3: Jealousy or Anger?

I was wagging my tail a lot the next morning. I couldn't get him out of my mind. InuYasha had the bits for me and he liked me! Only because we had a lot in common and I was really nice. He couldn't stop staring and sitting in a high tree either, he was lovestrucked. I never thought I would meet a boy and a half-breed like me! And a dog better... At least he treats me well... And I wonder what happened to Kagome...

When InuYasha was near me, he got nervous that I would kiss him in front of everyone. That's why he stayed away from me. And when Kagome came, things just got hectic. "Hey everyone." she said to everyone except InuYasha. She noticed me but I didn't know what the big deal was. Then I asked the person next to me. "Kirara. Is Kagome always this happy?" Kirara looked at me and then she responded, "Mew mew mew mew!" I chuckled and then I said, "Ha ha! Is that it? Meow mew meow meow! Mew mew mew! Mew mew, mew mew! Meow meow!" I said with a chuckle. Kirara meowed and then she chuckled kitty.

I mewed then and then Kirara went back to sleep. I wandered the forest looking for InuYasha and then I found him. "Found ya!" I said cheery. Then InuYasha jumped, "Hey! What are you doing here? I thought you were back in the village!" he told me with a nervous smile. Then he backed up, "What's wrong?" I asked him. He frowned and then he sat down. I sat down next to him and he was too shy to say anything.

So then I started with a high perky attitude. "So! What did you today!" I said looking at him, I scared him a bit. Then his mood turned from scared to calm. "Nothing. I didn't do anything today..." he finally spoke out. I giggled and took out an apple that I snatched from the garden of a villager without him looking. I took a bite out of the apple and then I asked InuYasha, "Want a bite of it?" I said with my mouth still full.

"Here, you can take a bite out of it.. Hm... It's good..." I munched on the bits of pieces. I still offered him the apple and InuYasha took it from her hand. He looked at it and then I pushed him to take a bite, he frowned and took a bite out of it. "Hm, hm, yum yum, this is good! It's fresh!" he said, "A bit better than ninja food, but alright!" He said with a smile. I chuckled and then I was glad of him.

In the village, Kagome offered everyone a piece of fresh corn. And then everyone grabbed a corn from her pack, then InuYasha went to go get one but Kagome ran out of corn. Then she handed me one cob of corn. InuYasha frowned and then he sighed, "I don't care..." he said and then Kagome was still angry, not being nice nor sympathetic. I then offered him a piece of the corn, "Want a bite?" I asked him, handing him the corn. "I don't really want it, the apple was much tastier."

Kagome looked at me and then at InuYasha, he was grateful when I gave him the corn. Kagome grew furious and she went back into the hut of Kaede. Everyone stared at Kagome and then back at InuYasha and me. "What?" I told him, they all went back to their delicious corn. Then I sat on the ground hungry, I just wanted InuYasha to be part of the fun. Then he said, "You can have the other half of the corn."

Everyone grew surprised to what InuYasha just said. Shippo choked and then he almost gagged the corn but he remained calm, Miroku almost threw up and Sango was just staring into space. She looked like she was dead and she never came back. But I just ignored everyone else and took a piece of corn from the cob. "Thank you." I told InuYasha.

InuYasha was happy with me. Kagome's problem? Maybe she was looking for the bathroom. I sighed and then I went in Kaede's hut. "Hello? Kagome?" I asked for her, Kaede was patting her on the back as Kagome looked unhealthy and gloomy. I sat down and then I asked, "What are you moping about, Kagome?" I asked her with a curious look.

Kagome sighed and said, "I had a fight with InuYasha..." she lied. She was still surprised and astonished that I came up to her, she thought I knew about her and InuYasha. But I didn't. "So? He looked fine to me yesterday..." I also lied, not wanting to tell her what really happened. I blushed and then I stopped when Kagome said, "Hehe, Natsumi, you seem to always be cheerful, why is that?" she asked me.

I looked at her and then my ears perked. "Something's coming..." I said as I looked at the door. Kagome gasped and then she exclaimed, "I feel a strange demonic aura!" She said and then I caught a feel of it too! I raced outside and then Kagome as well and Kaede came out too. "What in the world is that? Ye see it, don't ye?" Old lady Kaede exclaimed with astoundment.

I saw it, a pack of Saimyosho. "What are those?" I asked, not knowing why bug demons were here. "Those are a pack of Saimyosho! The bugs that Naraku has in his castle! They're his messengers and his soldiers too!" Kagome said with worry. InuYasha got out his sword, Tetsusaiga and then he growled, "You stupid bugs, why the hell are you here!" he swung his sword and created the Wind Scar.

He got some of the bugs, but some were still in packs. Lots of them. "Naraku?" I answered, "Who just in the world is he?" I asked with impatience. "He's the one who has most of the jewel shards with him! He is an evil half-demon like you but when he a new moon has struck, he generates power and doesn't become a weakling like you guys!" Kagome said with fear.

Suddenly a pack of the bugs started heading towards us, I gasped. And then InuYasha already had his trouble set. Kirara and Sango were trying to beat the other Saimyosho yet they were too busy so were Miroku and Shippo. InuYasha took notice and then he shouted, "Kagome! Natsumi!" he said with alarm.

I got my claws out and said, "Swipes of Death!" I then slashed through five flying bugs at once. InuYasha smiled and then he got back, Kagome smiled too. "That was awesome, Natsumi!" she complimented me. I then landed on the floor, "It's not over yet..." I said looking at the sky. There was something in the air, floating on a feather.

Then I noticed a figure on the feather. It was a woman with a kimono that was magenta and white, and a yellow sash she wore around her waist. She was looking down at us with a strange look, she was staring at me and thinking. "Who is that? Is it a good guy?" I asked, Kagome gasped. "It's Kagura!" she exclaimed.

InuYasha growled and then he turned up to the sky, "That stupid witch, die!" he said as he aimed his sword up the sky, then he said, "Backlash Wave!" he corrupted and then he aimed up the attack at her. Kagura took notice and then she got out of the way, "InuYasha..." she said with a temper, "Dance of Blades!" she shouted as she swung her fan around.

Kagura's attack headed for InuYasha, but he quickly dashed out of the way. Miroku took notice and then he got ready for his ultimate attack. When the Saimyosho weren't looking, he got his rosary out of the way and had his right hand shot up to Kagura. "Wind Tunnel!" he shouted and then some of the Saimyosho took notice and they quickly got in the way, Shippo glared at the bugs and then he warned Miroku, "Miroku! Cover your Wind Tunnel up!"

Suddenly Miroku stopped his attack and then he covered his attack up with the holy rosary. Abruptly, Miroku took the bugs out of the way with his staff. The bugs hit the ground and were dead. There were still some bugs in the air, guarding Miroku to see if he did anything else. Kagura laughed and then she flew farther away. But she didn't keep her eyesight away from me.

"That girl... Who is she?" Kagura asked herself. I snarled and then I had a secret attack behind everyone's back. I cupped my hands closely and then I shouted a short and fast spell, "Soo soo sooo!" I shouted and aimed it at the starnge wind girl. Then without noticing the strange red light beam coming towards Kagura, it hit her.

"Ahhhh!" she shouted and then she lost flight of her feather. "What did she do to her?" Sango asked as she had finished slaying all of the Saimyosho. InuYasha was stunned and then he raced towards Kagura. Kagura groaned painfully and she just realized she was on the ground. "Wha... Huh? HEY!" she said as she was being picked up by the back.

Then she gasped, "InuYasha!" she said surprised. InuYasha snarled and then he started some interrogating, "What the hell were you doing here?" he asked her sternly. Kagura was a bit afraid and confused, yet she kept her calm. "I was obviously spying on you... Naraku just ordered me to go spy on you and that new girl who's with you..." she said with her teeth baring at InuYasha.

I bared my teeth back at her too. I also hissed as she was glaring at me. "What do you want from her? She hasn't done anything..." InuYasha backed me up. I frowned and then Shippo was on my shoulder. Kagome was listening to the conversation. "Why don't you just go back where you came from!" InuYasha said angrily.

I blushed of InuYasha's hot temper and braveness. Kagome looked at me and then she frowned, with her bow and arrow in her arms. She was about to shoot my head off, she could've just now. But instead, she just stayed calm like Kagura. Kagura suddenly got let go of from InuYasha's clasp and was on the ground, shocked.

Did he just do that? Did he just let me off with a warning? Kagura blinked her eyes to see if she was dreaming. Kagura frowned and then she backed off, "If I catch you here, one more time, Kagura, I swear, next time, you'll be in the ground by the time I'm through with you..." InuYasha told her, Kagura listened to his remark and got nervous.

Then she grabbed her feather from her hair and got on it, as it transformed into a huge hover. Then she flew away back to Naraku's castle. Everyone was amazed how InuYasha handled the situation, Miroku then asked InuYasha as he was walking fast and at a good pace, "Are you really going to let her go? What if she comes back?" Miroku asked.

InuYasha didn't look at him but sneered at the ground, "Like hell she would ever come back, she knew what I was gonna do to her. She was unarmed and she was helpless, she knew she couldn't go anywhere... Natsumi shot her down and she got her." I heard him as I was walking back to the village, Kagome wanted to be talked of, not me.

She didn't want me to be talked of nor did she want InuYasha to be seeing me or talking to me, again. Kagome stopped and then she said, with her hands down her waist, "InuYasha..." she growled, InuYasha suddenly stopped. He blushed and then he turned around just to find himself with a new bruise on his face. Kagome had thrown a rock to his forehead and I went to go help him.

"Aw! InuYasha!" I said as I treated his bruise or bump. I looked at Kagome and then I sneered at her, "Why'd you do that to him? Why do you keep messing with him!" I blurted out and then everyone halted to see the mess. Kagome pointed at herself, "Me? Why are you blaming me that! You're the one InuYasha keeps talking of, I just had a fight with him between him and me about another boy!" she exclaimed.

Sango frowned, "Another boy? Why didn't I hear that this morning, Kagome?" she asked. Kagome had tears and then she said to InuYasha the last time, "InuYasha, you jerk. Why do you like Natsumi all of a sudden? It is because I'm meaner than her? Is that it? Am I not the right one!" she cried and then she ran all the way to the well and she ended up jumping in it without saying anything else.

I checked InuYasha's forehead and then everyone said, "We'll leave you two alone!" They all said with redness coming across their faces. Then they ran away back to the village. I frowned and then I said with a sad gloomy look, "Did I do something wrong?" I asked InuYasha. InuYasha blushed and then he said, "No!" he blushed, then he looked the other way, "It's just that... Kagome likes me first. And then you had to come and ruin it, she was going to apologize to me for acting the way she acted... yesterday." InuYasha confessed to me.

I thought for it a moment and then I caught on. "You meanyou and" I said, "Kagome?" I said with a desperate look on my face, "Why didn't I know?" I said with tears too, InuYasha then said, "No! Don't cry..." he said with his hands up. "Why didn't I know? I'm such a dope... I always have to be the one to steal the boys away from the other girls... Why didn't I know that you and Kagome were..." I then curled up into a ball.

"Oh I'm so sorry! I didn't want it to be like this! I just thought... thought... that you were single! Not that Kagome and you are... lovers..." I said sobbing with my head on my knees. InuYasha sighed and then he put his hand on my head, his hair was touching my hair. I then looked up at him, "What are you still doing here? I thought you liked Kagome!" I told him as I was still concerned.

InuYasha smiled and then he said, "I don't care about her anymore... I don't want her in my life anymore... I'm through with her..." he said shyly. I looked into his eyes and then I said, "InuYasha... Are you saying, that... You like me?" I answered, still crying. Then he put his finger on the tip of my eye, where my tears were rolling down, then I sighed.

He wiped the tears away from my eyes and then he did the same on the left eye. I put my head down after he did that and then he told me, "Don't cry. I'm right here... Half-breed." I looked up at him and then I said, "Shut up..." I giggled a bit with a half-smile.

Then InuYasha got up and then he held his hand out. "What?" I looked at his palm and then I got the idea now. I grabbed his hand and then I gulped in my soarness of my throat. I looked at InuYasha and then I said, "Thank you..." InuYasha then said, "Why am I doing this all of a sudden..." he said to himself and I listened. "Are you sick of that girl Kagome?" I asked him. "No... I just all of a sudden... Don't want her anymore... She's better off with that boy, Houjo or whatever his name his..." InuYasha said as sakura petals came down from the trees.

I sighed and looked at the sky, so sunny and blue. "Want to go somewhere? Just not have everyone staring at us..." I chortled. "Sure." He responded my question. I grinned and then I pulled his hand the opposite way. "Alright! I'm ready to go somewhere fun!" I said with a fang coming out of my lip.

InuYasha blushed and then he said, "Okay..." Then I dragged him to the special place.
