Chapter 6: Hurting

When they parted they were looking into each other's eyes. They start moving closer and closer. Kagome couldn't believe that Inu yasha was showing so many emotions to her.

'Why is he doing this?' Kagome thought. But enter Miroku.

"Oh! Kagome! I was so worried. Are you ok?"

'Damn Monk!' thought Inu yasha as he walked away.

"Inu yasha? Wait." Kagome said with a soft look and voice.

Inu yasha just gave her a glance and walked into the woods. Kagome turned to Miroku. 'Damn Monk.' She thought. Then, * SLAP *!

"Damn you! Why did you do that? He was, was just, just about, to," Kagome couldn't take any more. She ran off, also into the woods, crying. Miroku was just about to go after her when Sango stopped him.

"No! Let her go. Something tells me they don't need us any more." Sango said as she watched Kagome run off into the woods.

In the woods:

Kagome was running into the woods when she tripped. She fell onto a tree trunk, and started to sob. Inu yasha was among the branches and when he looked down he saw her. He was about to go down and try to calm her down when he heard.

"THAT DAMN MONK! Why'd he have to go and do that? Inu yasha was just about to, to," Kagome sobbed.

Inu yasha couldn't hear anymore for her crying. He was thinking, 'She truly loves me. She wanted to kiss me. Like I wanted to kiss her. Why didn't I just never mind that damn monk.' He jumped down on the lowest branch. But it was not big enough for him. He landed and then, the branch cracked, then fell. Inu yasha got up rubbing the bump now that was on his head.

Kagome jumped. She was blushing madly. "Inu yasha? What all did you hear? Look it's not what it seems. I, uh, I was - I was well its none of your business!"

"Why are you being so defensive? Hummm!" Inu yasha said mischievously.

"I'm not being defensive, I'm- I'm well I'm not doing anything you're the one who is spying on ME!" she screamed playing it cool acting as if she hadn't being crying at all.

"SPYING! I'm not spying on you. You're the one who came running into the woods crying. By the why were you crying?" Inu yasha asked sounding concerned.

Kagome was shocked. 'He is concerned about me!' She thought happily 'He does care about me!' "I'm crying because I think that Miroku doesn't care about me any more. What do you think? Could you talk to him for me, please?"

Inu yasha's concerned look was wiped off his face, " Why the hell would I do that?"

Kagome got a little smirk on to her face "Why Inu yasha, is that a little hint of jealousy in your voice?"

"NO-no. No it's not. It's just- just I lo- Err, Your so stupid." Inu yasha said blushing.

"Well. Well. Well. Inu yasha are you blushing or does your face just come in that color?" Kagome asked giving a little laugh.

"No! Who's blushing? I'm not blushing." Inu yasha said turning redder. If that is possible. "Besides who would blush over you!" And before he could take it back the damage had been done.

" I guess your right. I'm nothing like you or your precious Kikiyo am I?" Kagome whispered her head down about to turn away. But Inu yasha grabbed her by the shoulders. She looked up into his eyes.

"Don't you ever put yourself down like that again! You're beautiful the way you are. Do you hear me?" he said to her bring her close. He cupped her chin in his hand as a tear rolled down her cheek.
