(22 reviews for the last chapter!!!!!)

Hm…I don't think people really like my story but I'm gonna keep on going anyways. Sorry it took so long to update but my network cable's been down and I had to beg my dad to fix it.

            Disclaimer: I'm flattered that you think I own Inuyasha but then I would be rich…and I'm not, so I don't own T-T.

                                                 Curiosity and Cats?

            They walked down the long, winding path side by side. It was dark out but the moon shined so bright they could both easily see where they were going. He decided to break the silence.

            "So how did you kill that demon?" he asked (remember he was in a cave people! And I will type how they got out later.) her while looking straight ahead.

            "With an arrow?" she turned to look at him, motioning towards the quiver and bow over her shoulder but mistook a step and fell. He stopped walking and watched her struggle with the vines that had wrapped around her ankles, laughing.

            "Are you gonna help me, or what?" she answered embarrassed.

            "Not until you answer my question," he replied as he crossed his arms and leaned against a nearby tree comfortably.

            "I did!" she retorted. Her fingers fumbled around the vines trying to pull them loose but only succeeding in making them tighten.

            " No, you answered what you used, I asked how you killed it" he pointed out with a smirk.

            "Miko powers?" she asked in confusion. He raised an eyebrow.

            "Ahhh, so that's the strange power I felt from you! But there was something different about it then the normal mikos" he muttered to himself.

            "Hey! I answered your question so you gonna help me out now?" Kagome asked as a tick mark formed on her head. He just kept muttering to himself. He shook his head, seemingly the end of a debate and walked over to her.

            "Where are your friends?" he asked but before he could help her out, another youkai showed up.

            "Oh great" he moaned in sarcasm.

````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

            "Kagome!" Inuyasha called out in a hoarse voice. They had been searching all day and for the majority of the night.

            "Inuyasha!" Miroku called in an equally hoarse voice; "We cannot search for her anymore. It is too dark. Lets call it a night and get a head start in the morning!"

            Inuyasha growled but did as he suggested and headed back to Kaede's to tell them the news.

````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

            "AHHH!" Kagome screamed as the overly large bear demon picked her up.

            "Kagome!" Kage (Oh! I found out it is really pronounced 'Caw-hey' but I think 'Caw-j' sounds better so you decide which you would rather have.) shouted out. The demon proceeded to lift Kagome towards his mouth when she released a bright blue light and he dropped her, his paw burning and singed. He looked over in Kagome's direction to see her acting as if nothing had happened.

            "Uh…Kagome?" he asked weakly. She turned to him and nodded her head to show her attention.

            "What just happened there?" he asked her in a confused voice.

````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

            "Come on, Kagome! Tell me!" He whined as he jogged backwards in front of her.

            "Curiosity killed the cat, Kage" she answered him…like all the other times.

            "Kagome~!" he fell to the floor with his hands in a prayer lifted towards her.

            "Curiosity killed the cat, Kage," she answered again, side stepping him and continuing down the path.

            "ARGHHH!" was her answer as she continued walking.

````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

            "So," Kagome broke the silence that had fallen between them for the last…two seconds.

            "You'll tell me?!" He asked, his head lifted in hope.

            "…no…" she told him before continuing, "if you're a youkai, how come you couldn't get out of that cave yourself? You said you'd tell me after I got you out!" Kagome finished before he could interrupt again.

            He formed a plan before asking, "Why do you want to know?"

            "Just curious" she replied casually.

            "But Kagome, curiosity killed the cat" he answered, pleased with himself for using her own game against her. She sighed dramatically and he grinned.

            "But satisfaction brought it back" hearing these words his grin fell off his face and his jaw dropped along with it.

            "Now tell me!" Kagome whined much like he had earlier that day. He sighed.

            'What is it about this girl?' he asked himself before shaking his head, "My brother stuck me in there. Our father decided that I, his youngest, would rule his lands when he passed away. Himitsu immediately took charge and put me down in that cave before having it sealed up by a miko, after my father's passing."

"You're brother?" Kagome asked in a horrified awe.

            He just nodded his head and they continued walking.

            "…Besides…I'm not a cat."

Review Responses:

Kagome loves Inuyasha:  Well, someone else voted for Yusuke. Yes, you were the first reviewer for this chapter. Dumb ass! I plan to have the YYH boys make an appearance next chapter. Sesshomaru is tied with Hiei so far. Lol, good luck.

 Sesshomaru77:  Oh, don't worry. I plan to finish this story. It might just have a sequel, too. It depends on who I pair Kagome up with because I originally had her with Kage but a reviewer wanted to vote and now I only have one vote for Kage. I had a big plan for Kage and Kagome though. Oh well.

Inuyasha and Kagome forever:  I thought it was a good place to stop if it had your reader hooked because if it didn't then they wouldn't want to come back to it. Duh! Which makes it a good place to stop. *Sticks tongue out at you* So there!

Kage Otome:  I counted all three. You were the only one to say Kage. People suck!…lol, j/k.

Sukera:  I don't feel special…why? Because no one will look at my other stories even though I put up warnings. That doesn't mean that I don't want people to read them, I just don't want to get pulled off of FF.net because I didn't warn people. *Sigh* Oh well. If you want I could probably do a threesome with them (most likely no sexual stuff though). That way, if everyone votes on that, she can have them both!

Kasemeithesilverfox/dogyouko:  Hey! I'm still waitin' for that update you said would be happenin' soon! Lol, I'm glad you enjoy my story.

Yumi_asashi:  That was pretty cool! I never would have thought of putting them together like that!

"Grandma" Poosh (Chapter 1):  Glad you could finally review old hag! Lol, you're review was funny!…And I DID NOT have a SEX-CHANGE SO QUITE ASKING ME ABOUT IT!!! That was ASHLEY NOT ME!!!!

So-called Grandma Poosh (Chapter 2):  Thanks for defending me, Kyla! That's RIGHT! I DIDN'T see all the episodes! I'm glad that you think I do a good job…for someone who hasn't seen most of the episodes…and, Kyla? I think you deserve the pop-ups so turn off the blocker. Freakiest friend, eh? I agree about the teacher, though. All that homework and no ones learned anything yet.

So-called Grandma Poosh (Chapter 3):  My author(ess) notes are funny, aren't they? When you say that you liked the part after the * At the Goshinboku tree*, did you mean the animals or Kagome falling?

So-called Grandma Poosh (Chapter 4):  What if I decided to make this a Hiei/Kag fic so I could pull it off and get crowned, what would you do? I liked the watch part and the one word each thing myself.

 ASHLEY CORTEZ:  You're break is given. Lol, j/k, it depends on my readers what the pairings are. So far, Sesshomaru and Hiei are tied.

Ashley Nicole:  Yes, I did say that but I meant for each separate chapter. I added your vote anyways.

MIDNIGHT:  lol, you people and Sesshomaru! You sound like me in my dreams! Lol

Kawaii Silver Kitsune:  I'm glad that I have been honored to adorn your favorites list!

Lalu:  Some one agrees with me!!! FINALLY!! I got a Kuronue pairing!

Timeless Tempation:  I plan to make a Hiten/Kag fic later since this one's not going to win. That's cool, the shadow demon.

Dana- The Kurama Luver:  …UH-HUH!! They would to bow to the great, all mighty powerful, Sesshomaru-sama!!!…lol, that was fun!

45:  lol, descriptive, aren't we?

DemonLady1: Another person who agrees with me! They are really good, usually!

Penster:  Jenna, you don't frighten me! Quit trying to intimidate me…HEY! YOU STOLE ALL OF MY GUM!!!!

Blackcats of the moon:  Oh…I gotcha'. I can't wait for your updates!

GreenDragonSpirit:  Anita, how are you? I have a big surprise for you on Monday *grins evilly*! …Run…

Ying:  That is perfectly fine…but you have to choose another pair…j/k.

Kitty:  Have you reviewed before? Lets get some more words in those reviews, shall we? Reviews make an author or authoress happy!

Dark lil Hiei:  Sugoi! I love your name!

Sorry it's not very long.

(1558, all of it, words, 6 pages, and a very big apology for it taking so long yet, being so short. Too lazy to count.)
