A/N: Omg, I'm FINALLY back! After months, and months, and months of waiting, I'm finally back with the 10th chapter! YAY! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!
First off, I would like to apologize for taking so long in updating. Honestly, this chapter for some reason was difficult for me to come up with. I also know I had promised to update in early May, but I couldn't. The chapter wasn't complete. Also, my family and I had hit a few problems. I hope you guys can understand and forgive. I'm simply stating my reasons for my looong hibernation.
Secondly, I would like to thank all my faithful and new reviewers, including those who have been blackmailing me and threatening me. You all deserve credit, but one reviewer deserves a shout out, because that person was always hounding me these past few months. This is a special thank you to Lone-Wolf. Thanks for letting me I REALLY needed to update...SOON.
G O L-O-N-E-W-O-L-F! YAY! (my bad attempt at cheering XD)
This chapter isn't as long as I anticipated it would be. I thought about writing the rest of it, but I felt it would too much info for this one chapter. Now that my school is officially out, I'll have a lot of free time to write. However, I'm taking exams right now. The only one I'm truly worried about is math, so no need to worry about not updating for than 2 weeks. In 1 week and half my exams are done. I'll be writing the next chapter in between my schedule. Thanks so much guys!
Well, enough chat. You guys have waited long enough. Here's the next chapter of 'Puppy Love.'
Disclaimer: Omg, not this crap again. Fine, I DO NOT own Inuyasha. But trust me, one day soon….one day soon…. MUAHAHAHA
Chapter 10- Bittersweet
"INUYASHA!"
"OH FUCK!"
Inuyasha went tumbling down towards the glossy, marble garage floor taking Kagome down with him.
XOXOXO
Kohaku's ears perked up as a scream and crash invaded his ears. Instantly his body reacted as a rush of adrenaline raced through his veins. Sitting upright he turned his attention to his sister.
"Sango, did you hear something just now?" he asked hoarsely.
Sango calmly placed the romance book, Kiss of a Highlander, by Karen Marie Moning, down on top of the lamp table beside her. Adjusting herself from the comfort of her favorite black, leather lazy-boy chair she looked at her younger brother. She nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, sounds like it's coming from the outside. You go upstairs and stay in room while I go check it out. I'm going to call Miroku from my cell phone. Don't leave unless you hear mine and Miroku's voice. Understand?"
Kohaku shook his head, "No way am I going to leave you alone with what could be a crazy person! What if something happens to you?" His voice cracked a bit as he asked.
Sango gave her brother a small, loving smile, "I'm not going to put you in danger Kohaku. Just go upstairs and don't leave your room understand? Trust me, I'll be fine, plus Miroku will be with me." She knelt by her brother and pulled him into a loving embrace.
'Don't worry Kohaku, I'll protect you.'
After letting him go, Kohaku reluctantly made his way upstairs. Turning to his side he looked down at Sango, "What exactly are you planning to do Sango?"
A smirk appeared on his sister's face, "Being on the girl's softball team comes in handy, especially because I haven't broken in my new bat yet."
Hazel eyes furrowed together in confusion until comprehension flashed across his face.
'Sango can be really scary at times.' he thought to himself.
Sango took out her cell phone and immediately began to dial Miroku's number.
XOXOX (at the same time)
Kagome whimpered as her bare back collided forcefully with cold, marble floor. The blanket she had feverishly tightened around her body fanned out beneath her. As she tried to cover herself again, her legs became entangled in the white, satin sheet.
"This is so stupid!" she hissed murderously.
Ignoring the pain that throbbed within her, she struggled trying to detangle herself from the soft sheet. She bit her lower lip to keep from yelling in pain.
'I'm going to kill Inuyasha when I get my hands on him, if I can ever get my legs out of this thing first!'
Finally achieving her goal, Kagome managed to free her legs and secure the blanket around her body. Her azure eyes searched for any sight of the dark-haired, well muscled….
'Stop that Kagome! Bad girl!'
Her eyes continued to look around the garage, but all she saw was the car Sango's dad owned with something inky spilling next to one of the tires. As she tried to stand her back pain came with a vengeance. Stumbling, she landed on her butt. Too worried about Inuyasha, she completely ignored her pain and tried again. A faint trickle of blood from her bottom lip alerted that she was biting down too hard, but it was the only way to deal with the pain.
"Inuyasha this isn't funny. I know you're here somewhere, so get out here now!" she called out. After waiting a few moments she got no response. Slowly, she began walking towards where the fallen box laid next to the car. Picking up a tiny magenta and black shirt, Kagome realized it was a present she had bought her best friend on her 9th birthday. A small smile graced her lips as bittersweet memories of her childhood replayed in her head. Sighing, she placed the small shirt back inside the box. Stepping back, her foot felt something very soft beneath it. Thinking it to be another article of clothing, her azure eyes were shocked to see she was stepping on inky, black strands of hair.
"Inuyasha!"
XOXOXOX
"Hello my dear Sango, to what do I owe this pleasure?"
"Miroku shut up and come over to my house. I need you NOW!"
Miroku's eyes widened and were soon sparkling as he chuckled seductively over the phone line.
"I have only dreamed this day would come, and now I see dreams really do come true."
Sango blushed a thousand shades of red, "What? No, not like that you lecher. Get your mind out of the gutter you pervert! I think someone is lurking around my home and I need your help, especially since I haven't heard the dogs yet either."
………..
"I'll be right there Sango. Hold on."
'click'
XOXOXOX
"Inuyasha!"
Kagome rushed over to Inuyasha's side and threw herself next to him on her knees.
Running her hand down his left cheek, she cried out to him softly.
"Inuyasha, please wake up." Slapping him gently on his cheek she realized she was getting no response. Blue eyes began to tear up. Searching frantically for anything to use, she gasped when she saw a dent on the side of the car.
Cradling his head softly in her palms, she laid him gently on her lap. Hot, salty tears streamed down her face.
"Please wake up Inuyasha. Don't leave me." she whispered to his unconscious form.
XOXOXOXO
"Isn't it beautiful Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha looked out at the river's horizon. The sun was setting, illuminating the sky with orange and pinkish hues. It was truly a romantic and beautiful sight.
"Keh."
A small laugh echoed in his ears followed by a content sigh.
Inuyasha turned to the girl beside him, "Are you happy being with me?"
Amber eyes revealed the insecurity in his heart.
Surprised, green eyes stared back at him, completely taken by his question.
Without warning Inuyasha pulled the girl into a loving embrace. He pulled back away slowly, wanting to see the face of the woman whom he grew to love.
Something about this girl in his arms made him feel like a person, not some half-breed as everyone else made him out to be: not really human, yet truly demon either.
"To answer your question Inuyasha, I'm more then happy being with you. I love you."
His heart feeling elated and insecurities vanished, his amber eyes shut as he leaned in to kiss her lips.
Blue eyes fluttered closed as she accepted her first kiss.
XOXOXOXO
"Sango, its Miroku. Let me in!"
Sango quickly got off the chair and ran towards the door. One hazel eye looked out through the door's peep-hole.
'All safety precautions must be taken.' she thought.
Verifying it was indeed Miroku; she opened the door and roughly pulled him inside. She didn't even allow him a chance to speak.
"We're using the back door. We're gonna check the backyard first, and then move out to the front yard to check the garage. Get it? Got it? Good."
She cupped Miroku's hand and led the way.
XOXOXOXO
Kagome tenderly stroked the midnight locks around her thighs.
"I'm sorry Inuyasha. If I hadn't been thinking about the past, I would have found you sooner."
'Would it have made a difference? He'd still be unconscious.'
Kagome frowned at the voice inside her head. Who was she kidding? This is what she always did; she messed up the lives of everyone she cared deeply for. The thought shook her. Did she truly care deeply for Inuyasha?
Looking down at the young man serenely laid in her lap, she couldn't help but smile a little bit as she continued stroking his hair.
"Guess this means I care a lot more about you than I thought Inuyasha." She bent over slightly and kissed him gently on his forehead. Tears fell from her eyes as her raven hair shrouded her face.
"Please come back to me Inuyasha. I don't want to lose you too." she whispered softly.
After a few moments a groan startled Kagome. Immediately her head shot up and looked back at Inuyasha. Slight movements from Inuyasha's body filled her hope.
"K…Ka…gome."
Azure eyes went wide with shock.

Yes, yes I am an evil bunny, but with lots of love for my reviewers. I didn't think chapter was exceptional, but let me know what you guys think!
