Chapter 8

A few hours later Inuyasha went back into the hut to see how Kagome was doing. She's still sleep,he thought. Good. I just hope she's going to be ok.

"Inuyasha?"whispered Miroku.

"Yeah Miroku?"

"Can I talk to you outside?"

"Yeah sure. Just give me a second ok?"

He nodded and went outside.

Inuyasha went over to Kagome and kissed her forehead. I'm staying with you Kagome, thought. There's nobody else that I'd rather be with.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

"What is it Miroku?"Inuyasha asked as he came out of the hut.

"How is she?"he asked.

He sighed. "She's fine. Did Sango tell you what happened?"

"No. But she told me that Kagome was here. That's when I figured that something was wrong."

"Someone from her school got angry. And...well..."

"What happened Inuyasha?!"

"She just told him that we were getting married and now I think he wants to kill Kagome. I'm going to stay with her until we get something figured out."

"Then let me come with you."

"Oh no! You've got Sango and that should be good enough for you."

"I just want to protect her Inuyasha."

"She'll be fine with me Miroku. You have Sango to protect."

He sighed. "Yeah. I guess you're right."

"I'm not going to let her get hurt Miroku. Or even worse..."

"I understand."

"You need to stay here. I don't want you getting into more trouble. Sango would kill you and you know it."

"The last thing I need is for someone to tell me that."

"Well,it's true."

He sighed. "Ok."

"If something happens I'll come back and get you guys ok?"

"That's fine."

"It's bad enough with all this going on."

"When did Kagome arrive?"

"A few hours ago. She's been sleeping for a awhile. She needs it though. She looks so exhausted."

"Shows that you care."

"NOW WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!"

"Nothing! Nothing at all! I was only kidding! I swear!"

"I've told you not to do that."

"Sorry..."

"Will you promise me to stay here?"

"Didn't I already tell you?"

"I just wanted to make sure."

"Well,I had better go,"and he left Inuyasha to be alone.

He looked over to the hut and there stood Kagome. I hope she's ok,he thought.

"Inuyasha..."she said as she walked over to him.

"Are you ok?"

"I was just about to ask you that. But I'm fine."

"You don't have to leave right away you know?"

"I know. I'm not going to."

"But..."

She put her finger on his lips. "You've been worried about me,haven't you?"

He sighed and smiled. "Yes. I don't want you to get hurt Kagome."

"I know. That's why I want to make sure you really want to come with me."

"I love you Kagome. I don't have any other choice."

"Thank you." I don't have any other choice either Inuyasha,she thought. That's why I want to stay with here with you.
