I'm back! Thanks for the wonderful reviews! I didn't get this many for the first chapter last time! That's probably because I didn't post it on a Friday and left it for the weekend… -.-; See first chapter for disclaimer and warning.

Ice Demon Allysandra- Thanks. I've seen that around for awhile. I was trying to look up one of the stories I'm reading and yours popped up. Oh, before I forget. You would you mind helping me on a story I'm writing? I'm a little stuck and I'm a little pressed for time. A few reviewers want a sequel to 'Love Or Lust?'. It's a NarakuSesshomaru story. If you want to read it, go ahead. Please help me. I really need help! Thanks for the review!

RocketsAreGood- Thanks… I think. I hope I have better luck this time, too.

sesshiefanatic101- Okay… Scary. Glad you think it's interesting… Thanks for the review.

Vieh and Tony- Two sides… Nice. I'm glad you approve because of the couple. They're just really awesome together. You are scaring me… I don't like it when you say that last sentence… Scares the crap out of me! Thanks for the review!

Kathy Coleman- Thanks. I'm glad you like my stories. It's just something I do in my spare time… It doesn't matter if I receive, or don't receive, the reviews I once got. Thanks for the review.

Chapter 2: Morning Sickness

"Naraku left it… and it doesn't say anything important like… where he might be hiding or… a clue as to where he's hiding?"

"Nope. A note just saying that he'll get me later and that I should die by his hand. Nothing really new."

"Are you sure? Let me take a look at it." Kagome reached for the note, but Inuyasha crumpled it up and stuck it in his kimono.

"You don't have to read it. It's just a threatening note… Where are the others?" he asked. He didn't want Kagome reading the 'threatening' note. The note wasn't all that threatening.

"They're back at the clearing. What happened after you followed Naraku?" Memories of the past with Naraku came back to him. He didn't want to tell Kagome the whole truth. How would she take the truth if she knew that the kumo had screwed him?

"He… threw me into this room and I was… knocked unconscious. We better get back to the others."

"Yeah. Okay."

"Inuyasha… You smell different," Shippo said when Kagome and Inuyasha were reunited with their friends. "Did-"

"Shut up, twerp." Inuyasha hit Shippo in the back of the head. "Nothing happened."

"Are you sure, Inuyasha? Kirara is restless," Sango said as she held Kirara in her arms.

"I'm telling you that nothing happened! Naraku threw me into a room and I was knocked unconscious!"

Everyone was in Kaede's hut… Everyone, but Inuyasha. He was sitting in a tree and sulking over what happened in that room with Naraku. Inuyasha was thinking too much because he didn't notice Kagome. "Inuyasha?" He was startled and nearly fell out of the tree.

"What do you want, Kagome?"

"Are you feeling alright? You've been sulking in that same tree ever since we came back here. Is something wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong! Stop asking me that!"

"Come down here. You need to be checked out. You've been acting strange ever since Naraku escaped." Inuyasha turned his back to her. "You get your butt down here by the count of three, or I'll say your command!"

"I'm coming," Inuyasha grumbled and jumped down from the tree.

"Kagome, why is Kaede checking him?" Shippo asked.

"She's seeing if something's wrong with Inuyasha." 'What is wrong with you, Inuyasha? Did something happen to you?' Kagome thought as she waited outside. She watched as Sango held Kirara away from the hut.

"What's wrong with you, Kirara?"

Inuyasha groaned as he sat up again. He was getting tired of sitting up and laying back down so Kaede could check him out. Absolutely nothing was wrong with him! "Nothing is wrong with ye, Inuyasha. Ye may leave."

"Finally!" Inuyasha stood up and walked out of the hut. "I told you nothing's wrong with me, Kagome. Kaede just proved it." Inuyasha jumped into the tree and stared off into the distance. He touched the mark on his collarbone absently. 'Why did Naraku mark me as his mate?' he wondered as the sun went down.

Naraku groaned and turned over. He couldn't stop thinking of Inuyasha. Something about the way Inuyasha surrendered had him yearning for the inu. Naraku had to find a way to get Inuyasha alone with him again. "Kanna!" Naraku called as he sat up. Se came to him from the shadows. "Show me Inuyasha and only Inuyasha." Kanna's mirror glowed and swirled as it settled on the sleeping inu's face. Naraku laid back. He watched as the inu slept.

Inuyasha stirred as the morning light hit him. He stretched and walked off to a hot spring nearby. He eased down into the warm water when a voice came to his ears. "Hello, Inuyasha." He turned around and saw Naraku in his baboon pelt. He had one whiff of Naraku and instantly knew it was a puppet.

"A puppet. Why don't you go and leave me alone?" Inuyasha lowered down into the water up to his neck. "I'm not in the mood for a fight."

"I'm-" Naraku was cut off as he was kicked forward. Koga stood there.

"Hey, mutt. Why are you in the water and not trying to kill Naraku?"

"One. I'm washing. Two. That's a puppet. Why bother?"

"It's a puppet? Oh well." Koga grabbed Naraku by his arm and ripped Naraku's head off. The head and body disappeared. "You smell different, mutt. You aren't losing your powers tonight because it's not a moonless night."

"Would you leave?" Inuyasha was starting to get ticked off.

"If you're here, Kagome's nearby! See you later, dog breath!" Koga sped off in the direction of Kagome's scent.

"Damn that ookami!" Naraku growled. He had to find a way to get rid of Koga. The ookami was starting to get on his nerves… and getting in the way of everything!

The nights were long and the days were even longer. He couldn't go an hour without thinking of Naraku. During the night, he would dream of him. During the day, he would think and daydream of him. It was embarrassing when someone caught him daydreaming or thinking of Naraku.

Inuyasha hurled into the bushes as the sun rose.

"Inu… yasha? Are… you feeling okay?" Kagome asked and yawned.

"Yeah. Just… throwing up."

"Throwing up?"

"Just go back to sleep. I'll be okay." Kagome trudged back into the hut as Inuyasha hurled again. 'What is wrong with me?' he wondered as he wiped his mouth. It was like he was having morning sickness… and only in the morning. Never during the day.

Well, there's the second chapter! Sorry for the long wait! You had to wait five whole days for this update… Well, I'm trying to post it up as fast as I can, but with homework, friends, and family… I have so much to do! The teachers are starting to push the information onto us like we should already know all of this. We don't! That's kind of why we're there to learn! Well, that's all. Ice Demon Allysandra, will you help me on the sequel? I really need the help. You told me to ask you if I ever needed help with anything, and here I am… asking for the help. To everyone else… See you people later! I'll have the third chapter up as fast as I can!
