Hey every one! Well here is the next chapter. Hope you like it.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha. If I did I would hog him and my friends would kill me.

Chapter 5: Parting of the Ways
Kagome climbed into the hot spring slowly. She sighed as the warm water surrounded her.

"Ah yes. Nothing like a nice hot bath after a hard day." she said. She looked around at her surroundings. It was such a peaceful place. The breeze blew gentlely across her face and made her all the more relaxed. This was the time she loved to think about things and she usually talked to herself but that didn't matter. No one was around. She glanced at her bathing suit. 'Just in case' she thought.

"So now I'm back here but now I have two strange boys trying to kidnapp me. Inuyasha is missing…." she said and trailed off.

"Where is he anyways? What would have happened if his shard detector was lost?" she said bitterly.

" Ah but sometimes he can be nice…..but not that often. I wonder what he really thinks."

"You know if you pick the petals of a daisy you'll get your answer." said a voice behind her. She nearly knocked her head on a rock. She flipped around.

Duo.

"What do YOU want?! You know its not nice walk in on a person while they are bathing!" Kagome yelled. He gave her a grin that infuriated her even more.

"What's so funny?!" she yelled.

"Well when you talk to yourself……" he trailed off. Kagome began to blush.

"Uh well…."

"No problem. Not like it matters or nothing." he said and grinned. Kagome wanted to change the subject quickly.

"Where is you friend?" she asked quickly. Judging by the look in his eyes he noticed how she really wanted to change the subject, and found it funny.

"I dunno. I was looking for him just now. Oh and by the way your bathing suit top is missing. Bye." he said and left quickly. Kagome looked behind her and saw her top floating around. For a while she was quiet. She reached over and grabbed her top letting everything sink in.

"Three….Two…..One and…." Duo counted down.

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" came a screach from a little farther away. Duo chuckled to himself.

"That was funny!" he said to himself. ' Hmmm she doesn't look half bad.' he thought to himself.' He walked a little farther until he came into a clearing.

"Hey Heero! Why did you leave?" he asked. Heero looked at him with his cold eyes.

"I was looking for that girl. We have to get home and complete our mission." he said. Duo laughed.

"Man you're a machine! Take a break. I mean, we are in the past." Duo said .

"I am trying to find her so we can go home. She apparently knows a way since she was the one who got us here in the first place. The others will be looking for us soon." he said.

"I kinda like it here. I don't really want to leave. That little fox dude is cool." he said. " Besides, I don't think I like this mission too much. Why do they want the girl anyways?" he asked darkly.

"They plan on using her to find a sacred jewel. It can give strength to those who have it. It also grants a wish. We can destroy the enemy." Heero responded. Duo looked at Heero like he was an ailen. (Which isn't hard to imagin either.)

"You've got to be kidding me! I've heard and seen some pretty strange stuff but really! I'm afraid I can't go any further with this. She could get hurt. Anyways I want to stay here." he said. Heero looked at him and pulled his gun. Duo looked at him with a little anger.

"This is where we part. You have gotten attached to the one you are supposed to kidnapp. From here on out, if you get in my way I will kill you." Heero said and turned around and left. Duo clenched his fist. He knew Heero was right. He shouldn't have made friends with the girl but she was so friendly and bright. He didn't meet people like that often. He loved it here in the past. He felt like he belonged here.

"Fine." Duo whispered. "This is where we part our ways Heero." He felt a little bad. He considered Heero a friend, but this time….. He didn't know what to do. He turned to go to the village.
*********************************************

Kagome hid a little further in her bush. She knew it was wrong to spy but she couldn't help it. When she heard shouting she followed it. She found Duo and Heero. She heard everything and felt very bad. They were friends and now they were against each other because of her. She heard Duo mumble something and walk towards her bush. She silently screamed. He got closer and walked past. She sighed as her walked past her, but then she had the urge to knock him out. Obviously the bathing suit incident wasn't forgotten.
