"Lost Forever"

Chapter 4 – Saved by Loved Ones

"How is InuYasha?" Miroku asked Sango.

"Well, so far he has been in deep thoughts all day."

"I feel sorry for the guy."

"Yeah."

InuYasha's POV

'My wounds still hurt from last night. It's so hard to believe that it is actually Kagome's doing last night. I am so confuse now. Why do I care so much about Kagome? Is it that I love her? No, I love Kikyo.' I shook my head. Maybe a walk will do me some good.

Normal POV

InuYasha left his thinking tree and went towards the forest.

"InuYasha what are you oding? Your wounds haven't heal yet." Shippou shouted.

"Shut up! I can take care of myself." InuYasha then walked away continue his little walk.

While he was taking his walk, a demon appeared and sliced him.

"DAMN YOU!" InuYasha shouted and pulled out Tetsaiga.

It was hard for him to fight because of his injuries. The demon then knocked him down.

"Damn, he is fast." InuYasha said breathlessly. The next thing he knew, the demon knocked him out cold.

InuYasha slowly opened his eyes.

InuYasha's POV

'Damn, my head hurts. Stupid demon.' I was surprise to find that I am alive after that fight with the demon. I then notice that I wasn't alone. A girl in a pink kimono was standing with my back towards me.

'Is that Kagome?' I thought.

Normal POV

"So you finally woke up. I cleaned up your wounds. You shouldn't move that much."

"Keh, and when did you start to care for me? I thought you wanted to kill me the other night." InuYasha said. Although he kind of regretted saying it.

InuYasha tried to stand up.

Kagome turned her head. "I will kill you, sooner or later, just not now." Kagome said coldly and walked off.

"Kagome, wait." InuYasha caught her arm.

"I'm sorry I caused you so much pain." InuYasha pulled her into a hug.

They hugged for a few seconds until Kagome pushed him away.

"It's too late." Flowers then started to revolve around her like the other night and she vanish.

"Kagome..." InuYasha said.

"WHO NEEDS YOU ANYWAY! I CAN FIND THE JEWEL SHARDS BY MYSELF!" InuYasha shouted angrily but in his heart, he felt the opposite. He needed her.

InuYasha returned to the villiage at dawn slowly because his wounds were not fully healed yet.

"InuYasha, you are finally back! We were so worried about you." Shippou said and jumped into his arms.

"Feh, don't waste your time worrying about me."

InuYasha entered the hut.

"Got yourself into more trouble, InuYasha?" Miroku said pointing at InuYasha's wounds.

"Feh, it was only a demon."

"How were you able to wield the Tetsaiga or use your claws in your condition?" Sango asked entering the hut.

"Well… I didn't exactly have the energy to fight the demon. Kagome saved me from it and nursed me." InuYasha looked away.

"KAGOME?" Everybody shouted in unison.

InuYasha then told everybody what happened.

"Are you sure it is Kagome? I mean she was trying to kill you last night." Miroku asked.

"It was Kagome, alright. I recognize her sweet lavender scent anywhere."

InuYasha then relized what he had just said, "I recognize that sweet lavender scent anywhere." His face started to redden like a tomato.

"Sweet lavender? My, my, I am beginning to think you have develop feelings for her." Miroku said giving InuYasha perverted grin.

"DO NOT!"

"Oh, really…"

BAM

Sango hit both of the boys in the head with her boomerang and both of them fell unconscious.

Kagome wandered into the forest. To her surprise, she met Kikyo.

"So its true, you have change and grown stronger." Kikyo said. She could feel Kagome's energy and coldness.

"Men only makes us weaker. That's what I learned when I was alive. I will never make that mistake again!" Kikyo continue.

"Why are you telling me this?" Kagome asked.

"Why? I just wanted to tell you that InuYasha is mine and no one else. He even promised me." Kikyo grinned and continue.

"In a few moments, InuYasha will come and he will make me his."

Kagome then felt a pang of jealousy.

'Why do I feel this way?'

The bushes behind Kikyo, started to move and out came a demon. Before Kikyo could get her weapons the demon sliced her left arm.

But it seemed too easy. It looked as if Kikyo allowed the demon to attack her. Kagome was suspicious about it but was interrupted by the demon. It tried to do the same to Kagome but she dodged it.

Kagome then took out her Tegsaiga and gave a slash and killed the demon.

'That was too easy.' The blood stained on the Tegsaiga.

"KIKYO!" came a cried in the distance. It was InuYasha.

"Kikyo are you alright?" Kikyo just nodded.

InuYasha then looked up to see who had harmed her.

"Kagome! Why are you trying to kill her? She is the only one I have in this world and I won't allow anyone to hurt her even if it means I will have to kill you." InuYasha shouted in anger.

But Kagome was in her own world.

"Naraku." She whispered and with that she ran off.

"Oh no, you don't! No one gets away that hurts Kikyo without a fight!" InuYasha of course caught up to her because he is a hanyou (half demon) but Kagome elbowed him in the chest and ran off.

"Damn, that nerve of the girl."

InuYasha didn't want to follow her anymore because he relized that right now, Kikyo needs him, not Kagome, she is gone.

Umm I don't have much to say but…
