Kagome: That's your version of sit.

Kikyohater92: -laughs evilly- Yes.

Ch3- That Bastard, Naraku!

Inuyasha was staring aimlessly at the hut's bare wall, trying to make out just how long it would be before Kagome woke up. It had been a good two to three hours since they had given her the first dose, and Inuyasha was dreading the next. He hated to cause Kagome any amount of pain, but he had to, knowing that the herb would help her heal faster.

What am I going to do when she wakes up? What if she will refuse to talk to me? He thought worriedly but his expression changed from soft to bored as Kaede walked in. I will not let anyone else know my thoughts he thought stubbornly and asked in a dull voice, "What are you doing now?"

Kaede glanced at him and she resumed her rummaging. "I am going to perform a service to an elder who just passed away today." Inuyasha smirked and commented, "So another grandpa bit the dust today, eh?"

Heaving a small bag over her shoulder, Kaede looked back at Inuyasha and corrected him. "Grandma," she said and walked out of the hut.

"Huh," Inuyasha thought aloud, "so the old hag ain't talkative today." Taking a small glance at Kagome, he did a double take. She had her eyes open halfway and was breathing quieter. When did she wake up! Inuyasha thought in wonder but decided to make sure she really was conscious.

Talking louder than usual he practically shouted, "Well, since Kagome isn't waking up, I should be getting some sleep. I'll call Miroku to watch her alone in this hut without any supervision while she is unconscious." Watching with a smile as Kagome frantically grabbed at his hand, Inuyasha faked surprise. "Well look at that! She's awake! Guess Miroku won't have to come in here… too bad he was really looking forward to it…"

Kagome smiled weakly and mocked, "Ha-ha, Inuyasha. You really wouldn't do that, right?" Inuyasha rolled his eyes and replied, "I'm not that evil…" Kagome tried to sit up but he pushed her right back down. "Hey!" Kagome said angrily. "What was that for; I was almost up!" Inuyasha held her down stubbornly and commanded, "You're staying in the bed, you understand? I ain't gonna let you get hurt again."

She looked pained at the memory and Inuyasha immediately regretted his words. Great, now she isn't gonna talk to you…he thought sadly and when Kagome stood up, he didn't stop her. Her eyes watering, she stared straight at Inuyasha, who returned her gaze. Sighing, Kagome asked in a small voice, "You don't blame yourself for this, do you?"

Inuyasha appeared dumbfounded. "Of course I do!" he yelled angrily, "I was the one who attacked you!" That's right Inuyasha keep reminding her that this is your fault. That will get her to forgive you. Kagome shook her head and sat down once again on the mat.

"You didn't attack me, Inuyasha. Don't you remember?" Inuyasha furrowed his eyebrows and after a moment replied slowly, "No… I don't remember much…"

Kagome looked frustrated. "Well if you don't remember then why do you blame yourself?" Her face softening, she continued, "No, Inuyasha, you didn't attack me. You had transformed and turned around to face me. I thought you were going to kill me and you charged at me but a moment later your demon side was… hugging me." Inuyasha's jaw dropped. "I was?"

"Yeah. I was terrified. You wouldn't let go. But then Sango and Miroku arrived and you grabbed me. Suddenly I realized, you weren't there to hurt me, your demon side was trying to protect me…" Kagome inhaled deeply and seemed to be thinking. "But… you didn't know your own strength and when you grabbed me, you pierced you nails deep into my back. When you started to get mad at Kilala for coming near me, your claws cut deeper and deeper until I cut in and asked your demon side to transform back."

He stared straight at Kagome, taking in the entire story she had given him, trying to figure out the meaning of it. The result hit him like a punch in the face. My demon side was protecting her yet in the midst he hurt Kagome…That means that even when my demon side is not intending to kill her, he still is threatening. Damn this screws up everything! Kagome watched as his expression changed and felt an ache in her heart. She wanted to lighten his mood. Placing a hand on his shoulder, she waited for Inuyasha to notice. As soon as Kagome put her hand on him, it grabbed his attention. Warily looking to her in confusion, Inuyasha tried to imagine what she was thinking. Her eyes were soft and her touch was gentle.

"What…?" he asked in confusion but Kagome cut him off. "Inuyasha, I don't care if your demons side still poses a threat. I don't mind the risk as long as I am near you." Kagome what are you thinking! Don't reveal too much to him! Inuyasha turned his head away to hide the embarrassed blush on her face. I have to control my soft side! He thought desperately.

"Ha! You're too naïve Kagome." She almost lost it then. Here she was, being the nicest and most understanding she could to help Inuyasha, and he was refusing her kind words. Kagome scrunched her eyebrows together and got up quickly, making Inuyasha look up to see what had happened. Walking to the door, she stopped in front of it and, back still turned, said quietly to Inuyasha, "Inuyasha, you could at least be a little nicer to me. I could've hated you and refuse to talk to you because of my wounds. But yet I understand your problem and don't blame you, no matter what. Just think about that for a moment, okay?" With that she walked out the door, leaving Inuyasha to gape at the now empty doorway.

Closing his mouth, he thought about what she had just said. It's true. I shouldn't have been too harsh. All she was trying to do was assure me that she was okay with what I had done… yet I just pushed her away and refused to accept her offer of kindness. Inuyasha stood up and kicked a wall, causing the whole hut to shake. Damn it, why am I such an asshole to her? I don't want to show my feelings, but not if it causes Kagome pain. He looked to the ground and breathed deeply. I'm sorry Kagome…

Stepping outside into the brisk evening air, he looked to the west and saw a beautiful sunset on the horizon. He felt himself fill up with the sight of this serene dusk. Suddenly he heard voices near the edge of the forest and scanned the forest line until he saw Kagome talking and hugging with everyone, and they were all immensely happy to see her well again. Sango was in tears and Miroku was beaming. Shippo, of course, was fiercely clinging to Kagome's legs like if he let go she would disappear. Kagome was just there smiling, reassuring them all of her health. But through her fake smile, she felt crummy for what she had just said to Inuyasha. But he should've been more understanding, I was just helping him and he was being so rude. Taking a glance to the hut, Kagome was surprised to see Inuyasha outside, gazing back at her. Inuyasha looked so… serene by the setting sun; the last rays framing his face and the light breeze making his hair sway lightly. Kagome blushed and was glad that the sunset was setting off a color of red or else her blush would stick out. Saying she would be back in a moment to the others, she walked back to Inuyasha.

Miroku and Sango watched her retreating back and they both knew exactly what she was going to do. Sango, lightly pushing Miroku into the village, she mumbled, "Come on let's give them some privacy!" Twisting her head back she yelled to Shippo and Kilala, "Over here you guys!" The small demons came running, eager to see what Sango had for them.

Meanwhile Kagome finally made it over to Inuyasha and gave him a big smile. He better be apologizing, she thought dangerously in her head and glanced up at him again only to see him thinking deeply. "Hello!" she said, waving a hand in front of his face, which snapped his attention back to her, "What did you come out of the hut for?" Inuyasha kept his intense gaze on her and Kagome grew nervous. What is he thinking about so much of?

"No particular reason," Inuyasha lazily said, putting up his I-don't-care exterior. Kagome sighed. That's what he came out for. Like, yeah right! He quickly stole a glance at Kagome and noticed she was looking at him, an eyebrow quirked. Dumb Inuyasha, of course she wouldn't fall for that!

Kagome kept her intense gaze on Inuyasha and slowly repeated, "No reason… huh? Inuyasha, there is always a reason." Inuyasha appeared thunderstruck. She's getting too damn smart for her own good… he thought nervously and replied, "Well then, I came out to see where you had went off to; you're still to weak to go too far ya know…" There, he thought triumphantly, doesn't sound too worried, right?

"I suppose so…" Kagome agreed absentmindedly and stared off into the pink and orange sky. Inuyasha followed her gaze and watched the sun slowly began to disappear. I wish she wasn't so… sad at my distance. I really should open up to her more but, even though I trust her completely, it's hard. Suddenly he got an idea on how to get Kagome to be friends with him again without the tough job of becoming more open towards her.

Reaching down and grabbing her waist, Inuyasha was shocked to find her tense up immensely. He decided to test how much trust she put in him and he asked quietly, "Kagome, do you trust me?" Kagome nodded her head and relaxed, smiling slightly.

"Of course, Inuyasha." She reassured him and, with confidence she wouldn't sit him, Inuyasha leapt into the air toward the God tree. Landing nimbly on the topmost branch, he stood there, Kagome's body pressed up against his chest. She turned, wincing as pain shot up her back, but the pain was ignored as soon as she laid eyes on the view before her. Gasping, she breathed, "God, its beautiful…"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and playfully teased, "Well duh, I wouldn't show you something ugly." Kagome laughed and he became more serious, "You really like it?"

She decided to tease him right back and replied, "Well duh, I wouldn't say it was beautiful for nothing." He looked down to her as she turned back to see the sunset. "Just like you," Inuyasha added in a voice too quiet to be heard by Kagome. Suddenly Inuyasha felt his demon rage up inside him and grasped his sword tightly with the hand hooked around Kagome's waist.

"What's wrong?" Kagome asked in a worried voice, and, seeing how fiercely he was gripping Tetsaiga, she realized what was happening. "Oh no," she whispered, her face paling.

No, I won't hurt Kagome again! He thought angrily and using his will for Kagome to stay unharmed, he slowly took a hold of his body once again. Still feeling slightly shook up by his near transformation, Inuyasha stood there silently for a moment while Kagome stared at him, slightly frightened by the close encounter.

But I know Inuyasha won't hurt me anymore. I trust him…she thought firmly and reached up to place her hand softly on his cheek. Breaking his gaze, he looked to her and was surprised to find her eyes filled with… trust? Wow, she is so loyal to me! He thought in wonder for a moment before breaking into a huge grin. "We really should be going. I'm pretty sure Shippo will have a heart attack if you aren't back soon."

Kagome agreed. "Besides, I think that we have had enough fun for today." Inuyasha laughed and jumped out of the tree, landing, and taking off to Kaede's hut.

"Where are they?" Sango wondered out loud and glanced over at Miroku as if he had the answer. Miroku shrugged and replied, "They'll be fine. You forget Inuyasha is there with Kagome." The fire crackled and popped, making Shippo stir in his slumber. Kaede was asleep also, her snores filling the hut.

Sango just grew even more worried. "Do you have short term memory loss or what, Miroku? Remember that Kagome is no longer safe with Inuyasha?" Miroku seemed to be surprised at these words. Sure, Inuyasha had lost control once or twice, but he could still be trusted around Kagome. Sighing, he repeated his thoughts to Sango. She frowned for a moment then seemed to brighten. "Of course, Inuyasha will never let himself transform again because her wounds are still fresh in his mind…"

Just seconds after those words left Sango's mouth, Inuyasha walked through the flap, still carrying Kagome. "Dry your tears, we are back!" he said with a smirk and Sango rolled her eyes while Kagome giggled.

"You guys are in a good mood!" Miroku said and then questioned suspiciously, "What were you guys doing out so late?" He got that perverted smile on his face and Inuyasha was tempted to knock it off his face with one good punch. Instead, Kagome noticed it and, climbing out of Inuyasha's arms and blushing profusely, smacked Miroku as hard as she could on his head. He fell over backwards as a large lump appeared on his head.

"Why must all of you women be so cruel?" he asked, twitching. Inuyasha eyed the monk and complimented Kagome by saying, "Nice shot." Kagome smiled in accomplishment and Sango gave Miroku a once over. "Wow, good one Kagome. He's twitching more than when I hit him with my Hiraikotsu." Laughing, Kagome looked to the two sleeping figures.

"Guess they dozed off, eh?" Sango nodded and added, "They passed out about ten minutes ago." Kagome, walking over to Shippo, nearly fell as she realized it hurt a lot to walk. Catching her, Inuyasha helped her walk to her sleeping bag and, pulling it out, he lent her his shoulder as she lay down. "Goodnight," he whispered, just loud enough for Kagome to hear. She smiled and said, "Back to you," before closing her eyes. Inuyasha listened as her heart rate slowed and her breathing evened out.

Standing up and walking closer to the fire, he glanced over at Miroku, who had decided to fall asleep in the place Kagome had knocked him down. He chuckled and sat by the now half awake Sango. She turned her head slowly as the half demon stared into the dying embers. There was something about fires that fascinated him. Sango quietly stated, "Naraku has been sighted close to here."

Inuyasha's head swiveled around and he asked Sango angrily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Sango laid her head back against the wall and mumbled, "You were too worried about Kagome. We'll pursue him in the morning, Inuyasha."

"Feh," Inuyasha grunted and watched as Sango fell asleep, her hand unconsciously finding its way to Miroku's. They love each other and yet they deny it. What stupid asses! Inuyasha thought and fell asleep, oblivious to his ironic statement.

Awaking in the morning, Kagome yawned and stretched. Man, I feel so much better! She thought happily and standing up and walking to the door, was overjoyed to find that she didn't feel much pain at all as she walked. Making sure everyone was still asleep; Kagome stepped outside and walked to the forest edge. Yawning, she sat down on a grassy hill overlooking the village and sleepily wondered what Mom, Sota, and Gramps were doing right now. Suddenly Kagome felt a foreboding feeling overtake her and before she could react, a tentacle slid around her mouth and another wrapped tightly against her waist.

"Well, well. What do we have here, a miko caught off guard?" a familiar cold voice sneered as Kagome turned around to find Naraku's cold red eyes piercing through her own.

Kaede let out a particularly loud snore and Inuyasha woke up and, sleepily, scanned the room. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kilala, Kaede, and Kagome… WAIT where is Kagome! Standing up quickly, he was surprised as he felt Shippo roll off him. The fox kitsune groaned and rubbed a now growing lump on his head.

"Hey what did you do that for?" Shippo's shrill voice broke through the air, waking up everyone.

"Well what were you doing laying on me?" Inuyasha retorted and Shippo replied, getting everyone's full attention now, "Since Kagome wasn't here when I woke up, I figured I would sleep by you…"

Inuyasha snarled, "By me, not on me! Make up your…" Inuyasha stopped and his eyes bulged. Grabbing Shippo by the collar he asked harshly, "What do you mean, 'Kagome wasn't here'? Where was she?"

Sango suggested, "Maybe she left for home?" Kaede nodded and added, "Ye might be getting worked up for nothing."

He let Shippo go and growled, "But I have this feeling in my gut…" Miroku's eyes widened and he said, "Me too. I had a dream about Kagome getting kidnapped by…" Miroku trailed off and ran out of the hut, everyone following behind him. Arriving at the hill Kagome was kidnapped on hours earlier, they noticed drag marks and a single tentacle lying on the ground, still twitching. Beside it, Kagome's blood was spattered everywhere.

Inuyasha dropped to his knees at the sight. "God damn Naraku! I'm gonna fucking kick your ass for this one!" he screamed, frantically wondering and praying that Kagome was alright. Punching the ground as hard as he could, Inuyasha felt the soil crack beneath them. Kaede kneeled down and inspected the blood.

"It appears that Kagome was punctured by one of Naraku's tentacles." Miroku came up to the old priestess and scanned the bloody grass. "The blood isn't too much. I'm pretty sure she is, at least, in stable condition. The half demon on the ground paid hardly any attention to the remarks passed around but he stood up when he heard 'stable condition'.

"Ya really think so?" he asked happily and then began sniffing the air tentatively, hoping to catch a hint of their trace. Finding a path he rushed down it, everyone running hard to just keep him in sight. Inuyasha barely remembered the humans behind him. His intent focus was making sure that Kagome was okay, and the others could catch up later. Rushing to a new speed, he found him self in a valley filled with low demons and, spotting Naraku in the midst of them, he started to slash through them quickly. After about 5 minutes, he was just halfway done and was still fiercely clawing every demon in his way. Suddenly a boomerang screamed very close to his head and Inuyasha whirled around to find everyone now slaying demons behind him. Sango gave him the thumbs- up and Miroku winked.

A smile crossing his features, Inuyasha resumed his slaying, determined to get to Kagome even more. Inuyasha smirked as he realized that, since Naraku was surrounded by demons, he didn't have an escape. "Perfect," he whispered and, jumping through all the demons, landed in the center of the valley, where a little area had been cleared from the demons. The demons, unaware of Inuyasha's retreat, kept on attacking the monk and demons slayer. Still crouching, Inuyasha looked up to face Naraku and grew angry when he saw an unconscious Kagome up against Naraku's chest.

"You bastard," he said as quietly as he could keep his shaking voice. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Miroku and Sango finish off the rest of the demon horde. Running up beside him, they stopped and breathed heavily.

"Well, well," Naraku's cold voice broke through the early morning, making the hairs stand up on the humans' neck. Yet Inuyasha remained as transfixed as ever on killing Naraku, the cold voice unaffecting him. Just then Naraku placed an especially sharp tentacle to Kagome's neck, causing a trickle of blood to run down her throat.

Grinning at the response he got from the half demon's face, Naraku continued and put his hand around Kagome's small waist, gently caressing her stomach. Inuyasha's blood boiled and his demon side started to emerge. The wind picked up around him and he began to jerk violently, his eyes hidden beneath his bangs.

Lifting his head up and stretching his now razor sharp claws, a long, bone chilling howl escaped his lips. It made everyone cower in fear and the hairs on their neck stand up, even on Naraku's. His head still facing the sky, turquoise blue pupils appeared in Inuyasha's crimson eyes, blazing in the morning sun.

The transformed Inuyasha dropped his head to face Naraku. Popping his knuckles in one, long sickening crack, he grinned evilly at the now slightly scared Naraku, baring his lengthened fangs. "What's the matter? Intimidated by me?" the demon's deep voice, breaking the still air, sneered.
