A/N: Thank you for all your reviews; it seems I'm getting better with my updates eh? Well I've been in a good mood and been wanting to update all my stories, although that might be because it's either I update or study for exams… I pick UPDATE!
OniyuriGaaru: thank you for you concern and you suggestion, of whatever you want to call it. The only reason I made Kagome faint twice was because from what I recall when Inuyasha turned full demon he passed out at the beginning and the end. With that note Kagome is a women, not that women are not as strong as men, some are but Kagome JUST became a half demon, she's not use to so much fighting so she stays fainted AFTER her transformation just a little longer then Inuyasha did in the previous episode. But thank you VERY much for your review and suggestion. I hope you will continue to read this story and like it. As well please send in any more suggestions you may have.
"Speech"
'Thoughts'
(Me annoying you while you're reading the story)
LAST TIME...
Miroku nodded hoping on Inu along with Shippou. He sighed as Inu flew up; he turned sensing a dark aura. Turning back to Sango he smiled as they road next to each other.
"Hum, Inuyasha and Kagome are growing closer. Naraku would like to hear of this." Kagura turned seeing the monk stare at her. She ignored it knowing at the moment he wouldn't be going after her. She flew up on her feather along with Kanna towards Naraku's castle. "If the group becomes stronger, we'll have to be more careful.
A strange figure stood behind a tree as she watched all the events that occurred. "Kagura is right, Inuyasha and Kagome are growing closer witch doesn't help my plan. But it will work; my powers are to powerful for them to break it." She smirked as she repaid her plan in her head. "Inuyasha will leave Kagome coming back to me, very soon. Once that happens I will destroy Naraku." The shadowy figure then disappeared from the battle ground.
THIS TIME...
"So Kagura, you're telling me Inuyasha and Kagome are growing closer?"
"Yes master, I've also noticed that the closer the group gets the stronger they become."
Naraku smirked, "It must be their will power, but did the half demon really forgive that foolish girl for throwing his precious present away?"
Kagura nodded, "It seems like he has master."
"Very well, I want you to keep a close eye on the group. I order you now not to attack unless I give the order."
"Yes master Naraku"
"I'm fine you old hag!" It was finally the next day and Inuyasha had been up already. Keade, trying to help heal his wounds herd of the events that happened the previous night. Ye are not Inuyasha, Kagome's attacks are brutal. Not only where they demon attacks but a miko's as well, it's a surprise you even survived."
"Shut up you old hag, that wrench can't do anything to kill me." He replied his golden eyes traveling over to Kagome. She still hadn't waken up from Kagura's attacks and he was beginning to worry, though he wouldn't show a hint of that emotion.
Shippou sighed shaking his head, "It's alright granny Keade, when Kagome feels better she'll tend to his wounds. He only let's Kagome help him heal."
Inuyasha let out a small growled, "Shut up"
Shippou giggled a touch knowing if he said this next thing he would be dead, but he just couldn't help himself. "There's more proof that you only say shut up"
Inuyasha growled even louder, trying to hold in his anger. Banging on the wall he stood up giving Shippou a glare. "Okay that's it you little twerp get your sorry little ass over here so I can rip your small little stupid head off!" He yelled beginning to chase Shippou out of the hut.
Sango shook her head, "Miroku go get them. I'm busy tending to Kagome"
"Of chores my dear Sango. Anything for you my sweet."
Sango pulled her hand back, "Miroku just go" She watched Miroku beginning to walk out of the hut and sighed when Keade requested something from her. "You can watch Kagome on ye own Sango?" Sango smiled at Keade, "Of chores I can, we'll be fine."
Keade nodded, "Can ye send Miroku and Shippou when they return, I may need some help."
Sango smiled again, "Yes of chores Keade, don't worry" She watched Keade. Her brown eyes traveled over to Kagome's unconscious body. She soaked the cloth in a bowel and placed it on Kagome's forehead, she herd yelling from behind her and sure enough it was Inuyasha, Miroku and Shippou. "Miroku, Keade needs both you and Shippou."
Miroku stroked his chin, "So, the old women's finally wanting some, and with two none the less."
Sango's eyes widened, she stood up and walked over to Miroku knocking him on the head, "That's disgusting Miroku! In front of Shippou too, you'd better leave before I do more then hit you!"
Miroku looked up at Sango's angry face actually seeing fire surround her, "Um… right… let's go Shippou." He called running out of the hut with Shippou in his arms.
Sango took a deep breath once Miroku was gone; she kneeled back down beside Kagome and stayed silent along with Inuyasha. She turned her head towards the two neko demons curled up next to each other in the corner. She smiled a small smile, 'They look so cute together' she thought as she continued watching over her close friend.
((I believe Kirara's a male, but in my story she's a female alright? Please bear with me.))
She turned back to Kagome seeing her cloth needing changing. She turned to the water bowel and noticed all the water was gone, not one little drop left. She turned to Inuyasha; sighing she stood up and walked towards the paper door, "Watch her will you?" She turned to face him hearing him snort. She laughed, "I'll take that as a yes." She then lifted the flap with the bowel in her hand and walked out leaving both hanyou's all alone.
Once Sango had left Inuyasha stood up and walked over to Kagome. He sat down beside her and stared at her without blinking, as if he didn't want to miss one thing about her. He closed his eyes thinking to himself. 'I'm sorry Kagome, I failed to protect you. I shouldn't have let you run a head on your own. I-It's all my fault that you turned into a full demon. It's pain full to wake up and smell blood all over you, knowing you did something terrible but can't remember what it was. Damn it why can't I do anything right? I hurt you all the time.' He opened his eyes staring back down that the hanyou lying motionless below him. He closed his eyes once again, "I'm so sorry."
"S-Sorry for what?" came a weak voice.
Inuyasha's eyes twitched, slowly opening his eyes he saw Kagome beginning to wake up. He searched for words in his head to say something but nothing came, "Umm… Kagome you umm… feeling better?" He said stumbling on his words. Right there he felt like banging his head on the wall.
She smiled just a bit, "A bit thanks but how did I get like this?" She thought trying to get up. Inuyasha jumped out of his seat ready to catch her if she stumbled. She smiled at his concern. She had her hand on her head having a big headache. That's when it hit her, 'My locket, I ripped it off, how… how could I?' Her hand traveled to her chest as gave a big sigh of relief feeling it there.
Inuyasha was puzzled by her thoughts but shrugged if off. He sighed leaning against the wall when he felt a warm touch on his right cheek. His eyes snapped oven, looking to the right he saw Kagome; she'd gave him a small peck on the cheek. His hand traveled over to his cheek rubbing it softly as he listen to her soft words. "Thank you"
"For what?" He asked removing his hand from her cheek.
"For getting my locket back."
"How did you know?"
"It's just a feeling"
"What kind of feeling?" He asked eyeing her.
She smiled, "A happy feeling."
"And that makes you happy?" He asked still not understanding these feelings she spoke of.
"Of chores it does silly, why wouldn't it? I mean you did give it to me after all, how you were able to get it is still a mystery to me."
He snorted, "You don't want to know, and you never will." He looked at her unable to figure out the emotions that crossed her eyes. He sighed deciding to tell her right there and then. "Kagome… there's something that I need to tell you, it's very important.
She nodded looking right at him, "Yeah, what is it?" She asked politely. She stared with her amber eyes confused. She didn't know what to expect, but she seemed to catch some kind of fear in his eyes. She couldn't help but wonder what he was so afraid of. He eyes traveled down to his hand seeing it begin to go to her chest, she began to panic.
Inuyasha laid his hand on her chest where her locket hung around her neck, "Like my Tedsiga ((sp? I kept forgetting how to spell it)) the locket keeps your demon blood locked inside you. How? I don't know, all I know id you must keep this on at all cause. I beg you Kagome, it… it pained me to see you like that, I didn't like it, I was beginning to get scared, scared you would never come back… to me."
Kagome's eyes widened at the words Inuyasha spoke to her. She couldn't help but let a signal tear fall. She didn't know why but she wanted to jump into his arms and hug him, never letting go. She blinked back the tears and smiled placing her hand on top of his on her chest. "I'm sorry, to make you worry like that, and I promise, I won't ever take it off. Not that I would have before." She smiled a sweet smile putting her hand on her lap along with his. "Thank you Inuyasha, for your concern."
Suddenly Sango walked into the room. She looked down seeing Kagome hand in hand with Inuyasha, "Uh, am I interrupting something?" She asked.
Inuyasha ripped his hand away from Kagome answering before she could, "No!" Right after he said that he stood up quickly walking out of the hut, hitting the paper door knocking it down.
Kagome sighed watching him walk out in his usual temper. "Is he alright?" Kagome herd Sango asked. She shrugged her shoulders starting at the door as the paper swung side to side from the wind. "I don't know I really don't."
Sango sighed following Kagome's gaze to the door. 'It must be what he saw in Kanna's mirror, but I though he was better about that.' Sango fought over weather to tell Kagome about her little adventure as a full demon. Her gaze turned over to Kagome's damaged wing. 'I guess I'll tell her during our next bath.' Sango knew it was coming up soon, but she felt as though she could tell anything to Kagome during her bath. It was odd, it was like a place for girls only, where they could relax and not care about a thing in the world. She looked up at Kagome seeing her friend still in a daze, "Kagome, how are your wounds?" She waited till her friend realized she asked a question.
Kagome snapped out of her thoughts, she laughed just a bit, "Being a hanyou has its perks."
"And your wing?"
Kagome nodded, "Right it still hurts, but it's getting better." She answered with a bright smile. She twisted her body in order to take the bandage off her wing. She smiled once it was off. She noticed Sango staring at her with a puzzled look. She closed her eyes as her wings folded back into her back. "This will help it heal."
She smiled as she looked at Inu along with Kirara walking up to there master. Kagome smiled rubbing Inu's ears, "Inu, how are you?" she asked. He just purred and Kagome couldn't help but laugh, "You know, you're a lot like Inuyasha." She then leaned over whispering into Inu's ear, "Today we'll start training." Kagome lifted her head smiling and Sango knowing Sango was curious at what she told Inu. Kagome looked back up to the broken door as her ears twitched.
"MOMMY!" cried a happy little Kitsune.
Kagome got pushed back a little from the impact of Shippou's hug. She smiled looking up seeing Keade along with a perverted monk walk in. "I Kagome, ye child are feeling well?"
Kagome nodded, "Yes must better thank you all" She placed Shippou down gently and signaled Inu to fallow her. "Were just going out for a walk, we'll be back soon."
They all looked at her with worried eyes, Sango decided to speak up for all of them, "Um, are you sure that's a good idea Kagome?" She knew the last time Kagome and Inu went alone they got attacked.
Kagome nodded, "I know all of you are concerned but I'll be fine, I'm stronger now and I know I'll be fine. I promise I won't walk off to far."
Miroku sighed knowing Kagome needed the fresh air to clear her thoughts, but what he didn't know was that wasn't the reason for the walk. "Just be careful Kagome."
Once leaving the hut Kagome sniffed the air, "Alright, time to train." She said with her fists in the air. She couldn't help beginning excited, just talking about it made her pumped up.
Inuyasha came back from the little place he sits at every time he needed time to think. Walking in the hut he noticed right away the absence of the hanyou. "Where's Kagome?" He asked as everyone looked up from what they were doing. Sango took a deep breath deciding to answer. "She left with Inu for a walk about half an hour ago, she should be back soon."
Inuyasha stared at Sango, "WHAT! And you let her go out there! You idiot, she's injured enough what are you doing sending her to her death bed?"
Sago jumped at the sudden outburst of Inuyasha. "Inuyasha she'll be fine, she's with Inu and I'm positive that our young hanyou is stronger." Miroku answered trying to calm him down.
But that didn't stop the furious half demon. He raced out the hut, whatever was left of holding the flap of the door up was now broken. "Stupid girl" He mumbled to himself as he raced towards Kagome's scent. "She's still injured and yet she still goes out with that stupid dog demon into the forest. What id something happens to her and I'm not there to protect her? Gods please let her be alright" He stopped dead in his tracks sniffing the air. His eyes grew smelling her sweat, "That makes no sense, she can't be sweating from just walking, damn she must be fighting!" He began running again picking up his pace. He stopped to the spot not hearing a sound. He scratched his head confused, 'If she were fighting I should at least hear movement.' Suddenly he felt someone tackling pinning him to the ground.
She blinked a couple of times, "Inuyasha, is that you?" She asked confused.
"Kagome are you alright?"
"Um, yeah why wouldn't I be?"
Inu then emerged from the bushes in his true form with black clouds on his feet and at the end of his tail, like Kirara. He growled at Inuyasha thinking he was a demon about to attack Kagome.
Kagome laughed a little, still on top of Inuyasha. "It's okay Inu, It's only Inuyasha." She said slowly getting off of him.
Inuyasha sat up and rubbed his head. "What the hell are you doing out here? You should be resting not going for one of your girly little walks! Damn it, why are you far away from the path I mean-" He was cut off by Kagome, "Training"
Inuyasha stopped turning to her, "Training? What do you mean?"
"I mean training, as in trying to build up my strength to become a better fighter. Inu's helping me out here. Now that I'm a hanyou, I mine as well learn how to fight like one."
Inuyasha stared, his words caught in his throat. He didn't know what to make of this. Even since he has known Kagome he's never really seen her as the type to fight. Sure once and a while she showed some evil fighting spirit in her, but she was never the type to kill someone. But what bothered him the most was Inu, 'Inu? Why him? Why didn't she ask me? I could have trained her way better then this excuse of a dog.' "Why didn't you ask me?" Inuyasha asked finally getting the courage to ask.
Kagome was surprised by his question, she thought even if he did want to help her he wouldn't ask why. She thought his pride was to big for that, "The answer simple, because I didn't want to be embarrassed from one of your stupid snobby answers like 'you wouldn't last on minute'" She answered standing up, brushing some dust off her pants.
He looked at her amber eyes and sighed knowing full well he probably would have said that. He slowly stood up beginning to look out towards the distance as he thought to himself. 'Why do I want to train her so badly? It makes not sense'
'That's because you want to help her to defend herself in case your not there, that and you want to be alone with her.'
'Feh! Stupid human side, who asked you?'
'You did you idiot!'
'I'm not the idiot!'
'You are you're the one talking inside your head.'
'Shut the fuck up you bastard!'
Kagome looked around her surroundings while Inuyasha fought with himself and noticed Inu had left the two alone. 'Great, where not done training for the day and he leaves me with mister I know everything. Maybe I should ask him if he'll help me train. I mean it would be easier seeing as Inuyasha speaks my language.' She looked up at the male hanyou beside her and sighed, "Will you train me?" She asked.
Inuyasha snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Kagome's voice. "Sure" He replied calmly. Kagome was shocked by his sudden calmness until he said his next line. "Come on, we don't have all day!" She nodded following him back out to the open field.
When they both entered the open area the walked to opposite sides so they were able to face each other. Inuyasha began to show her a couple moves to be offensive. He smiled, she was learning pretty quickly. "Not bad Kagome, for your first time that is."
Kagome smirked, "Thanks, I got a great teacher."
"Yea, yea save your suck ups for Miroku. Now from everything I taught you, you'll use it to attack me."
She giggled forming a plan in her head. "Alright" She smirked getting into an offensive stance. She waited for Inuyasha to give the count. Once he did she launched herself at him. Jumping up as she got closer to him she flipped over his head now facing his back. She noticed he was one step a head of her and smirked at him as he turned to face her. "Sit!" She yelled. Kagome laughed seeing him face first on the ground. She put one foot on his back and clapped her hands together shaking it from size to size as though she won a tournament.
Inuyasha jumped up knocking her over. "First off, that was WAY unfair, and number two never keep your guard down, even after you think you've won."
Kagome laughed, "But I specifically remember you saying when fighting a strong opponent I should use anything to my advantage."
Inuyasha's eyes grew as it triggered his memory, "So you ARE listening to what I'm teaching you."
Kagome nodded, "Of chores, you think I'm here to sit…" She paused as Inuyasha fell to the ground, "Whoops, sorry." She waited for Inuyasha to get back up, "as I was saying S-I-T here and kick you ass?"
Inuyasha's brow rose, "Kick my ass eh? I don't think so Kagome."
"Where are Kagome and Inuyasha?" She wondered looking out the door.
"You have noting to worry about Sango, Inu told us Inuyasha's with Kagome, she's perfectly safe with him."
Sango eyed Miroku, "Oh really, and how exactly did Inu tell you this? Do you all of a sudden speak dog?"
Miroku scratched his head, "Well you see, I've kept it a secret for quite a long time, but I can really speak any language."
Sango stood up and knocked him on the head, "Yeah right stupid pervert."
Miroku stood up looking up at Sango seeing worry in her eyes. "What if they get attacked by a demon? Or one of Naraku's demons? Oh my gosh!" She cried going on and on.
Miroku sweat dropped, "Sango…"
"Let's go Miroku!" She yelled dragging him into the forest.
As the battle continued on, Kagome was unable to get a signal punch in. Inuyasha smirked jumping back, "Nice try Kag, but you're just to slow."
Kagome's eyes grew getting out of her fighting stance, "D-Did you just call me Kag?" She asked in shock.
"Uh… I-I guess I did." 'Damn it!' He said cursing himself. Kagome giggled a bit and Inuyasha took a note of it. 'She's laughing?' "What's so funny?" He asked also getting out of his fighting stance.
"N-Nothing it's just… I never thought… you would give me a…a… nickname!" She tried saying between laughs.
"Feh, what ever. If you don't like it, I just won't call you that."
Kagome whipped a tear away shaking her head. "No, no it's not that. Its better then wrench it's just funny because I've never seen this side of you. Well actually I have but only with Kikyo." She replied staring at the ground.
Inuyasha sighed as the wind blew through both there hairs playing around with it. Inuyasha couldn't believe how beautiful she looked, he never noticed it before, but she truly did look beautiful. 'Kagome, no wonder you hate me' There was a silence for quite a while when an idea hit Inuyasha. "Before we continue with your fighting skills we should work on your speed. I know you can go fast, I've seen you. All you need is to find it inside you"
Kagome's head jerked up beginning to giggle again. She saw him give her a puzzling look, "Sorry just the look on your face when you said 'you have to find it inside you' It was way too funny" She then burst out laughing falling to the ground.
Inuyasha stood there tapping his foot, "Do you want my help or not?" He saw her getting up and nodded, "Alright here's what were going to do, I'm going to run and your going to catch me, once you do I have to run after you and catch you. Understand?"
Kagome nodded, "Like tag."
"Tag?" Inuyasha asked with a questioning gaze.
Kagome shook her head, "Never mind, let's go!" She called out to him. As soon as she said that Inuyasha raced off. She jumped noticing he left, "Hey! Get back here!" She called running after him. "Ill get you Inuyasha!" She called after him seeing him up a head. After about five minutes of running she was only about a meter away from him. She tried with all her might to push her self to go faster. Once she was there she jumped him tackling him to the ground. "Gotcha!" She yelled jumping up and running in the other direction. "I'll get you back Kag, just you wait!" He called after her.
After about another five to six minutes of chasing each other Inuyasha was finally able to catch up with her. "You may be good, but not better then me!" Kagome laughed, "You wish!" She yelled. Inuyasha jumped her tackling her to the ground, except they were on a hill. They rolled down the hill. Reaching the end Inuyasha ended up on top of Kagome pinning her down. There faces were so close there noses were touching. Kagome felt Inuyasha's warm breath on her skin. She felt a small little shiver going down her spin. She felt their lips brush's gently against each others until…
"Ahem" Sango spoke up trying to make both hers and Miroku's presence known.
Both hanyou's turned there heads looking straight at Miroku and Sango.
"I hope we didn't interrupt anything." Sango asked slowly beginning to walk away.
Inuyasha quickly jumped off of Kagome and turned his back to his friends not wanting to show any emotion at all.
Miroku stared with wide eyes, "Whoa Inuyasha how did you get Kagome under you like that you dirty little dog!"
Sango clenched her fist hitting Miroku in the head while yelling her favorite word. "PERV!"
Kagome sat up her hands in front of her shaking them, "No… no we were just training. Inuyasha's helping me out. To increase my speed he told me to catch him. Once I got him he had to catch me and we both tripped, thus why we were like that when you found us."
"SURE Kagome…" Miroku laughed looking to Inuyasha knowing full well he was listening. "Hey Inuyasha, you have to teach me that so I can teach Sango here."
"PEVERTE!" Sango yelled once again hitting him quite hard in the head. She smiled sweetly grabbing the monk by his collar. "I guess you guys were in the middle of something so I'll just take the pervert and head back to the hut."
"Uh… wait Sango, w-we were done anyways." She said still with a ruby red blush on her cheeks. She didn't dare turn to Inuyasha still embarrassed at the little episode they just had. Still thinking about the moment, she left Inuyasha with Sango and Miroku back to the hut.
Inuyasha took a deep breath, 'I can't believe we almost… I can't even say it. Did Kagome actually want to? I mean she wasn't stopping me.'
'Of chores she does! She likes you more then you think idiot.'
'You again?
'Yes, human you at your service!'
'Shut up and leave me alone!'
'Feh!'
'Hey, that's my word!'
'But I am you!'
'Your not the real me!'
Inuyasha herd no response and get frustrated, "Hey! I'm talking to you!"
Kagome looked back at Inuyasha, "Are you okay Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha never realized he began following Kagome and the others. "Feh!" He replied beginning to walk ahead of them. The girls shrugged there shoulders continuing to walk back to the hut.
Sango looked out seeing the sun beginning to set, "Kagome, you up for a bath?" She asked grabbing a towel that Kagome brought back from her time. It was pink, Sango's favorite colour.
Kagome nodded digging through her bag grabbing her own towel. "Sure, let's go!" She said once she had all her things. "Shippou, did you want to come along as well?" She asked the little kitsune.
Shippou nodded jumping up on Kagome's shoulder, "Of chores!" He cried happy to be involved in something the grown ups were doing.
Sango shot an angry glare at Miroku, "If Kagome's sniff's you out we'll make sure that you never see anything again."
"Yes Sango dear."
Sango grinded her teeth "Don't yes Sango dear me!" With that said she let him alone with Inuyasha.
Miroku sighed seeing the woman gone, he turned to Inuyasha noticing him deep in thought, "Don't tell me what Kanna showed you in her mirror are still bothering you."
"Feh, why would if?" He asked using his tough face. It was like a mask on him, he would never let if fall so everyone could it his emotions, he rather hide them behind a tough face mask.
"Inuyasha you truly are thick headed! Don't you get it? Kagura set up a trap; she wanted Kagome to loose control of her demon side. He must have said something to cause her to do that."
Inuyasha leaned against the wall, his fuzzy little white triangle ears twitched as he listen to the monk true words. 'Is it true what Miroku is saying? Was it really just a trap set up for us by Naraku? What was it that Kagura said to make Kagome act the way she did?' Many questions swarmed his head as he sat there thinking over yesterdays adventure.
Once the girls reached the water they stripped their cloths off and hopped into the water. The were silent for a while, except the little kitsune who was swimming none stop. Sango looked up at Kagome wondering if now, a good time to ask… "Um, Kagome?" She watched her dear friend look up with her amber eyes at herself. "Can I ask you something?" When her friend nodded she cleared her throat. "Well, if you don't mind talking about it, can you tell me exactly what happened between you and Kagura?"
Why do you ask?" Kagome asked taken aback by the question. She didn't expect anyone would ask her what happened; then again they did just find her lying there.
"No! I don't believe that Kagura! You're lying to Inuyasha to make them hate each other! It's all part of your plan to turn them against each other! I know it is!"
Kagura smirked, "You want proof? Then proof is what you'll get" She said in a calm voice. "Kanna!" She called. Suddenly Kanna emerged from the bushes. Putting here mirror out everyone saw Kagome's figure in the mirror. Watching with wide eyes, they saw what had happen with Kagome."
Kagome gasped, "Are you serious? T-That explains a lot."
Sango nodded, "Thought what doesn't make sense is why you said, 'she can have him for all I care' before you ripped the locket off."
Kagome paused as all the information sunk in, 'If Kanna showed that, then that means, oh no… Inuyasha had to see it and hear it. He probably thinks I hate him. That why he always had doubts that I disliked the locket. Oh Inuyasha I don't hate you, not at all.'
Her thoughts where cut off with a splash of water in her face. "Took you long enough to snap out of it."
"Sango, does Inuyasha think I hate him?" She asked wanting to know right away.
Sango sighed leaning on a rock, "Well, he seemed pretty upset afterwards, but after Kagura left and you became full demon he seemed to be too worried about you to care." Not knowing the young hanyou didn't know about her little adventure as a hanyou had a shocked face. Sango blinked a couples of times thinking it wasn't that shocking till she realized what she said, "Damn it!"
Kagome turned to Sango, Shippou still playing around in the water. "You mean…. That's why Inuyasha warned me, because I turned into my full demon form again?" She cupped her face in her hands and began crying.
Sango, with much concern swam over to her friend, "What is it?"
Shippou nodded swimming over, "Mommy, why are you crying?"
"What's wrong Kagome, giving up so soon? But Inuyasha would be crushed if he lost his shard detector. Who will help him find the shards once you're dead?"
But then again he can always get Kikyo seeing as he loves her so dearly. I mean remember the time, when you were gone and he didn't care, all he cared about was seeing Kikyo even if she threatened to kill him and they shared passion able moment under the moon while you hide behind the tree and watched like the little coward you are"
"SHUT UP!" Kagome's anger grew. Kagura's words affected Kagome just as she planned. "You're dead Kagura!" The anger in Kagome took over her mind, not being able to think or remember that she can't fly at this moment due to the control Kagura had on the wind. She looked at her target growling she flew up towards Kagura. Kagura smirked, "But you know it's true" She said sending her dance of blades at Kagome. Kagome trying to go right threw them damaged her right wing sending her back to the ground. Kagome stood up on her hands and knee's. Kagura landed on the ground next to her, smirking she decided to manipulate her more. "HE doesn't love you Kagome, you know he doesn't, you're just his shard detector. Once the jewels are collected he'll take it and go off with Kikyo. Leaving you alone, again"
Tears streaked the young hanyou's face grabbing the only thing the meant the most to her from Inuyasha, the locket. "I don't care!" She yelled yanking her locket and throwing it up. Kagura smirked grabbing the locket. "I HATE HIM! I HATE INUYASHA! She can have him for all I care!"
Kagura made a fake pouting face, "Oh, don't be so harsh"
"I knew it!" exclaimed Sango. "It was about Kikyo!" Kagome nodded tears still striking down her face. Flashes of Kikyo and Inuyasha flashed trough her mind. "I…I didn't know I transformed, is that how Inuyasha got his wounds?"
Shippou nodded, "But he's okay he's tough"
Kagome shook her head, she looked at her hands, she couldn't believe her own hands hurt Inuyasha. Kagome walked out of the water and sighed, "I'm sorry, I need to go now." She slowly lifted herself out of the water and began getting dressed, Sango fallowed along with Shippou. Kagome turned to them, "You don't need to as well."
Sango shook her head, "It's no fun without you."
Kagome smiled, "Thank you Sango, for everything."
Sango couldn't help but feel as though she should be thanking Kagome and the others. When her life went down, they where there for her and accepted her even after all she's did for them was cause more problems.
Kagome began walking back towards the hut. Her hand traveled t her forehead as she began feeling faint. 'Why do I feel this way? Why do I feel so dizzy?' Before she knew it she felt herself beginning to collapse to the floor. The last she could hear was her friend's feet running towards her calling her name.
"Kagome!"
A/N: Well that's all; this is the end of my chapter. Long eh? I hope you all enjoyed it and I will be updating as soon as I can. The only reason I made her faint… again is for good reason. So please don't hate me for it. Please R&R and tell me what you think… I will not be updating until exams are over, probably until Monday or Wednesday.
PEACE…………………………..SMOCH..............................................LOVE YEA!!!!
