( IMPORTANT: I've decided to change the plot. It will still be a romance/action, but the moral will be completely changed. I personally like this one better. Thanks. Enjoy. )
Chapter 3 (Love and Anger)
Kagome sat across from Inu Yasha and Miroku, and smiled at Sango.
Inu Yasha hadn't told Miroku about his little encounter with Kagome yet, and he didn't think he would. Except:
"You know what we were talking about earlier Inu Yasha?" Miroku wondered.
"Yeah, so?" Inu Yasha said with a mouthful of Ramen.
"Well if you're not going to take the chance, I will," Miroku grinned. All of the sudden, Inu Yasha gave Miroku a strict punch to the jaw and Miroku went unconscious.
"Inu Yasha!" Kagome yelped, "What the heck?"
"He's a pervert," Inu Yasha shrugged.
"What were you too talking about?" Kagome wondered.
"Nothing," Inu Yasha denied.
"Why won't you tell me?" Kagome kept fighting with Inu Yasha.
"Because it's none of your damn business," he pounded his fist on the table, spilling all the bowls of Ramen. Fury built in his eyes, "Stop getting into my stuff!"
Kagome had never been yelled at like this, especially by Inu Yasha. 'Why's he acting like this, I thought he was nice!' she thought. She stood up and ran out of the building. Sango sat her mouth open. Miroku woke up clenching his throbbing head.
"Damn it Inu Yasha," he winced as he sat up.
As Kagome ran along the river, fear ran up and down her spine. Inu Yasha had really scared her, she had never seen him so angry. She didn't think she could ever look at him again.
'Why am I such a jerk?' Inu Yasha stared at Miroku and Sango. Sango was nursing Miroku's head, and Miroku turned bright red, fighting his urges. Inu Yasha shook his head 'Better go find her'. Deep down Inu Yasha had the strongest feelings for Kagome. Maybe he punched him because he didn't want Miroku taking her away. Maybe.

Kagome ran breathlessly through the thick woods, a couple times she began to fall, but caught her balance. 'That jerk, I feel so used. Or led on.' Kagome thought. She could smell the sweet scent of the river, it was surprisingly clean. She also heard a mysterious, sweet tune coming from the glorious smell. She decided to follow her nose, and ears. Kagome slowly ran along the river bank, until she reached the beginning of the river, or where the waterfall caused it to begin. A male, who must have been about a year or two older then Kagome, stood on a rock playing a flute. Well as Kagome got closer, she realized a few things.
First of all, he wasn't standing on the rock. He was floating a couple inches above it. Under his slightly long, clean cut light gray hair, two pointed ears emerged.
Second of all, it wasn't a flute. It looked like a hollow stick, which curled at the end. It made a sweeter, more mesmerizing tune then your average flute.
Thirdly, He wore clothing that not many normal people wore. The man wore baggy white pants, cut daintily over his heels. Then he wore a white shirt, with a low cut collar, a string holding the two sides of the collar together ( -twitches- I'm not good at describing shirts ). His feet were covered with silver shoes that curled at the end as well. He was very handsome, with silver eyes, and gray hair, which swept over his forehead.
Kagome slowly walked closer, under her a leaf rustled, and the man looked up calmly.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you," Kagome blushed, since she was so clumsy, "It's so pretty, the tune."
He didn't say a word, he just stared at her softly with his silver eyes. He turned his thoughtful, and intriguing gaze away from her and nodded. He jumped into the water, which came up to his waist, and began to walk to the other side of the small pond.
"Wait-" Kagome yelped, "Don't go!". She saw him turn his head back at her and then he disappeared. 'Wow, that was weird. He was really cute too-' she was pulled from her dreams as Inu Yasha grabbed her shoulder and shook her slightly.
"Don't run off like that, you may be-" he stopped and sniffed the other, "Hanagushi." He said with a deep growl.
"What?" Kagome raised her brow angrily. How dare he come looking for her after he rudely yelled at her earlier.
"Hanagushi, the cat demon," he frowned, "Well half-demon."
"Hanagushi," she thought.
"His dad was from a Catall-Catall Clan. His mother was a human," he explained, "I hate cats!". He muttered on and on about Hanagushi as he pulled Kagome home.
"What kind of instrument does he play?" she wondered.
"A Dansai," Inu Yasha explained, "It's almost as powerful as the Tetusaiga."
"How can a flute- I mean musical instrument be more powerful then the Tetusaiga?" she questioned.
"It has the power to control someone's mind, and kill then at the same time. He even owns his own sword, which is powerful as the Dansai," he thought, "The Estoneah."
"Wow. He must be a pretty strong guy," Kagome dreamt of Hanagushi all the way home. She saw Inu Yasha's face turn a furious red color, he was angry, and jealous at the same time.
"Yeah well, luckily he can't control other demons, or part demon, minds, those instruments were created by the most powerful demons to over take any human power, so it won't effect me. This gives me an advantage in battle, because as he tries to control people's minds, he can't fight with the Estoneah," he rolled his eyes, "Pitiful."

Inu Yasha stared at Kagome all through out dinner. He barely at any of the fresh ramen that the villagers brought.
"Are you alright Inu Yasha?" Sango stared at him wildly.
"Fine," he said still gazing at Kagome, hiding his eyes behind his white tuffs of hair.
Kagome stretched after eating a small bowl of Ramen.
Sango and Kagome took the bowls and rinsed them out. Miroku stared at Inu Yasha who still watched Kagome cautiously.
Miroku waved his hand in front of Inu Yasha's face, and Inu Yasha snapped out of his trance.
"What?!" Inu Yasha was agitated now.
"You've been staring at her all through out dinner, what's wrong?" Miroku wondered.
"Nothing," Inu Yasha leaned back against the tan, wooden wall.
"Ok," Miroku shrugged and stood up. He opened the sliding door and went out back. There was an amazing view of the city river and valley walls from the porch.
"I'm going to go out back," Sango smiled after finishing the dishes. She followed Miroku and sat down.
"What's wrong with Inu Yasha?" she questioned Miroku.
"No idea," he shrugged again.
"He didn't tell you?!" Sango was shocked.
"No."
"Hmm. Perhaps it is nothing."
"Maybe, but I think it's something with Kagome."
"Well that's wild guess," Sango rolled her eyes, "He was only staring at her all through out dinner!"
"I don't know."
"Hopefully he'll confess soon."
"Hopefully," Miroku sighed. He didn't like the way Inu Yasha was acting lately.

Everybody was asleep now, and Kagome made sure she was quiet as she tiptoed outside. She made her way back down into the brush below, and once again heard the soothing music of Hanagushi. She crawled along the river bank, and finally found her way to the pond.
There she saw once again the radiant half demon Hanagushi. She smiled at his beauty. She stood in the shadow of a tree, not wanting to scare him away again.
Hanagushi stopped playing, and put his pipe in his rucksack. He closed his eyes.
"I know you are here," he whispered softly. He had a smooth, creamy voice. All Kagome now wanted was to talk to him and hear his lovely voice again.
"I wanted to hear you play again," she came out from the darkness, and onto the white sand by the riverside.
'Why isn't he mind controlling me?" she thought.
'Because I'm not playing the hymn' a voice rang in her head. Kagome took a step back.
"What was that?" she said out loud.
"It's a sort of..." he thought for an easy word, "Ventriloquism."
"So you can speak to people mentally, and you can control them," she crossed her arms.
"Those aren't my only powers," he said in a soft calm voice. They stood in silence, Kagome staring at her feet awhile. She decided she wanted to talk and hear him again.
"I hear you're a cat demon," she said slowly.
"I'm a partial Neko, or Catall, " he hadn't stopped staring at her.
"Neko, oh I get it, just like on TV shows," she thought. She remembered all the times she watched cartoons about kitty girls, or Neko's. She had never met a male Neko, or even a girl one.
"TV.." he thought about the word. He didn't real know what that was.
"Oh Yeah, you live in a different time," she remembered, "I'm from a different time. But I found a well one day and..". She went over the whole story.
"Ok..." he shrugged. He didn't really ask.
"Inu Yasha knew you," she stared at him.
"Yes, I know," he said coolly.
"How do you know him?" she wondered.
"It's not up to me to tell," he turned his back to her.
