July 25

I'm not really sure how me and Inuyasha's fight today actually started but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how it starts honestly, I just felt bad for arguing with him.

We were hanging out with Miroku, Sango, and Shippo this afternoon. Yasha can be so infuriatingly stubborn sometimes, and maybe I do take things too seriously but can you really blame me?

"You're such a jerk!" I yelled at him.

"You guys…" Miroku said, trying to get us to calm down.

"Well, you're just being a bitch!" Inuyasha yelled back.

"Inuyasha, honestly…" Sango also tried.

Inuyasha was so annoying he just made me want to…

"Shut up and sit!" I exclaimed.

All of a sudden he hit the ground. "Damn it, Kagome!"

I hadn't done that intentionally since I'd returned her months ago. I really hadn't meant to do it now and I surprised even myself. Inuyasha was glaring at me and I knew I had crossed a line.

"What the hell, Kagome! What the hell was that for?!" he said as he stood up.

There was so much that I could have said but I didn't want to say anything else out of anger so I turned to walk away.

"Wait a second!" Inuyasha exclaimed, obviously still angry. "I'm not finished with you…!"

Miroku and Sango grabbed him and pulled him back.

"You need to stop," Sango said.

"But she…!"

"Inuyasha, you should really be nicer to Kagome," Miroku said.

"But…!"

"Kagome is right, you're such a jerk," Shippo said. "I'm surprised she married you."

That was all I heard before I got out of earshot. I walked until I reached the other side of the village and I sat in front of the river.

Now that I was alone and had some time to cool off and think I felt terrible. Yes, Inuyasha could be a jerk sometimes. But the same could also be said for me. I always yelled right back at him, that's how it always had been. Both of us were stubborn and didn't want to admit the other was right. He didn't deserve for me to yell at him and he didn't deserve for me to sit him.

I sighed as a few tears spilled from my eyes. I wasn't angry at him anymore. All I wanted was to hug him and tell him I'm sorry but I knew he was probably still mad at me.

"What's wrong?"

I looked up and was very surprised to find Sesshomaru standing in front of me.

"Um, well, Inuyasha and I got into a fight…" I said trying to wipe the tears from my eyes. "It's not a big deal really. I mean, we'll probably make up eventually but I know he's still very mad."

There was a glimmer of something in Sesshomaru's eyes. Could Sesshomaru have really been concerned for me?

"Don't cry over Inuyasha," he said. "You'll work it out and forget all about it."

I had to smile. I couldn't remember the last time Sesshomaru had been so nice to me, if ever. "Thanks."

Then I saw Inuyasha approaching us. When he saw Sesshomaru his face hardened. "What are you doing here?"

"You're an idiot, Inuyasha," Sesshomaru said.

"Keh! You'd be the one to talk!"

"You've left your woman alone crying. Some husband you are."

Inuyasha glanced at me and I saw the guilt flash across his face. Then he glared at Sesshomaru again. "What's it to you?"

"You married her so you'd better treat her right. Or else."

"Are you threatening me?!"

"Your words, not mine."

"Listen, you.. !"

I stood up and walked off. If Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were going to fight then I didn't want any part of it.

After a few minutes, Inuyasha caught up with me and held my hand. "Kagome."

"Are you finished?"

"Yes...well...I'll deal with him later. I'm sorry."

The tears formed in my eyes again and I immediately hugged him. I didn't care why we were fighting at this point. I just wanted him to forgive me. "I'm sorry too, Yasha."

We stood there for a few minutes embracing each other and I finally felt relaxed again.

"I don't mean to yell at you, Kagome. Sometimes I just...I don't know. I guess I just get all worked up for nothing."

"I do the same thing. I'm so sorry sweetheart. I never meant to hurt your feelings...or your face." I looked up at him and ran my fingers across his cheek. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'd almost forgotten what that felt like. Almost."

We've spent most of the evening relaxing and cuddling. I still feel bad for fighting with him, especially after I told myself the last time we had a big fight that I wouldn't anymore. But for now, as Sesshomaru said, we can just forget about it.
