Hello! I started this story before I got any reviews so if I don't give you a shout out, please don't be angry. Well, I know you don't feel like reading this so let's start chapter 2. I don't own Inuyasha!!!!

Chapter2

Kagome was ahead now. Inuyasha was concentrating all of his senses to figure out why Kagome was acting so strange. First she was scared. Then angry, then more anger, then.hate, than jealousy, then regret, then fake curiosity, then fake enthusiasm. What was up with his Kagome? Wait! HIS Kagome.

'Kagome's not mine. I don't court her. I'm going with Kikyo. Straight to hell when the jewels finished. That way, Kagome can live in her time and be happy. And Kikyo will be happy, and so.so will I.'

"INUYASHA! SIT!" Inuyasha went flying to the ground.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" Inuyasha yelled as soon as he got up.

"I called your name 100 times and you just stared at me. You're acting strange Inuyasha, real strange."

"I'M ACTING STRANGE?! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S SCARED ONE MINUTE THEN MAD, THEN SAD THEN WHO KNOWS WHAT!!!!"

Kagome glared at Inuyasha. "I don't think it's any of your business how I feel." Kagome stated coldly.

Inuyasha looked up at her. "K-kagome. If there's something the matter, just tell us." Inuyasha had so much pleading in his eyes; it hurt Kagome to see him like this.

"It's nothing, just stressed out without the jewel shards, ya know? I think it's because I know that I won't be able to get home without them I guess." Kagome walked off, leaving a puzzled group of people behind her.

"You're right, Kagome is acting strange," Shippo whispered.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

The sun was setting and the group was getting tired. Even Inuyasha was getting tired of walking. Usually he would get angry if Kagome asked to take a break, but now, he was really hoping she would. But he didn't want to seem weak so he kept his mouth shut. Kagome however, wasn't even the faintest bit tired. She didn't think she had ever had that much energy in her life.

"You don't need a break do you Kagome? Maybe that's why we can't find Naraku, because you're too tired to since any jewel shards." Everyone knew that was an excuse for all of them to rest, and Kagome knew it. What she said next surprised them all.

"What's the matter? You getting tired or something? Actually, I've never had so much energy before. I want to keep looking. If your tired, just say so. I'm not your speaker. I don't act for anyone." Everyone looked at Kagome shocked. Usually, even if she wasn't tired, if Inuyasha asked her this question, she would say sure, just for everyone else's sake.

"WHAT? I was just worried about the jewel shards. I'm a half demon, I don't need breaks. I have more power than all of you!" Inuyasha was heated. He was tired of her skimpy little attitude.

"Inuyasha. You THINK you have more power than all of us. Sango is a demon exterminator. She's exterminated more demons' than you know. Miroku's wind tunnel makes him stronger than humans, and with the flick of his wrist he could suck you up like a tornado. Kirara is the only one who survived in Sango's village when Naraku attacked it, and she doesn't have a sword, or an IRON REAVER, to protect her. Shippo can transform into any one, so he can just transform. And I have stronger spiritual powers than Kikyo. Inuyasha, face it. You're just like us. You're not different. No matter how different you think you are because you're half demon, I just think of you as Inuyasha." Kagome walked on. Not embarrassed at all.

'This sadness inside of me is turning into.' But before she could finish, she was lifted up into the air. She looked down and saw everyone waving to her and saying, "I hope Inuyasha can get you back to normal. I'm starting to worry."

Kagome sighed and looked at Inuyasha. "Put me down."

"No way! I'm not taking you back until you tell me what's wrong with you." Inuyasha set Kagome down in a clearing and stared down at her. Kagome felt like that stare just brought everything out. Kagome felt forward, sobbing. Inuyasha knelt down and held her.

"Kagome. Please tell me what's the matter." Inuyasha comforted her and talked as if he was the only one who could help her. "Please. Tell me." Kagome sobbed into his kimono and slowly settled down to a soft sniffle every so often. "Inuyasha. I just, just don't want it to stop. It doesn't seem like it, but I hate going back."

Inuyasha looked down at her. "What are you talking about?"

"When I have to go home," she yelled. "I hate going home. It's so boring there. I've grown to love it here. Like I don't belong there anymore." Inuyasha looked down at Kagome. Now he understood. She didn't want the shard hunt to be over. She wanted to stay there. With them. With. him. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and smiled pitifully. Inuyasha looked down and said, "Sometimes.. I wish it didn't have to be over. Ever. That we could go looking for the shards. Forever." Just then, there was a gust of wind and Inuyasha and Kagome saw Naraku's insects and Kikyo's soul stealers.

"Naraku!!! Here! Jump on Kagome!" Inuyasha jumped on and went after the insects. 'No matter what. Kikyo and Naraku always find a way to break us up.' Kagome thought sadly. 'That's why. why the hunt is going to be over. Because of. HER!' Kagome's hate started building up inside of her again. 'This.this is the last time she'll interfere.'

Ok. I think this is a cliffhanger. I have to go to bed now, so I'll update some more tomorrow, and I promise my chapters will get longer! Please review if you liked it! Thanks!
