"Kagome...please be okay." Inuyasha thought to himself as he lay on Kagome's bed. He sighed himself and tried to get up. It was no use. The poison was circulating and he couldn't even if he tried.
'Being in her room just makes me even more worried.' He thought trying to rid himself from the images of Kagome that flashed in his mind. 'This room is full of her scent. If only I could move!'
"Inuyasha you awake?" Sota asked walking into the room and sitting down next to him.
"Yup...Hey kid, why don't you go out and play with your friends? Pretty boring just sitting here with some half-demon." He said trying to smile at the little boy.
"Nothing's funner than talking to my big brother!" He said happily.
Inuyasha laughed. 'Brother? Heh, this kid is starting to grow on me.'
"Inuyasha, how long has it been since my sister left? A while?"
"I'd say almost two days."
"Oh.she'll make it." He said looking at the half-demon. "She always does."
'But...she..somehow I know she'll get into trouble.'
Inuyasha smiled at Sota. "Sure thing, Sota."
"You're so cool!" He said hugging Inuyasha and shocking him.
"Eh?" He asked confused wincing a bit as the pain increased.
"I know you're really tired right now, but you're still talking to some annoying kid like me. Thanks big brother! You have and always will be my hero!" He said smiling. "I wish I could just like you when I grow up!"
"Heh..Thanks kid." Inuyasha smiled despite all the pain he was in.
*******************************
"Inuyasha better be okay." Kagome said to herself, sitting in the cool green grass.
"Kagome! There you are." Sango said seating herself next to the girl as Miroku followed. "Hey, don't worry Inuyasha will be fine."
"Of course, he's too stubborn to die." Miroku smiled.
Kagome sighed. "I hope so. We got into a fight a little before I left."
Sango gaped at Kagome. "What..?"
"I got angry with him for not telling me about him getting hurt..and he...uhm..."
"He?"
"He..I got mad at him because he didn't tell me he met up with someone that's all..." She stuttered knowing that Sango and Miroku would already know who she was talking about.
"Kagome, Inuyasha doesn't tell you those things because he doesn't want to worry you not because-"
"I know he gave me the same excuse." She interrupted rather crossly.
"Excuse?"
"Look, I'm not mad at him anymore." She said, trying to hide some of the doubt in her face. "I..I feel bad for getting mad at him."
'Although it hurts to know he only likes me because I remind him of Kikyo.' She thought.
Sango sighed and remained silent.
Miroku smiled and sat behind both girls and moved both hands to both girls. He slowly went up too----
*smack*
*smack*
"PERVERT!"
"Miroku, if Inuyasha were here he would have killed you for even attempting to touch Kagome!" Sango accused.
Miroku sighed and looked down. She was right and was he really lucky Inuyasha wasn't there as of now.
Kagome blushed a bit and began to feel a bit uncomfortable. She knew it wasn't true, it was Kikyo he would worry about.
"You guys, that's not true." Kagome said. No one was listening though, Sango and Miroku were too busy arguing.
"Inuyasha would have sliced you in half you perverted monk!"
"You guys-"
"I would have fled long before." Miroku answered.
"You forget about his speed." Sango countered.
Kagome looked at them. "You-"
"You forget about my kazaana."
"He is half-demon." She grumbled.
"Oh don't worry Sango!" Miroku said getting the wrong idea, "I promise I won't die! I'll be here with you forever!" He said, putting his arm around her.
*smack*
"YOU GUYS!"
"Huh?" Sango and Miroku turned around and looked at Kagome. "Did you say something?"
***********************
Kikyo watched from the bushes astonished by some of the words that were spoken.
'Inuyasha? Hurt? Heh. He'll get better. His youkai blood will help him. If not, I know somehow his friends will save him...So that's nothing to worry about.'
'But then again, this girl is angry at him for not speaking of the encounter he had with me? I may have some advantage after all.' She thought smirking to herself.
************************
"You guys really shouldn't say things like that! You know it's not true!" Kagome yelled keeping Miroku a safe distance away from Sango.
"What do you mean? Inuyasha gets angry every* single time a guy even comes close to you..Kouga...that guy he babbles about from the future...Naraku..Miroku is no exception. You know that."
"He only does that because he might think that I could be harmed in some way, and then he wouldn't be able to have me detect the Shikon Jewels. That's all he wants me for anyway." She said sadly, looking down.
Miroku looked at Kagome oddly and smiled. "Hey, you know that dumb dog really does like you."
Kagome chuckled a bit. "Sure."
*Flashback*
"Why do I get the feeling you're lying to me?" She asked him.
"I..don't know." He stuttered.
"Maybe, because you are?"
"I'm..not."
Kagome sighed. "You met up with Kikyo, right?"
"I----"
"You had a talk with her...and...you.." She trailed off and started to look down at the floor.
*End Flashback*
'Maybe as a friend..but as for something more...I seriously doubt that.'
"Well Kagome! It's almost time for dinner!" Sango said getting up. "I better start fixing something good since you came back.. We're really happy to have you here Kagome!"
Sango smiled and rushed off to make dinner with a certain monk chasing after her desperately.
"SANGO WAIT FOR ME!!! PLEASE!!" Miroku yelled following the demon exterminator.
************
Kagome smiled and watched them leave as she sat alone in the fields. She never noticed how much she missed her friends until now.
"Why am I so sad about that?" She sighed, berating herself looking over at the quiet little village as she thought about how Inuyasha hid the truth from her.
'I shouldn't be..its not like he meant for this to happen. Then again, it hurts to know he still likes Kikyo...but...if it makes him happy...' She thought.
"Sad...about what?" Kikyo said walking out of the bushes and revealing herself.
Kagome jumped and turned around. "K-Kikyo!" She stuttered. "W-Where did you come from?" She asked stepping back frightened.
'Why am I afraid?' She thought.
'Well considering that everyone says that Inuyasha likes you more than her, and she likes him..it would be pretty obvious she'd try to get rid of you.' Said another voice in her head.
'Yea that way, nothing would stand between her and Inuyasha ' said another.
"Why do you look at me that way?" Kikyo said smirking. Kagome shook her head and tried to smile.
"I..j-just..wasn't expecting a conversation with you just now." She stuttered.
Kikyo nodded. "I see."
Kagome's eyes wandered around the priestess in front of her, and the first thing to catch her attention was a bow and arrows.
She took another step back and her eyes searched around for her own weapon. 'I forgot my arrows in the village!' She thought desperately looking at the priestess.
"I've come to talk to you." Kikyo said turning so Kagome could see her quiver that was full of razor sharp arrows.
"A-About what?"
"Inuyasha. Where is he?"
"I don't know where he is!" Kagome lied.
"Heh. He's at your world, I presume."
"N-No! What makes you think he is?!"
"Don't lie to me girl, I know."
Kagome stared at Kikyo in pure fear.
"Don't worry; I won't kill you now..you need to get that medicine for Inuyasha. Well, that is...if I don't change my mind." She said, approaching Kagome.
"Just know this, DO NOT INTERFERE WITH US." She said whispering some sort of spell.
'Wha.What's she doing? That's a spell she's mumbling..' Kagome thought covering her ears not able to plug out the words as the priestess continued to approach.
****************
"Shippo!" Sango called. "Will you go and get Kagome? Dinner's ready!"
"Okay!" Shippo said smiling running out of the hut.
Miroku looked at the little fox and smiled. "Well..it seems that he's back to normal
now, I suppose."
"It's because of Kagome. She's like a mother to him."
Miroku nodded. "He wouldn't even bother talking before she came. Kagome really has a gift."
Sango smiled.
"Well of course, it's not everyday ye meet someone as great as Kagome." Kaede said joining in the conversation.
*************
"KAGOME?!" Shippo said eagerly.
"KAGOME?! KAGOM-" Shippo stopped abruptly and gulped when he saw Kikyo towering over Kagome, who was lying on the ground with her eyes closed.
'KAGOME! PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD!' He thought frantically running towards the area.
Kikyo merely looked at him and left. "Remember, little fox, you tell and I WILL KILL HER."
Shippo stared horrified. 'At least that meant Kikyo didn't kill Kagome just now..And Kagome doesn't have any wounds.' He thought searching her body as tears poured out of his eyes.
**************
"Where is he?" Sango asked looking around. "If he's not here soon, the food will get cold."
"Put it near the fire." Kaede said. "That'll give it more time."
Miroku stared at the food and his mouth watered. "Just a little bite, Sango?"
"No."
"Just a tiny little piece?"
"No."
"A little bit off the side?"
"I said no."
"Please?"
"NO."
"COME ON SANGO I'M DYING HERE! THAT FOOD SMELLS GREAT!! I HAVEN'T EATEN ALL DAY!! YOU NEVER COOKED LIKE THIS BEFORE!!"
"That's because Kagome is here and I wanted to do my best. It's been a while since she's been here and I want her time here to be as good as possible. And, Miroku, none of us has eaten all day."
Miroku sighed and stared at the food savoring in its smell. He turned to Sango and sighed. "You're torturing me right now. Just a little--"
"NO!"
"A tiny-"
"NO!"
"Just a little piece----"
"NOOOOOOOO!" She screamed.
Kaede sighed. "Miroku, patience."
Miroku grumbled to himself and sighed. "Fine. I guess I'll just have to find something else to do." He said scooting over closer to Sango.
"Eh?"
* SMACK *
"YOU NEVER GIVE UP DO YOU?!"
"Heheheh.." He said rubbing his now swollen cheek.
***************************
"Kagome!" Shippo yelled shaking Kagome. "Wake up! Kagome!"
"Shi.ppo?" She said grimacing. "H-Hey..I'm okay, no need to worry." She said looking at Shippo's crying face.
"Kagome! What happened with you and Kikyo? D-Did she..."
"N-Nothing.She just...I just.fainted." She lied smiling at the little cub.
'Well, that's half the truth. Kikyo wanted to make sure I got the message not to interfere with her and Inuyasha with a couple hits. I could tell she wasn't using her full power though; it doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would. Even if it does hurt..and after a couple minutes, I did faint considering how scared I was.' She thought.
'Just some pain on my sides and shoulders, that's all.' She thought somewhat happily. At least the priestess didn't do much.
"Kagome?"
"I'm okay, Shippo. Why did you come?"
"Sango wanted me to.tell.you its time for dinner. It smelled really good!" He said between sniffles from his crying earlier.
"I'm so happy nothing happened to you, Kagome!" He said jumping on to Kagome and hugging her tightly, not noticing Kagome's slight wince.
"Heh, it's alright. I'm fine. So the dinner smelt really good, eh? Why don't we go and taste it?"
"OKAY!" Shippo said happily rushing back to the village.
********************
"They're still not here!" Miroku said pacing around the hut. "I need food! Where are they? I'm going to die of starvation here! I'm gonna..I'll go find them!" He said, grabbing his staff and heading outside.
Kagome and Shippo walked inside stopping the monk in seconds.
"Kagome, Shippo I'm so glad your okay!!" Miroku said heading towards them and smiling at them.
"Yea we're okay."
Miroku smiled. "THAT'S GREAT!!!!!!!" He said pausing for a minute.
"Uhm....Sango?"
'What..?"
"LET'S EAT!" He said rushing towards the food being abruptly stopped by Sango's boomerang.
"HIRAIKOTSU!"
"ACKKKK! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" He said, continuing to run towards the food.
Sango shook her head and grabbed his cloak and dragged him back to the corner of the hut.
Kagome laughed. "Really hungry, Miroku?" She chuckled as the monk sat down and pouted.
"Now then..." Sango smiled, putting the food in the center of the room on a cloth, "Let's eat."
************************
"Inuyasha?" Sota asked looking at him.
".H-huh.?" He said quietly.
"Are you okay?"
"Y-Yea..I-I'm f-fine.." He said with shallow breaths in between. "Heh, the..poison.its..just getting to me." He said with a hint of humor in his voice to soothe the boy.
"Are you sure?"
"P-Poison w-wouldn't..k-kill m-me..." He said stubbornly. 'Kagome...' He thought. 'Please, I hope you didn't get hurt.'
"I hope my sister gets here soon to bring you some antidote." He said grimly. "Hey, Inuyasha...can you tell me about you two?"
"U-Us..t-two?"
"Yea! How'd you two get together?"
"Y-You mean how w-we f-first met?" He stuttered.
"Sure! Can you tell me like a little summary of everything that's happened so far?"
'Not everything.' Inuyasha thought. 'I can't say anything about Naraku..or.Kikyo.or.'
"Well, she freed me from..a spell..." He said remembering the time he first saw her as he continued on with the story.
'I thought she was Kikyo...' He thought smirking to himself.
'I pretended to hate her scent..I pretended I hated everything about her..I tried to stop myself from trusting her.But I had no control over it. She's nothing like Kikyo.But I do owe Kikyo so much...'
"Wow! That's how you two met?! Cool!" Sota said admirably.
"Heh.R-Right...and now, we're looking for all the shards of the jewel." He said between breaths after giving Sota a HIGHLY EDITED version of their adventures.
"YOU'RE SO COOOOOLLLL!!!!!"
"T-Thanks, S-Sota.." He sighed before falling asleep out of pain and exhaustion.
****************************
"MMMMMMMMMMMMHHHMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!" Miroku said, eating the rest of his food. "GREAT FOOD SANGO!"
Sango blushed. "Thank you."
"MMhhmm...It is really good!" Kagome said savoring the taste on her lips as Shippo continued to eat more and more.
"GOOD JOB SANGO!" Shippo and Kaede said after.
"You're as great as Kagome!" Miroku smiled.
Sango smiled. "No one is as good as Kagome."
Kagome laughed. "This is WAY better than my cooking. Trust me."
Everyone smiled. "I think there both great!"
Kagome sighed. "Well, I wish Inuyasha as here to taste it." She said, ruining the moment and deadening the noise level in the room.
She looked around. "S-Sorry I didn't mean to ruin the moment."
"It's okay. We understand how you feel. We're sure Inuyasha's fine."
"......"
"Come on Kagome, cheer up!"
"....."
"Kagome, come on. This is the first time in a long time we were able to see each other. Let's just enjoy."
"I'll have the medicine for Inuyasha done by tomorrow night if I hurry." Kaede said. 'Hopefully that's not too late' She thought to herself, not daring to say it to Kagome.
"Yes, that's if* time isn't up." Kagome said grimly as if reading Kaede's thoughts.
"Don't be so down Kagome. Look on the bright side!" Miroku smiled.
"What's the bright side...?"
"Well the bright side is!! That," Miroku gulped and looked around, "the bright side is!! Uh..uhm..."
"Yes?"
"The bright side is that at least!!!!! Uh...Err," He turned to Sango and whispered, "Hey, what is the bright side?"
Sango glared at him.
"HIRAIKOTSU!"
"ACKK!"
"THAT DIDN'T HELP ONE BIT MONK!"
Kagome sighed. "There is no bright side." She said, getting up and getting ready to sleep since it was getting really late.
'Hopefully he's okay....I'll talk to him about Kikyo when I get back...If..I can bring myself to not cry about the situation..I'm such a cry baby..' She thought to herself looking forward.
'My sides still hurt...But...he wouldn't care if I was hurt..would he?...No I won't tell him what Kikyo did, he wouldn't believe if I did tell him anyway..'
"Kagome are you okay?" Sango asked sitting next to her friend.
"Yup." Kagome said sighing and giving Sango a blank look.
"Do you know what's wrong with Shippo?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well he was really happy when you got back...and right when he came back to get you for dinner he started being really quiet again..."
*Flashback*
"Kagome I'm so glad you didn't get hurt!" He said jumping up to hug Kagome.
*End Flashback*
"I'll....talk to him." She said getting up to outside to talk to the little kitsune.
"Hey Shippo. What's wrong?"
Shippo looked up at her and tried to smile. "Nothing."
"I told you I'm okay.Nothing hurts." She lied whispering words of comfort to him.
"I know."
"What happened to you? I mean...about the demon you said attacked you after Inuyasha left?"
Shippo froze.
*Flashback*
"If you tell the girl a single word, I'll kill her. Trust me."
*End Flashback*
"Shippo?"
Shippo looked down and he broke out in tears.
"Wha.What's wrong?"
********************************
"Hopefully that little spell works on Kagome...It's just a little insurance that Inuyasha stays mine." Kikyo smiled to herself in the darkness watching the conversation. "And of course, if the fox says one word, I'll keep my little promise to him; and kill the girl...if he does."
********************************
"Inuyasha? Inuyasha?" Sota said shaking the half-demon.
"S-Sota....."
"Try to stay up." Sota said pulling his arm.
"I-I can't..." He said dropping down on the bed.
"Inuyasha! Are you okay?! Inuyasha?!"

END OF CHAPTER 26! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!
To: leer45
Q: Is this your Fav. Story that you've made?
A: Well that's a hard one.Heheh.Well I really* like this story.To tell the truth, hehe, before in the very beginning, I thought I shouldn't post this story because I thought all I would get was flames..^__^ I'm so glad you all (all readers) like this story!! And as for your question...well I like all my stories the same, (I hope people read those too ^_^) but this is definitely one of my favs. :DDDDDDD WELL THANKS FOR READING AND REVIEWING AND PLEASE CONTINUE TO DO SO! Feel free to ask anything else!
To: Yusuke
Q: When the Jewel is complete will Inuyasha become a full demon for the rest of his life?
A: Well, the series isn't done yet, so there's no sure thing that Inuyasha will become full demon or full human or even.stay the same. No one knows what he'll choose to do except Rumiko Takahashi. :DD But if you want an opinion, and this based purely on my opinion ^__^, I think he won't become demon. One because when he lost his Tetsuaiga in one episode and he became demon, he went around killing in his sight. I think later he said something like I want to be a demon, but not like that. He felt really bad because he is afraid he hurts Kagome. But that's just opinion! ^_____^ I guess the only way we'll ever find out is to continue watching until the very end!
Q: Will he wish that Kikyo to come back to earth or go to hell?
A: Well, for the same reasons as above, there's no sure reason what he wants to do with Kikyo. The only sure thing is that he does* want to avenge Kikyo's death. His feelings are very confused. If you want an opinion, hehe, mine is that Kikyo in the end, will hopefully just be able to rest in peace. I REALLY REALLY REALLY HOPE HE DOESN'T WISH FOR KIKYO TO COME BACK TO EARTH.. I REALLY HOPE NOT.
Q: Since Inuyasha is alive and if he is dragged to hell by Kikyo will that mean he can come back to earth or not?
A: First thing first! I REALLY hope he doesn't get dragged to hell by Kikyo! And, back to your question, hehe, if* he is dragged to hell by her, I seriously doubt he'd be able to come back to earth. By the time he gets to hell, he'd already be dead, and there's no going back. So that would mean he's stuck in infinite flames for the rest of eternity. O.O;;; with...*gasp* Kikyo. WELL THANKS FOR READING AND REVIEWING AND PLEASE CONTINUE TO DO SO! Feel free to ask anything else, Yusuke! :DD
To: lilhillbillie
Q: Why does Inuyasha need to be upstairs and not downstairs?
A: Well, because if he stays downstairs, the neighbors or one of Sota's friends would see him..and that would be trouble. I think I wrote the reason in that chapter. ^__^ Hehehe.. THANKS FOR REASING AND REVIEWING AND PLEASE CONTINUE TO DO SO! Feel free to ask anything else!
To: Litwolf89
Q: Have you ever been to an anime convention and if so can you tell me what it was like?

To: lindy*girl
Q: (No question, just comments)
A: Yup, I heard that rumor about Kikyo being put to rest permanently in the second movie. Heh, although we all don't know if it's true. I guess we'll find out when the movie comes out! *hurries off to the store* Hehehe.. WELL THANKS FOR READING AND REVIEWING AND PLEASE CONTINUE TO DO SO! Feel free to ask anything else!
To: AnimeFreak
Q: What happens in the second movie to make Inuyasha and Kagome kiss?
A: Well, I've heard that Inuyasha becomes a demon (again) goes nuts, and Kagome calms him down with a kiss. I'm not too sure if that's what happens, but according to some preview pictures I've seen, there's a good chance that's what did happen.
Sesshomaru Fluff
Q: Have you seen the "Love that Surpasses Time" ? If so, do you know the names of the two immortal women with Mneomaru?
A: Yes, I've seen the movie. I Love it! Cute Inu/Kag parts!! Heheh.and the names of the two immortal women with Mneomaru are Ruri (the one with her hair up) and Hari (the one with the longer hair). WELL THANKS FOR READING AND REVIEWING AND PLEASE CONTINUE TO DO SO! Feel free to ask anything else!

"Kagome...please be okay." Inuyasha thought to himself as he lay on Kagome's bed. He sighed himself and tried to get up. It was no use. The poison was circulating and he couldn't even if he tried.
'Being in her room just makes me even more worried.' He thought trying to rid himself from the images of Kagome that flashed in his mind. 'This room is full of her scent. If only I could move!'
"Inuyasha you awake?" Sota asked walking into the room and sitting down next to him.
"Yup...Hey kid, why don't you go out and play with your friends? Pretty boring just sitting here with some half-demon." He said trying to smile at the little boy.
"Nothing's funner than talking to my big brother!" He said happily.
Inuyasha laughed. 'Brother? Heh, this kid is starting to grow on me.'
"Inuyasha, how long has it been since my sister left? A while?"
"I'd say almost two days."
"Oh.she'll make it." He said looking at the half-demon. "She always does."
'But...she..somehow I know she'll get into trouble.'
Inuyasha smiled at Sota. "Sure thing, Sota."
"You're so cool!" He said hugging Inuyasha and shocking him.
"Eh?" He asked confused wincing a bit as the pain increased.
"I know you're really tired right now, but you're still talking to some annoying kid like me. Thanks big brother! You have and always will be my hero!" He said smiling. "I wish I could just like you when I grow up!"
"Heh..Thanks kid." Inuyasha smiled despite all the pain he was in.
*******************************
"Inuyasha better be okay." Kagome said to herself, sitting in the cool green grass.
"Kagome! There you are." Sango said seating herself next to the girl as Miroku followed. "Hey, don't worry Inuyasha will be fine."
"Of course, he's too stubborn to die." Miroku smiled.
Kagome sighed. "I hope so. We got into a fight a little before I left."
Sango gaped at Kagome. "What..?"
"I got angry with him for not telling me about him getting hurt..and he...uhm..."
"He?"
"He..I got mad at him because he didn't tell me he met up with someone that's all..." She stuttered knowing that Sango and Miroku would already know who she was talking about.
"Kagome, Inuyasha doesn't tell you those things because he doesn't want to worry you not because-"
"I know he gave me the same excuse." She interrupted rather crossly.
"Excuse?"
"Look, I'm not mad at him anymore." She said, trying to hide some of the doubt in her face. "I..I feel bad for getting mad at him."
'Although it hurts to know he only likes me because I remind him of Kikyo.' She thought.
Sango sighed and remained silent.
Miroku smiled and sat behind both girls and moved both hands to both girls. He slowly went up too----
*smack*
*smack*
"PERVERT!"
"Miroku, if Inuyasha were here he would have killed you for even attempting to touch Kagome!" Sango accused.
Miroku sighed and looked down. She was right and was he really lucky Inuyasha wasn't there as of now.
Kagome blushed a bit and began to feel a bit uncomfortable. She knew it wasn't true, it was Kikyo he would worry about.
"You guys, that's not true." Kagome said. No one was listening though, Sango and Miroku were too busy arguing.
"Inuyasha would have sliced you in half you perverted monk!"
"You guys-"
"I would have fled long before." Miroku answered.
"You forget about his speed." Sango countered.
Kagome looked at them. "You-"
"You forget about my kazaana."
"He is half-demon." She grumbled.
"Oh don't worry Sango!" Miroku said getting the wrong idea, "I promise I won't die! I'll be here with you forever!" He said, putting his arm around her.
*smack*
"YOU GUYS!"
"Huh?" Sango and Miroku turned around and looked at Kagome. "Did you say something?"
***********************
Kikyo watched from the bushes astonished by some of the words that were spoken.
'Inuyasha? Hurt? Heh. He'll get better. His youkai blood will help him. If not, I know somehow his friends will save him...So that's nothing to worry about.'
'But then again, this girl is angry at him for not speaking of the encounter he had with me? I may have some advantage after all.' She thought smirking to herself.
************************
"You guys really shouldn't say things like that! You know it's not true!" Kagome yelled keeping Miroku a safe distance away from Sango.
"What do you mean? Inuyasha gets angry every* single time a guy even comes close to you..Kouga...that guy he babbles about from the future...Naraku..Miroku is no exception. You know that."
"He only does that because he might think that I could be harmed in some way, and then he wouldn't be able to have me detect the Shikon Jewels. That's all he wants me for anyway." She said sadly, looking down.
Miroku looked at Kagome oddly and smiled. "Hey, you know that dumb dog really does like you."
Kagome chuckled a bit. "Sure."
*Flashback*
"Why do I get the feeling you're lying to me?" She asked him.
"I..don't know." He stuttered.
"Maybe, because you are?"
"I'm..not."
Kagome sighed. "You met up with Kikyo, right?"
"I----"
"You had a talk with her...and...you.." She trailed off and started to look down at the floor.
*End Flashback*
'Maybe as a friend..but as for something more...I seriously doubt that.'
"Well Kagome! It's almost time for dinner!" Sango said getting up. "I better start fixing something good since you came back.. We're really happy to have you here Kagome!"
Sango smiled and rushed off to make dinner with a certain monk chasing after her desperately.
"SANGO WAIT FOR ME!!! PLEASE!!" Miroku yelled following the demon exterminator.
************
Kagome smiled and watched them leave as she sat alone in the fields. She never noticed how much she missed her friends until now.
"Why am I so sad about that?" She sighed, berating herself looking over at the quiet little village as she thought about how Inuyasha hid the truth from her.
'I shouldn't be..its not like he meant for this to happen. Then again, it hurts to know he still likes Kikyo...but...if it makes him happy...' She thought.
"Sad...about what?" Kikyo said walking out of the bushes and revealing herself.
Kagome jumped and turned around. "K-Kikyo!" She stuttered. "W-Where did you come from?" She asked stepping back frightened.
'Why am I afraid?' She thought.
'Well considering that everyone says that Inuyasha likes you more than her, and she likes him..it would be pretty obvious she'd try to get rid of you.' Said another voice in her head.
'Yea that way, nothing would stand between her and Inuyasha ' said another.
"Why do you look at me that way?" Kikyo said smirking. Kagome shook her head and tried to smile.
"I..j-just..wasn't expecting a conversation with you just now." She stuttered.
Kikyo nodded. "I see."
Kagome's eyes wandered around the priestess in front of her, and the first thing to catch her attention was a bow and arrows.
She took another step back and her eyes searched around for her own weapon. 'I forgot my arrows in the village!' She thought desperately looking at the priestess.
"I've come to talk to you." Kikyo said turning so Kagome could see her quiver that was full of razor sharp arrows.
"A-About what?"
"Inuyasha. Where is he?"
"I don't know where he is!" Kagome lied.
"Heh. He's at your world, I presume."
"N-No! What makes you think he is?!"
"Don't lie to me girl, I know."
Kagome stared at Kikyo in pure fear.
"Don't worry; I won't kill you now..you need to get that medicine for Inuyasha. Well, that is...if I don't change my mind." She said, approaching Kagome.
"Just know this, DO NOT INTERFERE WITH US." She said whispering some sort of spell.
'Wha.What's she doing? That's a spell she's mumbling..' Kagome thought covering her ears not able to plug out the words as the priestess continued to approach.
****************
"Shippo!" Sango called. "Will you go and get Kagome? Dinner's ready!"
"Okay!" Shippo said smiling running out of the hut.
Miroku looked at the little fox and smiled. "Well..it seems that he's back to normal
now, I suppose."
"It's because of Kagome. She's like a mother to him."
Miroku nodded. "He wouldn't even bother talking before she came. Kagome really has a gift."
Sango smiled.
"Well of course, it's not everyday ye meet someone as great as Kagome." Kaede said joining in the conversation.
*************
"KAGOME?!" Shippo said eagerly.
"KAGOME?! KAGOM-" Shippo stopped abruptly and gulped when he saw Kikyo towering over Kagome, who was lying on the ground with her eyes closed.
'KAGOME! PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD!' He thought frantically running towards the area.
Kikyo merely looked at him and left. "Remember, little fox, you tell and I WILL KILL HER."
Shippo stared horrified. 'At least that meant Kikyo didn't kill Kagome just now..And Kagome doesn't have any wounds.' He thought searching her body as tears poured out of his eyes.
**************
"Where is he?" Sango asked looking around. "If he's not here soon, the food will get cold."
"Put it near the fire." Kaede said. "That'll give it more time."
Miroku stared at the food and his mouth watered. "Just a little bite, Sango?"
"No."
"Just a tiny little piece?"
"No."
"A little bit off the side?"
"I said no."
"Please?"
"NO."
"COME ON SANGO I'M DYING HERE! THAT FOOD SMELLS GREAT!! I HAVEN'T EATEN ALL DAY!! YOU NEVER COOKED LIKE THIS BEFORE!!"
"That's because Kagome is here and I wanted to do my best. It's been a while since she's been here and I want her time here to be as good as possible. And, Miroku, none of us has eaten all day."
Miroku sighed and stared at the food savoring in its smell. He turned to Sango and sighed. "You're torturing me right now. Just a little--"
"NO!"
"A tiny-"
"NO!"
"Just a little piece----"
"NOOOOOOOO!" She screamed.
Kaede sighed. "Miroku, patience."
Miroku grumbled to himself and sighed. "Fine. I guess I'll just have to find something else to do." He said scooting over closer to Sango.
"Eh?"
* SMACK *
"YOU NEVER GIVE UP DO YOU?!"
"Heheheh.." He said rubbing his now swollen cheek.
***************************
"Kagome!" Shippo yelled shaking Kagome. "Wake up! Kagome!"
"Shi.ppo?" She said grimacing. "H-Hey..I'm okay, no need to worry." She said looking at Shippo's crying face.
"Kagome! What happened with you and Kikyo? D-Did she..."
"N-Nothing.She just...I just.fainted." She lied smiling at the little cub.
'Well, that's half the truth. Kikyo wanted to make sure I got the message not to interfere with her and Inuyasha with a couple hits. I could tell she wasn't using her full power though; it doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would. Even if it does hurt..and after a couple minutes, I did faint considering how scared I was.' She thought.
'Just some pain on my sides and shoulders, that's all.' She thought somewhat happily. At least the priestess didn't do much.
"Kagome?"
"I'm okay, Shippo. Why did you come?"
"Sango wanted me to.tell.you its time for dinner. It smelled really good!" He said between sniffles from his crying earlier.
"I'm so happy nothing happened to you, Kagome!" He said jumping on to Kagome and hugging her tightly, not noticing Kagome's slight wince.
"Heh, it's alright. I'm fine. So the dinner smelt really good, eh? Why don't we go and taste it?"
"OKAY!" Shippo said happily rushing back to the village.
********************
"They're still not here!" Miroku said pacing around the hut. "I need food! Where are they? I'm going to die of starvation here! I'm gonna..I'll go find them!" He said, grabbing his staff and heading outside.
Kagome and Shippo walked inside stopping the monk in seconds.
"Kagome, Shippo I'm so glad your okay!!" Miroku said heading towards them and smiling at them.
"Yea we're okay."
Miroku smiled. "THAT'S GREAT!!!!!!!" He said pausing for a minute.
"Uhm....Sango?"
'What..?"
"LET'S EAT!" He said rushing towards the food being abruptly stopped by Sango's boomerang.
"HIRAIKOTSU!"
"ACKKKK! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" He said, continuing to run towards the food.
Sango shook her head and grabbed his cloak and dragged him back to the corner of the hut.
Kagome laughed. "Really hungry, Miroku?" She chuckled as the monk sat down and pouted.
"Now then..." Sango smiled, putting the food in the center of the room on a cloth, "Let's eat."
************************
"Inuyasha?" Sota asked looking at him.
".H-huh.?" He said quietly.
"Are you okay?"
"Y-Yea..I-I'm f-fine.." He said with shallow breaths in between. "Heh, the..poison.its..just getting to me." He said with a hint of humor in his voice to soothe the boy.
"Are you sure?"
"P-Poison w-wouldn't..k-kill m-me..." He said stubbornly. 'Kagome...' He thought. 'Please, I hope you didn't get hurt.'
"I hope my sister gets here soon to bring you some antidote." He said grimly. "Hey, Inuyasha...can you tell me about you two?"
"U-Us..t-two?"
"Yea! How'd you two get together?"
"Y-You mean how w-we f-first met?" He stuttered.
"Sure! Can you tell me like a little summary of everything that's happened so far?"
'Not everything.' Inuyasha thought. 'I can't say anything about Naraku..or.Kikyo.or.'
"Well, she freed me from..a spell..." He said remembering the time he first saw her as he continued on with the story.
'I thought she was Kikyo...' He thought smirking to himself.
'I pretended to hate her scent..I pretended I hated everything about her..I tried to stop myself from trusting her.But I had no control over it. She's nothing like Kikyo.But I do owe Kikyo so much...'
"Wow! That's how you two met?! Cool!" Sota said admirably.
"Heh.R-Right...and now, we're looking for all the shards of the jewel." He said between breaths after giving Sota a HIGHLY EDITED version of their adventures.
"YOU'RE SO COOOOOLLLL!!!!!"
"T-Thanks, S-Sota.." He sighed before falling asleep out of pain and exhaustion.
****************************
"MMMMMMMMMMMMHHHMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!" Miroku said, eating the rest of his food. "GREAT FOOD SANGO!"
Sango blushed. "Thank you."
"MMhhmm...It is really good!" Kagome said savoring the taste on her lips as Shippo continued to eat more and more.
"GOOD JOB SANGO!" Shippo and Kaede said after.
"You're as great as Kagome!" Miroku smiled.
Sango smiled. "No one is as good as Kagome."
Kagome laughed. "This is WAY better than my cooking. Trust me."
Everyone smiled. "I think there both great!"
Kagome sighed. "Well, I wish Inuyasha as here to taste it." She said, ruining the moment and deadening the noise level in the room.
She looked around. "S-Sorry I didn't mean to ruin the moment."
"It's okay. We understand how you feel. We're sure Inuyasha's fine."
"......"
"Come on Kagome, cheer up!"
"....."
"Kagome, come on. This is the first time in a long time we were able to see each other. Let's just enjoy."
"I'll have the medicine for Inuyasha done by tomorrow night if I hurry." Kaede said. 'Hopefully that's not too late' She thought to herself, not daring to say it to Kagome.
"Yes, that's if* time isn't up." Kagome said grimly as if reading Kaede's thoughts.
"Don't be so down Kagome. Look on the bright side!" Miroku smiled.
"What's the bright side...?"
"Well the bright side is!! That," Miroku gulped and looked around, "the bright side is!! Uh..uhm..."
"Yes?"
"The bright side is that at least!!!!! Uh...Err," He turned to Sango and whispered, "Hey, what is the bright side?"
Sango glared at him.
"HIRAIKOTSU!"
"ACKK!"
"THAT DIDN'T HELP ONE BIT MONK!"
Kagome sighed. "There is no bright side." She said, getting up and getting ready to sleep since it was getting really late.
'Hopefully he's okay....I'll talk to him about Kikyo when I get back...If..I can bring myself to not cry about the situation..I'm such a cry baby..' She thought to herself looking forward.
'My sides still hurt...But...he wouldn't care if I was hurt..would he?...No I won't tell him what Kikyo did, he wouldn't believe if I did tell him anyway..'
"Kagome are you okay?" Sango asked sitting next to her friend.
"Yup." Kagome said sighing and giving Sango a blank look.
"Do you know what's wrong with Shippo?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well he was really happy when you got back...and right when he came back to get you for dinner he started being really quiet again..."
*Flashback*
"Kagome I'm so glad you didn't get hurt!" He said jumping up to hug Kagome.
*End Flashback*
"I'll....talk to him." She said getting up to outside to talk to the little kitsune.
"Hey Shippo. What's wrong?"
Shippo looked up at her and tried to smile. "Nothing."
"I told you I'm okay.Nothing hurts." She lied whispering words of comfort to him.
"I know."
"What happened to you? I mean...about the demon you said attacked you after Inuyasha left?"
Shippo froze.
*Flashback*
"If you tell the girl a single word, I'll kill her. Trust me."
*End Flashback*
"Shippo?"
Shippo looked down and he broke out in tears.
"Wha.What's wrong?"
********************************
"Hopefully that little spell works on Kagome...It's just a little insurance that Inuyasha stays mine." Kikyo smiled to herself in the darkness watching the conversation. "And of course, if the fox says one word, I'll keep my little promise to him; and kill the girl...if he does."
********************************
"Inuyasha? Inuyasha?" Sota said shaking the half-demon.
"S-Sota....."
"Try to stay up." Sota said pulling his arm.
"I-I can't..." He said dropping down on the bed.
"Inuyasha! Are you okay?! Inuyasha?!"

END OF CHAPTER 26! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!
To: leer45
Q: Is this your Fav. Story that you've made?
A: Well that's a hard one.Heheh.Well I really* like this story.To tell the truth, hehe, before in the very beginning, I thought I shouldn't post this story because I thought all I would get was flames..^__^ I'm so glad you all (all readers) like this story!! And as for your question...well I like all my stories the same, (I hope people read those too ^_^) but this is definitely one of my favs. :DDDDDDD WELL THANKS FOR READING AND REVIEWING AND PLEASE CONTINUE TO DO SO! Feel free to ask anything else!
To: Yusuke
Q: When the Jewel is complete will Inuyasha become a full demon for the rest of his life?
A: Well, the series isn't done yet, so there's no sure thing that Inuyasha will become full demon or full human or even.stay the same. No one knows what he'll choose to do except Rumiko Takahashi. :DD But if you want an opinion, and this based purely on my opinion ^__^, I think he won't become demon. One because when he lost his Tetsuaiga in one episode and he became demon, he went around killing in his sight. I think later he said something like I want to be a demon, but not like that. He felt really bad because he is afraid he hurts Kagome. But that's just opinion! ^_____^ I guess the only way we'll ever find out is to continue watching until the very end!
Q: Will he wish that Kikyo to come back to earth or go to hell?
A: Well, for the same reasons as above, there's no sure reason what he wants to do with Kikyo. The only sure thing is that he does* want to avenge Kikyo's death. His feelings are very confused. If you want an opinion, hehe, mine is that Kikyo in the end, will hopefully just be able to rest in peace. I REALLY REALLY REALLY HOPE HE DOESN'T WISH FOR KIKYO TO COME BACK TO EARTH.. I REALLY HOPE NOT.
Q: Since Inuyasha is alive and if he is dragged to hell by Kikyo will that mean he can come back to earth or not?
A: First thing first! I REALLY hope he doesn't get dragged to hell by Kikyo! And, back to your question, hehe, if* he is dragged to hell by her, I seriously doubt he'd be able to come back to earth. By the time he gets to hell, he'd already be dead, and there's no going back. So that would mean he's stuck in infinite flames for the rest of eternity. O.O;;; with...*gasp* Kikyo. WELL THANKS FOR READING AND REVIEWING AND PLEASE CONTINUE TO DO SO! Feel free to ask anything else, Yusuke! :DD
To: lilhillbillie
Q: Why does Inuyasha need to be upstairs and not downstairs?
A: Well, because if he stays downstairs, the neighbors or one of Sota's friends would see him..and that would be trouble. I think I wrote the reason in that chapter. ^__^ Hehehe.. THANKS FOR REASING AND REVIEWING AND PLEASE CONTINUE TO DO SO! Feel free to ask anything else!

To: AnimeFreak
Q: What happens in the second movie to make Inuyasha and Kagome kiss?
A: Well, I've heard that Inuyasha becomes a demon (again) goes nuts, and Kagome calms him down with a kiss. I'm not too sure if that's what happens, but according to some preview pictures I've seen, there's a good chance that's what did happen.
Sesshomaru Fluff
