'The Things We Do'

"Chapter 7- "The search begins"

By: Kagome-chan

Beta Reader: Sango-chan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Kouga's Den~

"Kagome-sis?" The humanoid wolf, Ginta, looked at the cat he had been told NOT to eat because it was Kouga's 'women', Kagome.

"What!" Kagome snapped.

"Sis, is something wrong?" Ginta asked as he put some food and water down for Kagome.

"Yes!"

"Well what?" Ginta sat down in front of the kitten.

"Kouga-kun kidnapped me, AGAIN." Kagome ate some fish, her new catness really loved it!

"Sis you don't love Kouga do you?"

"Not like that, no." Kagome lapped up some water.

"You love Inuyasha then?" Kagome thought about that and was about to answer when..

"Dog-Turd!?!" Kouga bellowed from the mouth of the Den.

"Kouga, if she doesn't want to stay maybe you should let her back with Inuyasha, she loves him--"

"Shut-up!" Kouga growled at Ginta. Kagome sighed.

"I'm leaving okay?" She looked at the two fighting wolves.

"Don't tell me what to do!" Ginta yelled back.

"Don't yell at me! Oh, sure Kagome whatever." Kouga completely missed what Kagome had said, and continued fighting with Ginta. Kagome smirked 'perfect' she though, walking out of the mouth of the cave.

"If that little puppt thinks our fight is over just 'cuz I got kidnapped, I'll bite him good!" Kagome plotted Inuyasha's 'death' to herself while walking along the woods, back the way she had come. She didn't even notice when her shard started glowing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Back with Inuyasha~

"Inuyasha! Settle down, Kagome-sama has been taken by Kouga before, he won't hurt her." Miroku tried to calm the angry (little) dog.

"That's NOT it!" Inuyasha growled at Miroku.

"Okay then what?" Sango asked.

"Well.." Inuyasha blushed, they had been getting along so well right then.

"You dog Inuyasha! Seriously, you and Kagome-sama did that?" Miroku smiled pervertedly after Inuyasha had retold his afternoon with 'kitten'.

"Miroku, you make it sound like we did THAT, which we didn't! But now Kouga kidnapped her AGAIN and just what he said about him licking her.." Inuyasha whined like the puppy he was.

"Kagome-chan is gonna be fine, no doubt she is already on her way back." Sango lied trying to make Inuyasha happier.

"Probably!" Shippou bounced around the room. 'No one can stop me!' Shippou thought. 'I'm taller and bigger then Inuyasha now!' He continued hopping around.

"Whatever. Let's gone 'meet' her." Inuyasha walked away from his friends.

"Wait for us!" The rest of the group trudged after him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~To poor unfortunate Kagome~

"Kagome?" A voice said behind Kagome, sending shivers down her back.

"Please don't be..damn." Kagome turned around slowly hoping it wasn't..Konna..but it was.

"My Kagome, have you missed me?" Konna picked Kagome up her tails. "Getting frisky with that dog?" he cooed into her ears.

"Hmph! Don't call Inuyasha, 'that dog'!" Kagome hissed.

"Yes dear, but our time is short your dog is coming." Konna grinned, stressing 'dear' and 'your'. The leaves on a near by bush shifted and a 'Kagome!' was heard.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled back.

"Kagome-chan! Who.."

"..the.."

"HELL IS THAT!?" Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha gapped at the youkai holding their, wait no, INUYASHA's precious Kagome by her tails.

"Inuyasha..you do plan on like helping me." Kagome gave Inuyasha a very blank look.

"Well yeah, but who IS this??" Puppy Inuyasha sat down, obviously stating he wasn't budging till he knew.

"Konna..like whoelse seems to be in love with me yet nearly killed me?"

"Well Inuyasha tried to kill you and he loves you." Shippou piped up. In return he got a "shut up!!" from Inuyasha.

"My My My, Kagome dear, you didn't tell me your 'true love' was the hanyou I turned into a puppy. You really need to tell me these things, hun, or we can never have a good relationship together." Konna whispered into her ear. Kagome just looked away. 'This is happening to much.' She thought sulkly. "well, we can't fight now Inuyasha. And Hitomi i'll over look slipping up because you actually helped in the long run. Bye!" Konna tossed Kagome by her tails at Miroku who caught her on reflex.

"Kagome-sama, you okay?" Miroku placed her down on her four feet.

"Yes, I'm fine." Kagome looked at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha!" Kagome trotted over. "You came for me!" Kagome smiled in a cat like way.

"Uh, well don't I always?" Inuyasha asked, his blush covered by his fur.

"Yes Inuyasha, always."

*AHEM*

"Okay..so what should we do now?" Sango asked Hitomi.

"Well I guess we can go to Konna's territory." Hitomi looked for approval and recieved 3 nods, 2 mews, and a woof. "Good lets go."

"Um which way..?" Shippou asked innocently.

"Oh ya, that way!" Hitomi pointed to the right. And that being the logical thing to do, they set out to the right. Hitomi in the lead, followed by Kirara and Sango, and Miroku and Shippou. Inuyasha and Kagome were in the back, being well, not very much themselves.

Kagome was constantly flicking one of her tails at Inuyasha, making him growl. Then Kagome would say something to tease him like 'You got beat by a kitten, Puppy!' and then Inuyasha would growl again, trying to ignore her. "aww your so cute, if Kikyou was here I'm sure she would love you even more." Kagome purred jokingly.

"Shut-up."

"Make me."

"I will!" Inuyasha pounced on Kagome unexpectedly causig her to screech and everyone else to turn around..and stare..

The group had still been walking in the mountains and on a path, to one side of the path was a soild wall to the other a cliff that went at an almost straight drop with lots of trees, underbrush, rocks, and thorn bushes on it. When inu, Inuyasha jumped onto neko, Kagome he caused her to lose her blance eth him on her back, sending them both off the path and down the rocky and tree covered cliff. "Inuyasha!" Kagome yelped out in pain when she hit a tree which knocked her out.

"Inuyasha! Kagome-sama! Kagome-chan! Inuyasha, Kagome!" The rest of the group was yelling and trying to find a safe way down. Inuyasha tumbled head over heels; side over side, hitting rocks and thorn bushes along the way. The whole time he was trying to keep an eye on Kagome. After she hit that tree her body seemed to go still and she was hitting lots of things, maybe even more and harder then he was.

'Kagome, don't die from this.' Inuyasha thought as he saw the bottom of the cliff come near. It ended next to a very small stream with an even smaller waterfall. Kagome hit the ground first, sliding off the slope and flipping over a few times before stopping, perfectly still, a few feet from both the stream and cliff. Inuyasha rolled to a painful stop a second after her, landing a bit away from her.

"Kagome? You better not be dead." Inuyasha stumbled towards her, his eye sight blurring and his paws and body ached. But he wouldn't stop, he had to know if Kagome had lived. "Kagome?" He crawled up to her and breathed a sigh of relief. 'She's alive, thank God.' Inuyasha collapsed next to Kagome and rested his head down on her stomach to protect her, as he always would. He watched her for a moment and then passed out along with her. The distant screams of Sango, Miroku, Hitomi, and Shippou faded.

A/N: Well! I finally did it! I know it has been so long and im really sorry, but im gonna start on the next chapter right now since I have extra time, its 1:31 AM right now and Im cursing myself for being a bad author and not updating. I already have to chapter 10 written and this is chapter 7 being typed. Im writing up chapter 11 right now, but im having some trouble so I'll have to think harder hehe..

I really hope everyone likes this story, im trying really hard! I have a whole bunch of ideas for fics and I think some of them might be good, here they are tell me what you think in your reviews.

Story One: Kagome and Kikyou had always been friends, they did EVERYTHING together. Some people even swore they had to be twins seperated at birth. Nothing ever got in the way of their friendship, no way! That was intil new student, Inuyasha, came along. Will their friendship ever be the same?~Kag/Inu fic with possible Kik/Inu cuz of Inuyasha's stupidty in the beginning. San/Mir. AU-Highschool fic Probably rated PG-13.

Story Two: Marie had always loved the show Inuyasha. She had friends who loved it too, like Bethany, Kelly, Hannah, and Katie. They loved it so much they even nicknamed eachother with their favorite chars. Marie-Kagome, Bethany-Inuyasha, Kelly-Shippou, Hannah- Miroku, and Katie- Sango. Marie always wished she and her friends could be just like the real Inuyasha cast. Intil, it happened. AU-Weird weird story. Names changed but based on a dream I had. Kag/Inu, San/Mir. Probably rated PG-13.

Tell me what you think! I have other ideas but they aren't completly formed yet.

Enjoy this chapter and please please review so I know you guys are still behind me on this..PLLLLEASE!

Next Chapter~ Chapter 8- 'The Blue and Green Pixies' LOOK FORWARD TO IT!!!!
