Well I'm happy; this is twice as many reviews for the first chapter then of any of my other stories. Do you think you could R&R 'Power Struggle' and 'I Love You'? That would make me really happy and inspired to update sooner. Ever wonder how rozefire does it? (It's just a theory). There's going to be some InuKag fluff in this.

Assassin

Chapter 2

If I Disappear

Dedication: to my wonderful piano teacher, who was always kind, and never forgot to give me a cookie.

Disclaimer: I own Inuyasha; one of my alter egos is Rumiko Takahashi. Some of the others are Avril Lavigne (I'm listening to her - I mean myself - right now), and that old lady from England with the cool house. What was her name, again? Oh... I think its Elizabeth something-or-other. In conclusion: DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Inuyasha felt the knife pressing into his throat "Stop," he gasped out "Don't. Kikyo."

The knife relaxed slightly. "Who are you?" the girl's voice was almost hysterical. "Why do you keep calling me Kikyo?"

"Because, bitch, you are Kikyo. You look exactly like her. Exactly like you did when you killed me."

"My name is kagome. Not Kikyo. And you don't look dead."

"Shut up wench! You are Kikyo. You smell just like her. Manipulated by that little brat Kaede."

"Little brat? Kaede's ancient!"

"What are you talking about? If she were old you'd be older. You are her older sister."

"No I'm not. My only brother died years ago and I don't have a sister. I'm not Kikyo, I'm KAGOME!"

"You are, aren't you?"

"Why did you suddenly realize it?" she expected an answer like 'no ears' or something, because Kikyo wouldn't be human, would she?

"Kikyo never yells. Damn bitch."

"Who? Me or her?"

"Both." He grunted.

"What did I do?"

He looked at her in disbelief, and she blushed realizing exactly what she had done. "You almost killed me, wench!"

"Sorry. Anyways we've um, had this talk so... I'll just go find another youkai to kill. Uh... bye."

I started to walk away, but he grabbed her wrist. "Just why are sneaking in here and trying to kill us?"

"You're monsters, that need to be eliminated."

For someone who had just been told he was a monster and needed to be eliminated he was surprisingly calm. "Who told you that?"

"Kaede."

"And how do you know that she's right?" He grabbed her face and pulled it down, so she was just a few millimeters from him. "Do I LOOK like a demon?"

She found it hard to answer because her face was so close to his, especially his lips, which, not that she CARED or anything, were really nice. Not to mention that his eyes were a really gorgeous shade of gold, which looked really attractive with his hair... "N-yes. You don't look human at least."

"I'm a hanyou."

There wasn't much she could think of to say to that, so she just replied "Oh."

"And I want to get out of here!" she must have looked really shocked, because he continued without waiting for an answer. "I heard my brother and another demon talking. They just want me here so that they can steal my sword."

"R-really?"

He smirked. "Keh, of course, wench. Now do you want me to come along with you or not?"

She let out a huff of air, angry. "My name is Kagome."

He grinned evilly at her. "Mine's Inuyasha. Now that we know each other, answer the question, Kagome."

"Before she had a chance to think about it, her mouth replied, "Yes."

"Yes what?"

"Yes, I want you to come."

"Good, wench, let's go." He sat up suddenly, completely forgetting that he was pulling her face down. Their lips were mashed together. She had the crazy impulse to start kissing him. Her mind was telling her to pull away, her body was telling her to kiss him. She did neither. She just sat there, her lips pressed against his. Then he started kissing her. That wasn't the only thing that happened though. His claws, digging into her skin seemed to be growing sharper. She didn't pay any attention to the drop of blood that popped out, because she was too busy kissing him back. Hesitantly, at first, then more and more passionately. It seemed impossible that she would ever stop...

"Inuyasha?!" It was a man's voice that seemed familiar to Kagome, although she couldn't place it. "Inuyasha!!" reluctantly she pulled away.

She didn't get a chance to look at the person who had (so rudely) interrupted her because she saw Inuyasha's face. Tiger stripes were glowing on his face and his eyes were blood red.

"Snap out of it Inuyasha," came the mans voice. Slowly the red drained from his eyes, and the stripes faded.

"I... uh... well... I- sorry."

"That's... okay."

"May I have the honor of your name?" She turned to look at him, and he grinned "Kagome-chan!" when he saw her look of confusion, he frowned. "Don't you remember me? Miroku?"

"Of course! How could I forget my favorite uncle?" she hugged him.

"What are you doing here?"

"Uh..." she couldn't very well say 'I came here to kill you'

"Sesshoumaru and Kouga just have us here so they can get the fang." Filled in Inuyasha "We're leaving with her."

"Okay. Now that I have an explanation..." Inuyasha growled, so Miroku prudently didn't continue. "I'll wake Shippou."

"Huh? Whaz goin on?" came a little boy's voice.

"Never mind, I'll explain it to you later. Just come with us." Miroku's voice was comforting and soft.

"Kagome. What's going on? Why haven't you-"

"Oh! Sango. Its just you." There was evident relief in Kagome's voice. "You scared me."

"Sorry" Impatiently Sango continued. "WHAT is going on, Kagome?"

Kagome quickly explained leaving out the part where she kissed Inuyasha. "So will you go along with it?"

"You are insane!"

"Please Sango? Do it for me, your best friend."

"Kaede won't be very happy."

"Thank you." Kagome hugged her friend.

"My lady," said Miroku, "before we leave May I ask you a question?"

"Alright."

He dropped to one knee. "Will you bear my child?"

A.N. Please review. Pretty please?
