Well, more chapters up again. Have fun people. Please Review!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, but I DO own a poster! Does that count?

"And what happened after that?" Shippo asked, staring wide eyed at Kagome, along with Miroku, and Sango.

"Well, there isn't much after that. Me and Inuyasha just came back here." Kagome said, half truth.

I'm not about to tell them the part about me and Inuyasha hugging.

"Hmm. Very interesting." Miroku was stroking his chin, concentrating hard.

"I wonder what Kikyo did to make him so angry." Sango was also concentrating. They didn't want Kagome to get hurt for someone elses actions.

"Well, whoever it is, we're going to find him, then we're going to kill him." All eyes turned on a hanyou perched in a tree. Kagome's eyes softened.

He's so protective of her. Why can't SHE see how much he loves her, instead of dawning on the past and trying to take him to hell?

That was one of the parts that really made Kagome upset. Inuyasha loved Kikyo, but she just wanted to kill him. If she truely loved him too, she would want him to live a long life, not drag him into the same fate she was bestowed.

"Maybe we should head to Kaede's and plan our attacks there?"

"Good idea, Shippo. Come on. Let's get moving." Sango stood up, holding Kirara gently with her Hirakotsu already strapped to her back.

"Alright." Kagome stood up as well, and began to follow Sango. Miroku and Shippo followed suit, and eventually, Inuyasha leapt out of the tree and followed.

"Hey, Miroku?" Kagome asked.

"Yes, Lady Kagome?"

"How long do you think it will take us to get there?"

Miroku looked towards the sun, then back forward. He was quiet for a few minutes.

"I'd say around two days. We're not exactly close by."

"Alright. Let's try to find camp in about two or three hours. It's going to get dark soon."

"Keh."

"Inuyasha, do you have something to say?" Kagome was getting frustrated. He'd been 'Keh'ing all day, and wouldn't say anything else.

Inuyasha muttered something inaudible.

"What was that?" Kagome turned to face him, stopping him and her in their tracks.

" I said, WEAK HUMANS!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome gasped. Why was he so mad at her? It couldn't still be about the night before, could it? She started to keep walking.

"Oh. Well, I'm sorry I'm not..." She stopped. She didn't dare take it further.

"You're not what?" Inuyasha this time jumped in front of her. Kagome lowered her eyes.

"Well?" Inuyasha pestered on. Miroku and Sango looked at eachother, worry covering their faces. Something bad was going to happen, and it wasn't going to end well.

"Nothing." Kagome whispered, and scooted around Inuyasha, only to have him walk in front of her path again.

"Inuyasha, move." Kagome said coldly. Inuyasha didn't budge. Kagome sighed.

"Sango, Miroku, Shippo, go on ahead. I have to talk to Inuyasha." Kagome hadn't even lifted her head yet, giving a sign that she was pissed. They did as they were told and continued walking.

"Inuyasha, what is it that you exactly want?" Kagome lifted her head to show a blank face. Inuyasha just stared down at her.

"Well? What do you want?" Kagome began to raise her voice.

"What's wrong?" Inuyasha said. Kagome almost laughed. What's wrong? What ISN'T wrong?

"Inuyasha, if that's all you've been bugging me for, then please, just move so we can keep going." Kagome once again tried to walk away, but this time Inuyasha grabbed her shoulders gently. Kagome looked into his eyes. It held confusion, sadness, anger, frustration, and other emotions she couldn't even begin to tell.

"Inuyasha..." Kagome was stunned. Her legs wouldn't move. Her arms were stuck. Her eyes were in a trance with his.

"Kagome." Inuyasha whispered.

What's going on? What's wrong with me! It's like...I'm stuck...I can't look away...and why are we...?

Neither had noticed, but they had been getting closer. Their eyes were locked, Inuyasha's hands still plastered to her shoulders, and their faces growing closer and closer each second.

"Inu-"

"Kago-"

They were so close. The slightest move and they would be-

"KAGOME! INUYASHA! WHERE ARE YOU!" Shippo came bounding back from the pathway. The two instantly tore apart, blushing like crazy.

"WHAT?" They both screamed. Shippo stopped.

"What were you doing?" Shippo asked, confused.

"What do you want, runt?" Inuyasha was very frustrated.

"Uh, Sango and Miroku sent me to come back and look for you guys, just to make sure Kagome wasn't hurt, and Inuyasha wasn't dead from all the sits he would get. By the way, why aren't you covered in dirt right now. Didn't you sit him, Kagome?"

Kagome looked at Shippo. She didn't dare look at Inuyasha, but she could feel his gaze on her.

"Uh...yeah...sure...let's go" Kagome started walking down the path, looking like a zombie.

I can't...I can't believe we...almost...kissed

A shiver ran down her spine.

"Psst. Kagome. Are you okay?" Shippo had perched himself on her shoulder.

"Yeah, Shippo. I'm fine. Just a little tired. How far up are Sango and Miroku?"

"Oh, not too far." Shippo smiled.

"Good. Let's set up camp for the night. It's getting late."

Meanwhile, Inuyasha had fallen behind, once again.

It's like I couldn't move. We were getting so close. Until that runt came and ruined it...wait, ruined it? Did I really want to...kiss...Kagome? Doesn't that mean that I've chosen her?

Inuyasha's eyes grew wide.

I think so. I've chosen Kagome.

Inuyasha quickened his pace, eager to go get closer to Kagome. His pace quickly returned to a slow one.

Just because I almost kissed Kagome, doesn't mean that I've chosen her. Dammit. I thought this would be simple. Kikyo. I've kissed Kikyo, but that doesn't mean I'm choosing her. So the question is still out there: who do I choose?

Inuyasha continued to walk. What neither the human, demon, or half demon noticed was that not too far away, someone was watching them, or more, the human.

"Don't worry, Kikyo. Your death will come very soon, and you won't have to suffer anymore from that half-breed bastard." He cackled an evil laughter before jumping off again, plotting his revenge deeper.

The gang was sitting around a fire discussing their plan later that night.

"So, how do we find him?"

"We first need to find out who 'he' is."

"And his weakness, so he can be killed."

"And any information about him."

"I'm hungry!"

Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo tried to discuss the issue at hand. Someone was after Kagome, and wasn't going to stop until she was dead.

"Okay, Shippo, I'll start dinner." Kagome rose up and walked to her enormous backpack.

"Uh-oh."

All eyes turned to Kagome's kneeling form.

"What's wrong, Kagome?" Sango asked, walking up and kneeling with her.

"Well, it seems tha-"

BAM!

"PERVERT! I'm sorry, say that again?" Sango returned her fist, turning towards Kagome once more. Kagome looked at Miroku and noticed a large bump on his head. Miroku's 'wandering hand' had got the better of him again.

"Well, it's just that-" Kagome took a glance at Inuyasha. He was staring at her, and she quickly looked away blushing.

"Well...there's no more ramen." Kagome said shyly.

"WHAT?" Inuyasha bolted out of his seat and stormed over to Kagome.

"HOW COULD YOU FORGET THE RAMEN!"

"WELL, I'M SORRY THAT I'M NOT A PIG LIKE YOU AND NEEDS TO EAT SEVEN BOWLS IN TEN MINUTES!" Kagome was angry. It wasn't her fault!

"WELL PACK MORE NEXT TIME!"

"WELL-"

"Kagome! Inuyasha! Calm down. Miroku and I will go look for food. Just stay here. Shippo, please go fill up those water containers Kagome calls 'cantins'.

"That's 'canteen' Sango." Kagome corrected.

"Oh, can-teens." Sango pronounced. Miroku's eyes lit up. Sango? And him? Alone? In the forest? Alone? Yeah, well, you get the point. He was happy.

"Come now Sango. We must go fetch the food." Miroku quickly grabbed Sango's hand and led her into the forest. Sango gulped and blushed.

What did I drag myself into?

A little humor, a little fluff, what more could you want? I know! How about a review for it all? Thanks!
