NEXT CHAPTER

Kagome was so worried about Inuyasha. She just could not comprehend why he had done something like that. It made no sense, did it? It had been two nights since the incident, since then there was nothing else. There was no sign of Naraku or the jewel shards. No monsters,demons, Kouga, nothing. All Inuyasha did was sit up in his tree sighing and snapping at anyone who tried to talk to him. Miroku had a few slaps from Sango. Sango just practiced with her harai kotsu. Shippou was evidently bored since he was hanging all over everyone. She herself had caught up on her studies and the next morning she was heading for home. It was Saturday night, she wanted to spend Sunday at home, get a good night's sleep, then on Monday take her three tests that she had to make up.

Inuyasha's mind was still racing. He doubted that he had shut his eyes since his dream. He didn't know if he was afraid or nervous. He looked up to the sky, dimming, just a few clouds, a few stars shone. As he cool breeze swept lightly across his face kagomes scent caught his nose. this calmed him down a great deal. He relaxed so much more than he had for a while now. Her scent a what wonders her scent held. It reminded him of strawberries, sweet, juicy strawberries. He had always liked strawberries, but her scent of strawberries was different, a little stronger, yet so gently soothing. He slowly closed his eyes though it was early at night, he felt himself go into a wonderful sleep. He awoke to find that it was later into the night and everyone was now seeping. He looked up again to see cloudy skies and his ears picked up the sound of thunder in the distance. A cool drop of water landed on his hand. then one on his head, then hand again, foot. Pretty soon the rain was coming down harder and saw that everyone had gotten up and walked towards some trees. They all looked so tired as they watched the rain.

The group looked up to see the hanyou still sitting up in the tree. As the rain began to fall harder Kagome sleepily called out to him.

"Inuyasha! Why not come down here? It's a lot dryer than up there in the tree."

He decide to take her advice and leapt from the tree and landed next to her.

"Oh Inuyasha look at you. You're soaked, your cute little ears are all droopy." Kagome said still very sleepily as though she didn't know she was saying it, but she did.

"Here" Kagome began to rub his ears like she always did.

"Hey stop that." Inuyasha protested pushing her arms away.

"Ohhh what's wrong with you?" she pulled out a towel and began to rub his head to dry his hair. She was rubbing quite hard and seemed to be enjoying this as she was laughing. Everyone backed up to give them some room. When they started laughing Inuyasha once again protested.

"Stop it!" he pushed her arms down. This time everyone was immediatly laughing estatically. His hair was pointing in all different directions and seemed to have spiked out with some extra fluff. Inuyasha took the towel and shredded it into small pieces.

"Inuyasha! How could you do that? It was my favorite towel and you just shreded it! You can never take a joke, Inuyasha." Kagome began to put a little bit of a angry face on and picks up the shreds.

"You know what Inuyasha?.......Ahhhh nothing you probably don't care!" Kagome walked off.

"Good job Inuyasha you know, you really are a jerk." Sango's commented before running after Kagome. Miroku once again walked over to Inuyasha.

"You should talk about what happened. You really seem on edge. Why not tell me or Kagome myabe we could help."

"What are you my mother?? I do not need to talk! I need to be alone!" Inuyasha walks off into the rain.

Sango soon catches up to Kagome.

"Kagome are you ok?" Sango questioned hopefully trying to make Kagome feel better.

"He is such an idiot. I was just having some fun; it was all just to be funny. All I wanted to do was make him laugh after two days of nothing but bitter sighing and moping. Especially since I'm going home for two days. I just wanted to leave knowing that maybe if he was happy I wouldn't be hurried through my house to leave exactly when he says."

"Well if you knew how he acted while you were gone you wouldn't mind him going to get you."

"What do you mean?"

"All he does is sigh and mope around. Kind of like he has been just not over a dream. He must really miss you Kagome, we all do. He will never admit it though the most he will say is that he's bored because he can't go find the jewel shards."

What was she thinking doing that? Making me look like a fool in fromt of them. Inuyasha was thinking as he walked in the rain. His fuzzy spiked hair began to lay flat again. Maybe I shouldn't have shredded her towel like that. Now she's mad. The voice came back through his mind.

That is good Inuyasha, making her mad only works to my advantage. Inuyasha looked around.

"Is that you Naraku?! SHOW YOURSELF!!!" The voice answered through his mind.

So you have figured it out Inuyasha. It is me, Naraku, but you will not tell any of the others that......If you value Kagome's life.

"What? You can't do that!." Inuyasha said as fury grew within him.

Ah, but I can Inuyasha! I can kill Kagome any time I want. In fact since you're so thick headed I will give you a demonstration. Walk over to the bushes to your right. Inuyasha decided to try this. As he walked over a rabbit ran from it.

Watch! Suddenly the animal stopped and let out screams of pain as blood poured from every opening in it's head. It continued to scream until it's body fell limp on the ground. Then he heard a bird screech, and he looked up. Just as suddenly a bird fell with the same curse as the rabbit. It died in the same fashion.

I can make the same thing happen to Kagome if you like. As these words entered Inuyasha's mind, his face, a sudden look of terror etched into it, became slightly tear stricken as he thought of the same fate happening to Kagome. One tear fell down his cheek.

I will keep in tact with you until then Inuyasha......Do not tell anyone unless you want her death to come sooner. As Inuyasha heard these words his knees gave out and he fell to the ground. No longer crying but he was extremely upset. He just stood there. He didn't know for how long it could have been minutes, or it could have been hours. He didn't know or care all he could do is rack his brain trying to figure out how. Yet nothing could come to his mind.
