The Quest For Love

Chapter 1

Disclaimer- Sadly, I do not own InuYasha. I am, however, going to marry him.and all my bishies! 3! Hehe, I'll find a way to do that, somehow.

Aletta: Hay Guys! I'm kinda new at this, so.R&R!!!!! If you're gonna flame, please make it constructive flaming, kay? Pretty please, for me?! Anywho, On with the story! Oh, yea, all thoughts will be italicized. Kay?

InuYasha woke up with excitement stirring inside him. Another shard of the Shikon no Tama was close, he could feel it. Kagome stirred in her sleep, causing InuYasha to cast his wistful gaze upon her. She looks so beautiful laying there, he thought. Dammnit... What the hell am I thinking?! I've never had feelings for Kagome!!!! It was true. He had always loved Kikyo. Somehow during their quest for the Sacred Jewel of Four Souls, his feelings had gotten all messed up. He loved everything about her, her smile, her laugh, her eyes, everything!!! What is causing these feelings?! He questioned himself. "Um.. Morning InuYasha, is there something you want?" asked a voice. He recognized that voice and blushed, realizing that he had never stopped staring at her. "Huh? Oh, morning Kagome. Sorry, I was thinking about something." "Right.well, I think we should get going. Maybe we should wake up the others." "Okay, sure! I'll get Miroku and you get Sango." (A/N- There was no need to wake Shippo and Kelala, they were already awake.) InuYasha strolled over to Miroku's sleeping bag, where he found that Miroku was busy mumbling in his sleep. InuYasha could only hear little snippets of it. "O.O Does he always have dreams like that?!", and with that said he kicked the perverted monk in the ribs. (A/N- I think we can all guess what he was dreaming about. I mean, we're talking about Miroku here!) Kagome walked over to Sango's sleeping bag and gently shook her. "G'Morning Sunshine!" she said in her most cheerful voice. "Go away!" muttered the sleepy Sango in reply. "C'mon! We're leaving!" Kagome could hear screams of agony from the other side of their camp and knew instantly that InuYasha had successfully roused Miroku. InuYasha she thought with a smile. She had begun to love him since their hunt for the Shikon no Tama. As her feelings for him grew steadily stronger, she became more disappointed and depressed. For she knew that InuYasha loved Kikyo and she would always be second in his heart. Still, she couldn't help but wonder why his feelings weren't like hers. They spent all day, every day together. You'd think he would've started to at least like her! Why, InuYasha, why don't you feel the same way I do? Every time she was near him, her stomach flip-flopped and her heart beat faster. "I can sense another piece of the Shikon no Tama nearby," said InuYasha, addressing the whole group. "We should get going."
After a light breakfast, the group started out into the early morning light. InuYasha and Kagome lead the way through the tranquil forest, while Sango and Miroku walked behind them, engaged in a hushed conversation, which was sometimes interrupted by a loud SMACK and a shout of "PERVERT!" from Sango. Shippo rode on Kelala's back and brought up the rear. As pleasant as the day had started, it was about to get much worse.
It was dusk when InuYasha found the spot where the shard was. "Well InuYasha," said Kagome, "where the hell is the idiot with the...AHHHH!" As Kagome let out her ear shattering scream, Sango and Miroku turned around and let huge gasps escape from their mouths, dropping everything they had in the process. InuYasha had nothing to say, but let one menacing growl escape his lips. "YOU!!!!!" he roared. The form had turned around by now and calmly retorted, "Yes me, who else did you expect?"

Aletta: Well, I think that's a good place to stop. Hehe, I'm gonna keep ya in suspense until the next chappie! You'll just have to keep reading to find out who it is, won't ya?! MUAHAHA! I'm sooo evil. XD! I'll update soon, I promise! But you have to R&R in order for me to do that, kay?! Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease*~*Aletta*~*
