Something's Wrong With Kagome
"Are you sure you're okay, Kagome?" Sango asked her friend.
"Yeah, I'm fine Sango," she replied, "but I need to go cool off by the river."
"Okay, you go do that," Sango said. Kagome got up and left the hut. 'Something's not right,' Sango thought.
Kagome was splashing water on her face at the river in the forest when she heard a familiar voice. "Hello, Kagome. I've been waiting for you," Nitsuki said, jumping down from a tree branch.
"Ni-Nitsuki!" Kagome stammered. "How do you know my name?"
"I know many things, just like I knew you'd come here," he said, advancing on her. "Kagome, ever since I saw you, I can't stop thinking about you." Their faces were inches away.
"Well, you can't have me. I'm InuYasha's," she replied, looking down. He embraced her, then kissed her. 'What's happening? Why can't I pull away?' she thought. She closed her eyes and accepted what was happening.
Nitsuki broke their kiss and said, "We can do this later. I have some business to take care of."
"Please don't leave!" Kagome said, hugging him tight. 'Why did I say that?' she thought.
"Don't worry, I won't be long," he reassured her. She reluctantly let go of him and he left.
"Kagome!" InuYasha yelled. Kagome turned in the direction of his voice. He appeared from the trees after a few seconds. "Kagome, it's getting late. You don't want to be out here when demons appear," he advised.
"I'm fine," she said in a very irritated tone of voice.
"What's wrong? I'm just looking out for you," he said.
"I can help myself! I don't need you babying me!" she yelled. 'Please help me!' she pleaded in her mind. She walked past him, hitting his shoulder with hers. InuYasha followed her after a "Feh." escaped his lips.
Back at Kaede's hut, Kagome ate her dinner alone, instead of with InuYasha like she normally did.
"Kagome, what's the matter?" Sango asked.
"Nothing, why?" Kagome said.
"You've been keeping to yourself lately. Anything happen in the forest?"
"No," was her reply as she got up and left. She went to a nearby tree and leaned against it. "So, when should I meet you?" she whispered.
"When everyone's asleep," came a voice from the shadows.
"Okay." She walked back to the hut. She got in her sleeping bag and pretended to sleep. Soon, everyone else was asleep. Kagome got up when she thought the coast was clear. She left the hut and walked towards the forest. InuYasha opened his eyes and looked at the door. He got up and followed her at a distance.
When Kagome was deep enough in the forest, Nitsuki jumped out of the trees. He walked up to her and kissed her. Her scent of was so strong to Nitsuki, that he couldn't smell InuYasha, who was behind a tree about 50 feet away.
"I missed you," Nitsuki told her.
"I missed you too," Kagome said in a monotonous voice, as if she wasn't all there. 'InuYasha! Help me!' she cried inside.
"Kagome, I want you to be my bride," Nitsuki said.
"I'd love that," she replied. 'No I wouldn't!' she thought viciously. InuYasha was watching, stunned. He turned and quietly fled to the hut. He was in shock. How could his Kagome love someone else? He sat down and pretended to sleep. He heard Kagome enter and fell asleep.
