Kagome stared at Inuyasha sadly. "Inuyasha it's not like I don't trust you or anything...." She said awkwardly. . 'I don't see what he's so depressed about when he likes Kikyo.' She thought.
"Yea right." He said sarcastically looking away from her and Kagome sat up. 'What so now, she's trying to be all nice to me?' He thought.
"How can you expect me to believe you if you don't believe me?" Kagome said sadly trying to get up.
"Kagome, get down right now before you hurt yourself." He said quietly, walking towards her. Kagome shook her head stubbornly.
"I can move, Inuyasha." She said angrily. "What are you doing here anyway?"
Inuyasha glared at her. "What, you don't want me here?!" He asked at the brink of yelling. He almost lost it. He sighed and inhaled deeply and looked at her.
Kagome sighed. "I do believe you." She mumbled.
"Yea, right. I can hear the doubt in your voice." He mumbled. "You haven't listened to me at all the whole time I've been talking to you."
"You don't know what I'm thinking." She snapped.
"You know, I'm really sick of you doing that Kagome." He said quietly.
"I don't care. I say what I wanna say." She said stubbornly.
I don't want to get into a fight again. Don't* do this."
She looked down sadly and closed her eyes. "I'm sorry. I get carried away sometimes." She said in barely an audible whisper.
Inuyasha nodded and accepted her apology and watched as she continued to squirm around the area.
***********************************************
"Let's go back its getting dark." Sango said quietly sipping the rest of her drink and exiting the tavern. Miroku, Kaede, Shippo and Kirara nodded and followed her.
"What do you think they're doing?" Miroku asked, twirling his staff. Sango turned around and glared at him.
"YOU PERVERT!" She said smacking him across the face leaving him dumbfounded. Poor Miroku didn't even mean to be perverted this time, he meant what they were doing..in a non-perverted way. But Sango, unfortunately, took it the wrong way, resulting into his now swollen cheek.
Shippo shook his head and sighed. "Miroku, you should think about what you say before saying them. You could get hurt."
Miroku chuckled. "I'm already hurt. But that doesn't matter!" He said gleefully. "I like them fiery!"
Kaede and Shippo exchanged glances, gave the monk a look of pity and walked off to follow the flaming Sango.
"Hey guys! Hey! Wait for me! What was that look?" He asked, confused as to what was going on.
Kaede walked faster and went up to where Sango was. "Sango, do ye think anything happened between Inuyasha and Kagome?" She asked wondering about their odd behavior.
"All I know is that Kagome is WAY too stubborn to believe anything the poor guy says."
"I don't blame her though." Miroku interjected in the middle of the conversation.
"Why?" Sango asked, looking at him straight in the eye.
"How would you feel if you saw the person you truly cared about with someone else doing something a little too* friendly." He said sadly.
Kaede sighed. He was right. It was partly Inuyasha's fault Kagome acted that way. Sango turned to Kaede and sighed.
"Answer me this. Does Kikyo still love Inuyasha?" She asked, turning to face the old woman. Kaede stopped in her heels and looked straight at Sango.
"I don't know. It seems she has some sort of feeling for Inuyasha but I can't tell what it is. Hate, love, despair, longing..it's like its all there."
"She attacked Kagome you know." Sango said rather irritably.
"Yes I know, could you tell me a little more about what happened?"
"Well ever since Kagome spotted Kikyo kissing Inuyasha, Kikyo's been trying to kill her every time after that and Kagome insisted not to tell Inuyasha."
"Does he know now?"
"Yes, and he..well I think he's not too sure if it's true or not; which is why Kagome keeps on doubting him practically everything he says. I know he loves her though..He probably doesn't even know he does." She sighed spotting the hut. "We're here."
Shippo ran to the door as quick as possible and jumped straight onto Kagome.
"Kagome!"
"Shippo!" Kagome said with her arms wide for a hug. "Hey, why'd you guys leave us here?"
"We got tired of you too arguing and we left. You two didn't even know we were gone." Odd thing was, it was true, they didn't know they were gone and things weren't getting any better at all.
"Inuyasha, are you done arguing with Kagome?" Miroku asked walking up to the angry half-demon.
"Feh."
Miroku shook his head. 'He'll never learn.'
*************************
It was now extremely dark outside and Kaede and the others were getting ready to go to sleep. Kagome rolled open her sleeping mat as Shippo cuddled next to her, while Sango slept on her right. Miroku slept across from Sango and Kaede slept on the far corner. Inuyasha, however was sitting in front of an open fire trying to think about all the events that occurred.
'How could things be so complicated? Kagome wouldn't lie about something like this...but then again, I can't imagine Kikyo committing something like that.' Inuyasha sighed getting up and out the door.
He sat on the cool green grass and stared at the stars. The last time he looked up at the stars was over fifty years ago, about five days before Kikyo betrayed him. To tell the truth, he was the only one looking at them, Kikyo was busy telling him of the events of her day, too busy to even look at the stars.
Kikyo had come to him after a very long day telling him about her troubles with all the illnesses going around and how important her duties as a priestess were. She never really spent any time with him alone.
'Oh well,' he thought, 'It's not like that matters. It's not like that means anything..I think.'
Inuyasha looked back down at Kagome and sighed to himself. He couldn't believe what she said to Kaede.
*Flashback*
"What happened to ye?" The old woman in the priestess outfit asked the girl lying on the futon.
Kagome chuckled. "Kikyo beat me up."
*End Flashback*
"She could be just saying that..." He said to himself. "Or..Kikyo could be lying to me. It's hard to believe either one.. I've known Kikyo longer though."
"Inuyasha?" Inuyasha turned around and looked to see who called his name.
"What do you want Miroku?" He asked quietly with the same arrogance filled in his voice.
"What are you doing? Shouldn't you be sleeping?"
"Feh. Shouldn't you, monk?" He barked, ignoring that he was even there. He didn't say a word for about five minutes, but the silence wouldn't last for long.
"Inuyasha?"
"WHAT?" He hissed whipping around to glare at the monk.
"You thinking?"
Inuyasha sighed. "Yes. Thinking. Now leave me alone."
"About Kagome I see." He mused chuckling to himself looking back at the hut where sleeping girl from the future was.
"No it's not like---"
"And Kikyo." Miroku finished. "Sorry for bothering you Inuyasha I was just wondering. Guess I found out myself."
"No I don't---"
"Good night Inuyasha, enjoy your thinking time." He said sarcastically before walking back to the hut to get some sleep.
Inuyasha sighed. 'Dumb monk.' Feeling an urge to beat on something until it broke in half.
'What are you so angry about, its true isn't it?' said a voice in his head.
'What?' said another.
'Admit it lover boy, your stuck. You can't choose between two beautiful women, eh? It figures.' Said another voice.
'LOVER BOY?! WHAT THE HELL?! SHUT UP!!!!!!!' Another voice yelled.
Inuyasha growled at himself and walked deeper into the forest to be alone; alone in a place where that annoying monk wouldn't find him. It wasn't like he had anything against the monk; it was just because he needed some time by himself.
**********
The sun rose. It was morning already. Inuyasha had spent the night alone in the woods, barely even getting a single hour of sleep. He turned and looked the direction of Kaede's hut and sighed. He was definitely not looking forward to going back.
*********
Kagome got up and rubbed her eyes. Her eyes searched the hut. There was Miroku, who had mysteriously found his way next to Sango's sleeping form, Shippo and Kaede. Her eyes though, were fixed on finding a certain half- demon.
'Where's Inuyasha?' She thought looking around the hut.
Kagome got up from her sleeping bag as quietly as she could, not forgetting her bow and arrows and walked outside.
She looked around anxiously, afraid if something would attack her again. In the back of her mind, she knew someone, shape of form would be there to save her, but there was still a doubting side to it. No one was there when she beaten by Kikyo. No one.
She wanted to go home. Not because her body was still sore, but because she didn't want to spend any more time in the Feudal Era. Inside, she really cared for Inuyasha and it hurt to know that he felt that way for someone else. Someone who she was reincarnated from.
'Maybe I could go right now. He's not here anyway.' She thought walking towards the forest not knowing that Inuyasha was in the very same one.
"Hello Kagome, good morning." Inuyasha said, popping out of nowhere and shocking Kagome.
"G-Good morning Inuyasha." She stuttered trying to look away. He smirked and looked at the bow in her hand.
"Planning on going somewhere?"
"Errm...no. I just wanted to take a walk. Er.I.I didn't want to go unarmed."
"A walk, eh? I'll go with you." He said looking off into the distance.
"No I-"
It was too late. Inuyasha was already heading into the forest, not to mention he took her wrist and softly dragged her alone with him.
"Inuyasha, you can let go of me you know." She said pulling her wrist from his. He turned to look at her but didn't say a word. He only shrugged and continued to walk trying to hide his feelings.
Kagome was silent. She held onto her bow tightly, not wanting to let go. Inuyasha noticed this and sighed.
"Kagome, you don't need to be worrying if anyone attacks us." He sighed.
"Easy for you to say, you* weren't the one who got attacked." She snapped taking Inuyasha off guard. He took a deep breath and tried to regain himself.
'Damn she's so stubborn.' He thought. Inuyasha looked down at the ground.
'What's gotten into him?' Kagome thought looking at Inuyasha who hadn't said a word.
*Flashback*
"Do not interfere with Inuyasha and me, understood?" Kikyo said punching her across the face.
*End Flashback*
Kagome shrugged and continued walking on. She wanted to ask him what was wrong but she remembered what Kikyo said and began to worry if she was around. Inuyasha looked up and followed her as she walked to the forest.
"Kagome..what happened?"
"Nothing. I already told you what you should know, I plan on keeping the rest to myself." She mumbled. "Why don't we head back to Kaede's hut? I'm sure they're probably wondering where we are." She said hastily trying to change the subject.
Inuyasha grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. "What happened?" He asked again with a fire in his eyes.
"Let go of me Inuyasha."
"Tell me."
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." She said, pulling her arm out of his grasp. "I'm going back." She said, running through the forest leaving a confused half demon to watching her.
*******************
Kagome ran back through the forest as quick as she could trying the best she could not to look back where she left the half-demon.
She ran all the way hut and pushed open the flap and ran inside getting strange looks from Miroku, Sango, Kaede and Shippo.
"Kagome.?" Sango asked looking at her oddly.
Kagome was breathing hard. That was the fastest she ran in a long time. "Y- Yes.?" She said continuing her deep breaths.
"Wha...What were you running from?"
*Flashback*
"Tell me what happened."
*End Flashback*
"N-Nothing.." She said trying to regain composure. "Uh.just uh.."
Just then, Inuyasha came in. Kagome looked up her eyes as wide as a pan. She gulped and gave him a nervous smile, while in return, he gave her a menacing glare.
Sango became quiet, silenced by Inuyasha's deep glare at Kagome.
*******************
Hours later, Inuyasha and Kagome were still silent towards one another. It seemed as if Inuyasha was hurt by something that happened. Sango got up and cleared her throat.
"Uhm, Kagome? Can I talk to you?" Sango asked walking out the door. Kagome looked up and followed Sango out the door.
After a few minutes of walking a reasonable distance away from the hut, Sango turned to Kagome.
"Kagome.what happened now?"
"I didn't do anything..He just asked what happened and I wouldn't tell him."
"That's it?"
"And I told him he wouldn't understand if I told me anyway.."
Sango sighed. "And.?"
"And he tried to pull me back but then I pulled my hand off his and ran away from him as fast as I could."
"You know, he has feeling too, Kagome."
"It was the truth anyway. It's not like he cares."
Sango let out a deep sigh. "WHY don't you just give him a chance? You owe it to him."
"Owe? I don't owe* him anything!"
"Kagome, he's saved your life more times than I can count. You owe him..at least that much."
Kagome sighed. She was right. "Alright. Tonight. I'll listen to what he has to say."
**********************
"Tonight's the night. I've distract Inuyasha. While you, attack Kagome."
"How are you so sure that the girl will get out of the hut?" Asked the demon standing right in front of her.
"I'm positive."
"And what do I get in return?"
Kikyo smirked. "I will get you a shard from the sacred Shikon Jewel."
"Done."
"Oh.and one more thing." She said before the demon left.
"Yes?"
"Don't breathe a single word to anyone."
*************************
'Well today, went by quicker than I thought it would.' She thought looking out the dark window watching everyone get ready to sleep. Inuyasha sat by the fire changing his glance to look at her every now and then.
'She's really starting to bug me. She won't trust me, she won't say anything.' He thought to himself. 'I really need some fresh air. I'll wait until everyone's asleep.'
After a few minutes when he was certain everyone was asleep, he walked out of the hut.
"A little fresh air always did calm my senses." He whispered to himself.
" The same with me."
"What? Who was..." Inuyasha turned around, ready to attack. "Who's there?"
"You don't recognize my voice?" Kikyo said appearing in front of him.
"Kikyo." He whispered. "What is it?"
"I just thought I wanted to see you."
Inuyasha glared at her. "Tell me the truth. Just what did you do to Kagome?"
"I've told you. I haven't done anything."
"She says* you beat her." He said sternly grabbing her shoulders softly.
"She says a lot of things." She said, not pulling out of his grasp.
"Kikyo please. I need the truth." He begged looking into her ice cold eyes.
"It is the truth." She said, smirking knowing Inuyasha would fall into her lies.
*********************
"Where is he?" Kagome mumbled to herself getting out of her sleeping bag and looking out the door. She took her bow and arrow and walked out the door beginning to walk towards the forest.
*************
"I need to know."
"Trust me. I didn't do anything. Why don't you ever trust me like you did before?"
'I've got him. Kagome should be dead any minute now.'
"I do trust you. And I always will." He whispered. 'What am I saying...? Kagome...'
**************
Kagome walked across the area looking around, jumping at every little noise. 'I really wish I didn't come out here.' She thought to herself.
*************
'She's here. Any minute now.' The demon said to himself getting ready to attack.
************
'I sense a demon, nearby.' Kagome thought panicking.
************
"NOW DIE!" The demon yelled jumping out of a bush near hear. Kagome's eyes widened as she frantically took her bow and arrow to shoot at it.
"Get away from me!"

"What? Who was..." Inuyasha turned around, ready to attack. "Who's there?"
"You don't recognize my voice?" Kikyo said appearing in front of him.
"Kikyo." He whispered. "What is it?"
"I just thought I wanted to see you."
Inuyasha glared at her. "Tell me the truth. Just what did you do to Kagome?"
"I've told you. I haven't done anything."
"She says* you beat her." He said sternly grabbing her shoulders softly.
"She says a lot of things." She said, not pulling out of his grasp.
"Kikyo please. I need the truth." He begged looking into her ice cold eyes.
"It is the truth." She said, smirking knowing Inuyasha would fall into her lies.
*********************
"Where is he?" Kagome mumbled to herself getting out of her sleeping bag and looking out the door. She took her bow and arrow and walked out the door beginning to walk towards the forest.
*************
"I need to know."
"Trust me. I didn't do anything. Why don't you ever trust me like you did before?"
'I've got him. Kagome should be dead any minute now.'
"I do trust you. And I always will." He whispered. 'What am I saying...? Kagome...'
**************
Kagome walked across the area looking around, jumping at every little noise. 'I really wish I didn't come out here.' She thought to herself.
*************
'She's here. Any minute now.' The demon said to himself getting ready to attack.
************
'I sense a demon, nearby.' Kagome thought panicking.
************
"NOW DIE!" The demon yelled jumping out of a bush near hear. Kagome's eyes widened as she frantically took her bow and arrow to shoot at it.
"Get away from me!"
