A/N = I think I'm going to cry…I hardly got any reviews. So I've decided to update this story for my own pleasure. Although it would still be nice to get a lot of reviews. Oh and by the way, I do not, I repeat, I do not own Inuyasha or any other characters in my story. Thank you.

Chapter two: My love and my soul mate

            Inuyasha hid quietly in the bushes near the river, his cheeks turning a brighter red with each passing moment. He watched her flawless figure as she bathed. Her hands ran gently over her body, rubbing the herbs into her skin. Inuyasha swallowed the lump in his throat. Should I, go to her? Kagome submerged herself in the cool water; she let it have its way with her. She glided through the water. Inuyasha could no longer see her but his link with her was strong. He could feel her. Feel her. He wanted to feel her for real. He wanted her warm flesh to be pressed up against his own. He wanted her so badly, and it was beginning to show. He sank down deeper into the bushes. Oh Kagome…My love. My woman. My soul mate. He peeked through a hole in the bush. She had surfaced and she was slowly pulling her fingers through her long black hair. She stood when she neared the end of her raven strands. Thus causing her breasts to be revealed to the night air. Inuyasha tried to hold back the erge to run over there and sweep her up into his arms, he moaned without realizing it. Kagome didn't seem to notice. She was busy combing her hair with her fingers, ever so slowly. Inuyasha was going to explode. And he did, but not in the way you think. He gave out the loudest fart you would have ever heard. Kagome was startled and she submerged her naked body quickly, hiding anything inappropriate.

            "Who's there?" Did someone fart? And to her surprise Inuyasha stood up from the bushes. A sigh of relief escaped Kagome, but she couldn't help but think…Nasty.

            "I'm sorry Kagome." Inuyasha said, diverting his eyes from her. He was blushing like mad. "I will just be going now." He turned and began to walk away.

            You're leaving already? Maybe he should…no I want him to stay. "Inuyasha wait." He stopped walking, but he did not turn to face her. "Stay?" She motioned for him to join her in the water. He turned around, reluctant.

            "Are you sure Kagome?" He said, before beginning to slip off his kimono.

            "More sure than I've ever been before in my life…" She swam over to the bank nearest him. When he had completely removed his clothes she stared for a second and marveled at what would soon be hers. She had never seen him naked before. His muscles were well defined, but not too much. Just right. Inuyasha blushed in her stare. She noticed and turned away. WOW! She waited until she was positive that he was in the water before turning around. His eyes were still turned away from her. "Inuyasha."

            "Yes, Kagome?" He turned and looked into her dark eyes. She moved closer to him. She stood in front of him, but did not touch him no matter how badly she wanted to. They both stared deep into one another's eyes. Every inch of her body is without flaw, she is so beautiful.

            "Make me yours. Take me into your arms and never let go." She whispered. Inuyasha obeyed, he wrapped his arms around her shoulders. She gently rested her hands on his manly chest.

            "I thought you'd never ask…" She stole his words with her lips. Gently at first then rougher. Inuyasha used his hands and pressed her face into his own, deepening their already deep kiss.

            Several months went by. Inuyasha and Kagome's relationship was well known. Everyone was happy for the priestess and half demon. Some though were jealous.

            "Dear priestess, why do you hang around such a being." Not calling him demon or even half demon on purpose.

            "Onigumo, he is my soul mate." Kagome tended to the man who would never move from the cave he rested in again. His burns were severe. The only part of his body visible through his many bandages was his eye. "You ask me this time and time again and the answer still remains the same."

            "Yes priestess." He said angrily. 'That thing, Inuyasha does not deserve her,' he thought. Kagome stood and walked from the cave. He watched as she leaved powerless to stop her.

            "I shall send Sota to tend to your wounds tomorrow, Onigumo." And with that she picked up her bow and arrow, which she always leaves just outside the cave and left.

            "Tomorrow is not the day then…" Onigumo whispered to himself. "Perhaps the next day."

            Kagome walked happily through the woods. Walking slowly on purpose. He would find her soon, so very soon. Inuyasha came bounding from behind Kagome and grabbed her around her waist. She smiled in his embrace. "Inu…" Her words were cut short by his sweet lips.

            He parted. "Yes my love." He whispered into her ear. She would be the only woman he would ever call anything so sweet. She giggled.

            "Inuyasha, you have a way of always catching me of guard, you…" He stole her lips and rendered her body helpless. She was his, and he was hers. She returned the kiss more passionately, causing him to go weak in the knees, proving this. She pulled away only a second to say the rest of her sentence. "You hunk of man you…" And with that Inuyasha swept her up into his arms. She held tight around his neck, as he jumped from branch to branch. Kagome loved it. She wished she could jump as Inuyasha did. But she didn't need to, because Inuyasha could. They came to a secluded spot near a snowy mountain. Perfect.  

            "My turn for you to carry me…" Inuyasha said, making one of his only jokes ever. Kagome laughed. He only jokes with me… Before she could process the thought much further Inuyasha was all over her. "Give me a ride!", he said.

            Kagome giggled. "Hop on…"

            The day ended and the morning sun rose to quickly for the two. Now they only had one day left alone with each other. The villagers had agreed to let the two love birds go off for one night on their own. Kagome would have to return before sun down. They lay, both awake at the base of the snowy mountain, holding each other close. Inuyasha's head resting among Kagome's raven locks. Kagome's head lay gently on Inuyasha chest, the chest she loved so much. Inuyasha's Kimono covered the two, and that was the only thing that covered them. They were naked. A slight breeze surrounded them and Kagome shivered, causing the reflex from Inuyasha, to hold her closer.

            "Inu…" She said. "Make me yours. Take me into your arms and never let go." Inuyasha smiled at her words. Those words are a brand name on their love. Happy or sad, she could say it and Inuyasha would melt. They could be in the middle of a huge fight, tearing

 at eachother's throats and the only thing she would have to do is whisper those special words, and Inuyasha would obey.

            He replied the way he had the first time she asked. "I thought you'd never ask." She looked up into his eyes of golden sunset, the eyes of his soul. She placed a hand on his cheek. He kissed her fore head. "Kagome," He said, getting an idea to liven up their day. "Want to fly?"

            "If only I could Inu…"

            "But you can. Get dressed and I'll show you."

            Sota carried the bucket of water to the dying thief's cave. "Why do I have to work while sister is out playing with Uncle Inu?" He had gotten quite used to calling him that. Even though Inuyasha would object every time he said it. His words floated in the wind, unheard. He sighed.

            "Sota is it?" Onigumo asked as Sota entered the cave. "Lady Kagome told me she would send you." His eye examined every detail of the young boy. It took an odd fancy to the wooden sword that was tucked through the strap of his kimono. "A swordsman in training, are you?"

            Sota did not like the man already. He ignored Onigumo and went on to the task of cleaning his bandages. "Not the talkative type, now, are we?"

            "I have one more lesson before I receive my sword." Sota said, wishing that the thief would drop the subject. "As soon as I return."

            "Oh I see." Onigumo said. "Your sister is quite pretty. Yes she is." Sota shot the man a death glare.

            "I wouldn't know now would I?" Sota said, the anger rising in his voice. 'What was this man getting at?' He thought.  "Me being her brother and all.  You should ask Uncle Inu." Sota said off hand.

            Onigumo became angry. 'Tomorrow has to be the day. So the plan starts here.' Onigumo thought. "Sota," Onigumo's voice revealed nothing of his thoughts. "Wouldn't it be wonderful if your Uncle Inu could be full human?"

            "Why of course it would." Sota said slightly suspicious.

            "You should talk to him and convince him to use the Jewel to do…" At the mention of the Shikon Jewel Sota jumped up and pointed his wooden sword at the immobile thief. Onigumo hadn't even seen him pull it out. "You must understand that he is half demon, and sometimes demon's aren't to be trusted…"

            Sota wanted to knock that man around with his stick. 'How dare he insult Inuyasha! My brother!' He thought. "Inuyasha is different!"

            "Is he? Did he not, when he first arrived, wish to posses the jewel to become full demon?" Onigumo smiled beneath his bandages.

            "Yes, well…"

            "My case rests."

            Sota left, if he stayed a second longer with that man he was going to do something he would regret, but unknown to Sota he was already about to do it.

            "Whoa!" Kagome yelled as Inuyasha jumped off the cliff. The river was more than a mile down. That's what it seemed to Kagome at least. She watched, as he seemed to float.

            "THE WIND!" He yelled, but he was still hard to hear because there was indeed a lot of wind. "IT HOLDS YOU UP!" Kagome laughed as Inuyasha did a couple of back flips. "COME ON!"

            "NO! I CAN'T I'M TO SCARED!" Kagome yelled back.

            "WHAT? THE GREAT PREISTESS WHO PROTECTS THE SHIKON JEWEL IS SCARED?"

            "YES! SHE IS!" Kagome yelled back acting as though the person they were talking about was in fact not there.

            "CRAZY!"  Inuyasha glided over to the side of the cliff and landed softly on the ground next to Kagome. And with out giving it a second thought pushed her off the edge.

            She screamed so load, Inuyasha thought he had gone deaf. But just as Inuyasha had, she was floating in the air. Inuyasha decided to explain how the wind worked. "The two cliffs," he called out to her. "Trap the wind between them. And for the wind to escape it has to move faster." Kagome couldn't hear him, or she just didn't care. She was busy trying back flips. Inuyasha laughed at her, before jumping off the cliff to join her.

            The hours flew by and before Kagome knew it she was making her way back home. "I don't want to go home yet." She mumbled. Any human would have not of been able to hear her, but as we know Inuyasha isn't normal, and isn't human for that matter.

            "Then don't." He said. Releasing her hand and placing his arm around her shoulders, Kagome place her arm around his waist.

            "I must, Sota wouldn't agree to watching Onigumo another day."

            Inuyasha stiffened at the name. "Feh!"

            "Inuyasha do you think you could carry me so we would arrive sooner?" He looked at her, slightly angry, not at her, at her pity, her pity for a thief.

            "Sooner? Bitch if you want to get there sooner, find another mean of transportation, cause I am not your horse." She stopped walking and watched as he walked in front of her. She followed behind sulking. He could be so nice, and yet so rude. She let him be. He must need to be alone. She was sad. And he was angry, angry with her, of course who else.

            Inuyasha was boiling in his own rage. If he looked at Kagome he might go off on her so he decided it was best to stay ahead. He didn't like to yell at her. She was his love, his woman, and his soul mate. Remembering that relaxed him a bit, Kagome saw this and took a chance.

            "Make me yours. Take me into your arms and never let go." She whispered from her spot quite a ways behind him. She was being sure to whisper. Inuyasha heard her though and his ears flattened to his head. I'm sorry Kagome. I thought you'd never ask. He said his line in his head, and continued to walk. Then he smelt salt. Salt? Kagome is crying. And she was. Silent deadly tears streamed down her delicate cheeks.

            She repeated her self, lost in hope. "Make me yours. Take me into your arms and never let go."

            Inuyasha was in front of her with in seconds, his rage gone. Only regret for making her cry remained. He didn't answer he only held her. Kagome cried harder at his touch. Inuyasha just let her tears flow onto his chest. The chest Kagome loves so much.

            "Inu…ahhh….yasha…" She sobbed. He held her tighter. "Make me yours…" She burst into a frenzy of even more tears. "Take….me…"

            "Kagome, I thought you'd never ask." And at that she cried as hard as her small body could muster. "Why are you crying?" Inuyasha asked.

            "I'm," She sniffled. "I'm just so HAPPY!" She cried hard again, Inuyasha just smiled.

            "Here." He said. "Let me take you home." She nodded unable to do much else through the crying. He carried her in his arms. His strong arms.

            The sun was high in the sky now; the day had long since started. Kagome was making her way to the thief's cave. Inuyasha stayed behind, as he always did. He would wait in the village till he smelt her leave. Sota walked up to Inuyasha.

            "Uncle Inu?" Inuyasha ignored the boy. "Fine then I see how this is going to end." Sota began to walk away. Inuyasha reached out and grabbed Sota by his kimono. Sota swung around sword drawn and was pointing it straight an Inuyasha.

            "Nice." Inuyasha said, truly impressed.

            "Uh sorry," Sota said. "Reflex."

            "So what is it you need to talk to me about?"

            "Well…" Sota pondered how he was going to put this into words that would not offend Inuyasha. "You are always being ridiculed for being half demon and all…" He paused looking at Inuyasha for any sign he was hurt. Inuyasha's face held no expression. "You know you could use the Shikon Jewel to become full human."

            Inuyasha got up and left. Sota didn't go after him. If Inuyasha wanted to use the Jewel he would come back and tell Sota.

            "Onigumo!" Kagome yelled standing up. "How dare you ask me to leave Inuyasha!" She kicked over the bucket of water in anger.

            "Please Kagome, become my wife, that half blood doesn't deserve you."

            "Onigumo, you know the answer to that!" She said the fire of anger blazing in her eyes.

            "Very well then…" He said. "Yesterday Inuyasha talked to me… he said he was only using you for pups…"

            "Inuyasha would do no such thing!" Kagome yelled, backing up to prevent her from kicking him.

            "He says he wants to use the Jewel to become full demon!" Onigumo saw doubt arise in Kagome's eyes.

            "Even if he did," she said, hiding her eyes from Onigumo. "I could never betray him."

            "Why not?" Onigumo said, his plan would fall apart if she didn't.

            "He is my love, my man and my soul mate."

            "Very well then…you shall die with him then."

            "What?" Kagome said looking up only to find thousands of demons floating around the ceiling of the cave.

            "Take me demons. Eat my flesh, become one with me!" Onigumo yelled. All the demons rushed at him and devoured him. Kagome watched in disgust as the demons ate away.

            "Poor Onigumo…" She muttered as a single tear rolled down her cheek.

            A bright light erupted from the chaos. When the light subsided, Onigumo and the demons where gone. What was there was not human. "No…" The thing said. "The name is Naraku."

            Kagome cowered against the wall. Oh why oh why did I have to leave my bow outside, maybe I can get to it…She looked in the direction of the cave door.

            "Oh no you don't." Naraku said. He appeared in front of Kagome, and grabbed around her neck with one hand. He looked human. He pulled her up so her feet were no longer on the ground. Kagome was pined against the cave wall; her breath was slowly leaving her.

            "Inuyasha…" She murmured.

            Naraku laughed. "I like you Lady Kagome, but I can't have you interfering with my plans." He cocked his head to one side. "Perhaps I won't kill you." He released her, and she slunk to the floor clasping her throat, gulping in air.

            "Inu…" She tried to speak. Inuyasha. Help. Her voice failed her.

            "You shall sleep." He grabbed her by the front of her Kimono and dragged her to the back of the cave. "This place will become a shrine to you, now isn't that nice?" He asked Kagome.

            "You…" she managed. "Bastard."

            "I don't think calling me names is in your best interest." He said arriving at the back wall. "Here we are."

            "Help…" Kagome whispered. She must warn Inuyasha.

            Naraku picked her up and threw her against the wall, her body slammed into it about a foot above the ground. She was about to fall when the wall came to life. The stone wrapped around her wrists and ankles. One held tightly to her waist and the last wrapped around her neck, just loose enough so she could breath. She struggled in her binds.

            "Useless." Naraku said. "Now guess what! The only way I know to make you have a somewhat eternal sleep is to take half of your soul, now isn't that nice?" He smiled evilly at his prey.

            "Just dandy…" she joked.

            "So I do believe it is quite painful. I will tell you the details of it…what happens is pretty much, I kill half of your soul. You remain with part of it and the rest goes bye bye, off to the world of the dead."

            "Why don't you join it?" Kagome said. Inuyasha!

            "Ha ha, your so funny. Now lets get down to it." When Naraku stood in front of Kagome he was eye level with her because she was a foot above ground. She gave him a drop-dead look. He just smiled at her. Then he thrust his hand into her chest. Kagome screamed in pain. "Now I pull it out." Kagome began to glow. The glowing split down the middle of her body and the right half started to pull away. "You're stronger than I thought." Naraku growled. He pulled his hand out of her and the right aura floated away. Kagome's eyes closed and her chest appeared to be unwounded. "Sleep in piece." Naraku said. He then transformed into a Kagome look alike. "Time to get on with the rest of my plan." His voice sounded that of Kagome's.

            In the town unknown to any, the Shikon jewel cracked slightly down the center.

            Inuyasha had heard Kagome scream. He was running as fast as he could to Onigumo's cave. He saw the cave door, just as Kagome was walking out. Oh thank god, she's OK. Kagome bent down and picked up her bow and arrow. "Just where she left it." She said. That's odd, since when does Kagome talk in third person. Then Kagome noticed Inuyasha coming from out of the forest. Her face turned to anger. "Die Inuyasha! Why did you betray me?" She aimed her bow at him and shot an arrow that he easily dodged.

            "What?" He said.

            "DIE!" Kagome screamed and shot another arrow at Inuyasha. Inuyasha ran into town.

            "Kagome!" He was yelling to the girl behind him who kept throwing arrows. He ran ahead of her. If I become full human maybe she won't kill me. He entered the town and started to tear it to shreds. He knew the jewel was here, he just didn't know where. Fires where starting and villagers started to get weapons to defend the jewel. "Sota!" Inuyasha yelled. "The jewel?" Sota pointed into the hut on his left. "Thanks." Inuyasha said and entered. He found it glowing in all its glory. He grabbed it, then someone through a fiery arrow into the hut and it burst into flames. He jumped up and through the roof just as someone through a net on him. He easily broke through it. The hut beneath him exploded. Inuyasha ran into the forest Shikon Jewel at hand. I wish…

            "Inuyasha!", he turned and saw Kagome standing near him. "Die!" And arrow struck him in his chest and pined him to a tree. He dropped the Shikon Jewel from the force. He watched it fall to the ground.

            "Kagome…", he said looking at his love, no this could not be his love…how could everything have gone so wrong so fast. Then sleep over took him.

            "Shit…" Kagome said and turned back into Naraku. "I thought she would enchant these, she only put the sleeping spell on them… Oh well he won't be bothering me like that. Time for my plan to start."

            "Kagome! Uncle Inu?" Naraku heard a kid scream from behind him. And he slunk away into the bushes and disappeared into the darkness.

            The Shikon jewel lay on the ground. It was now completely in half. The right side began to glow. Then it flew off into the sky, to meet up with the other half of Kagome's soul. A very worried brother found the other half.

            Sota placed the half shard with his sister who he found bound in the thief's cave. When it touched her skin it entered her body and rested in her chest. "We shall build a shrine here, honoring you sister.
