**~~Hi you guys!!!! Yay..one review..come on, I need
more!!!!!! So review!!!! ~~**
==========Chapter four===========
Kikyo was walking around the woods, when Naraku appeared in front of her with a mischievous smile.
"What do you want Naraku" Kikyo asked coldly, "if you're thinking of killing me, there is no point. I'm already dead and miserable"
"I am not here for that, but to join you kill InuYasha and destroy his friends..." he replied, "well..um, seeing that we both hate InuYasha..I was thinking of us joining as one force. For you know more about him, his strength and weaknesses . And I have power"
Kikyo stopped walking, "No! I shan't join forces with my enemy!"
"Well Kikyo. Think about it. It's not as if I asked you to join because I like you...But if having your help means that I can kill InuYasha, then..why not?"
~And I could kill InuYasha then kill you~ he thought.
"I am too weak .. to help you"
"It is easy to give you strength! I am a powerful man and have a lot of magic. If souls are what you need, I have plenty of them .... so, what do you say?" he asked
"....."
"Well, like I said, think about it" he said and then disappeared.
~ If I join him ... I can kill him after I kill InuYasha ...~ She thought.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What's wrong with InuYasha today?" Kagome asked Miroku.
"Ahhh, I see that you don't know.."
"Don't know what?!" she asked.
"Today, there will be no moon, thus InuYasha shall turn into human " Miroku replied.
"But we're looking for the jewels today...we need his help..as a demon!"
The monk shrugged, "can't do anything about that, can he?" " Oh...poor InuYasha..so much responsibility" Kagome said quietly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome went out in search of InuYasha, she knew that he was either wandering somewhere around the forest, up on a branch of a tree, somewhere teasing Shippo, or...somewhere ...
"Ah", she found him sitting ...in the middle of the field.
"InuYasha?" she called, nothing. She called again and again, but still no answer.
She stormed up to him, she was pissed. Since today he had not been answering her. Always thinking about something.
"InuYasha!" she yelled pulling his hair, "you're not answering me!!!!!!"
"OW!!! Let go of my hair!" he yelled back, pulling his hair away, "baka" he mumbled.
" You've been acting strange lately..."
"Haven't you heard?!" he barked at her.
"Oh yah.."
"Stupid girl. Yah, and today is when we're off to find that Shikon Jewel Shards"
"Well, we'll get through..." then Kagome stopped talking and looked somewhere and stood up waving,
"Kouga! Hi!!!"
"Shit" he muttered, "it's that baka here again"
"Hey Kagome!" replied Kouga racing up to her and giving her a hug.
"Don't touch her" InuYasha said dryly.
"Oi, you're with this dog, kagome? You shouldn't be wasting your time with him" Kouga said.
"Oh, why don't you just shut up you stupid wild wolf guy" InuYasha said coldly.
"Hey, I'm here to see Kagome, not you. K?"
"Feh, whatever", InuYasha stood up and crossed his arms.
"Um, I'd like to talk to her in private"
"Nani? You have some relationship going on between you two that can't be known by me?"
"InuYasha, please. It's just a little friendly chat we're going to have for a few minutes" Kagome asked nicely.
"Yah, me and Kagome do have a relationship going on if you don't mind. It's not as if she's yours. She's more mine than yours, since I love her, but you don't even think of her, only as a jewel shard detector" Kouga said.
"Nani?! Kagome! You never told me you had a thing for this wolf man!!" InuYasha growled.
Kagome sweatdropped. "Hehe.....Kouga, we don't have a relationship going. You know that..right? We're just friends. InuYasha, we're just friends. Kouga's just joking"
"No I'm not. I love her. You have a problem with that dog ears?"
"Guys, please" Kagome begged.
"Yah, I do have a problem. You can't go around saying that she's yours if she doesn't care for you!" InuYasha yelled back.
They starred at each other angrily.
"You care for me, right Kagome?" Kouga asked
"DO you?!!" InuYasha asked.
"Well, I care..not in the way you want me to, though Kouga...um, but I do care1"
"SEE!" Kouga said, " she does care!"
"First I find out that you're nuts, and now I find out that you're both stupid and deaf!!!! She said, she meant, that she doesn't care for you!!!!!"
"Ahahah....guys...hehe, come on. Let's get along!" She begged again.
"Humph, whatever" said InuYasha, breaking off the fight and walked away. "Come on Kagome, let's get going"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
They reached the temple late at night where the demon who possessed the shikon jewel was said to be.
"I could sense the jewels" Kagome said, looking around the area.
"And I can't sense anything" InuYasha mumbled. The night had no moon. InuYasha's hair had turned black, he was human.
"Come on InuYasha. It can't be that bad" Shippo said.
"Haha ,... is that a joke or something?" InuYasha asked.
"No it's not" he replied.
"Baka" InuYasha mumbled.
"I too can sense something" Sango told Kagome and Miroku as InuYasha and Shippo continued to argue.
"The demon is said to be invisible" Miroku said.
"GREAT! Just what I needed!" InuYasha said in annoyance.
"Hmmm, this is going to be a tough fight" Sango said.
"Yu..yu..yup" Kagome said,
~Ghosts? Was the demon a ghost? Oh man, I'm scared of ghosts!!!!~
"You all right?" Inuyasha asked.
"I-I am so afraid of ...ghosts" she replied.
"Oh, great! Now I find that someone is afraid of the demon we are to face!" he said in annoyance, "here, take this" he said taking off his red Haori robe.
"B-but, you'll need it for protection since you're now human" Kagome said.
"Hey, just because I'm human doesn't mean I'm weak. OK!" he said, wrapping the robe around her.
Sango and Miroku switched glances. "Did you see what I saw?" Sango mouthed. Miroku nodded.
They continued to walk towards the temple. Kagome heard a noise behind her and shrieked.
"I heard something behind me!" she cried.
"It was Shippo" InuYasha replied dryly, "you freak" he added, trying to show that he did not care for Kagome. Whenever he felt..this feeling he had never felt before, this feeling that made his heart feel warm when he thought of Kagome...kind of the way he had felt about Kikyo( and still tried to feel that feeling for the Kikyo that was trying to kill him), but the way he felt for Kagome was different...but it wasn't as if he loved her... When he felt this feeling, it felt as if he were deceiving Kikyo..~I know I would again feel that warm feeling I had felt for Kikyo long ago..only if she forgives me. Right now, her heart is too set against me. I must change that...I love Kikyo...~
"Haha... I knew that..." said Kagome with a blush.
Suddenly, InuYasha fell to the ground with a grunt.
"InuYasha?" everyone said in unison.
"Something kicked me!" InuYasha replied, standing back up, but seemed to have been hit by something and flew back hitting a tree.
"InuYasha!" cried Kagome, running towards him.
"Stay back!" he shouted at her.
InuYasha stood and took out his sword,
"Great, I can't smell anything with in this damn human form" he muttered.
He cautiously scanning the area, he heard a rustling behind him. ~At least humans could hear~ He swung his sword around, it seemed to have hurt the demon for he heard the demon scream. However, it did not have seemed to have killed the demon. It continued to kick and cut Inuyasha .
Kagome saw a little bit of blood showing off the invisible demon. She targeted the demon with her arrow and shot it. It gave a loud horrifying scream and both the demon and the arrow disappeared.
"I don't think that this demon is dead...be alert" InuYasha said, his forehead bleeding and a deep gash on his shoulders as he limped towards the temple.
"Stop starring at me! I'm ok!" he said in annoyance.
They silently followed behind him, everyone noticing blood visible on his white robe.
~I shouldn't have accepted his Haori~ sadly thought Kagome. She was afraid that the demon would come back so she took the haori robe off and ran up to InuYasha and threw the robe over his head and walked ahead.
"Don't even think about giving that Haori back to me!" she said.
InuYasha knew when he'd loose a fight, and these were one of the times.
"Hai" he mumbled , ~ now I have to keep an even closer watch over her since she no longer have any protection besides her arrows~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sango and Kagome washed and bandaged InuYasha's wounds, while Miroku and the rest just watched as InuYasha continued to curse, ~why does everyone have to be watching !~
"There, all done" said Kagome.
"Do you feel better, InuYasha?" Sango asked
"Feh, whatever...yah" he said and stubbornly added, "thanks"
"I hope I'm the one to get hurt next time" said Miroku.
They all lifted an eyebrow at him in question.
"I mean, look at InuYasha! He is the center of attention by two pretty ladies!"
They all sweatdropped.
"If you got wounded, Miroku. I'd leave you to rot" Sango said .
"Guys, I'm gunu go out and get a bucket of water to clean up all the blood here" said Kagome.
"I'll go with you" InuYasha said, getting up and slightly twitching at the pain it caused to move.
"Na, I'm going ta go by myself. Sango, you take care of InuYasha. Ok?"
"Sure" answered Sango.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I'm not going to go face those people again! You said they were harmless, but they are!" said the invisible demon.
"You fool! I said that I would give you this last jewel shard I have and now you can not have it! You did not accomplish what I asked of you, to kill InuYasha!" Kikyo said.
"Heh, it's not worth my precious life!" it replied and then left.
"Baka!" she screamed, ~now I must summon another demon..but which? Takashi...~ she thought, Takashi was very powerful.. But would she help? Takashi was a demon spirit that could enter anyone's body and control them. Kikyo summoned Takashi.
"Takashi! If you do a favor for me and kill InuYasha, I will give you the last of the jewel shards I have"
"And how many is that?" Takashi asked, transforming into a visible form.
"One"
"One!!! To risk my life and kill InuYasha?!"
"Why not? Are you not against the half demon who goes against his own type? If you do not kill him now, he will kill you some day!" Kikyo said coldly.
"Hai, who's body do you want me to controle to do this job?" Takashi asked.
~Hm...who does InuYasha seem to care for most? Thus, he wouldn't want to harm that person..~ Kikyo thought and the answer that immediately came to her aroused an angry, jealous feeling.
"Kagome..."
