Hey! I'm back with another chapter! I'm sorry I took a little longer... x.x
Hope you'll like it!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT own InuYasha the anime/manga/whatever else there is.
Status: OnGoing -- Alternate Universe -- Non-OOC
Pairings: InuYasha and Kagome - Sango and Miroku - Koga Ayame - Others not decided
Full Summary: Kagome is walking home from work one day, and finds something, or someone, that will turn her life around. Along the way, she meets new people and discovers new things. But with every wrong step she takes, takes a toll on her.
Chapter Summary: Kagome's been kidnapped, and InuYasha goes to get her back before it's too late. But when certain things happen, InuYasha relives the past, but discovers the truth. Does that mean it's love, or just lust? What about Kagome? She's certainly not aborting anymore...

Chapter Seven- Is This Love?
"Did they take Kagome?" Shippo asked. InuYasha punched him in the head.
"Do you see her anywhere here baka?" He shouted. "Of course they did!" InuYasha sheathed his Tetsusaiga.
"SHIT!"'
"What now… InuYasha-Sama?" InuYasha growled, clenching his fist so tight, he almost drew blood with his claws.
"InuYasha…" Miroku spoke up. InuYasha turned around with an impatient glare.
"What?"
"What do you think Naraku will do?" InuYasha lowered his head, so that his bangs hid his eyes. Everyone decided to leave him alone.
Kikyo…
He lifted his head with a frown, and looked at everyone in the eye before turning around.
"Let's go." They all exchanged looks with one another, but quickly followed.
-------------------------------------------------------
"People are starting to look at you, InuYasha." Miroku said. InuYasha got up from sniffing on the ground.
"Like I give a damn." InuYasha gave everyone his own 'fuck off' scowl and sprinted off, continuing to follow Naraku's scent.
Kagome… just hold on…
Everyone else tried to follow. Sango and Miroku were flying high in the air on Kirara. Koga was right next to InuYasha because of his jewel shards in his legs. Hiten and Manten glided on their thunder clouds as everyone else was lagging behind, especially Ginta and Hakkaku.
InuYasha picked up speed as Naraku's scent got stronger. Koga got quicker as well, and they looked like they were in a race, to see who would reach Kagome first and claim her as their mate. (Or something like that… XD)
After running past the upper part of Tokyo and the suburban part, they reached the heart of Tokyo, where all the bustling people, demons and smelly factories were. They ran and ran until they reached a dark alley. InuYasha stopped and looked at Koga, who nodded.
Kagome's in here…Kirara arrived right then with Sango and Miroku as Hiten and Manten stayed in the air.
"Ready?" InuYasha snarled. Everyone nodded their heads. InuYasha was the first to step in, his hand never leaving Tetsusaiga's handle. They reached to the very end of the alley, and met with a cement wall. InuYasha sniffed the air and smirked.
Put up a barrier, have you Naraku? He pulled out his Tetsusaiga.
"InuYasha! What're you doing?" Sango asked.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm going to break this wall!" Everyone was silent. What were they going to say? Don't destroy public property?
With one strike, the Tetsusaiga hit the wall. Instead of crumpling it into pieces, the sword created ripples in the wall like water before it disintegrated and showed a cave-like passageway.
Definitely Naraku. It reeks of him inside. InuYasha ran in with Tetsusaiga still in his hand. Everyone present followed him.
Naraku's scent is all over the place… and I can't seem to even get a whiff of Kagome's…Chikushou.
They ran deeper and deeper in the cave like there was no end, and soon it was hard to see. Everyone based on the sound of footsteps to tell where to go, at what speed to run in, and when to stop. When InuYasha stopped, Koga stopped as well, because they both smelled the scent. The scent of hundreds of demons. Hundreds of Naraku's demons, and one Naraku smelling stench.
"Kagura." He muttered under his breath. Someone… everyone bumped into Koga and InuYasha in the darkness, and they fell on the floor, one topping another.
"Get the hell off me!" Said a snarling low voice, and everyone immediately got off.
"I'm sorry, InuYasha-Sama."
"I couldn't see, Master InuYasha."
"Please forgive me…"
"We're very sorry…" InuYasha eyed all of them in the darkness. Though no one really saw it, they could just sense those glaring eyes that sent chills down their spine.
"Yeah, everyone apologize to InuYasha, but not to me." Koga muttered.
Red dots appeared in the darkness in front of everyone. As the dots grew, everyone noticed that they were the eyes of a large number of demons. A lone dark figure appeared. A feminine figure. The same gust of wind blew.
"You guys take care of Kagura." InuYasha snarled.
"Kaze no Kizu!" He swung his sword, and most of the demons dissipated in the blinding yellow streak of light.
"Take care of the rest." He ordered, and he went ahead, further into the cave.
I still only smell Naraku… where is Kagome?
InuYasha felt a presence immediately, and he ducked just in time as an arrow came past, only grazing his cheek. He touched it before slowly turning to where the arrow came from, the Tetsusaiga still in his hand. Another feminine figure appeared before him, holding a bow and another arrow in place.
"Kagome…" He whispered.
Kikyo…
Kagome pulled back the arrow slowly. The bow creaked as she pulled harder and farther. InuYasha gripped his Tetsusaiga harder as his knuckles turned white, and blood oozed out from the claws that dug into his palm. She let go of the arrow with a… smirk? InuYasha didn't have time to duck, so he blocked the arrow with his Tetsusaiga. The arrow disappeared, but Tetsusaiga became just another rusty old sword. InuYasha sheathed it and ran up to Kagome with such agility that she didn't have time to get another arrow from her quiver. He knocked the bow from her grasp and grabbed her wrist. He glared at her in the darkness, and Kagome just glared back with a frown. He sniffed the air.
I still only smell Naraku. Kagome's this close and I only smell Naraku's stench. I don't even smell… my pups…
The sudden realization came upon him.
"Kagome. Where are the twins?" He quickly asked. Kagome didn't reply, and InuYasha's mind dawned on the first possible cause.
Naraku killed my twins… my pups…Kagome doesn't even care…His thought took too long. His hand loosened on her wrist, and so Kagome pulled away. She took an arrow from her quiver and jabbed it into his chest. InuYasha gasped for air and backed away.
"Kagome…"
Kikyo… this is… so familiar…He grabbed the arrow and pulled it out roughly, so his blood spluttered on the ground. He felt it… and he was loosing control. His vision flashed red, and something sharp grazed his lower lip. A low growl emitted through his fangs as he raised his hand. The next thing he knew was something was all over his hands, but it was not Kagome's blood.
What is this? I could have sworn I cut through Kagome…
His red eyes gazed upon the ground where Kagome was, but now wasn't.
Did she disappear? Did I even kill her?
He sniffed the air. His youkai senses were a lot stronger than his hanyou, and he immediately got a whiff of Kagome… and a tint of her blood. Without hesitation, he hastily set towards the smell.
Damn you Naraku…
When he reached the scent, there was a blinding white light before the setting appeared before him. There was Kagome, sitting against the wall in the corner, with Kohaku aiming his curved dagger at her neck, awaiting the command to kill her. InuYasha growled as his youkai mind swarmed in.
My mate… my pups…
His throat released a threatening snarl as he lifted his fingers, showing his deadly sharp claws, covered with… Naraku's stench?
"InuYasha…" he heard. His teal pupils gazed around, looking for where the voice came from, but couldn't. His senses wouldn't let him. Kagome looked at him in horror.
This can't be InuYasha…
"InuYasha…?" She called out again. Immediately, he turned his head, swerving his blue pools to that raven haired girl kneeling cowardly on the cold floor with tears in her eyes. Scared tears.
My mate…
He took a step closer to her, reaching his demon hand out. Kohaku slammed the curved dagger into the wall, letting the convex steel feel Kagome's neck, but not hurting it. InuYasha felt that as a threat and immediately pounced on him. Kohaku ducked, and the dagger fell on the floor in front of Kagome. InuYasha glared at him with his glowing red eyes, and was about to kill him with one swipe of his claws when something dark green shot out to him. With his quick demon agility, he ducked so that whatever it was, was jammed into the wall of the cave, inches away from Kagome.
A blinding red light went into Kagome's eyes. She shut them tightly, and when the light subsided, she opened them, and gazed upon a bloody floor with green blobs everywhere. Green blobs that still moved, but not much. She looked up and saw a frowning Naraku. Kagome turned her head, and saw InuYasha, still with the long sharp claws, the fangs that could rip anything, and the bloodshot eyes with the deep teal ovals inside. Kagome shuddered as she got up and ran in front of him. He emitted another deadly growl, and showing all his teeth along with it, but it subsided.
My mate… my pups…
"InuYasha?" Kagome asked in a tentative voice.
Is that what I am? An InuYasha? Is that…me? InuYasha didn't reply. Kagome felt something come around her neck, and it pulled her back. She gasped for breath as Naraku's tentacle squeezed harder, choking her before InuYasha cut it apart. Kagome fell on the ground. She got up and held her neck as she took a deep breath.
InuYasha… saved me? He saved me? When… he was like that? What is it exactly that he's become?
Kagome looked back at InuYasha who was now in the air with another raised claw. He was about to dissipate Naraku's barrier when another yes, another, tentacle went through his stomach and he fell on the ground. Kagome's eyes widened.
"INUYASHA!" She quickly ran to him and kneeled beside him. He looked like he was drowning in his own pool of blood. Kagome saw him open his eyes, which were now back to a gold pools surrounded by white. He lifted his bloody hand that now had shorter claws and held Kagome's. He smiled at her.
"You're safe Kagome. I came in time." Kagome didn't believe what she was hearing.
"InuYasha's not a dictator or anything. He's a great leader. He's just scary to everyone, but he still acts as if we're a family. He cares about us, and doesn't do anything too reckless, it's just he can be very scary when we don't listen. Everyone thinks he just tries to keep order so nothing will go wrong and fall apart."
She smiled back.
InuYasha…
"InuYasha… are you alright?" He got up slowly with Kagome's help.
"This is nothing to me. Remember when you first met me?" He reminded. Kagome gave an ironic laugh. InuYasha gave her a serious look. "I knew it wasn't you the whole time." He lied. Kagome didn't understand.
What does he mean, he knows that it wasn't me?
He stood up and glared at Naraku.
"You're pathetic." InuYasha spat. "To think that I'd fall for you being Kagome… Naraku." Naraku smirked.
"You believed it too, just like you believed it when Kikyo did the same thing." InuYasha kept silent.
Kikyo… that's right… that's why she kept reappearing in my mind…
"Hiraikotsu!" came a far away yell. Kagome stepped back, but InuYasha stayed where he was, not fazed by the gust of wind. Kagome opened her eyes when the dust subsided, and saw the rest of the gang here.
InuYasha brought everyone here for me?
Naraku sniggered as he disappeared, and the cave started crumpling down.
"Miroku." InuYasha called out. Miroku nodded.
"Kazanna!" All the parts of the cave above that would have hit their heads went into his wind tunnel. When he closed his right hand, everyone met the clear blue sky. Kagome saw everyone with bruises and scabs with blood dripping everywhere. InuYasha picked up Kagome and then jumped back to Miroku's place. Everyone else followed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone sat on the couches of Miroku's living room.
"Hey Miroku." Koga called out.
"Yeah?"
"Will the rents get mad if we stain these things with our blood?" Miroku rolled his eyes.
"Like they give shit about that." He joked. Kagome came into the living room.
"Miroku! I found your first aid kit!" Everyone turned to Kagome with a smile.
"We're so glad you're safe, Kagome." Hakkaku announced. Everyone nodded.
"InuYasha was worried like hell." Bankotsu said. Kagome looked up as she took out the bandages.
"He was?"
"Damn right he was." Ginta replied. Kagome helped everyone with bandages and antibiotics.
"Thanks, Kagome-Sama." Miroku said. Kagome smiled.
"Don't worry. All of you came to save me." She credited. They all exchanged looks before turning back to Kagome, who closed the first aid kit.
"Why don't you take care of InuYasha?" Ayame suggested.
"Keh. I don't need to be taken care of." A cocky voice said. All heads turned to InuYasha, who just entered the living room.
"InuYasha…"
Kagome got up and walked to him.
"You should be in bed. Your wounds haven't healed yet." She said. InuYasha stared at her.
This is not the same one that shot a bullet at me a few hours ago…He thought. When he didn't reply, Kagome just smiled and pulled him upstairs with the first aid in the other hand.
"I think he's grown on her now…" Miroku said blatantly.
"I think it's the other way around." Sango replied. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"And to think that just a few hours ago, Kagome made InuYasha jump into the pool." Koga laughed.
"She was cute too…" Manten said.
"I know… I wanted her." Hiten added. Menomaru rolled his eyes.
"She has InuYasha's twins. Like he'll let you."
"Yeah. You'll have to go through him." Suikotsu said. There was a pause, when Miroku suggested something else.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kagome…" He said as he got back into bed. Kagome sat next to him, the first aid kit sitting on her lap.
"Are you alright, InuYasha?" Kagome asked again. InuYasha rolled his eyes.
"Yes…" He replied, quite annoyed. Kagome smiled a sad smile.
"I'm sorry." InuYasha raised an eyebrow.
"What was that?" Kagome swallowed, and then hugged him. InuYasha felt himself blush.
"I'm sorry I was so mean. I'm sorry I made you worry…" She whispered. InuYasha smiled and patted her on her back. Kagome laid next to him, with his arm around her shoulder underneath.
"Kagome…" he whispered back. He loved her name. It just rolled off his tongue.
Kagome… He got his other arm and hugged her tightly in her arms. Kagome hugged back. When they pulled away, Kagome looked at him with concerned eyes.
"Are you sure you don't need me to treat your wounds?" She asked. InuYasha leaned forward. Kagome stayed frozen.
He's going to… oh my god…
Kagome… please… heal my heart… let me forget about Kikyo…
His lips landed on hers, and Kagome responded. It was short but sweet, and when they pulled back, they were both blushing.
Do I love him?
I don't love Kagome… do I?
"A girl and a boy." InuYasha muttered happily. Kagome looked confused. InuYasha smiled a cocky smiled as he leaned toward her ear, so that his nose went into her hair.
She smells so good…
"You aren't going to abort a little girl and boy…are you, Kagome?" He whispered gently, which sent Kagome shivers up and down her spine.
