I'm back once again dear reviewers. After a (counts on fingers) three month abscence I have returned with a new chapter. I've got a really bad headache right now so im just gonna start the chapter.

Disclaimer: (rubs temples) Why do you even bother to ask. Don't own Inuyasha or any of its characters and I don't own the last name Minamino (from YYH). Bye Bye.

Chapter 5 : Coping With The Present

When Inuyasha arrived at Kagome's house he found the door locked and all the curtains closed. " Kagome?!" He asked anxiously while knocking on the door. " I-Inuyasha?" Kagome silently answered from somewhere behind the door. Inuyasha let out a relieved sigh "Are you okay? Let me in." Inuyasha could hear Kagomes' soft footsteps as she walked to the door and unlocked it.

The first thing Inuyasha saw when the door opened was Kagomes' tear-stricken face. His arms encircled Kagome as she cried into his chest "Oh, Inuyasha! I've been so scared." Stroking Kagomes' hair, Inuyasha led her inside and onto her couch. " Kagome, please you have to tell me whats wrong." He pleaded in a soothing voice. Kagome pointed to the coffee table where a piece of neon orange paper laid. A horrified look crossed Inuyashas' face as he stared down at the letter. The paper was neatly creased in three different places as if to fit in an envelope and was upside down on the table. Still holding Kagome he slowly reached for the letter...

2 blocks from Sango's aparment

A scream pierced the mid-afternoon air. Five minuets later sirens could be heard around the block as police cars and ambulances made their way to Minamino park.

At Kagome's house

As Many times as Inuyasha looked over the letter he could not believe what he was reading. This was almost an exact copy of the letter Kikyou recieved over a year ago.

(Flashback)

Inuyasha and Kikyou had been living together for almost two weeks now and it was pure bliss. They thought nothing could go wrong until that fateful day.

One morning while Inuyasha was still sleeping, Kikyou decided to go through the prior days mail. ' Hmmm, bill, bill, ,junk, bill. Hey what's this?' She held up a white envelope with her name written on it. The envelope had no return address and the ink in which her name was written in was smudged, as if someone had spillied some water droplets on it.

Carefully Kikyou opened the envelope to reveal a carefully folded piece of neon orange paper. When she unfolded the paper it revealed a message made up of cut out newspaper letters. It read ' Dear Bitch, Stay away from Inuyasha or meet you demise. This is your first warning. P.S. We're watching you.' At this point Kikyou was freaked out beyond belief. She frantically ran into hers and Inuyashas' room and shook him until he awoke. ' Ki-Kikyou? Honey, what's wrong?' Kikyou handed Inuyasha the letter and held onto him as if her life depended on it. After reading the letter Inuyasha called the police and held Kikyou until they came.

(End Flashback)

By now Kagome had calmed down and had stopped crying but she still held onto Inuyasha. Inuyasha lightly raised up kagomes head so that he could look into her eyes. " Kagome, don't worry. I promise that no one will hurt you. I promisse that no one will ever come between us, ever" With that Inuyasha had made a promise that he would keep for an eternity.

And thats where I'm going to end it for today folks! And now that I feel loads better I'm going to work on chappie 6. See Y'all Real Soon!
