KAEDE'S VILLAGE..

Kagome sat around a fire with Sango, Kaede, Miroku, and Shippou. Staring into the red flames she could only think of Inuyasha. Why didn't he save me? That look on his face when he found her with Kouga.it was all so confusing! Sometimes she wondered why she didn't just go home and never return.

"Kaede-sama? I think that I.I think I want to go home for a while."

"Quite understandable, your wounds are nothing to worry about though. When will you be returning, so I can tell Inuyasha." The old lady replied watching Kagome with eyes that seemed to know all.

"No Kagome please don't go!" Shippou ran up and hugged Kagome tightly.

"Shippou it will only be for a few days, I just need to rest a little, and I still have school." She smiled and ruffled the young kitsune's hair.

Kagome stared into the dark well and stared back behind her into the now equally dark forest. Half hoping that Inuyasha would appear and beg her to stay she sighed before climbing into the well with her bag and disappearing.

THE NEXT DAY AFTER SCHOOL (KAGOME'S TIME)

Kagome walked down the street towards the shrine trying very hard, but failing, to listen to Hojo's chatter. "Thanks for letting me walk you home Kagome, I would of brought you some herbs or something but I wasn't sure how to cure the common cold."

'Wow, my grandpa must be more imaginative then I give him credit.' She thought agitatedly. Even if it was her own choice to come back, she was regretting it. School was awful, there was a pop quiz in math and she was sure that she had missed all of them except the third question. She sighed for the seventeenth time and smiled at Hojo.

"Well here's my house Hojo, thank you for walking me home." She flashed him a grin and hurried inside. Hojo stared after a confused smile on her face.

INUYASHA'S TIME:

"SHE WENT WHERE?! But she just got back!" Inuyasha fumed angrily.

"It is only for a few days Inuyasha, she needed to get away."

'Away from me.' He thought miserably, "well that's just too bad because I'm going to get her." With that he stomped off towards the well.

There it was, the well was right there in front of him. Suddenly a yellow pack flew out and landed on the grass, followed by the head and then the body of Kagome. Inuyasha watched her climb out with an odd smile on her face. She came back.

Kagom's head snapped up, what was Inuyasha doing here? Was he waiting for her? Again? She shook her head angrily, 'probably just here to come get me so we could gather more jewel shards.'

"Your back?" Inuyasha said not bothering to hide his grin.

"Yes." Came Kagome's reply her anger lost as she stared up at his smiling face. 'I love you.' She thought sadly her hand reaching up to stroke his face than quickly pulling away. She bent down and picked up her bag and marched off around him.

"What are you-" Inuyasha looked at Kagome with surprise as her hand drew nearer and nearer to her face. Suddenly she turned away and Inuyasha found himself feeling regret that he had said anything. "Kagome." He commanded her to stay. She turned slowly looking at him again. "I-I'm sorry. For not.saving you."

"It's fine, Kouga came through in the end." 'no! no! don't say that! Kagome you idiot!' the annoying voice inside her head yelled.

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at her, lost of words, he had tried to apologize! Angrily he turned waiting for her to start walking. Soon she was at his side staring quietly down at the ground as they walked.

She knew he was watching her. She could feel his eyes. "Inuyasha, we need to talk." Inuyasha glared at her.

"We are talking."

"Fine then I need to tell you something very important, but.I can't tell you yet."

"Whatever." Inuyasha growled still angry about the Kouga remark.

(A/N: I'm sorry that this was so short people! I can't think at all today but I wanted to get a chapter up so.yeah.)
