Hey guys. Updating again, because a certain person -cough jamied1968- hasn't reviewed the latest chapter of 'Can You Help Me?' so, Im updating this fic. Enjoy.
Secret Attempts
"For the last frickin' time, I feel fine Inuyasha!!" Kagome yelled, standing up from the futon she had been sitting on.
"Kagome! Sit down, you're not well enough to-
"Shut up! OSUWARI!!!!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha did a faceplant in the ground and everyone snickered in amusement.
"Im going outside, I've been outside for the past three days! If you hadn't gone to see Totosai about Tetsuiaga, then you would know that!" Kagome yelled. Walking towards the door.
Inuyasha lifted his head up. "Dont you step out that door!"
Kagome smirked. "Im going, Im going, gone!" She yelled, running out the door. Inuyasha growled and ran out of the door after her. Everyone laughed.
"Inuyasha sure is worried about her." Shippo said. Kaede nodded. "It's not surprising. Panic attacks are very serious. And, Inuyasha feels he is to blame for Kagome's attack."
Everyone nodded. "Kaede, do you think Inuyasha will drag Kagome back here?" Miroku asked, as his hand stretched towards Sango's bottom.
Sango scowled and batted it away. "I thought you were supposed to be meditating houshi?!"
Miroku chuckled nervously. "Well ya see, I need to be in my happy place while meditating, and you just so happen to-
BWAP!
Miroku fell unconscious, courtesy of Sango.
"Stupid hentai..." She muttered under her breath along with a couple of R rated threats.
Kaede chuckled and turned to Akira. "Akira, what do you intend to do when everyone leaves to find Naraku and the shards?"
Akira shrugged. "I'll go with them. I want to avenge my village. And, if this Naraku is as bad as he sounds, I wanna do anything I can to stop him."
Kaede nodded. "Aye, do as you wish child. Tell me, do you possess abilities such as Inuyasha's?"
Akira frowned. "Not exactly. I can defend myself well, but Im not as good in battle as Inuyasha."
Sango quirked an eyebrow. "Im just wondering here, there really couldn't be that much a difference between a hanyou and a ¼ demon. Right?"
Akira smiled. "Actually, there is. A big one. Hanyous are generally stronger, unless they were a child. Also, as you can see, they usually grow to be taller. Inuyasha's taller than me."
Shippo scoffed. "Only by an inch. I can see it."
"Is that a compliment?"
"Sure."

"Kagome! Dammit, get back here!"
Kagome ran through the large flower bed, switching directions every couple of seconds. She was desperate to get Inuyasha off of her tail.
"Inuyasha! I told you I feel fine! Leave me alone!" She yelled, jumping over a fallen branch.
"No! You need to rest!"
"No I dont!" Kagome screeched.
Just then, there was a loud clap of thunder and it started raining. Hard.
"See! Now you're gonna catch a cold!" Inuyasha yelled, starting to run faster.
"Ah!" Kagome yelled, covering her head from the rain. Kagome ran until being her, she fell, and landed flat on her stomach. She was about to get up, when extra weight was pushed onto her back all of a sudden.
"Kagome, you don't need to be out here on the cold. It's not good for you." Inuyasha said, folding his arms.
"Inuyasha! Get off of me!"
"No way. Not until you agree to take it easy."
"I am taking it easy! You dont see me out there slaying youkai do you?!"
"Kagome ..." Inuyasha growled.
Kagome scowled. "Ramen?"
"Nope."
"Damn."

"A-A- ACHOO!!!" Inuyasha sneezed as Kagome kicked him towards the fire.
Kagome smiled. "You told me to take it easy, but you're the one that ends up getting sick. You're such a mess." She said, holding ramen up to his mouth.
Shippo laughed. "Kagome, you spoil him. Inuyasha can fee himself!"
Inuyasha's eyebrow twitched. Shut up twerp! She doesn't know that! He thought, as Kagome stuck more ramen in his mouth.
"Dont be silly, Shippo. Inuyasha feels too weak to move. I dont want him to strain himself either." She said, throwing another log in the fire.
Kaede shook her head. "When did I become foolish enough to let these weirdo's stay in my home?"
Miroku and Sango laughed. "Hey Inuyasha, you think Kagome will help you undress-
BWAP!
"Dont even think about finishing that sentence monk." Sango said.
Miroku laughed and passed out.
Akira shook his head. "You all are very strange." He said.
Kagome laughed. "I guess we are. Open up, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha obeyed and gladly took the ramen in. By the way, as you may have guessed, Inuyasha got a terrible cold from sitting on Kagome in the rain. His nose has dried out now. Completely irrelevant, but whatever.
Soon enough, everyone was asleep, and Inuyasha and Kagome were the only ones up.
"Kagome, you can go to bed now. You dont have to look after me all night." He said.
Kagome shook her head. "Oh, but I do. It's not like you were ever really able to take care of yourself in this condition." She said, leaning against him. For the record, they're sitting side by side.
Inuyasha scoffed. "You worry too much. Go to sleep." He said, wrapping one arm around her.
Kagome smiled. "Nuh uh. You go to sleep. You need it most."
"Im hanyou, I can go without sleep for days."
"Im miko, and Im not tired, so you go to sleep."
Inuyasha quirked an eyebrow. "What kind of sense does that make?"
Kagome shrugged. "Dunno. Just rest."
"No."
"Why?"
"Cause, I dont need it, and I aint tired."
"Yes you are. It's written all over your face. Please, if not for yourself, then for me?" Kagome said, giving him the puppy dog eyes.
"Uh..." Inuyasha said. Dammit! That look again! I invented that! And yet it works on me. Hmm...
"Eh, fine. But you have to go to sleep too."
"Done deal." Kagome said, snuggling against him and closing her eyes. Inuyasha smiled, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Kagome slowly unwrapped Inuyasha's arm from around her and quietly moved around the hut. Inuyasha mumbled something, Shippo snored, and Kaede farted.
Kagome had a disgusted look for a minute, then she went back to what she was doing. Finally, she found it in the corner of the hut. Her sword sheathe gleamed from the moonlight shining through the window.
She slipped it through the belt on her side, and slowly crept out of the door.

"Boy, step forward." Naraku said, as a cold, almost sinister, breeze swept by in Inuyasha Forest.
The boy bows. "Naraku."
Naraku smirks. "Good. Now, tell me, how much have you progressed?"
"Somewhat Naraku. This kind of thing will take time."
Naraku scowled. "Dammit! I need this done soon! With that miko still in the way, Im in jeopardy of not getting a new body! You must accomplish your mission soon!" He snarled.
The boy bit back a retort. "And it will be. For the moment, it will be difficult with the hanyou around all the time. It will take plenty of time."
Naraku picks the boy up with one of his tentacles and throws him into a nearby tree.
"AH!" The boy cries in pain.
"You will have this done in two months or less. That's all Im giving you because that's all the time I have! If it's not done in at least seven chapters from now, I will kill you."
The boy nods. "Two months, seven chapters, I got it. But, I never know when Sango'sbestfriend445 is gonna help us make things happen though."
Naraku nods. "Damn that authoress. Well, two months or I kill you and her."
The boy looks at Naraku strangely. "Um, you cant kill the authoress, she controls you."
"Oh right. Well, clean yourself up, and let's meet again some other time, shall we?" He said, in a peppy voice, before disappearing into the shadows.
The boy sighs. "I have to get a better job. Im not even paid a lot for this kind of thing."

Kagome unsheathes her katanna as she slices a snake youkai in half. She's standing in the clearing where her and Inuyasha used to practice her katanna training. So far, she had only cut trees, and the occasional demon that just seemed to pop up.
Kagome was about to sheathe her katanna again, when a regular looking samurai sword came out of nowhere and slid only 1 once centimeter past her face. It landed, indented in a large maple tree.
"Who's there?!" A voice called.
Kagome recovered from her shock and quirked an eyebrow. "A-Akira?"
Akira stepped forward so that she could see him better. His long black hair flowed carelessly behind him, and his pale blue eyes gleamed with surprise.
"Kagome? What are you doing out here at this hour?"
Kagome readied herself to answer, but then a thought came to her. "Wait, I could ask you the same thing." She said.
Akira chuckled. "I suppose you're right. I was just out taking a leak." He said.
Kagome nodded. "So, I didn't know you knew how to use a sword." She said.
Akira smiled. "Yeah, I do. I just got that new one today. Dont change the subject, why are you out here?" He asked stepping closer to retrieve his sword.
Kagome sighed. Dammit. "Well, Im actually out here to train with my katanna. Inuyasha wont let me do it anymore, and I promised him I wouldn't, but I really wanna do this. I've been practicing since the day after my panic attack. Always around this hour. Attempting to wield a katanna." She said.
Akira smiled. "Actually, you're pretty good. When I threw my sword at you, I could see you move when you cut down that snake youkai, but I couldn't see you're face."
Kagome smiled. "Think so?"
"Yup." He said, finally pulling the sword out of the tree. "Whoo, it was lodged in there pretty deep, eh?"
Kagome smiled. "I guess so. My sword wouldn't go that deep. I don't have the strength."
Akira had a mischievous glint in his eye. "Well we can fix that. Care to spar with me?"
"Oh really, I dont think I-
But Kagome didn't get another word in as Akira charged. Kagome shrieked and immediately held up her sword in defense. Obviously, I dont have too much of a choice. She thought, as she clashed swords with Akira.
"You're better than I thought Kagome!" He said, trying to bring the sword down on her.
Kagome threw her sword up and almost succeeded in knocking Akira's sword out of his hand.
Kagome smirked. "I not that easy to beat." She said, charging at him. Kagome ran and focused on him, well that is, until he suddenly disappeared.
Kagome stopped dead in her tracks. "What the hell...?"
But, she didn't finish her sentence as she felt cold steel against her neck. Kagome gasped.
"Kagome, did you forget Im a ¼ demon? You should've known better." Akira said.
Kagome stayed calm. Akira wouldn't really kill her. Would he? It was just training, after all.
"Kagome, do you know the best way to get out of a position like this?"
Kagome shook her head slowly. "No. How?" She said, ever so slowly reaching for her sword sheathe...
"Well, they would give in and say Im the best. And a master of the blade."
"Really?" Kagome said. Almost there...
"Yeah. Really." Akira said, making the hairs on the back of her neck stand up.
"I thought that they do something like this!" She said, turning around as quickly as she could, and swinging the sheathe at Akira's legs.
Akira jumped up just in time to avoid it, and he thrust his hand forward, pushing her on the ground. Kagome yelped as she landed on the ground with her sword and sheathe a good distance away from her.
Akira landed right on top of her. Kagome's face turned crimson as she automatically realized the position they were in.
"Kagome, you ought to learn a little more about the element of surprise." Akira, whispered, sending shivers(?) down her spine.
Kagome gulped. "Really. I thought it was w-well thought out."
Akira chuckled. "Right." He said. He leaned in closer and she could feel his warm breathe on her face, their noses were practically touching, and Kagome could feel something strangely hard against her leg.
Kagome sucked her breath in. "W-what are you doing?" She whispered, almost too quiet for him to hear.
Akira didn't answer as she felt him lick her cheek slightly. Kagome held her breath. He nuzzled his head into her neck and Kagome really didn't have common sense enough anymore to know what was going on.
With two or three, maybe even four kisses trailed up her neck, he raised himself up and smiled. "Absolutely nothing." He said, getting off of her and walking in the direction of the village again.
Kagome watched his retreating form disappear into the night. Akira...
Done! Hope you enjoyed! Please review, and keep a lookout for the next chapter of 'The Love Never Dies' Entitled: Touch Me, Tease Me, Just Dont Hurt Me'.
Question Of The Day: If you were Kagome, what would've been a better way to train with your katanna?
With that said, Sayonara!
