Last time...

Back in the trees, Kikyo watched and frowned. Inuyasha was happy, possibly in love with that girl. "It seems he has forgotten that his life belongs to me. I think I shall remind him and teach that girl a lesson at the same time." Followed by her soul collectors, Kikyo set off to wait for the right moment to act.

Hello everyone,this is my next installment for Inuyasha. I have always wanted to see Inuyasha declare his love for Kagome and to tell Kikyo off and this is that story. I don't recommend this to anyone who is a Kikyo fan because she's not protrayed in a good light. But if you like Inuyasha and Kagome together then this fic is definitely for you.

I do not own Inuyasha or it's characters. Rumiko Takahashi is the mangaka. And so on with the story. Please enjoy and review.

Myoga's Arrival

A black crow glided through the air, searching the ground. Spotting a worm it dived to snatch it out of the ground. While the crow ate, the flea on it's back decided it was a good time for some tea.

"Hmm, it's been awhile since I've seen Lord Inuyasha. He's always involved in something dangerous so short visits are a necessity. Of course, I do get some pleasure from my visits, his blood. Mmm, can't wait to taste him and Kagome too!" The crow done with its meal looked over at Myoga. "All done? Well let's be off!"

Myoga put his things away and got back on the crow's back. Together they soared through the sky searching for the gang. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of red and white and had the crow fly lower. Not Inuyasha but Kikyo. Myoga found it curious that she was in the same area as the others but shrugged and continued on his search for his master.

"We're some lucky guys Inuyasha. We travel with two very lovely ladies." The guys were behind the women and Miroku was enjoying the view.

Arms crossed Inuyasha cut his eyes to Miroku and couldn't hold back a laugh. "You just don't ever quit, do you?"

"Oh come on, you can't deny you enjoy watching them, especially Kagome. Don't forget you're the ones always sneaking off and doing who knows what up there in the trees." Miroku threw an arm around Inuyasha and shook his finger at him.

Inuyasha smirked, "Jealous Miroku?"

"What?" He checked to be sure the girls weren't listening. "Well, yeah. The most Sango will do is let me hold her hand." He sighed heavily.

"That's probably to keep your hands away from her butt!" Inuyasha laughed.

"I'm beginning to get tired of being laughed at. There's nothing wrong with wanting to touch the woman I love."

"Yeah, well, I guess you'll just have to wait until she's ready."

"I could turn into an old man waiting, get arthritis and not be able to touch anything." Miroku grumbled making Inuyasha laugh again.

Up in the sky, Myoga finally saw a red kimono and silver white hair. "Thanks for the ride." He jumped off the crow and landed unnoticed on Inuyasha. Anticipating the taste of his Lord's blood, Myoga moved quickly to his neck. "Ah!"

"What the - ?" Inuyasha slapped at his neck and came away with Myoga. "Oh it's you Myoga. Came out of hiding, did you?" Everybody gathered around to see the flea. "Did you come with some information we can use to find Naraku?"

"Why no Lord Inuyasha. It's just been a while since I've seen you and I wanted to check on you."

They all stared at him until unbelieving when Shippo spoke. "He's probably running from Old Lady Shoga."

"Ah."

"Yep."

"That's it." Eyes closed, arms crossed they all nodded.

"Can't a flea catch a break? I was worried about you." Myoga sits and mutters under his breath, "She came close to catching me this time."

Miroku huffed, "So did you notice anything useful on your way here? Is there anything you can tell us?"

Arms crossed the old flea shook his head, "Nope. The only thing I saw was Lady Kikyo, a while back."

Sango glanced at Kagome. Kikyo hadn't been around since she and Inuyasha had made a commitment to each other. Sango wondered how Kagome will handle seeing Kikyo if they met up with her.

Kagome saw Sango's look. "It's okay. After all she's searching for Naraku too. We were bound to run into her at some point."

Tossing Myoga to Shippo, Inuyasha went to her and took her hand. "She's my past and I don't love her but I don't want to see her hurt anymore."

Kagome hugged him smiling. "I know, don't worry about me. Once we destroy Naraku maybe she'll finally feel at peace."

Inuyasha held her tight. "Thanks Kagome, for understanding."

"Umm, Shippo? What's this? I've never seen Lord Inuyasha and Kagome act like this."

"Oh that's right, you haven't been around so you don't know. Kagome and Inuyasha are a couple. They hug and kiss all the time now." Shippo sounded bored but he was really happy for his friends.

"Really? How interesting." Myoga thought how much Inuyasha now resembled his father, showing such feelings for Kagome. Maybe these two had a chance for happiness.

"So Myoga, have you been with Totosai?" Miroku asked.

"Some. So what's happening with Naraku? Have you found any more leads?"

"Well he's regaining his power. He sent two incarnations after us as well as sending someone to intercept Sesshomaru. It shouldn't be long now before we come across him."

"Hmm, I'll be sure to leave before that happens." Myoga spoke to himself but the others heard and with weary expressions nodded.

Kagome suddenly turned around. "I sense a jewel shard. Look!" She pointed and there riding on the back of a demon was Kohaku.

Kirara transformed, anticipating Sango wanting to follow him but Sango looked unsure.

"Go Sango. We know he isn't fully under Naraku's control. Maybe this time he'll come back to you." Kagome urged.

Miroku nodded, "Give it a try." His heart felt for her.

"Miroku? Will you come with me?" Sango held out her hand.

"Of course." Miroku was pleased that Sango asked for his help, that he could be there to help her through this. The two got on Kirara. "We'll be back as soon as we can."

"Kagome waved them off. "Good luck Sango!"

"It's unlikely he'll come back with her if Naraku's getting stronger." Inuyasha said as he watched them pass out of sight.

"I know but she has to try." She sighed. "Should we wait or keep moving?"

"Let's keep moving. They'll catch up." Still holding hands they walked on.

"They've separated. Now is the time." Kikyo had watched the scene and was thinking about her plans. She had wanted to get Inuyasha alone and now might be her chance.
