Kitty; I don't own inuyasha. So don't sue. I mean, if you want a vanilla scented candle and fourteen cents i found in the couch, all you have to do is ask...

Becca;I want chocolate!

Kitty;Me too. Last one to the Halloween candy is a rotten egg...

Chapter Three

Is That A...

Kagome awoke feeling groggy. She drew her hands across her eyes. The sun was bright and the wind was whipping at the back of her neck, making it slightly red.

Why id she feel so weak.?

"Inu-yasha?" she asked hesitantly.

"You're awake," he noted softly. He tightened his grip on her thighs.

Kagome soon realized that they were moving. She had expected him to wake her, though she was happy he didn't. For some reason sjhe felf extremal weak.

"Wha..." His face was solom, almost unreadable. 'I hope he's ok...' she thought to herself, concern evident on her face. She let out the breath she would have used to speak. 'Why is he so distant?' Tears started in wet trails down her cheeks. 'After last night... I wonder...'

she thought sarcastically. More tears fell. 'Why does he want her. I heard my cousin talk about past lives and memories. Are these felling just just memories trying to make their way to the surface? NO!' she mentally scolded herself,'My feeling are too strong, etched too deep.' More tears fell.

Kagome cuddled closer to him. She was presently riding on his back and inu was leaping from branch to branch.

He took a deep breath inhaling the salty scent of tears. 'She's crying. probably thinking about last night. If only she knew how I feel, or how much it hurts to see her cry. Sango says she has feelings for me, but why would she want a hanyou. We're scum and no good for an honorable priestess like her.' He held her closer.

It was night sand they ad fought three bird yokai. They came away with only one shard, in the eye of the leader. A purified arrow gained them access to that one and the wind scare did away with tyhe other two.

Kagome was shivering in Inuyasha's arms and crys of "Hentai!" could be heard fallowed by the unmistakable sound of flesh hitting flesh in an ear splitting slap.. sango went storming off into the near by woods sending birds flying off in all directions.

Mirokyu sighed in defeat, smiling and rubbing his red cheek,"Alas, my dear Sango."

Kagome was hit with a particuarly strong shiver. it started at the small of her back and tickled its way up. Inuyasha quickly took notice and in seconds his red haori was off and around her shoulders.

"But..."

He shook his head."The cold doesn't bother me..."

A dew minuitwes had passed and it had started to warm. Inuyasha was in a tree and Kagome was readying for her rutine pimple check. she may have to sacrifice some persona;l care, but she was not going to let her pores get that dirty.

shShe dug her mirror out of her pack and sat by the fire. Sango was about three feet away glatring accross the table at Miroku.

When Miroku made to move, Sango glasired and a low growel could be hear from deep in her throat. Miroku stoppedin his tracks. He had that lecherous smirk on his face and kagome could see the slightest smile on her dear old friend's face.

'Sango," Kagome shook her head and went back to the task at hand.

Her eyes grew wide as she realized Mount Etna on her nose. It was big and red and pussy and just..."EWWWWWW, I have a ZIT!!!"

Shippou cringed and covered his ears with his little paws as best he could.

Kirara hid under the hem of Sango's kimono, with a very put-out,"Mew!"

All this happened at once as all eyes turn to see Inuyasha hit the ground.

"OW!"

"I said 'zit'," Kagome said, her voice full of confusion,"not 'sit'."

Inuyasha hit the grownd again, groweling,"Bitch." under his breath.

She hated bing called that. He is always so rude. He's always saying how slow she is, how fat she is, how stuborn she is, how, well, you get the idea.

Afrown quickly appeared on her face, "Baka!" She turned back to her mirror to look for any mmore blemishes.

Kagome's eyes grew wide as she caught sight of, "A HICKY?"

Miroku looked up from his pout and perked at the word, but his perverted grin was sapped off nhis face by Sango. "It's not my fault!" HE whined as Sango chased him around the camp with her Hirokotsu.

Shippou watched in amusement. "He Ha," he giggled, holding his feet and rocking slightly.

Kagome however was completely oblivious to all this. "WHere did this come from?" her hand went to touch the spot on her shoulder.

Inuyasha quickly got up and made his exit."I'm going for a walk,' he said quickly, wanting to be anywhere, but here.

Kagome looked on in confusion,'Is he? Blushing?'

It had been a weak with no shards and one run in with koga and his pack.

As always, kagome had to call Inuyasha down.

Noe, they were, yup, arguing.

"I have to go."

"Why?"

"I told you, she arrives today."

"Who?"

"Inuyasha, out of my way."

""no!'

"Sit...'Kagome stepped lightly ovwer his prone body and made way home.

"Mommaa? Is she here?"

Why hello to you, too," her mother said sarcastically,"CCheck your room." She finished witha pleasent smile.

Kagome made her way up the stairs and into her room. She was about to greet her when fear flashed through her. She not only hear, but saw it.

"Are they real?" Twick, Twick
