"Inuyasha...I....you can't go anywhere you're hurt."

"FEH! I DON'T CARE!"

Kagome looked at him and took some more rubbing alcohol and wiped some more of his wounds.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! GET THAT THING OFF!" He yelled angrily pushing the bottle away.

"Inuyasha! You're hurt!"

"You act as if I'm going to die or something!!!" He yelled. 'I hope the poison doesn't take too much of an effect....'

"I don't know...."

"What?"

"I.....I feel like you're hiding something from me and that you really are hurt.......hurt badly." She said hanging her head down.

'Oh she's good.' He thought.

"Kagome, don't worry about me. I'm half demon I can get through anything!"

Kagome sighed and looked down sadly. "What if its not.." She whispered.

"What?"

"What if..something happens...."

Inuyasha looked at her and frowned. "I don't know." He answered truthfully. 'I don't know...It depends on what kind of poison was shot through me.' He thought.

"But what I do know, is that whether it's bad or not, I'm still going to spend time with you."

"You need to rest." She replied, putting the alcohol, much to Inuyasha's happy smile, away and took out a bunch of cloth and bandages.

"So..what exactly happened?" She asked pulling his arm towards her to cover it with a bandage.

"Uhm, I was walking back..and I heard Shippo yell and when I went to go and see what it was about, there was a giant spider demon trying to kill him."

"Is..he okay?"

"He got away, without a scratch." He replied thankful, then groaning out from a pain in his shoulder where he got bitten.

Kagome looked at the wound on his shoulder carefully.

'Spider demon...bit him?.....that happened once before.. When he became human..he was..poisoned....'

(A/N If anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about he episode/manga, by the way one of my ultimate favs..Mainly because of the cute Kagome and Inuyasha parts..but...it's called, " The New Moon and The Black Haired Inuyasha." If anyone doesn't know about this episode, feel free to ask and I'll give you a good explanation anytime. :D )

"Inuyasha, you...didn't get poisoned did you?"

'How'd..she...' Inuyasha stared at her blankly thinking about what she said.

"Nope. It just clawed and scratched me, that's all." He replied, feeling extremely guilty for lying to her. 'I don't want her to worry.' He thought.

"Ok...." She said, continuing to bandage his wounds.

"Where's Shippo?" Sango asked running frantically around the area. Miroku sighed and grabbed his staff.

"He probably went off for a walk or something.

"Are you sure? He would have told us."

"He's a demon; he can out-run pretty much all demons. Except super fast ones, like Inuyasha or Sesshomaru or Kouga." He replied. He didn't want to admit it, but he had a bad feeling about Shippo. Something just wasn't right.

"Miroku, don't you think it's odd that he left?"

He tried to keep quiet to keep the exterminator calm and not worried. "Sango....I'm hoping he's alright. I don't sense any evil auras around here, there are no demons from the distance. At least, not from my senses."

"He's just a child. Like....my little nephew or something."

Miroku knew what she meant and sighed.

"He'll be fine."

"You will not say a word to him, understand?" Kikyo said after giving Shippo some physical punishment. The poor little kitsune now had bruises all over him.

"If you say one little word, then I will kill Kagome. And I know where she is." She said menacingly. "I must be going now. Remember. You tell, and the girl dies."

Everything was quiet. Sota had left the room and leaving Kagome and Inuyasha alone. Silence filled the air. Neither was willing to speak at that moment. Kagome sighed and continued doing Inuyasha's bandages and avoided looking him the eye.

Inuyasha however, was busy staring at her trying to get her to look at him. He winced in pain as Kagome continued. 'This hurts more than I thought.'

"The demon did a lot of damage to you. You should stay, and rest." Kagome whispered.

"I don't need any------"

"You're staying and resting. I don't care what you do."

"It's not like I'm going to die today." Inuyasha said to her. 'Today, I'll live..but a week from now...will I?'

"I've still got a bad feeling." She continued finishing the last bandage on him.

"It's not like I've never gotten attacked by a demon anyway." He responded.

"Inuyasha, how sure are you that the demon didn't poison you?"

"Pretty sure." He responded feeling extremely guilty yet again.

"Oh..Did anything happen after you fought off the demon?" She asked looking at him for the first time.

Flashback

"Have you chosen? You do remember that you can bring me back the way I was before I was twisted up in hatred. " Kikyo said looking at him.

'Bring her back?' Shippo thought surprised. 'He can't choose between the two...' He thought looking at Kikyo as she smirked at the half-demon. 'Don't do it!! She wants to kill you! Kagome doesn't!'

"Kikyo, I can't choose between two people that mean too much to me."

End Flashback

Inuyasha gulped nervously. "No, just..uhm.some interruptions." He said uncomfortably.

"Oh...What do you plan on doing when you get the Shikon Jewel?"

Flashback

"You can bring me back."

End Flashback

"Become a demon?" She said sadly.

"What's wrong with you? You know that's what I wanted to do with the jewel from the start."

Kagome sulked. "Kagome, don't you want me to become stronger? It'll be easier to do lots of things. No need to worry about enemies, people attacking....."

"I like you just the way you are."

"Wh-What?" He stuttered. 'She likes me...as a half-demon? Half demon, half human? Shunned by both races?'

"I like you just the way you are." She repeated. "Can't you just stay like this?"

"I....." 'She wants me to stay the way I am....Kikyo...she wanted me..to become human. I should ask Kagome what she thinks about me being human.'

Kagome sighed. "It's your decision...but; I don't want you to lose your heart and soul in the process."

"I won't. All those demons were bad from the start. Kagome, if I turned human, what would you say?"

'Human....?' She thought.

"Why would you do that? We're all just weak. As you've said countless times before."

"I wasn't serious. I'm serious about this. What would you say?"

Kagome shrugged. "To tell you the truth, I like all your forms...human, half demon...even demon, which I might add in that form you've almost killed me a couple times.But if you chose to be human, its your decision."

"Would you..be happy?"

'That was the only way Kikyo would stay with me...The only way she could be happy..If I used the jewel to become a full human.' He thought.

Kagome didn't answer. "I'd be happy no matter what. As long as your still the Inuyasha I know now."

'Kagome.....' He thought mindlessly.

"You mean, you want me to stay arrogant, selfish, cold, rude......"

"Never " She finished.

Inuyasha looked at her and sighed. "Hey," he said playfully, "I know I'm a jerk but you don't have to rub it in." He mumbled.

She shrugged and looked at him. "But, underneath that entire rough exterior, your extremely protective... caring..loyal....and a very good friend." She whispered.

"I....." Inuyasha was stuck. He had no idea what to do or say.

"You don't have to say anything. I know you've got your life set for when you get the Shikon Jewel."

"No you don't."

"Yes I do."

"Than....what is it?"

"Become a full-fledged demon, get stronger, dump all your friends, and avenge and stay with Kikyo..." She trailed off.

Inuyasha looked at her sadly. "So you really think I'd dump all my friends and all that?"

"If you had too....I guess. We're not as important as Kikyo you know."

'Why don't you ever believe Kagome?' Inuyasha thought sadly.

"You all are just as important than her."

Kagome sighed and ignored the sentence he just said.

"SHIPPO!!!!" Sango yelled, riding Kirara with Miroku close behind her.

"Shippo!!!! Where are you?" The monk yelled across the forest.

"Mew!" Kirara said, stopping in mid-air.

"Can you sense something, Kirara?"

"Mew." Kirara responded charging down into the forest, and rushing, soon to find a very injured Shippo.

"SHIPPO!" Sango yelled jumping off of Kirara and holding the little kitsune in her arms.

"San...go?" The little fox asked, looking at her.

"What happened?" Miroku asked.

Flashback

"You talk. And the girl dies."

End Flashback

Shippo's eyes became watery and for no abrupt reason he began to sob.

"Shi..pop?" Sango asked. "What happened?" She turned and looked at the monk who was just as confused. They had never seen Shippo cry not including all the times he faked it when Inuyasha hit him so Kagome would sit Inuyasha.

Well, there was once. Once. And that was when Kagome left to go to her world, and they thought she would never come back. Right after Inuyasha pushed her down the well after the fight with Sesshomaru.

Miroku pulled the little fox out of Sango's arms and carried him over to Kirara. "All those bruises..What happened to you?" He whispered before getting onto the demon for a ride.

"Go Kirara! Let's go to Kaede's for some medicine!"

"Mew!"

"Kaede! Are you here?" Miroku said pushing the flaps open.

"Aye, I am here. What brings you here?" She asked. They revealed Shippo and showed her.

"Oh my, what happened?"

"He wouldn't say. He just kept on crying."

Kaede remained quiet and went to look at the fox's wounds. "He has bruises and cuts all over his skin. Something must of really beat him." She whispered.

Kagome finished bandaging Inuyasha's wounds and they sat alone inside her bedroom. For some reason, Inuyasha couldn't stop thinking about Shippo.

'Did he get home alright? I knew I should have walked him back..He's a demon, he should be able to run from pretty much anything...Still. What if something happened? What if...what if another demon attacked?' Inuyasha held his head and tried to be rid all the plagues in his mind.

'Feh. Why am I worrying? He got back alright, the little brat. He probably got back long before I talked with Kikyo.' He chided himself with much worry in his head.

"Inuyasha? Something wrong?"

Q: At the end of the books, I've heard a very depressing rumor that in the end of the Inuyasha books, Inuyasha chooses Kikyo over Kagome because of the dumb promise he made to her about protecting her forever. Do you think this is true or not?

A: No, I don't think it's true. And not just because I absolutely loathe Kikyo, but because there's plenty of good reasons why they wouldn't.

Inuyasha couldn't stay with Kikyo. She's dead, and has been for a long time. The dead and the living cannot reside together. I know all this stuff people say about bringing Kikyo back and them living together and blah blah blah. But, I don't think Rumiko Takahashi would do that considering everything of read and seen.

There are many times that Kikyo even says things that Inuyasha and Kagome will end up together. Like when she said, "So it's the girl who has changed him..If I have lived, than it would be I who would be melting his heart. (or changing him or healing the wounds in his soul. There are lots of versions from the show and the manga but all basically say the same.

Kikyo has already done much against Inuyasha. They can't just reconcile all quick and having Inuyasha forget Kagome. Plus, why would the producers even bother having Inuyasha and Kagome kiss in the second movie if there wasn't something going on? I dunno. But I'm pretty sure they have a reason behind it.

I don't know if you've heard, but in the second movie, Naraku dies. That means Kikyo can rest in peace...I've heard that there are over 200 episodes of Inuyasha still in production. I don't think they'll spend it all about Inuyasha and Kikyo's gag love life.When Naraku is dead, Kikyo will finally be able to rest in peace. Of course that is no 100 it's just a rumor and you never know what could happen. But most everyone says its true about the episodes and that Kikyo may just go and rest in peace. There are already people who say Inuyasha and Kagome have a family or something..But I guess that one is a rumor. :D

I could go on forever with extremely good reasons arguing with that rumor. But, I don't want to take up all your time. If you'd like I could explain more.. Just ask if you want, I don't mind. I love doing these kind of things.
