Chapter 10! Bababababaaaaaaaaaa! I never though I would ever get this far, yet here I am! Ok, this chapter may be pointless not sure. Amber the maid will be returning, just not this chapter! Sorry, she's such a great character! Btw, Someone asked if she was Ayame. No, she's not. She's my friend PD and KGIM who earned a cameo.Lolz! Ok, also it seems with every chapter I write I'm added to someone's faves list! Yay! Also, I got a review in Spanish I think. Can someone tell me what it means? Also Inuyasha might be little OOC this chapter, but hey! Who cares?
Kagome set the inside a small drawer, closed it. That was very kind of Inuyasha to say sorry, she thought. He must be sick. Kagome laughed, and it caught in her throat. She was laughing at herself, when no one else was around. She was such a nerd. All of this humour made Kagome quite energized, but she didn't know why. She was about to pull open the door, when there was knock. She opened it slowly, and peeked at the person on the other side.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome lifted her eyebrows in surprise, and opened the door fully.
"Hi. Want to go for a walk?" Inuyasha asked.
"Why?" Kagome narrowed her eyes in suspicion.
"I need to talk to someone, and I didn't know anyone else." Inuyasha was blushing. Kagome felt a small throbbing in her stomach. Why did her insides all feel they were being punctured from the inside whenever she was with Inuyasha?
"Uhhh, sure." Kagome agreed. She went over to the closet, and opened it. She gasped. Inside, there were a ton of beautiful kimonos and cloaks, each were a different colour, and style. Kagome grabbed a green cloak, and left the room with Inuyasha. She followed him without saying a word, and he led her outside, to his favourite tree. He jumped onto a branch a few feet above them.
"Coming?" He looked down at her.
"Yeah, I'll just jump a couple of feet, and be right with you." She said sarcastically. Inuyasha glared, and jumped back down.
"Ready?" He asked.
"For what?" Inuyasha picked Kagome up by her middle, and leapt into the branches. He took her to one near the very top. It was wide and flat, perfect for sitting. Inuyasha sat Kagome down, and she took in a deep breath. The skinny moon shone bright in her eyes, and she could see the lake, the cliff, the forest, everything. It was breathtaking.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha looked at her.
"Yeah?" Kagome replied, still mesmerized by the view.
"Can we talk?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome shook her head.
"Of course. What do you need to talk about?" Kagome looked straight at him. She listened better when she looked at people. (A/N I do that. Can't listen to people unless I'm looking at them!)
"Well, it's about Kikyo." Inuyasha looked at his hands.
"What about her?" Kagome looked intent.
"It's just that… I don't know. I just don't want to marry her. I know she loves someone else, and I don't want her to give that up because of me." Inuyasha confessed. Wow, Kagome thought. Under all his gruff, cold exterior, Inuyasha is just a kind hearted soul. She smiled. Her stomach began to hurt more, and she let out a gasp.
"Inuyasha, why are you telling me all of this?" Kagome asked.
"Because everyone else just says it's my duty, and I needed to talk to someone. I really don't want to marry, but there is no one else I would even consider marrying." Kagome felt disappointment at his words. But why? She asked herself. It's not like she wanted to marry Inuyasha. Maybe it was because he was only talking to her about personal things because everyone else thought he was just being silly. She was a last resort. Grr, just when she thought Inuyasha was decent, he had to go and blow it.
"Please let me down." Kagome said curtly.
"Why? Please… Stay…" Inuyasha pleaded.
"No, obviously I'm just a last resort. I don't have to take this." Kagome stared at him furiously.
"No… you're not… I'm sorry." Inuyasha was desperate. Kagome softened her expression.
"Ok, I'll stay." Inuyasha looked uncomfortable, and she laughed. "Hey, Inuyasha?" She whispered to him.
"Yeah?" He replied.
"Are we friends?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha stiffened.
"I guess… Hey, do you want to take a walk to the beach tomorrow?" Inuyasha asked.
"Sure." Kagome felt like she was forgetting something. Oh, yeah, she was supposed to be mad at Inuyasha. "But I dunno, you might tell someone." Kagome stiffened. Inuyasha looked puzzled. Then, he remembered.
"Oh, don't start that again. Look, I never told a freaking single soul! Ok?" Inuyasha cried.
"Ok." Kagome replied. Inuyasha knew, without her saying, he was forgiven.

Kagome woke. The room seemed to filled with a grey light. Today, it was raining. Perfect, she thought. I love the rain. Kagome's eye twitched and the whole room seemed to darken. She looked around, not trusting the darkness in front of her. She felt different, like she had that night on the beach. The beach… Naraku?
"Naraku?" The word made her feel cold.
"Yes?" The voice turned her insides to ice, and Kagome shivered. She was silent. What should she say?
"Why am I here with you again?" Kagome asked.
"I've come to remind you of your promise, Kagome." Naraku snickered. "One week has passed, and only three remain until the night of the full moon. Can you complete the task?" Naraku was being patient, but he did not like how this girl asked so many questions.
"I'm not sure. How can I make the jewel materialize? I don't have a true love or anything. I'm not even attracted to anyone." Kagome thought aloud.
"I'm sure you are. Have you felt a pain in your middle?" Naraku asked. Kagome gasped. Could there be a connection between her throbbing stomach and her love?
"Umm… Yes." Kagome admitted.
"That's the jewel trying to get out. When you feel a connection or an attraction to someone, its power is very weak. When you commit an act of pure selflessness for your true love, then it will be strong enough." Kagome winced. She tried not to think of how the jewel would exit, if it was trying to push its way out. But it only hurt around Inuyasha. Inuyasha was the furthest thing from Kagome's dreamy true love, so Naraku must have had his facts wrong. But who else then?
"Naraku, what will happen if it won't come out?" Kagome asked. "I beg you to please not take my family and friend's lives. Could there be another option?" Kagome pleaded.
"I suppose, but it would be at you own personal cost." Naraku proclaimed.
"Fine, ok, whatever." Kagome said quickly. "Can I leave now?" Kagome asked.
"Of course, you could have left whenever you wanted." Naraku smirked, and the room brightened. Kagome let out a sigh, and looked the window to the evanescence of the morning mist.(he he I love Evanescence)
IIIIIIII
"Adieu, my love!" Miroku cried. Sango let out a gasp of disbelief, and grumbled. That was the fourth girl Miroku had 'charmed' today. It was actually quite sickening. He stumbled along, and Sango ran to catch up with him.
"Nice girl, she is." Miroku said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, I guess so." Sango mumbled.
"What's wrong my dear?" Sango felt dirty. Miroku's 'dear'. Yeah, right.
"Nothing." Sango replied, looking at her feet while she walked.
"It's not nothing." Miroku argued.
"Fine. Like how can you do that?" Sango asked, sputtering.
"Do what?" Miroku asked, looking interested.
"Like make all these girls believe you're in love with them." Sango explained.
"Like this." Miroku whispered to her, and he started walking towards her, backing her into the wall. Sango flushed a little, but remained cool. Miroku leaned against her, and he whispered in her ear.
"Sango, you're the most special woman I know. I love you." Sango blushed harder, and she felt very weak in her knees. Miroku leant his head towards hers, and his lips hovered over hers, almost touching. Then, he laughed, and pulled away.
"See? Easy isn't it?" Miroku chided. Sango was furious. She lifted her hand to smack him, and he caught her wrist. He planted a small kiss on her wrist, and another on her cheek. Sango was bright red now, and Miroku dropped her hand. He started to walk away, humming to himself.
"Coming?" He laughed. Sango gave a little squeak in reply, and followed him.
Ok, so that ends chapter 10! Yay! Ok, well last chapter some people were like what was the point? This chapter some people might say the same, but every chapter is important I promise you! Sometimes, it's not all action, but the developing of characters. Know what I'm saying? Of course! Review!
