Okay, so I held up my end of the deal, you guys got to 120+

Chapter Five- Day of playing

Three months have passed by since they found out Kagome was their friendly dog Kuro. It took them four days to get to Kaede's hut. They didn't want to go into battle while she was a in this situation. After a week and a half, she made a full recovery from all encountered fights.

Every now and then Inuyasha would come around and check on her or they'd go on a walk silently. The two of them would walk to Goshinboku to relax while Kagome received some petting from Inuyasha and then they'd return. Kagome enjoyed their time together; even thought it was a little pathetic. But they both had to be careful because their scent was getting a little wild to each others noses.

Miroku every now and then would try to fool around with Kagome. He would give her some dog food or a bone and give it to her. Kagome would growl at him and that send either Inuyasha or Sango to whack him on the head. The poor stupid monk got hurt twice as much than he normally did.

Sango and Kagome would go on walks too. Sometimes they went to the hot springs so Sango could bathe. Miroku still lurked around when she did and Kagome would find him and bark dangerously at him. That always sent Inuyasha coming out to find out what was wrong with Kagome. When she saw him she just pounce him and growl as well. Inuyasha didn't know it, but Kagome actually liked pouncing on him.

From time to time Kagome would mess around with Kirara and chase her. If Kirara wanted to change that, she turned into her huge demon cat form and chase her back. Then just for the fun of it, they would have a little cat dog fight. It was a little fun to watch every time.

Shippo loved playing with Kagome, and that's what he was doing now. He and Kagome were in the grassy fields of Inuyasha's forest. It was a place where they could go with Inuyasha's permission to play around in. Shippo played a few games with her and right now they were playing fetch.

"Get it mama!" Shippo shouted and through a stick.

Yeah, he called her mama now. He didn't care if she was a dog because she was still Kagome. She didn't like the idea of 'fetch' but she got to run around and please Shippo. Kagome returned back to Shippo with the stick in her mouth.

"Yay!" He cheered then lunged himself at her and hugged her around the neck. Kagome fell over.
"Shippo, you tackled me six times already." Kagome got up and looked at him.
Shippo had the biggest smile on his face right now. "Chase time!" He ran after her.

Kagome played along started to get chased around. Kirara saw and joined in with Shippo. She wasn't planning on getting caught, then saw Inuyasha walking around. An evil little scheme went into her mind and looked like she was going to crash into him.

"Kagome, what the hell are you doing?" Inuyasha shouted at her.She ran right between his legs quickly. Inuyasha turned around to look at her confusedly. Why was she running away? Then he heard a shout behind him.
"Watch out!" Shippo shouted.

CRASH!

Kirara and Shippo collided into Inuyasha's legs and he fell over them. Kagome barked at them from a distance. Inside, she was cracking up at her evil little plan. But, her little plan backfired once Inuyasha and the two little ones got up. All three of them were chasing Kagome around in the forest. Unfortunately it ended quickly because Inuyasha cheated and jumped in front her. He grabbed the fur on Kagome's neck and brought her face to his. Inuyasha glared dangerously at her but Kagome knew what could change that. She licked his nose and he blushed ferociously and froze. Kagome took that chance and got out of his grasp then started to run away. Kirara and Shippo caught up to Inuyasha.

"Why'd you let her go?" Shippo panted.
"You guys go to the hut. This time it's personal." Inuyasha growled.
"Hey, we were chasing her first!" He shouted.
"Too bad…" Inuyasha jumped into the tree and went after her.
"You suck Inuyasha!"

"Okay… I think I lost them…" Kagome panted and shook her body to get some dirt off.
"Boo…" A voice said in the trees and Kagome looked up to find Inuyasha. "Thought you can hide?" He asked curiously and jumped down.
"YOU CHEAT STUPID!" She growled and went into a playful attack mode.
"What, you want to challenge me? Go ahead and try." Inuyasha snickered.

Kagome ran and pounced on him. Inuyasha blushed a little from the closeness of their faces. She saw that and lifted head up and snorted. "Oh shit… his… his scent again…" Kagome looked back down at him. Her snout went next to his neck and nuzzled him. Inuyasha gave her his content growl of his approval and nuzzle his cheek against her. Kagome wanted his scent more, but got off him. He watched her walk over near his head. She used her muzzle and made him lift his head then she lied down. His head rested on rib cage looked at her. Those beautiful chocolate brown eyes they gave the only proof that she was Kagome, looked straight at him; showing him how much she missed him and spending time with him as a human. He brought his hand to her neck and rubbed her.

"Don't worry Kagome, we will find out how to you back, I promise." He told her softly.
"Inuyasha…" She whined lightly and sighed. Inwardly smiling softly, she went toward his little doggy ears. Kagome started to lick one softly and then nip at the end.
"Damn it Kaaaagoooomeeee." He gave her a submission growl and she proceeded on.
"I blame this dog body, and my love for you." Kagome laughed mentally as she saw his foot twitch when she licked his ear. When nipped at the top, Inuyasha's knee lifted slowly. Curious about the nipping affect, she started to lightly teeth on his ear and his entire leg shook. "Hehe, he's just like a real dog."
"You better watch it because you're a dog and I know ALL your disadvantages." Inuyasha smirked.

Kagome stopped teething and set her head on his shoulder. She was resting and thinking at moment. If she had known she was going to be the dog the rest of her life. She would've first told him that she loved him. But now… now she can't. No matter how much she would want to tell him. Inuyasha wouldn't be able to tell her.

Feeling her distressed, Inuyasha looked at her. "What's the matter Kagome?" He asked. If dogs could cry, she probably would be right now. Kagome turned her head off his shoulder.
"Hey Kagome, come on what's wrong?" He asked again as he sat up.
"What do you think. I get all this freakin' time with you, but I can't even tell you that I love you!" She did a growling whine and got up to leave.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha started.

Her body froze; waiting to hear if he would say something. But he didn't and so he sighed. She looked back at him for a second. His face seemed calm but sad. As if there was something to tell her but was afraid. Her body wanted to go to him yet her mind wanted to leave. The body won and she went to Inuyasha. He was now leaning against a tree with his legs spread out some, looking at her.

When Kagome walked right to him, he hugged her tightly. Not wanting to be let go or anything close to it. Inuyasha somewhat startled Kagome with his quick movements but couldn't do anything about it. Three long months since Kagome talked to him. Both their words were cruel.

Flashback

"Inuyasha you're such a jerk! I want to go home for five days so leave me alone!" Kagome shouted with tears forming quickly.
"What the hell are you yelling at me about you stupid wench!" Inuyasha voice was as equaled.
"You're always going to her when you think I'm not looking! I'm not stupid! You're always doing this!"
"Why the hell does it matter to you bitch!"
"It's tears me apart seeing you two together like that!" Kagome scream at him. Nothing was calming her down. "I HATE YOU!" She then jumped in the well.
"FINE, GO HOME! SEE IF I CARE YOU SLUT!" Inuyasha shouted down the well.

End Flashback

Just the thought of that night hurt her. She didn't mean to say 'I hate you' or anything. Kagome just couldn't talk, let alone argue with him. Inuyasha felt her trying to struggle away a little. He released but stared deeply in her eyes. His hand came up and rubbed against the side of her neck.

"Do… do you still hate me? From a while back I mean." Inuyasha's voice seemed uneven and nervous. Kagome sat in front of him and nuzzled the side of her head against his cheek. A small smile went across his face but it son disappeared. "I knew it hurt you, that I hadwent to see her. That's why I only went to her when you weren't paying attention… but… you knew didn't you?" He asked and she stopped nuzzling against him. "You knew when she was around so you would pretend to not notice or even care so that I would go to her." His made it sound like it was the fact. But he was right.

Sometimes when Kagome felt her presence or when Inuyasha caught her scent. She would talk to one of the others or pretend she was interested in something in the other direction. Then only a few seconds latter would she hear the rustling of his clothes going farther away. It never matter what she herself wanted, but it mattered to her about what he wanted.

"So I'm right aren't I?" He asked and she gave him a small nod of a 'yes' into his haori. "Do you not know how much it tears ME apart when YOU won't tell me these things!" He sounded a little aggressive and started to scare Kagome.
She jumped away from him and looked at him with a hurt expression. Feeling came to her legs and she bolted away. "Kagome no, wait!" Inuyasha shouted but she was already long gone. "Damn it all…" He sighed.

Kagome ran all the way to the hut then slowly walked in. Everyone looked at her and could tell that she was obviously exhausted from something. Sango looked a little worried. Miroku looked… well… perverted.

"Lady Kagome, why are you panting? Surely you didn't do anything with Inuyasha did you?" Miroku asked. Kagome just whimpered a little and lied down behind Sango.
"Mama… mama are you okay?" Shippo asked curiously. Kagome just hid her eyes behind one of her paws.
"I have a feeling it involves a certain hanyou." Sango stated. Kagome had enough of everyone bugging about her so she went to her sleeping bag and lied down there.

Inuyasha came in only minutes later and saw Kagome. Unfortunately when the two humans looked at him when he entered and noticed that he immediately looked at Kagome. Which usually meant they had a fight, Inuyasha ticked her off, or something about Kikyou.

"What did you do to mama you jerk!" Shippo pointed accusingly at Inuyasha.
"Shut up runt! I just asked her a question about and something else." Inuyasha snapped at him.
"You're truly an idiot." Miroku sighed.
"You want to start something!" Inuyasha growled.
"How are you so bold as to bring up Kikyou as a subject towards Kagome?" He questioned.
"What are you saying?" Inuyasha questioned back.

"Kagome doesn't like the subject because Kikyou had once tried to kill her!" Exclaimed the monk. Kagome heard that and immediately rose to her feet snarling dangerously at Miroku.
"Miroku! You weren't supposed to tell Inuyasha!" Sango shouted.
"I know; Lady Kagome, I'm sorry but he's too stupid to realize what does and does not pain you!" Miroku stated.
"You could've said a thing like that while I wasn't here!" Kagome continued to growl.
"Kagome, Kikyou has tried to kill you?" Inuyasha asked. Her growls died down and starred at the wall opposite from the doorway.
"Of course, and no matter how many times Kagome has saved her even!" Miroku stated.

SLAP!

"Stop telling Inuyasha these things! If Kagome wanted him to know, she would've told him!" Sango yelling.
"Thank you doctor obvious…" Kagome sighed and lied down once again.
"I know she doesn't want him to hear these things but what choice do we have! Inuyasha is always leaving and tearing her apart and right when she starts to heal the slightest, he goes out of his way for Lady Kikyou! Just like the time with the band of seven!" Miroku equally yelled.

Kagome snapped and charged at Miroku with her fur sticking up and snarling growing worse. He was tackled against the floor by an angry dog. What was her business, was her business and nobody else. Her fangs started to drip a little with saliva. She glazed at him with dangerous glares and Miroku only equally shared. He was right though and she couldn't do anything about. Inuyasha, Shippo, and Kirara were all watching as Kagome looked like she was going to bear her fangs into his throat.

(Think of it this way. It's a hot spring/summer day, Inuyasha snaps at you so you run off. When you see him again everyone is trying to defend you. Then Miroku is trying to get some sense into the hanyou's brain. Unfortunately those senses are something that was on the secretive side till he blew it out. Wouldn't you be mad too?)

"Lady Kagome I know you're angry at me, but you know what has to be done. If his skull is so thick then. you shouldn't bother to even love him." Miroku bellowed.
"That's enough Miroku, stop stressing her out. She's capable of tearing you apart piece by piece!" Sango yelled. "Kagome calm down. Let's go on a walk or something."

Her snarling died down slowly and the fur on her back started to lower down a bit. It was kind of hard to do when a perverted monk expressed HER feelings out loud where Inuyasha was there to hear it. Kagome's snarling then began to increase. Miroku's eyes were calm and serious. He knew she wouldn't attack him, they all knew it. But it didn't change the fact of what he did.

"M-mama?" Shippo stuttered.

That small little voice of Shippo; telling her that she was scaring him, broke her trance. Kagome's snarling and dangerous glares all stopped dead in their tracks. She turned to Shippo and saw him scared a little. Her head slowly went back to Miroku then to Shippo once more. Shippo wanted comfort so Kagome went to her sleeping bag and lied down behind Shippo. He purposely fell backwards against her body. To think the anger in the group was over. Inuyasha started to walk near Kagome but Sango stopped him.

"Leave her alone Inuyasha, she just went through a lot." Sango stated.
"Shut the hell up, I can talk to her when I please!" Inuyasha barked.
"If you care anything about her, then just leave her be for a while!" Sango shouted.
"…" Inuyasha started to growl dangerously. Kagome's head shifted a little to get his figure out of her sight. "Feh." He went to his corner.
"You should just let him talk to her even though she can't talk back." Miroku stated.
"Be quiet monk, you started the fight." Sango glared

"I didn't do anything, Inuyasha did most likely." He sighed. "I only eased Kagomes pain, you and I both know she's been keeping everything locked up."
"But what right did you have to tell Inuyasha for her?"
"The right as her friend. Normally you'd see Kagome or Inuyasha running off, are they right now?"
"No, Kagome doesn't have a choice to stay because Shippo wants her to. Inuyasha wants to talk to her but I'm not going to let that happen right now because calming her down is my priority for the moment!" Sango stood up and walked near Kagome then sat down by her side and petted her.
"It's a love triangle that we shouldn't have entered." Miroku sighed.
"I've heard enough of you talking!" Inuyasha shouted and whacked the monk unconscious. (Hey, it was going to happen sooner or later. So why not hit him now.)

Inuyasha has had enough. First, he found out that Kagome really did know about him going off to Kikyou every time. Second, he founds out that Kikyou has tried to kill Kagome. He never knew because every time he asked, she ignored. Third, he founds out Kagome has saved Kikyou a lot? Inuyasha only knew two times from miasma, but apparently there was more times then that. After that he realized that Kagome was always pushing whatever she wanted, for what Inuyasha wanted. Well, except for the going home part. Then he finds out Kagome loved him? Right when he was going to walk over to Kagome to say something in her ear, Sango stops him and tells him that he can't talk to her. He needed to think things through now. Inuyasha stood up and started to head over the exit. Something starting to feel like something was bothering him. Like when Kagome felt like he was abandoning her to find Kikyou. Maybe that was how she felt right now so he turned around to look at her. Sure enough though, she was looking at him with those saddened eyes of betrayal but of worry too.

A small smirk graced on his lips which soon turned into a frown. "Goshinboku." Inuyasha told her softly and left.

Kagome just starred at the door now where he disappeared. Inuyasha went to the god tree to clear his mind? At least he wasn't going to look for Kikyou. In fact, Kikyou wasn't a very far distance from Kaede's hut they were in. Oh well, it wasn't like there was anything she could do about if he decided to go look for Kikyou. A deep sigh came out of Kagome that she was holding back.

There... next one is the last chapter!
