Ch. 18 Interference

RECAP.

"What did Inuyasha say?" Miroku asked after a while after Kagome had left for class.

"Nothing as usual. He's not going to tell me what's going on or where he is." Sango sighed.

"He misses Kagome huh?" Miroku asked her.

"Of course he does. He doesn't even want me to set Kagome up on that date."

"I wouldn't doubt it." Miroku nodded.

"Ya...but I got him to agree. We just have to talk Kagome into it." Sango told him.

"That's going to be pretty hard." Miroku told her as he took a sip of his coffee.

"Yup." Sango sighed.

END.RECAP.

"Set them up! What about Inuyasha! There is no way Kagome will agree to this. Your the one who got Inuyasha and Kagome together in the first place and now you want to split them up! You can't do that!" Rin yelled out in histeria as Sango tried to get her to shut up so she could explain. She finally pushed Rin into a chair and got her quiet.

"I don't want to split them up! Sheesh Rin, calm down. I just want to keep Kagome...well...you know, occupied." Sango said trying to word it so she'd understand.

"You want her to have sex with some other guy!" Rin asked looking at what Sango was saying in the total opposite direction.

"NO! Sheesh Rin! I just want her to go out with another guy for now cause I know i'm not the only one who has noticed her fake act she's been putting on. I just want her to have something to do so until Inuyasha gets back she wont have time to mope around and all." Sango explained as she crossed her arms and let a deep breath escape her from the exhaustion of trying to explain. "Damn Rin."

"Well sorry...just when you said you wanted Kagome to sleep with another guy..." She started.

"I never said I wanted her to sleep with anyone!" Sango rolled her eyes.

"Whatever. I'm in, I agree she needs to take her mind off him...well just until he gets back." Rin sighed with a unknowing shrug.

"Ya thats what I want to do. But we both know how Kagome can be, and I know you've known her longer but I think we can both agree that she can be stubborn." Sango said.

"Psh, you've got that right." Rin nodded.

"I've got an idea." Sango smiled suddenly.

"What is it?" Rin asked now interested.

"Well we'll tell her we want to meet her at a restaurant and just leave them two to get to know each other." Sango smiled.

"Excellent." Rin smiled as they started planning.

LATER.AT.A.SMALL.RESTAURANT.

"Hey sorry i'm late guys." Kagome smiled as she walked over to their table and saw a guy sitting at their table. "Oh hi."

"It's ok, this is Yari." Sango smiled.

"Ya this is Kagome." Rin told the boy.

"Hi, so your the date i've been waiting here for." Yari smirked.

"Excuse me?" Kagome asked and looked at both Sango and Rin. Sango elbowed Yari in the side and shrugged.

"Well it's having to turn into a date cause I just got a call from Miroku and he needs me and Rin's help with something." Sango explained.

"Oh really? And what might that be?" Kagome asked with a murderous glare toward both girls.

"Uhh..." Sango started.

"The car! He needs help fixing his car." Rin shrugged.

"Since when could you fix cars Rin?" Kagome asked with a suspicious look.

"Since always!" Rin smiled. "Duh."

"Oh really...well, I guess i'll just head home then." Kagome shrugged.

"What about me?" Yari asked.

"Nice meeting you Yari." Kagome smiled as she stood.

"Kagome! Hey what's up? Hey Sango, Hey Rin." Bankotsu said as he walked over when he spotted them.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Sango asked.

"Getting food. Starving, I feel like I haven't eaten in weeks." He said as he rubbed his stomach. "What about you ladies?"

"Nothing, me and Rin have to jet and we invited Kagome and Yari to eat but...things turned out badly." Sango shrugged.

"Well i'll be happy to join you two." Bankotsu smiled when he saw the thankful look on Kagome's face. Both Sango and Rin sighed already planning Bankotsu's death.

"Ok well...bye." Sango said dully as her and Rin walked to the exit.

"This is Yari, Yari this is Bankotsu." Kagome introduced the two.

"Whats up?" Bankotsu asked Yari.

"Not much, I was told if I came I'd get a pretty hott date. But apparently she doesn't want to keep me company." Yari sighed making Kagome blush and guilt creep to her.

"Take no offence to it, she just has a boyfriend already. I don't blame you though, she is pretty hott." Bankotsu smirked with a shrug making Kagome blush more.

"I'm still here..." Kagome let them know.

"Oh shit, so you are." Bankotsu laughed earning a hit to the shoulder. "Ow, mean little thing."

"You deserved that though." Yari laughed along.

"Hey! I don't even know you! You can't say that." Bankotsu continued to laugh as he sat down.

"Oh shut up." Kagome rolled her eyes and sat back down in her chair. "So tell me something Yari, how do you know Sango?" Kagome asked curiously.

"Well I went to school with her and I ran into her a few weeks ago and we exchanged numbers so we could get back in touch again.

"Well if you went to school with Sango then you probably know Inuyasha, always was one of her best friends." Bankotsu said.

"Ya I remember him. Protective as hell, pretty cool guy for a half demon." Yari shrugged.

"Heh, ya...nothings wrong with demons you know." Bankotsu told him with a narrowed look.

"I got nothing against them." Yari shrugged.

"Ya, Inuyasha's her boyfriend." Bankotsu said motioning toward Kagome.

"Cool guy." Yari nodded and cleared his throat thinking he just dug his own grave.

"It's ok." Kagome laughed.

Lunch had gone pretty smoothly afterwards, Bankotsu just kept trying to comfort Kagome with his stupidity and joking around and Yari seemed to be an ok guy to meet after all. They spent the whole time eating and laughing at everything. She had also told Yari about her club and told him he should stop by some time. When Kagome left Bankotsu and Yari both stayed and chatted a little longer. That night Kagome had ran into the two boys once more at her club but finding them both far beyond buzzed.

"Hey Kagome i'm going to go find Miroku." Sango told her when she saw Yari.

"Ya...i'm going to go see Sesshy." Rin smiled before walking off. Kagome laughed and rolled her eyes to go see what the two boys were up to. She saw Yari talking to the bartender as the bartender ignored him just nodding every so often. She walked over to Bankotsu as he finished another glass.

"Ease up on the alcohol buddy." Kagome told him and took his glass from him when it got refilled.

"Hey thats mine!" Bankotsu whinned.

"You need to go home." Kagome laughed and she walked away with the glass. He slowly got off his stool before following her and she walked toward the bathroom but when she went into the hallway she turned down the other hallway and walked to the water fountain. She saw Bankotsu and shook her head at him before holding it over the water fountain.

"No! That's mine!" He said as he walked over to her.

"Well you've had enough." She told him and poured the drink down the drain.

"Bitch!" He said as he watched the drink slip into the drain then looked up at her as she leaned back against the wall waiting for him to finish watching the drink.

"It's gone." She told him.

"I see." He sighed. "I'll forgive you."

"Oh why thank you." She laughed at his random gesture.

"Ya, just cause your so cute." He smirked. Kagome suddenly stopped laughing and blushed. "You are pretty hott you know." He said as he got closer to her.

"Uhh...Bankotsu?" She asked nervously. He wrapped his arms around her waist before leaning forward to capture her lips with his own. Kagome's eyes widened when she realized he was kissing her and she tried to push him away. "Bankotsu...come on...you need to go home...your drunk." Kagome explained to the boy. She was kind of thankful when Yari walked in.

"Yo Bankotsu. We're so going surfing together tomorrow." Yari laughed not even realizing what was going on in front of him.

"You are so right." Bankotsu turned around and said leaving Kagome off balance as she fell back against the wall.

"But for now, i'm going home to crash." Yari yawned.

"Ya, i'll give you a lift. Later Kaggs." Bankotsu waved as they left. Kagome stayed standing against the wall still a little stunned. Sango was going to the bathroom when she saw Kagome.

"Hey Kagome, hiding out?" Sango sighed thinking she would never set her up on the date.

"Uhh...ya...I'm going home. I just remembered I have homework." Kagome said before she walked away not giving Sango a chance to say anything.

xXxXxXxXxXxX

"Man what am I going to do...maybe it was just the alcohol?...I sure hope so...I can never tell Inuyasha...Bankotsu is his friend. And why won't Sango tell me she's been talking to Inuyasha?" She sighed as silent tears ran down her face. 'I barely heard the voice when Miroku picked up the phone but I know it was Inuyasha. I know it was...they're keeping something from me and if Inuyasha can talk to Sango then why can't he speak to me? Well fine then! If he wants to leave and forget about me that easily then I can do the same.' She decided as she sat up and picked her phone up before dialing a number.

"Wait...I should wait till morning." She sighed and tossed the phone on the floor before lying back down with a yawn and gathering the pillows under her making herself comfortable before she lied there waiting for sleep to overtake her.

xXxXxXxXxXxX

"Ya i'm sorry...I think I had to many drinks and I know thats no excuse for what I did but I really am sorry." Bankotsu apologized. "I remembered it all when I woke up. I just kinda get carried away when i'm drunk."

"It's ok, I figured it was cause you were drunk cause I doubted you would want to face Inuyasha willingly." Kagome laughed.

"You got that right." He chuckled. "He gets to serious in fights." He smirked. "So why are you really here then? If it's not about that then what brings you by?"

"I was just wondering if..." She started not knowing whether to finish the question.

"If? What's wrong Kaggs?" He asked. "If what?"

"If you've been talking to Inuyasha this whole time also?" Kagome asked.

"Oh...well...how'd you find out we were keeping in touch with him?" Bankotsu asked a little guiltily.

"Actually I wasn't sure but you just assured it for me." Kagome sighed.

"Fuck Kagome, that's cold." Bankotsu said as he sat back and covering his mouth for opening it in the first place.

"I'm sorry Bankotsu...I just had to find out for sure." Kagome said as she sniffed back her tears.

"Hey don't cry." He told her feeling more guilty now.

"I have one question. Why did he keep in touch with all of you...and not with me?" She asked as a few silent tears strayed from her eyes.

"Well...he couldn't?" He said more in a question then statement. He knew he couldn't tell her the truth but he didn't know how to lie to her either. "Maybe you should talk about this with Sango." He offered.

"I'm here now...I want to know Bankotsu...please?" She asked him and it was killing him to have to lie to her. 'What if she finds out what then huh!' He remembered yelling to Inuyasha. 'I don't care what you tell her! Just don't tell her the truth! She can't find out, it's to dangerous! Tell her...tell her anything...tell her i'm not coming back.' He remembered Inuyasha saying if she had found this out. He knew he didn't want him to really say that but at the moment he couldn't think of anything else and she was waiting for an answer at that moment.

"Please Bankotsu..." Kagome asked again.

"He-..He's not coming back." Bankotsu told her and saw the shock that replaced the hurt in her face a minute ago but to be replaced by both hurt and shock along with...guilt? She felt guilty for feeling anger toward Sango for not telling her but now she figured she was just trying to protect her.

"But...he promised me..." She said so quietly he almost didn't hear her.

"K-Kago-..." He started but she just stood up.

"I'll see you later Bankotsu...thank you." She said before she left the room and he heard the door close as she left then her car engine start up before she drove out of the driveway.

'Not coming back? You couldn't tell me that small detail Inuyasha! You couldn't tell me that your sorry ass wasn't going to come back! Well fine then! Don't come back! I don't fucking need you!' Kagome thought but the mere thought of him never returning made her cry out more and more until she had to pull over and call Sango to pick her up since she couldn't stop crying. After she called she sat against the hood of her car waiting for Sango. She saw Sango's car pull up beside her and she got out with a worried look but Kagome didn't say anything and just got in the passengers seat and Sango got back in and started driving. At least five minutes after driving Sango spoke up.

"Want to tell me whats wrong?" Sango asked.

"I give up." Kagome said simply with a half smile on her face as she looked down while tears still continued to fall gently.

"What?" Sango asked a little confused.

"I forfeit. I give up on love. That's it for me. I don't ever want to fall in love again." Kagome told her.

"W-why?" Sango asked now surprised.

"Inuyasha's not coming back." Kagome said simply.

"Who told you that?" Sango asked her from shock.

"Bankotsu told me...he said thats why he's been talking to you guys and not me." Kagome explained.

"He's coming back...just...we don't know when...and your in danger if you talk to him." Sango sighed letting her know the truth. She knew Inuyasha didn't want Kagome to know but she couldn't let her friend give up on love. "Bankotsu just couldn't tell you the truth cause Inuyasha didn't want you to know. Cause then you'd believe he was coming back soon...when were not sure when he's coming back. He really does miss you though." Sango explained and Kagome sat there letting this all sink in.

WITH.INUYASHA.THREE.DAYS.LATER.

"Here it is. I'm leaving now, I did my job, now i'm done and i'm going home." Inuyasha said after the guys he had gotten finished placing all the bags and suit cases all over the room.

"Not so fast." Naraku laughed low in his throat.

"No, i'm done! I'm leaving!" Inuyasha yelled. Naraku smirked and looked at the back of the room at one of his gang members and motioned his hand. The man nodded and opened the back door to let another member of the gang walk in with someone with a blanket over their head.

"And behind door number one..." Naraku smirked as he watched Inuyasha's eyes widen as he saw what was under the blanket.

"K-Kagome..." Inuyasha said as he looked in disbelief then growl eruppted in his throat and he turned to look at Naraku. "I'll kill you bastard!" He yelled as he jumped on Naraku's desk and went to jump on Naraku but the demon had managed to dodge him just in time. "Why the hell are you bringing her into this! She doesn't have anything to do with this!" Inuyasha yelled and looked over at Kagome to see her unconcious but suddenly noticed something different in her scent. 'Wait a second...she doesn't smell like she usually does...could it be from being in the hands of Naraku? Maybe...' He decided.

xXxXxXxXxX

"We have to help him! He'll get killed!" A woman argued.

"He's a criminal also, shouldn't we just let them kill each other?" A man asked.

"That would be the same as murder and you know it! We made a promise to him so he'd do this for us so we need to keep our promise! We also promised him the protection of Higurashi, Kagome and we kept that one but he believes that she is there and in danger so he might go against our wishes and get into trouble! Do you understand!" The woman asked.

"Ya whatever, ok call for a back up team. We have all the evidence we need anyways." Another man said.

TWO.WEEKS.LATER.

"Kagome for someone who wanted to give up on love you sure have made yourself known to the opposite sex." Sango laughed.

"Well, I don't know when Inuyasha is coming back and your the one who wanted me to stay occupied. I'm not going to do anything bad or anything cause I still love Inuyasha but girls need attention and you know...Inuyasha spoiled me and now i'm dying for some." Kagome whinned with a smirk.

"I guess thats understandable." Sango laughed.

"I do miss him though." Kagome sighed as she rested her elbow on the counter with her chin lying in her palm.

"Ya...but he'll be back, maybe sooner then we think." Sango shrugged.

"You've talked to him!" Kagome asked excitedly.

"Well...no...I haven't been able to talk to him since the day you found out." She told her friend.

"Oh...well...i'm on. See you afterwards." Kagome sighed as she walked out of the kitchen and walked to the stage.

"Inuyasha get back soon." Sango sighed and walked out just as Kagome began to sing on stage. Lately she had been writing music to keep herself occupied and this was her newest piece.

"Under a lovers' sky

Gonna be with you

And noone's gonna be around

If you think that you won't fall

Well just wait until

Til the sun goes down

Underneath the starlight - starlight

There's a magical feeling - so right

It'll steal your heart tonight " As of lately she had written a few songs and this one was her favorite. This one made her thing of Inuyasha the most.

"You can try to resist

Try to hide from my kiss

But you know

But you know that you can't fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark

You'll surrender your heart

But you know

But you know that you can't fight the moonlight

No, you can't fight it

It's gonna get to your heart

There's no escape from love

Was a gentle breeze

Weaves it's spell upon your heart

No matter what you think

It won't be too long

Til your in my arms

Underneath the starlight - starlight

We'll be lost in the rhythm - so right

Feel it steal your heart tonight" She sang this song everynight before she went to bed and she finally decided to share it.

xXxXxXxXxXxX

"Bout time you woke up. That first battle was pretty intense. I don't want you fighting Naraku." A womans voice said as Inuyasha looked around waiting for his vision to clear.

"K-Kagome?" Inuyasha asked carefully as he recognized the voice but not the scent.

"Yes Inuyasha, it's me. I missed you so much. I can't believe you haven't came home yet." She told him as a few tears ran down her face.

"What are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked.

"Naraku kidnapped me. He came to my house and my brother even saw him and then all of a sudden Naraku tied me up and took me. It was terrible." The girl cried.

"Your brother? Why were you there?" Inuyasha asked curiously.

"Oh...I wanted to visit my brother." She shrugged. "I've missed you baby." She sighed.

"Really? How long have you been here?" He asked curiously. Well I think about three weeks now." She told him.

"How are Sango and the others?" Inuyasha asked curiously. "Is Sango still with Yari?" He asked curiously.

"Ya, they're so happy, she's so happy with him. I love her being happy." The girl smiled. "So how do you feel honey? You feeling ok?" She asked. Suddenly Inuyasha got up and walked out of the room with the girl following him out. Inuyasha found Naraku with his members all ready to attack.

"All I want is for you to stay here and we wont hurt the girl." Naraku told him.

"No, i'm not staying." Inuyasha said simply.

"Fine, your loss." Naraku said and motioned for one of his men to fire. They all watched as Inuyasha just stood there expecting him to jump to save 'Kagome' but he just watched also as as arrow flew through the air and hit the woman in the stomach.

xXxXxXxXxX

"You can try to resist

Try to hide from my kiss

But you know

But you know that you can't fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark

You'll surrender your heart

But you know

But you know that you can't fight the moonlight

No you can't fight it

No matter what you do

The night is gonna get to you

Don't try then

You're never gonna win " She smiled as she sang just having a good feeling, this song always made her feel better.

xXxXxXxXxXxX

"Have you ever heard of the battles of love and war? Well...apparently not, you see it's this thing where you battle yourself for so long until you finally surrender to your heart cause you'll never win. During this battle of mine I came to learn so much about Kagome. This is not Kagome. My Kagome is innocent and does not talk like this girl does and she knows and cares about her friends and their lives." Inuyasha explained and turned to look at the girl on the ground to see it was a demon...to make it simpler it was a shapeshifter.

"Kill him." Naraku said simply.

xXxXxXxXxXxXxX

"Part of me the starlight - starlight

There's a magical feeling - so right

It will steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist

Try to hide from my kiss

But you know

But you know that you can't fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark

You'll surrender your heart

But you know

But you know that you can't fight the moonlight

No, you can't fight it " Kagome had feeling when she sang this song cause she had already lived it, she surrendered her heart to Inuyasha and now it was up to him to surrender his back to her. She had decided she would wait too.

xXxXxXxXxXxX

"Now a good enough time to run in!" The woman asked.

"Yes lieutenant! Move in team!" The man said.

"Bout time officer." She sighed and cocked her gun before following.

xXxXxXxXxXxX

"Your stupidity surprises me." Naraku chuckled.

"Really? You'd think you'd be used to it by now. I mean come on, you get a good idea what? Every ten years?" Inuyasha smirked when he had seemed to hit a sore spot. "Hey do you remember back in Hong Kong? You said you wouldn't be the one to attack me. What's this all about?" Inuyasha asked.

"I didn't attack you. You came here into my territory. Your invading my privacy, I could call the cops and have you arrested." Naraku explained.

"You could...but that was only if the cops weren't already hot on your trail." Inuyasha smirked once again.

"Why would they be?" Naraku asked.

"Because, they've heard every word you have ever said since i've been here." Inuyasha smiled as he dropped the wires on the ground.

"You fucking mutt!" Naraku yelled and pulled out his gun.

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

"You can try to resist

Try to hide from my kiss

But you know

Don't you know that you can't, can't fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark

You'll surrender your heart

But you know

But you know that you can't fight the moonlight

No, you can't fight it

It's gonna get to your heart" She finished with a half smile and bowed as the crowd cheered and she only wished she could see Inuyasha's face in that crowd.

xXxXxXxXxXxXxX

"That stupid kid, he opened his mouth." One of the men said.

"No this is good. We got him scared. We can surround the place right now." The lieuenant said.

"Right."

xXxXxXxXxXxXxX

"Your going to wish you had never lived." Naraku threatened.

"I don't have to wish anything. Even if I were to die here, at least I got to live for real. Cause I had an angel with me. You could kill me now, I wouldn't care, cause I got to live my life the way I should have from the start and I loved every moment of it." Inuyasha said with the smirk still placed on his face.

"Your funeral." Naraku shrugged and aimed the gun at Inuyasha before taking a few shots. Two had gotten him in the chest when the other got him in the arm. Inuyasha lied there still unmoving and what seemed to be unbreathing also. "Flee now! The cops may be here soon!" Naraku yelled to his men. They all raced around and Naraku went and found Kagura as they board her feather and took off being shot at the whole way up as the cops stood down around the building.

xXxXxXxXxXxX

"That was great, that song is beautiful." Miroku hugged Kagome.

"Thanks." Kagome said sadly as she walked to the back.

"So much for liking the attention." Sango sighed.

"She can't stop thinking about him." Miroku told his girlfriend.

"Ya...and even after she went on a couple dates with Yari and even after they hung out together!" Sango sighed once again.

"Can you blame her? She loves Inuyasha like hell and he hasn't been here in who can remember how long." Shippo sighed also, they had all met up to hear Kagome sing and to play the instruments for her music.

"Ya...she's so sad lately. I can't wait for Inuyasha to return just to see her happy again." Katsuki said.

"That mutt doesn't understand what he has, he'll realize once he loses her though." Sesshomaru put in his own opinion.

"SANGO!" They heard Kagome yell from the kitchen. Sango got up quickly and raced into the kitchen from the yell followed by the others.

"What! What is it!" Sango asked when she found Kagome with the phone in her hand as tears fell down her face.

"We need to get to the airport now." Kagome told her.

"Why?" Sango asked.

"Inuyasha's going to be there in about an hour." Kagome told her.

"What? He is!" Sango asked excitedly and grabbed Kagome by the arm as she dragged her out leaving everyone behind as they got in the car and drove off.

WITH.NARAKU.

"He ratted you out." One of the gang members stated.

"No shit!" Naraku yelled.

"What do you want done?" Kikyo asked with a roll of her eyes at his temper.

"I don't know yet." He said as he turned to look at the window and saw a small cat chasing a butterfly in the yard. "Get that cat away from there, ugh, I hate cats. Annoying little creatur...wait...yes!" Naraku smirked and nodded to Kikyo.

AN.HOUR.LATER.IN.THE.AIRPORT.

They both waited at the end of the tunnel for Inuyasha to appear and they watched as people piled into the room but didn't see Inuyasha anywhere. Finally after the room had cleared some Inuyasha had came out being pushed in a wheel chair. Kagome and Sango both looked at each other in shock.

"Oh no." Kagome said before walking in a fast pace to him. When he looked up and saw her he was surprised but hesitant, when he recognized the scent he stood up and she ran to him and he held his arms out as she jumped into his grasp.

"Ah ah ah, careful." He said when she rubbed against his arm. He was having a bit of a breathing problem which was the reason for the wheel chair because when the bullets hit the bullet proof vest he had on it sure did a hell of a job at knocking the wind out of him though.

"Sorry, oh my gosh are you ok? I missed you so much, what happend to you? Why couldn't you talk to me? You could have at least written you know! And why didn't you at least let Sango tell me you kept in touch with everyone but me! Why couldn't you let me know anything! And where di-..." She started but was cut off when Inuyasha's lips shut hers up and his tongue shot straight into her mouth. He missed her so much and it felt so good to have her in his arms and to be able to taste her once again cause she tasted so damn good and even to hear her voice, even if she wouldn't shut up at the moment it still felt good to hear her voice again.

"I missed you too." He whispered, his voice a little hoarse. She smiled and captured his lips in another kiss. It felt so good to hold her in his arms once again. Sango was standing at the side with her arms crossed while looking at the ceiling waiting for them to finish but after a few minutes passed she just cleared her throat and that didn't even get their attention. She sighed loudly and Inuyasha laughed before he pulled away from Kagome and turned to look at Sango.

"Ok ok." He chuckled.

"Bout time, it's my turn." She smiled and hugged him tightly. "Now if you ever leave again you'll have to answer to me. Got it?" Sango told him with a serious look.

"Yes Ma'am." He saluted her with a chuckle, she smirked and hit him lightly.

"Smartass." She said as she pulled away from him.

"You know it babe." He smirked.

"So why couldn't you talk to me now? You never answered me." Kagome told him with a sigh and looked up at him. 'It's about time he came back to me. I finally get to see him in front of me again...hiscute ears, cute face, hot body...wait..well...ya that works. Also those eyes.' She thought, she could stare into his eyes and get lost into them so easily. Just his stare could make her weak in the knees.

"Well I could have answered if you weren't asking fifty questions a second. Damn girl." He chuckled and then looked over at Sango. "When are we going? I'm starving." He smirked.

"Guess you haven't changed much while you were gone." She laughed and started walking off with them following behind.

"Your straying from the subject." Kagome told him with a sigh when he wouldn't answer. He looked down at her once again as they walked and when she felt his gaze she looked up at him and he watched as she gave him such a curious yet worried look. Her brown eyes carried so many emotions at once when he looked up at her and it made him feel guilty cause he knew that he had probably worried her.

"What do you want me to say? I wasn't able to talk to you. If I did they could track you down and come after you and I wasn't going to let that happen." He explained to her.

"That's all I wanted to hear." She smiled, now satisfied that he told her the truth.

"Want to go to the club?" Sango asked when she saw the confused look on Inuyasha's face.

"Uhh...sure." He told her and smiled as he wrapped his arm around Kagome's waist as they walked. He looked beside him at her and noticed the troubled look that reflected from her brown eyes. He wanted to ask what was wrong but she may have still been a little dissapointed with him since they didnt speak at all for all that time he was away.

They arrived to the club in complete silence. Sango was getting uncomfortable from all the silence but do say anything afraid to start something. They walked into the club and sat with the others, while everyone greeted Inuyasha back Kagome had taken Sango to the back room.

"What's up?" Sango asked curiously.

"What am I supposed to tell Inuyasha?" Kagome asked her nervously.

"About?" Sango asked, unsure what her friend meant.

"These 'dates' I been going on." Kagome told her as if she should know.

"Oh. He knows. I told him I was going to set you up." Sango shrugged.

"What? You could have told me!...so much stuff happend while he was gone...i'm kind of uncomfortable being around Inuyasha cause he doesn't know half of what happend." Kagome sighed as she sat in a chair.

"Well...you can tell him." Sango offered.

"No! Are you crazy? He'd be pissed at half the stuff that happend. I haven't even told you some of the stuff that's happend." She admitted.

"You haven't? Like what?" Sango asked as she walked closer.

"Hey guys what are you doing back here?" Inuyasha asked as he walked into the room.

"Oh nothing. Just talking." Kagome smiled and walked over to him. Sango sent him a narrowed look for having bad timing and he gave her a questioning look before walking out of the room with Kagome.

"Man Inuyasha, you just missed Kagome's performance. She's been having guys come in from all over lately." Miroku chuckled earning an elbow in his side. Suddenly Kagome was feeling sick not hearing anything they were saying to each other.

"So now you decide to perform after I leave?" Inuyasha asked with a smirk. When she didn't answer or seem to acknoledge him he got a little worried. "Kagome?"

"Hey Kagome you ok?" Sango asked her. Kagome raised her hand to her head when she felt a sharp pain before she sank down. Inuyasha caught her quickly before she hit the floor. "Kagome!" Sango asked now very worried.

"What the hell!" Inuyasha asked as he picked her up so he had a better grasp. "What was that about?" He asked Sango mainly.

"I don't know." Sango said honestly as she looked at Kagome who looked as if she was asleep.

"Is she sick?" Miroku asked Sango.

"I don't know! Maybe we should take her home." She told Inuyasha. He nodded before starting to walk toward the door. Sango said goodbye to Miroku before following.

"Let's take her to my place, cause I won't have a way home when she wakes up." Inuyasha told Sango and she agreed. Sango stayed for a bit at Inuyasha's house hoping she'd wake up but had to leave after a while to pick up Kohaku and Sota since they were going to be visiting. She told Inuyasha she'd pick Sota up and to tell Kagome when she awoke.

Inuyasha sat on the edge of the couch as he watched over Kagome and placed a fresh wet cloth over her forehead.

"Ugh...my head." Kagome said quietly as she slowly woke up. She opened her eyes and saw Inuyasha looking down at her.

"Are you ok?" He asked almost immediately.

"Ya...just a headache." She told him a little confused as to where she was but then realized she was in Inuyasha's living room.

"What happend?" Inuyasha asked quietly as he leaned forward and gave her a light kiss on the cheek.

"I don't know." She admitted with a sigh. He removed the cloth from her head as she slowly sat up.

"Some welcome home present." He chuckled as she stared off to the side with a confused look on her face. "So you don't know what happend?" Inuyasha asked her.

"If I knew would I be telling you I don't know!" She yelled out suddenly. Her eyes widened when she realized what she just did. "I'm sorry...I don't know where that came from." She said and lied back down again. He still looked at her with a surprised look.

"It's ok. I probably deserved it." He assured her and leaned down to her and placed a light kiss on her lips. "I'm sorry." He apologized. She just closed her eyes and pulled him down by his collar before locking her lips with his.

"Inuyasha we need to-..." She gasped when she was pulled into Inuyasha's embrace. "Inuyasha..." She began again but was once again cut off when he captured her lips into a fierce kiss. He couldn't help himself, he hadn't seen her in what seemed like forever to him. He had thought about her so much and wondered if she'd ever want to see him again. "...we have...to talk..." Kagome said between his kisses but also couldn't bring herself to pull away from him.

"We will." He assured her. She was so glad to be able to hear his voice again then she remembered something and pushed him away.

"You kept in touch with Sango and Miroku but you couldn't call me, not once!" She told him trying not to let him know she was hurt by his actions.

"I couldn't talk to you! I wasn't allowed to talk to you on this last mission or they would come after you. You weren't in the gang so I wasn't able to keep in touch with you. I didn't want them coming for you. I told you this already." He told her.

"You didn't even say goodbye." She told him not being able to help the tears that formed in her eyes. He knew he should have told her but he never was able to. He didn't want to have to say goodbye...not to her. He grabbed her arm and pulled her into a tight hug.

"I'm sorry. I didn't want to have to tell you. I didn't know if i'd be able to go if I had to say bye to you. I'm sorry Kagome. I just couldn't say goodbye cause I didn't know how long i'd be gone. I didn't know i'd be gone this long but there's not one moment I didn't think about being with you, I wanted to be able to hear your voice so bad but I couldn't." He told her holding her tighter if it was possible. "You have no idea how good it feels to be able to hold you right now." He told her in a softer voice. She couldn't help but let the tears flow from her eyes as she cried into his chest.

"I don't know what's wrong with me right now...I just keep getting these mood changes." She admitted as he rubbed her back.

"It's probably just stress." He whispered with assurance.

She hadn't seen Inuyasha in so long and she had planned to yell at him but now that he was here she couldn't stay without being near him.

"Come on, please stop crying." He told said softly into the crook of her neck.

"I'm sorry..." She started in a whisper.

"You don't have to apologize, it was my fault." He told her. She shook her head and wiped away the tears even though it was no use since she couldn't stop crying.

"I'm sorry, I had every intention...of yelling at you for leaving like that and not telling me anything and I never planned on even letting you explain or anything, I wanted to...to hate you so much for leaving me but I missed you so much that I couldn't." She explained trying not to let her voice choke from crying. "It hurt so much when I found out you had left without saying bye." Kagome told him. It hurt him so bad to hear that from her, he had never wanted to hurt her but he still managed to no matter what.

"I know...I didn't want to hurt you. You can hate me all you want, I'm the one who hurt you." He said with sadness evident in his voice. She shook her head again and finally brought her arms around him to hold him tightly.

"Don't you understand? I can't. I love you Inuyasha." She told him. He was shocked at first, he wasn't sure if she'd take him back when he had returned he only prayed she would. He leaned down to her and hesitantly kissed her lightly on the lips. "I don't want you to leave me anymore." She told him after the short kiss.

"I'll never leave you again." He told her. "I promise. I quit." He told her.

"What?" She asked him, giving him a questioning look.

"That was my last mission. I thought i'd quit if I had a reason to but I quit because I can't stand being away from you." He explained to her.

"Y-You...you quit?" She asked him. He nodded. She jumped up and brought her arms around his neck and covered his mouth with her own. He held her up, surprised at first but held her up with a tighter grip before responding to her kiss. "The last day you left..." She started but he stopped her with his own kiss knowing what she was talking about.

"I knew I had to leave." He told her kissing her once again. "I couldn't do it." He said with another kiss.

"Well your not going anywhere now." She whispered before kissing him again. He looked at her with a shocked expression before a smirk replaced it as he picked her up and walked down the hall and closed the door behind him as he walked into his room and took her to his bed without letting his lips leave hers for one second. He lied her on the bed and hovered over her not wanting to part his lips from hers. He finally pulled away both panting for air as she sat up and pulled his shirt off. "Inuyasha..." Kagome said sadly as she saw the scars on him. She felt like she was about to start crying again.

"Hey, it's ok. It's the price I paid for not being where I should have been. Don't cry Kagome. It'll heal soon." He told her as he pulled her into his embrace once again. She glided her hand over his chest all the way down to his torso where a bruise was on his side.

"Does it hurt?" She asked and placed her hand over his arm where it was bandaged.

"No, not anymore." He assured her.

"You shouldn't have gone alone." She told him, her voice very quiet as she held back her tears.

"I didn't want to drag anyone else into what was my fault." He told her.

"It was my fault we lost the suit case." Kagome told him thinking it was her fault this had happend to him.

"No it wasn't." He demanded. She jumped in surprise at his tone and looked up at him. "It wasn't your fault." He told her, his voice a little more calm.

"Inuyasha if I hadn't dropped it then you wouldn't have had to go back." Kagome sighed.

"That's not the reason they called me back." He told her. "They just wanted me to deliver them more...the only reason I came out alive and not in a hospital is because I was helping to cops find Naraku and I had a bullet proof vest on. I wouldn't have cared if I got shot without the bulletproof vest on though."

"Why would you say that?" She asked fearfully.

"Well, I got my second chance to live my life right and an angel who guided my way and I guess I just got lucky to have the vest on so I could see her again." He smirked making her smile with a slight blush upon her cheeks before she kissed him lightly.

"But if I hadn't gone with you guys to Hong Kong then none of this would have happend to you." She told him as she looked up at him.

"So you think you shouldn't have been there in the first place?" He asked her. She nodded trying harder to keep the tears back. "Do really think that would have been better?" He asked.

"Yes, look! Your hurt all over for having to go back because I was there and dropped the suit case!" She told him making her voice louder since he didn't seem to listen.

"If you hadn't have came I wouldn't have gotten the chance to know you better...or the chance to fall in love with you Kagome." Inuyasha said looking straight at her. She froze as she looked down at the bed. He leaned closer to her and pulled her toward him. "Kagome I love you and i'd go through all of it again if it was the only way to have you like I do right now." He explained to her as he held her. "I don't care what you say, i'm glad you were there. Your the one who made it so much better." He said and kissed her lightly on the lips as he brought her over him as they lied on the bed.

Kagome glided her hand over his chest once again where the scars were and leaned down and covered his lips once again with her own. She slid her hands down his arms to hold both his hands in her own. He brought both her hands above his head making her fall forward on him when she couldn't keep her wieght off him since she was using her arms to hold her up.

"What's in your pocket?" Inuyasha asked when something was pushing into him.

"Oh." Kagome said and pulled her hands away from him and sat up to reach into her pocket and pulled out her cell phone and put it on the table beside the bed. "Sorry." She apologized as he sat up.

"No problem." He said as he leaned into her and began leaving kisses along her neck and reached down to pull her shirt over her head. "We started this once before but I had stopped it, i'm not doing that again. I have you and i'm not going to be stupid about losing you anymore. This time if we stop it's your choice." He explained to her. She nodded and let him continue his kisses that sent her stomach into flips. He looked up into her eyes giving her those butterflies that she always got when she looked into his eyes feeling as though she would be lost without him. He gently pushed her down so he hovered over her as she lied back on the bed.

He slowly unbuttoned her jeans as he leaned forward and covered her mouth with his own sending his tongue into her mouth to caress her own. As soon as he unbuttoned her pants he slid them down pulling away from her to pull them off her and toss them to the side. He slid his hand from her legs up to her torso where he rested his hands for the time being so he could lean forward and taste her lips once again.

Kagome rested her hands on his arms as he glided his hands up and down her sides. She slid her hands off his arms and to his sides as she reached his pants. She brought her hands in front of him as it came her turn to unbutton his pants. He helped her pull them off not wanting to part his lips from hers. She tossed his pants to the side leaving both of them in their under clothes. He brought his hands to her sides and let his thumb rub across the rim of her panties then pulled his hands away and left her lips to look down at her.

"I need you." He whispered to her trying to hold back as best as he could for permission.

"You'll always have me." She told him kissing him on the cheek.

"This is where we left off last time." He reminded her.

"I know." She nodded.

"All the way?" He asked as he nuzzled her neck.

"Your the only..." She started but stopped when they both heard a noise.

KNOCK KNOCK

"You have to be kidding me." Inuyasha said quietly as he jumped up hurriedly to pull his pants on. He kissed Kagome once more before going to the door. She sighed as she sat up.

"Well...that moment is ruined." She said as she picked up her clothes from the floor as she started to pull them on.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"I'm coming!" Inuyasha yelled as he walked to the door. He was pissed off by the interruption and was getting ready to kill whoever was at the door. His excitement had been killed when he had to hurry and pull his pants on. He threw the door open to find Miroku and Sesshomaru standing there. "You better have a good reason for being here." He growled.

"Did we interrupt something?" Miroku asked since Inuyasha was only half dressed.

"Reason! Now!" Inuyasha told them.

"Miroku told me about Kagome's little fall." Sesshomaru told him. "Geez little brother, get some clothes on."

"Do you know what happend or something?" Inuyasha asked more seriously, ignoring his last comment.

"Isn't Kagome here?" Miroku asked.

"Ya?" Inuyasha answered.

"Let's talk outside." Sesshomaru told him.

"Ok..." Inuyasha said becoming more worried by the moment and they walked outside and he closed the door as they walked a few feet away from the house.

"We just came to tell you that since you don't know what's wrong with Kagome that you should just agree with whatever she says cause it's easy to see she's not sick so just agree with what she says until you figure it out." Miroku explained.
