R&Rs

I wanted to mention xangelqueenxas my very first Reviewer for this story. Thanks a lot for reviewing!

Disclaimer: As much as i want to make Inuyasha mine, i will never be able to.

When they inspected Inuyasha's wound, it was deep and the bleeding still hadn't stopped. They wrapped him up and let him rest. Outside, Kagome told them what happened.

"So that's what happened.", said Sango. Everyone was silent for a minute. "Cheer up Kagome, Inuyasha isn't gonna die that easily.", said Shippo. Kirara nodded his/her (a/n: Sorry, I'm not sure if Kirara's a boy or girl) head.

"Can I go see him?", asked Kagome. "Sure. Why not. It'll probably make him heal faster.", Sango replied. Kagome nodded and headed inside the tent.

Chapter Three

Kagome slowly and quietly entered the tent where Inuyasha was sleeping peacefully. She kneeled down next to him and looked at his peaceful face. Inuyasha, why did you have to save me?You got yourself hurt for me. Tears started dripping down her face. Inuyasha could sense Kagome's precence in his sleep so he opened one eye.

"Kagome...don't cry...you look better when you're smiling...", said Inuyasha weakly. Kagome wiped away the tears and forced a smile. "I wasn't crying. I was cutting up an onion earlier." "Hmmm...and where did we get the onion from?" Kagome hit him and laughed.She laughed too.

"Kagome, can you help me up?", asked Inuyasha. "But you're not supposed to move Inuyasha!" "It's ok, i just wanna sit up. My back hurts from this stupid hard dirt floor." "Ok then, but don't move once you're up." "'Kay." Kagome helped him sit up with his back against the wall.

"Kagome, I've been wanting to tell you something for a long time now.", said Inuyasha. He felt certain that this time, nothing would interfere.

"Hmm? What is it?", asked Kagome. She had a hunch she knew what it was. She also has been wanting to hear it for a long time.

"I...Kagome, I-" Just then he saw four pairs of eyes looking through the mesh cloth. Kagome looked too. There was Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara looking at them, waiting for Inuyasha to say it. Too bad they were caught.

"YOU GUYS! STOP FOLLOWING US WHEREVER WE GO!" Inuyasha threw a basket at them and they all started to complain.

"Man Inuyasha! Why didn't you just say it!", whined Shippo while Kirara nodded. "Yeah man, you could've totally said it while youhad the chance!", said Miroku. "Tsk tsk. Men now have no guts.", tsked Sango.

"I would have said it if you guys wouldn't ruin the mood all the time! Arrgghhh!" Inuyasha crossed his arms in anger. "Ok, we'll leave you alone sheesh!" said Shippo. "No it's ok, I have to go bathe before it gets too dark.", said Kagome. "Are you sure you don't want to stay with Inuyasha for a little bit more Kagome?", asked Sango. "I'll be back after I bathe ok Inuyasha?" "Whatever."

Kagome headed for the flap, but before she could go out, Inuyasha said, "Be safe, Kagome." Kagome turned around in a sort of shocked way. "Ok.", she replied cheerfully with a smile. And with that, she left.

Sigh. "Why couldn't I just pretend I didn't see them and just go out and tell her the truth?" Sigh. Inuyasha struggled to lay back down. Then he went back to sleep.

From a distance, there was someone, or something, watching...waiting...

So how was it? Did my writing style change in this chapter? I hope it didn't, I was in a different mood from when I wrote the other chapters so I hope the style didn't change. Sigh. Ok R&R please and thank you. xoxo
