Return To The Place Where I First Loved You!

A/N: Wow, I never imagined this story would be so long. Anywho, thanks to all my wonderful reviewers!

Disclaimer - I've been forgetting this, huh? Well, if I owned Inuyasha, I'd already have the money to go to college instead of applying for grants and loans.

Chapter 21

Kagome's Decision, Inuyasha's Anger!

Honestly, I never felt the strong hold Naraku had on me until it was almost too late. The voice emanating from him was cruel and unusually angry.

Your friends are next. But there's no way you'll be able to get to them before me. You don't even know where they are.

His presence in my head was causing tremendous pain to shoot through my head.

"Get out!" I shouted, dropping to my knees and holding my hands over my ears.

"Kagome!?"

Inuyasha's voice was faint, even though he was standing right next to me. Anxiously, I concentrated on Naraku and, somehow, forced him out of my head. Breathing heavily, I opened my eyes and dropped my hands to my side just as I felt two strong arms wrap around me. I looked up to see Inuyasha looking at me, worriedly.

"Kagome," he whispered in my ear. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine." Tears filled my eyes. "Inuyasha, he's going after the others. He told me we'd never find them and he's right. Can we at least try though?"

I felt his gaze on me and I stiffened a little in his embrace.

"That-That-." He never finished his sentence for I knew he was going to say something he could regret later and immediately placed my lips over his, silencing whatever was about to come out of his mouth.

"We don't have to, Inuyasha."

What the hell!? Of course we have to, but Inuyasha might not agree.

"Yes, we do, Kagome," I heard him say through grit teeth. "We sure as hell do."

A/N: Yep, ending it here for now. Kagome and Inuyasha still have to get away from Naraku, but how? Anyway, R&R!
