A/N: Two chapter update special, for all those patient readers out there, and because I told you all that I'd get this one out by last Sat.

Chapter 6: Caught

She walked slowly through the forest, an eerily silent forest. Snake like creatures flew past the trees and slowly wound around her body, caressing her skin of clay. One slid beneath her fingertips, and she petted it. Her cold dark eyes, emotionless, her face hard and pale. She could hear him, his voice, his unusually happy voice echoing through the forest. And her.

What was so special about her? That girl, her imitation. What could he see in her? The dead miko's eyes narrowed as she reached the edge of the forest and the voices became audible.

She was making smile, and laugh, she was making him happy. She could see it in the way he held her, in his eyes, he was happy. He loved her.

The jealousy enclosed her, just like her hatred filled her. He had always been hers', and she had never thought that someone would steal him from her. Whether he still loved her or not did not matter, she herself only sought a way to escape loneliness with him. Who would ever truly love a half-breed? That girl was insane to want to be with him, to let him touch her in that way. No, it had never been true love between them.

She was aware he had betrayed her again...But this time she would get her revenge. This time things would be different. Inuyasha will go to hell with her, but first she'd make him suffer. She would stab him where it would hurt the most, and take everything away from him. Take away his friends, his family, his happiness; Kagome.

She turned from the scene and patiently with graceful strides, went back into the forest where she came from.

Three jaws hung wide open in amazement, as the scene from beyond the bush played before them. Their eyes spellbound to their two comrades as they kissed and laughed in a whole new fashion. Who would have thought?

Shippo was the first to shake out of his trance, and after a second he began to growl and shake his fist in anger at the hanyou. "If he hurts Kagome...." Sango heard the growling, and her arms came down to trap Shippo as he launched for the couple laying on the grass in the middle of a clearing. She clasped his mouth shut, her eyes still wide in astonishment. They all knew that Inuyasha and Kagome loved each other, but for so this to have happened so quickly was unbelievable.

When Miroku saw Inuyasha's hand begin to slide into Kagome's shirt, he became stupefied and began to slightly drool. He watched as it went deeper into her shirt, as it began to fondle with something in there, most likely her 'bra', and that's when the world turned black.

Sango placed Hiraikotsu on her back again after having successfully knocked the hentai monk unconscious, and sighed in relief as Kagome stopped Inuyasha from going any further. "Maybe they haven't gone that far yet." But her hopes were crushed as the word mate reached her ears. She and Miroku were going to have to have a talk with those two, after she had a talk with the houshi first of course.

Kagome peeked her head out from behind a tree and glanced around the clearing ahead. No one or anything was about.

"The coast is clear..."

She took a deep breath, readied herself, and dashed out across the clearing to the old wooden well. She ran as fast as her legs would take her, until she was tackled from behind by a certain hanyou boy. She yelped as he brought her down, and sent them both rolling in the grass until Inuyasha's back collided with a trunk of a tree. Kagome lay panting against him, her heart still racing at the sudden attack. Inuyasha frowned as he narrowed his yellow eyes at her.

"And where do you think you're going?"

Why had she been so foolish as to believe that she'd get away with it this time? He always managed to catch her just before she reached the well. But damn it! It had been over a month since she had last seen her family, and she wanted to go home! Not only that, but she also had school to worry about and friends on the other side who were becoming more and more alien to her as time passed.

"Inuyasha I have to-" Inuyasha smiled as he began to tickle her sides, and before long Kagome was laughing hysterically. "Inu(gasp)yasha....St-stop, hahaha, st-stop it." She tried fruitlessly to pull his hands from her body, and then tried to wiggle out of his grasp, but Inuyasha rolled over pinning her to the ground with his body, and soon began to laugh along with her.

The leaves slowly fell from the tree above them, and pooled around their bodies in a red, yellow, and orange rainbow. He looked down at the girl beneath him, her hair fanned out on the grass, her cheeks flushed, and lips pulled back in laughter. When she couldn't breathe anymore, he stopped tickling her and kissed her lightly before reaching into her shirt to begin to unclasp the annoying bra she insisted on wearing. Kagome pulled his hands from within her shirt and crossly told him, "Not now Inuyasha, anyone can see. And I still need to go home!"

"You're not going anywhere! You're my mate and you belong here with me. " He sat up and crossed his arms, turning his head to the side stubbornly. From her place on the ground Kagome looked up at him and decided that maybe it would be best to take him along, although she had wanted to take care of something that had been bothering her for weeks now.

"Inuyasha, would you like to come with me? "

He looked at he from the corner of his eye and rose an eye brow in question. "Really? I can go?"

She smiled, as she stood dusting herself off, and grabbed his clawed hand in hers. She pulled him to his feet and began to lead him into the well.

A dark man watched the couple in a mirror from the corner of his eye, as he sat by a window, one knee drawn up to his chest. He could see the dead miko his human heart so desired in the background, her eyes cold with jealousy. As the image faded from the mirror, the pale white haired child took her leave, and the man turned back to gaze outside his castle window, an almost silent laugh coming from his lips. "Kukukuku..."
