'WHAT THE…?' Inuyasha couldn't finish his thought, because Kagome immediately covered the "mark" with her hand.

'Oh crap…! Did he see it? That's gonna be awkward…. What if he gets mad…?" She thought as she spoke. "Come on Inuyasha! The others are waiting for us…." She tried to keep her words from shaking, but couldn't help the quiver in her voice on the last word.

'Does this mean… it wasn't…?' Inuyasha took his hand back and crossed his arms over his chest. 'Play it off….' He thought. 'Just pretend you didn't see it… then things won't get weird….' "Keh…. Whatever!" He said as he moved passed her and out the door.

'Phew! That was a close one.' She thought as she followed after him. As she stepped out into the evening light she looked up at Inuyasha. He looked back at her and she gasped. 'He's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.' She thought, taking in the way he looked with the setting sun behind him. How his hair glistened and his eyes sparkled.

"What are you gawking at? Let's get moving!" He said still trying to "play it off". But he couldn't stop a gasp of his own when he saw her smile and they locked gazes. 'She's so beautiful…' He thought. Then he smelled them. The tears that were hiding behind her eyes. 'Good goin' dip shit!' He thought as she sighed.

"Yes… we should. Let's go!" She said as cheerfully as she could, but she couldn't hide the sadness in her tone. 'He doesn't remember….'

'It's been two months….' Kagome thought to herself as she tailed behind the group. 'Two months since I… with…. And two months since….' Her expression was one of worry. 'This isn't good….' She thought as she looked up at Inuyasha, who was at the front of the group. 'Hiding the "mark" is easy… but it won't….' Her thoughts were interrupted by Sango calling her name.

"Kagome? Kagome?" Sango asked, trying to get her friends attention.

Kagome blinked and looked at her dearest friend and forced a smile. "Yes Sango… what is it?" 'Please don't ask me, Sango. Please….' She thought as Sango spoke.

"Is everything alright?" She asked, and Kagome's smile dropped. "You know, between you and Inuyasha?"

'There it is….' Kagome thought as she closed her eyes. 'Oh, Sango if you only knew….' "Yes, of course. Why do you ask?" She said cheerfully.

Sango's gaze drifted to the ground. "Oh, I dunno… you two just seem to have been avoiding each other for quite some time now. Miroku and I are starting to worry. Did anything happen?" She said with concern in her voice.

'Yes, Sango. Something did happen….' "No… nothing happened. We're fine. I guess he's just grumpy, it is the New Moon tomorrow night. You know how he gets…." Kagome was lying like a pro. 'Wow… even I believe me!' She thought and smiled to herself.

Sango gave her a skeptical look. "Are you sure?" She asked refusing to give up on her inquiry.

'No… I'm not… everything is falling to pieces….' "Yes, Sango… I swear… everything is fine!" Kagome assured her and smiled to seal the deal.

"Ok…." Sango said as she looked to Miroku and shook her head to signal that she didn't get anywhere.

Kagome was once again at the back of the group all alone. Her thoughts were sporadic, like she couldn't concentrate on one thing for too long. 'Inuyasha is going to hate me… he chose her… this sucks…. I could really go for some pie…. I love him too much to let….' Her thoughts were interrupted by a "swish" of air right in front of her face. She instinctively closed her eyes. When she opened them she was face to chest with a certain silver haired beauty. She looked up into his face and took a step back. "Sess… shoum… maru?" She asked a little hesitantly. 'What's he doing here?' She thought.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Asked Inuyasha in his usual annoyed voice.

Sesshoumaru smiled at her, so only she saw it, but said nothing. Then he turned to his brother and gave him a death glare. "You!" He said then charged at him. Inuyasha was too shocked to counter the attack. And Sesshoumaru grabbed him by the throat and slammed him into a nearby tree. He held Inuyasha up so his feet couldn't touch the ground.

Inuyasha's shock subsided and he started to fight back. Kicking and punching, but nothing he did made Sesshoumaru waiver. "WHAT THE HELL? LET ME GO!" He screamed, but Sesshoumaru only held on tighter.

Sesshoumaru was pissed, and Inuyasha had no clue why. "Don't you smell it, little brother?" He asked Inuyasha in his usual smooth tone.

Inuyasha's eyes were filled with confusion. "WHAT 'ER YOU TALKIN' ABOUT? SMELL WHAT?" He screamed.

Kagome and the others were standing off to the side stunned. They were all wondering why Sesshoumaru was here and also, why was he so angry?

"You don't smell it…? I could smell it from fifty miles away." Sesshoumaru was being very cryptic, even for him.

'Smell…?' Kagome asked herself, then it hit her like a ton of bricks. 'Oh NO! Sesshoumaru! NO!' Her eyes were wide and filled with worry as she mentally yelled at the beautiful demon.

Sesshoumaru glanced over at Kagome at the new scent of fear, and saw the look in her eyes. He dropped Inuyasha on his butt and turned away. "Stupid Half-Breed and your inferior sense of smell." He said smoothly and started walking off into the woods. He paused at the tree line and stated. "You should be careful brother… on your weak night." Then he disappeared into the brush.

Inuyasha being yet again dumbfounded by his brother, stared at his retreating form. When he was no longer in sight Inuyasha's mind cleared and he screamed. "SMELL WHAT!?!?!"

Kagome wiped her forehead and smiled into the vacant spot Sesshoumaru just was. 'Thank you….' She thought, then she went to see if Inuyasha was ok.

"Are you alright, Inuyasha?" Came Miroku's voice as Kagome knelt down beside him.

"Yea…." Inuyasha said rubbing his throat. "Let get moving!" He jumped to his feet and continued down the path ignoring Kagome. The others falling in behind him.

Kagome sighed and stood up. Just as she reached her full height she was hit with the worst nausea she ever had. "G-g-guys…." She whispered as she was hit with an extreme lightheadedness. "I-i-i-inu…." She stammered and then doubled over in pain. "YASHA!" She screamed.

Inuyasha, ripped from his thoughts about what his brother had said and how he had noticed a different scent around them but couldn't place what it was, turned around on a dime and saw Kagome bent over clutching her stomach eyes slammed shut in pain. He stared wide eyed at her and she lifted her head and opened her eyes. The look of terror in her eyes made him mobile again and he ran towards her. The others rushed to her as well. But before they could reach her she choked out one last terror filled scream before throwing up and passing out. As Inuyasha watched Kagome's limp body fall to the ground he felt tears come to his eyes as he screamed. "KAGOME!!!!!"
