Chapter 10- Kagome's Outburst

"How do you know this?" Kagome asked, "Why haven't you told Inuyasha?"

"He already knows." Hikaru said solemnly. "Come on, we need to get back to the village."

He already knows? That means he STILL wants to become a demon... Kagome tried to shake the thought from her head as they walked back to the village.

Half way to the village Hikaru caught Inuyasha's scent and the scent of his sweat. She looked over at Kagome, He's worried about her, worried so much that he's sweating. Does he really think I'd harm her? The cat half-demon didn't get a chance to think of a possible answer. Inuyasha dropped down from a tree in front of the two girls with Tetsigua out and ready.

"Hikaru" he growled, "what are you doing to Kagome?"

"Relax Inuyasha I wasn't going to hurt her. We decided to go for walk, that's all." She smiled at him knowingly, "You're really over protective, you know that?"

His eyes widened with recognition, How could she know how I feel about Kagome? Does she still know me that well? He lowered his sword and decided it was best not to answer.

"Inuyasha that was completely uncalled for!" Kagome corrected him.

"What!? Uncalled for?? FINE! I'll remember that next time you get kidnapped by Naraku or something! See if I come and save you ever again!" He sheathed the Tetsigua realizing there was nothing to worry about and crossed his arms over his chest.

Kagome's eyes filled with tears, He won't come and save me anymore? She balled up her fists, "SIT BOY!"

Inuyasha was pulled face first in the dirt with a thud. Hikaru laughed merrily, "Inuyasha... you are pulled down by... the sit command?" She bent over laughing.

"It's not..." he tried to sit up but was still held down by the force of the spell, "that funny... Hikaru."

Miroku and Sango finally arrived behind Inuyasha. "Well I guess since Inuyasha's sitting then there was no danger after all." Sango said. Finally he could sit up.

"You think I'd hurt your friends Inuyasha?" Hikaru asked a little hurt.

"Well you threatened to kill me didn't you?" The others fell silent.

Hikaru raised her voice getting frustrated, "Only if you used the shikron jewel to become a demon. Which I see you haven't done yet, so I don't feel the need to kill you."

"Well when I am a demon you won't be able to stop me!" He yelled even louder.

"SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT...." Kagome screamed with tears burning down her cheeks, "SIIIIIIIIIIT!" She jumped over the sitting Inuyasha and took off down the trail.

Shocked by the sudden outburst no one moved to stop her. Kagome disappeared through the night time forest.

Hikaru seemed to be the only one who was not shocked, "Inuyasha you have a really bad way with women."

Sango and Miroku nodded in agreement. "You got that right." The monk said.

If he was going to become a demon then he was only using her. Her anger made her run faster and harder through the woods. Kagome let her feet lead her, she let her rage take her in whatever direction it went. After minuets of running she tripped on a tree root and fell face fist in the dirt. She stayed there lying on the ground crying.
