Hi! I got another review! Thank you! First off, I want to apologize
to Jades Rose, because on chap 6 when I said I hope I wasn't rushing, you
thought I was being sarcastic and I wasn't being sarcastic. I don't like to
read rushed stories, so I don't want my story to be rushed. Go ahead and
make any suggestions you like. Chapter8!
Chapter8
Inuyasha was just sitting next to Kagome, intently watching her sleeping form.
"Kagome. Please be all right. Too bad Myouga's not here to suck the poison out of you." Inuyasha pulled back Kagome's bangs and kept brushing her hair with his hand.
'Kagome.'
Inuyasha got up and went outside for a little bit. As he walked farther away from the hut, he heard someone call his name.
"Inuyasha." Inuyasha turned around to see Kagome standing at the hut door staring at him.
"Kagome! You shouldn't be up right now!" Inuyasha ran to her side.
"Inuyasha. I'm fine. Sometimes you just need to get out, ya know?" Inuyasha looked at Kagome's small form and smiled.
"Come on. I'm just walking around the village anyway."
Kagome walked around the village with Inuyasha, just admiring the evening scene. The birds were chirping, the village was silent, the huts cast shadows across the village, and she was walking with someone who was a very big part of her life.
She felt like she was walking on clouds. She was so happy like this. She started to hum.
"Hm? What's the matter with you?" Inuyasha asked curiously.
"Nothing, absolutely nothing. I'm just happy."
"About.. What?"
"I don't know. I guess just being here with you."
'Maybe it's the Miasma.'
"Sooo. What are you humming?" Inuyasha asked as he put his hands behind his head slightly blushing.
"Just a saying my dad used to tell me all the time."
"Can I ask what that saying is?"
"Yes you can. He used to tell me a saying that he said related to his life at the time. It went something like:
Don't stand in front of me, I may not follow, don't stand behind me, I may not lead. Stand beside me, and be my friend."
"And HOW does that make you happy?!" Inuyasha yelled. He thought she was talking about him, and that he didn't treat her like a friend. As if they WEREN'T friends. And as if reading his mind, Kagome whispered, "Inuyasha, I'm not talking about you, ya know. You're my best friend. This is the first time I've been able to tell anyone it and not cry, or still be happy."
Inuyasha nodded and mumbled, "Sorry."
"It's no problem. So what do you like to do when you get happy or sad? I know tough Inuyasha doesn't cry. Or laugh. Now does he?" Kagome said in a mocking voice.
Inuyasha glared at her and looked up at the sky.
"I was only kidding Inuyasha. It's perfectly fine to cry or laugh-"
"NO it's not!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome paused and stared at him.
"It's only ok for full breeds to cry or laugh. When half-breeds cry they're considered weak. If they laugh, they're considered weak!"
"Is. Is that why you never laugh or cry?" Kagome asked sadly. She stopped and looked at Inuyasha. "Because your afraid that we might think your weak? Inuyasha. Just because you show your emotions, doesn't mean anything. Sometimes, people get sad. And sometimes people get happy. It's part of life."
Inuyasha stared at her, and then said, "Come on, it's getting late."
"I'm not going anywhere," Kagome sat down and looked at Inuyasha. "Until you tell me what you do when you're said or happy. You can't just bottle up your emotions all the time."
"I can." Inuyasha grabbed her hand, but was pulled down by Kagome.
"So you do feel happy and sad sometimes. Name one time." Kagome looked at Inuyasha with the BIGGEST puppy dog eyes.
Inuyasha blushed and looked at the ground. "I was sad when I thought you were gone forever, and I was happy when I found out you hadn't sealed the well. Now come on." Inuyasha helped Kagome up and she smiled.
"That makes me happy to know. That you don't always bottle up your emotions. Because, sometimes. It hurts to do that." Inuyasha looked at Kagome and smiled.
'I know.'

Sango and the others were setting up camp for the night. Sango was curled up with Kirara. Shippo was with her, and poor, poor Miroku was all by himself against a tree. The night was cold, and he didn't have a blanket. He had decided to act priestly, and give Sango his blanket.
"I wouldn't be a priest if I took the blanket." But just then he had wished that he HADN'T been a priest and took the blanket. He ignored it and rolled over. But he was still shivering.
Sango awoke to his shivering and looked over at him.
'Poor monk. Must be cold.' Sango walked over and layed next to him with the blanket covering the both of them. Miroku turned over and looked at her. (AN: This gave me the thought of what Miroku would look like if he had frostbite and was blue all over. It's kind of funny when you think about it.)
"If you promise NOT to grope me, then I'll lay here with you so you don't freeze to death. And if your hands so much as slip close to me, Kirara will bite your head off." Miroku looked puzzled, but then smiled at her sudden kindness.
"Thank you."

Kagome was fixing Inuyasha a bowl of ramen, but kept spilling it everywhere because she had to use her left hand instead of right.
"Sorry."
"You want me to do it?" Inuyasha asked crawling over to her.
"No, it's ok. I just hope I don't spill anything else." Kagome stirred the ramen a little bit more and some more fell out. But it got on Inuyasha this time.
"YAAAA!" Kagome stood up and tried to find out where he was burnt but he just kept yelling. Kagome couldn't help but giggle.
"It's not funny," Inuyasha sneered.
"I'm sorry," Kagome giggled.
Kagome gave him his bowl, and had a cup of her own. After they were finished, she put everything up and crawled under a blanket. Inuyasha sat in a corner and closed his eyes.
Kagome slept soundlessly, but Inuyasha was having trouble sleeping.
Inuyasha's dream
Inuyasha woke up, but Kagome wasn't in the hut. So he went looking for her.
"Kagome!" he had called. He called and called her name. And then he had heard it. Her voice.
"INUYASHA!" Inuyasha ran to the place where he heard her voice.
When he got there, Kagome was tied to a tree, and Kikyo was in front of her with an arrow.
"Kikyo! Let her go!"
"Never! I will make you suffer like you made me suffer!" Inuyasha ran to try and save Kagome. But it was to late. The arrow had shot Kagome dead in the chest. Inuyasha quickly killed Kikyo and ran to Kagome's side.
"Kagome," he had said. "I'll save you. Hang on. Please." A tear fell from his cheek and Kagome opened her eyes.
"Inuyasha. I'll always love you. I'm sorry I had to leave you. I'll wait for you until the end of time." And then she died. Inuyasha screamed her name over and over. But she never opened her eyes.
"KAGOME!!"
Inuyasha leaned down and kissed her, but her eyes stayed closed.
End Dream
Kagome was awoken to the sound of her name. She looked over at Inuyasha and discovered he was the one saying it.
"What?"
"Kagome."
"WHAT?"
"KAGOME!!!" Kagome crawled over to Inuyasha and looked closely at his face. He was still asleep. Suddenly Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's arms, which made her wince and kissed her. Kagome's pain soon stopped and she kissed back, staring at Inuyasha.
'I know this is a dream for him but.'
Kagome slowly closed her eyes as Inuyasha slowly opened his.
'HUH?! Kagome's. Does she know she's doing this?! I thought it was a.. dream.'
Inuyasha leaned farther into the kiss, which made Kagome open her eyes. Inuyasha pulled away and was blushing furiously.
"I-I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I was dreaming and. I thought. It was a dream. and I." Kagome held his chin and made him look at her, and then she said, "What are you apologizing for?" And kissed him.
Inuyasha's eyes shot open. But then he wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned forward.
'Inuyasha...' Inuyasha pulled off of her and looked at her. Kagome had forgotten all about the pain in her shoulder, but the poison would not be forgotten so easily.
"Kagome I. I.." But Inuyasha never finished his sentence. Kagome had fainted from the poison and the current event that had just happened.
"Kagome!!" Inuyasha yelled. But he calmed down as he saw her sigh slightly in her sleep. Inuyasha smiled.
'That's just like you Kagome. When I'm about to tell you something important, you faint on me. Stupid girl.'

I'm sorry it took me such a long time to update. My mom's been on the computer allot lately, so I couldn't get on. I'm thinking about making ANOTHER story. Even though I'm not done with this one. But I just can't picture Inuyasha and the other's jewel hunt ever being over. Well, hope you like it.
