It's not so much an obsession- it's more that it's taken over my life.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, there are wonky pairings, prob some profanity, and... Yeah. I think that's it.
Oh, yeah. There might end up being some innuendo. There sorta was in the last chapter.
Another short one. Deal with it.

"If you're lost, then you look, and you will find me/ Time after time/ If you fall I will catch you; I'll be waiting/ Time after time..."
Kagome hummed happily, cuddling Kirara. This was the agreed meeting place- a small, rocky cave in the mountains. Sesshomaru would meet her here, and she could bargain for the love of InuYasha.
A silhouette darkened the entrance to the cave, and Kagome looked up, letting Kirara go for an instant to smooth down her skirt. That would be Sesshomaru, come to tell her that Kikyo was dead. Such a relief that would be. And Kaede would probably be rather proud of her, too- she didn't approve of her older sister's unnatural life.
But no- it wasn't the one-armed demon, after all. It was Koga.
"What are you doing here?" she gasped. She hadn't expected this.
"I was told you'd be here."
"By whom?"
"Kagura."

InuYasha sat down beside the tainted soil. "I actually have a question for you."
Miroku looked up from prodding the dirt. "What is it?"
"I-I did something... which upset Kagome. She ran off... crying."
"And this is my problem why?"
"Well, I was wondering if you knew how I could win her trust back."
Miroku pointedly looked at the soil. "Women's hearts are not easily mended, InuYasha. They bear scars for a long time. It would be best if you let her be for a while. She will come back to you in due time, I am sure."
InuYasha nodded. "She always has."
"See?" The monk smiled. "Nothing to worry about. Now help me out with this."
"What is it that you're doing?"
"I'm trying to find out the secrets of the bandit's transformation into Naraku. Unfortunately, the soil seems to be somewhat unresponsive at this point. I need something to help it be more co-operative."
"What do you need?"
"The tears of a virgin."
InuYasha blushed. "Um... can't help you there. Sorry."
"Yes, but you could get Kagome to cry for you."
"How do you know she's...?"
Miroku looked at him. "You think, after all my experience, I wouldn't be able to tell?"
"Right."

Koga ran along, carrying Kagome.
"Put me down, you brute!"
"If you're to be my mate, you should at least be considerate."
Kagome made a rude gesture at him. "F consideracy! Just put me down!"
"Tough."

Naraku rubbed his hands together. "All is falling into place."
falling into place, falling into place. Lalalala...
