Disclaimer-*Tear* I don't. . . *cries* I don't. . . *bawls* I DON'T OWN INU-YASHA! *sniff* Are you happy now? I confessed, he isn't mine! *gets evil grin* But he isn't yours either! Bwhahahahahaha!
A/N- I received a review wondering if it was Kouga that Kagome was thinking about, well, yes. Sorry if it took me too long to update, I have had problems with my Internet recently, it won't let me sign on. Here is the next chapter, I hope you like it. By the way, if I don't get any reviews on this, I am dropping the fic. I have decided it was a bit too sappy and I have been around Chibi Okami too much lately so I am adding a twist and making it a bit. . . . well just check it out.
Chapter 3
Kagome was walking silently behind Inu-Yasha and then stopped suddenly. She stood there and stared at him. He turned around in looked at her. As soon as he did, she turned around and started walking away. He ran after her. When he caught up to her, he inquired, "What's wrong?" She continued walking and said nothing. He tried to ask again but before he could finish his question, she stopped walking and he almost ran into her.
She turned around and asked and yelled at him. "Watch where you're going! Were you planning to keep walking and run into me or something?" She was furious, but she wasn't really sure why, she just was. Inu-Yasha stood there in silence. 'What had he done?' It wasn't his fault she stopped so suddenly. 'Is that really why she was mad?' He wasn't sure, but he knew something wasn't right. She turned around to face him, "What are you looking at?" He jumped in front of her and grabbed her wrist. She jerked away and he grabbed it again. She reluctantly let him lead her to the river and she sat down as soon as she got there. He plopped down next to her. It was getting warm out so she took off her shoes and stuck her feet into the cool, crisp spring water. The waterfall was nearby and they could hear it rushing over the jagged rocks. Inu-Yasha knew Kagome was upset, even if he didn't know why, so he decided to leave her be and go get some food. The only logical thing he could think of was fish, and they had that so much lately. He went to Keade to see if she knew of something.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sango and Miroku were walking along the open prairie through various types of wildflowers. Miroku looked over and saw a pink and red flower sticking up so he ran over and picked it. He came back and handed it to Sango. Sango thanked him and accepted it. Shippo and Kiara had already run off to who knows where so Sango and Miroku were alone. Miroku was surprisingly behaving himself for once. They continued walking until they started to feel their stomachs growl. They started to hunt for berries and Sango pulled out a bowl of ramen Kagome had given her. After they finished eating, they sat there and talked for a while. Sango yawned, it had been a long day and she was tired. Miroku was also rather tired so he laid down and rested. Sango decided it wasn't a bad idea and she laid next to him, keeping her distance to insure he didn't try anything. She gradually scooted closer and eventually had her head on his chest with his arm around her. They both feel asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inu-Yasha came back very pleased with himself. He had caught and cooked a wild boar with only a little help from Keade. He looked at Kagome, she seemed to be in the same spot he left her. He walked up to her as quietly as he could, trying his hardest not to be noticed. He softly moved her hair off of her neck and kissed the side of it gently. She turned and looked at him with confused eyes. She wasn't sure if that was Inu-Yasha, maybe it was some imposter. No, it was him. Maybe he thought I was Kikyou. No, he wouldn't have mistaken me and her. It finally occurred to her, and she felt like she was going to melt right there. He had never kissed her before, but she liked it. She never really felt this way in front of him before. He pulled out the boar from behind his back and smiled. She smiled back and he sat down next to her. He served out the food and began eating. He realized he was eating too fast and slowed down. Kagome just giggled. He smiled and continued to munch. After they finished, they got up, and walked around a little bit. They entered the prairie Sango and Miroku had just been in. They walked up a hill and when they looked down, they saw Sango's head on Miroku's chest with them both fast asleep. Kagome looked over at Inu-Yasha and he looked back at her. He didn't seem phased by this, nor did he look like he did when they were eating. He was back to his regular self, not the caring compassionate one that would admit he was in love with Kagome, but the one that repeatedly told himself love made you weak and he could do without it. Kagome was partially disappointed, partially glad. She liked it when Inu-Yasha kissed her and hugged her, but at times, it scared her and made her worry about him. They walked on and in no time were bickering about something else.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Uh-oh," Shippo whispered. "Kiara? Where did you go Kiara?" He was in a black cave, not sure how he got there, but knew it was a mysterious cave he had never been in. Actually, he wasn't really sure if it was a cave. It was so dark he could not tell. It was musty like a cave, but you could never be sure. The last thing he knew, he was following Kiara. She had sensed something and Miroku and Sango were pre-occupied. He sighed. He couldn't get away from it, everyone had someone else and the whole thought of love made him sick to his stomach. He wanted a family, a mother and father, and he wanted Kagome, Inu-Yasha, Sango, and Miroku to be his family, but he was hoping they would be able to go without the whole huggie-kissy thing. Yuck. He still wasn't sure where he was, he had followed Kiara, had a pain in his head, and everything went black. He began wondering out of the cave and was calling for Kiara. He heard a whimper. When he looked over, he saw Kiara laying on the ground (not in her transformation) injured. She was limp, no movement what so ever. Her head was rested against a rock that was about the size of her body, and the rest of her body lay there on the cold, wet ground.
"Kiara!" He said as he came running over to her. He tried to pick her up but he was much too weak and as he tried to shove his hands under her, he ran into her wound and heard her whine again. "Oh, I am so sorry. What happened?"
Kiara just laid there silent. She has a gash in her side about an inch long and her tan fur was stained with blood. Shippo thought about what he should do and finally came to the conclusion to go get help. He made Kiara as comfortable as he possibly could, and ran off after Inu-Yasha and Kagome. Before he reached Inu-Yasha, he spotted Sango and Miroku. 'Oh no! What did Miroku do to Sango?' He jumped up and down screaming wildly.
"Wake up! Miroku, Sango, wake up!" Sango stirred and Miroku sat up. "Sango! Kiara is hurt!" This got Sango's attention and she sat up so fast she almost bumped heads with Miroku.
"What?" Sango questioned. "Kiara is hurt? Where is she?"
"Follow me Sango!"
Sango nodded. "Miroku!" Sango ordered. "Go get Inu-Yasha and Kagome, now! Inu-Yasha should be able to follow our scent and find us. Now move!"
Miroku obeyed, partially because he wanted to help and partially because he was afraid of what Sango might do if he didn't. He went running screaming for Inu-Yasha.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inu-Yasha's ears perked up. Who was that? In the distance he could hear someone calling his name. Kagome looked at him in surprise.
"What are you doing?" She asked him. He jumped at the sudden words that escaped from her mouth.
"I thought I heard someone call my name." He replied patiently.
"Are you hallucinating again?" She questioned.
"No!" He answered very defensively.
"Baka." Kagome breathed. 'How can someone be so stupid?' She thought. Her thought quickly disappeared and she felt kind of stupid. Miroku was running over the hill and across the prairie calling for Inu-Yasha and Kagome. Inu-Yasha jumped over to Miroku.
"What do you want?" He asked irritated. "Kiara is hurt and something strange is going on, not sure what yet. Shippo just came and him and Sango went to Kiara. He said he and Kiara had picked up on something and he followed her and the next thing he knew, everything went black."
Kagome had caught up right as Miroku finished and he had to say it again. Kagome stood there thinking. 'What could it have been?' They all ran off with Inu-Yasha in the lead. After running for about five minutes, Kagome brought up the question of where they were headed.
"I don't know." Miroku said. "I was just following Inu-Yasha, he is the one with the keen sense of smell, he should be able to pick up on Sango's scent."
'Ooops' thought the silver-headed leaded. 'I was supposed to be searching for Sango's scent. Oooops Won't it be fun when I tell Kagome and Miroku I can't find her scent.' He was now scared. Sure he was a demon and much stronger than humans, but when Kagome got mad, she gained a freakish strength, a strength he was scared of. He took a deep breath and prepared to flop to the ground. Here I go.
A/N~ Don't you just love cliffys? They are so much fun! I know this was a short chapter but it is 1:30 and I am tired and can't think of anything else. Plus, if I would have kept going, I wouldn't have been able to leave this nice little cliff-hanger for all of you reading this.
