Chapter 3: Memories

Kagome and Inuyasha had been walking for a while through the woods before the miko suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" the hanyou asked, seeing a frown on Kagome's face.

"I...I thought I sensed a sacred jewel shard, but..." She shook her head. "Oh, never mind. I guess it was nothing." She smiled and kept walking, pulling the confused Inuyasha along by their connected hands.

What was that? I am almost positive I felt the presence of the sacred jewel...Kagome thought as they continued to walk. She could see an opening in the trees up ahead as they rounded a corner in the path.

"Oh, damn it," Inuyasha muttered, releasing Kagome's hand and stepping in front of her just as they reached the field beyond the forest.

"What is it?" the miko asked, but then she felt the sacred jewel again, and knew exactly what was coming. Or, rather, who was coming. She sighed heavily, waiting patiently for what she knew was about to happen.

"Hey, Kagome!" said a cheery voice that had suddenly appeard beside her. Koga.

Before Kagome could answer, Inuyasha had punched the wolf demon in the face, causing Koga to jump backwards. "Hey, knock it out, dog. I'm not here to fight with you." Inuyasha looked puzzled and Kagome relieved until Koga spoke again. "I'm here to be with my girl, Kagome."

In response, Inuyasha dove at the demon, and they began to chase each other around the field. Kagome sighed again and didn't notice when Miroku, Shippo, and Sango flew in on Kilala and landed about a hundred feet away, watching the battle between the two demons with something less than interest.

Kagome, tiring of the useless fighting between the rivals, stepped into the field. "Sit!" she shouted, knowing it was the only way to get Inuyasha to stop. She then ran out to where the hanyou was lying, face down, on the grass, struggling to get up.

"What the hell-" he started, but Kagome cut him off.

"Inuyasha, just let me talk to Koga, okay?" she asked.

The hanyou sat up and growled at the wolf demon, but otherwise didn't do anything to stop her.

Kagome smiled a little and turned back to Koga. "What are you doing here, Koga?" she asked politely. "Besides to see me?"

The grin that had been plastered onto Koga's face disappeared, and the wolf demon crossed his arms, scowling. "Naraku attacked my tribe," he said plainly.

"He..did what?" asked Miroku, who, along with Shippo, Sango, and Kilala, had walked up to the others and joined the conversation. "Why?"

Koga shrugged. "Who knows? The bastard didn't hurt anyone, but I wasn't there to defend my comrades..." He stared at the ground for a moment before looking over at Inuyasha. "Have you guys ran into Naraku lately?"

"About a week ago," the hanyou answered, "we fought with him up north. But he didn't seem to be up to anything unusual."

"Maybe he was just after your shards again, Koga," Sango suggested.

The wolf glanced at Sango and then turned his attention back to Kagome, walking over to her. "I'm just glad that you're safe, precious Kagome," he said softly, grabbing her hand. "If anything had happened to you, I-"

"No one cares, mangy wolf!" Inuyasha shouted, slapping his arm away from Kagome and stepping in front of her again.

Kagome, sighing again, stepped around a surprised Inuyasha. "Koga, if Naraku attacks you again, could you come and find us? We're heading back to Kaede's village right now, so you could come there. We'll tell you if he is acting strange the next time we run into him, okay?"

Koga smiled and looked into Kagome's eyes. "Whatever you say, my dear Kagome," he answered. "I'll be back to see you really soon!" And then he ran away.

Everyone stood still for a moment before Shippo spoke. "Well, that was fast," he said. "Usually he at least stays longer and attempts to take Kagome away!"

Kagome shook her head. When will he give up? she thought, turning to Inuyasha. But Inuyasha wasn't looking at her. Actually, he was making a point to not look at the girl. "Inuyasha, what's wrong?" the miko asked, knowing very well what was bugging the hanyou.

"Nothing, stupid," he said, staring off at some point in the distance.

Miroku, Sango, and Shippo knew that a 'sit' was coming, so they walked away a little, trying to get away from the fight that was sure to come. All of them was surprised when, instead, Kagome wrapped her arms around Inuyasha, who was also taken completely by surprise.

"Inuyasha, you know I don't have any...feelings...for Koga, right?" she asked, burying her face in his kimono.

What...she's...hugging me? Inuyasha thought, resisting the urge to hug the girl back. "Keh. How would I know that, with the way you flirt with him all the time?" He flinched a little, thinking she was about to get angry.

Instead, Kagome hugged the hanyou tighter. "I'm tired of fighting with you about this," she whispered to him. "I don't love Koga, and I never will. I'm sorry I said...s-i-t...to you. I just knew that it was the only way to get you to stop fighting with him."

Inuyasha gave in, squeezing the girl in his strong arms. "It's okay," he replied softly, pressing his cheek against her head. "I won't fight with him anymore if it bugs you that much."

Kagome smiled but knew that this last statement wouldn't last very long. The next time we see Koga, they'll be back to fighting again...

The couple stood like that for a few moments, until they click of a camera and sprung apart. Standing several feet away was Miroku, taking a look at the picture he had just taken with the small silver box.

"Hey! H-how did you get my camera?" she shouted, running at the monk.

Inuyasha beat her to him, and proceded to hit Miroku on his head. "You stupid pervert, give Kagome back her camera." The monk smiled despite the bruise that was already starting to form on his head, and reluctantly handed the camera over to the miko who was now also standing in front of him.

Kagome's face was bright red as she grabbed the camera and stuffed it in her bag, which she had dropped near the edge of the field where they were all standing now. I left my bag here...so that's how he got the camera...

"I'm sorry for that, but you two make a really cute couple," the monk said, smirking sarcastically at the hanyou. Inuyasha worked off his embarassment and anger by chasing Miroku around the field while Shippo, Sango, and Kagome watched, laughing.

"Stupid boys," Sango said, winking at her friend.

Kagome smiled as she watched her beloved hanyou running around the field. She really was sick of fighting with him...Maybe we can finally stop fighting all the time...but I don't mind him arguing with Miroku...

And then Kagome pulled out her camera and took a few pictures of the boys running around the field, knowing that, at some point, she wouldn't be able to come back to the Feudal Era anymore, and she would miss days like this. However annoying they seemed when they were arguing or fighting, Kagome loved everything about her friends. And that was the reason she had originally brought the camera back in time with her.

For memories.

I really don't have anything to write down here. Except that I'm not sure if I'll have the next chapter up tomorrow...I have a lot of stuff going on. Friday, hopefully? Probably.

Buhbye!!
