After having breakfast, the gang was back to normal. Kagome couldn't stop thinking about what Inuyasha was saying while he was asleep.
'Did he really mean it? Or was he talking about Kikyo?' She thought.
"Well, let's go!" Inuyasha said hastily.
"We need to find the shards of the Shikon Jewel!" Inuyasha got up and was followed by Sango and Miroku. Miroku had already gotten back to normal, and as usual, had his hands in places where they shouldn't be.
'Looks like he's back to normal, I think I liked what he said more when he was drunk' Sango thought sadly.
"Touch me there one more time and I'll hit you with Hiraikotsu so hard you'll see stars." Sango said with a deadly tone in her voice.
"Heheh.It's not my fault I can't.Hey, where's Kagome?"
"Hmmm?"
"Kagome!! Come on!!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Huh? Oh.I'm coming," she said, running up to Inuyasha as fast as her legs would carry her.
"Kagome, is there something wrong? I told you, if I said anything to hurt you I don't mean it."
"Yea I know." She said sadly looking anywhere but Inuyasha.
'I've never seen her like this.I wonder what I said....' Inuyasha thought to himself.
"Kagome," before he could finish his sentence, he heard Kagome yell out, "I sense a shard and it's approaching us very quickly!!"
"Where?!"
Something in the distance was indeed approaching. Inuyasha grabbed hold of Tetsuaiga ready to attack whatever came. Then, in a matter of seconds he saw the carrier of the shards. Kouga. The super fast wolf demon who always referred to Kagome as his* woman. He knew that wasn't true, because Kagome was his* not anyone elses.
"Kagome," Kouga yelled happily, "Why it's so nice to see you, beautiful!" Kagome blushed and greeted him.
"Hello, Kouga-kun. It's nice to see you too."
'Now that hurt.' Inuyasha thought.
'Why does she always be so nice to him and call him* Kouga kun and
never does anything like that for me? He kidnapped her for goodness
sake!!! I* saved her not him!!' he thought angrily.
"GET AWAY FROM KAGOME YOU STINKING WOLF!"
"Hah! Make me!! Dog Turd!!" Inuyasha took out his sword, ready to slice his rival in half.
"Stop it Inuyasha!! Kouga-kun is our friend!" Kagome yelled pulling his hand away from the Tetsuaiga. Kouga smirked with a winning smile on his face and winked at Kagome.
"Of course!! Anything for you Kagome!!
"This mangy mutt isn't going to get in between our* relationship now will he?"
'Err. Here we go again. Why do these things always happen to me? I don't like you Kouga.Not that way at least.' She thought.
"Err. um.sure thing Kouga!" Kagome said laughing nervously.
"RELATIONSHIP?!" Inuyasha roared.
"SINCE WHEN DID YOU AND KAGOME HAVE A RELATIONSHIP!!? SHE ISN'T YOURS!!!!!"
"Inuyasha, I beg you, calm down" Miroku said, trying to be the peacemaker among the two adversaries.
"I WILL NOT CALM DOWN. KOUGA SHE ISN'T YOUR WOMAN!!"
"Then who's woman is SHE?! YOURS?!"
'YES!! SHE'S MINE!! ALWAYS HAS BEEN ALWAYS WILL BE!!' He thought angrily.
"I thought your woman was that dead priestess person!!!" Kouga yelled"
'Oh yeah.Ugh!' He thought. "Uh. What's your point?"
"My point is that she isn't your woman!! SHE'S MINE!!"
'I've had just about enough talking to this stinking wolf.' He thought again.
"Why would she like you anyway?" Inuyasha mumbled.
"I HEARD THAT MUTT! WHY WOULD SHE LIKE SOME STINKING HALF BREED LIKE YOU?!" Now that hit Inuyasha hard.
'Kagome doesn't think that.Does she? I.She said it didn't matter whether I was human or demon it's inside that counts..Or was she.'
After that, everything went silent. Everyone knew how tense Inuyasha would get when anyone called him a half breed. 'This could lead to some serious trouble.' They all thought. Inuyasha had an unreadable look on his face and he was staring sadly at the ground.
"Is that what you all think of me? A half breed..that's it?" Suddenly ill memories flooded into Inuyasha's mind.
* Flashback *
Inuyasha sat on the green luscious grass and spotted a bunch of children his age playing with a ball.
"Can I play?" He asked shyly.
"Eww! Half-Breed!" yelled a child.
"NO WAY!! HUMANS* ONLY!" yelled another. "Let's go play somewhere else. Away* from half-breeds like you!"
*End Flashback*
'My whole life I've been ridiculed at for being different. My whole life no one really accepted me for who I was. My friends do. or do they?? Have they just been playing me for a fool to help them collect the sacred jewel shards??' He thought.
"Inuyasha, you know we don't think that." Kagome said trying to comfort him. Inuyasha backed away from her and refused to look into her eyes.
"I.....I need to be alone for now." With that, Inuyasha excused himself to the forest ahead.
"Nice work Kouga!!" Sango said angrily.
"Look what you did!" Shippo said glaring at the wolf demon, "You hurt his feelings!!!" he said with a childish tone to his voice.
"I understand that you are not fond of Inuyasha and that he is not fond of you. But do you not think you could have been less harsh with your convictions?" Miroku asked just as annoyed as the others.
"I think you'd better leave Kouga." Kagome said barely even looking at him.
"But."
"Kouga.please."
"Alright Kagome, I'm sorry if I hurt you." With that, he hurried on back to his tribe.
'I wonder how Inuyasha is.' Kagome said, running the direction that Inuyasha took.
