**~~ Hi people. Those of you who have watched many of the Japanese version
of InuYasha will notice that my story is changing the plot of how InuYasha
meets Kikyo again after she fell off the cliff. But please, bear with me.
===========Chapter eight=========
Everyone except Shippo was under the tree eating Ramon for breakfast.
"Since we're near the village now, we can use Kirara to fly over to the well, we need more supplies and I have to study for a test coming up" Kagome said.
"Eh? You're leaving?" InuYasha repeated angrily.
Kagome gasped and moved close to Inuyasha who looked at her as if she were mad and backed away.
"Huh?"
"Aw" Kagome said holding her hands, "InuYasha doesn't want me to go. He wants me to stay cuz he'll miss me"
"EEEEEEH?! NO!!! I- I- ..... just wanted to know if I heard right! Go for all I care!"
Shippo came running along,
"Waaaaa! You guys forgot about me!!!!!" Shippo cried.
"Eh? I never noticed you were gone" InuYasha said.
"Where were you?" Kagome asked.
"I went to wash up!And all the food is almost gone now!!!!"
"Keh, well too bad. Stop whining brat "InuYasha snapped at him.
"Oi! InuYasha! Don't be so rude! Shippo, I saved you some food. I noticed you were gone. Don't listen to InuYasha" Kagome said.
"Keh. Whatever" said InuYasha as he picked Shippo up by the tail.
"InuYasha, you should know when to stop teasing!" Sango said.
InuYasha dangled Shippo high up in the hair.
"Let go of me dog face!"
"Nani?!" Inuyasha yelled, bringing Shippo higher up in the air.
"InuYasha!" Kagome said angrily.
"Fox fire!" Shippo yelled as blue flames came out of his mouth. Everyone turned and stared at InuYasha who's face was turned black.
".....Baka!!!!!! You stupid asshole!!!!" InuYasha yelled dropping Shippo and rubbing the black off his face. He reached down and picked Shippo up and was about to through him when Kagome "sat" him.
BAM!
"K.kkkk...Kagome!!! What the hell was that for?!" Inuyasha yelled in anger.
"So that you wouldn't hurt Shippo!"
"Keh, he wouldn't get hurt! He'd fly safely to land, and anyway if I threw him, he'd just bounce on the ground with his furry ass"
"It's not a furry ass! It's my tail!" cried Shippo.
"Your ass ,your tail, what's the diff? Your tail is on your ass so.."
"I-NU-YA-SHA!!!!! URUSAI!!!!(shut up)" Kagome yelled.
"Ya ya" InuYasha muttered and walked off.
"Psh, what's wrong with him today" Shippo muttered.
Miroku sighed, "I believe that the fact that Kagome is leaving back to her world made him a bit upset" he whispered.
"Na-nani?! Kagome, you're going back to your world!!!!! I'm gunu miss you!!!" Shippo cried.
Sango, Kagome, and Miroku sweat dropped. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~Even if Kikyo has not planned anything to harm InuYasha, I shall. I need to find out more of his strength and weaknesses. Now that Kikyo no longer targets death at him, she will not tell me anything about him. Baka. At least she'll help me destroy that girl, the Shikon detector. That would be very useful~ Naruku thought.
Kagome sighed, "I wanna go home"
"Will you quit saying that?! You've bin saying that for the past couple of hours, dammit !" InuYasha said in annoyance.
"But I do want to go home " she murmured.
Sango looked around the small village. The villagers stared at Kagome,
"Strange girl. I bet she's a youkai (demon)" said a man with gray hair.
"Eh?!" Kagome cried looking around, "I'm not a demon!!!!!
"Look at her strange clothe. 'Tis definitely a Youkai" said another villager.
"But she looks harmless " said another.
Kagome walked on with mumbling to herself.
They all sat on a hill to rest before moving on.
"You guys wait here" said Sango , "me Shippo, and Miroku are going to go get us some snacks"
"Yah" replied Miroku and seeing that Shippo did not reply, " RIGHT shippo?" he asked nudging him.
"Huh? O, OH YAH!! Ha ha. You and InuYasha stay together and have a nice intimate time...."
"SHIPPO!" hissed Sango and Miroku, "Hehe, catch ya later Kagome, InuYasha"
They ran and hid behind a bush to spy on Kagome and InuYasha. Miroku kicked Shippo.
"When I told you NOT to act suspicious and give out that we're tryin ta let them have a moment together. I MEANT IT!!! BAKA!"
"Hm.....that was strange" Kagome muttered.
"They're up to something.....can't you sense it?" InuYasha asked.
"Yah....."
"InuYasha....I know it's a kind of a random quest....but-why do you always try to hide your emotions....or always think that having emotions is bad?"
InuYasha looked away, feeling a little shocked at the question. ~ Why does she want to know?~
~ I wish I knew more about him, everything deep in his dark heart...~ Kagome thought.
"Be-because....emotions get in the way. It makes someone weaker . Like my parents. My dad was a strong youkai, but he destroyed himself by trying to protect my weak human mother from a monster. And...when I met Kikyo, she made me lower my defenses, and have feelings.....she wouldn't have died as she did if it had not been for me" he said bitterly. ~ If I had not lowered my defenses and fell in love with her, I would never have made me and her the target of Naraku~
Kagome read his mind and turned away. "You must have loved her a lot as to say such thing of wishing you had not been in love with her....in order to protect her"
~But if I had never fell in love with her, I would have never met....you~ thought InuYasha. ~ If I hadn't fell in love with her I would have got the Shikon jewel~ InuYasha bit his lips in anger, what kind of thought was that? Trade his love for Kikyo for the Shikon jewel.....sometimes he wanted the answer to be no, but sometimes he craved for the Shikon jewels more than Kikyo's love. ~ No, Kikyo is way more precious~ he scolded.
"Yah...i guess" he said absent mindedly
"Oh " Kagome said sadly.
He turned around and looked at her, "what's with this sad face" he asked, kind of annoyed.
"Oh, nothing" she said trying to be cheerful. ~Why Kagome, WHY did I have to..have feelings for this guy!!!!! At least....I'm not in LOVE with him...but maybe I'm a LITTLE bit in love with him~
Suddenly, they felt the earth tremble. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo came running towards them.
"Did you guys feel that?!" Shippo said, "Is there an earthquake?!"
They all turned around to something big coming towards them. As it came closer, it became clearler that it was a gigantic human looking Youkai holding a large, spiked, club.
"Stay back you guys" InuYasha growled, "I can take care of this...this is Naraku's Youkai"
"Tetsusaiga!!!!" yelled InuYasha as his sword started to shine as he cut the youkai up in half.
"Kah, that was easy"
"INUAYSHA! WATCH OUT!!!" cried Kagome as the Youkai that was split into two became two separate youkai's.
"Huh?" InuYasha slowly turned around as a the large club swung hard at him. InuYasha flew backwards and landed hard on the floor, blood streaking down his face. InuYasha stood back up and grunted in pain. He picked up his Tetsusaiga with his right hand and ran towards the two Youkais. A bee buzzed high above them looking at every single move InuYasha did.
------ ~Hmmmm, InuYasha picked up his sword with the right hand~ thought Naraku looking into his looking glass, ~ I wonder how he would fight if he lost control of his right?~ . "Rogda" Naraku called at his Youkai, " try to break his right arm" ------
InuYasha was high in the air, ready to strike one of the youkai when another from behind came and swung it's club and hit InuYasha's right arm.
Kagome, Miroku, Shippo, and Sango looked on in shock.
"I don't think he's in his normal state anymore!" cried Shippo.
InuYasha fell hard, and unsteadily stood up. "You bitch. Is that the best you can do? Swing that friggin club of yours?!"
"But his talking is still the same" Miroku mumbled.
~Not good~ thought InuYasha, ~ the bones in my right hands are crushed~ He picked the sword up again, but this time in his left. ~ My right hand is the guiding hand. My left doesn't have as much skill as my right. Shit~
He ran up at it again and smashed the Youkai up, only for it to turn into more Youkai's.
"SHIT!" InuYasha hissed.
"InuYasha!" Kagome cried, "go for the one on the right end InuYasha! Go for his heart, I see a Shikon jewel there, it might destroy them all if you destroy that one !"
"Hai" he said angrily. He ran towards the one Kagome told him to go for and was about to kill it when a club smashed him to the ground. It pulled the club high into the air and brought it down hard onto InuYasha. It lifted it high up again, ready to bring it down again, when..
"InuYasha!" Kagome cried as she shot an arrow beside him as a pink light appeared and acted as a shield against the blow.
Sango got her boomerang and through it at the youkai with the Shikon jewel while it wasn't paying attention, it hit him at the hard as all the Youkai's crumbled up.
------- ~Hmmmmmm, that girl- Kagome. She's stronger than I thought she was. More than a Shikon jewel detector. She's more of a problem than I thought~ Thought Naraku as he watched Kagome running towards InuYasha with tears streaking down her face. ~She cares for him deeply...~ , he watched as she ran over to his side of the unconscious InuYasha. ~ Surely he cares for Kagome more than I thought InuYasha to...~ -------
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"InuYasha, you feeling better?" Kagome asked worriedly.
"Yah..." he replied , "a- are .. You alright?"
~ He wants to know if I'm alright? Then..he must care at least a bit for me...~
"Yah, everyone's ok, except you"
"I'm fine" he replied.
Silence
"When are you leaving to your world?" he asked.
"Um, well I can't leave until you're better" Kagome replied.
"I'm fine, really" ~Does he want me to leave him? Is that why he's saying he's fine, so I would leave?~ Kagome sadly questioned.
~I don't want Kagome to stay here right now. I'm not strong enough to protect her. It would be best if she left soon~ InuYasha thought,
"Go...go as soon as you can" he said.
"K.... I'll be back in three days" Kagome replied quietly, "sayonara"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome was sitting on the swing staring at the ground and thinking. ~ He wanted me to leave...he made me leave as soon as possible. Am I such a bother to him?~
"Kagome-chan?" a short haired girl asked, "you look dazed"
"Huh? Oh, no , nothing" Kagome replied as her school friends looked at her worriedly.
" Your grandpa said that you had pollution syndrome and was rushed to the hospital. Are you alright?" said a curly haired girl.
"Yah...." Kagome replied in her dazed state.
"KA-GO-Me! I know what you're thinking about!"
"Huh? What?"
"You're thinking of that bad ass boyfriend of yours!!!!!"
"But your boyfriend is hot" said one of her friends recalling the time when they went over to her house to see InuYasha, but then he quickly disappeared, "but he wore this weird clothe...and he did look violent though"
"N-no...i wasn't"
"Yah, you were. What happened between you guys?"
"Nothing...really" Kagome whispered, her heart ripping apart. ~ He doesn't love me....of course, baka, he loves Kikyo. A person can only love once...but if he can love again, the second love would be duller than the first. Nani? Why am I talking about love?~
"Kagome-chan, you really are in love with him. I saw many people in a crush, but....the look you have when you think of him is so much different from a crush on a guy. You really do love him.....but...too bad the guy you love is a two timing whore"
"Yah....he's going out with you, but he can't get over his ex...do you think he has a crush on you but loves his ex girlfriend?" said one of Kagome's slow minded friend.
Kagome stood up, her face darkened as she walked away home. "Brat!" said the short haired girl, "Why the hell did you say that?!!!"
"Huh? What did I say?! ...Oh....oh no.."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome fell back on her bed and sighed in grief. "InuYasha" she murmured.

******End of Flashback****
~Do I..do..do I really love him? I know I care for him....but do I love him? Is that why my heart beats so fast when he's around. Is that why I want to tear my heart out of the pain it creates when I see his sad face when he thinks of Kikyo, when I remind myself that he really, truly loves Kikyo.....and when he admits that he loves her?"
*****Flashback*****
"You must have loved her a lot as to say such thing of wishing you had not been in love with her....in order to protect her" Kagome asked.
