Chapter 4

Naraku had Kagome by her neck choking her giving Kagome little air to breath from, Inuyasha watched in horror, knowing that if he even did anything threatening Naraku would really kill her. Inuyasha running out of options felt the shards in his sleeve and thought the only way to save Kagome would to hand him the shards. Slowly Inuyasha took the shards out of his sleeve, the shards still being in a little bottle Inuyasha rolled it over to Naraku. Naraku greedily grabbed them and let go of Kagome causing her to fall hard on the ground. Inuyasha rushed over to Kagomes side but before he got to her he felt a sharp pain through his stomach looking down he saw what was a hole right through his stomach. Inuyasha having no time to react fell to the ground dead.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled, she ran over to his side crying and calling out his name.

"Inuyasha! Inuyasha please don't die! INUYASHA!" Tears pouring from the miko's eyes sitting beside the one person she truely loved who was now dead.

"Inuyasha" Kagome cried out. Inuyasha's ears twitched at Kagome's voice and looked over to her side. She was tossing and turning where she slept, she had a sad and angered exspression upon her sleeping face. Inuyasha walked over to her.

'She's having a nightmare'. He thought to himself.

"Inuyasha!" she said again with a tear falling from her eye.

'She's having a nightmare..about..me.'

Not wanting to wake her up, Inuyasha gently pulled Kagome into his arms and held her tight against his chest nuzzling her neck. Kagome soon calmed down and not realizing it but leaning into his comforting embrace. The sun soon had risen and shone a bright light into the hut which had awoken Kagome. Slowly opening her eyes she looked up and saw Inuyasha leaning his head atop hers.

'This is the second time I wake up in his arms,' she thought to herself. 'Not that I don't like it or anything.' She grinned a bit and leaned more into his embrace. Inuyasha woke up to the movement Kagome had made and looked down at her with adoring eyes. He saw Kagome's eyes were closed and breathed a sigh of relief that she hadn't caught him holding her again. He gently set her down in her previous position before he took her into his arms and walked out of the hut. Yet what he didn't know was that Kagome had been awake through the whole thing and just pretended to sleep. She was a little upset when he put her down the only comfortable position that she could think of was being in his arms.

Sango and Miroku looked over at Inuyasha when he came out of the hut.

"How's she doing?" Miroku asked.

"Keh she's still sleeping, damn wench better hurry up and get well were wasting time being here. We have to keep looking for the jewel shards." Inuyasha snorted.

"Remember Inuyasha it was your fault she got hurt in the first place." Sango retorted.

"Keh I know that." And with that Inuyasha left the village towards the forest.
