Chapter 4
"Miroku...?"
"Yes?"
"I don't want to be with you. I just want to be your friend..."
"Wha?"
"Miroku I'm sorry but..."
"Sango,..."
"No please you're making this harder on me."
"But..."
"I must go now good bye Miroku..."
"No!" Miroku snapped out of his nightmare in a cold sweat. His chest was heaving and he couldn't regain his breath. He frantically looked around for Sango and found her cuddling in between an oddly placed Inuyasha and a big curly Kilala. Was Sango leaving him for Inuyasha. No that couldn't be right, but... Miroku went to stand as he felt something on him. It wasn't anyone it was a set of eyes. He turned as the bushes shook and a black figure hid behind another tree. He ripped of part of his robe and tied it around his hand in hopes it would be seeled for the night and now he was ready to rip it back off. He quietly made his way to the bushes as the figure ran from his sight back into the woods. What was that? Miroku turned around and noticed that Kagome wasn't under covers and was shivering again. He moved back to her and covered her up.
"Kagome?"
"Yes Inuyasha?"
"Well since we finished the jewel shards I was wonderin if you were gonna stay?"
"Well, yes I guess I could keep coming back. But Inuyasha there is something you should know."
"What is it?"
"I think it is best if you go off with Kikyo. I mean there is nothing for you here. My heart belongs to another."
"What?"
"I'm sorry, but he awaits me."
"Kagome!" Inuyasha popped his eyes opened and noticed Sango was curled into his side. He slightly wiggled away and laid still watching Kagome. He looked around to see Miroku walk back to her and cover her up with his robes. Was Miroku trying to steal her from him. Inuyasha growled deep in his throat and rolled over to see Kilala staring at him. No Miroku wouldn't he has Sango. Inuyasha looked once more at Kilala and then nodded off back to sleep.
The sun broke the horizon and shot rays off light right into Inuyasha's eyelids. He slowly waked and rolled away from the sun to see that everyone else was still sleeping. He sat up and looked around and then stood up and walked to the village to get water to put the fire out. He looked at Kagome once more before he left. He started on his way to the village when he heard something walking beside him but hidden from him by trees. "Who's there?"
"Inuyasha..." Kikyo walked out of hiding and walked next to the hanyou. "You look troubled is something wrong?"
"Kikyo? What do you want?" Inuyasha kept walking and Kikyo followed. Man she was annoying.
"Oh Inuyasha, are you sure it was a good idea leaving Kagome alone with that Monk?"
"Wha?" Inuyasha turned and looked at the dead priestess that followed him. "Of course, I trust Miroku and I would trust him with my life. After all he owes me that much." Inuyasha turned around again and kept walking.
"Inuyasha...how little you see but yet you have the extra censory of a dog. Do you think that Miroku just wants Sango? Truly?"
"Yes Kikyo I do, now leave me Alone!" Inuyasha jumped away from her and landed on Keade's hut. He jumped down to meet Shippo off playing with the village children.
"Hi Inuyasha. Where's Kagome?" Shippo looked around and noticed that he was the only one there.
"Still sleeping. We had an eventful night." Inuyasha picked up a pale and filled it with water. "We'll be back in an hour or so Shippo." Inuyasha walked away carrying the water pale and looked in it's refection. "What the?" He was pale and his eyes looked blank. "I must be more tired than I thought." He looked back up and kept walking. He kept hearing Kikyo in his head.
He was thinking about it when he walked over the hill to see Kagome in Miroku's arms.
Kagome awoke to hear walking and noticed it was Inuyasha. He was walking away probaly to go find Kikyo or water for the fire either way he wasn't worried about her. She got up and accidentally kicked Miroku.
"Uh... Oh Kagome it was you." Miroku stood up and walked to the fire. He put his hands up and he noticed that Kagome was staring at him.
"Miroku what's wrong? You look horrible." Kagome started walking over to him as an arrow shot at her foot. "Ahh!" she stumbled into Miroku and he grabbed her before she fell into the fire. Kagome looked up to see who it was and at that moment she heard something drop and feet moving away. "Huh?" Kagome jogged over the hill side to see Inuyasha nounding away towards the village. "Inuyasha!" Kagome started running after him.
"What the?" Inuyasha dropped the pale in surprise at what he had seen and he couldn't do anything but flee. He turned on his heal and bound off towards the village. He heard Kagome calling him and then he heardher running. Was Kikyo right? Inuyasha jumped down and looked to see Kagome still running after him. He bound into the woods on the other side of the village. She was still calling for him. Inuyasha turned around aware she was exhausted and he at least should give her a chance to tell her side. Who knows maybe she fell and Miroku caught her before she hit the fire. Inuyasha waited as he saw Kagome catching up. He heard something cut the air and saw and arrow fly infront of Kagome who happened to trip n it and fall onto a rock.
"Ouch." Kagome struggled up as she saw Inuyasha coming towards her."Inuyasha? Why were you running from me?" Kagome stood up slowly only to fall into a tree. She leaned on it and put her wieght on her back.
"Kagome.." Inuyasha got there and tried to help her on his back when he heard something else cut the air but he was too slow and another arrow struck Kagome in the same shoulder. "Kikyo! I know this is you. now STOP!" Inuyasha turned around and blocked Kagomed from any chance of Kikyo trying to shoot her agian.
"Inuyasha..." Kikyo jumped down from the tree branches and landed right in front of him. I'm not doing this to kill her. I'm doing it to kill you!" Kikyo drew her arrow and pointed it at Inuyasha's heart.
"No Kikyo! I'll give you my soul if you don't take Inuyasha's heart!"
