For the record, I do not own Inuyasha nor the characters. So don't sue me, I have no money.

Inuyasha didn't waste anytime. Within seconds, he was behind Sango. Sango re-acted to this by grabbing her katana and slashing him against his waist as she jumped back away. Her hand went to her huge boomerang, and she held it up and then brought it back down in one swift move to attack.
"Hiraikotsu!" She watched as Inuyasha prepared his own attack.
"Sankon Tetsusou!" Yellow streaks went out towards the boomerang and knocked it off course, sending it flying back to Sango. She caught it, but placed it aside. Instead, she grabbed her pouch of poison powder and tossed it at his head. He hit it with his left arm, but it exploded and surrounded him.
"Ahhh!" Inuyasha covered his nose and mouth with one hand and jumped up out of the poisonous gasses. Instead of going after Sango, he busts through the door to the cabin and scooped Kagome back up into his arms.
"Let me go, goddamnit!" She began pulling his hair, biting him, punching him, scratching him--everything! But he just would not let go!
"Quit whinning and shut up!" Inuyasha headed for Sango, using his elbow to hit her in the stomach. Sango fell backwards as she got the air knocked out of her. She rolled over on her side and curled up into a ball as she held onto her stomach.
"Ki...rara...!" She called out while trying to gasp for breath. Kirara immediatley went to her master's side, nuzzling Sango's head with her own. Sango pulled herself up, and spoke while gasping for breath.
"Follow...them, Kirara. Make sure... he doesn't hurt her... just keep... a low profile... don't let them know you're watching... and if he shows any signs of hurting her, kill him and then bring Kagome-chan, back..."
Kirara growled lowly in response then jumped up into the sky. Her nose picked up the scent of where they were going, so she followed that scent.
Sango managed to stand up and walk back inside of her cabin. She walked over to the couch and laid down on it. She snuggled her head against the pillow. Sunset was coming soon, and she felt better knowing that Kagome would be safe with Kirara there to watch over her. In her heart, she also hoped that the way Kagome looked would remind Inuyasha of his past lover, and also protect her. But hoping and it actually happening are two different things. **Inuyasha wants nothing more than to become a full demon. In order to do so, he must kill Kagome within a certain amount of time. How long that is, I don't know. Kami-sama... please protect Kagome-chan. The only reason she's probably fighting against him is for Souta. At least let her live long enough to save him.**
~~~
Kirara continued to follow the smell of Inuyasha and Kagome. Her head jerked to the left as she picked up another scent. It smelled like Inuyasha... but, Inuyasha was heading north? Plus, Kagome's scent was going north, so she stayed on that track.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her back and she released a loud roar, falling among the trees, hitting the branches. She hit the ground with a loud thud, knocking her out. It also caused her to return to her smaller form. From the bushes, a small toad with a large staff jumped out.
"Ooh! We've caught the cat thing! Sesshomaru-sama will be pleased that I did this all by myself! OW!!"
A small girl appeared behind him with her fist formed into a ball.
"You dork, stop celebrating! We have to get this cat to Sesshomaru-sama!" She bent down and scooped the unconcious cat into her arms, stroking her head gently.
"I swear, Rin, you have a soft heart! Far too soft to be around Sesshomaru-sama and myself!"
"Jakken, shut up! Look who's talking Mr. "Oh, save me, Sesshomaru-sama"! Coward." She said as she turned away and started to walk off. Jakken crossed his arms and pouted some. He started mumbling angrilly as he followed the girl.
~~~
Inuyasha and Kagome arrived back at the cave. Inuyasha seemed to be calm, but Kagome was struggling and screaming at him.
"Goddamnit, you stupid dog, let me go!!"
Silence. He then dropped her onto the ground without saying a word. Kagome landed on her hands and knees. This time, she didn't come back empty handed. She slowly pulled out the pocket knife she stole from Sango's house. She raised the blade up over her head as she turned to him and brought it down with force. He saw the attack and growled, grabbing both of her arms and slamming her into the wall with her arms pinned over her head. He narrowed his eyes as he glared down at her.
The sun was now going down and the last of the rays went through the cave. Inuyasha's eyes and grip softened up as he looked down at her face. **Those eyes...those brown eyes... the black hair... and my god, the way her face is shaped...** He let her go and she dropped the blade, placing her arms at her side. Inuyasha placed his arms at his side to as he continued to stare at her.
**What the hell is his problem? Why is he looking at me like that?** She blinked and gasped when she felt his claws moving slowly over her cheek. Kagome felt herself relax. No one had ever touched her to gently. Her eyes closed, and the words that Sango said came back to her.
*"Actually, you look like his lover who died. Maybe he'll spare your life since you do."*
This caused Kagome's eyes to widen and push him away. She slid down the cave wall, hugging her knees as she looked up at him. Inuyasha sat back up and looked down at her.
"The hell did you do that for?!"
"I'd rather have you hit me than stare at me because I look like your dead lover!"
Inuyasha blinked. How could she have known? He then sighed as he thought about Sango telling her. Was it true? Was he actually showing sympathy to this girl because she reminded him of...her? He released a deep sigh and walked to the other wall, slamming his fist into it, causing pieces of it to shatter. Kagome closed her eyes, and then opened them to look up at him. Inuyasha pulled his fist away, and looked back at her. He blinked at the look he saw on her face. It wasn't fear, nor anger... sympathy? No...
She sighed and walked over to him, taking his hand up into hers. "Baka..." She muttered and brought him to her bag. She sat down and pushed him infront of her. Inuyasha blinked a few times as she started going through her bag. Kagome pulled out bandages and an anticeptic to stop it from getting infected.
"This is gonna sting."
"Feh, I can handle--OW! OW! OW! Goddamnit, what the hell is that shit!? It fucking hurts!" He tried to bring his hand back, but Kagome had a firm grip.
"Be still and let me finish, baka!" She wrapped the bandages around his knuckles as fast as she could and as tight as she could. When she finished he looked at his hand and flexed his fingers. They were both silent for a while until Kagome spoke up.
"Inuyasha."
"What?"
"Please, let me go to my Mother on the other side of this forest... after I've completed what I need to do, then you can do as you wish with me. Please, Inuyasha..." Her eyes were soft and pleading. She really wanted to do this.
Inuyasha looked down at her and thought for a bit. "Do you mind if I go with you?"
"Why, so you'll make sure I don't run away?"
"That, and I don't want anyone else to kill you. If you die, you die by my hands."
Kagome rolled her eyes and sighed. "Fine."
"So, where are we going?"
"To my Mom's."
"What for?"
"Reasons."
Inuyasha's ears went up and twitched as he detected something. He turned to the entrance of the cave and looked out.
"What's your name anyway?"
"Higurashi Kagome."
"Fine, grab your stuff, we're leaving now."
"Why?"
"You wanna see your Mom, right?" He turned away and looked down at her. She nodded.
~~~
Kagome crawled up onto his back with her stuff in her hands. Inuyasha jumped and and landed onto the ground.
"What direction?"
"Go east."
"Hold on tight!"
She wrapped her arms around his neck, tightly, as well as her legs around his waist. The wind kept blowing against her, so she burried her face in his thick hair.
"How in the hell can you see in the dark and run at this speed?"
"I'm half-demon, did you forget that?" He gave a small smirk.
"Inuyasha, can I trust you that you won't bring any harm to my Mom, jii-san, and myself until I'm through with this?"
"Yes, I promise."
And with that said, Inuyasha took off into the night with the girl on his back. Little did they know that somewhere in the forest, another pair of golden eyes was keeping a close watch on their every move.

...Would that be considered a cliffhanger? o_o If so, I'm so sorry. =p I just love doing that to make it more interesting. Wow...I bet everyone's thinking "FINALLY CHAPTER 4! Now, will the bitch hurry up with Chapter 5?!" Lol. ^^; I'm sorry, I'll hurry up with Chapter 5 as soon as I can, I promise. On Wenesday(did I even spell that right?) I'm gonna go take my driver's test for my liscense... x.x pray that I don't screw up. Thanks for the reviews, and bye bye!
