Chapter 4:

Kagome Confronts Inuyasha and Vice Versa

Linde helped Kagome climb out of the well in the feudal era. She grabbed her back pack and began to walk towards the village with Kagome trotting behind her. Kagome had to jog to keep up with Linde.

"So, Kagome tell me why did you go back to your era?" Linde prodded very conversationally.

"Why do you want to know?" Kagome snapped.

"Kagome, darling, you do understand that, well…." Linde began with a very flattering act of uncertainty.

"Out with it."

"To put it bluntly……I'll find out anyway." Linde said with an evil grin.

"True, but promise me you won't go ballistic."

"I solemnly swear that I shall not go, as you deem it, ballistic." Linde said raising her hand.

"Alright."

"Not." thought Linde.

Kagome sighed to herself knowing all to well that this was not going to end up very well.

"Okay, well Inuyasha lied to me," Kagome said dejectedly. "I was walking around at night looking for Inuyasha because he walked off when Kikyou's creepy soul collector things showed up. I walked toward this one clearing. I heard familiar voices and when I looked from out behind a tree…I…..I…"

Kagome started cry softly.

"So that's why they were arguing," thought Linde angrily. "I'm going to kill him….I'm going to kill him…."

"Umm…Linde is something wrong?" Kagome asked sounding concerned.

"Oh nothing's wrong," Linde replied in an overly cheery voice. "The only thing wrong is that………….I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!"

Linde dropped Kagome's bag and ran out of the forest shrieking for Inuyasha while saying that she was going to murder him if it was the last thing she did (wonderful ain't it?). Kagome stopped dead in her tracks and started laughing to herself.

"Linde's hard to understand….a lot like Sesshomaru…..wait a minute, now that I think that, they really are the ideal couple. But how in the world am I going to get him to admit that he likes her? Much less her!" Kagome thought chuckling merrily.

---

"INUYASHA!" came an angry yell from the forest.

Inuyasha looked up with an irritated expression. He and Sesshomaru had been bickering again.

"Ah look, here she comes ready to tear you apart," Sesshomaru said grinning slightly. "Maybe she heard what you said about her."

"Oh shut up Sesshomaru." Inuyasha snapped angrily.

Inuyasha stopped dead when he saw Linde staring at him with a look that could spoil any new food. She grinned evilly.

"Hello, puppy, how are you?" Linde asked quietly (think how Kagura looks when she's showing her never-ending love for Kyo in Fruits Basket).

"Umm….Linde are you feeling okay?" Inuyasha asked sounding scared.

"Liaaaar!" Linde growled angrily.

"What?"

"DON'T PLAY DUMB WITH ME! NOW I KNOW WHY YOU TWO WERE ARGUING WHEN I GOT BACK! YOU FOUL-MOUTHED, MISOGYNIST, ARROGANT, NARROW-MINDED, DOG-BREATHED JERK!"

"What in the seven hells are you going on about?"

Linde let out a scream of rage and began hitting him on the head with her fists. Sesshomaru started laughing as Kagome walked up to him carrying her bag.

"Oh hello." Sesshomaru greeted her.

"My how unnatural he's acting." Kagome thought.

She looked over at Inuyasha being pounded by a furious Linde as she screamed horrible names at him.

"She found out?" Sesshomaru asked amiably.

"Yup….I told her and then-" Kagome began.

"Read your mind." Sesshomaru finished.

"Yeah." Kagome replied.

"Before my moronic brother collapses, I think you should stop her." Sesshomaru suggested laughing softly.

Kagome nodded in agreement and walked up to Linde and pushed them apart.

"I'll take it from here." Kagome informed her.

"But Kagome!" Linde whined.

"No!" Kagome said firmly.

Linde stalked off grumbling to herself. She sat on the fence watching with mild interest. Sesshomaru was sitting beside her chuckling softly.

"This sucks." Linde groaned.

"You may think it is." Sesshomaru replied.

"And what is that implying?" Linde snapped.

"Do you want to see what's going to happen to my moronic brother?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Now that you mention it, yes." Linde replied laughing.

They turned their attention to Kagome and Inuyasha (I am sooo evil, I love my job smiles). Inuyasaha looked rather nervous and Kagome was giving him a look that only women can.

"Well?" Kagome asked tapping her foot.

"Well, what?" replied Inuyasha.

Kagome stopped tapping her foot with a look of incredulity.

"Well, what? Well, what?" Kagome repeated in a deadly whisper.

"What?" Inuyasha asked.

"Inuyasha, you don't say 'well what' to an angry woman." Miroku informed him as he joined Linde and Sesshomaru.

"Tactless." Sango muttered.

"Shut up." Inuyasha snapped.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed.

"What?" Inuyasha replied quickly turning towards Kagome.

Out of the corner of his eyes Inuyasha saw the look on Linde's face. It was impassive and cold and she was looking right at him.

"Kagome, did you tell her?" Inuyasha whispered.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK I DID! SHE WOULD HAVE FOUND OUT ANYWAY!" screamed Kagome.

Linde stood up and walked towards Inuyasha with the same expression. There was an awkward silence as Linde stared at Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha, when she said well she wants something ," Linde growled, her voice growing in volume. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK SHE WANTS! ARE YOU THAT THICK! APPARENTLY BECAUSE YOU ARE SO DENSE THAT YOU DON'T EVEN REALIZE THAT SANGO, MIROKU, ME, AND EVEN YOUR BROTHER KNOW WHAT SHE WANTS!"

"I really don't know." Inuyasha explained desperately.

"Walk with me." Linde replied grabbing him by the arm and walking off.

They watched Linde drag off a protesting Inuyasha and then heard a resounding shout.

"INUYASHA GET A CLUE AND GO APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT YOU DID!" came the sound of Linde's angry voice.

Everyone sweatdropped as Linde came back dragging Inuyasha.

"Now do you know what I want?" Kagome asked.

"Yes." mumbled Inuyasha.

"Well?" Kagome asked.
"I'm sorry." Inuyasha mumbled.

"Inuyasha, sit!" Kagome said.

Inuyasha fell flat on his face and Linde smiled happily again.

"Kagome let's go take your stuff to Kaede's." Sango said.

"Okay." Kagome agreed.

"I'll go too, that way you merry men can have a nice little chat about how tactless Inuyasha is." volunteered Linde with an air of insulting flattery.

"We are not merry." Sesshomaru pointed out flatly.

"I don't know about you, but Miroku always seems to be in a good mood for some odd reason." Linde replied.

The three girls walked back to Kaede's hut with Kagome's bag. Miroku was laughing at Inuyasha.

"Shut up Miroku," Inuyasha groaned standing up. "I don't know what her problem is."
"Well, Inuyasha when a woman thinks you are a two-timer they're going to be furious." Miroku said optimistically.

"But I'm not!" he denied hotly.

"Well, why don't you tell us what really happened." Sesshomaru suggested.

"Miroku knows."

"Actually, I only know what Sango told me."

"Sango told you what happened?"

"Well, she told me what Kagome told her."

"That's confusing."

"So, tell us Inuyasha, what really happened?"

"Yes, do tell."

Inuyasha sighed and glared at Miroku and Sesshomaru. Miroku looked at him innocently and Sesshomaru returned the glare.

"Fine." Inuyasha said relenting to their prying.

Miroku grinned. Sesshomaru looked at him expectantly as if telling him silently to cough up with his side of the story.

"Well we all know that Kikyo showed up three days ago with her creepy soul creature things, and I went to talk to her," Inuyasha told them reluctantly. "She was saying all this weird stuff and I told her to leave. Naturally enough the creepy bitch wouldn't listen. So we started arguing and then she started hitting on me! That was what Kagome saw and after she ran away. I told her to leave and went after her. She started yelling at me and wouldn't listen to anything I said."

"Oh but of course she just had to say the 's' word." Miroku added with glee.

"And here I thought you could get no worse." muttered Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha glared at Sesshomaru.

"Do you know what you have to do now Inuyasha?" Miroku asked.

"Tell Kagome?" Inuyasha guessed.

"It's exactly like Linde said, you are really slow," Sesshomaru remarked coldly. "How did I get stuck with a slow useless bum for a brother?"

Inuyasha looked ready to kill Sesshomaru and Sesshomaru looked the same. Miroku sweatdropped.

"Ummm……shouldn't we be going to Kaede's?" Miroku interrupted looking slightly nervous.

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha looked at Miroku as if he was insane.

"I'm not going anywhere near Kagome until she's calmed down." Inuyasha protested.

"Inuyasha, you're going to have to apologize to her and tell her what actually happened eventually." Miroku explained patiently.

"Inuyasha, apparently you were given a rock for a brain." Sesshomaru said.

"Shut up, Sesshomaru." Inuyasha ordered.

"Why?"

"I'm not going to bother."

"Okay, here's a compromise: Don't explain everything to her until we've gone on the search for more jewel shards and to kill Naraku." Miroku suggested.

"No!"

Miroku hit him over the head with his staff.

"Yes."

"Fine."

---

"Inuyasha is such a jerk!" Kagome cried in indignation as they sat chatting in Kaede's hut.

"Inuyasha is hard to understand sometimes but his intentions are usually good." Kaede replied.

"You're right Kaede, I just wish he wouldn't keep doing this." Kagome said.

Linde grinned mischievously.

"Hey, let's go visit our old friend Koga!" Linde suggested.

"WHAT!" came a yell.

Linde looked up and saw Inuyasha standing there looking furious.

"Well, yeah." Linde said.

"Why?" Inuyasha asked.

"To torture him." Linde replied.

"I like that idea." Sesshomaru said.

Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha.

"Oh and don't you have something to say to Kagome?" Sesshomaru said nonchalantly while looking slightly evil.

"What are ye plotting Sesshomaru?" Kaede asked suspiciously.

"Nothing." Sesshomaru replied guiltily.

"Liar." grinned Linde.

"Inuyasha let's walk." Kagome said standing calmly.

She grabbed Inuyasha by the hand and walked outside with him. Kagome dragged into the forest.

"Is there something you want to say?" Kagome demanded.

"Kagome, I'm sorry and you need to know that what you saw wasn't what really happened," Inuyasha told her. "I was telling the creepy bitch to lay off and leave, but she wouldn't listen. Then you saw that and you ran off. I told her to leave again and then I went after you. You wouldn't listen though."

"So that's what really happened?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah."

"Okay, I believe you on one condition."

"What?"

"SIT!"

Inuyasha fell flat on his face.

"THAT WAS YOUR CONDITION!" Inuyasha yelled furiously.

"Yeah."

Inuyasha fell silent.

"Fine."

"Now I think that we'll take Linde's suggestion and go visit Koga." Kagome replied happily.
