"I do not own Inu Yasha, 'cause if I did Cartoon Network wouldn't have replaced Inu
with that stupid other show! Where do these people get off?! How am I supposed to live without
seeing Inu Yasha before I go to bed? What is the deal? I need Inu! Come back! *Sob*" Ryoko
says and starts to bawl like a baby.
~Three years later~
Ryoko is still sobbing like a baby. A Cartoon Network Employee walks over and hits her
on the head.
"Here! We put Inu Yasha back on the midnight run! Happy! Now get back to work!" the
employee says pointing to the computer. Ryoko stops crying and writes the rest of this stupid
fanfiction, then hands it to the employee. The employee smiles evilly.
"Wha-what are you smiling about?" Ryoko says.
"We put Inu Yasha back on TV, but we don't have any new episodes! Muwahahaha!"
"No!" Ryoko screams as the employee runs back into the building and locks the door.
Ryoko looks around and, seeing nobody else around, wacks herself in the head with her giant
hammer.
(Hey, somebody had to get hit over the head with the giant hammer!)
____________________________________________________________________________ __
Kagome stomped into her room in an angry stupor. Slamming the door shut Kagome
leaned against the door frame and slowly slid to the floor. She tried to think about anything but
the scene she had just witnessed, but her mind kept straying back to the picture of Inu and
Mirada kissing. Why the heck should I care? she wondered angrily, he's not my boyfriend, he
can go and make out with who ever the heck her wants. I don't give a damn!
Then why does it hurt so much? asked a little voice in the back of her mind. And with
that, Kagome broke down and cried into her knees, sobbing helplessly until her stomach hurt and
she was completely exhausted.
Inu had his back to the windows as he sat in the tree, but he couldn't block out the sound
of Kagome's sobs. With each one, he physically flinched, feeling as though someone had kicked
him in the stomach.
After a while, Kagome finished crying and stood up. She knew she couldn't stay here any
longer. I have to go, she thought morbidly, I just can't take this. Silently, Kagome began packing
her things into her duffel bag, unaware that Inu was watching from the window.
I can't let her go running home, not this time, he thought. After what she saw today she
might never come back...I might never see her again. Inu felt panic rise into his throat but tried
to hold it back, he was going to need a clear head to face Kagome right now.
Inu quietly jumped from his tree branch to the window ledge, then into the room.
Kagome knew he was there but didn't turn to look at him. She wasn't sure she could bare seeing
him right now, and she didn't want to break down and cry in front of him. Inu took a few steps
forward and put a tentative hand on Kagome's shoulder. She angrily brushed it off. Inu looked at
the floor. This is going to be harder than I thought, he reflected. He stepped back and cleared his
throat.
"Kagome, where are you going?" he asked calmly so that Kagome didn't know that he
was beating his soul on this conversation.
"Home, if you even care," Kagome snapped. Inu felt panic rising again and was having a
hard time holding it back I need more time! Inu thought desperately. I need time to convince her
that I'm sorry and to let her calm down!
"Kagome, you can't just go running through a demon forest in the middle of the night.
It's dangerous."
"I can handle myself just fine thank you."
"Kagome-chan wait! I swear, I'll take you home in the morning, but it's too dangerous
tonight. Just wait until tomorrow," Inu pleaded. Kagome turned around and stared at him. Inu
silently prayed she still trusted him enough to give him one night. And, against her own better
judgment, Kagome did. She was still to angry to speak to Inu, but she put her duffel bag down
and slid into the bed, her back to Inu. Inu tried to hide his sigh of relief.
That night, Inu slept on the floor without fighting with Kagome. Reason one being he
probably would have ended up on the floor even if he had fought her, and reason two being he
really didn't want to get slapped again. Of course, the floor was hard and Inu would have much
preferred the tree by the window, but he was a little bit afraid that if he left the room Kagome
would change her mind and run off.
Then he'd never see her again...
Inu tossed and turned all night, and though Kagome was deeply asleep, she wasn't doing
much better. Inu was half asleep when he heard a strange sob coming from Kagome's bed. Inu
came fully awake in a moment, being the fighter that he was he was instantly assessing the room
for danger, but nothing was out of place. Shippo was sleeping contentedly on the small bed
opposite Inu. The little demon was lying on his back, his mouth slightly agape and snoring in a
way that sounded a bit like a puppy's bark. Inu could see Kagome's outline under the covers. Inu
sighed in relief and lay back down, thinking that he had dreamt whatever that noise had been.
But in another moment he heard it again. This time he was awake and able to trace the
noise back to its source, Kagome's bed. Inu stood up and gently padded across the room and sat
on the edge of Kagome's bed, looking down into her slumbering face. Kagome was frowning in
her sleep and tossed and turned.
She must be having a nightmare, Inu thought to himself as Kagome let out a heart
wrenching sob. Tears dribbled down Kagome's face and met with the ones that had already
soaked into her pillow. Did I cause this? Inu wondered strickenly. Inu placed a hand on
Kagome's shoulder, not sure what he was going to do, and Kagome opened her eyes with a gasp.
Dazed and disoriented, Kagome threw herself away from the blurry apparition in front of
her. Inu was knocked back by the force of Kagome's movement, but was able to regain his
balance and stay on the bed because of his demonically good coordination and balance. Kagome
was still sobbing slightly and shivering against the wall, Inu reached out a hand to toucher but
she flinched away.
She's afraid of me? Inu thought with instant self-hatred.
"K-Kagome?" he whispered silently, Kagome lifted her head slightly.
"Inu Yasha?" she asked, before Inu could respond she had hurled herself across the bed
and clung to his waste. Inu could fell Kagome sob against his chest, her small body wracked
with sobs, and he encompassed her in a hug and wondered how he went from being hit to being
hugged.
But it really didn't matter al that much to him right now.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" Inu asked.
"I-I just had a nightmare, that's all. I'll be fine, I just..."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"I haven't had that nightmare for a while now. It's the one where my father died. I was
there, when he died, you know, but I was really little. I remember this giant man all in red with
spiked hair and a scar coming out of the forest. My father fought with him and sealed him away,
but then father died..."Kagome said shakily. Inu thought that this story was having an all-too-
familiar ring to it.
"Kagome, this scar, where was it?"
"On the guy's right eye. It was an X really."
"Kagome, do you think it might have been a demon who escaped from the well? You did
just describe one of the four original demons. Maybe they escaped into your world."
"If they did, my father sealed them away, grandpa said father was really good with
incantations and he sealed all of the evil spirits into rocks and boulders," Kagome said. Inu
paused, then asked.
"What happened, in your dream."
"The red demon came back and he killed my father again, but this time he came after me
too. He hit me to the ground and held me there while he started to eat me alive..." Kagome
started to cry again. Inu placed a hand on her head.
"I won't ever let that happen," he said with conviction.
Kagome's sobs eventually faded but she made no move to get away so Inu simply kept
holding her. After some time, Inu realized that she had fallen asleep, her head leaned against his
chest. Inu thought for a split second about leaving Kagome and moving back to his spot on the
floor, but he realized that he didn't feel he could, even if he had wanted to(which he didn't).
Completely drained from the days events and tired from lack of sleep, Inu leaned back against
the wall and fell asleep, Kagome still held tight in his arms.
"Shouyu!" Mirada yelled as she entered his room without knocking, "Shouyu, where are
you? We're late for breakfast, aren't you coming with me? Sho-...!" Mirada stopped, seeing Inu
had been asleep on the bed, holding the little human girl in his arms. Inu was staring at Mirada,
as if daring her to come any closer, protectively pulling the young human girl closer to him.
Mirada hung her head.
"This is the last straw, Shouyu! I won't allow that little human to have you! You're mine!
You hear me? Mine!" Mirada yelled. Kagome, awake long enough to her Mirada's little speech,
leapt to her feet.
"Give it up Mirada! Shouyu picked me! Me! He's mine, not yours, and you can't have
him! You lose! Give up, he picked me because I can give him something you never can. I love
him Mirada, he's mine!" Kagome yelled fiercely. Inu was stupefied. She loves me? He thought
to himself.
Mirada's eyes went dark with rage. Her claws grew in common demon form and she
slashed at Kagome, intending on ripping her throat out. There was a flash of red and Mirada's
wrist started bleeding. A small fluffy ball of fur landed on Kagome's lap, which Kagome soon
saw as Shippo.
"Get a move on, Inu Yasha! What are you waiting for, an invitation?!" Shippo yelled as
Mirada prepared to attack again. Inu came out of his stupor and rushed at Mirada, who was
getting ready to slice Kagome with her claws again, and grabbed her by the wrists. Inu looked
into Mirada's eyes and felt himself falling again.
"Inu, why do you want to hurt me? Don't you love me?" Mirada asked pitifully as her
eyes began to glow a faint red color. Inu was frozen, he couldn't move. Just like that time in the
garden, he thought to himself.
Kagome watched as Inu began to grow limp under Mirada's stare before she realized
what was happening.
"Mirada's putting a spell on him!" Kagome gasped out loud before the second thought
could hit her full force, "And she's got the shekon shard to make her stronger! Inu Yasha, she's
got the shard!" Kagome cried but Inu, who could hear her, couldn't respond. Kagome didn't
know quite what to do, but she had an idea.
"Oh, what the hell," she said to herself, "we're dead anyway. Inu Yasha! Sit!"
Inu hit the floor as Mirada just stood there and blinked, her spell broken. Before Mirada
could recover, Inu hit her in the stomach while getting off the ground.
"Inu Yasha! Her wrist!" Kagome yelled, seeing the shard peek through the wound Shippo
had made when he bit Mirada's wrist. Inu, having left his sword somewhere on the floor, used
his shard demon claws and sliced open Mirada's wrist, the shard flying out in a gush of blood,
only to be caught be Shippo. Seeing the shard saw, Inu went back to fighting Mirada. He
punched her once again, sending her flying backwards into a wall. Mirada hit the wall and
slumped to the ground, terror replacing her former facade.
"You tried to out me under a spell, you tried to take away my soul, but worst of all, you
tried to kill Kagome, and for that, I'll have you're head!" Inu yelled as he prepared to use his
claws to literally take of Mirada's head. Inu froze as he felt a weight on his arm and turned
around to see Kagome clinging to his arm.
"Kagome," Inu said.
"Inu Yasha, let's just go," Kagome pleaded with him.
"But Mirada tried to kill you!" Inu said incredulously. When Kagome answered, she was
talking to Mirada, not Inu.
"Mirada, I really don't know if there's any good in you, but I'm giving you this second
chance. If you ever come after us again or we ever find you hurting anyone again, Inu Yasha
here is going to kill you. Go away somewhere and find something that makes you happy. Really
happy, not evilly happy. Someone you love. You'll know them when you find them and someday
they'll love you back," Kagome said with a wink ,jerking her head toward Inu, "Just remember,
Inu Yasha is mine, and if you ever try and steal him again, well, I won't be held responsible for
my own actions."
Mirada just stared at Kagome for a moment, then smiled, an actual, happy smile. The
little human might not be so bad, Mirada thought as she decided to take the girl's advice and go
off to find herself. She wanted love, she wanted to be loved, she wanted to be happy and she
never could have done that with Shouyu or Inu Yasha or whatever his name was or any of the
other men she had seduced and later thrown away. Mirada wanted what this girl had, that look
she got in her eyes when she looked at Inu Yasha. That was what Mirada wanted, and she always
got what she wanted.
Shippo gently tugged at Kagome's sleeve as Inu grabbed her already packed duffel bag.
Kagome didn't like leaving Mirada on the floor with that far-away look in her eyes, but they had
to get as far away from here as they could before someone raised the alarm. So Kagome jumped
out the window only to be caught by Inu waiting below and was carried on Inu's back away from
the horrible demon castle that had brought her so close to her true love.
Inu's hair swirled around Kagome's face as they leaped through the trees, Shippo running
ahead to try and race a squirrel. Kagome took one hand off of Inu's shoulder and ran it through
his beautiful hair. She was a little envious. Why couldn't my hair be like that? she wondered.
"Kagome, about what you said, back there, did you mean it?" Inu asked seriously.
"Mean what?" Kagome asked. Inu stopped and pulled her into his arms to face him.
"D-do you love me?" Inu blurted out. Kagome looked away and Inu's heart dropped. So
she did just say that in the spur of the moment, she really didn't mean it, he thought.
"Yes," Kagome said quietly.
"What?"
"Yes! Yes, I love you! Yes, I don't know what I'd do without you! Yes, Mirada almost
drove me crazy! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Ye-..." Kagome shouted in anger and sadness, believing
Inu would never love her back. Inu silenced her with his lips, bringing her into a dazzling kiss
that left Kagome frazzled to the core.
"I love you too," Inu said with a smile. Kagome smiled back and they began to come
together for another kiss when they heard...
"Stop trying to suck each other's faces off! We've got traveling to do!" Shippo yelled.
Inu really, really, really wanted to throttle the little puppy right now and from the smile on his
face, Shippo knew that he had annoyed Inu very badly. But Inu restrained himself, vowing
revenge later, and picked up Kagome.
They caught a ride with Miroku and Sango a little later by jumping off a cliff and onto
Kilala's back startling the couple who were, apparently, getting ready to do something very
inappropriate.
"So, what have you three been up to?" Sango asked. Shippo was the first to answer.
"Inu Yasha and Kagome stayed up all night cuddling and this morning they decided to
smooch in the forest. Oh, and Inu was almost put under a spell, Kagome was almost killed, we
defeated another demon and got another shard of the jewel. You should have seen these two
suck face! They- ahh!" Shippo said as Inu picked him up and dangled him off the side of Kilala.
"Get off!" Inu growled as he prepared to drop Shippo from about five hundred feet in the air.
"Inu Yasha! Sit!"
(THE END)
Authors Note: I'm Done! Finally. Anyway, review me and tell me what you think! I
added that little part about Kagome's dream just in case I decide to write a sequil, which I may
or may not. The dream really didn't go along with the story, but wasn't that scene cute?! And I
wanted to keep my options open, just in case. And i am so sorry about not writing for so long,
but I just can't think of anything when I can't watch the show and they took it off Cartoon
Network so I was kind of screwed for a while there.
Well...so much anime, so little time! Bye!
"I do not own Inu Yasha, 'cause if I did Cartoon Network wouldn't have replaced Inu
with that stupid other show! Where do these people get off?! How am I supposed to live without
seeing Inu Yasha before I go to bed? What is the deal? I need Inu! Come back! *Sob*" Ryoko
says and starts to bawl like a baby.

together for another kiss when they heard...
"Stop trying to suck each other's faces off! We've got traveling to do!" Shippo yelled.
Inu really, really, really wanted to throttle the little puppy right now and from the smile on his
face, Shippo knew that he had annoyed Inu very badly. But Inu restrained himself, vowing
revenge later, and picked up Kagome.
They caught a ride with Miroku and Sango a little later by jumping off a cliff and onto
Kilala's back startling the couple who were, apparently, getting ready to do something very
inappropriate.
"So, what have you three been up to?" Sango asked. Shippo was the first to answer.
"Inu Yasha and Kagome stayed up all night cuddling and this morning they decided to
smooch in the forest. Oh, and Inu was almost put under a spell, Kagome was almost killed, we
defeated another demon and got another shard of the jewel. You should have seen these two
suck face! They- ahh!" Shippo said as Inu picked him up and dangled him off the side of Kilala.
"Get off!" Inu growled as he prepared to drop Shippo from about five hundred feet in the air.
"Inu Yasha! Sit!"
(THE END)
Authors Note: I'm Done! Finally. Anyway, review me and tell me what you think! I
added that little part about Kagome's dream just in case I decide to write a sequil, which I may
or may not. The dream really didn't go along with the story, but wasn't that scene cute?! And I
wanted to keep my options open, just in case. And i am so sorry about not writing for so long,
but I just can't think of anything when I can't watch the show and they took it off Cartoon
Network so I was kind of screwed for a while there.
Well...so much anime, so little time! Bye!
