Inuyasha awoke; his head pounding. What… I'm still alive? Kagome… Damn! Inuyasha looked around him; Kagome's scent was everywhere, and he could smell it going off the path; to the west. Who could have wanted to take Kagome away from me? The bastard will die… Inuyasha tried to stand, but his ankle gave away under him. Damn, it's broken… Inuyasha lifted up his kimono, and stared at his badly banged up ankle. Perfect. He thought, sarcastically.

"Inuyasha!" called a voice from behind him. Inuyasha turned around, Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara all ran towards him. "Inuyasha are you alright?" asked Miroku, bending down to take a better look at his ankle.

"It's broken," he said.

"What happened to you Inuyasha?" asked Shippo, coming to Inuyasha's side.

"A demon came, I couldn't kill it; it had 4 jewel shards. Every time I sliced it to bits it just re-assembled itself. Anyway, it was a diversion, somebody took Kagome. I can't get up to sniff out the person's scent though, because of my damn ankle."

"You mean Kagome was with you?" asked Sango, concerned.

"Yes," answered Inuyasha, more worried than he appeared to be. "We have to find her," said Inuyasha, attempting to stand again. "Damn!" he collapsed onto the ground.

"We'll have to put a brace on your ankle Inuyasha – but it could take a while," said Miroku.

"Hurry it up will ya? We don't have any time to waste!" yelled Inuyasha. He seems very worried… thought Miroku.

"Alright, me and Kirara will go get bandages from Kaede's, and we'll bring them back here," said Sango, hopping onto Kirara.

"I'll go too," said Shippo.

"I will stay here with Inuyasha, hurry you two," added the monk.

"Tell me the whole story Inuyasha," said Miroku, sitting down beside him. Miroku expected a 'no way' or 'bug off' but instead Inuyasha took a deep breath, and began. To Inuyasha's surprise, he wanted to tell Miroku about him and Kagome. Ever since him and Kagome at talked about their feelings, he felt more confident and open.

"I went after Kagome and Kouga, and caught up to them about two hours after I left you, Sango, and Shippo. I watched from the trees, Kouga kissed Kagome on the head and told her he was going to get some fish; he said she should start a fire. Kagome merely nodded." Inuyasha looked over at Miroku, he looked totally and completely surprised. Inuyasha continued, "I was just as shocked. Kagome was crying when I went to her, I sat down and we talked. She had agreed to marry Kouga if he left me and Kikyou – she didn't want me and Kouga to fight. After a while she got up and walked away."

"And…? You stopped her? You held her? You kissed her? What happened Inuyasha?" asked Miroku, too absorbed in the story to let Inuyasha stop.

"Yeah."

"… Yeah what? All three?" Inuyasha laughed a little, nodding. Miroku grinned, "About time…" Inuyasha let the comment slide, he needed to get up and sniff out who had taken Kagome.

"Help me up Miroku," he said.

"No way, you need to sit here until we get the sprint!" Inuyasha glared at Miroku, he wanted to get up and Miroku didn't want a beating. "Very well," Miroku sighed, giving Inuyasha a hand up. "Just don't put weight on it." Inuyasha kneeled down, putting his nose to the ground. Kagome's scent goes this way… that means the other scent should be-

"Sesshomaru? WHAT THE HELL?"

"What is it Inuyasha?" asked Miroku, concerned.

"Sesshomaru… Sesshomaru took Kagome…! What the hell does he want with her?"

"I suspect he took her as bait for you Inuyasha."

"I'm going to kill that bastard…" fumed Inuyasha, taking a step towards the woods.

"Inuyasha – wait! Your ankle-" called Miroku. Inuyasha's ankle buckled again, and he fell to the ground.

"Damn it!" he said, his voice muffled by the dirt and grass surrounding his head.

"Inuyasha, we're back!" called Shippo, jumping off Kirara with a basket of bandages.

"About time…" said Inuyasha. Miroku kneeled by him and slowly began to bandage his foot.

Thirty minutes later, Inuyasha managed to stand, the pain was just as bad; but running wouldn't make the break worse.

"Alright, let's go." He said, running ahead.

"But Inuyasha – the new moon!"
