I don't own Inu Yasha.

Living Together

Inu Yasha stared wide-eyed at Sango and Miroku. But then again, he knew the day would come eventually when they would fall in love. He sat across from the two who were leaning against each other.

' They talk to me like nothing different ever happened. I can't wait for Kagome to get back.'

"Hey guys! Sango? Miroku?"

"Took you long enough! What were you doing?"

"Oh chill out, Inu Yasha! I didn't even leave the house. I had to do some chores and stuff."

The two glared at each other and Sango and Miroku glanced at each other nervously. This morning they had been in love but now they were fighting again. Sango sat up as did Miroku and they looked at the two suspiciously.

"So, Sango and I discussed it, and we think that it's time that you two lived separately from us. Kagome, this is important. Stop playing."

Kagome stopped cuddling with Shippo and stroked him on her lap.

"I don't know what happened last night, but it isn't appropriate in Kaede's home. Shippo is here and so are Miroku and I. I would have thought that you two could have more self-restraint, but I was wrong."

"Yes, and don't even think that that kind of stuff is going to happen when Kaede is around. You have a choice: separate or move out."

Kagome and Inu Yasha held hands and looked at each other inquisitively.

"We need to talk about this first."

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

"N-O! NO!!"

"Why not? Don't you love me? I would love to live with you."

"Inu Yasha, I am fifteen years old, and I live in a different era. Besides, there would be too much temptation if we were alone all the time."

"But it isn't wrong. We love each other."

"No. I will not do this. We can just separate for a while. Nothing will change. Living with Sango and Miroku will keep us out of trouble."

"But Kagome, I want to be alone with you."

"We are alone. Look, we can't just abandon everyone. It's been great with all our little dramas, but it's time that we get back to the Shikon Jewel."

Inu Yasha looked at the girl longingly. But he knew she was right, so he let it go. He sat down and she sat down on his lap. A shooting star flew through the sky and they both secretly wished for the same thing. Kagome kicked her legs sideways and wrapped her arms around her handsome sweetheart. Inu Yasha captured her mischievous smile and leaned forward. He savored her warm lips and he refused to let go. Kagome didn't fight it; she had already melted into a pool of happiness.

"BASTARD!!!!"

A sharp pain broke the couple's bond. Kagome lay sprawled on the ground while Inu Yasha smashed into a nearby tree. The miko ran to the half- demon's aid but she felt herself being dragged backwards.

"Kagome!"

"Inu Yasha! Don't leave me!"

Kagome watched as a great shadow walked towards Inu Yasha. Before she could see who it was, everything went dark and all that she could feel was damp fur all around her.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

"You will never take my Kagome away from me. Never!"

Koga lunged at Inu Yasha quickly and a sharp pain flooded throughout his body. The Tetsusaiga throbbed against his waist and his vision was lost. A surge of energy swelled into his legs and Koga watched in horror as his attacks were eluded. Inu Yasha's claws lengthened and he could feel his rage exploding within. But unlike the rest of his transformations, he had the Tetsusaiga by his side. He reached down and pulled the giant blade out of its hilt.

"Fine, Bring out your dumb sword. Nothing could defeat me at this point. Never again shall you lay a hand on my woman. The mercy ends here."
