Thank you for reviewing, and I always try to update fast if possible. It is a Kagome and Inuyasha fanfic, I don't see either of them going with anyone else, really.

Chapter 4 – Kagome is missing

--

"Kagome!!" Inuyasha dashed into Kagome's house and looked around for her.

"Inuyasha, is that you?" Kagome's mother looked around the corner at Inuyasha, frantically looking around for Kagome. "Kagome hasn't come back yet…I thought she came back with you now?"

"Gotta go!" he ran back out of the house. "Where could she have gone? I would have seen her coming back to her house if I made it back before her…"

He ran towards the street and jumped to the closest roof top, and started to jump along the houses. "Dammed woman! I wasn't even doing anything!"

--

Inuyasha sat on the very top of one of the houses, looking across the city. The sun was starting to set, which made the sky gold and orange. He had checked everywhere he thought she would go-her school, the fool Hojo's house, her house (three more times), and the ramen store. Later he figured out that she only went there to get him ramen, so she obviously wouldn't go there if she was mad at him.

"Stupid bitch…" he mumbled and the wind carried his words and scattered them. He kept mumbling to himself for a while, until the sun had fully set and he started back to Kagome's house.

"Is Kagome back yet?" Inuyasha peeped around the kitchen door, where her mother always seemed to be.

"I don't believe so," she replied, "but you can check her room."

"Thanks." he responded and ran up the stairs, skipping four at a time. "Kagome?" he opened the door.

On her bed sat her little brother, Sota, was playing with the family cat. "Figures."

As he left the house, he thought of other places she would have gone…maybe she got hurt or something. "I still can't figure out why she didn't say 'sit' like she always does…" he thought. He thought of Kagome's face when she smiled, it was so sweet. Then he saw the image of her face when she saw Kiri kiss him. She was starting to cry…he didn't like it when she cried.

Suddenly his chest started to ache. He had no idea why.

--

"He's such a bastard!!!" Kagome shouted.

"Not so loud!" Yuka exclaimed. "My parents don't like it when I swear."

"Sorry…" she apologized.

"See, Kagome!" her friend said. "We all told you not to go with that other guy, and that you should go with Hojo instead! He's nice, handsome…"

Kagome ignored her friend. "But Yuka! I don't love Hojo!" she suddenly gasped.

"What is it, Kagome?"

"But then does that mean that…that I love Inuyasha?"

--

Inuyasha had to come up with a excuse to cover the fact that Kagome wasn't back home yet. He told her family that she had gone back to the feudal era already, and that he was going now too. But he didn't, instead he went back out to look for Kagome.

--

As it neared midnight, Inuyasha was walking along a residential street. He had given up on finding Kagome, he had no idea where she would be. His eyes looked at the sidewalk as he walked. And suddenly he looked up and towards on of the houses without doing it himself.

His heart ached; all he wanted to do was find Kagome and apologize to her. He never had before, but he felt he had to.

In the window of the house he had looked up at, was Kagome. She sat in a living room with one of her friends, watching TV.

"Kagome…" he thought. He felt relieved. "Kagome!"

--

"Inu…Inuyahsa?" Kagome looked out the window, a second too late to see him running towards the door. The bell rang. "Inuyasha!" she stood up so fast that the blood rushed to her head, black spots appeared in her sight and she fell back down on the couch.

"Kagome!" he saw her fall and ran towards her. "Kagome, are you alright?"

With her vision back, she saw Inuyasha clearly in front of her.

"Is this the two timer?" her friend asked.

"Kagome, are you alright?" he asked again.

"Bastard!!" her hand struck his face and he head moved to the side.

"I left…"

"Hunh?" Kagome asked confused.

"As soon as you ran away, I left the store." he didn't bother to move his head back to face her. "I went back to your home, I looked for you everywhere. My chest hurt, Kagome, I didn't know why…the only other times it hurt was when Kikyo shot the arrow at me, and when Naraku killed Kikyo."

"Your point?"

"I couldn't find you, therefore my heart hurt. I had given up, I thought that if you wanted to be mad at me, I didn't care." he closed his eyes. "But as I walked along the street outside, my head lifted and I saw you in the window. My heard stopped hurting."

Kagome gasped.

"How sweet!" Kagome's friend though as she watched them. "Maybe he isn't so bad, after all…"

"I-Inuyasha…" she whispered. Suddenly the front wall of the house exploded.

"Kagome!!" He screamed as the dust settled. He couldn't see her, but through the smoke he saw a figure…three figures. "Who are you?"

As all of the smoke disappeared, he saw who they were. "You bitch!" he screamed. His eyes then caught something on the floor, it was Kagome.

He turned his attention to her. "Kagome!" he dropped to his knees, she was half covered in debris, and she was bleeding badly. "Bitch!"

"Oh I'm so sorry for hurting her!" the figure in the middle of the three spoke. "Did I kill her? Oh, please say yes!"

Thanks for reading and please review! They are really helpful, and I'd like to know if anyone wants it to go more into romance or violence. Please tell me! I could do either one, whichever is most voted for. Thanks!
