AN: Hello everyone! I'm back! It's the second chapter folks and I have absolutely nothing to say. Don't ya hate that? Well, have a good time reading and please review. Oh and to the people who did… thanks you guys are the best!

DISCLAIMER: You know today I sat myself down took a good long look at life and asked myself the question… "Why couldn't I write Inuyasha?" Then I suddenly had the answer. You wanna know what it is? "Because I can't draw worth a dang." Oh well maybe next time!-the gist to this story? I don't own Inuyasha, no suing.

Last Thing I Wanted

By Wyltk

The rising sun woke her earlier then she would have liked but she was up and dressed in her normal clothes. She had even folded Inuyasha's shirt and laid it in front of his door. Sango was up by that time and was inspecting their supplies having Kagome make a list of what they needed.

"I can go get the supplies, Sango. I'm not really tired and I would really like the exercise." Kagome said with a small pleading smile. And Sango rolled her eyes.

"Alright but take Kirara with you at least." The aforementioned cat demon stretched and moved up to rub against Sango's legs and then moved to Kagome rubbing against hers.

"Thank you, Sango. I'll be alright. I bet I'll even be back before Inuyasha wakes up!"

Kagome smiled and walked out the door, bow and arrow slung over her shoulder along with her back pack. Kirara paced at her side obviously not happy at being out in the snow but more then happy to follow and protect Kagome.

'Let's hope you get back before Inuyasha wakes up or we might have an irate mutt on our hands.'

Kagome had made it to the village fine. In fact, she had gathered the supplies and was heading home when the first signs of trouble started. She had been taking a brake keeping a weary look about her, as Kirara paced restlessly. It should have warned her to move on but she was still tired, no matter what she had told Sango, from the trip and from the lack of sleep. By the time she knew what was happening it was too late to run.

A small demon had found them and had latched itself onto Kagome's ankle twisting it in its mouth and beginning to pull her away. Kirara attacked before it could get any further then three feet, slamming into the creature and roasting it once it was a safe distance from Kagome. The demon was gone in seconds but it didn't leave without a mark.

Kagome's ankle had multiple puncture wounds and it was swelling rapidly. Kagome shook her head and slowly began cleaning her ankle as best she could with some snow. Once she had gotten most of it clean she brought out her First Aid kit and quickly poured rubbing alcohol on it, ignoring the scream that bubbled up as it always did.

She grabbed some bandages out and bandaged it semi-sloppily. She packed snow around that bandages, so the snow didn't get in the puncture wounds, and placed more bandages around it. But when she tried to stand to continue walking the rest of the way back she fell flat.

"Kirara, can I ride back to the hut on you?" she looked at the cat demon as it came over and nuzzled against her. She pulled herself up and Kirara started towards the hut, ignoring the added weight of Kagome and the supplies.

Luckily, very luckily, Inuyasha and Miroku were still sleeping lazily and Shippo and Sango were the only one's to see the loose bandage which had begun to leak watered down blood. Sango immediately helped get her to their room as Shippo started to mop up the melted snow.

It took a few minutes but Sango had tightened the bandage again placing packed snow around it and wrapping it up in a thick blanket to soak up the snow as it melted. After she was done she threw the sleeping bag over her legs and smiled.

"Let's hope Inuyasha doesn't notice. I can tell him you wanted to sleep in today."

"Thank you, Sango." Kagome smiled at her tugging self consciously at her hat. Sango smiled and went out of the room closing the door softly behind her. Kagome could hear her tell Shippo he did wonderfully and then begin to unload the packs.

The peace didn't last long. As soon as Inuyasha woke up she heard him pad into the other room and say something about Sango's soup. Which earned him a hit with what, she assumed, would be a boomerang.

It wasn't two seconds later when she heard him say something and Sango let out a startled protest before he flung himself in the room casting her an evil glare.

"What did you do now wench!"

Kagome, knowing she was caught, lifted the sleeping bag up to reveal her damaged leg.

"It's fine. We just had a little trouble."

"TROUBLE! TROUBLE! YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN OUT THERE ALONE. YOU'RE WAY TO WEAK TO-"

"SIT! Go away, Inuyasha! I don't want to see you! I'm fine, the demon was killed, so leave!"

Kagome glared as he sat up and grabbed her ankle roughly. He began to unwrap it ignoring her moan of pain as he tightened his grip a bit too much. He sniffed hesitantly and his eyes scanned the bite marks once more before he rebandaged them.

"You're lucky. The demon didn't have enough time to poison you." She blinked at him in surprise and smiled at him sweetly.

"You'll probably be dizzy for a while. Feh, your own fault. If you would have been paying more attention and asked me to come with you. Weak human."

He walked out the door and slammed it shut. Shippo who had snuck in came out of his hiding place and walked over to her letting her hug him as she cried into his hair.

AN: Hope you all come back for the next chapter and to help you want to come, a little preview!

It was then that Sango finally asked what had happened in the forest that had taken them so long. And it was then that Kagome explained that a witch had captured Inuyasha and wanted a trade for him, or she would eat him.

"What did she trade for?" Sango asked giving Kagome a weird look.

"Nothing important." Kagome said tilting her eyes past Sango, refusing to meet her eyes.
