran behind a tree.
"Inuyasha! Stop!" Miroku asked.
"Give me one damn reason not to kill you monk!" Inuyasha charged towards Miroku, trying to hit him again. Miroku tried to dodge but was cut in his side. He landed on the ground, panting.
"Because it was a lie!" Miroku yelled. He dropped on one knee, clutching his side.
"Then why'd you say it?" Inuyasha yelled
"You needed hate and anger right?"Miroku said through a smile. Inuyasha finally understood.
"You didn't have to go so far monk." Inuyasha walked over to Miroku, helping him stand up
"You needed me to. You really cared about her didn't you?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha blushed as he led Miroku back to the hut.
-
Kagome ran towards her home. 'Finally! With him and Miroku training, he wouldn't notice me go into the well!' Kagome opened the door to her home.
"I'm home!" Kagome yelled. Souta and Kira came out of the kitchen. Souta hugged his sister.
"You look nice. Where'd you go for so long sis?" Souta asked
"I went to the feudal era." Kagome said
"You went to go see him?!" Kira and Souta asked.
"Yeah, but not as me. I disguised myself." Kagome said.
"So that's what you needed them for...but, what are you doing here?" Kira asked.
"The perfume you gave me ran out, I need new shampoo and...I want some real food." Kagome said as she rubbed her stomach.
"You're in luck, I just made breakfast" Kira smiled.
"Thanks mom!" Kagome squealed as she ran into the kitchen. 'Eggs...sausage...bacon! Thank Kami!' Kagome grabbed a plate and filled it with food. She choked it all down in less than a minute. Souta, Kira, and her grandfather watched in horror. After she was finished, Kagome ran to the bathroom.
She picked up all her shampoos and conditioners and threw them away. 'That takes care of those...' Kagome washed her face and took the clip out of her hair. She then walked into her room to change her clothes. She stripped off her kimono and put on blue jeans pants with a white top. As she was walking out of the room, she looked back and remembered that she left her kimono on the floor. 'What if he follows me here...where am I going to hide it? Damn his nose...' Kagome groaned as she sat on her bed and thought of a place to hide it. 'Eri works in a flower shop! Perfect!' Kagome put her kimono in a bag and went to her mom's room to put on a different type of perfume.
"Where are you going Kagome?" Souta asked.
"To the mall, Inuyasha might come so be ready." Kagome said as she walked out.
Kagome walked a couple blocks and entered the flower shop.
"Hey Kagome!" Eri said.
"Hi Eri." Kagome smiled
"What can I do for you?" Eri asked
"Can you hold this for me until I come back?" Kagome handed Eri the kimono.
"Um sure, but when will you be back?" Eri said as she watched Kagome's retreating form.
"Later today!" Kagome yelled as she ran out of the store. 'I need to hurry.'
-
"Sango, have you seen Sayuri?" Inuyasha asked.
"She left while a while after you two did. She said she wanted to take a walk." Sango replied. Inuyasha stood up and walked out of the hut. 'Her scent is still here...' Inuyasha followed her scent but when it ended he was surprised. It ended right at the well. 'Did she fall in?' Inuyasha peered over the well before deciding to jump in. When the blue light ended a wave of sadness came over him. Nothing changed here. He hadn't been here in so long. Inuyasha stepped out of the well house. He looked at Kagome's house. He felt a rush of sadness but he decided to go in.
"Inuyasha...?" Souta said.
"Hey kid...long time no see." Inuyasha said. Fighting the urge to run over to him, Souta came back to reality.
"Where's Kagome?" Souta asked. Inuyasha looked like someone had stabbed him. A look of fear was on his face. He sat down at the table. Inuyasha had to think before he spoke.
"I...She...I couldn't protect her..." Inuyasha mumbled low enough for them to still hear it. The entire family faked a gasp. Kira faked tears and Souta cried after pinching himself. Grandfather...wasn't so smart. Kira sobbed as she stepped away from Inuyasha, running to her room. Souta clutched his pants as tears fell. Grandfather just turned his head. Inuyasha looked at each family member. He caused all of this. He left the room in sadness and walked to Kagome's room.
Inuyasha inhaled a deep breath. 'Her scent is everywhere here...' He walked over to the window. Inuyasha looked over to the Goshinboku. His eyes grew sad. Tears fell off of his cheeks and flew with the wind. Inuyasha snapped back into reality. 'Where's Sayuri?' He turned around to inhale her scent one more time before jumping out of the window. He jumped from building to building, trying to pick up her scent. It was hard; this area was full of it. He smelled gas, sweat, ramen, but no sakura trees. How was he supposed to find her? Inuyasha's eyes widened as he caught her scent nearby. He ran into the building as all eyes were on him. He scanned the building, looking for her but she was nowhere to be found. All he saw were flowers. He saw a girl approach him.
"Aren't you Kagome's boyfriend?" Eri asked. Inuyasha cocked his head to the side. 'What's a boyfriend?' Inuyasha thought. Looking at his confused look, Eri sighed in disappointment.
"Forget it." Eri said. Inuyasha ran out of the store as eyes remained on the strange man in a red kimono with white hair, dog ears, and golden eyes. Inuyasha began his search again, jumping from each building. He couldn't pick up her scent anywhere. After running around town for another hour, Inuyasha decided to go back to the well. 'Maybe she found her way back'
-
'I'm so tired!' Kagome panted. She'd gotten everything, the perfume, new shampoos and conditioners, and she even got something she could use with Inuyasha. Kagome was about to walk out of the mall when she heard someone call her name. She turned around and her face twisted in annoyance.
"Kagome!" Hojo yelled as he caught up with her. 'Of all people why him!? You could have sent a demon, or even Kouga!'
"Hey Hojo" Kagome said as she forced a smile.
"I haven't seen you around anymore, you got sick again?" Hojo asked.
"Yeah, it was just a cold." Kagome said. Hojo handed her a basket.
"You really should take better care of yourself."
"Um, thanks Hojo..."
"Since you're feeling better, how about a movie Saturday night?" Kagome's face twisted in anger.
"Hojo, every time you ask me, I say no! What makes this time any different? Just leave me alone Hojo! In case you haven't noticed, the answer will always be no!" Kagome yelled. Hojo stepped back, he never saw Kagome like this, and he was terrified.
"O-ok" Hojo said as he walked away really fast. Kagome looked at the big clock in the mall. '"Oh my god, I'm so late!" Kagome ran out of the mall and ran straight to the flower shop. When she opened the doors, she ran down the street, straight to Eri's shop and grabbed the bag from her without a word. Eri just gazed at Kagome in confusion. It happened so fast. Kagome dashed home, despite the burning in her lungs.
"Tadaima!" Kagome said as she opened the doors and ran for the bathroom. Once inside, she took of her clothes and jumped in the shower. 'Hurry up Kagome!' Kagome scrubbed her hair with her new shampoo and conditioner, it smelled like cherry blossoms. After she was done with her shower, Kagome put on her kimono then when to her mom's room to put on her make-up. She clipped her hair and returned to the bathroom to carry her perfume and Inuyasha's "gift" with her. She bought a bigger bottle of perfume this time.
"I'm leaving mom!" Kagome said as she walked downstairs.
"Honey, Inuyasha came!" Kira exclaimed so Kagome could hear here. Kagome stopped right in front of the door.
"...How did it go...?" Kagome asked quietly.
"Everything went fine, but he went to your room and left afterwards." Kira replied
"Ok, thanks for everything mom." Kagome said. She walked to the well and jumped inside. After the blue light subsided, she jumped out of the well. Quietly, she walked into the forest, looking for her bag. Kagome scowled when she saw Kikyo's soul collectors. The soul collector wrapped around Kagome and seemed to be tugging her go into a section of the forest. 'What's going on?' Kagome followed the soul collector obediently. Soon she saw Kikyo on a branch of a tree, with souls in her hands.
"Hello Sayuri." Kikyo said, looking at Kagome. Kagome's eyes widened a little.
"How do you know who I am? What do you require of me priestess?" Kagome asked. Kikyo laughed.
"I know it is you Kagome." Kagome was shocked.
"But how?" Kagome asked
"You are a part of me Kagome... if you truly did die the half of your soul that you posses would come to me. And you cannot change your aura." Kikyo said.
"I forgot all about that, but your the one only who seems to have noticed." Kagome said.
"Tell me something...why are you doing this?" Kikyo asked.
"I don't want to tell them I'm alive." Kagome decided to leave out the part about Inuyasha.
"I see, since you are part of me, I shall help you." Kikyo approached Kagome and placed her hands on her shoulders. Kagome glowed with a blue light before it died down.
"What did you do?" Kagome asked as Kikyo's hands returned to her side
"Don't worry; it will help conceal your identity."
"Thank you..." Kagome left and headed to her bag. She didn't notice Kikyo smile as she left. After Kagome placed her perfume in the bag, after spraying it on herself, she walked back to the hut. She placed Inuyasha's "treat" in her kimono. Before she got within 10 yards of it, Inuyasha appeared in front of her.
"Where did you go?" Inuyasha asked angrily.
"I'm sorry; I didn't know I was 5 years old. I'll make sure to ask someone before I can go outside, ok daddy?" Kagome said innocently.
"Where the hell were you? You idiot! You could have been killed by a demon." Inuyasha scowled.
"But look, I wasn't so back off." Kagome twirled then walked back to the hut. Inuyasha grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward him.
"Answer my question!" Inuyasha yelled. 'You are so damn lucky I can't sit you!' Kagome screamed in her mind.
"Let go of me!" Kagome yelled.
"No!" Inuyasha said as he tightened his grip.
"You're hurting me!" Kagome screamed. Inuyasha let go of her wrist and saw that he left a bruise.
"Thanks...thanks a lot Inuyasha." Kagome said as she rubbed her wrist. Inuyasha looked at her with sad eyes.
"...Sorry." Inuyasha apologized. Kagome glared at him. When she saw the honesty in his eyes, her glare faded. 'Why do his eyes have that affect on me...?'
"It...It's ok. We should go back..." Kagome and Inuyasha walked back to the hut. When they entered the hut, Kagome quickly covered her eyes and Inuyasha had to choke down a chuckle. Sango and Miroku were making out; both of their hairs were a mess. Shippo, thankfully, was sleeping behind them.
"Um, Inuyasha, you're uh, back." Miroku said as he struggled to fix his hair and robe. Sango tried to fix herself too.
"Yeah monk...it's ok, you don't have to stop on my account." Inuyasha smirked. Kagome sat in the far corner of the hut, making sure Shippo didn't see this.
"It's nice to see that my absence wasn't a big deal." Kagome said. Sango and Miroku had a blood red blush on their faces.
"We were. uh, just playing. Miroku was tickling me..." Sango said.
"Sango...we're not 5 years old... go ahead, I want to be an aunt anyway." Kagome said. Kagome yawned. She needed to rest. Sango and Miroku remained silent, they were far from tired. When Inuyasha heard Kagome's even breathing. He decided to speak.
"Have you guys noticed how much Sayuri is like Kagome?" Inuyasha said.
"What do you mean Inuyasha?" Sango said.
"Her face, how she reacts with Shippo, her smile..." Inuyasha said.
"You just miss her Inuyasha...We do too." Miroku said.
"But that doesn't explain her powers." Inuyasha said. Sango and Miroku thought about it. A cheerful expression came to Sango's face and she had a huge smile.
"I got it!" Sango said.
"What is it Sango?" Inuyasha and Miroku asked.
"It was so obvious! I can't believe we didn't see it!' Sango squealed.

I probably went too far with the Miroku thing but whatever. Sorry if I left a cliffy, next chapter will be up in a week. Oh yeah, all you people who are adding my story to your list, do me a favor and leave reviews. I honestly want to know what you guys think. I don't really like when people read but don't review. If it can't be helped then, fine, it's ok.
Oh yeah, would you guys mind if I made Inuyasha and Kagome kiss before the end or should it be like a finish? This is for future chapters. Leave your answers in reviews or pm me. Luv ya!
