Chapter 4: A Run In

" Wake up, you two! Let's go! INUYASHAAAAA! KAGOMEEEEE!" said Shippo at the top of his little lungs.

"Ship- what? That smell . . ." said Inuyasha, and took off.

"Inuyasha! Where are you going?" said Kagome. Oh yeah, now I know. Why does he always do that? He expresses his feelings to me, and then goes looking for Kikyo. Well, it is to be expected. He must still love her. I have to stay away, but I can't! I just can't! I know I love him! He doesn't love me though . . . I think I am gonna be sick, thought Kagome.

"I'm going for a walk!"

Meanwhile,

"Kikyo? Is- is that you?" said Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha. What brings you to me? Why are you here!" she said, taking out her bow and arrow.

"No, Kikyo! I am not here for violence! I want to talk to you," he said.

"Very well," she repied.

"Kikyo, why do you hate me so much now? I haven't done anything! And about what happened fifty years ago, you can't still be mad about that?" he said again.

"I hate you because I am dead. I despise all living creatures, and you are so," Kikyo said.

" But Kikyo! You can't- I still have feelings for you!" he said.

"I might as well, but we are not meant to be. We are in two different worlds," she said again, running over to embrace him. Just then, Kagome walked straight in on the situation.

"You idiot! You Jerk! Inuyasha, I hate you! I don't care if you say you care for me, or . . . whatever! I am not listening anymore! Have a nice life, Inuyasha!" she said in a huff and started to run, when again, Inuyahsa grabbed her by the arms.

"We will meet again, Inuyasha," and Kikyo was off.

"Wait, Inuyasha! Let go of me! I am not taking this crap anymore! I am leaving for good!" said Kagome, trying to break free.

"I don't want you to leave. This is all really hard for me, don't you understand?" said Inuyasha pulling her to him once again.

"Inuyasha, please let go of me!" Kagome said.

"No! I will never let go!' he said, and held her even tighter.

And finally, she returned the love.

A/N: I promise the next chapter will be longer; this one would have been, but I had had it prewritten. I promise more action than in the previous chapters, and also a "sit" moment! Uh oh, Naraku coming . . .
