Eeek this isn't going to be good I can already tell, but anyway I REALLY TRULY apologize for not updating. I wont make an excuse I lost interest for a day or two for some reason and then totally forgot about it, none of you know me but I have "The" worst memory of all time, thank you to Undying dreamer who reminded me that I should update and now I have..Yay . *looks around to see that no one is clapping* well...yes on with the story!



"I'm sick of looking after you like you're a five year old Kagome" Inu Yasha Growled underneath his breath.

"I never asked you to looking after me, and I damn well don't need you to either" Her words were bitter and angry though of course it had no effect what so ever on Inu Yasha, not much ever did. Her eyes wandered across his face, she could tell right away just by looking at his eyes that he was quite angry and for a second she thought she saw his eyes flicker red. His face could be read as also nothing but anger and that was quite certain. But Kagome was not frightened by his anger, slowly she lifted her good hand to his face, her fingers lightly touching his cheek and her thumb lay gently upon his jaw, slowly she caressed his soft skinned cheek, smiling vibrantly.

"Why are you smiling?" He growled, but made no mention at all of her hand that was gently stroking his cheek, in fact his growl sounded a bit more like he was purring.

"You care" her answer was so simple and he could not figure her out he tilted his head quizzically, her quiet laughter suggested to him that this gesture was cute in which case he quickly cocked his head back upwards.

"Of course I-" He froze up, somehow he was just about to admit he had FEELINGS for her even if they were just friendly, of course he thought he had almost made the biggest mistake of his life. No matter what happened he promised himself that he would absolutely not let himself tell her that he cared. Kagome however had a different opinion and gave him a weird look of confusion, she couldn't understand why he had stopped in mid-sentence when he was about to say something so great to her, something that would mean so much.

Swiftly Inu Yasha jumped to his feet as Kikyou became visible, from the high ferns that covered the bottom of the ancient forest. She stepped forward and did not even glance at Kagome once as she spoke calmly to Inu Yasha, Batting her eyes and looking somewhat upset although she certainly did not sound it.

"Where did you go?" She asked innocently, her eyes staring straight into Inu Yasha's. She pried into his thoughts and enjoyed every minute of seeing him squirm under the intense mental strain, of choosing between the two of them, Kikyou and Kagome. But Kikyou had nothing to worry about, no she knew that Inu Yasha would choose her over Kagome wouldn't he? ...After a minute or so of though Inu Yasha finally stood up. Kagome's hand fells back into her lap and her eyes followed her hand. She knew what was going to come.

"I'm sorry, I should of brought you with me or at the very least I should have sent Shippo back after you, I'm very sorry Kikyou, do you forgive me? "

"Of course I forgive you" She said and smirked and looked down at Kagome who was sitting on a rock starting at the "bandage" wrapped around her wrist. Kagome did not need to look up to know that Kikyou's eyes were upon her. A cold chill ran down her spin and she shuddered. She let out a soft sigh. Again in the battle for Inu Yasha's attention she had been defeated. Without the notice of him she slowly crawled away, with hopes of finding Shippo.



Well unfortunately that all for now I promise I'll update again tomorrow I PROMISE!!!
