Summary: At the beginning she was the only one who can see him. He was her temperamental, stubborn and overprotective ghost half dog demon. Not to mention possessive as well. He has fifty days left. What did it mean? Who is after them and what do they want. "I don't give two hells if I'm dead Kagome. I'll protect you and that's a damn promise," he said.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha!

"How do you think she is holding up?" Miroku asked, as Sango they looked at their friend walk out of her bedroom. The night breeze made the room feel chilly. "You have the audacity to say that? You just said that Inuyasha may have moved on! With Inuyasha not here by her side. It's killing her inside Miroku, I suggest getting your "holy" ass up from the floor and start searching for the idiot's aura. Oh Kami, once you find him, I'm going to give him the biggest beat down of his damn ghostly life he's ever gotten," Sango said enraged with the fact that a certain ghost boy wasn't by her best friend in a week.

Miroku inched away from the Taijiya. Was it possible that she was scarier than any demon? Hell yeah she was.

"What the hell are you waiting for? Search for the idiot already!" Sango shouted, her eye twitching with rage. It looked like she would blow out steam out from her ears.

Miroku nodded and got up,"Y-Yes sir- I mean yes ma'am," he was going to die if she didn't calm down.

Sango scoffed,"When the idiot gets here let me know," she said over her should as she went outside Kagome's bedroom to get a glass of water from the kitchen.

Miroku outstretched his hand out to sense the auras around. "That isn't possible, how is it that..." he looked outside the window to the Sacred Tree.

"What isn't possible?" Sango said walking into the room with a cup of water in her hand. "Um," Miroku switched his gaze to something else,"There might be a slight possibility that it would be sunny tomorrow?" Her eyes widened, they were filled with anger and sending the word "kill," to let everyone around her, to let them know to stand clear. "He is here. Where is he?" she grabbed Miroku by his shirt and shook him,"I can feel his aura now. Don't deny it, so cut the crap and tell me monk."

In hopes to get rid of her anger, he did the only alternative, which would most likely cause her to explode in fury. Miroku reached over and groped her backside. Sango tensed up and let him go. "Monk, you have two death wishes to fulfill. Once I'm through with Inuyasha," she said walking almost out the door,"I'll get you."

Miroku tensed up and followed her out. May all the holy gods protect Inuyasha and I, if we do live through this. "He's somewhere here, I just know it," Sango said walking down stairs, outside the house. "Aha," she muttered under her breath. She knew that he'll go to the only person he cared most for.

The furious Taijiya walked over to the Sacred Tree to where Kagome was laying on one of the branches. "Get your ghostly ass down here!" she shouted, noticing a red clad figure right next to the sleeping Kagome. Her shouting caused Kagome to fall out of the tree. She was startled awake from Sango's screaming.

"Kagome!" Both monk and taijiya shouted. The said girl screamed on her way down, forcing her eyes closed. She braced herself, but the impact never came. Kagome opened one eye to see herself in mid-air. She was twisted from her facing the ground to gazing into mesmerizing golden eyes. "I-Inuyasha," she whispered.

"You just can't help, but try to get yourself killed tonight could ya?" he said. From his eyes, her face was covered by her bangs, he felt her grip on his haori. He could smell the scent of salt water,"W-Why are you crying?" Inuyasha asked, leaning closer to lock eyes with her. Kagome's bottom lip quivered and she stared at him, forcing her tears not to roll down her cheeks. "I'm not crying," she retorted.

"Sure you are wench-" He began to say, when her arms went around his neck. "You don't know how long I've been waiting to hear that, you jerk. I thought you moved on to the other world. You could have ran off with that dead girl or something." Inuyasha blushed at her close contact.

"Are we being ignored?" Miroku said standing next to Sango, her face was unwritten. She must be mad about what I did. He thought, still unsure of how to approach her. He yawned at scratched his head.

That was the breaking-ice point, in which where the taijiya interrupted them.

"Where in the seven hells have you been?" Sango said, every word she used, with poison in them. Inuyasha's ears were drooping down from her tone. "Do you know how Kagome was acting ever since your ghostly butt hasn't shown up for a week. Let me tell you this buster, she hasn't been eating. She hasn't gotten enough sleep and i'm sure as hell Koga has been taking advantage, he's been hitting on her every since you left!" Sango shouted.

Inuyasha switched his gaze to the girl in his arms,"Is that true? That wolf-crap hit on you. I'll kill em'," Inuyasha said. He placed her on the floor, so she can talk.

"Well," she said, with a hue of pink across her cheeks. Kagome was playing with her fingers, then she clenched them at her sides,"If you didn't leave me he wouldn't have! Would he?!"

"Kags. Kags. Let me handle ghost-jerk here," Sango said placing a hand on the girl's shoulder, then cracking her knuckles. She walked over to Inuyasha, but he would step back.

He took the hint and mumbled an,"Oh shit."

"Damn right, mister. Maybe I should ask Miroku to give your spirit a rest," Sango said with a devilish glare.

"Sango," Kagome sighed,"Let him explain, there must be a reason to why he left. Right Inuyasha? It's getting late, maybe you guys should get some sleep. Look at Miroku," she pointed out,"He's sleeping standing up."

The taijiya groaned,"This isn't over," she said, grabbing the collar of the sleeping monk and dragging him into the house.

"Thanks for the save," Inuyasha said. Kagome crossed her arms, arching a brow,"Explain please. Before I loose my mind, like how I lost it these past days." Inuyasha let out a heavy sigh,"Alright. After the conversation we had the last time I saw you. I was getting pulled away from this world. I could see the light going my way," he began telling her.

Inuyasha picked her up bridal style and jumped onto the tree. "Then what," Kagome said, her anger dying out, her stomach filling with butterflies. "I began wondering why I was still here. If I were to go into the light, then I would not see who killed me and get revenge for what they did. I wouldn't know what was the reason I died, since my death wasn't a natural death. What if I was made to stay here until everything was clearer. I was about to go into the light, but then I heard you. Kagome, your voice brought me back."

Kagome blushed at his words,"M-me?" she stuttered, her face heating up. "Yes you," Inuyasha said pulling her close,"You told me to come back. That you needed me. Or was I just imagining your voice," he said in a whisper. "Did you really say that?" he asked. Kagome smiled,"I meant every word ghost boy." "Gods how I missed you saying that," he said inhaling her lavender floral scent, her eyes widening at his movements.

"Now, about that mangy wolf..." Inuyasha trailed on.

Red eyes watched them from afar. Hearing the laughter from the girl in the ghost's arms. "Enjoy the time you have so far. For yours is almost running out. I'll be getting what I want soon enough."
