A/N: okay here's chapter ten don't you just love how I put kouga in it, I wonder if ya'll can guess who was the demon hiding in the bushes in chapter 9 hehe

Disclaimer: I do not own inuyasha

Chapter 10 Poison

"Kouga," "yea well it's about time you realized I was here dog face, you were too wrapped up kagome's wonderful scent to even know I was here. I always knew you were a

lousy half breed," "why you," inuyasha pulls out tetusaiga and points it at kouga. "No ones taking kagome away from me not as long as I'm here to stop them." As the sun went

don't down further inuyasha started to change. "That's some talk for a weakling haha," "no not yet," tetusaiga returned back to normal now that inuyasha was now a mere mortal.

"That's right I almost forgot about that tonight was the lunar month, he'll be killed if kouga fights him." Kagome wrapped her arms around inuyasha from behind. Kouga then turned

away and started to walk off, "where the hell do you think you're walking off to?" "I'm not going to waste my time killing a mere human, besides I'd rather beat you when you're at

your strongest even though it's not much of a difference." Kagome then whispered to herself "thank you kouga," "Later kagome I'll be back for you, don't let that mutt put you

into any danger while I'm gone." Inuyasha started mumbling to himself repeating what kouga had said. "Calm down inuyasha there's no sense in getting your blood pressure up over

kouga. Besides he couldn't take me away from you if he tried." Inuyasha put his sword away and managed to smile a little then went right back to being pissed off again. Kagome

looked over inuyasha's shoulder and realized he was standing really close to the edge of the miniature waterfall. Kagome then started to giggle, "What are you laughing at," "oh

nothing I just thought of a way to cool you down." Kagome let go of inuyasha when he turned around to face her, kagome then smirked and looked over where the edge of the

waterfall was. Inuyasha looked over where she was staring at then realized what she was about to do. But before he could say anything she had done pushed him off in to the lake

below. "Kagome… why the hell did you do that," "hehe to cool you off." "You better get down here right now," "or what," "or I'll come up there and throw you in myself."

Kagome shook her head no then walked off laughing. "Kagome get back here," but before inuyasha could get out of the water he saw kagome jump of the edge making a big splash

beside him. Kagome came up laughing at inuyasha, then inuyasha dunked her, when she came back up he started to laugh at the look on her face. "Oh you think its funny do you,

then take this." Kagome splashed inuyasha and then he splashed her. They played in the lake for awhile till inuyasha had tripped over a rock that was behind, pulling kagome with

him. He landed on the edge of the bay with kagome on top of him. They both started laughing then looked into one anothers eyes. Inyasha leaned up and kissed kagome on the lips

then she kissed him. When inuyasha kissed kagome the second time he gave her a passionate kiss and they stayed like that until they had to breathe. Kagome let go of inuyasha's

lips and laid her head down on his chest. "I love you inuyasha," I love you to kagome," he wrapped his arms around and held her there close to him.

Back with Sango and Miroku

"Miroku I'm getting worried about inuyasha and kagome they've been gone all after noon." "Don't worry about them sango, kagomes with inuyasha they should be fine." "But

miroku tonight's the lunar month and there not back yet." "I had forgotten about that, lets go outside to see if we can find them," "shippo you okay staying here by yourself?" "Yes,

i'm fine here and who knows they might come back here before you two get back." Sango shook her head yes and stepped outside. In the distance you could see inuyasha and

kagome walking back arm and arm soaking went. "Miroku here they come they look alright except for the fact there soaking wet." "Kagome… inuyasha…," kagome waved her

hand at sango who was trying to get there attention. "Are you guys alright, why are ya'll all wet," "We ran into kouga, but we're alright." Kagome then gave sango one of those

looks that let her know that she'll tell her the rest later. "Lets get you two inside and around the fire to dry you off." "Sounds good to me," inuyasha started to walk towards the hut

the hut but stopped when he realized kagome wasn't following. She was staring off and her eyes were different as if she was in a trance or something like that. "Kagome you

coming," "uhh oh yea I'm coming," "you okay?" "Yes I'm fine just had the stares there for a minute," she ran to catch up with inuyasha. "Kagome…," "hey shippo," he ran and jump

up in her arms. "Why are you all wet kagome," "hehe it's a long story," she looked up and smiled at inuyasha. Who was already sitting by the fire blushing at the thought of what he

and kagome had done. "So inuyasha what did kouga want," kagome sat down beside inuyasha and laid her head down on his shoulder. "What do you think he wanted miroku,"

inuyasha wrapped one arm around kagome's waist pulling her close to him. "You would think after kagome told him off he would leave her alone and go back to ayumia." "Yes well

he didn't, I guess the only way to keep him away from her is to kill him." "Inuyasha don't be like that, you know kouga could have killed you today if he hadn't walked off." "Yea I

now I just wished he'd leave you alone, you've told him already to leave you alone but he still trys to take you away from me." "I know but still there's no point in killing him."

Kagome yawned and cuddled up to inuyasha which made his face turn a bright red. Then sango yawned followed by miroku, "I don't know about you two but I'm going to go to

bed." "That sounds like a good idea," kagome got up from where she was laying and grabbed her knapsack getting in ready to sleep in. "So how much longer do we have to wait

naraku for this poison to work?" "Have patience kagura, the poison has already been working but it's slowly going threw her body, now to increase its power." Naraku touched the

glass mirror that kanna was holding with a dark black liquid that was on the tip of his finger nail. The place on the back of kagome's neck where she had gotten hit started to glow a

dark black. "Sleep well kagome because tonight you'll have nothing but sweet nightmares."

Back with kagome and the others

Kagome started tossing and turning in her sleep, the black glow died down but kagome was having horrible nightmares still. Inuyasha walked in from outside after talking to miroku,

who wanted to know why they were all wet and notice kagome tossing and turning. He walked over by her side being quiet so he wouldn't wake up sango or shippo. He started

wiping the sweat from her forehead and kinda shook her just a little to we her up. Kagome woke up in a panic and crying, but inuyasha kept her quiet and calmed her down letting

her know she was all right. "That must have been some nightmare; she's so scared she's shaking." "Kagome would you like me to sleep with you the rest of the night."

Kagome just shook her head yes because she was still crying into inyasha's chest. Inuyasha laid down beside kagome and wrapped one arm around her waist, "thank you inuyasha."

"Don't worry about just try and get you some sleep kagome. "I love it when he sleeps with me or when he wraps his strong arms around me." The rest of the night kagome still

had nightmares but they weren't too bad. Every now and then she'd wake up but she would see inuyasha and lay back down with a smile on her face. In the morning inuyasha

noticed a mark on her neck that wasn't there yesterday. He looked down at kagome she was still asleep cuddled up to him which made him blush. He kissed her on the fore head to

wake her up. "You know I'm starting to like waking up like this," kagome said with a smile. Inuyasha smiled and asked her if she slept any better after he laid down with her. "I still

had nightmares but I slept a whole lot better then I would have if you weren't there." Inuyasha didn't tell kagome about that mark on her neck he kept it to himself. He didn't want to

say anything about it till he was sure of what it was. "Kagura I have a job for you, this after noon when inuyasha and kagome are by themselves I want you to take her and bring her

to me." "Yes naraku, but what about inuyasha," "you shouldn't have to worry about him if you're fast enough." Kagura shook her head and left the room to spy on inuyasha and

kagome. "Soon inuyasha you will pay for destroying my body and leaving me looking like this." "Man why I'm I stuck with this job. When I saw inuyasha destroy naraku I thought

he was really dead but all inuyasha did was destroy his body now he wants revenge."

A/N: Yes I know it's still short but the bright side is that it's longer then my other chapters. Don't you guys just love the way I brought naraku back into the story hehe. Yea I know I hate him to but some body has to be the villain here lol
