CHAPTER SEVEN: Not far off, but a long way from it "Well, that was weird." Inuyasha said, looking around. Then a slip of paper fell from the sky. Inuyasha read it aloud, after catching it. "Follow your heart; do not stray from it because if you do.you'll lose it.forever." It said. Inuyasha blinked, then slitted his eyes. "I don't even get what that means." Inuyasha said, sighing. He slipped the paper into his kimono, then held Kagome a little tighter.

"Well! He has no clue on what to do!" A feminine voice said, irritated. "WELL DUH UH. You made it so unclear! Idiot!" Another feminine, only a little cattish, voice said. "She's sorry! Wait until they get one tenth of the way there!" A male voice said with a laugh. "Mhm! THAT MEANS ME!" Another male voice said. "Well, we might as well make sure they make it here, ne?" The girl voice said, giggling. "Yep-yep!" The cattish girl voice said.

"Mhh. Inuyasha." Kagome said, opening her eyes. She was still bleeding, but only from her forehead. Her cat-demon side had healed her back some, now she was healing, but she was still bleeding from the inside. "Kagome. are you. nevermind, it's stupid to ask if you're ok." Inuyasha said, sighing. "I am ok. I think." Kagome said, smiling weakly.

Inuyasha smiled, and sat her on her feet. "You think you can walk?" Inuyasha said, looking at her tail, which was swishing back and forth slowly. "I think." Kagome said, walking a few steps forward. She nodded then stumbled forward. Inuyasha caught her, and then lifted her up. "Nope, not yet." He said, sighing. Kagome blushed, and then set her head on Inuyasha's shoulder.

Inuyasha sighed, and began walking through the forest, holding Kagome closely. Another slip of paper fell down, and landed on Kagome's lap. It said 'for Kagome' on the cover. Kagome blinked a little. "I might as well read it." Kagome said, opening the paper. "Follow your woman's intuition. If it says stay, then stay. If it says go, then go." Kagome read in her mind.

Inuyasha sighed, and watched Kagome put the paper into her kimono. "Let's go then, Inuyasha." Kagome said, smiling weakly. Inuyasha began running, leaping, and jumping through the forest. Kagome, growing sleepy, yawned then looked up. There was no sky.but just a mist covering and moving around. 'Weird.' Kagome thought, tilting her head down. "Kagome..? I have a question." Inuyasha said, while leaping onto a tree branch.

He tilted his head down, and looked at Kagome's face. "Do you believe in love at first sight?" Inuyasha asked, tilting his head back up, then leaping again. "Well yeah. It's possible, and it happens everyday." Kagome said, yawning a little. She then tilted her head down, and shifted a bit. "Cat-girl, you're kinda heavy ya know." Inuyasha said, getting a better hold on her. "It's because you've been holding me too long, and your arms can't take it." Kagome said, sighing.

"Set me down. I can walk." Kagome added, yawning a little. Inuyasha landed on a branch, then set her down. She leapt onto a branch not far off, then smiled. "Yeah, I can walk." She said, leaping onto another branch. Inuyasha smiled, and then jumped on the branch she was standing on. 'I wonder.' He thought, picking her up, and purposely putting his hand right on her bottom.

Kagome shrieked, and then smacked him. She leapt up, and landed on the branch. "Pervert!!!" She shrieked, leaping off the branch. She sighed heavily, and then began running to the left of her. Inuyasha stood on the branch rubbing his face, mumbling something. A slip of paper then landed right on Inuyasha's head. He growled then snatched it. "Helping yourself is nice. Helping others is even better." Inuyasha read in his mind. He realized what it meant, and then ran after Kagome.
