A/N: Alright! I have the next chapter up! Sorry for the delay. The little thingy where it had the same chapter took me a little time to fix and then I had homework and my best friend who might have cancer, and my grandmother just died this morning, so ANYWAY, here's the fic! The chapter everyone wants to know because I was evil in the last chapter. Gomen nasai.

eddie-Dude, you must really like my story. You review like, every chapter. I'm glad someone does.

chisama-tori-I'm really glad you think it's interesting. At least a few people do.

Demon Girl-Alright I changed the chapter 8. Thanks for telling me. ^_^

Chapter 9- Finding

I was closer to it. I began to inch even closer, I had my mind on it being one thing. One person.

I got on my hands and knees and knelt beside it. I heard it moan and whimper out.

"umm,"

All of a sudden it perked up. It almost hit me in the face. I did not appreciate that.

"Inuyasha?"

"Nani?"

"Inuyasha?"

"Kag-Kagome?" I saw him rub his eyes. I could barely see in this dark.

"Inuyasha!" I threw my arms around him. I was joyous. Nothing could hold me back.

"Miroku!"

"What is it Kagome? Is that?"

"Long time no see."

"Inuyasha!"

"What's everyone, oh Inuyasha." Sango finally got the message.

"Inuyasha" I whispered into his chest. I felt his arms go around me and he hugged me tight.

"Now I can finally hold you in my arms and let everything be ok." He leaned down and his words tickled my ear.

"Why did all this happen?"

"That Hojo guy."

"Have you seen him?"

"No. The only person I've seen has been Naraku."

"What are we going to do?"

"I don't know."

"For one, let's get out of this basement." Miroku seemed to have been listening in on our conversation. Did that surprise me? No.

"Baka. Don't you think if I could I would have!"

"What do you mean Inuyasha?"

"I need a knife." His hands and feet were taped, tied, and chained together and then his feet glued to the floor. It was obvious that they wouldn't come off easily.

"Here. Wait a second my friend."

Miroku dug in his pockets and finally drug out a Swiss Army Knife. He sat next to Inuyasha and got some of his tape off. That was the first layer.

It took Miroku 10 minutes to get the tape off both his hands and his right foot. He was still working on getting the tape off. I was worried. I didn't want Naraku to come and find us down here. I wished Miroku would hurry up.

Inuyasha noticed I looked worried. He hugged me again and wouldn't let me go. I felt safer than I ever had with my doors double locked and my alarm system on. It felt like nothing bad would happen as long as I stayed in his arms.

"I need your hands again Inuyasha. I'm finished with your tape."

Growling, he slipped his arms out from being around me. I moved closer to him and put my head against his shoulder. I was tired. He sensed that.

We waited another 15 minutes until Miroku got all the rope off.

The glue was the worst.

Sango went up to the linen closet, up again all those stairs, and got some water and soup.

Miroku and Sango rubbed at the glue and tried to get it to come off.

It was, but it was slow.

I began to slow my breath and listen closer to Inuyasha's heart beat. My eyelids began to flicker and I yawned. I began to dream again.

Flashback Dream

"What did you call me?"

"Bitch."

"Uhh! That's it! I'm not going out with you anymore Inuyasha!"

"Wait Kagome!"

"Inuyasha, I'm fed up with all this. I can't take it anymore!"

"Feh. Leave then. You won't get your V6 tickets though."

"You wouldn't dare."

"I thought that was part of the bet. You pretend to go out with me, save our social status, you do my homework for the rest of the semester, I give you V6 tickets."

"Jerk!"

"Oh. Great comeback, wench."

"My name is Kagome! KA-GO-ME! Do I need to spell it out for you?"

"No! Just don't get all feisty on me. God, it's not like I did anything except call you a bitch and a wench."

"Uhh! Jerk!"

"At least I'm not a brain dead baka who needs glasses."

"Uhh! You are calling me a baka?!?!"

"I never said you. Maybe that decription does fit you well though."

"Jerk! No wonder you don't get any second dates!"

"."

"Are you listening to me?"

"Feh."

"Uhhh! Insensitive jerk!"

"I think we have established I am a jerk."

"Ughhhhh! I'm leaving!"

"Wait!"

"What is it now?"

"I need you."

"What do you mean?"

"I need you."

"Do you mean you do actually care about me?"

"No. I mean, I need you to help me pay the bill."

"You.jerk! Uggghhhh! I hate you!"

"I hate you too!"

"Fine then."

End Flashback Dream

~~~~**** ~~~~**** ~~~~**** ~~~~**** ~~~~****

"Kagome? You ready to go?"

"Huh? Inuyasha?"

"Ya. You ready? Miroku amd Sango are finished."

"Ya. Let's go."

"What were you dreaming about? You didn't seem to like it."

"It was just an old flashback."

"What?"

"Our first date."

"You mean, our real first date? With the yelling, when we hated-"

"Hai."

"I guess it wasn't to pleasant then."

"While you were gone, I had a dream about the amusement park and the Amazing Death of Doom Drop."

He stifled back a laugh.

"Our first time at an amusement park together?"

"Hai."

"Kagome?"

"Nani?"

"When we get out of here, I'll stay over at your place and I'll protect you."

"More like I'll protect you."

"Feh."

"Don't start that with me Inuyasha."

"."

At least we were back together. But, would we stay that way?

A/N: Ok. I don't know how many chapters this stupid thing will have. No this is not the end. But, I didn't make such an evil cliffhanger this time. Forgive me! I just had to stop. Oh well. Anyway, please review. I'd really like some ideas too, if you have them. Should I add anyone else, ya know, like Shippou, Sesshoumaru, Jaken, Rin, Kaede, or anybody else? Or, is this good? Please tell me!

~~~Y.L.S.

Never ever M.S. or A.R.A.

They're a little too stupid to make a fanfic.

(We heard that! What? What did we hear? Can't you stay awake for three seconds? No. What kind of person are you? One who enjoys their sleep. You sleep every nine minutes. I need my rest. You're ugly enough already. I heard that! Good!)

Shut up! This is my fanfic! I don't want your conversation in it!

Anyway!

Like I said
