Long time, No Arch!

Chapter 3: Love lingers but so does Evil.

"I'm Sango."

"I'm Shippou!"

"Nice to meet you both." Rei smiled brightly at the Exterminer and the little Fox demon.

"I'm Rei."

"Yeah and this is InuYasha, Miroku and remember I'm Kagome. But I think you knew that." Kagome smiled.

"Feh. I'm going to the lake." InuYasha jumped from under the tree they were all sitting and jumped from tree to tree, and out of sight.

"Whats his problem?" Rei asked.

"Oh that's just InuYasha." Miroku said.

"Yeah he is always a jerk." Shippou followed.

"No he isn't. well he is. but that's just. InuYasha he shows he cares for you in a different way. werid but. at least he cares." Sango said.

"Yeah." Kagome sighed.

"Maybe he has his resons. Maybe he had a bad child hood." Rei answered.

"Yeah your right." Miroku said, "I think he DID have a bad Childhood but no one can change it now. InuYasha is what he is.."

?????????????????????

How can this be. She is just like Kagome and Kikyo.

. No this all must be a dream InuYasha. Wake up.

Though. She is nothing like Kagome and Kikyo.

They are all different.

Hmmm. Kagome.

InuYasha had fell alseep, his arms crossed behind his head, laying beside the lake.

"InuYasha?"

"Hmm? Kagome?"

InuYasha opened a eye to see Kagome leaning over him, a bit too close to him.

"Kagome back up!" He moved away with a snicker. "You don't have to get so close. Jeez."

"Ugh. InuYasha I just wanted to make sure that you were okay, because you've been gone for hours." Kagome said a mix of anger and sadness in her face.

"Well I don't need anyone to come look for me everytime I decided to go to the lake." InuYasha said hotly.

"Fine! I hope Naraku and Shesshomaru find you, Because I wont be here to help you!" Kagome yelled standing up, getting off her knees.

InuYasha looked up at her. "Yeah and where do you think your going?"

"Home!" She ran off.

"Ugh! Kagome wait!" InuYasha jumped after her.

"Huh? Kagome!" Kagome had grabbed Rei by the arm and dragged her away. "Where are you taking me?"

"We're going back home!"

"Why?! We can go back any time! Why are you in a rush!"

"I can't stand to see InuYasha again!"

"What was all that about?" Miroku asked Sango.

"I'm guessing InuYasha ticked her off."

"Yeah but I don't remember her ever being so mad and going home." "Miroku! Sango! Shippou! Where's Kagome?"

"Shes heading for the well, Whats going on-"

Sango stopped, because InuYasha had already jumped up for the well.

Kagome had reached the well with Rei.

"Come on Rei." Kagome jumped over the side into the well.

"Huh!?"

InuYasha had grabbed Kagome's arm.

"Please Kagome. I am really sorry."

"Then do me a favor and let me go!"

"Please Kagome.!"

Kagome blushed deeply as she looked up into the eyes of InuYasha. For once they were not filled with anger..

InuYasha had noticed her staring into his eyes, and that her cheeks were now a rosey color. He loved it when she blushed. mostly when she blushed because of him.

He blushed deeply waiting for her reply.

".F-Fine." Kagome looked away, now her face was almost red as a cherry.

InuYasha pulled her up by the arm before taking her waist and pulling her out.

Which he figured out that wasn't such a good Idea..

The two were blushing deeply, as they were in a hugging position a bit TOO close.

They both pulled away, turning backs on each other, still blushing. When they just noticed Rei had been watching the whole thing and giggling softly about it.

Kagome looked up at her and blushed. "S-Sorry, guess we wont being going home today."

"It's not a problem." Rei smiled, still wondering what Luna and the others were thinking. "Well I guess we can go back with the others, I supose."

"Right." Kagome and InuYasha said still avoiding each other's eyes.

Rei giggled, as they walked back towards Camp.

She couldn't help but giggle at the way InuYasha and Kagome would glance at each others every few mintues and blush.

It's so sweet.Rei thought.

When they reached Camp, Sango, Shippou and Miroku looked at them all like they were crazy, mostly InuYasha and Kagome.

InuYasha and Kagome sat on Oppisate sides of the group. Which the rest all took note of and exchanged grinning looks.

Rei leaned over Sango's ear and InuYasha and Kagome glared at the two.

"Isn't it soo cute how they are acting? I wish I had my Camera." Rei giggled as she whispered in Sango's ear.

Sango giggled then sweatdropped and whispered, "Whats a Camera?"

Rei sweatdropped.

InuYasha glanced at Kagome slightly blushing and slightly with a sadish look on his face, obviously wanting to be with her at the moment.

Kagome's eyes met InuYasha's and they both blushed and looked away, smiling slightly.

Sango and Rei giggled at this.

Shippou kept muttering, "I don't get it." Scratching his head.

And Miroku shook his head grinning.

Miroku crawled over near InuYasha, and InuYasha threw him a dirty look, "What?"

Miroku grinned, "InuYasha your gonna get it on tonight aren't you?"

"WHAT!?"

Everyone looked at InuYasha.

"With Kagome.." Miroku continued grinning.

InuYasha's lip started tremmbling from being so mad and balled up his fists. "HELL NO! MIROKU! I SHOULD KILL YOU!"

Rei and Sango giggled, inching away from Miroku and InuYasha sweatdropping.

While Shippou was sitting on Kagome's lap, Both of them blinking at the two dumbly.

"I was kidding InuYasha! Honest!" Miroku sweatdropped, laughing nervously and inched away from him.

"Yeah sure." InuYasha snarled. "But next time, if you ever say something like that again I swear I will kill you, You Perverted Monk!" InuYasha had his grip good on Miroku's collar, growling.

"OK, OK." Miroku laughed nervously.

Kagome blushed deeply when InuYasha looked at her and let go of Miroku's collar.

He blushed slightly and moved over beside her.

Shippou wondered what InuYasha was doing, "Um, InuYasha?"

"What?"

"Kagome's holding me right now, so yeah." Shippou smiled nervously.

InuYasha growled. "That's Okay Shippou, I don't want Kagome to hold me."

"Then what do you want her to do?"

Everyone sweatdropped, but Kagome and Shippou. InuYasha started to laugh nervously, "Just d-"

Miroku, Sango and Rei shot Inu a dirty look.

"Just to be friends." InuYasha looked away still sweatdropping.

"Really InuYasha?"

"Hmm?" InuYasha turned to Kagome, still coming close to look like a cherry.

Kagome was blushing slightly, "Do you see me as a friend?"

"Of course Kagome. and-" "And.?"

Shippou's right eye twitched and InuYasha hit him hard in the head and he fell over. X.x ( (Shippou)

"And.. A Shard detector." InuYasha laughed nervously, knowing that wasn't even CLOSE to what he wanted to say.

Kagome sweatdropped, like the others.

"A shard detector? Ooh I feel sooo special InuYasha thank you."

"Yeah well what do you feel for me.?"

"Uh." Kagome blushed.

Should I say it? I can't. its too embarrassing.

They all noticed her blushing like a cherry.

"A friend of course. and."

"And.?" InuYasha got his hope built up, his dog ears standing straight up waiting for those words he wanted to her, "More" Or "Maybe More."

"And." Kagome smiled at InuYasha and leaned over, petting his dog ears and they tweaked. "A dumb cute mutt." She smiled brightly.

InuYasha's right eye was now twitching, and he sweatdropped. "I am not a dumb mutt."

"Not cute either." Miroku followed.

InuYasha growled and Miroku waved his hand in a way for sorry Sorry!

InuYasha couldn't take it. Kagome was leaning over him playing with his ears. her sent was driving him nuts.

He couldn't help but close his eyes and sniff in her sent deeply.

Kagome noticed this and blushed moving away.

So did the rest, and Sango and Rei giggled and Shippou just twitched while Miroku grinned.

InuYasha thought it over. and stood up, "Kagome follow me." He said blushing slightly but looking into the forest trying not to be seen and saying it in a deep voice. "Um.Okay." Kagome blinked and stood up following InuYasha into the forest once he moved.

Rei and Sango giggled harder.

Miroku grinned, Yep, hes gonna get it on tonight!

Shippou sweared under his breath, "I had Kagome first, she was holding me and now InuYasha stole her and." He went on and on pouting.

Sango noticed and giggled, petting behind his ear, "You'll understand when your older."

Shippou sweatdropped and gave her the, "Don't tell me that crap." Look.

?????????????????????

InuYasha reached a clear field only with high grass and sat down close to the edge of the forest but out of view, and Kagome followed, sitting infront of him blinking.

InuYasha stared at her blushing.

Kagome blushed, "What?"

He didn't answer..

"What!?"

He still didn't answer.

"INUYASHA!" She rose her hand to hit him in the head, but he grabbed her hand, making sure not to hurt her.

She blinked looking at her hand, and blushed. "Huh?"

"K-Kagome."

"I-I-InuYasha?!?"

"K..Kagome. I."

"InuYasha." Kagome looked away, "I know your feelings for me are not real, you only show them towards me because I look like Kik-"

InuYasha lifted her chin, turning her head back to him.

She started to breathe a bit heaiver.

"No. Kagome. I only want you.. I."

"INUYASHA!? KAGOME!?" Came Miroku's voice.

"Damnit." InuYasha growled letting go of Kagome's hand and chin. "Can't I get any time alone with Kagome?" He muttered.

Kagome blushed hearing his words.

Miroku came up beside them, panting. "We have to go!"

"WHY!?" InuYasha growled.

"Because Sesshomaru is here!"

"Hmm. I've see you've warned them monk." Came Sesshomaru's calm voice. They all looked up above them. It was Sesshomaru alright. With Jaken by his side, floating in the air.

InuYasha snickered standing up, spreading out his arms infront of Kagome who was now standing. "What do you want!?"

"Hmph. What do you think? I've returned for MY Sword, Tetsagai." Sesshomaru smirked slightly.

"This sword is Mine you, Idiot!" InuYasha growled.

"Well. not for long brother."

Sesshomaru had moved so quickly, almost a blur and moved behind Kagome, grabbing her by the neck, putting his poisnous (sp? X.x) Claw to her throat.

Kagome made no movement or sound but closed her eyes as if praying.

InuYasha drew his sword, now facing them.

"Let her go, She has nothing to do with this!"

I can't use my wind tunnel with him holding Kagome. it's Immpossible.Miroku thought.

Sesshomaru grinned, "I know your feelings for her InuYasha. I watched."

"How dare you, you Bastard!"

"I-Inu.Yasha." Kagome said almost in a chokeing voice.

Sesshomaru grinned, "Give me the Tetsagai and I will hand over your Human without harming her."

"N-No." Kagome's soft voice came. She knew how important that sword was to InuYasha.

God. What am I going to do.? InuYasha thought.

InuYasha said nothing but growled.

Sesshomaru could see he was in great thought, "Look, Brother. I'll make you a deal. I'll keep the girl till you decided.. I'll be at my castle. Come Jaken."

Sesshomaru was gone within moments of blur.

"NO! KAGOME!"

InuYasha launched his sword at Jaken who was a bit slow and yelling, "Wait for me my lord!! AHHHH!!" He vanished before the sword hit him.

InuYasha was on his knees the Tetsagia beside him, growling. "..I will kill him. How dare he take Kagome away from me.."

He will Pay.

Next time on.. Long time, no arch!

"Kagome here! I'm Kidnapped! By Sesshomaru! Whats going on.? Hes saying all these freaky things to me. I'm totally Creeped out! I know Sesshomaru now wants me to detect the Shards for him and Naraku!
