A Hanyou's Love: Chapter 1

The campfire glowed. The light of the moon reflected on the small camp. InuYasha, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku were all sitting around camp, silent. Shippou was at Kaede's hut and Kirara had gone with him. InuYasha had chased him around camp a few days ago causing him to fall and break his arm. Needless to say, Kagome 'osuwari'-ed him a few time for that one.

InuYasha suddenly bolted upright. He had been sitting in a tree, watching over camp, as usual. He had caught a familiar scent. One that was much like Kagome's but not quite as sweet or alluring as her's.

Kagome's scent had been especially alluring lately for some reason and InuYasha's entire attitude had changed because of it. He had refused to leave her side and had been sniffing her all day. All week actually. It was starting to make her wonder...

"I'll be back." and with that the hanyou was gone.

"I wonder what that was all about..." Sango found herself thinking out loud.

"Only one thing could make him act like that." Miroku gave Kagome a dark look. "Or should I say only one person..."

"He'll be back, like always. He won't be able to look me in the face and I'll get mad at him." She gave the two of them a weak smile. "It seems almost routine now..."

"Baka hanyou." the taijiya grabbed her sleeping bag from her bag and laid it out. "You shouldn't put up with that, but you do anyway. And I know why."

Sango turned around to face Kagome, her hands on her hips. "You love him. Admit it Kagome. I can see the pain in your eyes everytime he does this. Miroku and I are not quite as stupid as InuYasha, so please give us both a little more credit then that."

"I- I don't know what your talking about..." She crawled into her already laid out sleeping bag and rolled over.

She muttered to herself. "Even thought I do love him." She got comfortable and tried to sleep. But sleep eluded her.

It eluded her companions as well. InuYasha had been gone for quite some time and the three of them began to worry. Sick to death of waiting, Kagome got up and walked into the forest. Sango and Miroku just watched her as she walked off.

"Should we?" came Miroku's voice in the dark.

"No. Not this time." She rolled over and tried to get some sleep.

Kagome began to walk deeper and deeper into the forest where she had seen InuYasha go. She grew angry with herself for doing this but she had to know what they were talking about....

'I wish he wouldn't have gone after Kikyo just this once.' Tears began to form in the corners of her eyes as she thought these words. 'But he loves her so it can't be helped. I just wish he felt that way for me... Okay, you did NOT just think that. Get a hold of yourself girl!' She hit herself in the head.

"Kikyo! I refuse to just sit back and let you do this!" It was InuYasha. The sudden break in silence made Kagome jump.

"And what will you do to stop me? You foolish little man, you can't." Kikyo's voice was dark and angry. Her cold stare was full of hate. But a not a hate for the hanyou infront of her, a hate for the person they were talking about.

Kagome crept up behind a tree near InuYasha so she could see and hear the conversation.

'What is he trying to stop her from doing?' She asked herself and she got her answer almost instantly.

"I will not let you hurt Kagome! Damn it, Kikyo. I loved you. But not any longer. Killing Kagome won't change that!" he grew angry and punched the tree he had Kikyo pinned to. It left a large dint in the tree about the size of InuYasha's fist.

"Won't it? She is the object of your affection now, isn't she?" Kagome gasped as InuYasha turned his face away from Kikyo and in the direction of Kagome.

'There's no way he...Is there?' Kagome found herself thinking.
