Chapter 3- Red Snow

Kagome had fallen asleep resting again Inuyasha in the god tree. He was smiling now as he carried her bridal style back to Kaede's hut. She had both Inuyasha's haori over her and the blanket for warmth. She was breathing heavily from the cold, and Inuyasha knew he would have to get her back as soon as possible to avoid her getting sick. But he didn't want to, he just wanted to be able to hold her like he was doing forever. Never let her go. Not even when she would wake up, and stare at him. That would be like heaven to him. Just to see her beautiful brown eyes staring at his golden ones.

He sighed. Never. He knew it would never happen, as much as he'd like it to. It was just. His vision. It sent chills down his back as he remembered it. He…he had killed Kagome. And he was…different looking. He didn't look like the normal Inuyasha. It was as if he were standing there, watching himself kill the one he loved. But at the same time, he was stuck. Helpless. Useless. He just stood and watched as himself, or what was himself, killed Kagome.

Not knowing it Inuyasha let out a small growl. He was growling at himself. For being so damn stupid. He wished he'd had never of had that vision. And then…wait…what had made him have the vision? Why'd he have it in the first place. He had never, not once in his life time had a vision. But in his vision he was a…a…wo-

"Inuyasha!" his thoughts were broken off by a small squeaky like voice. He sighed, knowing Shippo would be running at him in at any moment asking what he had done to Kagome. Like he always did. And just as he had thought the small kitsune came running out of Kaede's hut and jumped on Inuyasha's shoulder. "Inuyasha!" he yelled once more. 'What'd you do to Kagome?"

Inuyasha growled at Shippo and whacked him off his shoulder. Shippo went flying away from both Inuyasha and Kagome. He landed in the snow with a great thump. "I didn't do anything to her, runt!" he snorted. "Why must you always assume I did something to her. Can you NOT tell she asleep," he glanced back at Shippo who was now running behind him. "Little moron," he added quickly before grunting and stepping up on the small porch of Kaede's hut. He entered the small hut to see all eyes on him. Miroku, Sango, and Kaede. He grunted and looked at them all one by one. "She's asleep, okay?" he asked a bit annoyed. It pissed him off when everyone thought just because him and Kagome had been gone for a while something had happened to her. Did they honestly think he would let anything happen to Kagome that evolved her getting seriously hurt?

"Well than," Miroku sat up as he talked. " Me and Sango have discovered something about Naraku…" his voice seemed to trail off at an odd tone. Inuyasha, who was gently placing Kagome down on the floor, glanced over his shoulder to look at Miroku. One of his eye brows raised and an ear twitched, signaling he was listening. "He's been hurt." Inuyasha turned his body around fully now to look at Miroku. " By who, we don't know. I mean, its Naraku, right? Who could possibly actually hurt him." Miroku rubbed his forehead as if he were annoyed at something. "Sesshomaru. At least, that's what we believe."

Inuyasha's eyes narrowed at the name of his brother. He growled lowly and stifled a bit. " Sesshomaru…" He sighed deeply and looked down at Sango. "You guys sure?" he asked. Sango nodded and stood as well. She stretched and yawned before speaking.

"Me and Miroku were scooping out some small little village. That's where we heard it. Someone said a demon dressed in a wolf type outfit came through the village. They say he was bleeding badly. Another villager said not much longer after that did a demon come in looking for Naraku. He had blood all over his hands. They say he had a crescent moon on his head."

"Sesshomaru for sure…" Inuyasha said. His eyes narrowed. "What the hell is his deal with Naraku anyways?" he asked out loud. Sango and Miroku bother shrugged. "but how did he hurt Naraku? I mean, I've hit Naraku directly with my wind scar before and he wasn't even hurt. Not one little scratch was visible on his body. He just…healed himself. I mean, it cant actually be Naraku. It makes no sense. Its just…he was hurt. Bleeding…"

"I know," said Miroku. "It is hard to believe. But what if its true. I mean me and Sango did see red snow. Blood in the snow Inuyasha in the village. And the only person we know of that would wear something so…hideous would be Naraku. Besides, if it is him then wouldn't now be the chance to go after him." Miroku did have a good point, and Inuyasha knew it. Its just, it didn't seem right to him. Naraku had never not once actually been hurt, hurt. He sighed and let himself drop down to the floor. He was exhausted.

"I want sleep," he grumbled unhappily. He slowly made his way to the back of the hut, in the corner. He sat for a little while before he felt his eye lids slowly drooping down on him. He didn't fight the urge to force them to stay open. He was tired. Very, very tired and he knew it. Kagome was sleeping, she was safe and he knew this. That was the only thing he cared about at this very moment….

She rolled over in her sleep. She was hot, she could feel herself heating up and sweating. She groaned as she sat up now remembering she was wearing Inuyasha's haori and had a blanket on her. A bit annoyed, she pried the blanket away from her slender body and yanked Inuyasha's haori off. In the process she had almost let the haori take a little side trip in the fire blazing soundlessly in Kaede's hut. She let out a small gasping noise as it just missed the fire. "That was close…" she whispered to herself. She glanced around the hut to see everyone was there. Sleeping. Even Inuyasha had still been there.

Amazing.

She smiled at herself and stood to her feet. With his haori held firmly in her hands, she tiptoed over to Inuyasha. A smile. She couldn't help it. When she looked at him the only thing she wanted to do was to smile. He always made her want to smile Even when he was made. And she knew she did the same for him. She sighed.

It was hard. Her thoughts confused her. It was always the same. It was like she knew Inuyasha loved her, but didn't want to believe it. Than at the same time she just thought he didn't like her at all. Maybe she was nothing more than a simple jewel seeker to him. Or just some girl that had simply popped up into his life. Something he never wanted.

She sighed.

Gently, so not to wake him, she placed his haori over him. He stirred, but did not wake up. She smiled again and gently brushed some of his silver hair out of his face. "Inuyasha…" she whispered, not wanting to wake him up, but at the same time wanting to. No luck. He just stayed there as stiff as a statue. She smiled. She knew he heard her. Maybe he was just ignoring her like he would usually do. "Good night Inuyasha," she said softly before standing fully to her feet now.

Quietly, so not to wake anyone up, she walked over to were she had ripped the blanket off her and picked it up. She wrapped it around herself and sighed. She needed a nice walk, or better yet just to be outside in the cool air. Only this time she didn't forget her shoes.

After placing on the last shoe she stepped out side the hut, letting the door clank close, causing Inuyasha to wake with a start.

He groaned and leaned off the wall, letting the haori flap down to his lap. He smiled softly as he put it on and than headed for the door. He knew Kagome had gone outside, he had seen her raven black hair as the door closed.

Eeeeeerrrrrrkkkkk….

The door opened with a horrible squeaking noise that made both Inuyasha and Kagome cringe. Kagome, who was sitting down, glanced behind her to see her favorite hanyou's golden eyes staring at her brown ones. She smiled, again. "Inuyasha, hi…" she said, not knowing what else to say to him. He nodded slowly and let himself drop down next to her.

"Hi," he said, as if repeating her words. "Why are you out here?" he asked. "Do you want to get yourself sick?" he added quickly. Kagome laughed slightly and shook her head, now looking down at the powdered snow.

"Just thinking, is all." she said happily. She let her foot swat the snow back and forth. It looked like thousands of little diamonds being swept every which way in the night time. The moon had been hitting the snow just right making it glitter in an amazing, beautiful way that just set Kagome into a awe kind of state. She loved the snow, and everything about it. Just like she loved Inuyasha. Nothing could, and nothing would, change that. She looked up at the moon, getting a quick glimpse at Inuyasha. He had been staring at her, she knew it. She had seen him. But she didn't dare to look over at him. He had seemed so…close to her when she did see him. And now something was telling her to look over, look over at him. But she didn't…who was she kidding. She did.

Inuyasha was only inches away from her face when she turned to face him. His breathe was on hers. It was on her lips, indicating how unbelievably close he was to her. Than, he moved even closer, his eyes never not once leaving hers…

Okay, so I got this one in the very next day also.
Sorry it took me all day though. I had a christmas party to go to. And it was fun. Than after that I went out with my mom. So I was busy all day. And now I am very tired.
