I was taken back by his sudden spat, but hey it was... Inuyasha after all... "Okay let me get dressed and we'll go okay?" He said "Feh" and walked to his tree and sat up there. I walked be in the hut to find a stirring Shippo. He yawned and stretched before seeing me.

"Good Morning Kagome. How are you?" jumping into my arms for a hug.

"I'm fine. I'm going to train with Inuyasha now so I'll probably see later at lunch."

"Wow. I' thought you'd be mad at Inuyasha..."

"Why?"

"Cause of what he did last night..."

"Oh he's just being a pain. He's always like that." putting different clothes on.

"He only does that cause he loves you so much!"

"Yeah your proba-. H-he what?"

"Well yeah. Haven't you noticed? Why else would he get all mad when Koga or any other demon comes by?"

I hadn't really thought about. I thought he was just being possessive, but it did make sense. "It's so they won't steel his jewel detector away from him." trying to pump some information out.

"Well maybe, but when you left last night he was mad..." sing saying it.

'Maybe he was right. But why would Inuyasha worry about me, he loved Kikyou right?' "KAGOME HURRY UP! We ain't got all day!" I broke out of my thoughts and continued to get ready. When I came out the hut Inuyasha was pacing the ground, so much that he left a trial mark in the ground.

"Okay I'm ready." He turned and looked at me then I saw his jaw drop, I'm guessing it was due to my new battle outfit Kaede made me. It was a purple sleeveless kimono top, that had the l with pink flames all over it, showing my tummy. My arms were covered with matching arm sleeves, that went down to my wrists I was also wearing purple priestess pants that went up as far as to my waist side, high enough to let my tails swing and sway as they please. My hair was done in a high pony tail with two strands on the side and I had sandals on too, all these materials were made from fire rat fur, just like Inuyasha's kimono was. "What?"

"Nothing let's just go..." he turned and started walking down the road.

Again I was at the place I was at just hours before: The bone eater's well, I was about to say something, but at the risk of getting on one of Inuyasha's last nerves I didn't.

"Okay Kagome let's start..." he said getting into place. I nodded "Okay you must remember to feel the power, enough to control it right, but not enough for it to control you." I concentrated. My hands were soon engulfed with flames and I shot a fireball at Inuyasha. I missed, "Is that all you got!" I threw another one this time I knicked him in the arm. "Okay wench. You wanna play? Let's play!"

It was a game of cat and mouse -er- dog and cat. He was running wild while I was chasing him shooting fireballs at him. They were small and didn't hurt him, but I think he was getting mad. I found that he lead me to a part of the woods I've never seen, it was a precipice that looked over another part of the forest, where Mount Ho Oh was barely visible and a river down in the middle. 'Okay where is he?' I thought I heard a rustle behind me, and a blur of red and silver came out towards me. "GOTCHA!" I leaped in the air to avoid it.

Airborne I shot a fireball, it subsided and fell down. On the ground it turned out to be Inuyasha, and I had knocked him unconscious. "Oh my gosh! Inuyasha!" running over to where he laid "Inuyasha! Can you heard me!" shaking him fearsomely. He wasn't moving,'I killed him how could-' "Aah!" I shot up and tackled me to the ground. He was holding my hands above my head and was atop of me.

"Like I said... gotcha." he said huskily

Struggling under him, "Okay. Happy... I'm down. Can you let me up now?" This was just like my dream, Inuyasha laying on top of me about to make me his forever. It's like what I was telling Koga last night, I wasn't ready for that yet.

He bent down and whispered in my ear, "Now would I do that?" then he started kissing my neck

"In...Inu...Inuyasha? What are you doing?"

"Nothing...I just thought the pretty kitty wanted to play..." kissing my neck again

"No she wants to get up and get back to the others." struggling under him again. He lifted his head, he had a mad look on his face.

"So you'll kiss the flee bag, but not me huh?" he leaped off me.

"What are you talking- Where you spying on me Inuyasha!" He didn't say anything, but turned his back to me. "I can't believe you! How could you!"

"HOW COULD YOU GO AND KISS KOGA!" He shouted turning down me.

"I didn't kiss him, he kissed me!" Not only were my hands engulfed in flames but my arms were too.

"Oh yeah you really fought back didn't you, Kagome!"

"SIT!" (THUD) "Why do you care Inuyasha? I'm just your jewel detector remember?" He got up from the spell and got in my face.

"No your not! I care about you okay?"

"Really? Is that why you go see Kikyou when she comes by." He was taken back by that last comment. "It hurts Inuyasha...It hurts when you do that. Do you know how many times I've wondered if I should stay here?" I felt tears coming to the surface, and my ears flatten on my head. "When you two are together, I think to myself 'should a stay here, is it worth this pain?' Do you know how many times I thought about going home and staying? ALOT Inuyasha." My words were harsh, but finally had to be said, my hands were the only thing glowing this time. "However, I don't leave, cause there's something keeping me here..." I fell to my knees and started to cry, I looked at my hands once more and saw that they were immolating a blue color, these flames didn't hurt when I wrapped my arms around my myself.

"Are you talking about the others?" he asked

"No Inuyasha it's... you. You're the reason I stay here, you're the reason I continue the fight. The thought of always being near you makes me happy. But when you run off to see Kikyou, it really hurts me." I felt his presence getting closer to me, I got up and stepped back, my hands turned red and orange again. "No Inuyasha that's not going to work this time... please just...go away." He got closer. "Go away... I hate you Inuyasha! Get the hell away from me!" I shot my fire at him, and made a wall to protect me from him, I looked at his face once more before I jumped off the edge of the cliff. I landed on the rocks then I ran, as fast as I could. I didn't know where to, but I just ran.

'Sorry Inuyasha but a person can only take so much...'
