Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

Sorry again everybody for updating slowly (really sorry, I started writing this chapter, but then got a little stuck, so it took longer than I thought), but this time, I'll make sure to update soon! Let's see…ummm I'll update in less than two weeks! If I don't then throw something at me… Anyways, thanks to everyone who reviewed. Here's your well-deserved chapter!

Chapter 15: I Want To See Your Smile Again

"………" Inuyasha sat beside a tree thinking really hard. "……I know Kagome's suffering… but from what!"

"What's wrong Inuyasha?" Miroku came by and asked. "You seemed really troubled."

"Shut up Miroku. Can't you see I'm trying to think here!" Inuyasha scolded.

"Since when do you think Inuyasha?" Miroku asked.

"This isn't the time for jokes Miroku! Kagome's in trouble and I don't know why! Nobody knows why!"

"So you were thinking about a way to help Kagome right?"

"You know, I still don't know why I keep on telling you these things…"

"Hmmm… I might have an idea why."

"What is it? I have a bad feeling about it…"

"Hmm… So what's wrong with Kagome?"

"Feh! I already told you I don't know… Hey! At least tell me why I might keep on telling you these things!"

"And you said nobody else knows… Maybe you might want to ask her yourself."

"Don't ignore me!"

"What's wrong? I'm helping think of ways to figure out what's wrong with Kagome."

"………"

"What's with the silence?"

"…What was your idea again… Damn that monk… he never listens to anyone besides women… Then again, he's not perverted anymore… ARGH! I don't know how to insult him anymore!"

"I said maybe you should ask Lady Kagome."

"She's in a lot of pain right now. Last when I tried to ask what was wrong she didn't… Let's just say she won't tell me. I'm not telling you anything else! No matter what you say!"

"That's fine with me. I never asked you to tell me in the first place. You just willingly told me."

"What?"

"That's right. You told me upon your own will."

"Damn you!"

"Shouldn't you be worrying about something else?"

"Fine! When I'm done with helping Kagome, I'm gonna kill you Miroku! You hear that!"

"… You can do what you want afterwards, just help go help Lady Kagome."

After Miroku finished, Inuyasha ran off.

"Damn it all… I still don't know what to do…"

--------------------

"Shippo, did you hear what's been happening lately?" Sango asked.

"You mean bout Kagome not feeling well?" Shippo answered.

"Yeah. It seems Inuyasha's not doing well with it either… If Miroku told me correctly, Inuyasha doesn't know what's wrong with Kagome."

"Why don't we have Inuyasha ask Kagome what's wrong?"

"Miroku said he already suggested that to Inuyasha and Inuyasha said it wouldn't work."

"Oh… Then how abo-"

"I know! Why don't you sneak into the place Kagome's in and hide there and wait for Kagome to give a hint about what's wrong with her!"

"What about my-"

"Yeah! It's a great idea. It's settled. Shippo go do it now."

"Wait! What abo-"

"Go now!" Sango shouted with an evil look on her face.

"O-okay…" Shippo slowly backed away from Sango.

"Why do I always get caught up in messes like this…" Shippo said to himself as he walked to Kaede's hut.

When Shippo was at Kaede's hut, he stopped in his tracks and quickly hid. "Ack! No way! Inuyasha's here!" Shippo said to himself.

--------------------

"Kaede," Inuyasha said.

"What is it that you want Inuyasha?" Kaede asked.

"Can I see Kagome?"

"I'm sure it wouldn't hurt her. It seems her pain is somehow related to you. It might help us figure out why she's like this right now if you're with her," Kaede said, and then she left the hut to leave Kagome and Inuyasha alone.

"Kagome…" Inuyasha said.

"I-Inuyasha…" Kagome said weakly.

"Looks like she's still asleep…" Inuyasha said to himself. "Kagome…"

"Huh?" Kagome then slowly opened her eyes. "I-Inu…yasha… You're here… I'm glad…"

"Kagome… Kagome… can you tell me what's wrong?"

"That's right… Inuyasha can help me… I have to tell him… Inuyasha, the cause of my suffering is…" Kagome then paused.

"Kagome? What is it? What's wrong?"

"No… It-it's coming back…"

"What is? What's making you suffer!"

"The memory… My… dream… about you…"

"What!"

"Our argument… the words I said… what you did in my dream… please… make it stop… I don't… want to see it… again… it feels so real……"

"Our argument? Your dream?"

"I know… you can make it stop… Inuyasha…ahh…" Kagome felt little jolt in her head. "I don't want to see it again! No Stop! Inuyasha, please… find a way… I don't want to see it again!"

Kagome felt the pain in her head again as she saw the argument they had a while ago. She then started to cry again. "Kagome…" Inuyasha said as he saw Kagome cry. "I'll find a way. Just you wait…"

"So, that's what's wrong with Kagome actually I didn't really get it myself... but it seems Inuyasha gets it, Sango's plan is a failure…" Shippo thought. "Wait, but Inuyasha asked Kagome herself! HA! My plan worked Sango!"

--------------------

"Ha! Sango, I told you that all Inuyasha had to do was ask Kagome herself!" Shippo shouted.

"Well, my plan still worked… I mean you found out what was wrong with Kagome right?" Sango asked.

"But Inuyasha already found out himself! I told I was right! You should listen to me more often!" Shippo shouted triumphantly.

"Alright alright. Just quiet down or else everyone's going to start staring at us."

"What?"

Shippo looked around the area as some of the villagers started to stare at them, while others ignored them.

--------------------

"I told you Inuyasha, asking Lady Kagome directly would work," Miroku said.

"Feh! I know what's wrong with her. That's all I care about right now," Inuyasha said. "I don't care if it was your idea or not."

"It might actually help if you come talk to me more often."

"Feh! Don't praise yourself so much… Besides, wasn't going to do something to you?"

"Huh? Could he be talking about…killing me? I remember he said something like that before he left… You mean something like killing me?"

"Yeah. That's what I wanted to do! And I'm serious this time! I WILL KILL YOU!" Inuyasha pulled out Tetsusaiga with a very evil look on his face. "EAT THIS! KONGASHUHA!"

"A-ah! Inuyasha! That's very dangerous!" Miroku told Inuyasha barely dodging the attack.

"Of course it is! WIND SCAR!"

"WIND…. I forgot… I don't… have the Wind Tunnel anymore…"

"Come on Miroku! Is that all you got!"

"Come on Inuyasha! Can we at least talk about this!"

Miroku then ran away as fast as he could, while avoiding Inuyasha's attacks.

--------------------

After Inuysha stopped chasing Miroku, he sat down next to the Bone Eater's Well. "…At least Miroku's out of the way now…" Inuyasha said to himself. "But what am I going to do? Kagome's suffering! Damn it all… I pretty much know what's wrong with her, but I still don't know what to do…"

When Inuyasha finished, he saw an arrow with a sacred aura pass by piercing a demon nearby. "That arrow… It couldn't have been Kagome… Who else……" Inuyasha quickly stood up. "Maybe I can ask her for some help… I know Kagome might not like the idea, but I have no choice. I need all of the help I could get…"

"Hm?" a priestess turned around noticed Inuyasha approach her. "Inuyasha?"

"Kikyo…" Inuyasha said as he stopped in front of Kikyo.

"Where's Kagome? I thought you were going to be with her," Kikyo said.

"I know Kikyo, but I need some help…" Inuyasha said.

"From me? Couldn't you ask Kagome? You did choose her over me."

"Are you okay Kikyo? You're asking a lot about Kagome."

"I'm sorry… What is it that you wanted help with?"

"… Kagome's in a bad condition right now… I don't know what to do…"

"…… You should be by her side Inuyasha. There should also be something special that you have that should be able to help her."

"You're having trouble with this aren't you Kikyo, bout Kagome being with me?"

"No… It's nothing like that, I promised myself that I would go with the decision you make. I just want you to be happy."

"Happy huh? … Thanks a lot anyways Kikyo. Something special I have? What could it be? For now I guess I should be with Kagome…"

"Inuyasha…" Kikyo softly said as Inuyasa ran back to the village.

--------------------

Inuyasha went into Kaede's hut again, noticing that Kagome was asleep again and that Kaede wasn't in the hut. "Kagome… I'm here…" Inuyasha softly said.

"…Inu…yasha…Please…help…" Kagome softly said in her sleep.

"Still talking when you're asleep huh?" Inuyasha picked up Kagome's hand. "Kagome… I realized thinking of an idea when I'm by myself is wrong… I should be by your side… And you shouldn't be suffering by yourself… Don't keep all your suffering to yourself…… I want you to share your suffering with me. For your suffering to be also my suffering, for your sadness to be my sadness too… I want you to be happy if I'm happy… I'll find a way soon… because I want to see your smile again…"

"I…Inuyasha…" Kagome softly said as a tear ran down her cheek.

"I finally thought of a way, if it's the only way, then just maybe… just maybe I'll have to use that…" Inuyasha thought.

That's it for this chapter. I wanted to make this part quite long. Okay! I'm gonna update in less than two weeks! Less than two weeks! But just in case!
