Ok so here is numbah 3!

Inuyasha leisurely licked the blood from his claws. The carcass of his meal lay before him. 'I haven't had such a filling meal in far too long.' he thought. He stood checking his surroundings for seconds to no avail. He sniffed halfheartedly, his nose crinkled. He could still smell it, that metallic tang of human blood, but this was a much sweeter scent. This smell was of Kagome.

The smell was faint, but infuriatingly arousing, and since she was following him, so was the smell. It taunted him as it swirled about him on the breeze. With a growl Inuyasha slashed down a tree. That damned girl, did she want to die? He cursed himself too, because a small part of him was glad that she and the others were following.

The evening was slowly creeping in to replace the hot day, Inuyasha frowned, nighttime meant the others would rest and be vulnerable to him and any other demon who decided to attack. Flexing his claws he smirked and started off in their direction.

Inuyasha had been following the Kagome's scent for a few hours when he finally saw the faint yellow glow of a fire. He jumped into a tree to look down upon the scene. Shippo and Kirara were snuggled together by the fire, Sango was not far off and Miroku was only a few feet from Sango, Inuyasha figured he was probably on guard duty. He looked closer at Miroku, 'heh, like I thought' Miroku was asleep.

Finally Inuyasha's eyes came to rest on Kagome. She was the farthest away from the fire. Inuyasha jumped quietly down from the tree. He silently padded his way over to Kagome and knelt beside her.

Two thoughts crossed Inuyasha's mind, the first was how easily he could slit her throat right now, the second was how much he wanted to take and ravage her. He fingered a piece of her soft ebony hair, his red eyes flashing with desire. 'Kagome' he thought, his eyes flashing amber. He dropped the lock of hair and sighed with boredom. He rose to his feet and began to walk away.

"Inuyasha" he heard Kagome gasp softly, he turned to look at her; she was still asleep. "C-come back," she wimpered "I love you."

A pain ran through Inuyasha's heart 'she loves...' he stood there just staring at the sleeping girl.

Kagome slowly opened her eyes to see a demon staring down at her in the dark. "Inuyasha?" she said in a sleep heavy voice not much louder than a whisper. Inuyasha smirked and let himself melt back into the shadows. Kagome blinked, he was gone. 'just a dream' she thought sadly and closed her eyes once more.
