Summary: What lies within your heart is something strong as the emotion called Love. It is trust. "Do you trust me?" A ragged voice came behind as a single tear ran down a face and disappeared into the breeze of the cliff. (IK -- lime, romance, danger, drama, love, trust)

Trust
Chapter 1 -- Believing
Darkness drifted by as the wind blew through long smooth hair. A thump came at the end of bright light. A swift jump soon came and the outside was visible to the eye. Rain drops could be heard splashing upon the ground followed by the sound of thunder. Jumping once more, a tree branch came in site with a window not to far. A bright light was shining through, but no one seemed to be around. Soon after being lost in thought, splashing sounds could be heard from below. Someone was approaching. Dripping with water from head to toe, the person shivered while walking inside. Sounds could now be heard from inside. Foot steps were approaching a close door. The door knob was soon being turned open and Kagome Higurashi entered. Dropping her bag beside her bed and grabbing some dry clothing, she headed out to take a warm bath.
After a few minutes, the window was open and Inuyasha soon entered the room. He could smell Kagome all over. It made him feel funny inside, but gave him a calm feeling.
As he was lost in thought, he started hear noises outside the room. Disappearing out the window, Kagome appeared ready for bed. Inuyasha noticed that she was sad for she never noticed the foot prints beside her bed left by him. Laying on the bed, Kagome fell asleep instantly, however, Inuyasha was sure that he saw a tear run down her cheek.
Sango and Miroku waited all evening for Inuyasha to return. Finally he returned at sunrise. Back at Kagome's home, she woke smoothly. The sleep helped her. However, as she was stretching, she noticed the foot prints upon her rug. Opening the window, she looked from tree to tree, but saw no sign of him. Packing her bag, she left to the well and disappeared into the darkness to arrive in Feudal Japan.
Voices were heard as she landed on the ground. With one hand extended, both Miroku and Sango helped her up. "I noticed that Inuyasha came to my place last night."
"Yes. He went to check up on you, but by his expression, it seems that something did not go as planned." replied Miroku. Kagome was unsure what he was trying to do. Was Inuyasha hurting as much as Kagome was from that night?
Arriving back at the hut everyone was staying at, Kagome noticed Inuyaha sitting up in a tree. He glanced down at them as they entered the hut, but never moved. Kagome sat her bag down and then reached for a lolly pop for Shippo before heading back outside.
Inuyasha was half way asleep when he heard Kagome step outside. She turned towards the forest and soon started heading off. Grabbig his sword, he silently followed. Kagome was sitting by a stream letting the cool water roll over her feet. "I wonder what his real reason for coming was. It wasn't for me. I am sure of it." she whispered.
Never to her notice, did she know that Inuyasha heard every word. He decided that he just had to tell her. Carefully Inuyasha approached, but as he was a small distance away, a youkai jumped out. Kagome quickly slid away and noticed Inuyasha battling. The youkai moved it's claw. Inuyasha dodged, but it's second time hit. A deep scratch was upon his shoulder. With the pain acking so hard, Inuyasha was unable to grip his sword. The youkai took another chance, but was destroyed quickly. Kagome shot an enchanted arrow to save him.
When the youkai was gone, she quickly headed over to Inuyasha. His face, however, showed a different emotion. One Kagome never saw, but as she stopped in front of him, the same expression came over him. With one word, Kagome was able to treat his wound and return to the others.
Sango and Miroku were sitting outside as Kagome came back. Her expression was not happy, but disappointing. "He can be a real jerk." she shouted.
Sango watched her storm in and then noticed Inuyasha returning with half of his white undershirt on. Both Mirou and Sango were shocked. Quickly, he knew something was wrong, however, as he tried to get a word out a loud "sit" was heard. Inuyasha face was red with anger. Throwing his sword and his red haori, which was in his arm, down onto the ground, he stormed inside leaving both Miroku and Sango speachlish.
"Damn it Kagome. Knock it off. I am sorry you are mad at me, but I wasn't going to hurt you."
"Ha. Your expression was so different and then it was like who cares. Maybe you were going to do something. Now get OUT."
"I am not leaving till we settle this. You're still mad about Kikyou and I. Nothing happened." Inuyasha was now squatting down infront of Kagome. She felt a little scared and reliefed at the same time. Never has she seen him this mad. Usually he would let it go, but not this time. His eyes showed a glare that she never saw before.
"What if I am still mad about it? You don't know how I feel and there is nothing you can do about it."
"Oh yes I can." Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's arm and pulled her off the ground. Sango and Miroku both looked up when they heard the sound of the door. Inuyasha came out with Kagome by the arm. Placing his arm around her waist, he leaped into the trees and started running across the cool forest ground.
After what seemed like hours, he started to slow down. Letting her go, he roughly walked behind. Kagome and Inuyasha were at the same place Kikyou and him were at before. "I think this will prove everything."
Kagome started to back away. Slowly, she moved with one step at a time. She was unsure on what he was talking about or what he could do. Inuyasha just followed her slowly. His arms were crossed and his eyes showed no emotions. With a quick movement, she took the chance to run. Inuyasha took one leap and grabbed her at the arm forcing her to stop. Her lips tried moving, but he prevented it by placing a claw across her trembling lips. "I wouldn't say the word." His voice was dark. It terrified her and that happen to be a first.
Kagome dropped to her knees as he let go. He turned away from her as she stared at the ground. Slowly, she tried to crawl away. When she was sure that he was not looking, she crawled faster. As she listened, she was sure she heard the movement of fabric.
Inuyasha quickly grabbed her at her shoulder and force her to stand up. She kept her face away from him, however, soon he made her turned to face him. As she looked at him, she noticed something different. It was correct that she heard the sound of fabric. Inuyasha had removed his white undershirt. She glanced over his shoulder and noticed it laying on the ground. "Inu...yasha. What are you doing. This is not like you." Her voice was trenbling as she looked into his eyes.
Inuyasha never responded to Kagome. He looked at her with a look of determination. His eyes showed anger and fear. He showed no care or any emotions that Kagome knew him of. The silence went through the air for a while before he grabbed her hand. He placed it across his stomach. Kagome felt something upon his skin. It was a light scar.. A confuse look was the only emotion upon Kagome's face. "Plenty has been done. When I came to the forest, I wasn't expecting to see Kikyou, but as I left, we were attacked. She was wounded across the chest and I across the stomach. I was dressing her wound."
Kagome dropped to the ground feeling like an idiot. What he said to her made sense for the wound was still there. When she looked up from the ground, she noticed him walking over to his white undershirt. He picked it up and put it back on. "Lets head back."
Lifting Kagome up, both returned to the hut. Miroku and Sango were once again outside. Both had a confused look on their face. Sango was the one who decided to ask. "Something must of happen, but we won't ask."
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome's calm face. She was starring at the ground while he had a look of confusion on his face. "Nothing happened. We had a fight." said Inuyasha picking up his red haori. Kagome headed inside without saying a word.
Inside the hut, Kagome sat down on the ground. Wrapping in a blanket and pulling her knees closer, she thought about what happen. It's true that she has seen Inuyasha mad before, but he never turned on her like that. If he did, he would ignore her. Never would he force her to come out into the forest. Shivers still ran through her body as she thought about it. Standing up, she walked to the door. Once again, Inuyasha was sitting in a tree. His face showed a strong emotion, however, what emotion it was, was hard for Kagome to determine.
Inuyasha turned his head towards the hut as he saw her disappeared back in. He noticed that her face showed the expression on the night in her time. His heart acked. He did not want to hurt her. However, what else was he suppose to do. Be happy about it. No. Kagome force him to do what he had to do, but now he felt hurt. He really did not want to hurt her.
Jumping down, he headed inside the hut. Kagome was sitting in a corner wrapped in a blanket. Her eyes were closed and it seemed to be that she was asleep. Inuyasha just sat across and soon he was fast asleep.
