don't. T.T

Chapter 4: Gone, But Not Forgotten
Inuyasha and Kagome didn't talk the rest of the day.
Inuyasha fought hard to ignore Kagome's longing glances, and
Kagome couldn't bear Inuyasha's pained expressions. Sango,
Miroku, and Shippo thought their behavior was strange, but kept
to themselves. Sango worried for Kagome, knowing first-hang how
much damage a broken heart could cause a person. They reached
Kaede's village at about mid-afternoon. Sango went out with
Kaede to gather medical herbs. Kagome took Shippo to Inuyasha's
forest to play in the flowers. Inuyasha and Miroku were left
alone. Miroku busied himself with starting dinner. Inuyasha
jumped into his favorite tree to think. ^What if she goes back?^
He thought, still worried about Kagome. ^She might never return
to this era again. And it's my fault. . .^ Inuyasha stayed in
the tree long after everyone had eaten and gone to bed. He had
heard Kagome whisper a short goodnight to him from the window,
though she wasn't sure if he had heard her or not. "Goodnight,
Kagome." He whispered back, though he knew she hadn't heard him.
He was soon drifting to sleep again.
"Inuyasha. . .wake up you impertinent fool!" Inuyasha opened his eyes to again face Kikyo. "Kikyo!"
"You always look so surprised to see me, Inuyasha."
"Kikyo, please, I need answers."
"Oh, you want to know what I'm thinking, huh?"
"Kikyo. . ."
"It's quite simple Inuyasha. The soul that the human girl had, that soul belongs to me. Having no mortal body to hold me back now, I can easily manipulate her." Kikyo laughed wickedly.
Inuyasha's eyes widened. "No. Please, Kikyo. . ." He felt
totally helpless.
"Her soul is mine, Inuyasha. And you will kill her with your own hands, just like you killed me." Kikyo smirked.
Inuyasha woke up drenched in a cold sweat. His heart raced. Never before had he been so afraid of anything.

Mwah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Cliff-hanger! Sorry guys, but I gotta pay all those people back who did the same thing to me. I never realized how much fun cliff-hangers were. But don't worry. . .you won't have to wait long for the next chapter. . .as long as you keep reviewing. L8terz!
