"You can't be seriously thinking of leaving her here Inuyasha?"

"Shut up! She made her choice. Even if it is the wrong one. Let her find that out for herself." he remarked.

Shippo looked at the hanyo warily. Inuyasha had never been understanding where Kagome was concerned. What had happened between the two to get him to abandon her now? Could it be Kikyo? Did they get into another fight because of her? No, Kikyo hasn't been seen in almost two months.

"Inuyasha.." Shippo began.

"I said leave it alone! She doesn't want to be with us and that's that! Let's go." he yelled out.

"She wouldn't leave me behind like that! She may not want you anymore but there's no way she'd leave me! I don't know what you did to piss her off but I'm not leaving…" the little foxes rant was cut off as Inuyasha calmly knocked the wind out of him. Picking up the limp form of Shippo, he looked over to Miroku and Sango.

"Any more objections!"

"Inuyasha, perhaps you are acting a bit rashly. We really should give Kagome a few moments to think things through. You two are always arguing about one thing or another. Just give her a few moments to collect herself. No doubt after her anger has dissipated she would be more than happy to resume her journey with us. It may be that she has experienced more stimulation that she is accustomed to.."

" Stimulation? What the hell is that supposed to mean monk?"

"It means dumbass that someone is giving her the affection she's been craving and is not so willing to just toss it away. You are so dense sometimes. It makes me wonder how you survived so long Inuyasha." Sango snapped at him.

Affection? What the fuck???!

Hadn't he showed her affection? Feh!

Is this how she feels when she sees Kikiyo and me? He thought to himself. Does her chest feel like an empty hole? Like someone crushing the life out of your body. Like mine is feeling right now?

"NO! We're leaving and that's it!"

"Inuyasha, perhaps if we were only to go a small distance away.." Miroku began.

A growl began. "I've had it with you guys not hearing me! She wants to stay with Kouga! She said it herself: Inuyasha I want to stay with him , go find Kikyo to help you find the shards. I am tired. Can you understand that?" Inuyasha mocked Kagome's voice.

"Clearly you have misunderstood her. Perhaps she merely wanted to take a small rest. Did you suggest she return to her own time and recuperate there?" the monk questioned.

The growl quickly turned into a snarl. The monk took a minute step back. He's seen Inuyasha in various levels of jealously but never had the half demon acted so viciously..

"I told her she couldn't go back there."

"You can't just dictate to her how to live her life Inuyasha. She has her family there .She may very well simply be missing their company. And Kouga's pack may just be reminding her of what she has with her own family."

With another snarl Inuyasha grabbed the monk by his robes. Yanking him to his own face he very softly told the monk.

"When I found her she and that wimpy wolf were getting ready to rut. I could smell them both clearly. She lusting after him so hard it was revolting! She wasn't upset because she missed her family. THAT BITCH was pissed because I interrupted them!"

"Oh my." was Miroku's only response. Sango gasped. She would have never thought that Kagome would feel for Kouga in such a fashion. But the more she thought on it the more likely she could see it happening. But to rut with him?, how crude Inuyasha was. But still he did get his point across. No, the Kagome she knew would never reduce herself to such a disgraceful level. The girl could barely contemplate kissing anyone without turning redder than Inuyasha robes. To want to rut? Clearly Inuyasha had it wrong. But then again…

"Inuyasha." Sango began

"What!"

"Have you thought that maybe she's seeking affection where she knows it's sincere?

You have to admit it can be VERY tempting to have a handsome guy fawn over you.." she said. "Even more so when you know that you are his only point of focus …"

Inuyasha, already upset with what he saw was now becoming even more unreasonable as the truth of her words slowly sank in.

No, I can't leave her there. I have to get her back. She doesn't belong with him…

With those thoughts, he turned and ran back to the wolves den intent on getting Kagome back by whatever means necessary. He was just hoping that he'll be able to walk again after all the OSWARII's Kagome will not doubt give him.
