Chapter 2

"What? Your woman?"

"Yeah mutt. What did you do to her!" Kouga jumped form the near by tree after Inuyasha.

"I didn't do anything you dumb wolf!" Inuyasha dodged the attack and kicked off the wolf's head as he drew Tetsusaiga.

"Coward! Get back here!" Kouga jumped up after Inuyasha only to get clawed in the face with Iron Reaver. They both landed with the unconcious Kagome behind Inuyasha.

"Leave now Kouga or I will be forced to actually fight you!" Inuyasha barked at the man who opposed him. Inuyasha put the Tetsusaiga away and postioned himself to a fight and defend stance. "Bring it on!" Inuyasha dove at Kouga and they met half-way.

"Leave my woman alone!"

"SHE'S NOT YOURS!" Inuyasha used Blade of Blood and knocked Kouga backwards. Kouga landed right beside Kagome as she became conscious.

"Ahh! Kouga!" Kagome screeched and hopped up with her bow and arrow ready. "Leave me alone Kouga I'm not your property!"

"But Kag-"

"LEAVE!" Kagome pulled her aroow tightly and pointed it to the dogs leg. "Leave Kouga, or I'll rip that jewel shard form your leg." Kagome pulled tighter showing she meant it and Kouga knew not to stick around

"Fine." He jumped up and sped off in the other direction.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha sat up from when Kouga kicked him before he used Blades of Blood.

"Are you okay Inuyasha?"

"Oh, don't worry Kagome he will be."

"Huh?" Kagome looked behind her to see Sesshomaru. She spun around and drew another arrow in the same moment.

"Don't make me laugh human." Sesshomaru smirked and walked towards Kagome.

"Stay back Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha jumped up and laid his hand on Tetsusaiga. He knew his brother was sfter the sword and if he had to kill Kagome to get it he would.

"Inuyasha, you misunderstood. I said you'd be fine I never said anythin about her." Sesshomaru sped off towards Kagome and swiped his claws on her shoulder as she tried to dodge his attack. He turned around and pulled out the Wip of Light he was trying to hit Kagome but she prtoected herself with her bow.

"Inuyasha! Ouch!" The wip hit her bare thigh and broke the skin. "Help me!" She was now struggling to protect herself as she was getting tired form using to much strength to told her bow steady. "Get away!"

"Sesshomaru..." Inuyasha was pissed and you better believe that Sesshomaru knew. Inuyasha transformed right before his eyes and he slowly walked towards his brother. "I'm gonna rip you limb from limb!" Inuyasha jumped up in the air and aimed right for his right arm. Sesshomaru slashed Inuyasha's chest with his wip and the Tensaiga transported him to a safe place. "Coward." Inuyasha still demon looked to Kagome forget every trace of self control.

"Kagome look out!" Sango came running out to her and she grabbed Kagome and pulled her away. "He's dangerous like this you know." Sango pulled Kagome over to where Miroku stood and pulled out her boomerang.

"No! Sango!" Kagome finally worked free of her grasp. "I can stop him." Kagome got up and ran back towards Inuyasha.

"Kagome!" Sango started running to Kagome. She dropped her bommerang to grab her but was coutered with an arrow in her face.

"Stay back Sango..." Kagome had and arrow pulled aimed at Sango as a warning. "I can change him back." Kagome knew Sango wouldn't move so she started back to Inuyasha. She put her arrow away and slowly walked over to him. "Inuyasha?"

"Stay away!" Inuyasha barked at her but she kept coming towards him. A little voice in the back of his head kept telling him not to hurt her.

"Inuyasha! Sit!' Inuyasha was slammed into the ground and laid there for a minute.

"Ow, what the hell did you do that for?" Inuyasha snapped as he peeled his body off the ground.

"You turned demon again and I had to bring you out of it." Kagome knelt down in front of him.

"Well, do you have to "Sit" me? Geez! You know what lets get back to our conversation. Why don't you go back to your own time!" Inuyasha shouted and Stood up and dusted himself off.

"What? But I just..." Kagome was struck with shock and her eyes began to sting with tears. "You know what? FINE!" Kagome turned on her heel and started walking off cursing him under her breath. "I just saved him and this is how he repays me! Fine!" Kagome stormed away and as she heard Miroku running after her she ran but she couldn't out run him for long. She got to the edge of the well and before seh jumped in Miroku grabbed her arms.

"Kagome. Please don't leave us here with a bitter thought. The last time you did you didn't return for weeks." Miroku spun her around and saw her crying. He hating see her cry and hugged her trying to comfort her. To his surprise she wrapped her arms around him and she sobbed hysterically into his chest.

"Miroku, I'm sorry. Maybe I should have never came here. You guys would be better off. Inuyasha would be better off. Then he could love Kikyo and go to hell with her. " Kagome kept mumbling things but Miroku didn't listen he knew she would be saying how she didn't belong here and that we would be better off without her. But without her we wouldn't have gotten this far.

"Kagome.." Miroku lifted her chin and looked directly at her. "Without you we would not have gotten this close to destroying Naraku. Without you we wouldn't have so many jewel shards. YOu are important to all of us, even if Inuyasha doesn't admit it."

"Without me the Shikon Jewel wouldn't be shattered!" She knew she yelled but didn't mean to. It wasn't Miroku's fault that Inuyasha loved a dead miko and not me.

"Kagome! If only you knew! Miroku pushed her back from him and he saw that she was confused. "Inuyasha is crazy over you Kagome! He waited on end right next to the well until he knows you're here and then he hides in the woods and takes off to Keade's. He doesn't do anything but mope around and sleep unitl you get back. Oh and when you don't come back he gets to anxious and goes back to get you! He doesn't want the Jewel for himself anymore! He wants it for you!" Miroku yelled the last sentence and it took her a minute to register what he just said. He said inyasha was crazy over her. She looked at the man that just told her that the love of her life loved her back.

"Oh no.. I'm so sorry Miroku." Kagome leaned up and kissed his cheek in thanks and ran off toward Inuyasha. Him and Sango were standing there talking and he looked hurt. "Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed and waved her hand in the air. Too bad that not only Inuyasha seen the wave. Out of nowhere Sesshomaru jumped out of the bushes and grabbed Kagome by the waist and jumped into the tree tops and as quickly as he showed up he was gone. "Ahh! get off of me!"

"Kagome!" Inuyasha, Sango, Kilala, and Miroku ran off toward the direction Sesshomaru lept off and Sango jumped on Kilala. "Inuyasha I'll search over head." Sango silently made her way out of the trees and saw a red mist carying two bodies. It was Sesshomaru. "Hey guys!" Sango sank down below the tree tops and grebbed Miroku and Inuyasha and they both hopped on Kilala. "Sesshomaru has her on his red mist."

"Get Off!" Kagome kicked and punched and tried to wiggle from his grasp but it was no use.

"Kagome! Hold on!" it was a faint scream but she heard it. She turned a little to see Inuyasha and Miroku getting ready to jump on the red mist. as Inuyasha landed Miroku jumped in front and then sped towards Kagome Sesshomaru turned around.

"Just as I planned." Sesshomaru smirked and threw Kagome over the edge of the mist and grabbed Miroku's Prayer beads.

"Ahh!' Miroku tightly shut his hand and jumped over after Kagome. "Hold on Kagaome! Sango!" Sango turned and noticed Miroku falling and Kagome holding onto his left side. Kilala got there right before they hit the trees and when Miroku and Kagome landed they were greeted.

"Monk? Kagome..."
