Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha

Chapter 3

Last time:

Then a woman had bumped into Inuyasha. She mumbled a quiet and polite 'sorry', before walking quickly away. He never saw her face.

But he didn't need to, a familiar and never forgotten (What's the difference?) scent hit his nose.

'Kagome'

This time:

Inuyasha looked all over for her. But no matter he couldn't see her.

His shoulder drooping he walked into the inn.

Shippo must have smelled her too, for her ran out of the building and looked around frantically. Then, with a look of sadness on his face returned inside.

He looked at Inuyasha, a questionable look on his face. Inuyasha only nodded, saying that he too had smelt, and seen, Kagome.

Kagome had been walking. She was in a hurry. She had to get these herbs to Aya, the miko that she now lived with, quickly.

Of course she was side tracked when she saw Miroku conning the innkeeper.

' Holy crap!' she thought 'what are they doing here?'

A sad look crossed her face as she thought, ' Inuyasha.'

And wouldn't you know it? Speak of the devil and he shall appear!

Kagome waked smack-dab into Inu-boy himself.

Without looking up, for fear of seeing a look of hatred on her beloved hanyou's face, Kagome mumbled a ' sorry' and ran off.

When she reached the closest hut, she hid. Turning, to just being able to see him, she saw him looking frantically around.

' Why does he care if I'm here or not?" she wondered. ' Probably looking to kill me for Kikyo's soul. Just like he said she would.'

She sighed at the memory of Kikyo coming to her and telling her all about how Inuyasha was going to kill her to get her soul back. It was most likely untrue, Kagome knew, but she couldn't risk it. So she left.

'Ahhh!' she thought,' I need to get Aya these herbs.'

Inuyasha was the only one awake right now. Kikyo had fallen asleep soon after her 'meal' and everyone else was inside asleep as of an hour ago.

Inuyasha's only thoughts were on Kagome right now.

' Why didn't she say something? Didn't she recognize me? Or do I just disgust her? No! That cant be it! She traveled with me for months! Then, she left me. Why? Why?! Why! Didn't she know I cared, care, about her?! But why didn't she saw anything to me?'

Then Inuyasha heard the soft padding of feet on the forest floor. (Did I mention he was outside?)

He turned silently and watched as a dark figure walked off into the forest.

The moonlight hit the figure.

Kagome.
