Hi readers here another chapter enjoy!

Hidden Emotion

The next morning Inuyasha woke up from a sharp gasp from Kagome. His eyes shot open and scanned the room. He then saw Kagome leaning against the door frame of the hut in pain.

"Kagome what in the world are up walking around for." Inuyasha yelled out waking everyone in the hut.

Kagome blushed a light pink at all the attention she was getting. "I…um sensed a lot of shards and I wanted to see where they were coming from." Now the whole room was not as quite anymore.

"Kagome your still recovering!" Shippo yelled as he leaped onto Kagome shoulder.

"Shippo right Kagome. Your still in no shape to be moving around" Miroku said as he stood up.

"Kagome just tell me and Miroku where the shards direction are and we will go check it ok" Sango said completely dressed.

"Well there are three different direction so I have to go. There isn't any other way" Kagome shouted but not to loud. The room became quite again as the gang was thinking of what to do.

"Fine but I'll carry you. Sango and Miroku will go one way and we'll go to the other two" Inuyasha said annoyed knowing there was no other way to keep Kagome from going anywhere.

"Thank you Inuyasha" Kagome said sweetly causing Inuyasha to blush .

"Before ye leave I must change Kagome bandages first." Kieade said walking into the hut.

"where were you old hag." Inuyasha said quite upset she wasn't here to treat Kagome wounds earlier.

"I had other things to do Inuyasha. I too have a life Inuyasha." Kieade said only to get a mumbling answer from him.

"I'm okay Kieade. My bandages can wait till we get the shard" Kagome said picking up her arrows . When she did however she released a short scream as her bandages turned red.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha, Sango, and Shippo all yelled at once.

"Kagome, ye has reopened ye wounds" Kieade said rushing to Kagome to try and fix her wounds.

"I'm fine Kieade. It isn't that serious-" Kagome began to say when Inuyasha shoot up from his sitting spot and started to talk.

"Don't be stupid Kagome. Your life is more important than anything. The shards can wait till you are doing better!" Inuyasha as he picked up Shippo and pushed Miroku out the hut. "Get your bandages fixed Kagome, then well talk about what to do next." Inuyasha said before exiting with Shippo in his hands.

"Inuyasha ?" Kagome whispered 'did he really just say that to me'

"It seems as if Inuyasha has had time to grow up while ye been recovering. Now let me tend to thee wounds. Sango will ye help me?" Kieade said help Kagome to the mat.

"Of course Kieade" Sango said rushing over. "Kirara go stand guard of the door. Make sure that peeping tom of a monk doesn't come in."

Outside the hut

"Inuyasha did you mean what you said to Kagome?" Miroku asked seriously.

"Of course! Kagome means a lot to me. And I won't let her go through what she went through with Naraku. It was my fault that Naraku was able to taint her heart with evil. Because I couldn't let my past love go, Naraku was able to control Kagome. I should have been there to protect her but I wasn't." Inuyasha said as the image of evil Kagome standing by Naraku came back into his mind.

"Don't rest yet Inuyasha. Naraku isn't someone to give up. So easily. Inuyasha I know you love Kagome" Miroku said changing the topic.

"w-what are you talking about !" Inuyasha shouted loudly as he blushed a bright red.

"It's noticeable that even a blind man can tell. The main point is though is when are you going to tell her. Inuyasha with Naraku after Kagome now you should tell her soon or you may lose her forever." Miroku looking into the sky.

"What do you mean Naraku is after Kagome?" Inuyasha asked upset .

"I mean Naraku has grown fond of Kagome than simply an allie but as crush,

love, mate, couple," Miroku said when he was cut off.

"I get the point! Whatever Naraku Is feeling towards Kagome he can forget it cause I won't let him have her!" Inuyasha growled out. 'I won't let Naraku have Kagome as long as I live. She belongs with me and me alone!'
