Kagome and the others had been on the road now for about two weeks, Inu-Yasha had been helping Kagome with her swordsmanship, and she was getting a lot better at it.

"That was great Kagome!" Inu-Yasha watched as she practiced with Tensia.

"Thanks." She smiled and her white fangs gleamed. Inu-Yasha felt a pang in his heart.

'I love her smile' He stared at her, it felt like he had been staring at her for hours, until-

"Inu-Yasha?" She was standing in front of him now, with a look of concern on her face.

"Nothing Kagome, I just think that you are doing a wonderful job." She hugged him, rubbing her face in his shirt.

"Thanks." She was muffled by his shirt. He had lost his breath at the sudden movement, for it had been a long time since anyone so beautiful had ever even touched him in such an affectionate way. After Kagome let him go, he started to breath again. Kagome smirked, and then stepped closer to him.

"I felt your heart beat quicken, do you feel uncomfortable when I touch you?" She teased as she traced a circle on his chest. He went red from embarrassment.

"N-no!" He said quickly, he would get pay back for that, he could play this game to. While she trailed her circles on his chest, he slowly brought his hands up to her waist; she didn't seem to notice this. Then he brought his head down a little lower.

"Hey Kagome?" He breathed in her ear, making her shiver.

"Ya?" She had also turned red, and was avoiding eye contact. Inu-Yasha knew that she was just now realizing how close they were. He bent down a little lower to look into her eyes, for she had bent her head down to avoid him.

"I think you deserve a reward for all your hard work today." He gave himself a mental pat on the back. His work was almost complete!

'Man I'm good!' He mused to himself. He felt her stiffen in his grip and smirked. He brought his right hand up and began to stroke her hair affectionately, and then he seized her fuzzy black ear softly and began to rub it in a soft pattern. He felt her immediately melt in his arms, she even began to purr. She put her hands on his chest and leaned on him as he continued to stoke her ear. Inu-Yasha's original plan was to do something to get Kagome red in the face from embarrassment, since she did it to him. It was a totally different story now. Now imagine how these two looked, Inu-Yasha holding Kagome lovingly, it was perfect, and he didn't care about anything else other than her right now.

Shippo skipped through the field, he always brought Kagome a flower whenever they stopped. He walked through a thicket of tall grass to get to a small patch of blue and yellow flowers. He had just picked out a very pretty blue one, when everything around him went black; the last thing he saw was the flower drop to his feet, and the evil face of Kagura glaring down at him with a look of triumph.

"Kagome…"

Kagome had bee in Inu-Yasha's arms for about ten minutes, her now discarded Tensia a few feet from where they now stood. When she finally realized how long they were like that, she finally stepped away, a huge blush across her face.

"Uh, I think we should get going Inu-Yasha, Shippo left a long time ago to go find something, and he hasn't been back yet." She looked up at the sky which was now starting to get a bit dark.

"OK then Kagome." Inu-Yasha kissed her on the forehead. "I'll go find him for you." Inu-Yasha ceased to notice that that simple kiss gave her shivers all throughout her body. She merely nodded in understanding, feeling dazed. As Inu-Yasha ran away, she sat down next to her bag .the last time she saw Miroku and Sango, they said that they were going to go up to the mountain nearby to check things out, they wouldn't be back for another week or so. She sighed and closed her eyes, the day's events going through her head. All she could think about was Inu-Yasha. She lay down on the soft blanket.

"Oh Inu-Yasha…" She sighed out, but her thoughts about the silver haired man were quickly erased when she reopened her eyes. A soft glow of purple was radiating off of her backpack. She shot back up as soon as she saw this.

"Oh no! Shippo, he's hurt!" It took Kagome a fraction of a second to grab the wooden heart, grab her sword, and run as fast as she could to catch up to Inu-Yasha.

'Oh Shippo, I'm so sorry. I should have gone looking for him earlier. ' Silent tears streamed down her pale face, falling to the ground as she ran.

Miroku looked up, Sango wasn't back yet from her bath, and he was getting a cramp from being tied to the tree for an hour.

"She didn't have to resort to this, tying me up like this." He grumbled.

"Oh yes I did." Miroku almost jumped out of his skin when he heard Sango's soft voice through the stillness of the night.

"Sango! You scared me!" He would have put a hand to his chest, but he couldn't really move much since they were stuck to his sides. He felt Sango behind him, and then he felt the ropes loosen.

"Better?" she asked. He brought his hands up to his face to examine them.

"Much better." He flexed his stiffened fingers and then got up and stretched. "Did you have a nice bath?" Miroku asked. Sango went over to her small leather bag to stuff her causal clothes in before answering him.

"It was quite fine actually." She turned and smiled at him. "And how was your hour of being alone and tied to a tree?" She said in a voice that sounded like she was talking about the weather.

"I have never had as much fun tied to that tree than any other tree ever." Just to add some effect to his sarcastic remark, he went over to the tree and started to pat it. "I'll miss you man, we had some great times together." Sango burst out laughing from this, and Miroku's heart fluttered.

'I love her laugh, it sounds so sweet.' He watched her silently while she put out the fire. The two had been on the mountain for about three days now, and they still hadn't sensed a single thing. They might leave early if this kept up, but for now he just wanted to be in sango's company.

Kagome could smell Shippo's scent, and quickly sped up when she recognized that of Kagura's. Soon she came upon a large field which was filled with tall grass that reached up and stopped at her waist. She saw that right in the middle of it all was Inu-Yasha; she could spot him easily because he stood out from his hair and clothes. He must have caught her scent because he turned in her direction.

"Inu-Yasha!" She ran to him and threw her arms around his neck at once, sobbing into his shirt.

"He's gone Inu-yasha, she stole him and it's all my fault!" Inu-Yasha knew who she was talking about; Kagura had taken Shippo on Naraku's orders. He and Kagome were now standing in the exact spot where Shippo had been abducted. He felt the young women shudder in his arms.

"It's not you fault he's gone Kagome, and don't worry, we'll find him." His soft, soothing words seemed to calm her down a bit.

"Why didn't we feel it earlier?" She whispered, looking up at him.

"She probably put up some barrier to mask herself." He said through clenched teeth. 'Damn woman!' As he looked around, he saw out of the corner of his eye that Kagome was falling, but quickly realized that she had just been bending down to examine something on the ground.

"Shippo…" He heard her whisper in a faint voice, sounding as if she were about to start to cry again.

"What is it Kagome?" He looked curiously at the blue thing clutched in Kagome's hand. "A flower?" He then saw that the flower was starting to get wet. He looked and saw that it was Kagome, she was crying and her wet tears had fallen onto the flower, it looked like it had just been rained on. His heart broke, he felt sorry for Kagome. His thoughts were interrupted by Kagome.

"Shippo said that he was going out to get something for me, this flower must have been it." She stroked the petals softly, almost as if the flower were Shippo himself. She then took out the small box that she had been keeping her heart in and opened it. The heart still glowed with a metallic purple. She carefully set the flower inside, her hands shaking as she did so. Kagome had only one thing on her mind after that,

Revenge

She stood up abruptly; a look of determination planked her face. She had never loathed anyone so much as much as she did Naraku right then. But for now, all she had was Kagura.

'He's ruined all my friend's lives. Sango and her brother, Miroku and his cursed hand, Inu-Yasha…and Kikyo, and now she has taken someone from me that I truly love!' Every second that Shippo was not in her arms she felt the anger on her anger scale rise with rapid speed , and by now her scale was about to explode.

"We have to find Naraku and put a stop to this!" she said to Inu-Yasha with a look of anger filling her face.

"But he left no trace other than the scent, but that's old now." As the words escaped Inu-Yasha's mouth, a sudden wind picked up, blowing both half demon's hair around their heads wildly.

"Kagura!" Kagome raged "Come out here so I can kill you!" She he demanded, baring her claws and fangs, ears flat against her head.

"Are you upset little girl?" Kagura slinked out of the swirling winds. She spoke to Kagome s if she were a five year old. Kagura laughed evilly at her own remark she must have hit a soft spot, because Kagome lunged at her, prepared to rip out her throat.

"You bitch! Give Shippo back or I'll kill you right here and now!" Kagura dodged Kagome's gleaming claws by mere inches. Fear flashed her face for a moment, but was gone a moment later.

"Empty threats will get you nowhere in life little girl." Kagura could almost see the hate pouring off of Kagome.

"Just give him to me!" Kagome had a mixture suddenly of sadness come into her rage, she wanted Shippo back, and she was going to do everything that she could to get him back.
