Chapter 5: A twitch of the ears is all it takes

Inuyasha sprinted quickly as far from Kouga as he could get. Kagome was furious, she'd completely let herself become a victim; it was absolutely pathetic. She gathered her wits and strength then sent a swift kick into Inuyasha's stomach.

Inuyasha doubled over in pain and let go of Kagome to clutch at his gut with shock. "Kagome, why did you do that for?" he asked bemusedly. He straightened up and glared at her, "Why'd you kick me? I haven't done anything to you!"

Kagome glared ferociously and launched herself at Inuyasha only to be stopped by his gentle but firm grip. "Kagome please..." his voice was soft and sad as he met her eyes. "Don't you remember me? Kouga probably lied to you. It's me...it's Inuyasha..."

Kagome struggled and attempted to kick him; he shifted and tripped her neatly onto her bottom. "I'm sorry, but just concentrate! You have to know me!" He stopped as an idea hit him. "Here, read this, you wrote this yourself!" He sat next to her with an emotionless face.

Kagome inched away as Inuyasha stuck a hand into his fire rat robes and extracted the small black journal; with a shaking hand he handed it to her and waited for her to read it. Kagome grabbed it tentatively and opened it with great hesitance.

She read quickly enough and then spat out, "I didn't write this, but you sure are a jerk." she got up and Inuyasha stood with her. "What do you mean? Don't you remember?" Kagome laughed without feeling and said sarcastically, "Remember what? That I supposedly love you, ha ha, ya right! Get away from me!"

She shoved him and he offered no resistance so her momentum led her to fall on him too. Her elbow was dug deeply into his stomach and he made a slight, 'oof' sound. Kagome's head rested on his chest and she looked up to see his ears swivelling. With twitching fingers she edged her hands carefully to the ears. Inuyasha waited, patiently swivelling his ears, knowing she wouldn't be able to resist.

Kagome's hand made its way to his ears and lightly stroked them; she gasped as though she had had the air smashed from her lungs. She backed away from an overly worried Inuyasha and began to run. She stopped though, and fell to her knees, clutching her head with a maddening desire to block out the sound.

Inuyasha watched as Kagome let out a shriek, clutching her head and withering on the ground. Inuyasha jumped to her and held her tightly, whispering incoherent words and rubbing her back. "Kagome, Kagome are you back?" he finally asked.

Kagome turned and cried into his red robes. "Yes," she whimpered. "Inuyasha, I'm sorry, please forgive me..." Inuyasha chuckled and whispered, "Forgive you for what? It's me who should be apologizing. And I am sorry." Then Kouga showed up and disrupted the mood.

"Kagome, get away from him. He's dangerous!" he stated as he stood on Inuyasha's head. He expected Kagome to run, but she turned fiery on him and screeched, "How dare you lie to me, Kouga! How could you trick me when I was defenceless?!"

Inuyasha grinned and knocked Kouga down. Kagome clenched her fists and then felt a sharp pain in her wrists. Her mouth parted in surprise and she whirled around and ran. Kouga sulked and sped off with vigorous speed. Inuyasha followed Kagome rapidly and found her stuck in some brambles.

Kagome couldn't care less what tore as long as she freed herself from the bushes and escaped from Inuyasha. Inuyasha gently freed her and grasped her around the waist, pulling her to him.

"Inuyasha, just leave me alone!" she shouted and futilely struggled. Inuasyha lowered his face to hers and Kagome felt her heart shatter...

I'm so freakin' evil, lol. Don't worry, I will continue it tomorrow. Ciao peeps.
