Fifth chapter: Memories

Miroku and Sango woke up before Inuyasha and Kagome and noticed them sleeping. Miroku quickly pulled out Kagome's "camera", took a picture and stuffed it back in her backpack. Kagome woke up slowly, "A flash?" she asked softly. She sat up slowly and looked around, "Good morning Sango." she nodded her head looking at Miroku, "Miroku." She started to climb down the tree, "Are you guys hungry?" she asked giggling when she saw Shippou perk up. "Yes! Very!" he said jumping up and down. "That would be nice Kagome." Sang said getting ready to smack Miroku fo not thanking her. "Y-yes Kagome thank you." Miroku said with a bump on the back of his head.

Kagome caught Shippou just as he was jumping up and cradled him in her arms, "I'll make some ramen then hmm?" Kagome asked slightly giggling when she saw Inuyasha's ears twitch and laughed even harder when he perked up. "Yes please!" Shippou said loudly as if not being able to contain himself. "Inuyasha, do you want some ramen?" Kagome asked wiping tears of mirth from her eyes. Without a word, Inuyasha jumped down and started the fire. After breakfast, the group decided to keep traveling and it was now almost sun-set when Kagome stopped. "What's wrong Kagome?" Inuyasha asked walking to her, "I sense and evil aura, and it's coming this way." Kagome said softly looking in the direction that she sensed it. Suddenly Kagura and Kanna appeared, "What do you want hagg?!" Inuyasha yelled readying his claws. "I have come to inform you that Naraku awaits your arrival, do you not wish to fight him?" she asked calmly, though Inuyasha's claws were ready to cut through her like wet paper. Inuyasha smirked and laughed a little raising his claws, "Ya, do you plan on dying along with him?" Inuyasha asked still with a smirk. Kagura laughed evily and disappeard in grey smoke. 'Dammit! I'll get you Kagura! You and Naraku!' he thought raising his hang and clenching his fist.

"Inuyasha.." Kagome asked walking up to him a little. "You should make camp..it's getting late." he said softly, his back to the group. "Inuyasha.." Kagome said walking up more and putting a hand on his shoulder. "Just forget it and set up camp!" he said not turning around, "I'm going for a walk." he said putting his head down and jumping into the trees. "Well, you heard him, maybe we should.." Kagome said as if she was gonna say something else. Sango walked up and put a hand on Kagome's shoulder, "Go ahead, Miroku and I will stay here and set up camp." Sango smiled. "Thanks Sango, it means alot to me." Kagome smiled, hugged her friend, and walked in the direction where Inuyasha went.

***************************************************************************************************************

Inuyasha sat by a river and thought hard, 'What am I gonna do?!' he thought "It's too dangerous for her to stay but.." he put his head down, "I want her to stay." he said softly. "What's too dangerous?" Inuyasha perked his head up to see Kagome walking up to him.

She sat herself next to him, "And what's that I heard of you wanting someone to stay?" she said with a smirk. Inuyasha just sat there looking at her like she was a ghost. She pulled up closer to him and put her mouth up to his ear, "I'm not going anywhere, Inuyasha." she whispered giggling a little when his ears twitched. He looked away, "I know we need you to defeat Naraku but-" he was cut off when Kagome put her hand to his cheek and made him look straight at her, "That's all you need to say, you need me to defeat Naraku, I can take care of myself." Suddenly Inuyasha's ears twitched and he looked out into a clearing 'Kikyou..' he thought still looking out into the clearing.

"What's wrong Inuyasha?" Kagome asked trying to look over his shoulder, though she knew what it was. "N-nothing." he said softly going back to how he was, 'For once I won't go to her, I can't' he thought looking like he was using all of his strength to stay there. "Might as well go." Kagome said harshly not looking at him, "there's no point in staying." 'As long as Kikyou is here, there's no reason for him to stay with me..' she thought looking down watery eyed. "Ka-JUST GO!!!" she screamed cutting him off and putting her arms around her knees that were up to her chest. "No I'm not leaving!" he said loud enough but still staying calm with her. "Inuyasha, please go, it may be the last time you see her before you go to hell with her." she said so softly HE could barely hear her. "Kagome I'm only doing it because you want me to." he said and he jumped out to where he heard Kikyou. At that moment she remembered,

*FLASHBACK*

Kagome walked through the woods and looked around, "Well I guess Inuyasha has had enough time to cool off now." Suddenly she stopped dead in her tracks and backed behind a tree, there were Inuyasha and Kikyou under a tree (I'm not sure if it was the Goshinboku or not I forgot.) 'Why is Inuyasha here..with Kikyou?' she thought wide eyed. After that, she saw him grab Kikyou's upper arms and force her to an embrace. Kagome just went behind the tree, she didn't want to watch any more..she couldn't handle it. After a while she heard Kikyou leave and she stepped forward, crushing a leaf, causing Inuyasha to turn around quickly, "Whose there?!" he asked caustiously. Kagome walked side ways from behind the tree. Inuyasha just stood there looking at her straight in the eyes. 'Why is he looking at me, why won't he turn away?' she thought looking at him with wide eyes, though she knew..he had chosen Kikyou. "Kagome.." he said as if getting ready to say something. She just turned around and ran, she ran and ran...

*END FLASHBACK*

"No..dont please.." she said softly shaking her head frantically. She finally found herself crying and walking toward the campsite she stopped and wiped her tear-stained cheeks quickly and well enough so she thought she would convince the others she'd be okay. Suddenly she heard the sound of rustling bushes and saw a soul catcher come out of the bush and go in the opposite direction, she followed it thinking it would lead to Kikyou. When she saw where it led she stopped dead in her tracks and hid behing a tree..just as last time. "Is that girl more important to you than me, Inuyasha?" Kikyou asked walking up to him. Inuyasha blushed an looked down, "K-kikyou that's not why..I want to kill Naraku, I still have things to do." he said backing away, Kagome felt like her heart had grown wings and was flying off into Inuyasha's arms, she could stay with him longer, that was all she wanted. "I see..Inuyasha,when I see that Naraku is gone, I will come." and her soul catchers wrapped around her and carried her away. "Inuyasha.." she said smiling. Inuyasha smirked and turned, facing her and started walking up to her. He wrapped his arms around her and held her in a tight embrace for, what felt like, an eternity, "See?" Kagome said smiling as they separated with their arms still around eachother, "I told you." she said smiling even bigger. "Feh." he said letting go and crossing his arms but looking at her out of the corner of his eye and smirking." Kagome giggled and put one of her arms up to rub his ears and they continued walking back to camp. When they got back to camp they ate a big lunch and continued to travel. "We should get there today." said Sango smiling. "That's it!" Shippou said pointing to the far-away castle. When they got up there, Naraku, Kagura, Kanna, and Kohaku were already in the front waiting for them...
