Chapter 5 - Laughs and Threats

Two Years Later

Inuyash and the gang have gotten all the jewel shards but Naraku's. Miroku promised Sango that they would wish Kohaku back before they took the shard from his back. Now they were off to face Naraku, "Inuyasha, how will we beat him if he still has alot of shards? It didn't work before so what makes you think it will now?" He swung around to face Kagome, she hadn't shut up about the same topic for hours. "What do you propose we do, sit and wait for him to die of OLD AGE!!!!! Don't you think I know what I'm doing?" "No," Shippou whispered," You never do!" Inuyasha was about to whack him on the head but Kagome protected him with a tight hug. "You will not hurt Shippou or I'll say the 's' word you got that buddy!" Kagome was glaring daggers at him and he backed off sheepishly, blushing, jealous of the way Kagome was holding Shippou, 'Why won't she hold me like that?' He shook the thought from his head he was hurt because he thought Kagome didn't like him anymore since she treated him like before they made a promise to be hanyous together.

Later that night Inuyasha dragged Kagome over to a stream to talk to her. Actually he just followed her when she went to get water and spend time alone then he'd just sat on the bank. "Kagome?" he whispered he half hoped she didn't hear him but she did. "What is it Inuyasha," she sighed, sounding irritated, really she was just cold and tired. " Um you still remember that night, when you said you wanted to become half demon right? You didn't change your mind and hate me now right?" He sounded like a scared little kid. She crawled into his lap and traced circles in his shirt, "Of course I remember silly! That was one of the most important nights of my life! Why do you ask?" He sighed with relief and held her close to him stroking her hair, "Well you were acting like you used to around me before I said that and I was scared you didn't like me Kagome. I love you and I would rather die than lose you!" He squeezed her tightly and she got up to go back to the others but she turned around and looked at him, "Inuyasha I can't change my feelings for you because I don't want to and never will. I promise you that I won't ever forget you, leave you, or stop loving you. I promise on my life." With that they went to bed.

The next morning Inuyasha tried extra hard to be nice to Shippou and Miroku, he only yelled once and didn't hit anybody. Kagome was so proud, " You've been really good today Inuyasha! You get a gold star!" She giggled and hugged him he just looked confused and looked at the sky,"What are you talking about stars aren't gold their silver, its not nighttime yet, and even if it was you can't take stars out of the sky cause noone can jump that high plus the sky would get mad and fall apart!" He looked at her like she was crazy and she burst out laughing, she loved it when he tried to figure out something from the future! Suddenly she stopped laughing and gasped, standing in front of her was Naraku and he had already shot her with an energy beam and lifted her off the ground as a hostage and human sheild. "Inu-Yasha...." Kagome tried to call him but she faintd from being shot in the stomache. " I await you at my castle, half-demon! I will leave it unguarded, come and fight if you ever wish to see this girl in one piece again!" With that he disappeared and Inuyasha took off after him.
