Chapter 8: A New Member, An Angry Miroku, and The Heartbreak
The spider demon charged and was getting closer and closer. Shippo whimpered and Kagome closed her eyes tighter and gripped Shippo tighter too. Then all of the sudden, Inuyasha jumped in between them and sliced the demon in two. Kagome opened her eyes and happily said "Inuyasha!" The demon split apart and turned into dust. Inuyasha lifted his sword onto his shoulder and turned towards Kagome and the little kitsune. "You two ok?" he asked with a smile. They both nodded. Sango and Miroku ran up to them. Shippo scrambled out of Kagome's arms and ran up to his masters body. He hovered over his masters body and tears came to his eyes. "Master..." he whimpered softly. His masters eyes open slightly and he said "Shippo...I...don't...have...much...time...left..." "Master...don't leave me alone master, what would I do without you?!" Shippo started crying. Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku watched carefully. "Your new friends...I thank them...go...with...them..." And with that, Shippo's master closed his eyes and stopped breathing. "MASTER, NO!!!" Shippo cried louder. Kagome ran over to him and picked him up and hugged him tightly. Shippo looked up at her and she had tears in her eyes too. He sniffled and hugged back, clenching tightly to her shirt. Inuyasha looked serious, but then his expression turned kinda sad (A/N: I know, that's weird heh heh heh). Sango bent down next to Kagome and Shippo and looked really sad too. Even Miroku looked sad. "Do you want to stay with us?" Kagome asked. "Wait, hold on! Who ever said he could stay in my house!" Inuyasha said. Kagome stood up and faced him and said "Well you let me in when I had nowhere to go!" "That was different..." "How different?" Kagome and the rest smirked. Inuyasha blushed brightly and turned around and said "Fine...whatever..." Then he started to walk home. "See Shippo, you can stay with us, if ya want to." Shippo looked up at her and slightly smiled then said "I think that would be great." "Ok, let's go!" Then the rest of the gang started walking back towards the house after they gave Shippo's master a decent burial.
About a half hour later, they all reached the house. "We're here!" Kagome said cheerfully. "I thought you said that you had a house?" Shippo asked. "Look up." Shippo looked up and his eyes widened. "That is y-your house!?" "Yup!" Miroku said proudly and started climbing the ladder. Then Sango started climbing up. "Come on..." Kagome started to climb the ladder with Shippo clutching to her shirt. "Kagome?" he asked wearily. "What is it?" "Did I ever mention that I was afraid of heights?" "No...don't worry, you will get used to it." They reached the top and opened the door. Shippo poked his head in and his eyes widened again. "WOW!" he said amazed. Kagome stepped in after Shippo did and closed the door. Shippo ran to the couch and started bouncing on it. "Me and master never had this kind of comfy furniture in our home!" Kagome smiled and went upstairs to Inuyasha's room. She opened the door and seen Inuyasha on his bed, staring at the ceiling. Kagome came in and sat down on the bed next to him. His ears twitched and he looked over at her. She looked at him and smiled. He smiled back at her. "Inuyasha...is it really ok if Shippo stays with us?" "I don't care...he just isn't sleeping in our room..." "Our room?" Kagome smirked. "You know what I mean!" He turned the other way to hide his blush. "I agree Inuyasha...he can't sleep in OUR room." He turned towards her and slightly smiled. She smiled back and said "Shippo can sleep on the couch, he seems to like it..." "Ok, fine, whatever..." Kagome stood up, gave him a quick kiss, then left the room. Inuyasha's ears twitched as he heard her walk down the steps. He looked back up at the ceiling and smiled to himself.
Sango yawned a few times and stretched. Miroku looked over at her then back at the hyper Shippo, still jumping on the couch. Kagome made it downstairs with a few blankets and pillows. Miroku stood up and went upstairs. At the top step he said "Goodnight everyone..." "Goodnight." they all answered at the same time. "Sango, you should go to bed...you look really tired." "Maybe your right Kagome..." Sango stood up and went upstairs and mumbled "Goodnight." "Goodnight Sango." Kagome and Shippo said. Kagome looked over at Shippo who was STILL jumping on the couch. "Ok, ok, calm down Shippo." He sat down and looked at her. She fluffed up the pillow and lied it against the left arm of the couch. Shippo lied his little head down on the fluffy pillow and sighed. Kagome unfolded the rather large blanket and tucked it comfortably around Shippo. "There..." Kagome stood up and was about to walk away when Shippo said "Don't I get a goodnight kiss?" Kagome turned towards him and smiled. Shippo puckered up his lips. Kagome rolled her eyes and kissed his forehead. Shippo smiled and buried his head back into the pillow. "Goodnight Shippo." "Goodnight mom." Kagome stopped and her eyes widened. "Did he just call me...MOM!" she thought to herself, eyes still wide. She shook her head then shut the light off and walked back up the stairs.
Kagome went into her room and shut the door behind her. She got dressed quickly and lied down on the cot. She felt the metal bars underneath it and stuffed one of her pillows under it. It didn't make much of a difference. "Ya know Kagome, ya don't have to sleep down there anymore." Kagome sat up and looked at Inuyasha. He hopped off his bed and picked her up the sat back down. He lied her next to him and pulled down the covers so she could slide in. She covered up and sighed. He looked down at her and sighed at her beauty. "Ya know the weirdest thing that just happened?" she said after a short period of silence. "Hm?" "After I was done tucking Shippo in, I said goodnight and guess what he said?" "Hm?" "He said goodnight MOM." Inuyasha blinked for a second then said "He called you mom?" "Yes..." "Then what does that make me?" Inuyasha smirked then kissed Kagome. She giggled then smiled. Inuyasha turned the light off then said "Goodnight Kagome." "Goodnight Inuyasha." Then they both fell asleep. (A/N: HAHA! Useless fluff! *laughs crazily* *guards grunt* AH! NO! STAY AWAY! *runs and hids in corner of cell* D-Don't hurt me!)
*'Die Shippo!' 'No Master!' 'What is wrong master?!' Shippo's master charges towards him and slices him.* Shippo woke up suddenly after a horrible nightmare. He was panting hard and sweating. He pushed the blanket off him and looked at the clock. It read: 2:31. "Kagome?" he asked wearily and looked through the darkness. He jumped off the couch, trying to find his way through the darkness. He made it to the stairs and started climbing them. He reached the top and looked in the first room he saw. "Nope, this is the bathroom..." He looked in the room to the left of it. "Nope, this is Sango's room..." He went down the right and saw two more rooms. he picked one and went inside. "Darn! This is Miroku's room...so that other room most be hers..." He left and opened the door to the last room. He saw Inuyasha asleep. "Where is Kagome?" he whispered to himself. Then he seen her sleeping on the other side of the bed next to Inuyasha. He walked around the bed and hopped up onto it where Kagome was sleeping. He cuddled up next to her and went under the covers and closed his eyes and went to sleep.

The morning light peeked through Inuyasha's window. He opened his eyes sleepily and blinked a few times. He looked at the clock, it said 9:30. He rolled over and kissed Kagome's forehead gently. She opened her eyes and looked at him and smiled. He smiled back. Kagome felt something move next to her and she looked down and seen Shippo, who was cuddled up next to her, sleeping. Inuyasha growled angrily. "Inuyasha!" she whispered fiercely. He growled again and said "I said he couldn't sleep in here." "He probably was scared on his first night in a place he has never been before." Kagome picked up Shippo and hugged him. He opened his eyes slightly and smiled at her. "Hi Kagome!" "Hi Shippo." Inuyasha growled again. Shippo crawled over to him and looked up in his face and said "Your not jealous, are you?" Shippo and Kagome smirked. "NO!" Inuyasha hissed. "Your not?" Kagome asked then frowned. She reached out and pulled Inuyasha closer and kissed him. Shippo made a disgusted face and said "YUCK!" Shippo jumped off the end of the bed and went outside and waited until they were down. A few minutes passed and Kagome came out and picked up Shippo. He smiled and hugged her. Inuyasha growled as he came out of the room. "I can tell your jealous..." Shippo said. "Remember, I am just a kid." Kagome and Shippo smirked and Inuyasha just rolled his eyes. Kagome carried Shippo downstairs and Inuyasha followed. "I am starving..." Shippo said. "Me too..." Kagome said quickly. They turned to Inuyasha and he said "What do you two want?!" Kagome set Shippo down and brought Inuyasha his Tetsusaiga. "I want you to get us some food, I am sorry, but we don't have any ramen left." "Why should I get you some food?" "Because your girlfriend is hungry and isn't good at hunting." He smiled to himself after he heard that. "Fine, fine, what do you want?" Kagome looked over at Shippo and asked "What do you want?" "I want rabbit!" Kagome had an odd look on her face for a minute then said "Ok...I guess we will go with that, but bring enough for everyone, including Miroku and Sango." Inuyasha went upstairs and changed then started heading towards the door. "Be safe sweetie." Kagome said from behind him. He turned around and smiled then said "I will, ya don't have to worry, I will be back before you know it." He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her. She put her arms around his neck and returned the kiss. Shippo had another disgusted look on his face. Inuyasha nuzzled noses with Kagome then left. She sighed then turned back to Shippo. "You don't like that, do you?" Shippo kept his disgusted face then smiled and shook his head. Kagome giggled then picked him up and swung him around. "WEEEEEEEE!" Shippo said happily. "Your tail is so fluffy and soft!" Kagome said petting his tail. Shippo smiled. Then Sango came downstairs and yawned then asked "Where's Inuyasha?" "He went to get us some food..." Kagome said. Sango's eyes widened and said "He did! He has changed a lot...since you came Kagome..." Kagome smiled with pride. Shippo looked confused. "You'll understand when you grow up..." came a voice from the staircase. Everybody turned their attention to the staircase and Miroku walked down. They all rolled their eyes and ignored him. Shippo's stomach growled. "I am really hungry..." "Inuyasha will be back before you know it." Kagome replied. Everyone seemed to sigh at the same time.
*
An hour has passed by and everybody sighed again. "When will he get here?!" Shippo complained. "Anytime soon, just be patient Shippo..." Kagome said. Sango yawned again and Miroku grew his perverted grin again. He slid over next to Sango and put his arm around her. His hand ACCIDENTALLY fell down and squeezed her butt. "HENTAI!" she slapped him and hit him upside the head a few times with a water bucket that was next to her (A/N: It wasn't filled up, I don't think she would be that mean...YET). She looked angry and slid over next to Kagome and Shippo. "Is he always perverted like this?" Shippo asked. Kagome looked like she sees it everyday: T_T (and she does) and said "Yep..." Shippo rolled his eyes and made the same type of face as Kagome. They all looked coldly at Miroku and he looked confused.
***
Three whole hours passed. Everybody just sat in the living room quietly, Miroku has a bunch a red slap marks and bumps on his head from his perverted little mind. Kagome was lying in the chair, her legs hanging over one side, her head hanging over the other side. Shippo was sitting against the chair Kagome was lying on, his head near hers. Miroku was lying on the floor. And Sango was sitting on the couch, hugging her knees. Shippo sighed, the Kagome sighed shortly afterwards. Miroku rubbed his sore face and Sango rolled her eyes.
**
Two hours passed again. Kagome looked at the clock and it said 3:30. "Kagome?" Shippo asked. "Yes Shippo?" "When is Inuyasha coming back, I think we are wasting our time sitting in here for about six whole hours doing nothing...." "It has really been that long? It only felt like an hour..." Sango said. "Well if Inuyasha doesn't get here, I get first dibs on eating the legs of our table." Miroku said. "Unless I get to them first!" Kagome replied. Everyone laughed. Kagome stood up then went outside. Shippo watched her close the front door quietly. Sango sighed and Miroku continued to rub his sore face gently.
Kagome sat on the wooden rail and dangled her feet over the edge. She looked up at the sky and sighed. Then the wind blew so hard, Kagome slipped off. She screamed and everybody heard that and rushed outside. Kagome fell and closed her eyes, waiting to break her neck or something. But it never came. Instead, she felt a large pair of arms encircle her waist then set her on the ground. She opened her eyes and seen Inuyasha smiling down at her. "You need to learn to be more careful." he said. She just smiled and hugged him. He held back onto her and jumped up into the porch, where everyone was. He set Kagome down and said "I swear...there is not a rabbit on this whole continent, so I just got some venison." (A/N: Ya know, deer? ^-^). Shippo looked at the doe Inuyasha brought back and he licked his lips. "That looks delicious Inuyasha." Shippo said, his mouth almost watering. "Thanks uh, uh...um" "It's Shippo..." Shippo said with an annoyed face as he narrowed his eyes: T_T. "Oh yeah, thanks Shippo." Inuyasha said after he got the hang of it. They all went inside while Miroku and Inuyasha cleaned up their meal. "What can we make with it though?" Sango asked. Kagome put on a hard-thinking face. So did Shippo. "I know a good dessert!" Shippo said. "What is it?" Kagome asked. "I won't tell ya, but I will make it." He grabbed a little basket and headed towards the door. He stopped and turned around then said "See ya!" Then he went outside. Sango and Kagome just looked at each other and shrugged. "Do you have noodles?" Kagome asked. "Yeah..." Sango said with a confused face. "Do you have cheese?" "Yeah?" "Do you have condensed milk?" "Uh, yeah..." "Is it sweetened?" "Yeah, I think so, why?" "Macaroni and Cheese!" Kagome said happily. (A/N: YUM! ^-^) Sango stood their with the most confused look then asked "What is Macaroni and Cheese?" "You have heard of ramen but not Macaroni and Cheese? I swear, you live in the weirdest era..." (A/N: Heh heh, I am weird, I know, they have heard of Ramen, but not Macaroni and Cheese. Don't ask me why, I have a messed up mind lol ^-^). Kagome pulled out all the ingredients and started to cook it. Sango stood there and felt like she was useless. "What can I do?" Sango asked. Kagome looked up and smiled. "Are you good at making beverages?" "I guess so...um..." "Then make us something...just nothing with coconut or banana...YUCK!" "Ok..." Sango smiled and kinda giggled.
Shippo was skipping through the forest, picking blue and red berries and putting them in his basket. "I haven't had this dessert in a long time!" Shippo said happily. He continued to pick berries.
"No Miroku, hold the deer's left leg." Miroku dropped it on the ground. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and said "Your other left..." T_T "Oops..." Miroku picked the deer back up.
Kagome put the Macaroni and Cheese in the oven and set the timer thingy. Sango put the beverage in the refrigerator. They both sighed and sat down on the couch. Then Shippo came in with a basket full of berries and went into the kitchen. Kagome and Sango just kinda looked at Shippo and shrugged their shoulders again. They heard dishes clattering in the kitchen. Kagome stood up and said "I am going to check on Inuyasha and Miroku." "Ok..." Sango said and leaned back against the couch. Kagome went outside and looked down off the porch. She smiled as Inuyasha looked up at her. He smiled back then looked back down at his work. She sat down on the wooden rail again and sighed. She watched them clean up the meat. Shippo came out and tugged on Kagome's sleeve. She looked down at him and smiled. "Your noodle thingy is done." he said. She heard that and giggled. "Thank you Shippo." She turned around then went inside and Shippo sat on her place on the rail. She grabbed a couple hot pads and opened the oven. There was a circular shaped pan covered with tinfoil under her Mac and Cheese. It smelled really good. Kagome took out her noodles and set them on the stovetop to cool. Kagome went back outside and sat down next to Shippo. She looked down at him and said "Whatever you are cooking, it smells really good!" Shippo smiled and Kagome did shortly after too. Finally, Inuyasha and Miroku were all done cleaning and cutting the meat. "Kagome?" Inuyasha yelled up to her. "Yes?" "We need some of them Ziploc bag things or whatever you call them." (A/N: ZIPLOC! ^-^) "Ok, I will be right back." She smiled and got off the rail and went inside. Inuyasha smiled and said to himself "What a girl..." Miroku heard that and nudged his elbow into Inuyasha's side and smirked. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and turned away. Kagome returned a few moments later and started climbing down the ladder. She almost lost her footing, but caught herself again and made it to the bottom. "How many do you need? I brought the whole box." Kagome asked. "Not sure..." Miroku said. "Well...here..." Kagome said and set down the box next to the meat. "She started to walk away when Miroku asked "We could use a little more help..." Inuyasha jabbed him in the ribs and said "She is a girl, why would she want to do something like this?!" "So you are saying that just because I am a girl, I can't put meat in a bag?!" Kagome said. "No! Kagome, I didn't mean it like that..." Inuyasha said, his eyes wide. "I know you didn't." Kagome said then walked over next to him and kissed his cheek. "I will help." Kagome rolled up her sleeves and took a bag. Inuyasha and Miroku just watched her as she started to put the meat in bags. She looked up at them and said "Well, come on...I am not doing this myself!" Inuyasha and Miroku grabbed a bag and started bagging the meat too. (A/N: Bagging meat? Don't ask me. My dad did it before when he caught a deer...sooo...yeah ^-^)
Sango lied on the couch and smelled something wonderful. She stood up and went into the kitchen. She opened the oven and smelled deeply. Then Shippo stepped in and said "No peeking!" Sango shut the oven quickly and turned around and put her hand behind her head and sweat dropped (A/N: That was a long sentence! O.o...ok, ok, back to the story...). Sango slid away as Shippo watched her carefully.
Kagome, Inuyasha, and Miroku were finally done bagging the meat. "Ewww..." Kagome said as she looked at her hands. Then she looked at Miroku with the same kind of grin he gets when he gets perverted. She walked over to him and hugged him. He looked down at her with wide eyes. Inuyasha growled but she faced him and winked. She rubbed Miroku's back and hugged him tighter then let go. She quickly put her hands behind her back and said "I better wash my hands now...uh...see ya!" She ran to the ladder and climbed up it quickly. Then once she was inside, Inuyasha busted out laughing. Miroku looked confused. "Do you know why she hugged you?" "No...but-" Miroku was still very confused. Inuyasha smiled widely. "She was messing with you, she just wiped her hands on you!" Inuyasha fell on the ground laughing as Miroku turned around and looked at the back of his WHITE shirt. Miroku suddenly looked angry. "Well now you can haul all the meat up to the house!" Miroku said and smirked then started climbing up the ladder. Inuyasha frowned but then smiled again when he saw the back of Miroku's shirt. He picked up a few bags of meat and looked back up at the porch thingy.
Kagome washed her hands and noticed Miroku came in angrily. She bit her lip when he stomped upstairs. "Miroku, honey, what's wrong?" Sango asked and followed him upstairs. Then she saw the back of his shirt and giggled. He turned around and yelled in her face "IT'S NOT FUNNY!!!! JUST GET OUT OF MY FACE YOU BAKA ONNA!!!!" Then he stomped into his room and slammed his door. Sango stood there stunned and then walked downstairs slowly with a blank look on her face. "Sango?" Kagome said. Sango sat down on the couch, still with that blank look. Kagome joined her and said "Sango?" Sango didn't say anything. "Sango?" Shippo said and sat on the floor in front of the two girls. "I-I have never seen M-Miroku act th-that way before...." Sango said, her voice shaking. Kagome and Shippo didn't say anything. "He has never yelled at me like that before...he must really been angry..." A tear fell down Sango's cheek and she hugged her knees. "Sango...I am sorry..." Kagome said and looked sad. Sango just snorted at her. Even Shippo looked kinda mad. Inuyasha came in and kinda ignored everyone, then noticed Sango was crying. He set the few bags of meat down and walked over to her and asked "What's wrong Sango?" "Miroku is super angry...he yelled at me, called me a baka onna, and slammed the door in my face." she replied. Then Inuyasha looked at Kagome and kinda narrowed his eyes then stood up and went upstairs.
Kagome felt really bad and then she stood up and grabbed her backpack and left. Nobody noticed, Shippo had his eyes closed, Sango was crying, and Inuyasha and Miroku were upstairs. She climbed down and lost footing about half way and dropped her bag and fell on it. She stood up and dusted herself then grabbed her backpack again and left. (A/N: Kagome is weird sometimes *smiles widely* She is a very emotional girl...over-dramatic. JUST LIKE ME *starts laughing insanely* *guards tie straightjacket even tighter* HELP!)
Inuyasha knocked on Miroku's door but there was no reply. "Come on Miroku, you don't have to be this upset!" Miroku just snorted at him from inside his room. "Fine then!" Inuyasha hissed then stomped away. He went back downstairs. Then he came to his senses and noticed that Kagome was gone. He looked around the house, but she wasn't there, then he noticed her backpack was gone. He grabbed his Tetsusaiga and left. He jumped down off the porch and tried to sniff her out, but somehow, it wasn't working. "Kagome!" he yelled and continued walking.
Kagome heard Inuyasha yell out her name. She then started to run through the forest, trying to avoid all the trees and roots. She tripped over one tiny root and fell to the ground. She stood back up and shook her head and started running again. "I shouldn't be here, all my friends are mad at me...I just wanna go home!!!" She yelled to herself in her mind. She jumped over a log and almost fell. She came back to her senses and continued running.
"KAGOME!!!" Inuyasha yelled again, walking at a fast pace through the forest. "Kagome, where are you!?" he yelled again.
Kagome ran and ran. Then her shoe came untied and she fell forwards onto a thorn bush. "OW!" she yelled and stood up quickly. Her legs and knees were scraped and her right arm was bleeding from the thorn bush. The sting brought tears to her eyes, but she started running again.
Inuyasha heard her yell and then smelled her blood and tears. He started running faster and her scent was getting stronger.
"I can't stay here, all my friends hate me, I don't even belong here..." Kagome said out loud to herself. She continued running until she didn't notice a cliff and almost fell down it. She stood there wobbly and held out her arms for balance then finally caught herself and took a few steps backward. She was breathing hard, out of breath. She looked at the cliff and ocean and got a serious face.
Her scent was getting stronger and stronger each step Inuyasha took. Then he came to the cliff and saw Kagome at the end of it. "KAGOME!" he yelled. She spun around and looked at him. "Kagome, I looked everywhere for you, why did you run off?" he asked and took a step closer. "Stay back!" she yelled and took a step backwards towards the cliff and felt she was at the end. "Kagome, what are you doing?!" he yelled after she took a step back. "Leave me alone Inuyasha!" "Kagome, why are you acting like this?" His voice seemed a little calmer. "I don't belong here, I am going home!" she yelled, her voice fiercer this time. Inuyasha's eyes widened then said "How do you think you are going to get home?" "I am sure this is just a dream!" She fell to her knees and started crying. Inuyasha was at her side in an instant. He sat down on the ground next to her. "Kagome..." He grabbed her arm and pulled her into a tight embrace. "Inuyasha...what happens if this IS a dream and I DO wake up?" she asked wearily. Inuyasha just hugged her tighter. "Inuyasha, I wanna go home...I miss my family..." She pulled away and stood up. He stood up too. "I don't wanna be here no more, I don't want to be your friend anymore, I am sick of it, I wanna go home and live a NORMAL life, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Inuyasha looked like his heart was shredded up into a million pieces. His whole expression changed after she said that. "Kagome I-" he stopped suddenly and looked down at the ground, his bangs shadowing his eyes. Kagome just realized what she had said and her eyes widened to the size of tennis balls. "Inuyasha, I never meant it like that..." "What did you mean then?!" he said, still looking at the ground. "I uh-um..." He could smell the tears forming in her eyes. She ran over to him and grabbed his arms. "Inuyasha..." He pulled away and looked up at her and yelled "GO home, see if I care! I don't want to see you anymore either!!!" He ran off into the forest. "He had tears in his eyes..." she said out loud to herself. Then the tears that were forming in her eyes finally took control and started streaming down her face. She wanted to kill herself. She just ruined their relationship, and it was all her fault.
(A/N: I should stop there, but I feel a little generous today, so I will add a little more ^.~)
****Back At The House****
Shippo finally opened his eyes when the timer went off. He grabbed hot pads and pulled his dessert out of the oven and turned off the heat. He set his dessert on the stovetop next to Kagome's dish to let it cool. Then he noticed Kagome and Inuyasha were gone. He walked up to Sango and sat in her lap. She looked down at him with red wet eyes and slightly smiled. Shippo smiled back up at her and hugged her and said "It's ok Sango..." Sango hugged him back and said "Thank you Shippo..." "My dessert is finally done!" Shippo announced proudly. "Ok...good, I am kinda hungry..." Sango smiled again. "Do you know where Kagome and Inuyasha are?" Shippo asked. Sango looked back down at him and shrugged her shoulders. Shippo yawned and look at the floor. Sango stretched out and sighed. Then they both heard a thump come from upstairs. "What was that?" Sango asked as she looked up at the ceiling. Shippo shrugged his shoulders and said "It was probably Miroku...he is the only one up there, I think...or maybe Inuyasha and Kagome." Sango and Shippo looked at each other with wide eyes then at the same time they said "NAH!" They both sighed again at about the same time. Then Sango and Shippo stood up quickly and headed towards the front door.
Kagome stood at the cliff, tears still streaming down her face. "Inuyasha...INUYASHA!!!" she screamed and fell to her knees again. She held her head with both hands and cried her heart out. "Inuyasha, I never meant it like that, I love you..." she said knowing that he didn't hear it. She was really planning to kill herself. She stood back up and walked over to the edge of the cliff. She dropped her backpack and bow and arrows and closed her eyes. She placed her hands behind her back and lifted her foot. She was leaning forwards, about to fall then two voices yelled "KAGOME, STOP! DON'T DO IT!!!" But it was too late, Kagome started falling forward off the cliff. Sango and Shippo ran to the edge. "KAGOME!!!" Then wind blew fiercely and started to bring Kagome back up. Sango and Shippo looked behind them and there eyes widened. It was...
************************************************************************

Chapter 8: A New Member, An Angry Miroku, and The Heartbreak
The spider demon charged and was getting closer and closer. Shippo whimpered and Kagome closed her eyes tighter and gripped Shippo tighter too. Then all of the sudden, Inuyasha jumped in between them and sliced the demon in two. Kagome opened her eyes and happily said "Inuyasha!" The demon split apart and turned into dust. Inuyasha lifted his sword onto his shoulder and turned towards Kagome and the little kitsune. "You two ok?" he asked with a smile. They both nodded. Sango and Miroku ran up to them. Shippo scrambled out of Kagome's arms and ran up to his masters body. He hovered over his masters body and tears came to his eyes. "Master..." he whimpered softly. His masters eyes open slightly and he said "Shippo...I...don't...have...much...time...left..." "Master...don't leave me alone master, what would I do without you?!" Shippo started crying. Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku watched carefully. "Your new friends...I thank them...go...with...them..." And with that, Shippo's master closed his eyes and stopped breathing. "MASTER, NO!!!" Shippo cried louder. Kagome ran over to him and picked him up and hugged him tightly. Shippo looked up at her and she had tears in her eyes too. He sniffled and hugged back, clenching tightly to her shirt. Inuyasha looked serious, but then his expression turned kinda sad (A/N: I know, that's weird heh heh heh). Sango bent down next to Kagome and Shippo and looked really sad too. Even Miroku looked sad. "Do you want to stay with us?" Kagome asked. "Wait, hold on! Who ever said he could stay in my house!" Inuyasha said. Kagome stood up and faced him and said "Well you let me in when I had nowhere to go!" "That was different..." "How different?" Kagome and the rest smirked. Inuyasha blushed brightly and turned around and said "Fine...whatever..." Then he started to walk home. "See Shippo, you can stay with us, if ya want to." Shippo looked up at her and slightly smiled then said "I think that would be great." "Ok, let's go!" Then the rest of the gang started walking back towards the house after they gave Shippo's master a decent burial.
About a half hour later, they all reached the house. "We're here!" Kagome said cheerfully. "I thought you said that you had a house?" Shippo asked. "Look up." Shippo looked up and his eyes widened. "That is y-your house!?" "Yup!" Miroku said proudly and started climbing the ladder. Then Sango started climbing up. "Come on..." Kagome started to climb the ladder with Shippo clutching to her shirt. "Kagome?" he asked wearily. "What is it?" "Did I ever mention that I was afraid of heights?" "No...don't worry, you will get used to it." They reached the top and opened the door. Shippo poked his head in and his eyes widened again. "WOW!" he said amazed. Kagome stepped in after Shippo did and closed the door. Shippo ran to the couch and started bouncing on it. "Me and master never had this kind of comfy furniture in our home!" Kagome smiled and went upstairs to Inuyasha's room. She opened the door and seen Inuyasha on his bed, staring at the ceiling. Kagome came in and sat down on the bed next to him. His ears twitched and he looked over at her. She looked at him and smiled. He smiled back at her. "Inuyasha...is it really ok if Shippo stays with us?" "I don't care...he just isn't sleeping in our room..." "Our room?" Kagome smirked. "You know what I mean!" He turned the other way to hide his blush. "I agree Inuyasha...he can't sleep in OUR room." He turned towards her and slightly smiled. She smiled back and said "Shippo can sleep on the couch, he seems to like it..." "Ok, fine, whatever..." Kagome stood up, gave him a quick kiss, then left the room. Inuyasha's ears twitched as he heard her walk down the steps. He looked back up at the ceiling and smiled to himself.
Sango yawned a few times and stretched. Miroku looked over at her then back at the hyper Shippo, still jumping on the couch. Kagome made it downstairs with a few blankets and pillows. Miroku stood up and went upstairs. At the top step he said "Goodnight everyone..." "Goodnight." they all answered at the same time. "Sango, you should go to bed...you look really tired." "Maybe your right Kagome..." Sango stood up and went upstairs and mumbled "Goodnight." "Goodnight Sango." Kagome and Shippo said. Kagome looked over at Shippo who was STILL jumping on the couch. "Ok, ok, calm down Shippo." He sat down and looked at her. She fluffed up the pillow and lied it against the left arm of the couch. Shippo lied his little head down on the fluffy pillow and sighed. Kagome unfolded the rather large blanket and tucked it comfortably around Shippo. "There..." Kagome stood up and was about to walk away when Shippo said "Don't I get a goodnight kiss?" Kagome turned towards him and smiled. Shippo puckered up his lips. Kagome rolled her eyes and kissed his forehead. Shippo smiled and buried his head back into the pillow. "Goodnight Shippo." "Goodnight mom." Kagome stopped and her eyes widened. "Did he just call me...MOM!" she thought to herself, eyes still wide. She shook her head then shut the light off and walked back up the stairs.
Kagome went into her room and shut the door behind her. She got dressed quickly and lied down on the cot. She felt the metal bars underneath it and stuffed one of her pillows under it. It didn't make much of a difference. "Ya know Kagome, ya don't have to sleep down there anymore." Kagome sat up and looked at Inuyasha. He hopped off his bed and picked her up the sat back down. He lied her next to him and pulled down the covers so she could slide in. She covered up and sighed. He looked down at her and sighed at her beauty. "Ya know the weirdest thing that just happened?" she said after a short period of silence. "Hm?" "After I was done tucking Shippo in, I said goodnight and guess what he said?" "Hm?" "He said goodnight MOM." Inuyasha blinked for a second then said "He called you mom?" "Yes..." "Then what does that make me?" Inuyasha smirked then kissed Kagome. She giggled then smiled. Inuyasha turned the light off then said "Goodnight Kagome." "Goodnight Inuyasha." Then they both fell asleep. (A/N: HAHA! Useless fluff! *laughs crazily* *guards grunt* AH! NO! STAY AWAY! *runs and hids in corner of cell* D-Don't hurt me!)
*'Die Shippo!' 'No Master!' 'What is wrong master?!' Shippo's master charges towards him and slices him.* Shippo woke up suddenly after a horrible nightmare. He was panting hard and sweating. He pushed the blanket off him and looked at the clock. It read: 2:31. "Kagome?" he asked wearily and looked through the darkness. He jumped off the couch, trying to find his way through the darkness. He made it to the stairs and started climbing them. He reached the top and looked in the first room he saw. "Nope, this is the bathroom..." He looked in the room to the left of it. "Nope, this is Sango's room..." He went down the right and saw two more rooms. he picked one and went inside. "Darn! This is Miroku's room...so that other room most be hers..." He left and opened the door to the last room. He saw Inuyasha asleep. "Where is Kagome?" he whispered to himself. Then he seen her sleeping on the other side of the bed next to Inuyasha. He walked around the bed and hopped up onto it where Kagome was sleeping. He cuddled up next to her and went under the covers and closed his eyes and went to sleep.

The morning light peeked through Inuyasha's window. He opened his eyes sleepily and blinked a few times. He looked at the clock, it said 9:30. He rolled over and kissed Kagome's forehead gently. She opened her eyes and looked at him and smiled. He smiled back. Kagome felt something move next to her and she looked down and seen Shippo, who was cuddled up next to her, sleeping. Inuyasha growled angrily. "Inuyasha!" she whispered fiercely. He growled again and said "I said he couldn't sleep in here." "He probably was scared on his first night in a place he has never been before." Kagome picked up Shippo and hugged him. He opened his eyes slightly and smiled at her. "Hi Kagome!" "Hi Shippo." Inuyasha growled again. Shippo crawled over to him and looked up in his face and said "Your not jealous, are you?" Shippo and Kagome smirked. "NO!" Inuyasha hissed. "Your not?" Kagome asked then frowned. She reached out and pulled Inuyasha closer and kissed him. Shippo made a disgusted face and said "YUCK!" Shippo jumped off the end of the bed and went outside and waited until they were down. A few minutes passed and Kagome came out and picked up Shippo. He smiled and hugged her. Inuyasha growled as he came out of the room. "I can tell your jealous..." Shippo said. "Remember, I am just a kid." Kagome and Shippo smirked and Inuyasha just rolled his eyes. Kagome carried Shippo downstairs and Inuyasha followed. "I am starving..." Shippo said. "Me too..." Kagome said quickly. They turned to Inuyasha and he said "What do you two want?!" Kagome set Shippo down and brought Inuyasha his Tetsusaiga. "I want you to get us some food, I am sorry, but we don't have any ramen left." "Why should I get you some food?" "Because your girlfriend is hungry and isn't good at hunting." He smiled to himself after he heard that. "Fine, fine, what do you want?" Kagome looked over at Shippo and asked "What do you want?" "I want rabbit!" Kagome had an odd look on her face for a minute then said "Ok...I guess we will go with that, but bring enough for everyone, including Miroku and Sango." Inuyasha went upstairs and changed then started heading towards the door. "Be safe sweetie." Kagome said from behind him. He turned around and smiled then said "I will, ya don't have to worry, I will be back before you know it." He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her. She put her arms around his neck and returned the kiss. Shippo had another disgusted look on his face. Inuyasha nuzzled noses with Kagome then left. She sighed then turned back to Shippo. "You don't like that, do you?" Shippo kept his disgusted face then smiled and shook his head. Kagome giggled then picked him up and swung him around. "WEEEEEEEE!" Shippo said happily. "Your tail is so fluffy and soft!" Kagome said petting his tail. Shippo smiled. Then Sango came downstairs and yawned then asked "Where's Inuyasha?" "He went to get us some food..." Kagome said. Sango's eyes widened and said "He did! He has changed a lot...since you came Kagome..." Kagome smiled with pride. Shippo looked confused. "You'll understand when you grow up..." came a voice from the staircase. Everybody turned their attention to the staircase and Miroku walked down. They all rolled their eyes and ignored him. Shippo's stomach growled. "I am really hungry..." "Inuyasha will be back before you know it." Kagome replied. Everyone seemed to sigh at the same time.
*
An hour has passed by and everybody sighed again. "When will he get here?!" Shippo complained. "Anytime soon, just be patient Shippo..." Kagome said. Sango yawned again and Miroku grew his perverted grin again. He slid over next to Sango and put his arm around her. His hand ACCIDENTALLY fell down and squeezed her butt. "HENTAI!" she slapped him and hit him upside the head a few times with a water bucket that was next to her (A/N: It wasn't filled up, I don't think she would be that mean...YET). She looked angry and slid over next to Kagome and Shippo. "Is he always perverted like this?" Shippo asked. Kagome looked like she sees it everyday: T_T (and she does) and said "Yep..." Shippo rolled his eyes and made the same type of face as Kagome. They all looked coldly at Miroku and he looked confused.
***
Three whole hours passed. Everybody just sat in the living room quietly, Miroku has a bunch a red slap marks and bumps on his head from his perverted little mind. Kagome was lying in the chair, her legs hanging over one side, her head hanging over the other side. Shippo was sitting against the chair Kagome was lying on, his head near hers. Miroku was lying on the floor. And Sango was sitting on the couch, hugging her knees. Shippo sighed, the Kagome sighed shortly afterwards. Miroku rubbed his sore face and Sango rolled her eyes.
**
Two hours passed again. Kagome looked at the clock and it said 3:30. "Kagome?" Shippo asked. "Yes Shippo?" "When is Inuyasha coming back, I think we are wasting our time sitting in here for about six whole hours doing nothing...." "It has really been that long? It only felt like an hour..." Sango said. "Well if Inuyasha doesn't get here, I get first dibs on eating the legs of our table." Miroku said. "Unless I get to them first!" Kagome replied. Everyone laughed. Kagome stood up then went outside. Shippo watched her close the front door quietly. Sango sighed and Miroku continued to rub his sore face gently.
Kagome sat on the wooden rail and dangled her feet over the edge. She looked up at the sky and sighed. Then the wind blew so hard, Kagome slipped off. She screamed and everybody heard that and rushed outside. Kagome fell and closed her eyes, waiting to break her neck or something. But it never came. Instead, she felt a large pair of arms encircle her waist then set her on the ground. She opened her eyes and seen Inuyasha smiling down at her. "You need to learn to be more careful." he said. She just smiled and hugged him. He held back onto her and jumped up into the porch, where everyone was. He set Kagome down and said "I swear...there is not a rabbit on this whole continent, so I just got some venison." (A/N: Ya know, deer? ^-^). Shippo looked at the doe Inuyasha brought back and he licked his lips. "That looks delicious Inuyasha." Shippo said, his mouth almost watering. "Thanks uh, uh...um" "It's Shippo..." Shippo said with an annoyed face as he narrowed his eyes: T_T. "Oh yeah, thanks Shippo." Inuyasha said after he got the hang of it. They all went inside while Miroku and Inuyasha cleaned up their meal. "What can we make with it though?" Sango asked. Kagome put on a hard-thinking face. So did Shippo. "I know a good dessert!" Shippo said. "What is it?" Kagome asked. "I won't tell ya, but I will make it." He grabbed a little basket and headed towards the door. He stopped and turned around then said "See ya!" Then he went outside. Sango and Kagome just looked at each other and shrugged. "Do you have noodles?" Kagome asked. "Yeah..." Sango said with a confused face. "Do you have cheese?" "Yeah?" "Do you have condensed milk?" "Uh, yeah..." "Is it sweetened?" "Yeah, I think so, why?" "Macaroni and Cheese!" Kagome said happily. (A/N: YUM! ^-^) Sango stood their with the most confused look then asked "What is Macaroni and Cheese?" "You have heard of ramen but not Macaroni and Cheese? I swear, you live in the weirdest era..." (A/N: Heh heh, I am weird, I know, they have heard of Ramen, but not Macaroni and Cheese. Don't ask me why, I have a messed up mind lol ^-^). Kagome pulled out all the ingredients and started to cook it. Sango stood there and felt like she was useless. "What can I do?" Sango asked. Kagome looked up and smiled. "Are you good at making beverages?" "I guess so...um..." "Then make us something...just nothing with coconut or banana...YUCK!" "Ok..." Sango smiled and kinda giggled.
Shippo was skipping through the forest, picking blue and red berries and putting them in his basket. "I haven't had this dessert in a long time!" Shippo said happily. He continued to pick berries.
"No Miroku, hold the deer's left leg." Miroku dropped it on the ground. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and said "Your other left..." T_T "Oops..." Miroku picked the deer back up.
Kagome put the Macaroni and Cheese in the oven and set the timer thingy. Sango put the beverage in the refrigerator. They both sighed and sat down on the couch. Then Shippo came in with a basket full of berries and went into the kitchen. Kagome and Sango just kinda looked at Shippo and shrugged their shoulders again. They heard dishes clattering in the kitchen. Kagome stood up and said "I am going to check on Inuyasha and Miroku." "Ok..." Sango said and leaned back against the couch. Kagome went outside and looked down off the porch. She smiled as Inuyasha looked up at her. He smiled back then looked back down at his work. She sat down on the wooden rail again and sighed. She watched them clean up the meat. Shippo came out and tugged on Kagome's sleeve. She looked down at him and smiled. "Your noodle thingy is done." he said. She heard that and giggled. "Thank you Shippo." She turned around then went inside and Shippo sat on her place on the rail. She grabbed a couple hot pads and opened the oven. There was a circular shaped pan covered with tinfoil under her Mac and Cheese. It smelled really good. Kagome took out her noodles and set them on the stovetop to cool. Kagome went back outside and sat down next to Shippo. She looked down at him and said "Whatever you are cooking, it smells really good!" Shippo smiled and Kagome did shortly after too. Finally, Inuyasha and Miroku were all done cleaning and cutting the meat. "Kagome?" Inuyasha yelled up to her. "Yes?" "We need some of them Ziploc bag things or whatever you call them." (A/N: ZIPLOC! ^-^) "Ok, I will be right back." She smiled and got off the rail and went inside. Inuyasha smiled and said to himself "What a girl..." Miroku heard that and nudged his elbow into Inuyasha's side and smirked. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and turned away. Kagome returned a few moments later and started climbing down the ladder. She almost lost her footing, but caught herself again and made it to the bottom. "How many do you need? I brought the whole box." Kagome asked. "Not sure..." Miroku said. "Well...here..." Kagome said and set down the box next to the meat. "She started to walk away when Miroku asked "We could use a little more help..." Inuyasha jabbed him in the ribs and said "She is a girl, why would she want to do something like this?!" "So you are saying that just because I am a girl, I can't put meat in a bag?!" Kagome said. "No! Kagome, I didn't mean it like that..." Inuyasha said, his eyes wide. "I know you didn't." Kagome said then walked over next to him and kissed his cheek. "I will help." Kagome rolled up her sleeves and took a bag. Inuyasha and Miroku just watched her as she started to put the meat in bags. She looked up at them and said "Well, come on...I am not doing this myself!" Inuyasha and Miroku grabbed a bag and started bagging the meat too. (A/N: Bagging meat? Don't ask me. My dad did it before when he caught a deer...sooo...yeah ^-^)
Sango lied on the couch and smelled something wonderful. She stood up and went into the kitchen. She opened the oven and smelled deeply. Then Shippo stepped in and said "No peeking!" Sango shut the oven quickly and turned around and put her hand behind her head and sweat dropped (A/N: That was a long sentence! O.o...ok, ok, back to the story...). Sango slid away as Shippo watched her carefully.
Kagome, Inuyasha, and Miroku were finally done bagging the meat. "Ewww..." Kagome said as she looked at her hands. Then she looked at Miroku with the same kind of grin he gets when he gets perverted. She walked over to him and hugged him. He looked down at her with wide eyes. Inuyasha growled but she faced him and winked. She rubbed Miroku's back and hugged him tighter then let go. She quickly put her hands behind her back and said "I better wash my hands now...uh...see ya!" She ran to the ladder and climbed up it quickly. Then once she was inside, Inuyasha busted out laughing. Miroku looked confused. "Do you know why she hugged you?" "No...but-" Miroku was still very confused. Inuyasha smiled widely. "She was messing with you, she just wiped her hands on you!" Inuyasha fell on the ground laughing as Miroku turned around and looked at the back of his WHITE shirt. Miroku suddenly looked angry. "Well now you can haul all the meat up to the house!" Miroku said and smirked then started climbing up the ladder. Inuyasha frowned but then smiled again when he saw the back of Miroku's shirt. He picked up a few bags of meat and looked back up at the porch thingy.
Kagome washed her hands and noticed Miroku came in angrily. She bit her lip when he stomped upstairs. "Miroku, honey, what's wrong?" Sango asked and followed him upstairs. Then she saw the back of his shirt and giggled. He turned around and yelled in her face "IT'S NOT FUNNY!!!! JUST GET OUT OF MY FACE YOU BAKA ONNA!!!!" Then he stomped into his room and slammed his door. Sango stood there stunned and then walked downstairs slowly with a blank look on her face. "Sango?" Kagome said. Sango sat down on the couch, still with that blank look. Kagome joined her and said "Sango?" Sango didn't say anything. "Sango?" Shippo said and sat on the floor in front of the two girls. "I-I have never seen M-Miroku act th-that way before...." Sango said, her voice shaking. Kagome and Shippo didn't say anything. "He has never yelled at me like that before...he must really been angry..." A tear fell down Sango's cheek and she hugged her knees. "Sango...I am sorry..." Kagome said and looked sad. Sango just snorted at her. Even Shippo looked kinda mad. Inuyasha came in and kinda ignored everyone, then noticed Sango was crying. He set the few bags of meat down and walked over to her and asked "What's wrong Sango?" "Miroku is super angry...he yelled at me, called me a baka onna, and slammed the door in my face." she replied. Then Inuyasha looked at Kagome and kinda narrowed his eyes then stood up and went upstairs.
Kagome felt really bad and then she stood up and grabbed her backpack and left. Nobody noticed, Shippo had his eyes closed, Sango was crying, and Inuyasha and Miroku were upstairs. She climbed down and lost footing about half way and dropped her bag and fell on it. She stood up and dusted herself then grabbed her backpack again and left. (A/N: Kagome is weird sometimes *smiles widely* She is a very emotional girl...over-dramatic. JUST LIKE ME *starts laughing insanely* *guards tie straightjacket even tighter* HELP!)
Inuyasha knocked on Miroku's door but there was no reply. "Come on Miroku, you don't have to be this upset!" Miroku just snorted at him from inside his room. "Fine then!" Inuyasha hissed then stomped away. He went back downstairs. Then he came to his senses and noticed that Kagome was gone. He looked around the house, but she wasn't there, then he noticed her backpack was gone. He grabbed his Tetsusaiga and left. He jumped down off the porch and tried to sniff her out, but somehow, it wasn't working. "Kagome!" he yelled and continued walking.
Kagome heard Inuyasha yell out her name. She then started to run through the forest, trying to avoid all the trees and roots. She tripped over one tiny root and fell to the ground. She stood back up and shook her head and started running again. "I shouldn't be here, all my friends are mad at me...I just wanna go home!!!" She yelled to herself in her mind. She jumped over a log and almost fell. She came back to her senses and continued running.
"KAGOME!!!" Inuyasha yelled again, walking at a fast pace through the forest. "Kagome, where are you!?" he yelled again.
Kagome ran and ran. Then her shoe came untied and she fell forwards onto a thorn bush. "OW!" she yelled and stood up quickly. Her legs and knees were scraped and her right arm was bleeding from the thorn bush. The sting brought tears to her eyes, but she started running again.
Inuyasha heard her yell and then smelled her blood and tears. He started running faster and her scent was getting stronger.
"I can't stay here, all my friends hate me, I don't even belong here..." Kagome said out loud to herself. She continued running until she didn't notice a cliff and almost fell down it. She stood there wobbly and held out her arms for balance then finally caught herself and took a few steps backward. She was breathing hard, out of breath. She looked at the cliff and ocean and got a serious face.
Her scent was getting stronger and stronger each step Inuyasha took. Then he came to the cliff and saw Kagome at the end of it. "KAGOME!" he yelled. She spun around and looked at him. "Kagome, I looked everywhere for you, why did you run off?" he asked and took a step closer. "Stay back!" she yelled and took a step backwards towards the cliff and felt she was at the end. "Kagome, what are you doing?!" he yelled after she took a step back. "Leave me alone Inuyasha!" "Kagome, why are you acting like this?" His voice seemed a little calmer. "I don't belong here, I am going home!" she yelled, her voice fiercer this time. Inuyasha's eyes widened then said "How do you think you are going to get home?" "I am sure this is just a dream!" She fell to her knees and started crying. Inuyasha was at her side in an instant. He sat down on the ground next to her. "Kagome..." He grabbed her arm and pulled her into a tight embrace. "Inuyasha...what happens if this IS a dream and I DO wake up?" she asked wearily. Inuyasha just hugged her tighter. "Inuyasha, I wanna go home...I miss my family..." She pulled away and stood up. He stood up too. "I don't wanna be here no more, I don't want to be your friend anymore, I am sick of it, I wanna go home and live a NORMAL life, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Inuyasha looked like his heart was shredded up into a million pieces. His whole expression changed after she said that. "Kagome I-" he stopped suddenly and looked down at the ground, his bangs shadowing his eyes. Kagome just realized what she had said and her eyes widened to the size of tennis balls. "Inuyasha, I never meant it like that..." "What did you mean then?!" he said, still looking at the ground. "I uh-um..." He could smell the tears forming in her eyes. She ran over to him and grabbed his arms. "Inuyasha..." He pulled away and looked up at her and yelled "GO home, see if I care! I don't want to see you anymore either!!!" He ran off into the forest. "He had tears in his eyes..." she said out loud to herself. Then the tears that were forming in her eyes finally took control and started streaming down her face. She wanted to kill herself. She just ruined their relationship, and it was all her fault.
(A/N: I should stop there, but I feel a little generous today, so I will add a little more ^.~)
****Back At The House****
Shippo finally opened his eyes when the timer went off. He grabbed hot pads and pulled his dessert out of the oven and turned off the heat. He set his dessert on the stovetop next to Kagome's dish to let it cool. Then he noticed Kagome and Inuyasha were gone. He walked up to Sango and sat in her lap. She looked down at him with red wet eyes and slightly smiled. Shippo smiled back up at her and hugged her and said "It's ok Sango..." Sango hugged him back and said "Thank you Shippo..." "My dessert is finally done!" Shippo announced proudly. "Ok...good, I am kinda hungry..." Sango smiled again. "Do you know where Kagome and Inuyasha are?" Shippo asked. Sango looked back down at him and shrugged her shoulders. Shippo yawned and look at the floor. Sango stretched out and sighed. Then they both heard a thump come from upstairs. "What was that?" Sango asked as she looked up at the ceiling. Shippo shrugged his shoulders and said "It was probably Miroku...he is the only one up there, I think...or maybe Inuyasha and Kagome." Sango and Shippo looked at each other with wide eyes then at the same time they said "NAH!" They both sighed again at about the same time. Then Sango and Shippo stood up quickly and headed towards the front door.
Kagome stood at the cliff, tears still streaming down her face. "Inuyasha...INUYASHA!!!" she screamed and fell to her knees again. She held her head with both hands and cried her heart out. "Inuyasha, I never meant it like that, I love you..." she said knowing that he didn't hear it. She was really planning to kill herself. She stood back up and walked over to the edge of the cliff. She dropped her backpack and bow and arrows and closed her eyes. She placed her hands behind her back and lifted her foot. She was leaning forwards, about to fall then two voices yelled "KAGOME, STOP! DON'T DO IT!!!" But it was too late, Kagome started falling forward off the cliff. Sango and Shippo ran to the edge. "KAGOME!!!" Then wind blew fiercely and started to bring Kagome back up. Sango and Shippo looked behind them and there eyes widened. It was...
************************************************************************
