Well, hello there. Sorry about the late up date, I was going to add this little blurb at the beginning of the last chapter but I forgot (WHOOPS!) I also forgot to add earlier on that Kagome, due to the loss of memory isn't acting quite herself, so if some of the things she does seem uncharacteristic that's why. And please, please, please don't hurt me for my bad grammar, I do try. I guess that's the end of this, oh wait. Nope. There's more. Thanks for the review! More would be nice too!!!

CHAPTER SIX

Inuyasha didn't want to go back to the other's, not without Kagome by his side. He pushed away his thoughts of her in danger and made his way back to the camp. Relieved not to find them there he set off in the direction of their fading scents.

"INUYASHA! We were so worried. Did you guys get stuck in that snowstorm?" Sango, expecting Kagome to make some snide remark about Inuyasha looked past him to find no Kagome. Miroku also wondering where Kagome was as well was struck by a thought.

"Could it be that you tried to…" he paused searching for the right word. "Comfort Kagome during such an ordeal and received an unfair reaction?" He had. The lump was still there. "Women can be so misunderstanding." He whispered behind his hand to Inuyasha. He half expected to get whacked, but when there was no reaction he became instantly worried. For the first time he noticed Inuyasha's jaw was set firmly and he wasn't making eye contact with any of them, he just stared straight ahead.

"Where is Kagome," Miroku asked cautiously. Inuyasha walked passed them.

"I don't know." He stated emotionless. Shippo, who had gone out to greet Kagome, walked in at that exact moment.

"WHAT!" he squealed, "Did you run into Kikyo again!" he demanded. Inuyasha spun around his face contorted with hurt and rage.

"THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH KIKYO!" he spat. All of them scared from Inuyasha's reaction became extremely worried about Kagome.

"What happened Inuyasha." Miroku asked again. Inuyasha turned away and started looking for Kagome's bag. He desperately needed to smell her scent.

"Inuyasha, what happened" this time it was Sango.

Inuyasha having found her bag started rummaging through it, her scent filling the air. "There was two demons and I couldn't hold both of them off so I told her to run." He whispered coldly still rummaging.

"You didn't find her before the storm?" Sango felt panic when he didn't answer. "You didn't find her!" her voice had risen considerably.

"The snow covered her scent!" he growled. He found the shards and brought them out, relieved for once that she didn't have them. Shippo, thinking Inuyasha was only concerned about the shards started yelling.

"Kagome could be in danger or frozen to death and all you care about are the damn jewel shards!" he accused. Inuyasha was furious,

"DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT!" He shouted back referring to his lack of knowledge on what state Kagome was in. He shoved the shards back in the bag, grabbed it flinging it over his shoulder, and stormed away. Miroku ran after him.

"Inuyasha where are you going!" he didn't answer. Miroku grabbed hold of his shoulder and turned him around, asking the question again more forcibly. Inuyasha pushed him away resulting in Miroku on the ground with an unstable inu youkai glaring down at him. This time though Inuyasha's eyes were so full of emotion, Miroku realized just how much pain Inuyasha was going through, so he stayed where he was and didn't ask any more questions. With that Inuyasha left to go look for Kagome.

'At least she doesn't have the shards, hopefully the demons wont go after her.' 'Unless she's already dead.' His inner voice stated. He cringed. 'She's stronger than that!' he shouted inwardly and forced himself to go faster. 'I've got to find you Kagome.' He lowered his head feeling tears threaten.

"I need you."
