Kagome had finally freed Inu Yasha and Miroku of the cursed hair styles, and she would have fixed Sesshomaru's but she hadn't seen him since that night.
She sighed to herself, completely disinterested in today's journey. Shippou sat on her shoulder, constantly talking nonstop.
Inu Yasha walked in the front of the group as usual, but his shoulders seemed slightly more slumped than usual, and his face seemed to have taken on a ghostly pale shine. He gnawed at his lip thoughtfully, though no one besides Kagome could tell any difference.
She shuffled uneasily, feeling Inu Yasha's strong emotions. She seemed to sense nervousness, but what would make him nervous?
Her heart lept. Kikyou! She must be here, that must be what was making him nervous.
She stopped dead in her tracks and her head snapped around, her eyes darting everywhere. But she could see no soul stealers about, there was no sign as to even Kikyou's existance.
The rest looked at her with a puzzled expression, including Inu Yasha. His claws curled around the hilt of his sword and his ears were swiveling like mad.
"What is it Kagome?" He said, his eyes to busy darting to look at her.
"Oh um, nothing, sorry, thought I saw, a um, a bee." She stuttered.
"A bee?!" Shippou said and squeezed onto her arm.
The rest seemed to not believe her, certainly not Inu Yasha. She could see him glancing back at her from time to time.
That night at camp she felt uneasy. She had to get away from them for an hour or two. She felt so cramped, as if she didn't even belong near them.
While they weren't looking she slipped into the forest and started running, unaware of the presence that was following her through the trees.
She stopped at a deep brook and sat. She slipped her feet into the warm water and inhaled deeply. She inhaled the scent of the forest, of the water, and of, wait, what was he doing here?
Kagome stood up quickly and looked to thetree just above her. She growled quietly.
"Come out or I'll cut down the tree." She snarled. (-Cartoony comes barging in.- You can't kill trees!! Trees are oxygen!! -Rabid grabs Cartoony and drags her out.- Now, on with the story.)
He jumped out of the trees, with an eyrie whiteness to his skin.
"What are you doing here Inu Yasha?" She asked. (HA! You thought it was gonna be fluffy!!)
He shifted from foot to foot uneasily. "I um, had to uh, talk to you..." Her mumbled.
"Oh." She said taking a few steps towards him. She used her two fingers to tilt his chin up. "But I'm up here, so stop looking at the ground." She said with a grin.
Relief seemed to wash over his face, but something she hadn't expected happened. He reached out and grabbed her into an embrace.
She lay in his arms, to stunned to speak. (Don't worry, this is still a Sessy, Kaggy fic.)
"I love you Kagome." He said so quietly it was barely audible even to her. She blinked a couple times. Was she hearing right? Did he just say-
He pulled her up and kissed her. She was caught in the moment and she let her tongue slide between her teeth.
Her eyes snapped open as his lips parted also, but she could see no emotion on his face, and his eyes remained closed.
She closed her eyes again they stayed that way for about five minutes, then Kagome pulled away.
"I'm sorry Inu Yasha, I, I, I just can't!" She said with tears falling as she ran off into the forest.
He stood there, too stunned to speak. His face held a hurt expression, the deepest hurt ever. His mind was numb, he couldn't think. This was why he was so afraid to tell her, he was so afraid that his feelings for her wouldn't be returned. And his fears had come to reality.
He sank down and let himself fall against the dirt, lost completely in thought. His senses refused to work, so he just sat, staring off into space.
In the brush behind him Kikyou sat with a grin on her face. She moved her hand away from the brush and let it close together. So Kagome didn't return Inu Yasha's feelings. Perhaps she would now be able to drag him to hell with ease, without the wench interfering, when Inu Yasha was away from the others, (and not in a mental state) she would open the portal and he would willingly go with her.

Kagome ran as hard as she could, her muscles screaming at her, begging her to stop. She saw a giant boulder and sat down on it, trying to muffle her sobs the best she could.
"What is wrong Kagome?" A cool voice asked from above her. She shot her head upwards and saw Sesshomaru laying casually in a the tree.
He jumped down. "Why do you cry Kagome?" He asked. "And, why do you smell of that filthy hanyou?" He added, his brow furrowing. "He didn't make you mate, did he?"
"Oh no, its not that." She assured him, wiping the tears from her face. "Besides, what do you care what happens to me anyways?" She added with a snarl and a glare.
He blinked, a puzzled look on her face, and she noticed that he had gotten his hair fixed one way or another.
"I thought we were, what word do you use? Frrr-ieeeend-s." He said.
"Friends are crutches for the weak." She said and turned her head away from him.
The next thing she knew she was being gathered into his arms, and he held her bridal style. He sat on the rock crosslegged and she relaxed, her muscles no longer tensed as she leaned against his chest. She felt herself fall into a slumber, the most peaceful in a long, long time.

Rabid: Don't worry, this is NOT going to be an Inu/Kaggy fic, I'm just setting up the plot for later on. I don't know how much longer this fic will last, but I'm hoping to drag it on more...
