A/N: Only two reviews, shame shame*Does that annoying finger scrape thing*
Well, I'm putting up another chapter because I didn't like the other
chapter very much, I know it wasn't a cliffy but I have this annoying habit
of not realizing something till it's too late(Plus it'll be important later
on in the story.I think.maybe.perhaps*Cough*). And the annoying habit of
being annoying, and a few others but I won't go into detail. Oh, and if
you'd like me to e-mail you when I update, put your e-mail in your review
and I'll e-mail you. Wow, I said e-mail three times-no wait, four, lol.
Beata is my official editor; that means she gets to read my chapters before
everyone else, BWAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!*Cough* Okay, Anyhoo.
Disclaimer: *Dreams are shattered* How could you?! You should have enough common sense to know that I don't own Inuyasha! But a girl can dream can't she? Shut up! *Throws stuff at the peanut gallery*

Chapter three
Time runs short
Sun beams filtered down through the tree branches and danced across Kagome's face as she walked along side of her hanyou. It was a beautiful day, but she just couldn't smile. Inuyasha had been acting awfully strange lately, and Kagome could see he was worrying about something. It wasn't like him to worry about things, like, if he were to lose control when he turned into a full youkai.
Her mind kept replaying their conversation again and again.
**Flash back**
Inuyasha awkwardly avoided her eyes as he spoke.
"If I were to turn into a full demon, and lose control, could you put me out of my misery?"
Kagome's mouth opened in shock. "You mean. .?"
"Yes Kagome, could you kill me?"
She just sat there, staring at the ground. What was going on? Inuyasha never worried about this . . . did he? Why was he asking? Of course she couldn't kill him; she would find a way to bring him back. She could never kill him, he was her Hanyou-' Wait, why am I blushing? He isn't my Hanyou, but, how could he ask me to kill him? What's going on? This must have something to do with Kikyou.'
She looked up at him but he looked away.
"No Inuyasha, I could never kill you, you should know that." She then added, smiling. "You're my friend, my companion; I would do everything I could to help you, even if it cost me my life."
He looked up, shock clearly printed on his face.
"Y-you would sacrifice your life . . . for me?"
Kagome was taken by surprise as he pulled her to him in an embrace. He buried his face in her hair and they just sat like that for what seemed like an eternity. Kagome just felt so safe there, snuggled up in his arms, she never wanted to let go.
"Kagome, you-I-I~" But he was cut off as a twig snapped nearby.
He jumped up and ran to some bushes. Sango, Miroku and Shippou all jumped and scattered as soon as Inuyasha reached their hiding place. He was chasing them now and Kagome couldn't help but snicker, but she quickly stopped, Inuyasha seemed himself now, but, what was going on?!
**End flash back**
Inuyasha just looked ahead. He was fuming, yet somehow, he was relieved. The three eavesdroppers went on ahead, all sporting many bumps. They had saved him, how was he going to tell her? What was he going to tell her?
He knew Kagome was watching him and he knew she was worried, but that wasn't the problem. He didn't have much time left. He knew he should choose Kagome; it wasn't her fault that she got sucked in this world and pulled into his life, plus, he should put Kikyou out of her misery, but, now that Kikyou was back, he couldn't let her die, something inside of him just wouldn't let that happen. He had been in love with Kikyou but the only thing that kept her alive was her hate for him. This was all so confusing.
~*~
Time was running short, he couldn't let Kagome die, but he couldn't let Kikyou die either. He watched Kagome rest. She looked so peaceful when she slept, but tonight her brow was furrowed and she kept tossing and turning.
'Must be having a bad dream.' He thought, jumping off of his normal perch on a low tree branch and landing silently a few feet from Kagome's sleeping form. She was kicking so much that she kicked her sleeping bag off of her and barely missed the little Kitsune at her feet, who just rolled away. He watched as she began to shiver and he smiled, taking off his haori and laying it on top of her, she snuggled up in it and smiled.
"I-Inuyasha,"
He jerked and stared at her, was she awake? Or just dreaming about him?
"Inuyasha, what's going on? Inuyasha, p-please talk to me..."
He blinked; what was she going on about? He watched her as she turned over with her back to him. She was asleep, he could tell, she must just be having a bad dream.
He sat there and watched her till the light of dawn caught his face, making him glow in a way. Kagome had slept soundly after he had given her his haori, so he just listened to her soft breathing, wishing that he could sit there, with her snuggled up against him, so he could feel her heart beat, and stroke her mane. His hand reached out to touch her shoulder but he pulled away as she stirred.
~*~
Kagome lay on her sleeping bag for a few moments before she noticed that it wasn't her sleeping bag that was wrapped around her but something red. She looked up, without moving her head, and saw that it was Inuyasha's haori. She remembered the dream she had had. Inuyasha had lost control and turned to a full youkai, he had killed the others in such brutality that it made her shiver. She knew it was a dream, but it seemed so real.
She lay there for a moment, knowing Inuyasha was watching her; he normally did before everyone woke up. But she flinched as she felt his hand reach forward, sighing in relief as it retreated. Why was she afraid of his touch? That dream . . . It-it just wouldn't leave her mind.
'It wasn't real.' She kept telling herself over and over. 'It wasn't real, so why do I flinch at his touch?'
~*~
Inuyasha walked ahead of the others, deep in thought.
'So . . . tonight, when the sky grows dark, Kikyou will come, and I have to choose.'
He went over in his mind what he would do.
'Okay, I'll take Kagome away from the others~ shit! They'll follow, those annoying little eavesdropping bastards! I guess I'll have to bring them all, or maybe we can sneak away . . . I doubt it, but it would at least buy some time before they follow.'
Kagome had been watching Inuyasha all morning; ever since she had awoken he had been avoiding her eyes. She was beginning to get worried. Something happened between him and Kikyou that he was worrying about it. She studied his face, trying to find some clue as to what it was. But he just walked along, staring ahead.
Miroku, Sango and Shippou walked behind the other two, whispering to each other. Kagome and Inuyasha had been avoiding each other all morning and the three had gotten worried.
"What's going on?" Asked a concerned Shippou, perched on Sango's shoulder.
"We're not sure," replied Miroku, "But they have been acting very strange since Lady Kagome returned."
"And Inuyasha passed up ramen, this must be serious." Shippou looked at the two and they nodded in agreement.
Miroku looked over at Sango who hadn't said anything for a while.
"Are you okay?"
"Hm?" Her eyes tore away from the two in front of them. "Yes, just thinking."
"'Bout what?" The little Kitsune tugged lightly at her ear and she smiled.
"Well, Inuyasha came back late the other day, right? And when Kagome- chan came back, he tried to avoid her until it was utterly impossible . . ." Miroku and Shippou stared at her, nodding. So she continued,
"Then he took her on a walk to talk privately."
Miroku leaned in a little closer. "Oh, so, whatever happened between the time that Lady Kagome left~"
"What?" the Kitsune inquired, not catching on.
" ~and the time that Inuyasha returned~" Sango added.
"What?!?" (Still clueless Shippou.)
"Something must have happened." The two said in unison, coming to the same conclusion.
A vein popped on the confused little Shippou's forehead.
"Grr! What are you two TALKING ABOUT?!?!"
Miroku quickly covered his mouth as Kagome and Inuyasha turned to see what was going on.
"What're you yellin' for runt?" Inuyasha said, glaring at him.
Sango looked desperate as she quickly ripped out her infamous boomerang and hit Miroku upside the head with it. "HENTAI!" (E/D Jeez! Poor Miroku!)
Kagome rolled her eyes and began walking again.
"Those two." She laughed softly to herself; not even noticing that Inuyasha was watching her.
