Chapter 11

He was running as fast as he could he had to keep up with her, he just had to! Everything was dark; all that was light was her face.

'Protect her! Do not ever let her leave. She is yours as her the same.' A voice in the dark said.

"Why? What will happen if I don't? Who are you?" He asked the voice.

'Protect her!' The voice was gone; nothing was heard but the deep breathing coming from him.

Inuyasha woke up breathing deeply. He looked straight at what was in his face, or in this case who was in his face. It was no other than Kagome's sleeping figure. She was clinging on to Inuyasha's haori, with a life threatening grip; it was as if he was her life line. Though Inuyasha was doing the same except his arms were around her waist, he didn't want to let go, he thought if he let go he would lose her forever.

He leaned his head down to her neck, the same side he placed the mark and nuzzled very close to her, giving butterfly kisses to the mark and around it. She giggled when ever he kissed her, chuckling to himself he proceeded to kiss higher and higher towards her jaw, while she continued to giggle and take small breathes in between. He was kissing her chin until he brought his lips upon her soft rose petal lips, in a sweet chaste kiss. Surprisingly she was kissing him back, while she was still asleep. Kagome slowly opened her eyelids, she felt warm, safe and content. She saw Inuyasha's face right in front of her…kissing her! Surprising herself she continued to kiss back, but put a little more force into it while slowly closing her eyes again. Kagome loosened her grip on Inuyasha's haori greatly.

Inuyasha took notice of this and pulled back slowly. He opened his eyes to see a now awake and blushing Kagome. He chuckled again, then lazily leaned forward and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"Hey beauty" he whispered into her ear smiling.

"Hey…where are we?" She asked.

For the first time he looked up to see where they were, still holding on to Kagome and placing her into his lap.

He looked around and found they were in a room of a small hut. They were sitting on a small cot against the wall. The cot was on the opposite side from the door which was along bamboo mat hanging from two hooks. There was a painting on the wall of a flower, after seeing that Kagome knew where they were.

"I know where we are, we are in Lady Keade's hut" Kagome told Inuyasha.

Kagome stood up and grabbed Inuyasha's hand leading him to the other side of the door. They were greeted by three familiar faces, and one small demon. There was Sango, Miroku, Lady Keade and a small neko-youkai named Kirara sitting around the fire pit. Kirara was a small cat like youkai with two tails. She had a creamy white color fur with a couple of black stripes on her tail with a black diamond color and shape on her forehead, she also had deep red eyes.

"So had fun in there you two…all alone?" Miroku asked, however as soon as those words left his mouth his head met something hard…like a bone boomerang, effectively knocking him out in the process.

"Damn Hentai can't keep his dirty thoughts to himself!" Sango said putting her bone boomerang down, while twitching with anger.

"Ah Kagome, Inuyasha ye two have awakened, would ye two like some herbal tea?" Lady Keade asked.

The blushing couple then sat down next to Sango. Inuyasha scooted closer to Kagome because he was still not over what Sango said on there first encounter.

Keade gave both Inuyasha and Kagome there teas, while Miroku slowly regained consciousness.

"So ye two, did anything happen while ye were unconscious?" Keade spoke.

"Oh Kami, I completely forgot what just happened!" Kagome said

"Child ye do not know do you?" Lady Keade asked.

That was when Miroku finally spoke

"You two have been asleep for around 3 days! When we had first found you two, you wouldn't let go of each other. As hard as we tried we couldn't pull you guys away from each other, your grips were both way to strong. So we decided to bring you to Lady Keade's house to make sure you two were alright." He said that was when Keade decided to add

"Ai, I also have a question I must ask ye two, so Miroku and Sango I must ask ye two to leave, oh and Sango please tell Kagome's Okan-san that Kagome and Inuyasha have both awakened and are fine."

"Alright Keade, I'll see you later Kagome…don't get into any trouble you two" Sango said while waiting by the door for Miroku, along with Kirara by her side and the Hikatsue in her hand.

" And any noises coming from the forest I shall come and…scout out for those noises." Miroku slyly said to the now blushing couple.

Bash

Slap

Conk

Sango now stood over the unconscious monk, who had been beaten into the floor.

"Baka, you can't just keep your damn mouth closed." Sango yelled to the monk unconscious form.

Once Sango had dragged Miroku out of the hut by his foot with help from Kirara, Kaede chose to speak.

"Once ye two decided to wake up what happened? Also did any of ye had a dream or wake up for a few minutes then fall back into deep slumber?" She asked.

Inuyasha was the first to talk.

"When I was sleeping I had a weird dream. There was a face telling me to protect her, don't leave her and things like that." He concluded.

"Odd very odd. How 'bout ye Kagome?" Keade looked in Kagome's general direction.

"Well I awoke once feeling as if a part of me was gone, right now too. I feel as if some of my soul is missing." She said looking at the fire.

"I see." There was a pause until Kaede spoke again

"I shall ask ye two to stay close and protect the village. I must go to other villages and gather information, it shall take me only the rest of this month on horse to find out what I need and come back." Lady Keade said while standing up.

Kagome and Inuyasha stood up as well. They followed the old miko to the Stables where they kept the horses.

"I trust ye two and Sango as well as Miroku to keep this village safe." Keade said while mounting herself on the horse.

"Yes Keade please have a well trip and be careful of demons." Kagome said

"Yeah we don't want you to die just yet." Inuyasha said, while Kagome punched him in the arm, which felt like nothing to him but he still felt like bugging her.

"Owww, what was that for?" he whined while rubbing his arm.

"I see your arm is healed up if I am not mistaken?" Keade asked Kagome

"Yeah I guess it is" she replied

"Well I shall see ye two at the end of the month. Farewell Kagome, Inuyasha." Keade pulled the reins making the horse run into the sunset.

Inuyasha and Kagome started to walk back to Kagome's hut until Inuyasha remembered something.

"Oh Kagome I have to tell you something."
