A Secret Love

Author's Note" I'm still trying to figure out a good way to do the second half to Summer Days. It won't be too long and things may happen quickly, but from the first chapters you won't believe the ending. Anyway, I did this to have some fun. I was thinking, what Kikyo didn't exists in their lives (don't we all wish that?) and Kagome lived in Inuyasha's time? Well this is what this fic is about.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the characters, just this fic. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Chapter 8

Inuyasha stared deep into Kagome's eyes. It seemed like forever since he had last seen her and it hurt him deep down. The last time he had seen her she was injured and didn't even want to look at him. She thought he had attacked her, yet he didn't even know how he could have attacked her if she had attacked him. She went up at him and hugged him tightly, he could feel her body shaking as she cried in his arms. His eyes softened a bit. He missed her more than he was willing to let anyone know. She backed away from him and slapped him. "You jerk! You tried to kill me!" she yelled. He stared at her in complete outrage.

"I tried to kill you! I wouldn't have had to try to steal the jewel if you hadn't attacked me! And I DIDN'T try to kill you. I came no where near you before you attacked me!" he yelled back her. Everyone stood silently, letting them scream at each other.

"Isn't that Inuyasha?" Kagome stopped arguing with the half-breed to shoot a death glare at Houjo.

"You don't have to lie to me Inuyasha! We've known each other long enough." She said quietly, her back now to him.

"Why the hell would I have attacked you if I care about you, Kagome!?" Inuyasha snapped. She turned around and looked at him with tears in her eyes. She went up to him and swallowed.

"Inuyasha." she began but Kaede pushed through the crowd. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at her and growled. He hoped she didn't think he's trust her after she just attempted to kill him.

"It seems you two have both been deceived into trying to kill each other." She said. Inuyasha frowned at her. "From your stories that is what I've gathered."

"No one knew about us, so who could it have been." Asked Kagome, still standing close in front of Inuyasha. She looked up at him. "But it only makes sense since we're accusing each other of something the other says they never did."

"Feh. All I know is I'm innocent." Inuyasha muttered, Kagome frowned and turned away.

"So what are you saying?" she asked. He blinked and looked at her in confusion. "This little game isn't about to start up again is it?" Inuyasha watched her carefully. He was about to answer when someone cut in.

"What was Inuyasha going to use the jewel for once Kagome gave it to him anyway?" asked a boy who had been standing next to Houjo. Inuyasha glared at the boy.

"None of your damn business." He answered and Kagome grabbed his hand. He looked down at her and she smiled a bit and let it go, turning toward the forest and beginning to walk off.

"Come with me will you." Inuyasha looked over his shoulder at the villagers as Kagome began walking into the forest. Inuyasha slowly began to follow her and the villagers gasped, whispering in shock.

'She got him to follow her."

"They must be going to have a final face off.."

"Kagome is so brave." Inuyasha snorted and walked ahead of Kagome, jumping up into a tree and placing his hands behind his head, closing his eyes.

"Are all humans that easy to impress?" he asked.

"Only the stupid ones." Answered Kagome quietly and Inuyasha opened an eye, raising an eyebrow at her. She wasn't one to talk about people. When he looked down at her, she was looking back at him with tears in her eyes. "Inuyasha. you aren't taking this serious." She said quietly. "I want to be with you and all you can do is sit around."

"Kagome.." He said and jumped out the tree, going up to her cautiously. He never liked seeing females cry, especially her. He went up to her and put his arms around her, not noticing something fall from her hands.

"I've missed you. I thought Kaede had killed you." She whispered. Inuyasha looked at her and let out a sigh, tightening his hold on her.

"That old hag can't kill me. I'm Inuyasha." He heard Kagome snort into his kimono and smiled a bit. He loved it when she was happy. When she was, he seemed to be in a better mood. He noticed a small pouch on the ground and moved from Kagome, picking it up. "What's this?" he asked. Kagome quickly reddened and pulled it away.

"It kinda the Shikon jewel." She answered and he blinked in confusion.

"Kinda? What does that mean?" he asked and Kagome sighed and turned away from him.

"There was a little. accident you see."
