Chapter Four

It's pretty natural to see someone crying. Everyone cries, whether they were happy or sad. But...to see someone you love crying and whimpering her sleep...that was a totally different story.

Inuyasha's ears started twitching and his head jerked up from his light sleep. He closed his eyes and quietly sniffed the air. Golden eyes snapped opened. Something's wrong.

Sesshomaru left the young woman as soon as she fell asleep, tired from all her tears. He left the young woman in a loincloth no less too.

Inuyasha gently leaped down from the tree he was perched in and paused to see if he had awoken anyone. Nope. Miroku was asleep, snoring the night away; Sango was two feet away from the monk, obviously dreaming about something pleasant; Shippo was curled into Kirara's fur and Kagome….

…she was crying in her sleep…

"…no…please…don't go….inu..yasha…no…" Inuyasha's ears twitched to catch what little words he could and frowned. Why would she think I would leave her? I promised I would stay with her didn't I? He lightly stepped towards the young miko and plopped down beside her.

"…please…don't do it….kikyo…don't…" The half-demon's brows furrowed together in thought. Kikyo? Why would Kikyo hurt Kagome? Another whimper escaped the pink lips of Kagome and Inuyasha sighed. I'm sorry Kagome…I promise when everything's back to normal and Naraku's defeated, I'll make it up to you.

His conscience was biting at him again. Then why did you say all those things to her? He growled. What else was I suppose to do? Go and beg her to forgive me in front of the bastard? He knew his conscience was right. But how could he take all those harmful words back when his brother was around? How could he do that through his mist of anger?

I'm so sorry…so very sorry…And he planted a chaste kiss upon her lips; InuYasha jumped back onto the tree and waited for sunrise. Little did the group know, a pair of golden eyes saw everything.

Swirls of pink, red, orange, and yellow mixed in the once dark skies, signaling the arrival of dawn. A pair of sapphire eyes slowly blinked their way from sleep. Her mind groggily tried to process the dream that obviously left her head pounding. Ugh…my eyes are still sore from all that crying…I must look hideous…

She slowly pushed the covers of her sleeping bag off of her and stood up. Kami…I could really use some comfort about now…

Her movement caused Inuyasha to awake from his light slumber.

"Keh! Why are you still lingering around. Hurry up! We have shards to find!"

"Inuyasha…SIT! Inuyasha no baka! SIT!" With two thumps Inuyasha fell off the tree and created a massive hole into his beloved ground.

"Huh? Kagome-chan, is there a demon?" asked a just awoken Sango.

"No, Sango-chan. There is just one idiot." Kagome huffed and syomped her way into the forest. "And don't follow me!" she called to the hole, where Inuyasha layed.

"Inuyasha that bakayarou…Treats me like nothing but shit. Ugh…and I feel a headache coming…Stupid hanyou…"

Kagome stopped her mumbling when she came crushing into a hard chest; thus leading her on her behind.

"Oww…" Oh Kami, I knew I should have watched where I was going…why did I choose to look at the ground?…stupid habit…

"So we meet again woman." Kagome stopped her musings and froze. Her heart was pounding loudly in her chest. Surely that can't be…Please dear Kami…don't let it be…She slowly lifted her head from the ground and paled.

Sesshomaru.

Holy sweet snow! I haven't updated for over four months. Gomen, gomen. I wasn't allowed onto the internet and I will not be allowed on the internet until November. So please, with all due respect don't hate me…I know this chapter was short, but it was better than nothing right?…RIGHT!

I'm sorry but there will be no reviewers' corner (past, present and possibly future). Fanfiction (dot) net has decided to forbidden answering to reviewers. So I'm sorry.
