Chapter 2: A Certain Someone

"Are you sure?" Kagome asked InuYasha.

"Yes I am!" he stated turning around and starting to walk away.

"Fine then I'll go myself," she declared in an I'm-gonna-do-something voice. InuYasha recognized that voice and turned again to face her. He tilted his ears forward and gave Kagome the puppy face.

"What'd ya mean you'll go by yourself then?" He questioned.

She just turned around and started to walk away from him knowing that he would follow him. Just as she suspected he followed her.

After walking for fifteen minutes InuYasha whined, "Does this have anything to do with the hunt for the jewel shards?" Kagome ignored him and kept on walking.

Another fifteen minutes later they came to a hot spring. InuYasha gave Kagome an inquisitive look but then noting that she was undressing turned around blushing. Kagome giggled and then slipped into the spring. InuYasha peeked and then asked, "Can I turn around now?"

Kagome replied, "Yeah and if you plan on getting in you may as well undress too."

InuYasha blushed even harder and then slowly got out of his clothes he turned around and saw that Kagome wasn't looking at him and breathed a sigh of relief a little too early. After he had sighed Kagome had turned around to see what had taken him so long and she gasped and InuYasha promptly turned around about to put his clothes back on.

"No, it's OK I was just a bit uh…surprised." She quickly said after turning around. "I promise I won't look this time unless you say it's OK." She said hiding her blush but just barley.

"Are you sure you want us to take a bath together?" He asked cautiously. She nodded so he cautiously turned around and said, "OK I don't mind if you look…but don't freak out." He turned around in time to see Kagome rising out of the water slowly.

She was standing there completely naked and he couldn't take his eyes off of her. She couldn't take her eyes off of him either. She opened her mouth to speak but he covered her lips in a kiss that was on the boarder of violent.

She practically melted in his encircling arms. She ran her lips over his teeth and he shuddered.

His arousal was hurting him and he knew he should stop so he broke the kiss and looked into her eyes. "Are you sure you want this?" he asked with a certain pleading in his voice. She nodded and he carefully laid her down when InuYasha felt a certain presence nearby.

Kagome felt it too and quickly re-dressed along with InuYasha. A voice called out from a fog that was surrounding them, "My, my what do we have here?"

"What do you want, Naraku?" InuYasha muttered in a deadly voice. He drew his Tetsusaiga out of it's sheathe and put it in a defensive position.

Naraku slithered out of the fog saying, "Nothing much just your life the girl's body and of course the last remaining jewel shards that I don't have." He started walking over to Kagome and InuYasha jumped in his path. Naraku smiled and declared, "I guess I'll have to take your life first then."

"Your not having Kagome!" he shouted swiping his blade to drive him away from Kagome. The blade went through him and the illusion disappeared. "Damn you Naraku!" he shouted while putting the Tetsusaiga back in it's sheathe. Kagome was frozen where she had stood so InuYasha picked her up.

Naraku glared at the disappearing InuYasha in disgust, "Why do I torture him so?" he asked himself, "Oh now I remember…because it's fun." He answered his own question and faded into the mist following InuYasha silently.

"Are you alright?" InuYasha asked in a concerned voice. Miroku raised an eyebrow at his question and Sango looked at Miroku.

Kagome nodded, "What happened/" she asked drowsily. InuYasha stared at her in disbelief and stalked off.

"What's his problem?" Miroku asked. Sango walked over to him and hugged him.

"Don't worry about it when he's ready he'll tell whoever…I think." She said reassuringly. Miroku looked at her with a confused look on her face then shrugged and walked over to stoke the fir.

"No really I want to know what has gone on since the night InuYasha and I…took that walk the night you two were kissing. Last thing I remember was going to sleep and then when I woke up I was here.

"All that I know is that InuYasha carried you back from the fog two nights ago. You've been out ever since then." Sango said carrying a pitcher of water to Miroku so he could cook some food for Kagome.

"Come here," Naraku spoke as Kikyo put an arrow onto her bow and readied it.

"What do you want Onigumo?" she asked spitting out his human name with hatred clear in her voice.

Naraku took a step closer to her and then said, "My, my now you can lower your bow I have no intention of harming you. I just have a proposal to give you." He noted a slight softening in her face muscles.

"What kind of proposal?" she asked cautiously only lowering her bow about an inch or two. He took another step closer to her and stopped.

"It's simple I want the girl and you want InuYasha to go to hell with." He stated standing where he was.

"You're point may be?" she asked not letting another inch off her stance.

"My proposal is that you weaken InuYasha for me then I will take the girl. You can then take that half-breed to hell with you without any disturbance from the wench Kagome." Naraku started to fade away, "I will give you until tomarrow to give me your answer but remember if you decline I will hurt you and perhaps just fatally wound you and leave you alone to die." On his last words he was completely gone and there was an odd feeling to the grove where he had been so Kikyo stalked off to ponder what he had said.

"I really want to know what happened!" Kagome wined.

Sango shook her head and said quietly, "Kagome you were out for two days."

"Really? That's not what I meant though what I mean is how did I get here?" she asked winning a little bit louder.

"InuYasha brought you here after you guys had started off into the mist you were gone for almost two hours then he came running out of the fog carrying you." Sango stated making herself and Kagome each a plate of food.

"Strange last thing I remember was when InuYasha and I took a walk that night you and Miroku were kissing." Kagome said looking confused.

At that moment Miroku walked in looking oddly like a zombie with his eyes glazed over. "Sango can you come with me I need to show you something." He lazily said slurring on some words.

"Sango say no, Miroku you sound like a drunk on New Years Eve." Kagome said astonished. Sango nodded even though she didn't know what News Years Eve was or what a drunk looked like but was guessing that it was kinda like how Miroku looked right now.

"Miroku what's with you?" She asked with a concerned look on her face. Kagome was about to say something when InuYasha burst into the room.

"Hey Miroku…Sango that was how Kagome looked when she was bringing me to that spring." InuYasha said as he studied Miroku's face and mostly his eyes.

"Huh what springs?" Kagome asked, "I didn't know there were any springs around here."

"You were the one who showed them to me!" InuYasha shouted, "you…well…you…and then…then Naraku showed up but really wasn't there…" InuYasha's ears twitched back outside a little and then he ran out.

"Huh what did I miss and how did I get in here?" Miroku asked groggily shaking his head. Kagome looked at Sango and Sango nodded.

"Miroku we'll explain later stay here you probably are really tired." Sango ordered him while she was getting her Hiraikos.

Miroku had already fallen asleep and Kagome shook her head. She ran outside after InuYasha before Sango could say anything.
