Hey guys. Reviews still lacking, but I'll still update. Hope you guys are liking it.
Kagome's Betrayal
Kagome groaned as she opened her eyes to see another pair staring at her. Her normal reaction would be to scream, but she knew these eyes too well.
"Inuyasha..." She squeaked out. The hanyou smiled at her. "You've been out for almost a full day."
"Really? I didn't think that wound took that much outta me."
Inuyasha snorted. "It did. It's still healing a lot. Dont move around too much."
Kagome sighed, then nodded. "Where's the jewel?"
Inuyasha pulled the small pink orb out of his kimono sleeve.
Kagome smiled. "Is it really over?"
"Yea. I think so. You know what this means, right?" He said, slipping one arm around her shoulder.
Kagome smirked. "Oh yeah." She said, leaning in towards him.
"Kagome!!" Shippo yelled, launching himself at the injured girl.
Kagome winced at the extra weight on her mid-section, then smiled. "Shippo, Im alright, no need to be so ecstatic."
Inuyasha growled. "Get off her, runt! You see she's injured!"
Kagome scowled. "Inuyasha, he was just glad Im alright. Stop being such a guard-dog."
Inuyasha mumbled something, then sat Indian-style. Kagome could tell he was in one of his moods now. Then, Miroku, Sango, Kaede, and Akira walked in.
"Kagome, how are you feeling?" Sango asked, sitting down next to the futon Kagome was laying on.
"Im feeling great, Sango."
"That's good, because you'll be doing more miko training now." Kaede interjected.
Inuyasha growled. "Oh no she wont!"
Everyone gave a nervous chuckle at his over-protectiveness.
Kaede coughed. "She will. She needs to."
Kagome sighed. Here we go again. She watched Kaede and Inuyasha go back and forth on the subject. She looked up and her eyes met with Akira's. He was trying to tell her something silently.
"Dammit Kaede! She has to have time for other things!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Like what?!" Kaede shouted back.
Miroku smiled. "I think I know!"
BWAP!
Sango scowled as the hurt monk hit the floor. "Pervert monk."
Kagome sighed. "You guys are giving me a headache." She said, laying back down on her futon.
Kaede smiled. "Ah you must still be a little worn, rest up so that you can train." She said, getting up and walking out of the hut.
Inuyasha growled. "Dont worry, Kagome. You wont have to train a lot." He said, giving her one kiss on the forehead and walking out as well.
Everyone else followed his lead and left the hut. Kagome sighed contentedly then stared up at the ceiling. After defeating Naraku and getting the jewel, Kagome had passed out on the way back to Kaede's village. Inuyasha had raised all hells when she did, and everyone else was equally worried. The wound was almost fully healed now, but she'd have to rest a lot. Only for more work to start. She had to train as a miko, deliver babies and whatnot. Also, she had to squeeze in time for Inuyasha. He had his own babies he wanted to deliver. (hehe)
Kagome's eyes suddenly widened as a scent drifted to her nose. Well, more like stench. It was her! She smelled awful! How could the others take being in the same room as her?! Wait, they were used to this kind of thing. She forgot that she had been laying there for more than a day without a bath, after fighting and getting dirty in blood and dirt.
The stench seemed to worsen. I cant take this anymore! Kagome thought, as she slowly stood up, minding her wound, and walked over to her practically empty yellow backpack. She still had plenty of bathing supplies there.
She walked over to the entrance of the hut, and pulled back the tatami mat. Apparently, everyone had been standing outside the hut, because everyone there looked up with a surprised expression.
Kagome sweatdropped. "I stink."
Inuyasha got up from his sitting position and walked over to her. He started to sniff around her neck and whatnot.
Kagome turned ten shades of red, because everyone was staring at them now. "Osuwari!"
Inuyasha kissed the dirt immediately. "Wench! What'd ya do that for?!"
"It's rude to just sniff someone like that. And you wonder why Kouga called you a mongrel." She said.
Inuyasha resumed his Indian-style position. "Feh."
"Kagome-sama, why dont you just go take a bath in the river?" Miroku suggested.
"I was already on my way to do that."
"You're still injured!" Inuyasha yelled.
Kagome smiled and leaned down to give Inuyasha a peck on the lips. "Dont worry, I'll be fine. The wounds almost healed." She whispered.
Inuyasha seemed reluctant but 'fehed'.
Kagome smiled. "Thanks a bunch!" She yelled, walking in the direction of the river.
Sango smiled. "You really are over-protective, Inuyasha. No wonder she complains."
"You shut up, slayer." Inuyasha mumbled.
Akira suddenly stood up. "Im going to go train, I'll be back around sundown." He said, walking away from them.
Shippo took another lick of his lollipop. "That Akira. He's a weird one, huh?"
Inuyasha's amber eyes narrowed. "Yeah, a weird one."

Akira walked in the forest clearing, black hair swinging carelessly behind him. He had to get this little 'meeting' done quick.
"Where are you?" He asked, loudly. The average person would think that he's gone nuts, talking to air technically, but he was perfectly sane.
It wasn't long before a large mass of dark miasma surrounded Akira.
"Ah, Akira, how good of you to finally come. Day-dreaming about the miko?"
Akira scowled. "Shut up. I refuse to kill her like you planned, Naraku."
Naraku's voice could be heard doing his evil chuckle. "Oh, have you fallen in love with Inuyasha's wench?"
The scowl stayed in place on Akira's face. "That doesn't concern you! You said you wanted Inuyasha and Kagome torn apart, and Im doing that a different way. I need you to cooperate."
If he had a living body, Naraku would've frowned. "Really? Since when did you start calling the shots? What do I have to do?"
"Well, considering you've had the utmost experience tearing people apart, putting ideas into someone's head. Im going to need you do that with Inuyasha."
"Well, Akira, when will I be doing this?"
"Right after Inuyasha's heart is crushed, you'll know when. Convince him to do the worse thing you can think of. Just make sure it doesnt end in Kagome being killed, and the Shikon no Tama is yours along with a new body."
"So, you knew how I intended to get my body back while floating around as a spirit. It seems the simple village boy isn't as dumb as he looks."
Akira raised a brow. "Village-boy? You and I both know I came from no such village. As I recall, you found me walking on the road, and said you'd pay me to do this job."
Naraku made a snorting sound. As to how he did that without a nose, even Im not sure.
"Get the job done, boy. And you'll have all the riches you can possibly dream of." Naraku said, before his miasma-like spirit dissipated. For now.
Akira sighed. "Might as well go get this done." He said, walking away from the clearing and towards the river.

Kagome finally reached the riverside. It had taken her a little longer than it usually would, considering her wound. She plopped down on her knees in front of the river and brung her backpack next to her. She was pulling out shampoo, when she heard a rustling in the bushes.
She quickly whipped her head around. "Who's there?!" She yelled. Now she wishes she had brung her bow or katanna or something.
"It's only me." Akira said, walking out of the bushes.
Kagome smiled at him. "What are you doing here?"
He shrugged. "Im just here, cause I wanna be." He said, taking one step towards her.
"That's nice, I guess."
Akira stepped a little closer to her and Kagome stood up from her kneeling position.
"Kagome, how did you feel about me?"
Kagome stepped closer to him, so that she was only arm's length away from him.
"I feel a lot of things. Why?"
"Cant I ask if Im curious?"
"I guess so."
" 'I feel a lot of things' isn't a direct answer."
"I dont have to give you one, ya know."
Akira chuckled and hooked one arm around her waist. Bringing her closer to him.
"I dont if I liked that answer though." He said, hooking one claw under her chin.
Kagome smiled. "Well, you're just gonna have to deal with it, huh?"
Akira smirked. "I"ll deal with it for you." He said, suddenly pressing his lips against hers in a searing kiss.

Inuyasha tapped his foot impatiently as he waited for Kagome to get back. She had been gone to the river for almost an hour. She never was gone this long before.
Miroku sighed. "Inuyasha, Kagome-sama probably just wanted to be really clean. Patience is a virtue."
Inuyasha growled. "Whatever, monk. She's been gone way too long. Im going." He said, hopping off towards the riverside.
The others watched him go. "Ya think Kagome will clobber him for showing up while she's bathing?" Shippo asked.
Sango sighed. "Probably."
Inuyasha jumped through the area and landed in some bushes. He sniffed around and finally saw her. Except, how he saw her, he barely held back a gasp.

Kagome moaned into Akira's mouth as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Akira's hold on her waist tightened even more as they kissed with fervor.
Akira slightly smirked. He's here. Perfect.
Kagome didn't have hardly a care in the world as Akira started to trail kisses up her neck. This is so wrong... but, it feels so right. She thought, as she fisted a large piece of Akira's hair.
But, at that moment. It was something hat stopped her from continuing.
Something, that in fact, made her stop.
A howl, is what it was.
An animalistic howl.
A howl of sadness.
A howl of rage.
A howl of hurt.
A howl of pain.
A howl of betrayal.
Tragic chapter, eh? It gets even more tragic. Review, you bastards, and keep a lookout for the next chapter of 'The Love Never Dies' Entitled: InuYasha's Betrayal
