Chapter 4: Fighting uu

Kagome squealed and covered her face, waiting for the lizard to pounce on her.

When she didn't feel or hear anything, she looked up and noticed Inuyasha standing over her with the parts of the lizard behind him. She gaped up at him.

"I-Inuyasha?" Was all she could mutter out. Sure they had had a, and they were both pretty pissed off at each other, but she had forgotten to make sure she wasn't wondering off. How could she forget such a thing? She wasn't in her time where walking around her neighborhood or around town was safer than walking in the demon infested woods of the Sengoku Jidai.

Inuyasha just stared down at her with his usual pissed off expression. Kagome gulped, fearing a scolding from him she didn't want to hear.

"You ok?" He asked, catching Kagome off guard. She blinked and looked up at him with confusion. "Kagome, are you alright?!" He bent down and poked her forehead.

Kagome snapped out of it and glared at him "Don't poke me!" She said pushing his hand away. Inuyasha glared at her.

"Well, then answer me next time!" Inuyasha shot back. Kagome got up and glared down at him as Inuyasha inched away fearing the dreaded word.

"I was fine! I just didn't expect you to save me...I didn't know how far away from Kaede's place I was!" She yelled down at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha twitched with annoyance "You don't have to bite my head off! I was worried about you! And that's what you get for wondering off on your on own!" Inuyasha yelled back, making a point, for once.

Kagome looked away, not knowing a good come-back to yell back at him.

Inuyasha snorted and got up. "C'mon..." He said turning his back towards Kagome and bending down "Miroku and the others are worried about you...we best hurry."

Kagome blinked and climbed on his back and he hopped away, back to Kaede's village.

There was a rustling in the bushes as Inuyasha had hopped away.

"...She must be his woman..." The figure said. "And she must be the one helping him with his fears and such...that old tree has to be helping too. Maybe I won't be needed...but, Inuyasha's past is to be feared. Anyone who lived through that has to be a psycho..." The figure sighed.

Inuyasha and Kagome arrived at Kaede's hut at about sunset. Kagome climbed off of Inuyasha as Shippo ran up and jumped into her arms.

"Kagome, we thought you were gonna get eaten or something!" Shippo said with a cry. Miroku and Sango walked out of the hut and sighed.

"She wasn't gonna get eaten...Inuyasha's protecting her!" Sango said, trying to get on the better side of Inuyasha. Inuyasha just snorted and looked away.

"Well, in any case, Kagome is safe and sound...Shippo...you can go to bed NOW..." Miroku said forcefully. Shippo cowered in Kagome arms.

"But I don't wanna!" Shippo said. Miroku rolled his eyes.

"You do need sleep, Shippo-chan..." Kagome said. "And the sun's going down...it's your bed time anyway."

Shippo crossed his arms and pouted "But I wanna stay awake with you guys!"

Inuyasha was fed up with this. "Shippo...its time for bed...now go to sleep!"

Shippo pouted and hopped out of Kagome's arms and into Kaede's hut. "S'not fair..." He mumbled.

They all walked over to the fire Miroku had built and sat. "Kagome...what gives you the right to run off like that?" Inuyasha said with a glare. Kagome blinked.

"Well, can you blame me?!" Kagome yelled back at Inuyasha. "If I'm not mistaken...you were the one that was being a jerk, like always!" Kagome accused back.

Inuyasha twitched "Oh really, but I was the one who saved you!"

"Well maybe if you would just tell me then you could stop having nightmares and we wouldn't be fighting right now!" Kagome yelled back.

"I don't want to! I don't trust anyone that much!"

Kagome's glare turned into a sad gaze. "You mean...you don't even trust...me?" Kagome said with a sniffle.

Inuyasha blinked "Ah, Kagome...don't cry...please!"

Miroku and Sango sighed. They were always fighting and Kagome could always end it with either "sit" or her crying. Miroku knew the outcome and decided he didn't fell like watching it again for the millionth time. "Sango...why don't we leave them alone...I'm tired" Sango nodded and they both got up and left to go get some well-needed sleep.

"Can you blame me for crying!? I thought we were friends!! And I thought we could trust each other! I trust you with my life, Inuyasha! Why can't you trust me?!" Kagome said pointing an accusing finger at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha gulped. "I told you! I can't trust anyone! Ever!" Inuyasha shot back. Kagome sniffed and gazed at her lap.

"You...trusted Kikyo..." She said solemnly

Inuyasha blinked "...yeah...and did you see what I got for it?" He said with a disgusted humph.

Kagome gazed at Inuyasha "Inuyasha, I told you...I'm not Kikyo...I'm Kagome and I would never do anything like that to you...I don't want to hurt you in anyway, Inuyasha...why can't you see that?"

Inuyasha looked away. "I'm tired...you should get some sleep..." He then jumped up into his favorite tree as Kagome watched him with saddened eyes. She then moved her sleeping bag under the branch he was on.

"Good night, Inuyasha..." Kagome whispered.

Inuyasha's eyes twitched around but he didn't say anything to respond.

A figured walked into the camp site and looked around. She stared at Kagome for a moment then at Inuyasha u pin his tree.

"He seems like he's been busy. Making friends is a big deal for him...poor soul. I'm glad he actually has something to live for now..." She said as she hopped away.

Inuyasha eyed her. what the hell is she doing here? He asked himself.
