Chapter Three: Fighting.

"We have to kill him." Kikyo's frail voice stated. "I will." Inuyasha replied. He let go of her and gazed upon her flawless face. "I shall be leaving for now." Kikyo said. "You sure? You can stay here if you want." Inuyasha replied. "No, I must keep journying." She stood up and began to walk away. "Farewell Inuyasha." He watched her walk off when he felt a sudden tug at his heart. Kagome.

She cried in her pillow until there were no more tears left and passed out. Inuyasha had heard of her going home for the night and Miroku had to explain to him why. Inuyasha climbed up the window sill and pushed the window open. He climbed inside and knocked over a plastic horse which awoke Kagome, she turned on a lamp and just looked at him with annoyance obvious in her face.

"Kagome I'm sorry." He said flatly, crossing his arms and sticking his nose slightly in the air. She shrugged her shoulders and shook her head some. "For what exactly?" "You know what for." She sat up and crossed her legs and shrugged her shoulders again. "No I don't, why don't you tell me." He was beginning to get annoyed by her arrogence and his familiar rage began to flare. "For hugging Kikyo." He snapped. "Whatever." She rolled over, obviously Miroku hadn't told him anything. "Kagome come back please." "I will. Tomorrow after school." Inuyasha groaned. "Fine, I'll be waiting." He said and jumped out of the window. She sighed to herself as another tear managed to escape her eyelids.

Miroku had thought long and hard about telling Inuyasha about Kagome. But before he could get the stubborn hanyou alone, he had already taken off to go see Kagome. He promised himself he would tell him the next chance he got. During the night, Miroku felt bad about Sango not knowing anything that was going on. So he woke her up while little Shippou was fast asleep and told her everything. Sango agreed that Inuyasha should know about this.

By the next morning Inuyasha had taken out his anger and had caught a wild bore for breakfast. Everyone could feel the tension from Inuyasha. It was obvious there "visit" hadn't gone well. Miroku had to wait for the perfect opportunity to tell Inuyasha.

A few hours later, Inuyasha was sitting up in a tree, which hovered over the slow flowing river beneath him. Miroku told Sango to distract Shippou for the time being, and walked up underneath Inuyasha. "Inuyasha?" "What?" He responded, sounding like he just wanted to be left alone. "I need to talk to you about something important." The hanyou hopped down in front of the monk. "Yeah? What is it?" He raised his eyebrows. Miroku's mouth went dry and he suddenly felt sick. "You need to sit down, Inuyasha." Looking confused, Inuyasha looked around for a moment before finding a decent rock to sit on. He crossed his arms and looked at Miroku, with full attention.

Kagome came back early and surprised Sango and Shippou back at the hut. After Shippou got his hug from Kagome, Sango stood and wrapped her arms around her friend. holding her close she whispered that she knew, and how sorry she was that that had happend to her. Kagome nodded and released Sango. "Where's Inuyasha?" Suddenly a strong wind came over Kaede's village. Kagome and Sango looked worried as they watched in sudden relief to see, Kouga come into the village. Kagome let out a very relieved sigh. Kouga walked over to Kagome and held her hands tightly, but sweetly. "I have brought you a gift." Kagome's eyes lit up and a genuine smile came upon her face. "Really?" Kouga nodded, and reached into his pelt, grabbing a small wolf, carved out of wood. He handed her the object and she took it gratefully. A small tear fell down her pale cheek. He wiped away the tear and kissed her softly on her forehead. "I hope you like it." "I do, I love it." Out of pure instinct, Kagome stood on her tip toes and kissed Kouga's cheek for the first time ever. A small blush came on both of their faces.

Miroku paced back and forth for a few moments trying to come up with a good and easy way of telling Inuyasha what had happend to Kagome. "Miroku, would you get on with it? This had better be important." Miroku shot him a glare, and then took a seat across from him on a rock. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he knealed over his knees and said. "Inuyasha, something has happened to-----" "Wait." Inuyasha leaned up. Figuring it could be Naraku again, Miroku fell silent. Inuyasha sniffed the air. He growled to himself. "Kouga." And began to take off running. "No! Inuyasha wait this is about Kagome! Inuyasha!" But he was gone. Miroku shook his head at himself for waisting so much time before hand and sighed.

Inuyasha was soon there and between Kagome and Kouga. "What's the big idea coming onto another man's girl huh?" Inuyasha screamed. "What are you talking about? She's my girl." Inuyasha took a swipe at Kouga but missed on account of Kagome's "Sit" command. She stepped in front of Kouga and with a soft voice spoke. "It's true, Inuyasha and I are together now." She looked up at him with a sorryful expression. He was heart broken that he was not chosen over a filthy, mutt, hanyou like Inuyasha. But he put up a tough front. He stuck out his chest and crossed his arms. "Well when THAT doesn't work out, look me up." Then without another word, he left.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Dirty wolf coming onto my girl." Inuyasha grunted. "At least HE'S nice to me." Kagome muttered as she lightly touched the wooden wolf with a delicate finger. The fire danced between them all, there had been tension between Kagome and Inuyasha all day long since Kouga had left. "What's that suppose to mean?" Inuyasha shouted with a held fist. This was the most they had fought since getting together. Before Kagome could mutter anything else Miroku stood up, held his hands up high and said firmly and loudly. "Stop!" Everyone looked to Miroku.

"Inuyasha, I need to speak with you alone." "No." Kagome yelled and stood up as well, giving Miroku a pleading face. "He has a right to know." Sango said, staying seated, looking directly at Kagome. "Know what?" Both Inuyasha and Shippou said at the same time. Kagome gathered up her blanket and began to walk into the hut. "I'll be in bed." Inuyasha looked over at Miroku with raised eyebrows.

The two of them walked back to the secluded area which they were in before and sat down. Inuyasha stared at Miroku, leaning back against a tree with his arms crossed. Miroku sat on a rock and leaned onto his knees with his elbows, and they sat a moment in silence. Listening to the night crickets chirping away, along with the constant flowing of the river next to them. "What the hell is it Miroku?" Inuyasha demanded. "Naraku has done something to Kagome." Inuyasha's eyebrows lowered. "Like what?" Miroku looked Inuyasha directly into his golden eyes, and said in a mere whisper. "He raped her."

For a split second, Inuyasha's eyes turned blood red, then back again. Causing Miroku to lean back. Inuyasha's breathing became slow and growly. He had to take a moment for it to actualy sink in. Rage was soon replaced with regret and pain. Everything he had been putting Kagome through, all the while her keeping this horrible secret. His heart sunk deep into his stomach, and tears threatened to spill over his eyes. He held them back and began to walk off.
