They had been walking for hours and Kagome said they should make camp and start on dinner. They all agreed. Koga was still mad at Inuyasha for taking the last rice ball. Shippo was asking Inuyasha to play hide and seek. Inuyasha said "for the thousandth time no way" Shippo begged more "pleas Inuyasha it will be fun" Inuyasha looked at him and said "ok ill count" Kagome talked to Inuyasha as Shippo left "its nice off you to play with Shippo. How long will you count" Inuyasha looked up and said "I don't know I bet after twenty minuets he will figure out I'm not coming" Kagome looked at Inuyasha and in a stern voice said "you go find him or ill S-I- T you till you cant even stand on your own.
Inuyasha let out a feh as he walked after Shippo. Kagome let out a sigh as he walked away. By the time Inuyasha and Shippo came back diner was ready. Kagome looked over the two and saw that they were covered in mud, Shippo looked happy and she had never seen Inuyasha have a smile so big, she asked them what had happened "Shippo told her that when they were playing hide and go seek they fell in the mud and had a mud fight.
Kagome said they would have to bath after diner. This was meat with two simultaneous
"Ok If we have to".
Inuyasha had given all hope of using chopsticks and was about to dig in with his hands when Kagome stopped him "Inuyasha your fingers are covered in dirt". Inuyasha stopped and said "so". Kagome looked at him and said "you get sick or worse" Inuyasha just said "so" again. Kagome now had a vain pulsing in her head and said "Inuyasha" and pulled him on to her lap and started to spoon feed him.
Later that night at the spring when they were bathing, Koga started to laugh at Inuyasha. "So you can't even eat on your own can you". Inuyasha looked up and said "leave me alone". Koga just kept pestering him "well I guess this is good you won't be getting in the way of me and Kagome any more I guess" Inuyasha got mad but then got an idea, he swam over to Kagome and asked if she could wash his hair. (Ok I'm not a perv Kagome gave every body a bathing suit from her seemingly bottomless bag, ok) Koga was now getting jealous of Inuyasha who was leaning up against Kagome who had a two piece on as she washed his long silver hair.
They were all getting ready for bed except Inuyasha who was sitting wrapped in a towel because his cloths wear still wet from being washed in the spring. Kagome handed him one of her shirts that was big enough to cover him up. Inuyasha got in bed and was happy to fall asleep with out a visit from the voice in his head. Koga was the last one up and was trying to think of a way to get Inuyasha back for what he did in the spring. When he noticed there was still some warm water left in a pot.
Inuyasha woke up and he realized that something was wrong. He looked down at himself and saw that he had wet the bed. (I guess he couldn't wet the bed because he was lying on the ground but you get the idea) Kagome saw Inuyasha awake and went to see what he was fretting about. Inuyasha saw her coming and tried to stay calm and think what had happened through but the more he did the more he wanted to cry. Kagome got over to Inuyasha and saw what had happened. The wall holding in Inuyasha's tears broke and his eyes flooded with tears. Inuyasha tried to stop crying thinking that he wouldn't want Kagome to see him like this but that just made is worse.
Kagome heard Koga laugh from the other side of the camp site and saw the bowl of water and it didn't take her long to put two and two together, she picked up the crying Inuyasha and tried to calm him down but the more she talked the more he cried. Kagome yelled at Koga who jumped up and said he had to go, as he started running off. This woke up Shippo who tried to see what was going on. Inuyasha was trying to stop crying but couldn't so he wriggled out of Kagome's arms and ran into the woods.
Kagome told Shippo to stay at the camp and ran after Inuyasha. Inuyasha's ankle was still hurt so he tucked into a bush to avoid Kagome who was looking for him. He was trying to stop crying when Kagome found him. "Inuyasha its ok it was just Koga playing a prank on you" Inuyasha was trying to avoid looking at Kagome and said "it doesn't matter I still cried" Kagome gave him a hug and said "I wont tell if you don't" they walked back to there camp and Inuyasha put his fire rat robes on and they all left.
The next few days went by fast. Inuyasha's foot was feeling better so he could walk again which made him fell better. They met back up with Sango and Miroku who said that they had helped out the village. Kagome noticed they seamed a lot closer after there trip. They made there camp and started to make diner. Inuyasha was especially happy at the fact that they would reach Kaede's village in the morning.
Inuyasha had just finished his food when he saw a soul collector fly over head. He was about to get up when he started thinking "should I go see her, I mean Kagome has really been there for me lately but I guess she was always there for me. I mean she freed me from the tree and has always been a friend. Tomorrow when I get back to normal I'm to do it. I'm going tell her my true feelings. I guess I should go tell Kikyo that I choose Kagome. He got up and snuck away.
Inuyasha had been walking for a while when he found Kikyo in a clearing. She saw him and asked what had happened Inuyasha ran up to her and said "that's not important; I have to tell you something I'm in love with Kagome not you". Kikyo walked towards him and said "Inuyasha I love you and I know you love me" she than grabbed him and pulled him to her. Inuyasha tried to get away but Kikyo shocked him and he passed out.
Kagome noticed that Inuyasha was missing and asked if anybody knew where he went. Sango said that he probably went to clear his head and if he wasn't back in the morning they would go look for him. Kagome said "ok and that she was probably rite".
Kagome woke up and saw that he was still not back. She saw a soul collector fly over head she got up and followed it hoping it would lead her to Inuyasha. After twenty minuets she was lead to a cabin by a river. She saw Inuyasha filling a bucket in the river and called out to him. "Inuyasha why did you leave like that" Inuyasha dropped his bucket and ran inside calling out "mommy". Kagome just stood there in shock as Kikyo came out with Inuyasha in her arms.
