(InuYasha POV)

I can't love her, I can't love her, I can't love her, but I do love her. No you can't! She started looking at my funny as I hit my head to clear it. "Anyway before we go back do you want me to fix you some Raman?" She asked taking the cup from me. I nodded still trying to figure myself out. I loved Kikyo. And I love Kagome. I gasped loudly at this. She turned and looked at me. "What's wrong?" She asked. I just shook my head and smiled at her. She gave me another funny look than went back to cooking. She placed my noodles in front of me and I dug into them.

(Kagome's POV)

He is acting weird. He keeps looking at me with these soft amber eyes. I love it but I'm not used to it. He loves Kikyo, I thought. I shook my head and looked around. We were in the in front of the well. "Are you ready or not?" He asked sounding like himself. I nodded and jumped in. The blue light didn't bother me anymore as they used to. When I crawled out of the well Shippo ran up to me. "Kagome!" He yelled jumping into my arms and hugging me. "Hey Shippo!" I yelled hugging him close. "Please don't be mad at InuYasha he's just stupid!" He yelled as InuYasha crawled out of the well and bopped him in the head. "Sit boy!" I yelled. He smacked into the ground and I stomped to the village with Shippo in my arms.

(InuYasha POV)

Why does she do that to me? I thought as I painfully got off the ground. I just groaned. All because of that little fox! I shook my head and walk to the village after the woman I loved and the kitsune that hated me. I just chuckled she would never know that I love her. I walked into the hut to see her whispering rapidly to Sango. "Are you sure?" She was asking. "Sure of what?" I asked. She jumped and looked nervous. "A um soul collector." She muttered. I jumped up. Kikyo was calling to me! "Where, when, and what direction did it go in?" I asked. She visibly flinched and stood up. "I'm coming." She replied. "No your not." I argued. "You won't know the way unless I come." She reasoned. I just shrugged and gave in. "Fine. But you had better stay back and be quiet."

(Kagome POV)

He was back to being a jerk. At least I was going to be able to keep an eye on Kikyo and him. He bounded through the woods following my directions. We finally were about to enter a clearing and he let me off. "Stay here and stay hidden." He said pointing to a tree. I nodded and got behind it. He walked out into the field and Kikyo suddenly appeared with a band of soul collectors. He just stared at her. "InuYasha I was starting to think you wouldn't come." She said. I shivered, she scared me. She took a step closer to him and I got up. He took a step closer as well and I leaned forward. He than hugged her close and my breath caught in my throat. She leaned up and kissed him and my heart dropped. I turned and ran like my feet were on fire.

(InuYasha's POV)

My ears twitched. I heard Kagome's foot steps and smelled her scent fading. I pushed Kikyo back. "Kikyo I can't do this to Kagome." And with that I bounded off after her only to be caught by a soul collector. "Does that girl mean more you then me?" She asked with sadness in her eyes. I stopped and thought about it. "I don't know." I replied and left quickly.

(Kagome's POV)

My legs and chest were aching when I finally stopped running. I heard a rusting behind me and looked around. A huge demon burst from the trees. "Give me that shard of the Shikon Jewel!" It yelled. I took a step back and yelped. I didn't have my bow or arrows. I had nothing and InuYasha was with Kikyo. I was a goner. I looked at the demon. He was red and had claws sharper than InuYashas. "No!" I said squeaking a little. "Fine than I will kill you and take them!" It yelled as it's claws flashed in the sun light.

(InuYasha's POV)

That was Kagome's scream! I sniffed the air and felt my blood run cold. The heavy scent of blood was pouring into the air, Kagome's blood. I picked up my pace and found a huge red demon standing over something. The scent of Kagome's blood was so strong I could hardly stand to be in the area. I made quick work of the demon with my claws and saw what he was standing over. I fell to my knees. Kagome was laying in the grass surrounded by her blood. It was oozing out of four long, deep, scratches on her side. They ran from her arm to her hip. She was not moving. "Kagome?" I started whimpering. "Kagome?" She groaned softly and my heart jumped. She's still alive! "Kagome can you hear me?" I started purring. "Inu..Yasha?" It was barely a whisper. I let out a breath and picked her gently up. "I'm taking you back to the village ok?" She didn't respond but I could see her chest moving. I ran quickly and gently as I could. By the time I reached the village I was covered in her blood. Kaeda ran out and gasped. "InuYasha what happened to young Kagome?" She yelled running up. I looked up and growled. "A demon. Can you help her or not!" Kaeda nodded and ushered me into the hut. I carried her in and laid her down gently. She groaned lightly. "Kagome I'm sorry." I whispered. Kaeda pushed me out, against my will, and warned me not to come in. I was pacing outside when Sango and Miroku walked up. "Where is Kagome?" Sango asked. I looked down and wouldn't meet her eyes. "We went to see Kikyo." I said simply. Sango nodded, "We know that much. Where is she InuYasha?" Her tone was a little more assertive. "Kikyo kissed me and Kagome took off without any weapons." I said. I didn't want to finish, I couldn't. "Oh my gosh is she ok?" Sango yelled running into Kaeda's hut. I just kept my head down. Miroku instantly knew what was wrong. "She was almost killed huh?" He asked. I nodded and felt my heart twinge. He nodded and started praying.

(Kagome POV)

I woke up and noticed my side was hurting. When I tried to sit up I found I couldn't. "What the?" I muttered. Kaeda had a hand on my chest keeping me down. "Ye need to rest child. Ye injury is bad." She said. I nodded and sighed. "Ye need to go to ye own time to get some of those medicines." She said. InuYasha ran in at this. "I'll take her. This is my fault." He said. "Ye are to be careful with her InuYasha." Kaeda said. He nodded and picked me up. I flinched slightly as his hands lightly brushed my wound. "I'm so sorry Kagome." I blinked and looked up at him. He apologized! That was new. "It's ok InuYasha." I muttered as He jumped into the well.
