Kagome held onto his hand as they ran towards the car. It was only an hour since the airing of Love Struck and already, a huge crowd of press and fans milled around the studio waiting to catch a glimpse of the couple.

They had almost reached the car when the crowd noticed the two and started chasing after them.

Inuyasha grabbed the door throwing Kagome in then jumped into the car himself driving off at full speed.

Kagome looked back at the crowding which grew smaller in size as they trail behind from the speed of the car.

She looked back at Inuyasha and smiled, she felt so happy for they were finally together.

No matter what, she promised to herself, we will be together. No matter what…

Inuyasha glanced at Kagome smirking to himself. "What are you smiling about?"

"Guess Inuyasha."

He pondered for a second then smile. "Is it because of the fact that everyone now knows you are with the most handsome popular and rich guy in Japan?"

Kagome glared at him slapping his arm.

"Don't be so full of yourself. If that's what you think, I'll rather you stop now so I can get out of this car."

Inuyasha ignore her request, instead he replied with: "Soon Kagome, soon you will see what I mean."

Inuyasha held Kagome as they gaze out to the rolling plains of lavender, his arms wrapped tightly around her waist.

"When everyone turns their back away, do you still stand and hold my hand?" He recited.

"I will be there to bring you through, with my hand through whatever pain." She replied and burst into laughter.

"I can't believe you still remember that silly poem I made."

Inuyasha chuckled lowering his head. "How can I ever forget Kagome, you were forever my light and I never need you more."

"Since when did you become so romantic Inuyasha?"

"Since the day you left me one year ago."

Kagome signed. "You did a rash thing today, not many people are going to accept our relationship."

"Who cares what others think?" He said hotly. "As long as we are together, I don't give a damn to their problems!"

Kagome clapped her hand over his mouth shushing him. "I can tell that Kikyo loves you Inuyasha, she will not give up easily."

"Don't misunderstand me…"

"I know Inuyasha, I am just reminding you that's all. I still have to convince mother about this too."

Inuyasha looked away. "I am not too concerned about Kikyo or your mother. It someone else that I am really worried of."

Kagome looked at him with a trouble expression. "You don't mean Naraku?"

Inuyasha didn't answer but she could tell from his expression that it was true.

"How can that be? I heard not a word of him nor has he done anything since that day!" She exclaimed.

"That's what I am worried about. He was going to make me pay my parent's crime and I don't think he would let me off that easily."

"I-I don't think we should-"

"No!" Kagome cried. "Don't say that Inuyasha! We've being apart for too long, I don't want to leave you again."

Inuyasha cupped his hand around her cheeks wiping away the tears.

"Are you not afraid of the dangers?"

"Not with you by my side." She answered boldly.

"Thank you Kagome. Thank you so much."

Inuyasha closed his eyes his shoulders sagging with relief. What I would give to have Kagome forever by my side he thought as they embraced…

"I can't believe this1!" Kikyo screamed smashing the vase into pieces. "He promised me, he promised."

Kikyo dropped onto the floor sobbing. "How can she do this to me? How can she take away the only man that I ever loved?"

At this moment, the phone suddenly started ringing. Kikyo snapped her head around.

"Inuyasha!" She whispered crawling to the phone pick it up.

"Hello my dear Kikyo."

"Inuyasha? Inuyasha is that you?" She cried clutching the phone.

"Sorry to disappoint you but unfortunately I am not Inuyasha. However I am someone who will be able to get you your precious Inuyasha back." The voice drawled.

"Who is this, I demand to know your name!"

"You won't be demanding anytime soon. Just listen to my plan and do as I say. I guarantee you will have our Inuyasha in the end."

"What-wait what do you mean?"

Her question was met with the sound of the dial tone. She hung up and sat down limply.

"What am I to do?" She said to her herself unaware of what she was going to get herself into pretty soon.

Kagome shrieked running out of the way as Inuyasha made a running dive to catch her.

"Stop this Inuyasha, I beg you!" She cried half laughing half dodging him.

"This is your punishment for leaving me for a year Kagome; I won't let you off this time." Inuyasha made a grab for her and tripped bringing Kagome down as well.

Both of them fell in the grass laughing out loud.

"I wish time would stop for moments like this." Kagome spoke wistfully after a moment then turned to face Inuyasha.

Their lips meet for a brief second hesitant at first then gained confidence and began devouring eat other. Inuyasha slipped his tongue into her mouth exploring every hidden crevice; his hands loving caressed her waist.

Suddenly he stiffened pulling away. Kagome opened her eyes confused at his sudden reaction but he wasn't looking at her, instead his eyes focused on an object behind her.

Inuyasha lowered his head pretending to kiss her while whispering urgently.

"I can't believe how fast the bastard is on us again." He swore.

"What do you mean?"

"We are being watched, I am not sure by how many though."

Kagome's eyes widen, worry flitting across her face.

"Pretend nothing has happened Kagome, just do as I say. Everything will be fine" He reassured her.

Kagome nodded and got up slowly following his prompt. They were nearing his car when gun fire broke out.

Inuyasha grabbed Kagome pushing her in front so that her back was covered then both of them made a run for the car.

They jumped in and speed off circling around for a few times to make sure they weren't being followed then continued their drive.

"Where are we going?" Kagome shouted to be heard over the wind at the speed they were driving.

"To my hotel where there would be more people and security. I won't be surprised if they are waiting at your house right now!" He replied just as loud.

"How can you be sure that they aren't watching your room?"

"I am not, but there is no where else I can think of now."

They droved on in silence for a while until the hotel came into view.

Inuyasha started swearing his head off when he saw the crowd outside.

"I should have remembered god damn it." He swore slamming on the brakes.

"How can the fans still be here? How long are they planning to wait for you?"

"Get use to it Kagome, the wonderful life of a superstar." He replied bitterly.

Kagome looked at him warily. "Wait Inuyasha, isn't there another way to get into the hotel?"

He started at her thinking deeply. "They might have a fire exit we can use but how do we approach the hotel without being noticed?"

Kagome smiled. "Leave it to me!" She said confidently.

Inuyasha open the door to his room slamming it behind him before collapsing on the ground in pain.

Kagome whirled around then shrieked when she saw the patch of blood on his shirt.

"Oh my god Inuyasha! You got shot! How can you hide it until now?" She exclaimed kneeling down and fumbling with his shirt.

"I didn't want to worry you." He replied drawing in his breath in short gasp.

"Let me call the hospital."

"No!" Inuyasha shouted grabbing her hand to stop her. "Its not to bad Kagome." He gasped.

"Just fix it."

"What the hell are you talking about?" She exploded. "There is a hole right through your chest!"

"Kagome, please!"

She hesitated staring at his painful form then surrendered in desperation.

"Wait here for a second Inuyasha. I need to go get some supplies." She stated coldly helping him into a comfortable position before grabbing the keys and walking out of the room.

When she returned Inuyasha was lying on the floor eyes closed and unconscious.

She hurried over to him carrying him onto the bed them pulled of his shirt exclaiming over the severity of the wound.

Muttering to herself, she did the best she could to stop the bleeding glad that the bullet went right through so she didn't have to take it out herself.

Awkwardly bandaging his chest, she laid him back onto the bed and waited for him to wake up.

Fear and anger knotted inside her heart as she prayed for Inuyasha's wellbeing. She promised herself that she was going to make the person pay thrice for what they have done to Inuyasha at whatever cost.
