Chapter 22

Kagome's Feelings

Kagome walked along the sidewalk as a light rain fell. A car drove by, splashing her. Still, she kept walking, her face emotionless and set.

Inside her mind though, emotions were swirling around in a confused jumble.

"Stupid Inu-Yasha," she muttered. "He doesn't care at all about my feelings. It's always Kikyo he thinks about! When he realizes she's nearby, he goes running off to her, no matter what he says to me!"

She stopped under an overhanging canopy above a door and waited for the rain to stop.

"Well, Inu-Yasha?" Miroku looked questioningly at the hanyou. "Are you going after Kagome or not?"

"Back off, perv," Inu-Yasha growled in reply.

Xelloss surveyed the two, and a mischievous glint came into his eyes.

"Ohhhhhhh.... I didn't know you two were that way...." He turned to the others smiling. "Why don't we leave these two lovebirds alon--" He stopped abruptly.

Of course... that can be expected when Hiraikotsu, a Fireball, a Dug Haut, a Kaze no Kizu, and a staff chucked by a monk with very good aim hit you simultaneously.

"Ow..." Xelloss exclaimed.

Shippo popped up onto Sango's shoulder.

"Sango, can I finish him off?" He looked up hopefully at her.

"Well..." the taijiya looked doubtfully at the tiny kitsune. "I dunno if that would be such a good idea..."

"Pweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese?????" Shippo's eyes got big, cute, and irresistible.

"AUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!" Xelloss fainted.

"Looks like Shippo can beat Xelloss no problem..." Lina mused... "Shippo- you're welcome to travel with us anytime!" "Uh... thanks," Shippo responded, looking over at Amelia. "I think..." he added shuddering.
