Disclaimer: I wish I owned Inuyasha. That would be sooo cool…

Author's Note: All right, here we are with chapter six! I'm just on roll with this story! Anyway, I personally find this chapter fun, but maybe I'm just weird.

Inuyasha: That's for sure! All we do is fight in this chapter! How's that fun?

SilverRose88: Heh…Heh…

Inuyasha: You're crazy.

SilverRose88: Tell me something I don't know!

Koga: What the hell's wrong with you! I was hardly in this chapter!

SilverRose88: Heh…Heh…

Koga and Inuyasha: Quit it with that stupid nervous laugh!

SIlverRose88: Don't worry! Koga, you're going to be in the next chapter a lot, so don't have a cow!

INuyasha: What about me!

SilverRose88: Oh, yeah, you'll be in it too.

Koga: Well, enjoy the chapter, even though I'm hardly in it!

SilverRose88: Heh…Heh…Bye!

Chapter Six

Kagome rubbed her eyes as she walked to the door, cursing. It's six in the morning, who the hell is up so-

"Inuyasha!" she gasped.

Inuyasha had a look of annoyance and anger mingled together on his face. "Get dressed. You're coming with me," he said, voice holding no room for discussion.

"What! Have you gone insane? I don't have to go anywhere with you!" Kagome exclaimed.

"Kagome, please," he said.

"I said, no," Kagome replied stubbornly, crossing her arms.

Inuyasha stared at her with a mix of now anger and hurt on his face. "Fine, then I'll force you," he said, and effortlessly picked Kagome up, swinging her over his shoulder.

"AH! Inu-Inuyasha! Put me down!" Kagome screeched. "Sango! Sango, help me!" she called when she saw Sago walk out the bedroom.

Sango took one look at them, and said with a wave of her hand, "Bring her back before dark," She disappeared into the bathroom.

"SANGO!" Kagome yelled.

"Will you shut up? You'll wake everybody up," Inuyasha said, making his way to the elevators.

"What do you think you're doing! You can't just drag me off like this! Let me down, now!"

"Nah, it's fun holding you,"

"Inuyasha!"

"Calm down, Kagome. It's not like I'm kidnapping you,"

"Oh, really? Then what are you doing?"

"This is the only way to talk to you. I'm not letting you go until some of my questions are answered." Inuyasha said. They took the elevator down and walked to his car. He put Kagome down and held the door open for her. Reluctantly, she got in and he went around to the driver's side.

"Where are you taking me? Please no where public. I'm still in my pajamas," Kagome said, staring at her teddy bear pants and shirt.

Inuyasha laughed. "I gave you the chance to change. It's your fault for not listening,"

"Don't blame me! You're the one who shows up randomly at six in the morning, expecting that I'd come with you! Besides, you know better than anyone that I'm not a morning person," Kagome said.

"Yeah, you're right. It's just that in two years you can forget little things like that. Especially since they hurt so much to think of," Inuyasha said quietly.

Kagome looked away, his words cutting into her. "Look, I'm not ready to talk about that, all right?"

"Fine. But can you at least spend a few hours with me? I've just got you back. I'm not letting you run away again," Inuyasha replied, turning to look at her with his deep brown eyes.

Kagome's heart clenched tightly. God, this is too much. My heart can't handle this. "U-Um, yea-yeah. I guess I can…" she said slowly, unable to resist the plea etched in his face.

He grinned. "Thanks," he said. "Now, since I know you're coming with me, we can go back and you can change,"

Kagome sighed, wondering if this really was a good idea.

"Kagome! What a surprise! I didn't think Inuyasha would actually go get you. He's so mad at you," Miroku said.

"Um, hi to you too, Miroku," Kagome said, then turned to Inuyasha. "You're mad at me"

"Of course I am," he said firmly. "You just got up and left without any explanation, no address to where you were going, with no goodbye. It made me furious,"

"Especially since you left before your congrats party," Miroku added.

Kagome looked between the two of them. "Congrats party What party?" she asked, confused.

Inuyasha looked away, slumping down on the couch.

Miroku explained, "After you got your acceptance letter to , Inuyasha decided to throw you a surprised party. We just pretended that it was a normal movie night, but it was a party for you. That night, when you didn't show up we-"

"Shut up, Miroku. She gets it. Kagome decided she'd rather be here than with her friends. Just drop it. She doesn't care about us anymore," Inuyasha said, crossing his arms and staring fixedly at the wall.

"That's not true and you know it!" Kagome exclaimed, fighting back tears. She couldn't believe her ears. "I've thought, everyday since I left, about you and all of my friends. Leaving wasn't easy for me, you know!"

Inuyasha jumped to his feet. "Oh, I'm sorry. Kagome had a hard time leaving. Well, we had a hard time without you! If you thought of us everyday for two and a half years, then why the hell couldn't you have sent a letter? Called? Emailed? Were we so beneath you that you had to run off to college with people at your own level.

Kagome slapped him. "I can't believe you'd even say that! I've never been prideful of my smarts and you know that! You've always known that! I left because I needed to! There were things going on back home that I couldn't handle. I had to get away,"

"But you couldn't have said goodbye! I would have rather heard it from you, not your letter, that you needed to leave. I might have been behind you if you'd told me the truth instead-instead of packing up and leaving without a trace. You made if so hard to find you, Kagome! I tired every college I knew looking to see if you'd enrolled, but I couldn't get one lead. Nothing! If hurt that you left, but if hurt more that you didn't want to be found," Inuyasha breathed heavily, the pain in his cheek finally staring to get to him. She'd actually slapped him. "You slapped me," he stated.

Kagome sighed deeply from within her lungs, trying both to gain breath, and to relax her nerves. She was angry, and upset, and hurt. "You just noticed?"

"I was too busy yelling to realize it,"

"You deserved it,"

"Then maybe I should slap you because you deserve it too,"

"You can't hit a girl!" Kagome said.

"So what? You need a good slap. Maybe then you'll come to your senses and come home!" Inuyasha said, voice rising again.

"Has it once occurred o you that I might not want to got home!" Kagome practically shouted.

Inuyasha looked liked she'd slapped him again. "Fine, then," he said after a moment of pure silence. "Later, Kagome," He strode quickly to the other room and slammed the door shut.

Kagome turned slowly to Miroku with hot tears in her eyes.

"Come on," he said, leading her out the door. "I'll take you back to your apartment,"

Kagome nodded and followed Miroku out.

"What the hell kind of game are you playing?" Miroku demanded when he returned from dropping Kagome off.

"What do you mean?" Inuyasha said without emotion while flipping through channels on the T.V.

"With Kagome! You spent two months looking her and now you finally found her, but all you're doing is fighting!"

"It's not my fault. Sure, I'm glad that I've finally seen her again, but I can't just forgive her from leaving home. For leaving me,"

Leaving youMiroku thought silently. "You're a complete moron I can't believe you're letting this slip away!"

"I can't believe you're letting this slip away!" Sango exclaimed.

"I'm not letting anything slip away. I'm not losing a thing,"

"But you still love him, Kagome! I know you do,"

"No, I-I love Koga,"

"Don't kid yourself! You miss him!"

"You miss her!" Miroku said. "You haven't been the same since she left!"

"What do you mean? I haven't changed at all. I'm still the same," Inuyasha said.

"But you know you don't want to leave without her! Why are you being so stubborn?"

"Stubborn? I'm stubborn? She's the stubborn one!"

"I'm not stubborn! If anything, he's more stubborn than me!" Kagome said. "Why can't he understand that I just couldn't stay? I had to leave,"

"Kagome, how do you expect him to understand if you don't tell him why you left in the first place?" Sango asked.

"Sango! I can't do that! He-He doesn't love me. He loves Kikyo! Kikyo is his-"

"-girlfriend. You need another girl in your life. You're completely pathetic. No offense," Miroku said.

"Are you proposing that Kagome should be my girlfriend? Are you nuts? I want nothing to do with her after she so blatantly left," Inuyasha said with bitterness.

"You are such a bad liar," Miroku stated.

"I still love Kikyo. It's not my fault she dumped me. I'll try to win Kikyo back,"

"But if she's the one to have dumped you, then-"

"Shut up!"

"Shut up! Kagome, I hate hearing you deny what I know-what you know-you really want," Sango said. "I know you want to be with him,"

"No. It's too later for that now. I-I've got Koga, and-and he has Kikyo," Kagome said, trying to stifle her tears. "This is just the way it has to be,"

"But don't you want to be friends again? You two are joined at the hip!"

"If we were joined at the him, then why didn't she tell me she left?" Inuyasha demanded.

"That's not the point! She's finally here, you've finally seen her again after two and a half years!" Miroku said. "Are you really going to let this chance go?"

"No. I-I don't want to lose him again. But, bit's just so hard to be ear him when I know my feelings aren't' returned," Kagome said.

"But can't you stay friends? You've told me so much about he two of you and I can tell that you a close friendship. It's a shame to let that go away again. You know it's not right to let it go. So, are you letting it go?"

"No. I can't. I won't," Inuyasha said firmly.

"That's the spirit!" Miroku exclaimed. "So, what are you going to do?"

Inuyasha sighed sadly, and stared at a picture of him and Kagome. "Beats the hell out of me,"

"What are you going to do about it?" Sango inquired.

"I-I don't know," Kagome said with a sigh, staring up at the photo shop pictured of her and Inuyasha.

"Kagome, are you all right? You seem very out of it," Koga asked, concerned etched o his face.

"Oh, I'm sorry Koga. I've just got some other stuff on my mind," Kagome replied. "I'm sorry if I'm ruining our date,"

"Nothing can ruin spending time with you," Koga said, taking her hand. "Kagome, I have something for you," He handed her a small velvet black box.

Kagome gasped and opened the lid. in the stain folds nested a silver rings with three diamond chips embedded in it. "Oh, Koga…" she breathed.

Koga removed the ring and slipped it onto her right ring finger. "Once the time really comes, you can put the ring on the right hand," he explained, then leaned close and kissed Kagome on the lips as she quietly began to cry.
