Chapter 4: Feelings Of Love

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kikyo watched Kagome train. She was amazed at how well she was doing and at a fast speed. Kagome glanced at Sango, Sweat beaded off her forehead. Sango breathed heavily.

"Wow Kagome you have improved a lot."

"Thank you." she smiled confidently. Sango leaped sending her huge boomerang coming down at her fast. Kagome dodged fast left and shot an arrow looking back seeing the boomerang coming she turned left. The boomerang misses and goes towards Sango who had been deflecting the arrow with her sword and didn't see the boomerang come fast in front of her.

"Sango Look out!!" But it was too late the boomerang smacked Sango knocking her backwards off her feet. Kagome breathed in and smiled she finally beat Sango. A Soft clapping could be heard it was Kikyo walking to Kagome.

"Kagome-Chan you have finished your training and I'll give you this present." Kikyo handed Kagome an old red bow. Kagome's eyes widen.

"But Kikyo.. I can't take this…This bow belongs to you…." Kagome looked to her.

"Yes I know Kagome just think of it as an early 16th birthday present. And anyways you earned it." Kagome stood up hugging Kikyo. Kikyo blinked surprised but returned the hug. "You better help your friend." Kikyo looked in the direction of Sango.

"Oh My Gosh! I forgot! " Kagome said running to her best friend. "Oh Sango I'm so sorry." She walked around her waving her arms frantically.

"Oh Kagome I'm fine.. So calm down!" laughed Sango.

"Tomorrow shall be the day….The day we get the Shikon Jewel out of Kagome's Body and the Day when she is married to Kouga." She looked over with an evil smirk. "Yes tomorrow…"

Sango took Kagome's hand smiling. "You finally beat me I proud of you Kagome and for your finishing the training. Let's go celebrate!" Kagome smiled.

"Yes let's." The two girls ran off in a fast pace of happiness.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"How about this?" Said Kagome stepping out showing Sango a new Kimono.

"That's perfect! Oh I better go pay, You take as long as you want an admire yourself… Priestess! " Sango smiled. Kagome blushed.

"Yep Priestess…" She turned around and held her arms out looking into the mirror. She smiled and touched the silk fabric. The essence was beautiful and it shined. It was a light shade of pink. It had petals of roses on it. She sighed. "Becoming a Priestess is what I wanted the most in the entire world…Why do I feel like I'm missing something…" Kagome muttered to herself.

"Kagome?"

"Yes!" said Kagome turning around startled.

"I paid for it, So let's go!" Sango said grabbing her arm and dragging her out. Kagome laughed as they got into the middle of their small village.

"Sango why are u buying me all this stuff, this dress is nice and that's all I need."

"Kagome stop kidding me you know that your birthday is tomorrow." Kagome blinked and started laughing.

"That's not funny Sango, we both know that my birthday isn't until next week." Kagome started laughing slower as she saw that Sango wasn't laughing but was actually looking rather serious. "Uh….isn't it?" she squeaked.

"If you only wished." Sango pulled out a calendar and Kagome's eyes wet huge.

"Oh no.. that means I have to!…."

"Oh Ladies!!" Rang a lecherously voice.

"Oh Hi Miroku…" said Sango through clenched teeth. Kagome didn't answer or respond. In fact she wasn't moving at all. Her mouth was wide open and her eyes were big.

"Hello Kagome?" said Miroku waving his hand in front of her face. "Sango I think your friend here just died."

"Ah shut up. She's just in a little shock." said Sango looking at Kagome. "Hey Kag? Ahhhh you ok.. Hello?" Suddenly Kagome's eyes rolled to the back of her head and she collapsed.

"KAGOME!!" Said Sango and Miroku at the same time. Miroku picked her up and ran into the shade. Sango ran getting water and splashing some on Kagome's face. Her eyes fluttered and they open.

"Tell me Sango it's not true…I'm.. I'm not getting married tomorrow."

"I'm sorry Kagome You are." Kagome shook her head. I have to tell Inuyasha!" She said jumping up and running into the forest.

"Who's Inuyasha?" asked Sango looking at Miroku. He just shrugged looking clueless.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kagome ran as fast as she could. She was scared and she wasn't sure if it would matter to Inuyasha if she told him. "Why am I acting like this, I don't even Love him… but why am I going to tell him then, It's none of his business. Then why do I care?" She thought as she ran. Inuyasha lied peacefully under a tree soon enough Kagome trips landing on him.

"Kagome! Gah!" He blushed standing up. She shakes her head standing up.

"Oh yeah you said my name!" Said Kagome smiling.

"Ah so what! Hey what are you doing here so early….and in that?" He stared at her Kimono. "Wow….how gorgeous.." He said muttering.

"Well I thought it would be better I came early. So we could get to know each other, cause I don't know anything about you."

"Ok.. Fine…" he looked at the sky and started getting wood.

"Oh and Inuyasha I got this because I'm a Priestess now!" she said smiling proud.

"Oh how good." said Inuyasha not sounding remotely interested. Kagome blinked at his voice.

"Is their something wrong?"

Inuyasha looked over from the corner oh his eyes. "No.."

"Oh come on Be happy your always so moody…I've never hard you laugh…, No wait a sec yes I have….When I tried to go fishing…." Said Kagome hanging her head.

Inuyasha started laughing again. "Yeah that's only because you looked really stupid." he laughed more.

"Oh thanks.." -_-; Kagome's stomach start rumbling from hunger. She hadn't eaten because Sango said she was gonna buy her dinner. She blushes as Inuyasha's ear twitched and he turned his head snapping a branch with his powerful hands. He rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Ok I'll get the food… You just start the fire…" He looked at the branch and looked back at Kagome. "You do know how to start a fire right? " he said eye brow raised.

"OF COURSE I KNOW HOW TO START A FIRE!!" she said her face red with anger. Inuyasha laughed.

"Keh…" he said walking off into the woods.

"Grrr!!" yelled Kagome snapping a branch.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hmmm I'm worried about Kagome. She hasn't been acting like herself lately and she even forgot about her birthday!!" Sango said telling Miroku. "Um.. Miroku? Are you even paying attention to what I'm saying? " Miroku's eyes were in a sort of a daydream and he was stroking her butt back and forth happily. "I should of known…" SLAP Miroku's daze was quickly gone and it was replaced by a red handprint on his left cheek.

"What were you saying I was hypnotized by your beauty." he said moving his eyes brows up and down."

"Ahhhh." Sango turned red from blush.

"Hey! You 2 love birds done flirting!?" asked an annoyed voice from behind. Sango and Miroku both turned Garnet and spun around facing Kouga.

"Um…we were just.." Started Sango but was rudely interrupted by Kouga.

"Where's Kagome?"

"Well she.." Miroku was about to address but Sango popped a hand over his mouth.

"She's running an errand for Lady Kikyo and will be back shortly." smiled Sango lying. Kouga blinked not buying it but let it go.

" If you see her, Tell her that Kouga needs to talk to her about our wedding tomorrow." Sango eyes widening digesting her thoughts.

"Alright Later Kouga." called Miroku as Kouga walked away. "Sango?" She shook her head.

"Oh No… Kag…you didn't…" Sango said to herself her eyes going back and forth thinking more.

"Sango what are you talking about?" asked Miroku looking at her. Sango looked grabbing Miroku and pushing him behind a shop.

"Miroku…I think Kagome's in Love…"

"Kagome In love? But with who?"

"I dunno…" Sango thought more pacing. "Ah! I got it! It's the boy.. That name Inuyasha! It's him! He's the one!"

"So what does that have to do with anything?" he blinked.

"Ah! Monk! Your smart use your head!! If Kouga finds out he'll kill Inuyasha and Kagome will be denied as a priestess and kicked out of the village forever!" Sango was holding Miroku by the shoulders yelling in his face.

"Ok so let's go get her…" said Miroku simply.

"Oh you got a point. Duh" smiled Sango but it disappeared when she felt his hand on her chest. -_- "HENTAI!" WHOMP

Sango walked away. As Miroku twitched with a large lump on his head.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kagome looked around nervously. "He's been gone for a long time." She looked back to the fire that was flaming with life. A Howl of wolfs could be heard and noises also. "Ah! That didn't sound friendly!!" She jumped up grabbing a branch. "C..Ccc C'mon out!! Show yourself!" She looked around "Maybe it's just me…" Kagome slumped down she looked at the Fire. Their was a twig snap and Kagome sprung up trashing a branch and smacking a figure onto the ground.

"Ahhhh.. My head.. Damnit that hurt…" Kagome stood over him pointing the branch at him ready to strike his head off.

"Who are you!? and why are u spying on me!"

"Kagome cut it out" He rolled his eyes.

"Huh? Who are you?" Kagome put the branch down a little dropping her guard.

"Duh! I'm Inuyasha!" He said standing up.

"Liar!! Inuyasha is a demon with white hair and dog ears! You are a human!" She yelled getting the branch ready.

"No let my explain!" He grabbed the branch throwing it away and grabbed her hands.

"Huh?" She blinked staring at his eyes and he stared right back. Kagome blushed. "So it is you. But How?"

"Sit down and I'll explain." Said Inuyasha sitting next to the fire and Kagome sitting next to him. "Every time a new month comes the moon disappears from the earth and since it does that I become human until morning."

"Oh weird so you don't have any Demon powers or anything?"

"Nope not until morning." Kagome moved over to Inuyasha feeling his ears. "Hey whatta doing?!"

"Nothing! It's just so weird seeing you without doggie ears! That's all ^^"smiled Kagome moving back over.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Sango?" Whatta doing?" Asked Miroku following Sango into a forest.

"Shhh! Where's going to find Kagome. If you'll be quiet we'll find her Now Shhh!" At that Miroku shut his mouth and followed Sango like a dog.

"Oh that was yummy!" cried a voice it sounded too much of Kagome's voice and Sango followed pushing away at bushes she came looking over hiding seeing Kagome with Inuyasha.

"So that's what she's been doing.. And I'm guessing that guy is Inuyasha. Right Miroku." "Miroku….? Miroku?" she whispered BANG Miroku hit the ground. "Didn't I tell you to keep away from me."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"So Inuyasha how was it like growing up?" Kagome said out of the blue.

"… Well it was hard.." Kagome moved closer wanting to hear more of it. "I grew up with my mother. She was a human… and the most beautiful women I ever saw. She was caring, gentle and loving. She played ball with me and loved me. The villagers called names like Half bred.. And I was young and innocent I didn't know what it meant. I asked my mother and she started crying for me. I guess she knew that my whole life I was going to be judged and picked on. She felt bad and hugged me." Inuyasha paused he never told anyone in his whole life about his mother or his life, But it was something about Kagome that made him open up. Kagome blinked looking at him. "One day I was playing hide and go seek with her.. When.. I was calling out for my mom and I heard a gagging sound and it sounded like someone was being straggled. I ran as fast as I could and saw.. My mother being straggled by my older bother Sesshoumaru. I didn't know what to do!" Inuyasha's voice was full of rage and anger. "I watched in horror as he killed her and smiled at me and left. From then on I was alone…" He was staring at the ground. "That's why I wanted to become Full demon…to be able to safe someone I cared about and not to be weak but extremely powerful. I small tear ran down Kagome's face. "Huh?" Inuyasha looked over and blinked shocked at how Kagome was crying.

"Sesshoumaru…what is he?" asked Kagome wiping her eyes.

"He's a Youki…" said Inuyasha looking down. Kagome wanted to change the subject as soon as possible.

"Hmm Inuyasha the other day when you were trying to safe me you had a sword…I think it's called the Tetusaiga." Inuyasha looked over.

"You know about it?"

"Yes I do but how did you transform it?"

"I'm not so sure myself…" said Inuyasha still looking at her.

"I have this theory I think it runs off the emotions of how you feel towards humans. The friendlier you like them it transforms the bitter. It doesn't."

Inuyasha gave an surprised look and blushed. "Maybe" he shrugged.

Sango looked with Miroku. "He's a demon?" they said together whispering but shocked.

"What a sec.. Kag told me about the demon she killed…he was a Hanyou…and if I'm correct his has White hair and ears. If this guys really a demon then where's his ears and white hair?"

"Sango.. Maybe it's not the same one or maybe it is…and if you didn't know Hanyou's specially Dog demons have there appearances change when there is no moon." added Miroku smiling. Sango rolls her eyes at him.

"You might think your smart but your not!" she sticks her tongue out at him.

"Your really cute when your angry…" Miroku smiled winking. Sango blushed deep red.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kagome yawned and leaned against Inuyasha's shoulder causing him to blush brick red.

"Inuyasha…I'm sorry to here about your life…I know it was really hard…I mine is too…"

Inuyasha looked at her. "Kagome tell me.." She nodded and closed her eyes.

" I was about 12 and I was picking flowers when I heard screams coming from my home. I ran and when I got in.. I dropped my flowers. There stood a man with a baboon skin on standing over my mother and father. I was scared and I ran out and ran as fast as my legs could carry me and passed out from being so tired….and found myself at a village. I was taken care by a Priestess of the name of Kikyo and trained." Inuyasha looked at Kagome tears fell from her cheeks and her eyes were on the sky.

"She's just like me.." Thought Inuyasha. "Is this why I feel so attached to her and care for her so much…" He looked over at Kagome still her head on his shoulder. "I think I'm in love with this girl.." he muttered to himself and took his hand wiping the tears away from her eyes. Kagome looked over in surprise.

"Inuyasha?" she sat up looking at him. He looks straight into her eyes.

"Kagome.. I've never felt this way about anyone.. Before…"

"I've haven't either Inuyasha…that's why I had to safe you.. Their was just something about you…" Kagome's eyes were glowing in the light of the fire.

Inuyasha blushed. "Girl.. I think you're my weakness…" he grabbed Kagome's arms wrapping them around him and pulling her into a deep kiss. Kagome kissed back.

Sango watched struck with fear. "No…Kagome…No…you.. just can't.. They'll throw you out of the village.. And you can't become a priestess… Kagome…You have to marry Kouga.."
