Sorry I would have had this done earlier if so much stuff wasn't going on…uhhh I hate school…and people braking up…especially when the guy is a TWO TIMING CHEATING BUTT HEAD…excuse me…Paige you know who I am talking about…it wasn't me it was another girl…I wouldn't date him cuz he thinks he is like InuYasha…and InuYasha reminds me of him and it is annoying…lol lol.

I KID YOU NOT-use the meat cleaver…lol lol

Ok now that I have rambled on about how HE cough Peter is so mean here is Chapter 8…

YAY!

"I made it?" he questioned himself 'Now to find out what's going on…'

Shippo slowly tried to get up the well, but failed, and again…again….and once again.

"Uh, how do InuYasha and Kagome get up this stupid well!" he yelled

Kagome looked up. ' I could swear I just heard Shippo…' she slowly walked towards the mini shrine and opened the door.

"Kagome, is that you…" Shippo asked unsurely

"Shippo!" Kagome said as she looked down the well to see the little fox demon sitting at the bottom "How did you get here?"

"Do you think I could tell you after you get me out of here?"

"sure" Kagome jumped down the well and put Shippo on her solder and climbed back up the well.

"How do you do that?"

Kagome giggled "It takes practice, so how did you get to my time?"

"I stole the shards from InuYasha, before he could get me I jumped down the well hoping I would get to you." He answered

"So he did steel the shards from me…"

"Yeah, what happened between you two?"

"Oh nothing, InuYasha is just being his big headed self that's all" she said faking a smile, hoping to reassure that everything was fine.

"I know that's not true" he started "If InuYasha was being his 'big headed self' then he wouldn't be crying his eyes out…or…or…"

"He was crying…"

"um…yeah…"

"What else…"

"What?"

"Weren't you going to say something else?"

"Yeah, but its just…" Shippo's eyes started to blur. He knew he might cry. The thought of InuYasha wanting him to kill him just was to much for him. His parents died and if he was to respect him 'foster father's' request he would have to kill him…both his father and him new 'father' would be dead…and if there was no one to protect Kagome…then

"Just what?" Kagome interrupted his thought

"He wanted me to kill him…" Shippo mumbled putting his head down and letting his hair cover his shinning, teary eyes.

"He what!"

"He was saying something about how no one wants him and he is nothing and then turned around and commanded me to kill him!" Shippo shouted through tears. The last thing he wanted to do was to shout at Kagome, she loved him, she was like his mother.

Kagome's eyes filled with fear, and then with tears "Do you know where he is now?" she asked is a frantic voice.

"No, not exactly…I came back to get you, the things he said, I knew they weren't true…I no you wouldn't do anything to hurt him…"

'I guess we are kind of obvious…' Kagome thought "Is it really that obvious that…we…"

"Love each other?" Shippo finished

Kagome nodded.

"Well, yes…He doesn't let anyone near you, and protects you no matter how much it hurts him…and you won't listen to him when he tells you to leave…not unless you know he is alright…"

'I guess we were kind of obvious then…' Kagome thought "We have to go back and get him then"

She started to walk to the mini shire when she heard from behind her "Kagome!"

She spun around to find Hojo running towards her waving.

'Could this guy have worse timing…?' "Shippo, go into the mini shire I can't let him know about how I pass through the well to the feudal era" 'That's how me and InuYasha got into this mess.' She thought

"Ok, for how long?"

"Until I get Hojo to go away…" she groaned

Shippo ran into the mini shine and shut the door except for a crack so he could see when the boy by the name Hojo would leave.

"Hey Kagome, I heard you left school early and came to see you"

"Why would you care…everyone else doesn't"

"Well I thought about the rumors and figured you would never do that" he smiled

'Great…and I thought I had gotten rid of him…and he's the only one I haven't gotten rid of…'

"I was thinking maybe the dance would be a good idea"

"Oh, well umm…it just I got things straightened out in my head and I wanted to talk 2 my boyfriend…" she added more quietly, hoping Hojo wouldn't hear "Ex-boyfriend I suppose…"

"Well if he is your Ex then he wouldn't mind"

"I guess he wouldn't but I wo-" She was cut off but Hojo pulling her towards her and pushing her ageist the tree. "What are you doing!"

"I'm going to make you happier than that stupid boyfriend of yours could"

"What! No let go of me!" She started to kick and scream

Hojo started to open her shirt and kiss her neck. Kagome started to cry 'He's going to rape me and InuYasha isn't here to save me…he wouldn't save me anyway…'

"Oh man, what do I do what do I do" Shippo thought running around in circles "I can't beat that guy he is to big…InuYasha…I could get him...but would he want to help anymore…oh man what do I do!"

"SHIPPO!" came a very angry voice "What the hell do you think you were doing steeling the shards and coming…here?"

"InuYasha!" Shippo squealed "You came to save Kagome!"

"Kagome…" InuYasha repeated "Why would I save her she doesn't love me…"

"You have it wrong, she told me what happened the reason she didn't want them to know about you is because she didn't want you to get hurt when people found out about how she can pass through to the feudal era…You have to save her!"

"She…was trying to protect…me?"

"YES!" Shippo said impatiently "Now go save her!"

"Save her from what!" InuYasha said in his normal proud voice

'At least he is back to normal…' Shippo thought

InuYasha smelt Kagome's tears and opened the mini shine's door to find her up ageist the tree crying as some guy molested her.

'That's that stupid guy that was talking to her at her school…' His eyes flashed red for a second.

'What's with his eyes…?' Shippo thought 'His eyes only go red when he is a full demon, but they were only red for a second…' This puzzled Shippo

"Hey you get away from her!" InuYasha yelled as he ran over and punched Hojo off of her.

Kagome lied there on the ground with her shirt off and most of her chest exposed.

'InuYasha…he's…here….' She thought before closing her eyes. It was hard for her to breathe push up ageist the tree and she was very lightheaded.

"Who are you!" Hojo demanded

"That's what I should be asking you, basted, how dare you do this to Kagome!" InuYasha yelled back at him as he punched him a second time in the jaw

Hojo tried to get back up to defend himself, but alas he isn't a half-demon like InuYasha and only got a punch to the stomach, then to the head again.

InuYasha then picked up the now very bloody Hojo by his shirt and said "You are to never touch Kagome again, got it, or I might have to kill you…" He threw Hojo at the tree. Hojo hit it and slid down it leaving a path of fresh blood down the tree. His eyes shut and his breathing slowed.

InuYasha took a look at the bloody pulp he had made 'That's what you get for messing with my future mate you basted!' His eyes flashed again as he said this

InuYasha ran to Kagome and picked her up bridal style in his arms. Shippo came running out of the mini shine to see InuYasha cradling Kagome in his arms, her head lay on his chest and her eyes were closed.

InuYasha kissed her forehead and she stirred a little.

"Are you alright?" he whispered to her

"You came back and saved me…" She said as more of a question than a statement

"How was a suppose to leave my future mate when she is in trouble, I will always come back, no matter what happens…Kagome…I'm sorry for the way I acted before, I didn't understand your reasoning and I wouldn't listen…I'm so sorry…"

"I know…" she trailed off

"You are safe now, ok"

Kagome nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck "I know I am…I'm with you…"

InuYasha smiled at her words.

"I will always be with you…" She said "Forever…and after…" She closed her eyes and her grip on InuYasha loosened as she fell asleep in his arms.
