I don't own Inuyasha and co.

So you no sue

Couldn't resist no matter how lame!! Ok on with the fic!!!

Kagome and Inuyasha got to the well with no trouble. Kagome was coughing and kept twitching her nose. The city had bad air and her new sense of smell was greatly irritated by all of the pollution, so she was happy when she could be able to get back to the fresh air of the country.

Inuyasha leapt through the well first and Kagome followed. When she got to the other side she saw Inuyasha growling menacingly at Kouga.

"Hand her over you disgusting half breed. I don't even know why she bothers to stay with you when I am so much better!" Kagome smirked at the comment along with Inuyasha.

"Hey, um, Kouga? You might want to take a look." Kagome held up a hand showing five clawed fingers and showed him her ears.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!?!" Kouga screamed at Inuyasha, outraged at the fact that his *cough* Kagome was now a hanyou.

"He didn't do anything, another youkai did. Now, what was that comment about a half breed?" Kagome asked him thoroughly enjoying the moment.

"That doesn't matter now. At least our pups will only be ¼ human." Kagome had look of utter revulsion on her face. "Come with Kagome I can give you so much more." He was attempting to seduce her into coming with him, but it was doing quite the opposite; she was beginning to see how much luckier she was to be traveling with Inuyasha.

Inuyasha was enjoying the show but was now becoming angry at the fact that Kouga was coming on to Kagome and Kagome didn't say anything to reject him. His ears dropped and he began walking away.

"Inuyasha where are you going?" Kagome shouted at the retreating back but he didn't turn around, but on the contrary ran faster.

Kagome chased after him, leaving Kouga standing there.

"Inuyasha! What's wrong?" She could see that he was obviously mad about something.

"Why don't you go back to Kouga." He told her. That hurt Kagome, but she realized that he had interpreted the silence wrong.

"What the hell? I hate him. What he said made me feel sick! How could you think I would want to be with him?" She was getting mad at his ignorance but decided it was best if she stayed calm because if she didn't who knows what Inuyasha would do.

"Oh…um…sorry." He mumbled. Kagome looked at him taken aback at the fact that he had apologized. She giggled and started to drag him back to the place where everyone else had slept.

"Come on…" She told him sweat dropping at his blindness (a/n she's pretty dense to…*-*U)

"Kaede told us of an old women in on of the villages in the south where she might know some information about the scrolls." Sango informed the group.

Along the path to the village, Kagome said the she felt a Shikon no Tamen near by. The person who had it was a fire demon. The area around it was burnt to a crisp and it cackled evilly. Kagome and Inuyasha reached it first. Wanting to test out her new strength and skill she attacked it head on. It easily smashed her into a tree. Inuyasha began growling, partially because of her stupidity and partially because this stupid demon had hurt Kagome.

When Inuyasha attacked he was much more skilled because of years of practice and being alone. When he finished killing he managed to get Kagome to get the Shikon piece but she was badly injured.

"YOU STUPID WENCH! ARE YOU TRYING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED ON PURPOSE!?!" Inuyasha yelled unable to keep the concern out of his voice. "You maybe a hanyou but that doesn't mean you can fight! You need to learn how to fight if you are going to!" He regret saying that.

"Will you teach me then?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha picked her up (Weddin' syle ^o^) and took her back. He had trapped himself in a corner.

"Feh"

Kagome's ears went back and she gave him the puppy look. Inuyasha unfortunately, looked at her feeling her mood change to sad. He saw her face and blushed knowing that she had almost complete control over him.

"Fine…"He grumbled.

"Yeah! Thank-you! You're so sweet!" She said hugging him causing him to blush even more.

Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were all arguing about something when they saw Inuyasha carrying Kagome.

"Oh you're back," Miroku stated. They had been arguing which way Inuyasha and Kagome had gone.

"Yeah and the bitch tried to fight the demon and got hurt. She can't walk, I think she broke her ankle."

"Kagome! Are you ok!" The kitsune rushed over to Kagome who was now leaning against a tree.

"Don't worry about me! I'll be fine!" She smiled.

"Hentai!!!!" Sango shouted at Miroku, and took out her mallet (you know, the one that appears out of thin air ^-^) and began beating Miroku into the ground because of his little groping problem.

"You're just so beautiful! I couldn't resist!" Kagome couldn't help seeing a small blush appear on her cheeks but she kept beating him to a bloody pulp. Meanwhile, Kagome was getting tired and wanted to sleep up in the tree again because she enjoyed the view. She couldn't get up there because of her ankle though.

"Hey um, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked in a quite voice.

"What?"

"Can you help me get up into the tree?" He sweat dropped thinking she was going to say something else.

"Feh, fine" He picked her up gently while Shippo jumped lightly on his shoulder, wanting to sleep with Kagome. He placed her on one of the branches while he jumped a little higher. During the night Inuyasha noticed that Kagome began to shiver. He noticed that she must not have gotten completely turned into a hanyou yet so she hadn't quite gotten used to the cold. After all she was still developing her speed, strength, sense of smell ect.

He covered her in his fire rat kimono and drifted of to sleep watching her stop shivering and smile contently. The next morning they continued their long walk down to the small village in the south. They would stop for 2 hours each day to have Inuyasha teach Kagome how to fight. Kagome and Inuyasha always enjoyed these lessons because it gave them a chance to be close to one another without have to make excuses and the awkwardness after, but of course they never admitted it they liked the sessions. The first day everyone watched with interest as Inuyasha taught Kagome how to fight. After the first couple of days Miroku and Sango no longer watched but instead went off somewhere, but Shippo always stayed to watch them train. They usually stopped by a river and he played there nearby in the shallow water.

Meanwhile…off in the forest Miroku and Sango were enjoying each others company…

"I wonder when Inuyasha is going to admit that he likes Kagome." Sango said her suspicions out loud.

"I donno. I don't think he will…" Miroku was losing thread of the conversation very quickly. He glanced at Sango.

"What's up with you?" Sango gave him an inquisitive look.

"Whatever do you mean my dear?" He said his voice getting its usual charm back and flashing her a bright smile

"Never mind. Come on lets go back." They had been walking for a very long time. From then on whenever they stopped for Kagome to have her lessons they would wander off into the forest and talk about whatever was on their minds.

They had been walking for two weeks and by that time Sango and Miroku were much closer than any one realized.

As for Kagome and her lessons, Inuyasha thought she was a very quick learner. She had some background as a fighter; her father had taught her before he had died (bear with me…^-^). Her movements were now turning from random punching and kicking to the same style as Inuyasha, together they were quite lethal. If Inuyasha ever got into trouble Kagome could hold the demon or whatever until necessary. They had gotten over the basics and Kagome was beginning to learn some kata's (I think that's what their called…I'll check up on that and change it later if it's wrong *-*) off course they were the basics but still it was a start.

"Damn you wench! You learn quicker than I thought!" Inuyasha stated. He was now out of breath. Kagome of course looked like she was about to collapse but was happy at the compliment.

Inuyasha had her beat in strength and skill hands down but Kagome was slowly gaining on him in speed. Her small lithe body could move easily and was very quick. She wasn't in bad shape and nether was Inuyasha. Kagome was no longer losing so quickly because she could dodge Inuyasha's attacks, but he also wasn't using all of his chi. He didn't want to hurt her and Kagome new it. If he used all of his power she would be dead in three seconds flat.

"I'm gonna take a nap." Kagome announced.

"We're not done yet! We still have ten minutes!" Inuyasha told her.

"Don't care." Kagome curled up at the base of the tree and fell asleep. Arguing with an unconscious Kagome wouldn't do any good so Inuyasha gave up also and jumped high into the to keep look out.

He noticed a demon come up to Kagome's sleep form evidently looking for the Shikon no Tama. He was about to stop him when he notice her sleeping form begin to stir so he didn't do any thing and decided to see if Kagome was able to defend herself.

The demon charged at her and she easily moved out of the way. When she tried to attack it caught her by the stomach and shoved her to the ground. She was clearly still a beginner in fighting but that didn't stop her. This time she calmed herself down and got into a fighting stance. When the demon charged she remember one of the lessons that Inuyasha had taught her:

Use their momentum against them, she stepped out of the way just before the youkai hit her and stuck her leg up causing him to trip, and to add insult to injury placed a small hand on his shoved him to the ground. She then spun around waiting for the demon to get up and attack her again. Once again it charged, ready for her to move out of the way, but she didn't. Instead Kagome jumped high into the air and quickly jumping off of its head once again letting it eat the dirt. Kagome was happy that she had injured it that she let her guard down long enough for the youkai to attack her. Luckily Inuyasha noticed this from the sidelines and decided to intervene. He attacked the demon while muttering something about how the fucking wench had let her guard down.

Kagome sat cross-legged out of the way while watching Inuyasha finish of the youkai. Miroku and Sango walked along behind Inuyasha and Kagome and Shippo who was sitting on her shoulder. Shippo and Kagome were talking about nothing in particular; Inuyasha was just staring of onto the path ahead and an uncomfortable silence fell over the pair when all of a sudden:

"Look! We've finally reached the town!" an overexcited Shippo announced to the group.

"Yah!!" everyone but Inuyasha and Miroku cheered. (They were to manly to do that, aka they wanted to impress Sango and Kagome ^-^U) So after 2 weeks they were finally there.
