Chapter three: Questions

A/N: I want to say thank you to all the people who have read and reviewed my story thus far! you guys kick a$$! And to all the people who are reading my stories for the first time, I really hope you like them! Me and most of my other friends (who also are in love with Inuyasha) have given each other nicknames from the show! I was gifted with the name Kagome! And my friend Joe is going to dye his hair silver/white so he is going to be Inuyasha! My friend Jessica is going to be Sango even though you will never see her tossing a 100 pound boomerang, her boyfriend Corey is going to be kouga. (he would have been Miroku but he isn't lecherous and jess didn't want to have to hit him a lot… my friend Andrea is going to be Kikyo because Joe I guess, wants to have us both haha… also she looks like me (or should I say I look like her because Kagome and the reincarnation of Kikyo thing…) I love being Kagome! Mostly because I love her mannerisms (hand movements) and the things she does, like get saved a lot! (just to let you know these are not for my story I just felt like telling you what my crazy life and friends are like) –Sam-


When they got back to Kaede's village she automatically took them in and gave them water. Kagome found the extra medication and bandages she stored in Kaede's home. She walked out and went to Inuyasha's side.

"no child, let me take care of yee" Kaede's gentle voice was a song to Kagome's ears.

"I'm fine, all I need to do is take care of them, that's the only thing that will make me feel better" Kagome said caringly as she placed a hot cloth on Inuyasha's forehead. Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku were all lying on the floor, exhausted from battle. Kaede went to Sango's aid with a few pain relievers and some bandages. Kagome got more bandages and went back to Inuyasha, sitting on her knees next to him.

"Naraku is dead, I cant sense his power anymore…and the jewel was safe the whole time, here with Kaede" Kagome says in a slightly happy voice as she places bandages on the belly of the half conscious hanyou.

"he's probably deceiving us…" Inuyasha said opening his eyes and looking at Kagome. She looked very pretty for a girl who had been fighting a war with Naraku for the past two days. Even with her face covered in dirt and twigs in her hair, she looked good, were Inuyasha's exact thoughts as he looked at her. She looked at him as if she was both upset and angry.

"what?" Inuyasha said

"how can you be so hopeless!" she violently responded.

"what, what do you mean?" Inuyasha asked confused.

"we just finished battling Naraku! Couldn't you just take pride in it and think that possibly we succeeded!" she yelled. She hated when he was so negative, it made her want to just give up, but she could never give up on him.

"quite, yee will wake thee others…" Kaede said sternly from the otherside of the room. There was an awkward silence for a moment.

"would… would that make you happy?" Inuyasha broke the silence. Kagome didn't know what to do, he was so calm, and she just yelled at him. She felt like a jerk, and not to mention he just asked if it would make her happy. She remained silent with a slight blush on her face. Inuyasha tried getting up but struggled.

"don't" Kagome said putting her hand on his torso and the other on his back. He took her hand in his and she lowered the hand on his back to the ground.

At first he just looked at her hand, then he looked her directly in the eyes. She went limp when he did things like that; like give her soft looks or hold her, even by touching his hand to hers she felt feelings she felt with no one else. Strange as it is she loved him even when he yelled at her.

"Inuyasha…" his name slipped from her lips.

"what are you going to do…if Naraku…is truly defeated?"

Kagome thought for a moment, she was sort of unprepared. She still hadn't thought about it much.

"I…I don't really know yet" she said nervously looking around.

"ok" he said letting go of her hand and lying back down.

"as long as you don't decide to go home forever…" Inuyasha murmured just loud enough for her to hear as he fell into a light sleep.

After Kaede dismissed Kagome from the house, she went to a hot spring.

"look at me, I'm covered with blood and dirt!" she said as she slipped of her school uniform and sank below the nice warm water. Inuyasha was right, what will I do now that Naraku is dead? She put her chin and mouth under the water. There really is no reason for me to be here…and plus if I go back to my era, I don't even know…if I can ever come back. She was so lost in her own thoughts she didn't notice her best friend come through the trees and stand next to the hot spring.

"kagome…"

"huh?" Kagome turned to her friend.

"I hear you talking with Inuyasha earlier" she joined Kagome in the hot spring. Kagome stayed of silence and Sango felt worried.

"it must be allot of pressure on you to choose…whether to stay with the man you love, or to go home…"

Kagome looked at Sango blushing.

"what, who said anything about that?" Kagome said in denial. Sango put some shampoo in her hair and started to lather it into her scalp. As she washed away the dirt and demon grime from her hair Kagome saw the scars on Sango's back. That's right, Sango had to choose once before…she had to choose between her little brother, who had died once before and Miroku. She remembered the scene so clearly, like it had just happened. It was night and Naraku had sent Kohaku to either kill Kagome or steal the jewel, whichever he could pull off first. Sango had ordered Inuyasha not to fight with Kohaku, she wanted to end it. (A/N: I will probably write a story about Sango, Miroku, and Kohaku)

Sango was crying the whole time. Poor Sango…Kagome looked down at her own hands.

"Sango…" Kagome started

"yeah, what is it?" she sat down next to Kagome.

"how did you choose, you know about Kohaku?" Sango looked at Kagome

"what about him" Sango said sadly. Kagome felt horrible for asking but she really felt she had to.

"how did you decide…to kill Kohaku?"
