Chapter 1 : Inu-yahsa's confession, Kouga's big question

"Inu-yasha, I feel something ,coming...fast!" Kagome told Inu-yasha worried that the demon would hurt her friends.

"Feh, you worry to much wench, their is no demon I can't beat" Inu-yasha said smugly. It turned out that the demon was no other than, Kouga.

"Kagome, my love, I must speak to u alone" Kouga said shooting a nasty glare at Inu-yasha who shot it right back.

"umm...okay....I'll be right back.. so don't go anywhere without me" Kagome said a lil scared because she didn't want to be left with Kouga.

"Miroku, Sango set up camp"Inu-yasha barked orders at them

"The least you could do is ask nicely " Miroku said under his breath.

"Feh, Whatever" Inu-yahsa said leaving Sango, Miroku and Kirara to set up camp. Not realizing that Shippo followed him.

Somewhere close to camp Kouga was being..... well....himself.

"Kaogme, my darling, I can no longer see u suffer at the hands of that mangy mutt. Kagome my love what I'm trying to get at is *deep sigh* Will u be my mate....please"

"M-m-m-m-mate? As in marry y-you?"Kagome was getting tired of all his proposals they were getting old. But it stilled shocked her because this time he use d the word "please"."*sigh* Kouga-kun, I'm very flattered and all, but the is NO" She said with a soft yet annoyed voice.

"But Kagome, you.."

"Kouga, no"

"But.."

"no"

"It's not..."

"Kouga I said NO !"

this went on as the started walking back to camp. Once they got close enough they heard Sango beating Miroku to a pulp.

"BAKA!!HENTAI!!You never learn do you, asshole!!" Sango said punching him in the back of the head several times, Kirara watched on in amusement as the unholy monk got beat up by her best friend.

He fell face first into the dirt where he lost conscience from Sango's brutal beating.

"You unholy monk, when will you leave Sango alone" Kagome said as they walked into camp.

" Don't you have respect for women, Lecher" Kouga said a little disgusted at the Mikoru.Kagome started to make Ramen when she noticed Shippo and Inu-yasha were gone. But she didn't mention it to the others.

Up in a tree not too far from camp Inu-yasha was having some problems. He kept mumbling about something Shippo couldn't really get wind of it he got closer he found a rock he could hide behind and what he heard shocked him to the very core.

"Kagome...I..I..*sigh* I love you? no.. that's not it...Kagome ...I'm in love with you...*sigh* she'll never love me...what would she want a worthless half breed." He looked up at the sky and watched the moon and the stars. He heard Kagome's voice in the distance.

"Inu-yahsa, Ramen's ready" He gave another heavy sigh and jumped down off the tree.

Shippo scared ran in the other direction tripping on a tree root and hit the ground hard behind a bush

"ow" he whispered, but Inu-yasha could still hear it he look back at the bush where he had heard Shippo. He started walking towards the bush . Shippo hearing this was mortified 'He is going to kill me' the frightened kitsune though. Just then Kagome yelled "Inu-yasha...Your Ramen is getting cold !"

"I'm coming I'm coming" he muttered Shippo thanked the Gods for Kagome's interference.

He gathered some wood so he could have a good excuse for not being there at camp. As he picked up the branches he kept thinking about what Inu-yasha had said ' does he really love Kagome? Should I tell her? Of course I'm gonna tell her I have to tell her' He decided to tell Kagome once he got to camp.
