– I know it's 'Kirara' in the Japanese version of Inuyasha, But in the English version it's 'Kilala'. Do you guys really care which version of the name I use? You all know who I'm talking about. If you have a problem, please, feel free to post it along with your review. –

Chapter 4 : Home again
Kagome screamed, which was immediately muffled by Inuyasha's hand.
"No, Kagome. They'll hear us!" He said, removing his hand. "It's just Miroku and Sango." He reassured her.
"Who!" She questioned, not knowing who he was talking about. This made Inuyasha smile and laugh quietly.
"Remember? I told you I met two people last year, Miroku and Sango? And they've been my companions ever since." Kagome's memory jogged back.
"Oh. I'm sorry for screaming." Kagome smiled at Miroku and the girl who he had his arm around. "And you too.." The girl smiled also.
"No need to be sorry. I'm Sango, and I see you've already met Miroku. But don't worry, behind his hentai exterior he really is a nice guy." Miroku scratched the back of his head, while embarrassingly chuckling.
"Sango, don't flatter me so." Miroku said, stroking Sango's hand.
– SLAP! –
"Baka. I know that wasn't my hand you were aiming for!" She glared, while rubbing her stinging hand, she had slapped him many times before. But since they were in the presence of such beauty, She thought it best to teach him a lesson for what he would probably end up doing to Kagome. Miroku was such a player.
"Gomen for Miroku, Kagome, And it's nice to meet you." Sango walked over and began chatting with Kagome, as Miroku took Inuyasha aside.
"Do you really think it wise to be around a girl when you're 'on the run' Inuyasha? I mean, you're not exactly honesty's 1 guy. You might end up breaking her heart and you know how much I hate seeing a girl in heartbreak." Miroku spoke in an actually serious tone.
"It's ok, Miroku. We share the same hardships. She'll be fine hanging with us." Inuyasha stared at Kagome as he said the words. He knew it would be dangerous for her to be with them, but he wanted her there, and he knew he could protect her.
"You're going to be staying with us for a while? That's great news Kagome!" Sango squealed, embracing her new friend. "I just know we'll get along famously." Kagome smiled, she had never had so many friends before, even if it was only three people.
"Inuyasha, you told her she could stay with us without even asking 'us'. What's wrong with you, I know how much you hate strangers!" Miroku scolded.
"Yeah, well she's different, alright!" Inuyasha spoke in a harsh tone, Miroku may be thinking of what's best for Kagome, but Inuyasha liked Kagome, and she wasn't about to leave him just yet.
"But I'm just saying– " Miroku was cut off when Inuyasha's voice became louder.
"Well then shut-up if you're going to be going on like that! She's staying and that's that!" after hearing this Kagome blushed.
'Inuyasha..'
"Hey! You there!" They all looked at the entrance of the alleyway, it was a guard from the palace.
"SCATTER!" Sango yelled. Miroku grabbed her and both of them jumped on Kilala's back. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and leaped to the roof of one of the surrounding buildings. Arrows were flying at them, Inuyasha pinned Kagome on the ground and shielded her with his own Body.
"Inuyasha, Don't! You'll be killed if one of those arrows hits you! Even if you're part Demon!" She yelled up at him, his face was inches away from hers.
"But I promised I'd protect you, Kagome. And you wouldn't understand what promises mean to me." He mused back, a drop of his blood dripping onto her face as an arrow pierced the tip of his left ear. She began to cry.
'He's risking his life.. to save mine? And we just met..' She thought, tears streaming down her face, taking the small blood-stains with them. He smiled at her, he, very slowly, began to lean down towards her lips. He was about half an inch away from kissing her when a searing pain shot up through his back.
Inuyasha roared in pain, the arrow went right through his chest and lightly pierced her chest as well. She looked at him with fear in her eyes, but seen that fear was looking straight back at her through his eyes.
"Kagome! Kami, are you ok?" he looked down at the small cut on her chest, while she was looking at the huge one on his.
"Inuyasha! How can you still worry about me when there's an arrow sticking out of you're chest." But he had no time to answer, he fell on top of her, unconscious.
"Inuyasha! Inuyasha! INUYASHA!" She yelled to him, but he didn't answer, she screamed a high-pitched scream, afraid that he was dead. A guard had followed them and was now dragging her back to the castle, her screams could be heard for miles.
–Back inside the Palace –
"Did you find her!" The king yelled as one of the guards came running in.
"Yes, Sire." He turned so the king could see Kagome, slowly walking in, dirty and tear-stricken.
"Kagome, dear. What happened to you!" He yelled, running over to her, embracing her. She said nothing. Sesshomaru walked into the room and, by the look of sheer disgust on his face, was not liking what he seen.
"I take it that this is Princess Kagome." He said, The cold, distant voice of his made her shudder.
"Hai, I am the Princess." She said, emotionlessly. She didn't know what to feel. Anger, Remorse, she had just lost a friend, just after she had made one, one she knew she would keep forever. Maybe she was just being naive, thinking that anyone would ever be her friend.
"Well my dear. I can't bare to look at you now. You're filthy. Go get cleaned up so I can inspect you further." Sesshomaru said, his arrogance beaming. She glared at him, she couldn't possibly tell anyone about Inuyasha.. he would surly be killed for touching the Princess..if he wasn't already dead.
She ran into her room to 'get ready', knowing that even if she tried, she couldn't possibly ever love Sesshomaru. But, alas, she was back inside the palace now which meant she had to obey her father, and Sesshomaru. Males always had control, females were nothing more than mere objects to males, at least that's what she thought of males until she met Inuyasha..
"Please be alright, Inuyasha. Please.. if you survive, come back for me." she said hopefully to herself. 'You promised me that you wouldn't let them take me away.. I hope you will be true to your word and you will find me..' she thought, beginning to cry.
– In the Village, 5 hours have passed. It is now in the night time –
"Inuyasha, you're awake!" Sango yelled to her hanyou friend, running over to where he was sleeping.
"Eh?" Inuyasha's eyes widened in pain. "OUCH! ..my head. What...happened?" he yelped, making an effort to act tough.
"The palace guards came, Inuyasha! They took Kagome away. We're not sure where they took her.. but I'm sure she's ok.." she replied.
"WHAT! Why didn't you go after her? There was two of you! They could be torturing her right now for running away!" Inuyasha yelled at them, trying to stand.
"Do not move yet, I just re-dressed your wounds." Miroku scolded, feeling guilty about not going after Kagome. Inuyasha was right.. they could have helped her. Inuyasha smiled to himself.
"Well.. I'll just have to go after her.. you two stay here.." He got up and jumped off the building. Miroku and Sango ran to the edge of the rooftop and stared after him, about to follow.
"And don't let me catch you following me either! I may be half human but I'm not a baka!" he shouted back to them as he disappeared behind a row of houses.
'How am I gonna find her.. I can't catch her scent at all.." he thought, looking up at the Palace in the distance. ' if the guards from that palace took her away.. then she must BE from that palace. I'll take a closer look..'
Inuyasha felt more confident on his search. He thought he could smell her, yet he had only known her for around a day, so he couldn't be so sure. He caught a figure out of the corner of his eye, walking under the moonlight.
'Miyu..'
Miyu was swiftly walking towards the castle walls. Inuyasha laughed, knowing that he wasn't going to make it in there so easily. Miyu walked a little off course and jumped over the wall, leaving Inuyasha astonished.
"Monkey see.." Inuyasha said, jumping over the wall as well. "Monkey do.." He said, landing on the other side. He jumped out of the way and hid behind a Sakura tree before Miyu saw him. He then waited for Miyu to step into the Palace before getting any closer.
"If I was a princess.. where would my room be.." he asked himself, laughing afterwards for how stupid he must have sounded. He noticed a slim figure on one of the higher balconies and crept closer to see who it was.
'Kagome..' he thought with relief, seeing her standing on the balcony, gazing out onto the village.
'She looks sad..' he thought. 'I wonder what's wrong.. I bet I can cheer her up.' He leaped up when he saw that she was turned around, fiddling with some kind of necklace. Once he reached the top, he swiftly and silently walked behind her and put his hands over her eyes, to cover them.
"Guess who.." He taunted, she gasped at first and struggled for a split second but smiled warmly when she realized who it was. She raised her hands behind her head to run her fingers through his smooth, soft, silver hair while he whispered in her ear:
"I never break a promise.." she turned around to look him in the eyes. It was him.. Inuyasha.. it was really him. He had actually came for her.. She couldn't believe it.
"But I thought.." she looked at his chest, where the arrow had gone through, it was almost healed.
"Thought I was.. dead?" he finished for her, she nodded.
"I'm a Hanyou, Kagome. My body is built a lot tougher than a humans body..." she began to cry in relief and happiness. "C'mon Kagome, did ya really think I'd die and leave you here all alone, Baka!" he joked, wiping the tears away from her face, grinning down at her when she pulled him into a hug.
"Arigatou, Inuyasha, you saved me. You took an arrow in the chest for me.. How can I ever repay you?" She asked, she felt bad. He could have died because of her.
"Repay me? Kagome, you being my friend would repay me a million times over. If you would be my friend, it would make me the happiest Hanyou that ever lived." He rambled on about friendship and loyalty but she wasn't paying attention. She was staring at his lips.
"Inuyasha..onbin." She kissed him..
