Last Time:
"I wouldn't worry about that. I doubt Sesshomaru will be able to kill Naraku, even with Kagura's help." Kagome answered. "Let's just take the day to rest." Sango and Miroku nodded in agreement and Yusuke turned to his fellow spirit detectives.
"Well guys, you wanna rest up a bit before we take on Naraku?" He asked.
"I would appreciate the rest."
"I'm ok with it."
"Hn."
"I'll take that as a yes." Yusuke said reffering to the last answer.
"Hold it right there!" A voice behind them shouted. They turned around to see-
Now:
Kagome turned around and saw that the voice belonged to.-

CLIFFY! Haha Just kidding. That would've been a really gay chapter. Even I'm not THAT evil. Or am I? Ok so what were we talking about again? Oh yes, Kagome turned around to see InuYasha.
DUN DUN DUN
"What the fuck? Where is that music coming from?" Yusuke asked looking around. None of the others appeared to have heard the music.
"InuYasha!" Miroku called out with surprise.
"I have the remaining pieces of the sacred jewel. All I need is the pieces you have and I'll be able to complete it." InuYasha said getting right to the point. He looked at the spirit detectives with a confused expression on his face and then his gaze fell on Kagome. She returned his gaze with an icy stare. Everyone watched silently as for several moments the two stared each other down. "Kagome, I need to talk to you, alone." InuYasha finally said breaking the silence. Kagome thought about it for a moment.
"Alright." She said flatly and then follwed him to a quiet part of the village. "So what do you want, InuYasha?" Kagome asked coldly and purposely not looking at him as she spoke.
With the Spirit Detectives and the rest of the Inu crew :
"Who the hell was that?" Yusuke asked.
"That was InuYasha, the one Kagome had a fight with." Sango said simply.
"He's not gonna do anything to hurt her again is he?" Kuwabara asked with alarm.
"No, he won't." Miroku answered.
"How can you be so sure, Miroku? I mean I never thought of InuYasha being truly mean, but then he did say those awful things to Kagome. How do you know for sure that he won't do that again?" Shippo asked.
"He just has a feeling, and I get the same feeling to. Right Miroku?" Sango said looking in Miroku's direction and trying to catch his eye. Miroku didn't respond for a moment, but then he met Sango's gaze.
"Yes, I just have a feeling." Miroku answered quickly. Shippo gave the two of them a weird look and responded,
"If you say so." The spirit detectives also studied Sango and Miroku. They were not stupid. They could tell that Sango and Miroku knew something about all this. Hiei tried to see into Miroku's mind with his Jagan eye to find out more about this, but to his annoyance Miroku had put up a mental block that made sure that no one could see into his mind. He considered trying Sango, but then thought that she might have one too, and he didn't want to be blocked again.
/"Fox, what do you think they know?"/ Hiei asked Kurama telepathically.
/"I'm not sure, I only have my guesses. You shouldn't worry though, apparently Kagome is going to be fine."/ Kurama responded.
/"Hn, you've misjudged my intentions. I don't care about the girl. I'm merely curious."/ Hiei said, or rather thought, annoyedly.
/"Oh really? Whatever you say, Hiei."/ Kurama said and then he closed the link.
"Stupid kitsune. He knows me too well. But it's not that I care because I love her. It's because seeing someone get hurt by someone they care for brings back too many painful memories...right?" Hiei thought.
"Maybe we should send someone to follow them to make sure InuYasha doesn't try to hurt Kagome." Kuwabara suggested.
"Hn, the girl isn't as defenseless as you all think." Hiei said rembering when he had been in her mind and she had killed the demon with one of her sacred arrows.
With Kagome and InuYasha :
"Kagome, I want to tell you something." InuYasha began. Kagome said nothing and InuYasha took her silence as a sign that she wanted him to go on. "All those things I said before, I only said them so that you would leave this time and return to your own. I was afraid that something would go wrong on our quest to kill Naraku. I didn't want to put you in any danger, and...and you have a nice life in your time. You have a lot of friends, a nice family, and I'm sure you wouldn't have any trouble finding someone else to love. I just didn't want anything bad to happen to you." InuYasha stared at Kagome intently waiting for her response.
Kagome was unsure of what to do. She was shocked, flattered, embarassed, angry, relieved, and insulted all at the same time. She was glad that InuYasha hadn't really meant what he had said, but it also made her feel stupid for wasting all that time crying over him when it had been nothing. She was also a little annoyed that InuYasha didn't think she could take care of herself.
"InuYasha you idiot! Why didn't you just tell me that? And do you really think I can't take care of myself? SIT BOY!" Kagome repeated the last sentence over and over again until she felt a little better.
"No Kagome, I don't think your weak or anything. I was just afraid for you. I only wanted to protect you because I couldn't stand the thought of losing someone I loved." InuYasha said.
Now Kagome was really confused. That was so sweet. InuYasha wasn't really such a bad guy. And he obviously cared about her a lot if he was willing to say things he didn't mean to her just to protect her. But he had known that what he said was going to hurt her before he said it. He knew it was going to be enough to really hurt her enough to make her never want to come back to the Fuedal Era. If he really cared about her, wouldn't he have just talked to her about it, instead of purposely hurting her feelings? What if he was just being nice to get her to hand over her jewel shards so that he could fulfill his wish to become full demon? Uhh why did this have to be so confusing?
"Umm..." Kagome said trying to show InuYasha that she didn't know what to say.
"Look, if your still mad I can understand, but you should decide to do something." InuYasha said almost impatiently. For a moment Kagomw wondered if the last part of his sentence reffered to the jewel shards, or if she wanted to be his friend again.
"Umm I think I need some time to think this over. I'll get back to you in the morning ok?" Kagome said and then she started to walk away quickly. InuYasha just let her go, but as she was walking away Kagome failed to notice the zombie-like look in his eyes and she had just assumed that the jewel shards she sensed were the ones InuYasha already had. She hadn't bothered to look and see that they were in his back, legs, and sword. She had been so distracted with what he had told her that she hadn't bothered to ask how he had gotten the remaining jewel shards, considering they belonged to Naraku and Kohaku.
So that's where I'm ending it. I apologize for the shortness of it and the weirdness at the begining of the chapter. I do have a good idea as to where this story is going and how it's going to end so it should only take me about a week tops to get the next chapter up.
