Chapter 10
------------------------------X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X---------------------------
Two weeks later in the present: Kagome was about to jump in the well and finally go back to Inuyasha and the others. She was very upset with him, and didn't want to see him. She guessed that Inuyasha knew how she felt, seeing as he never came to get her. Kagome had thought things over, and decided to find out if Inuyasha's love for her was true or not. With that she jumped into the well. When she came out, she saw a look of shock and happiness on the face if Inuyasha who was sitting by the well. Kagome gave him a smile to show that everything was ok between them. With that, Inuyasha gave her a big hug. Kagome hugged him back.
"I was afraid that you wouldn't come back." Inuyasha said with sadness in his voice.
"I had to clear my head and think about everything that happened." She said. "I couldn't stop thinking about how you said that you loved me. Don't get me wrong, I still want you and Kikyo to be friends. It's just that I hope you're not in love with her anymore."
"I'm not Kagome. And besides, it was Kikyo's idea that she and I separate and you and me be together. Personally, I think that something happened to her when she was with Sesshomaru. And I haven't heard from her since." Inuyasha told Kagome.
Kagome didn't know what to say to him, so she jus hugged him. She was glad that he was happy to see her. Inuyasha embraced her tightly. He was happy that Kagome was back, and hoped that she didn't plan on leaving anytime soon. Plus he also wanted to get back to looking for Naraku. They went back to the village to get Sango and Miroku, and they began their journey.

Kikyo was taking care of some of the wounded soldiers. It had been a while since she last saw Sesshomaru. She tried to tell herself that she didn't care because he was a demon. But part of her hoped that she would at least see him in the forest or somewhere. She decided that she wanted to go for a walk because she was tired of caring for wounded men. As Kikyo was walking by the river, she saw the little girl Rin. This had to mean that Sesshomaru was close by. Kikyo walked up to Rin.
"Hello Rin. What brings you around here?" Kikyo asked Rin, knowing that Rin would tell her where Sesshomaru was.
"Oh…. We are here because Lord Sesshomaru wanted to come to the forest for some reason, but he didn't tell Jaken or me why. He doesn't really tell us why he wants to do a lot of things." Rin said.
Kikyo knew that if she didn't do something quickly, Rin would probably talk the rest of the day away. But the good thing was she knew that Sesshomaru was near by. But why would he be in the forest close to the village she was staying at?
"It was nice to see you again Rin. But I have to get some herbs for the wounded men"
"Good-bye Lady Kikyo." Rin said as Kikyo departed.
Kikyo continued to walk through the forest when she saw him. Sesshomaru was sitting by a tree. She didn't want him to notice her, but with him being a demon, he had already picked up her scent.
"I know that you're there Kikyo." He said to her.
"Why did you come here to this forest?" She asked. "there must have been some reason why you're here."
He got up and slowly walked up to her. "My reason of being here is no concern of yours. Besides, what I do with my life is not the business of a human such as yourself." He said.
"You still never answered my question." She said with a smile on her face.
"Why are you smiling? I know that I didn't say anything amusing."
"Well, if it isn't our new love birds together again!" Naraku said as he came from behind a tree.
"What the hell do you want?" Sesshomaru asked.
"I came here to finish what I started with the priestess." Naraku then made a move toward Kikyo.
Before Sesshomaru knew what he was doing, he stepped in front of Kikyo.
"Don't even think about touching her. If you do, you'll have to get through me first."
"Why, aren't we very protective of the people we "don't" like." Naraku said sarcastically. "I'll just leave you two alone." Then he left.
"I thought that you didn't like me." Kikyo asked Sesshomaru.
He was still standing there in front of her. He didn't know how to reply to her. Sesshomaru's mind was telling him to hate her, but his hid heart said that he loved her. Then for some reason Sesshomaru listened to his heart, and he kissed her. She felt the same way, so she kissed him back.
