Chapter 10

A/N: Beware Inuyasha's foul mouth… If it offends you, please tell me in a review and I'll replace them with asterisks.

When Inuyasha saw Kagome walk in his room, haggard and exhausted, he did a double take. Where was the feisty girl that yelled at him so passionately? She certainly didn't have deep bags under her eyes and the haunted look that this girl was giving him. Inuyasha's prepared smirk fell off and he started to panic.

If there's one thing he was bad at dealing with, it was tears, but the second worst would be defeat. Inuyasha doesn't loose. He can't allow all those damn bastards to win!

Beyond pissed off, Inuyasha grabbed the shoulders of the girl and snarled. "What in hell is your problem?"

Kagome looked at him with a sort of sadness that mirrored his own. She saw it too. She collapsed on his chest. "I just can't do this anymore!" She sobbed.

Wordless, Inuyasha did something he hadn't done in a long time: nothing.
