Yay for all my reviews and thanks to all my reviewers...thanks guys

Sry for the wait...but I had severe writer's block...this was a hard chappy to write...

Last Time:

"Hey Inuyasha?...yea its Sango...I know it's late but Kagome found the fire fox...yes it was Shippo, how did you know?...oh...duh smelled like him...ok...yes I told her, and she remembers some of it...ok...call me tomorrow...night..." Sango hung up and went back to where Kagome was setting up the blankets on the couches.

"Well, let's get some sleep," Sango said stretching.

"Good night Sango, and thank you."

"For what?"

"For being there for me when I needed you, you're a great friend," Kagome said sleepily.

"Good night to you too Kagome."

Chapter 10: Tooth of Newt

"Uh...Miroku?" Sango said.

"Yes Sango my dear?"

"HENTAI!" Sango yelled as she smacked the perverted monk. He fell to the ground and painfully got up again.

"What was that for?" he asked, looking genuinely confused.

"You touched me you idiot. You think I wouldn't notice?" Sango fumed.

"Uh, Sango, it wasn't him...this time," Inuyasha said, pointing behind her. Sango angrily turned around and saw a very frightened guy running away. Kagome started to giggle when Sango ran after him.

"Hey, you get back here," Sango yelled running after the guy. She gradually gained on him and when she had caught up she tackled him to the ground. "Was it you?" she practically yelled in his face.

"Uh, yes...it was...I'm sorry...I-" The boy was cut off when Sango hit him across the head.

"You jerk! You don't go groping random girls!" Sango was yelling at him and hitting him when the rest of the group ran up.

"Sango!" Kagome said as she ran up to her. "What are you doing? Let him talk, maybe he has a good reason for groping you, though I doubt it." Sango stopped hitting the guy, but still had a hard grip on his arm. She looked at him menacingly.

"What is your reason kid?" Sango asked in a terrifying voice.

"Uh, it was a dare...yea a dare," the boy said, fumbling for words.

"Why do I not believe you?" Miroku said, stepping between Sango and the boy. He grabbed the guy's arm and dragged him a little way off. He started to whisper to the guy, but the rest of the group couldn't hear him.

"Inuyasha, can you hear them?"

"Yea, he says his name is Hojo, he will help us find the tooth of newt, and he meant to grope Kagome," Inuyasha's face turned angry and he ran towards Hojo. When he reached him Inuyasha grabbed his arm and started to yell at him. Hojo cowered away from the hanyou and blanched with fear.

"Inuyasha stop!" Kagome yelled running towards them. She grabbed him around the waist, but was knocked off her feet when Inuyasha jerked, unused to the close contact. Kagome fell on her back and Inuyasha fell on top of her. He had twisted around to avoid crushing her.

Kagome's and Inuyasha's faces were just inches from each other. Kagome was staring into the hanyou's golden eyes when he suddenly jumped up. His face was all red and he backed away from her like she was contagious. He turned around and saw Miroku and Sango looking at them with shocked expressions.

"What are you guys looking at?" Inuyasha said somewhat annoyed.

"Nothing," both Miroku and Sango said looking away. Kagome stood up and winced. She grabbed her lower leg but when she pulled her hand away it was bloody. She sat back down on the floor and called Sango over.

"Hey Sango, I hurt the back of my leg, can you take a look?" Kagome asked.

"Sure," Sango said kneeling down. "Ouch, that's a nasty scrape. Do you have anything I could tie it up with?"

"Yea here," Kagome said pulling a bandanna out of her pocket. "I forgot to put it away this morning," she said handing it to Sango, who then wrapped her leg.

"Do you think Shippo will be alright at your house Sango?" Kagome asked as Sango worked on her leg.

"Yes, my brother and your brother promised to take care of him," Sango said to reassure her.

"I just hope he doesn't worry to much about us, he doesn't seem to like Inuyasha much."

"Well, that 's probably because Inuyasha always yells at him."

"True."

Kagome stood up, but couldn't put her full weight on the leg. She grabbed onto Sango's shoulder and limped over to Inuyasha and Miroku.

"Come on guys, we have to find that stupid tooth," Kagome said. Why, oh why, did I have to pick something so stupid...well at least it wasn't something like the last blossom on a cherry tree... Kagome sighed.

"What's wrong Kagome?" Miroku asked, indicating her leg.

"I just scraped it, but I can't put my full weight on it, it hurts to much," Kagome explained. Hojo offered to help her, but Kagome just shook her head and gripped Sango's shoulder tighter.

"So, Hojo, do you know where we can find a tooth of newt?" Kagome asked.

"Uh, well there is this one place I think may have what you are looking for," Hojo answered. He led them towards the outskirts of the city, but they had to go really slow because of Kagome's leg. After about a half hour Inuyasha started to grumble about how slow they were going. Everyone ignored him, which made him grumble louder.

"What's your problem Inuyasha?"Kagome asked frustrated. Instead of answering Kagome's question Inuyasha picked her up and started to walk faster. Kagome just sat there for a minute confused.

"What are you doing Inuyasha," she asked.

"You are going too slow wench," Inuyasha answered, looking straight ahead.

"Wench? I have a name, call me by it," Kagome yelled at him.

"Feh," Inuyasha said. The rest of the group had caught up to them by now and they were wondering why Kagome was yelling at Inuyasha.

"Kagome, quiet down, we do need to move faster. It's already noon," Miroku said. Miroku gulped as Kagome looked at him, "Sorry Kagome," he said. Kagome just crossed her arms and was quiet.

I wonder what she's thinking, Inuyasha thought. Is she mad that I picked her up? Or maybe it was about when I fell, I did kind of get up fast...is she angry about that? Inuyasha continued to follow Hojo, but he was wondering why Kagome was angry with him.

About a half hour later Hojo led them to a large valley-like indentation in the ground.

"It's in there," he said pointing to a cave.

"What is?" Inuyasha asked turning towards Hojo, only to find that Hojo was nowhere in sight. "Now where did that guy go?" Inuyasha growled. Suddenly the earth started to shake.

"What the-" Sango started to say before she was knocked off her feet and into the cave. She ran out of the cave screaming.

"Sango, what happened?" Inuyasha asked.

"RUN!" Sango yelled. Before anyone could react a large newt-like demon ran out of the cave. Inuyasha set Kagome on a near-by boulder and grabbed his sword. Inside of the scabbard it looked small, but when it was drawn Kagome saw that it was twice as big as she thought it would be.

Sango whistled loudly and a few minutes later a large cat demon flew into view. It was holding a large boomerang and a staff in its mouth. When it landed Sango went up to it.

"Thanks Kirara. Oh, you brought Hiraikotsu (a/n: did I spell that right? Someone tell me...). Thanks!" Sango grabbed Hiraikotsu and jumped up onto Kirara. Miroku grabbed the staff from Kirara and thanked her.

The three got ready to fight the demon. Kagome was feeling useless when she saw a bow and a couple of arrows on the ground. I used to take archery lessons. I think I still have good aim Kagome thought as she limped over to them. She grabbed the bow and arrows, surprised that the bow still had a string in good shape.

She had to go back to the boulder in order to get a good shot at the demon. The rest of the group had started to fight the newt-like thing. Miroku was throwing sutras at it, but they were being repelled. Sango threw Hiraikotsu and chopped off one of its legs.

The demon fell to the ground, seemingly disabled. When Inuyasha tried to kill it though, it suddenly reared up and grabbed him in its jaws. Inuyasha stabbed upwards with his sword and sliced through the demon's eye. It roared and dropped Inuyasha on the ground.

The hanyou tried to stand up but the wounds in his stomach prevented him from getting up. Kagome gasped as she saw Inuyasha fall back on the ground. She took careful aim at the demon's head. Just as she was about to loose the arrow the newt-demon roared again. She jerked her hand and the arrow flew towards her target. Instead of killing the demon the arrow hit one of the teeth. The tooth was knocked off into the brush near by.

"Get back Sango," Miroku yelled, his hand on his rosary. Sango and Kirara flew back to where Inuyasha was. Miroku took off his rosary and the newt demon was sucked into his Kazaana (a/n: hey...guys...if I have any spelling errors tell me and I'll see what I can do ).

Kagome fell to the ground and Inuyasha sat up, hearing the thump as she hit the ground. He saw a small pink light go from some bushes towards Kagome. There was a small white object in the pink light and Inuyasha thought it was the tooth of newt. He slowly stood up and went towards Kagome.

He sank to the ground by her side and cradled her head in his lap. She wasn't breathing and her skin was becoming cold. Suddenly she took a deep breath and her eyes fluttered.

"Inuyasha? What happened?" Kagome asked, seeing Inuyasha's face.

"Kagome, what is that one thing I told you never to tell anyone else?"

"Uh, that Sesshomaru is a –" Kagome started.

"Ok, that's good Kagome," Inuyasha said.

"Inuyasha, what happened?"

"You lost your memory Kagome. Naraku kidnapped you and when we found you...you didn't remember anything," Inuyasha said with pain in his voice. Kagome stood up shakily. Sango and Miroku came up to them and helped Kagome. Inuyasha stood up as well and opened his cell phone.

"Fluffy...come pick us up...yes...sure, whatever...yea...k" Inuyasha hung up and sat down on a tree trunk. Suddenly there was a laugh. Everyone looked around, confused.

"You think you have defeated me?" a voice said. "I know everything, I have read her mind and know all of you deepest secrets. It is unfortunate you got her back before I could control her."

"Naraku!" Inuyasha yelled as Naraku materialized before them. Inuyasha pulled out his Tetsusaiga and pointed it at him.

"Wind Scar," he yelled. Suddenly Naraku fell apart, and all they found was a wooden doll with a hair wrapped around it.

"A puppet! (a/n: can anyone tell me what those are actually called?)" Miroku said.

"Feh, he's too cowardly to show up himself," Inuyasha scoffed.

"Come on Yasha, let's go home," Kagome said, using a nickname from their childhood. Inuyasha turned towards her and smiled.

"Yes, let's go home," he said as he put his arm around her shoulders.
