Kagome snuggled up even closer to Inuyasha and smiled faintly.
"How can I not love you Inuyasha? It seems you still have my heart"
It was true that Kagome was developing feelings for Miroku, but at this moment her love for Inuyasha was unmistakable! Yes she was Jealous of Kikyo but nothing else mattered to Kagome at this moment because she was with Inuyasha, and for the first time it seemed that he was actually being serious with her. Inuyasha hugged her even tightly and leaned in to kiss her, but was stopped by Kagome's hand blocking his lips from hers.
"Whats the matter Kagome? You don't want to do this?"
"I just told you I love you Inuyasha…. Don't you have anything to say?"
"Of course" Inuyasha backed away.
"Then say it!"
"I…. "
"What wrong? Why is it so hard for you!"
"Its not Kagome, I… love you" Inuyasha said so quietly that Kagome strained to hear him.
"What did you say?"
"I said that I love you too Kagome"
Kagome could do nothing but smile. Inuyasha loved her, and she finally heard him say exactly what she always wanted to hear from his on mouth. Still in the back of her mind she thought of Kikyo. No doubt Kikyo still had Inuyasha's love too, but she hadn't seen Inuyasha with Kikyo since a very long time. Maybe he has more love for Kagome than he does Kikyo now! Kagome sighed. Could she trust Inuyasha to stay with her, even if Kikyo was willing to return to him all of a sudden out of the blue? Inuyasha looked at Kagome and could almost sense what she might be thinking, he pulled her body against his. Kagome blushed and looked away. Inuyasha found her lips with his. He slipped his tongue in between her lips and gently caressed her back trying not to scratch her.
"Inu…yasha" Kagome heard footsteps coming from somewhere around the trees around them.
"It is nothing Kagome" Inuyasha said not wanting to stop.
"Miroku"
Inuyasha looked up at the sound of his name.
"What do you want monk?"
Miroku seemed to be at a lost for words and was stunned at what he had walked in to. He didn't expect to see the half-demon and Kagome, and especially not in this way. He looked away immediately hurt by what he was seeing. The woman he loved with the half-demon once again. Kagome gently pushed against Inuyasha's chest as if silently telling him to let her go, but Inuyasha continued to hold her tightly refusing her wish. The monk tried his best to hide what he was feeling.
"I was looking for my staff Inuyasha… .. you must know where it is!" said the monk irritably.
"Keh… what makes you think I know where your stupid staff is!"
"Well, I had it before you hit me so of course you know!"
"Oh well you are right Miroku!" Inuyasha smirked, "I did do something with it. It should be at the bottom of the river by now!
Kagome closed her eyes wanting to disappear, Inuyasha wouldn't let her go and she felt terrible she knew that the monk surely was hurt by this picture after having her in his own arms just a few hours ago.
"YOU THREW IT IN THE RIVER?"
"WHY NOT IT WAS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR IT!", Inuyasha was getting angry now and didn't know that he was hurting Kagome.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome tore away from his arms with tears in her eyes, and just wanted to be away from both Inuyasha and Miroku. They were fighting because of her and she couldn't stand it anymore. "If it wasn't for me they would probably have no problems!" She thought.
"Wait Kagome! I didn't mean to!" Inuyasha called after her.
The monk stood there in anger.
"Well, Well, Inuyasha you had to go and make Kagome cry!"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY MONK!"
"Ha you know exactly what I said!"
Kagome sat on the edge of the well and heard her name being called out.
"Shippo what are you doing out here by yourself?"
"Whats wrong Kagome?" Shippo asked ignoring her question.
"I don't even know.. I just need some time to think is all" She said trying to look happy, but she could tell the little fox demon wasn't buying it. He jumped up to sit beside her on the well.
"We can think together!"
Kagome laughed.
"Sure Shippo why not."
Kagome hair started to move out of place suddenly by a wind, and the trees swayed in their response. It wasn't much wind like this before. She looked at Shippo who was looking around frantically.
"Its just the wind Shippo, nothing more" but Kagome was wrong and before she could do anything else she felt a strong pair of arms grab her! Shippo sat in horror not able to save her.
Meanwhile:
"What wrong with you two?" Sango asked when she saw Miroku and Inuyasha both looking furious at each other as they returned.
"The only thing wrong here is this idiot who lost Kagome in the woods!"
"WHAT MONK SAY THAT TO MY FACE!"
"YOU HEARD ME FROM THEIR I DON'T WANT TO GET IN YOUR FACE!"
"WELL THAT'S ALRIGHT WITH ME, I'LL GET IN YOURS THEN." Inuyasha charged for Miroku intending to cause him serious bodily harm, but immediately stopped after Sango jumped between them.
"I have a feeling what this is about, and you two are ridiculous"
"What?" Inuyasha and Miroku said at the same time.
"Don't play dumb with me.. I know all about your issues! You both need to get over it right now! Besides we need to be figuring out Naraku's whereabouts not fighting each other!"
"Sango is right" The monk said secretly relieved that Sango had stepped in front of Inuyasha when she did.
The half-demon nodded his head.
"INUYASHA! SANGO! MIROKU! KOHAKU! KAGOME IS GONE AND I COULDN'T SAVE HER!" the little fox demon said while dropping to the ground out of breath.
"Who took her?" Miroku said with obvious worry in his voice.
"I couldn't see it happened so fast. All I know is it got really windy and then all of a sudden she was gone! Its all my fault!"
"No it wasn't Shippo you didn't know what was happening" Sango assured him.
"Kagome" Inuyasha said as if somehow by calling her name she would appear but she did not.
There were bruises on her arms and she had a terrible headache. She looked around the thick darkness and couldn't see anything. She was trembling, her clothes had been removed and she was sitting in some hot water. She could not remember how she got there or what had happened.
"Where am I! Is anyone in here with me?" Kagome waited for a response, but there was not a sound.
