Chapter 2

Kagome entered the clearing to find an injured and unconscious hanyou.

"Inuyasha!" she yelled as she shot off another arrow at the snake. It missed and the youkai merely ignored her, moving in on the half- demon for the kill.

Not knowing what else to do, Kagome ran to Inuyasha and placed herself between the youkai and hanyou. Shakily, she notched an arrow an pointed it directly at the snake demon. The youkai hissed as it got ready to pounce.

Kagome squeezed her eyes closed and released the arrow. A loud hiss made her open her eyes. The snake was reeling backward, the arrow in its throat. Kagome then noticed a shikon shard in the youkai's forehead.

Inuyasha heard a loud hiss as his body regained consciousness. He opened his eyes quickly only to be startled by the sight before him.

There stood Kagome, bow and arrow in hand, protecting him. She had seemed to be doing a pretty good job too, considering the snake had an arrow in its throat. Kagome notched another arrow and shot it at the snake youkai. This time, it landed directly in its forehead.

The snake fell to the ground. Kagome inched towards the dead youkai and carefully took the shard. She then smiled happily and looked at Inuyasha.

"Look!" she said excitedly, holding the jewel out, "I did it all by myself!" she squealed slightly with a big grin on her face.

Inuyasha got up, wincing as he did so. Kagome's smile faded.

"Are you okay? What about Sango and the others?" Concern was thick in her tone, all trace of her happiness gone.

Inuyasha looked at her and snorted "Feh.. of course I'm okay; why wouldn't I be?" He looked at her like she was crazy. "The others are in Kaede's village." He quickly brushed past her and began walking in the direction of the village.

'He doesn't even care that I saved him!' Kagome fumed. She stalked up to Inuyasha. "Don't I get a 'thank you' or something?" she demanded.

"For what?" the hanyou asked defensively. "It's not like I needed your help with that demon.... Besides you shouldn't have just barreled in like that because you jus-"

"Osuwari!"

Inuyasha was cut off by his face meeting with the ground with a loud thud. When the spell wore off, Kagome was gone. Inuyasha shrugged. 'Women...'
