Chapter One
"Look Inuyasha, how many times do I have to tell you I'm sorry?" Kagome was getting very irritated at how the half-dog demon was acting. Then again, it was her fault. She had ticked him off awhile back.
"You can tell me a hundred times and I still won't believe you."
"Inuyasha, can't you just hear me out?" A few hours ago, Kagome had sensed a shard of the Shikon no Tama nearby. Inuyasha was just about to slay the demon, but Kagome had to fire her arrow to try and destroy it. She nearly hit Inuyasha with it, and when he tried to dodge it, the demon took advantage of the situation and fled the scene.
"That's the third time you let one get away!" Inuyasha wasn't about to forgive her this time. He knew she made mistakes, a lot, but letting three demons getting way in one week? He wasn't going to stand for that. "Even Myoga's more useful than you!"
"You're so mean!" Kagome was lucky to have Shippo, Sango, and Miroku join there little group. Otherwise she would have left Inuyasha a long time ago.
"I'm going to go for a walk." He jumped from the branch he was sitting on and dashed through the trees.
Inuyasha, why do you hurt me so much? I know the true reason why you're going for "a walk". It's to see that dead corpse, Kikyo.
Every time Kagome thought about or heard that name, a rush of anger went through her.
I love you Inuyasha. Can't you see that? Every time I want to talk to you, or just take a walk, you and me alone, you always, always, act like you're afraid of me. Like I have some deadly disease that's contagious.
Kagome sighed. She headed back to the campsite to tell the others what had happened.
"So, Inuyasha has left again?" asked the monk, Miroku.
"Uh huh." Kagome, Shippo, Sango, and Miroku were seated around a fire. Kagome had arrived only moments ago to tell them the news.
"Just leave that stubborn dog be. He'll have to come back sooner or later. He just needs time to cool down a bit."
Kagome looked down at the little kitsune. He always gave good advice, no matter how young he was.
Too bad none of them know how much I hurt right now. Not even the best of friends could heal the wounds in my heart.
"Kagome, is something wrong?" Sango noticed her friend had been staring off into the depths of the forest. Like she was trying to reach out for Inuyasha, but didn't have the will power to do it.
"Oh, nothings wrong Sango. I'm just tired that's all."
"Alright then. I guess chasing demons who have Shikon shards imbedded in them can be really tiring at times." But Kagome wasn't fooling Sango one bit. She never asked Kagome, but she knew how the reincarnation of the priestess felt for Inuyasha. The way she acted around him, how she always got flustered. It was obvious as grass is green.
"You know you can always tell us if something's wrong Kagome." Miroku knew this wasn't a good time to let his lecherous ways kick in. At least, not tonight.
"Hey Kagome?" The little kitsune looked up at her.
"Yes Shippo?" Kagome always treated him like she was his big sister or mother at times.
"Are you going to leave us?" Shippo looked as if he was going to cry. He always hated the way Inuyasha treated Kagome. Sometimes, it made him think that if he had mistreated her enough times, she would leave and never return. If Shippo weren't so small, he would have already beaten Inuyasha to a pulp.
"Of course not Shippo. Where would you get an idea like that?" She hugged him tighter to her. It was like she was pretending it was Inuyasha.
"Kagome, don't ever leave us!" The little fox held onto Kagome like she was his only life support. He cried his little heart out.
"Oh Shippo." She hugged pulled him tighter to her and let him cry. She cooed and cuddled his little form in her arms. "I'll never let you go Shippo. Not now, not ever. Never forget that."
Sango and Miroku's faces glowed from the embers of the fire. They both stared at Shippo and Kagome. They both felt sorry for the little fox. He was so young. He didn't know about love yet. But they felt sorry for Kagome the most. They knew she loved Inuyasha, but he never returned the slightest signs of feelings for her. That's why she kept to herself most of the time. Not wanting to talk to any of them for long periods of time, for fear of letting all of her emotions spill out and break down before their sorrowful eyes. They both hated Inuyasha for the way he treated her. He only shared his heart for one other. The woman who sealed him to a tree fifty years ago, and had died in the process. Kikyo.
Before long, the little kitsune had cried himself to sleep. Kagome put him down long enough to get out her sleeping bag from her backpack. She picked him up and laid him on it.
"Sweet dreams Shippo. I'll always be here for you." She pulled back his bangs and kissed him goodnight on his forehead.
And you Inuyasha. I'll always be here for you. No matter how much you hate me, I will never leave your side.
Kagome stood up on her feet. "I'm going for a walk. Can you watch Shippo for me until I come back?"
"Sure," Miroku and Sango said at the same time. They watched Kagome pass behind the trees into the forest.
Not known to anyone, The Demon Lord of the Western Lands had been watching them from the highest tree limb.
Inuyasha, you're such a fool. Now the Tetsusaiga will be mine.
Inu: could you get on with the story
Inuro: I will, just wait a sec
