R&Rs: Ok, xangelqueenx is my first and only reviewer so far! Yaay! At least it's better than nothing right? I'm glad I have at least one supporter, but if you're reading my story, please review so I know that somebody other than xangelqueenx is reading it. I would appreciate that alot! thank you!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. That's final. No more questions asked.

The words "We're friends right?" echoed through Kagomes head. It saddened her to think that Inuyasha only thought of them as friends.

"Yeah, we're friends..." And Kagome left the tent and ran into the woods. She needed some time to think things over.

He only thinks of us as friends! How could I have been so stupid to think that we were more than friends! Ugh I hate myself! Why did I have to fall for Inuyasha! Besides,the one he loves is Kikyo, not me!Tears spilled from her eyes. But a voice spoke out to her.

"Stop crying." The words were cold, and filled with hatred. They could only belong to one person. Kikyo...

Kagome looked up. "Kikyo..."

"Don't even try Kagome. You know Inuyasha is too good for you. He will never belong to you so why don't you give up already? He's mine. I practically own him! So give up before it's too late", said Kikyo. "It's for your own good", mocked Kikyo, followed by laughter from her.

Kagome could only look at her with tearful eyes that looked bigger as if magnified by the tears. She didn't know what to say, so, Kikyo went on.

"If I were still alive, he wouldn't give a damn about you. He still doesn't care about you as much as he cares about me! You think you can take him when I'm not there! Well for your information, you can't! And, the only reason he puts up with you, is because he needs to gather the shards again. You can't really think he likes you!And as for your puny little friends, they're weaklings tha--"

"Don't get my friends involved in this", growled Kagome. Kikyo could mess with her, but when it comes to her friends, nobody could mess with them unless they want to see Kagome's bad side.

Kikyo seemed shocked at the sudden outburst from Kagome. "...Haha! And as if a simpleton like yourself can do anything about it! I'll talk about them as I wish!" Kikyo trailed on with more laughter.

That was the last straw. Kagome couldn't take it anymore. "I said, DON'T GET MY FRIENDS INVOLVED IN THIS!"

"Oh ho...Getting feisty now are we?"

Kagome was getting madder by the second. I don't like Kikyo's attitude. What was her problem anyways? Sheesh...

They continued their argument with Kagome now yelling back...

Meanwhile back at camp...

"I have to find Kagome! Lemme go", exclaimed Inuyasha as he tried to get up. But Miroku wouldn't let him.

"Inuyasha listen to me! You're hurt and you shouldn't move! Kagome will be back later, she's a smart girl and she wont do anything bad! Right now, you have to rest or else you wont heal!"

"My wounds are completely healed. They're only scratches now! Look!" He ripped off the bandages and showed them. Sure enough since he was part demon, he was healed. "So lemme go find Kagome! If anything happens to her...and I still haven't been able to tell her the truth!"

"Ok, Inuyasha, listen to me. First of all you need to calm down, and think things over. What did you say to her earlier?"

Inuyasha thought back. "We're friends right?" Those words echoed in his head...Then he thought of what Kagome said. "Yeah, we're friends..." "Aarrgghh! I said something wrong!"

Sigh. "I knew it Inuyasha, what did you say this time?"

"I-I said...'We're friends right?' and she replied 'Yeah, we're friends...' "

Miroku hit Inuyasha with his staff. "I-idiot...How can you say that to Kagome! You really are an idiot."

"Baka indeed." Shippo said out of nowhere. BAM! Inuyasha pounded Shippo. "Waaahh! What was that for! Waahh!"

"Oh be quiet. This is the main thing now. Are you going to let me find her, or not?"

Miroku was silent.

"Oh Miroku, let him go. He is almost healed after all", cooed Sango.

"...You're right. And it is starting to get dark after all...Alright, go Inuyasha."

And Inuyasha sped off like lightning to find his beloved. But who does he find instead? Find out in Chapter Six!

Oh My God! This chapter took me forever to write! Ugh! My eyes hurt from staring at the computer monitor nonstop! Ok, well, hope you enjoyed it, and plz remember to review! PLZ plz PLZ! x...o...x...o...
