Well I didn't know That would happen!

Ohiyo guys! I'm updating a lil' late, but I have reason... I got some really good ideas for this chapter, but I cant member what they are!!! And I'll go to write them down, and then I'd get distracted and I'd forget!! It's like the gods didn't want this chapter to post! But I got through, so here's the next chapter!! along with some review comments!

Thoughts

"speaking"

flashback

(my own dumb comments)

last time

"Yes Sango, I saw this and thought, this looks like a peaceful place. It will do for Sango's quick bandaging..." Miroku quickly realized his mistake as the look on Sango's face went from pleasant to extremely shocked and angry.

"Wait, WHAT?! YOU bandaged me??? I thought Kagome bandaged me?!! YO PERVERT!!!" Shouted a very pissed off Sango and then she proceeded to beat the crap out of our 'poor' monk.

Just as she finished with Miroku's sound beating, a tornado appeared and called, "Hey You! Your Kagome's friends right?! Where is she?!"

"Koga?!" Sango and a now fully conscious Miroku said with surprise.

This time
"Why are you here Koga, I thought Kagome told you she loved Inuyasha?" asked Miroku trying to think through the hazy I-just-got-hit-by-Sango mist surrounding his brain.

"Well, I just wanted to see if she's changed her mind and to tell her and Inukurro that there was a dead lady that smell kinda like Kagome a few days north of here..." replied Koga casually, not noticing the effect his words had on the group.

Oh no! He must mean Kikyo, and with Kagome and Inuyasha in their current state, she can't butt in! Thought Sango, not realizing Miroku was having the same thoughts as she.

Inuyasha is finally confessing his true feelings to Kagome and Kikyo's appearance would surely ruin that. Not to mention, the longer Kagome and Inuyasha are alone together, the more time I get to spend with the lovely Sango... Miroku's thoughts went continually downhill from this point, so we will just move on...

"uh, Koga, thank you for telling us, we can handle it from here and when Kagome and Inuyasha get back we'll tell them about it! Have a nice day!" rushed Sango, trying to get him to leave before Kagome and Inuyasha got back.

She was planning on just ignoring it until Inuyasha and Kagome's relationship was more solid or Kikyo decided she would come herself. There was no way she was going to ruin the moment for those two, and if she could just get Koga to leave, she would be home free!

No Such Luck.

With Inu-chan and Kag-chan

Huff, huff. Kami, she's faster than me! Thought Inuyasha as he chased Kagome around a corner. She was fast enough that he had lost sight of her, and when they reached camp, he didn't realize she had stop and smacked right into her.

So that is how they appeared to everyone else. Kagome staring at Koga, who had turned to take in the new arrivals, and then falling over as Inuyasha slammed into her and knocked her over.

"hello my dear Kagome, how have you been?" Asked Koga, slightly miffed that 'mutt-face' was 'on-top-of' 'his' Kagome.

Inuyasha immediately jumped up off Kagome to stand in front of her growling at Koga.

"Inuyasha..." said Kagome as she pulled herself halfway off the ground, then found herself swept off her feet and up into the arms of the strong hanyou she loved.

"Hello Koga-kun, I am fine thank you, but why are you here?" asked Kagome from the protective circle of Inuyasha's arms as he held her.

Sango and Miroku both flinched with that question and Kagome turned to look at them but turned back to Koga as he said in a confident voice, "Well, I just came to see if you had given up on Inukurro here."

"Why You-!" started Inuyasha, but Kagome interrupted him as she said icily to Koga,

"Koga, I appreciate you commitment, but I am only interested in Inuyasha's affections and I suggest you stop trying to get me. I like you Koga, but only as a friend, and right now, you're pushing it."

Proud of his woman, Inuyasha let her down and she stomped off towards Sango and Miroku, who were giving Koga strange looks, wondering why he hadn't told Inuyasha the rest of why he was there.

Kagome stopped in her tracks when she heard what Koga said, and immediately turned to look at Inuyasha who had gone white in the face when he heard,

"Well, the other reason I'm here is because some dead woman that smells like Kagome is wandering around about two days to the north..." He trailed off though, at the looks on everyone's faces.

Inuyasha looked like he just had the shock of his life and wasn't even close to over it, while Kagome looked like it could most likely be the apocalypse or something equally pleasant.

Sango and Miroku looked like they knew he shouldn't have said that and were about to beat him to death. Which he didn't like one bit. So like the 'smart' guy he was, he decided to ask,

"Is there something wrong?"

and with that, pandemonium broke lose. Kagome fell over and just sat there as Sango rushed over to her side.

Miroku took one look at Inuyasha and poked Sango in the shoulder so she would notice what he had seen.

Inuyasha had the saddest look on his face in the world as he walked up to Kagome. He knew what he had to do but he also knew it would hurt his love possibly more than she could bear. So he had to make her understand.

"Kagome... You know I have to go... I just want to end things with her. I'll be back I promise!" He whispered to her as he held her close to him.

She clutched at his shirt (sorry, I can't remember what it's called! Hakima or something like that... anybody know?) and cried, "I know, but I don't want you to leave me!"

suddently, Inuyasha had a wonderful idea that would solve both of their problems, since he really didnt want to leave Kagome alone again.

"Well if it makes you feel better Kagome, you can come with me. I don't mind, and it will help me do what I must do."

Slightly wondering what he meant by 'what he must do', she nodded her head, telling him she wanted to come.

"So pack your stuff, but not to much I still end up carrying it remember?" he said jokingly, hoping to lighten the mood.

She giggled and walked over to her bag and stuffed some food and cloths for herself and Inuyasha and left some for Sango and Miroku while they were gone.

"Bye minna, we'll be back in a few days!" Said Kagome in better spirits than she had been a little bit ago.

She knew Inuyasha loved her, and just wanted to finally end things with Kikyo. And she respected that. Really, she didn't want to go, but she was terrified Kikyo would pull some sort of trick to bring him down to hell with her, and Kagome wouldn't have it.

So she and Inuyasha took off with her backpack on her back, and her on his back. Koga left with them to show them where he had last seen the woman made of dirt and bones.

As the three of them dissapeared into the distance, Miroku and Sango wondered what Inuyasha was planning on doing once he reached his former love. They just hoped it wouldn't end like most of their encounters with Kikyo.

Ok, I'm sorry all you Kikyo lovers, but I don't like her that much and I think she just needs to die and Stay dead. She causes so much pain and I cant have that in my story! I'm not saying she's an awful person, cause I knew she was a wonderful person when she was alive, but she is consumed by hatred now and I just can't stand her! So I think if you're a hard core Kikyo fan, you might wanna just skip the next chapter........ hehe thanks. Also, I just wanted to say thanks for sticking with me through my HORRIBLE case of writers block. I'm having real problem's here and my chapters might be a little slow. But you'll know when it picks up I promise!!
