Chapter One: First Chance

Inuyasha sat on the hill that overlooked the small village with his sword in the nook of his arm. He had been sitting there for the last two days trying to figure out what he had said that was wrong. All he did was tell Kagome that if she didn't start growing up more he would throw her back into her own time himself. He didn't uinderstand why she had left, what was she so mad about?

-------

Meanwhile Kagome sat in here room in her own world not allowing anyone near her. Not like anyone wanted to go near her when she was this angry. Her thought were going over what Inuyahsa had said to her earlier, what did he mean by start growing up? She wasn't a child. She was a young lady, who was just trying to help InuYasha and everyone. She took a deep breath, trying as hard as possible to calm her nerves. Maybe she just overreacting too much, no she wasn't it was all his fault!

-------

"InuYasha you will go get her this instant!" Miroku and Sanga stood over InuYasha as he sat on the hilltop.

"Why do I got to do it?" InuYasha replied trying to ignore Shippo biting his arm.

"Because its your fault she left InuYasha!" Sango yelled into the half-demon's ear. "Sooooooo, GO GET HER!" Sango's voice hurt InuYahsa's sensitive dog ears.

"Fine, if it will make you stop yelling, I'll go get her!" InYasha cried backing jumping to his feet. "Shippo get off my arm."InuYahsa raised his arm so that the fox demon would be eye level with him. "Now." InuYasha growled. Shippo let go of InuYasha with his teeth and fell to the ground. InuYasha made his way slowly towards the well that led to Kagome's world. He then turned to Sango, Miroku, and Shippo. "I am doing this why?"

"Because she's our friend."

"Beacuse you need her to find the jewel shards."

"Beacuse you love her..." The last reason was muttered silently by Miroku. Who right after found the sky very interesting. "Well then we best leave you to go get Kagome." Miroku then turned and was followed by Shippo and Sango.

Sango turned around for a moment and stopped. "Don't come back without her InuYasha." Was all she had to say. InuYasha just growled and mumbled a few things under his breath as Sango turned back around and walked away.

InuYasha jumped into the well and followed it through till he arrived in Kagome's realm. He looked upwards at the ceiling of the well hosue. His noise twitched at the smell of food. He jumped from the well and onto the dirt that surrounded the well. He quietly crept up the steps and slid the door open to exit the well house. The sky was paling and turning into a redish tint. The sun was slowly sinking under the horizon and little sound was being made by the birds. InuYasha starined his ears to listen, his dog ears picked up the stirring of food in a pan, and the heavy breathing of a certain girl in her room. 'Great she's asleep.' He thought to himself.He stepped out into the cooling air of duck and slid the door to the well house close behind him.

He leapt onto the roof of Kagome's house and headed towards her room. He could hear her breathing, but she wasn't asleep he noticed. 'Why the hell is she crying?' He could now make out the faint sobs that Kagome was trying to hide. InuYasha was very cautious as he approached the young girl's room, he peeked into her room to she ehr on the floor with her face buried in a pillow. Her black hair was wet and Kagome was still wrapped in a towel from her bath. Her pajamas were sitting on her bed, still folded, waiting for her to put them on.

InuYasha hesitated as he stared into the room, he didn't know if he should enter or not. Kagome shivered a bit as a light breeze blew in from her open window. Yet even the chill of the air didn't move her, and she remained sitting on the floor, sobbing into her pillow. InuYasha decided to enter, he softly landed on the floor of ehr room and quietly removed his kimono from around him. He edgeed over to her and gently placed his kimono over her, Kagome was shocked as she felt a warm cloth being placed upon her. Her head jolted up and her tears came to an end.

"You'll catch a cold if you sit in front of an open window soaking wet, you know." InuYasha said, his eyes were wandering about the wall above her bed. He was trying to keep his eyes away from Kagome, as she wasn't dressed properly.

Kagome turned her head to see the Silver haired half demon and one word came to her mind. "Sit!" inuYasha went face first into the floor. kagome quickly opened her closet door and hid behind it. She, of course, retrieved her pajamas from her bed in the process. Behind the safety od the door she changed into the clothing and emerged fully clothed to find InuYasha sitting on her bed rubbing his nose. "What are YOU doing here InuYasha? I thought I had to grow up, so if I am such a child what do you want with me?" Kagome looked at InuYasha who just glared back at her.

"I came to bring you back Kagome." Was his only reply as he continued to rub his nose.

"And if I don't want to go back?"

"Then I have to drag you back."

"InuYasha!"

"What?!"

"Never mind." Kagome turned her back to him and stared at the wall. "You wouldn't care anyway, you never care."

"You want me to apologize don't you?" InuYasha looked at Kagome who had her back to him. "Well I ain't going to." He turned his head away from her and looked at the ceiling.

"Then I won't go anywhere." Kagome said a snobbish tone.

"But Kagome..."

"InuYasha sit boy!" InuYasha was thrown face first into Kagome's mattress. After a moment he pulled his head up and glared at her back.

"What was that for?!" InuYasha cried.

"For being so stupid!" Kagome turned quickly to look at him, tears forming at the corner of her eyes.

"Kagome..." InuYasha looked at her, a worried look flooded his eyes. "Kagome why are you crying?" Kagome wiped her eyes to remove the tears that were forming, but it was no use.

"Why do you have to be such an idiot InuYasha? Why?" A tear rolled down her cheek as she continued to stare at InuYasha. InuYasha stood from the bed and walked over to Kagome. He reached to her, he now was sorry. "Don't touch me!" Kagome screamed as loud as she could. InuYasha'a ears rang with the high pitch quality she had screamed but he didn't falter. Instead he quickly grabbed hold of her and brought her into a tight embrace. He held her firmly, yet gently, she seemed frail in his arms.

"I'm sorry Kagome, I'm sorry..." Was all InuYasha could say for a few minutes. After those words were spoken they stood there, Kagome wrapped in InuYasha's arms. "Kagome... I have to tell you something." InuYasha was now turning a shade of red. Kagome looekd up at his face, her tears were now dryed and she felt safe with InuYasha's arms wrapped around her.

"What is it InuYasha?" She looked at him, confusion written all over her face.

InuYasha faltered for a moment before her continued. "Kagome I lo..." At that moment the door slammed open and Souta, Kagome's little brother entered the room.

"Hey Kag its time for...." Souta stopped dead in his tracks when he spotted the half demon with his arms holding his older sister in a kind embrace. "Am I interrupting something?" He asked with a smirk forming. Kagome and InuYasha looked at him and then at each other. Both their faces turned a deep red as the jumped back from each other.

"No, nothing is going on Souta." Kagome said as she pulled her bag out from her closet and began packing it. Souta looked at her with confusion. "Souta take InuYasha downstairs, I'll be down in a minute."

"Okay, but sis, what are you doing?" Souta asked as he was heading back to Kagome's open door.

"What does it look like I am packing to go back to the feudal era. There are jewel shards we still need to find, right?" Kagome said glancing at InuYasha. 'What was he trying to say?' She thought to herself. 'It couldn't be... or could he...no that impossible.... unless he does really.....ugh stop thinking Kagome you'll give yourself a headache!' She screamed in her own mind. InuYasha was staring at Kagome for a moment, before he was pulled away by Souta and out of Kagome's room.
