Last Time…
"I'm going to sleep outside," InuYasha called, already walking away from the house they had been staying in. His body pulsated as he walked and he turned human. "Dammit." He mumbled, looking at his hands, then the star filled, moonless sky. He walked up to a tree that sat on the top of a hill and sat down at the base. He crossed his arms and sighed, looking down at his lap. "Can't I get a little time alone?"

Chapter 17: The Return of Two Men
"Don't worry. I'm not going to read your mind." She jumped down from the tree and blinked at him. "Y-you're human!" InuYasha stared at her.
'She doesn't remember me, so that means she doesn't remember how she even got her demonic powers…' InuYasha sighed and Kagome took a seat on the roots next to him.
"Y'know. I've given you all day to think. I've been thinking all day, too," She paused and looked at the moonless sky. "You say I know you, but for me, the first time I ever saw you, was that day at the hospital," He glance switched to InuYasha. "I really wish I could remember," she looked at her hands. "It's frustrating."
"I want to be alone," InuYasha said, as if he had never heard her say anything. She looked shocked, then looked away from him.
"You're impossible," She growled. InuYasha sighed as Kagome teared up. "Why have you been so angry lately? Shippo tells me that you never used to be angry all the time like this," She nearly whispered; it was quieter.
As he went back to try and remember if what she was saying was true; if he really had been angry all the time, one memory of the previous day hit him and he got a crazy idea.
He turned toward her, and she looked at him, still waiting for an answer. He quickly leaned in and pressed his lips to hers, catching her by surprise. He pulled back as quickly as he had gone in. Kagome blushed furiously, but not half as much as InuYasha. They both stood up and InuYasha was about to head back to the place they where staying, when Kagome said the one word he hadn't heard in a while.
"InuYasha, SIT!" Her words echoed in the back of his mind as his face was quickly met with an old friend; the dirt.
"What the hell was that for?!" He yelled, sitting up slightly. He saw her smile and sat up, crossing his legs and arms.
"You should come inside, it'll get cold." InuYasha grunted and looked away.
"I'm not pathetic. A little cold won't kill me." Kagome frowned, but gave up, and headed back.
She stopped half way back and sniffed the air. "A jewel shard? No, a lot of them." She sniffed the air again and looked around. She curled her nose up at the strong scent. "Is that Naraku?" She tried to sense which direction it was headed. She found out and ran as fast as she could to the destination she knew it would be going to.
"INUYASHA!!"
InuYasha's ears picked up the faint sound of Kagome screaming his name. He turned around to see her running full speed towards him. She slowed and stopped directly in front of him, panting lightly. "You have to get back to the village now!" She pressed.
"Why?" He stood up, alarmed.
"Naraku's coming for you!"
"I'll fight him!" He put a hand on the hilt of his sword. Kagome reached over and held a clump of his hair in his face. "And? I'll still kick Naraku's ass!" Kagome growled, something that surprised InuYasha, though he didn't show it. It was slightly out of character for her.
"So stubborn!" She grabbed a chunk of hair that hung over his right shoulder and began to drag him back. She pulled the door open and just about threw InuYasha into the room. He turned and looked at Kagome, who was pointing at his face now. "STAY!" She shut the door and turned on her heal., putting a hand on the hilt of her own sword. "Come out Naraku. I know you're there!"
