Chapter 2: Disputing Feelings

"Inuyasha! Suck up your pride and go find her already!" Sango was growing tired of Inuyasha just fidgeting up in the tree.

"She's right you know." And apparently so was Miroku.

"Feh." a/n how can Inuyasha cover up his feelings so well! I wish I could when I lie about not doing my homework…darn! "Don't worry 'bout it! She's probably with wolf boy as we speak!"

"Whoever said we were worried? I know Kagome can take care of herself. Its YOUR FIDGETING I CAN'T STAND!"

"Now Sango, dear, its just means he's worried about her and his arrogant self-centered pride won't let him doing anything about it."

"Ya' know, you're probably right Miroku….HEY! Whoever said you could call me DEAR!"

Inuyasha closed his eyes and pretended to fade away from the two bakas below.

"Sango now that we've known each other for so long, you cannot hide your true feelings…"

SMACK!

"True feelings! HA! The only I'm feeling is your hand on my butt! And then I feel EXREME anger!" Sango turns into anime monster.

"I'm sorry but I couldn't help myself…AHHHH!"

"Take that!"

"Ow! Can't we figure..OW…this OWt!"

Inuyasha smirked. 'Stupid monk, when is he going to learn?' he closed his eyes but the only thing that came into his mind was Kagome. He could see her sweet dark eyes that were pools of compassion and love. He loved the way her raven colored hair swayed with the wind. 'Kagome…I…I…' his eyes shot open. Why was he thinking of Kagome? He was sure she was perfectly fine. She was with the mangy wolf, right? Like Sango said she could take care of herself! That's right! So why was he worrying? He tried to close his eyes again. He tried thinking of other things other than Kagome. 'Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy thoughts.' He started to think about fighting demons. Every single one went down with one blow of his wind scar. 'Heh! They can't take me on!' Then suddenly Kagome came into the picture. She was smiling at him and waving. She was calling out his name. Suddenly a huge shadow came out of nowhere. She was right under a demons foot! It was about to squash her!

"NO KAGOME MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" Inuyasha had fallen out of the tree and was panting as if he had run a hundred miles. He looked up and saw Sango and Miroku who had many large bumps on his head, and a very red hand print on his cheek. 'Ooo! Is his face sizzling?' they were both raising an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah, Inuyasha, you definitely aren't worrying about Kagome." Giggling Sango made a sarcastic face.

"Shut up alright! Okay, so I'm a little worried about her. So what! I mean there are al types of demons out there! Who knows where she could be! And stop looking at me like that!" Sango had a very wide 'I-told-you-so' grin.

"I don't see why you just can't go get Kagome and bring her back. That way we all can be happy." Miroku was dusting off some dirt from his bumps on his head.

"You don't get it, do you? If I were to go after her, that would mean I would have to apologize, and there is no way in HELL I'm going to apologize!" his face softened, and he whispered, "…besides, do you think she would even forgive me?"

"Of course she will!" they both said with big, wide, fake grins.

"Oh. Okay, well I guess I'll go see where she is." With that Inuyasha took off to in the forest.

Sango and Miroku's faces dropped and they sweat dropped anime style.

"There is no way she will forgive him that easily."

"Nope." and they both sighed and went walking to the village.

Inuyasha ran through the forest at fool speed trying to pick up on the Kagome's scent.

'Gods! Where could she have gone?' His face dropped and his eyes glistened. 'Where are you Kagome?'

XXXXX

Kagome woke up shivering. Her eyes opened softly as if she didn't want to wake up. Who would blame her, though; she was having an awesome dream!

"Hey Kagome."

She blinked several times. Then she rubbed her eyes. 'This couldn't be happening!'

"I-In-Inuyasha?"

"Yeah. I've come to get you Kagome."

"You have?"

"Of course! I couldn't let you stay out here all by yourself! Think of the things that could happen to you!" His voice was stern but you could tell by his facial expression that there was…could it be…compassion?

"Well..Well…I was okay. But you were so mean to me! I was so hurt by what you said." Her voice quivered when she said this. "Did you mean it?"

"Of course not, baka! I would never want you to leave me." He bent down slowly so that they were eye to eye. "Kagome…I…I.."

"Yes?" Shouldn't help but keep the excitement in her voice contained.

"I…I.."

She sweats dropped anime style. 'Boy! Does this guy have a stuttering problem!'

" Kagome I LO-"

A cold drop landed on her nose. "Ughh…" Another cold drop landed on her forehead this time. "What is it?" All of the sudden cold drops started to fall everywhere. "No! It's raining!" She got up and run to look for cover under a bigger tree.

'Inuyasha! Where are you?' Suddenly wet drops of her own started to fall from her eyes. 'I wish you were here.'

XXXXX

With no luck Inuyasha stopped. "It's starting to rain. I need to find Kagome! She could get sick out here like this.'" He looked down to the ground. "Heh. Listen to me. I'm starting to sound like her mother."

'Seems more like your starting to sound like someone who cares for her.'

'No way! I couldn't care for Kagome. She is my friend.'

'Friends can care for each other, too, ya' know. Or is that you care more for her then just…a friend?'

'No! Shut up! I mean Kagome and I always fight. There is no romantic feeling there!'

'Maybe. Or do you fight with her just because you don't want to admit to her, or to yourself how you really feel?'

"I need to go think things through. I'll just go to the Goshinkibo a/n: I don't know how to spell that name so can any of you please tell me how to spell it? tree. I'll look for Kagome from there."

XXXXX

Kagome was running and suddenly she recognized the tree that stood in front of her.

"Goshinkibo! This is where Inuyasha and me first met." Her eyes flickered. "He is still probably mad at me. I miss him so much, though. I wonder if he even realized I left."

'Probably not, he is with Kikyo probably.'

'Why do you let that girl thrash you around like that!'

'Kikyo went though a lot of pain. She died for Inuyasha. I can never compete with that.'

'Will you stop wallowing in your own self-pity! That girl has been nasty to you and everyone else. As much as she has sacrificed she has no right to treat you or your friends like that!'

'But would Inuyasha think if I told her, worse, if I told him, how I felt?'

Suddenly the crunching of leaves and the rustling of bushes came from behind Kagome. She quickly turned around and gasped.

"K..Kagome?"
