I hope you all enjoyed that moment of fluffiness in the last chappie. This story is about to pick up so I hope you enjoy this chapter as well! Haha, please remember to review and let me know what you people think about this story so far.

Now, on with the story!

Kagome woke from her restful sleep feeling better than you she had in a long time. It was then that she noticed that the small cot-like bed she had fallen asleep on had magically transformed into a large canopied bed, complete with silk sheets and fluffy pillows, the likes of which she had never seen before. ‘No wonder I feel so good. Anyone who spent a night in a bed like this would feel this awesome.’ Not wanting to tread anywhere that she wasn’t welcome, Kagome slipped out of bed and silently padded toward the direction he had told her the hot spring was in. When she reached the spring, she found a delightfully quaint little onsen in which she could bathe. She stripped her sleeping yukata off and glided into the spring, relishing in the warm, bubbly water. She had the odd feeling that someone was watching her, but she shrugged it off. If it were Inuyasha she would have sensed him by now. Even his aura was loud and obnoxious. She decided to continue to enjoy her bath as she saw fit before her skin got all pruney and weird looking.

Elsewhere…

He retracted his aura knowing that the little miko had felt him watching her. He knew that convincing the other elders to banish Inuyasha was a good idea. He had had a feeling that Inuyasha’s exile would lead to something even greater for him. The miko was delicious, both her body and her power. She was quite ignorant to the amount of power that coursed through her body, but he was not. She was the exact image of his former love, wretched onna. Every reincarnation looked like her in someway, but this one seemed to be the exact image. He wasn’t sure what that meant except that the power levels were nearly identical as well. The last incarnation that came in contact with Inuyasha had proved an easy target, easily swayed to believe all he had told her, but he got the feeling that those kinds of games wouldn’t work with her.

She would be a lovely little morsel to break when the time came…

With Inuyasha…

He had been waiting patiently for Kagome to awaken. The damn girl seemed to sleep like the dead. He wasn’t sure what they would do when she was conscious, but he knew that he needed to be nice to her. The funny thing was that it seemed to be easier to be nice to her than it had ever been to be nice to other people before. Usually he was scorned and looked down upon for being a hanyou and it was very difficult to be polite and kind around people that made their dislike of you plainly known. With Kagome though, it was actually very easy to act polite since she didn’t seem to dislike his heritage. She had actually seemed fascinated by the fact that he was a hanyou…almost as if she had never seen one before. That was weird since they were all over the country, thousands of them. At least there had been thousands when he had been permitted to roam the country freely. He wasn’t sure how long, exactly, he had been in exile, but if he had to guess he would say a few hundred years. He couldn’t quite remember the exact reason he was here, just that he had turned down a woman, several times, when she came at him and suddenly one of the elders had begun to demand he be exiled for the woman’s murder. Of course he hadn’t murdered her, he couldn’t even remember who she was, but that elder, damn him, had been adamant about the murder. Now, here he was, several hundred years later, still confined to a mountain top, only able to get things through stealing them from the world or making them himself.

Suddenly he heard the faint sound of footsteps alerting him to Kagome’s state of consciousness. He knew that she would probably go for the hot springs or the kitchen, by the sounds of it, he’d say the hot springs. He was about to go back to his brooding when he felt the intense sense of something sinister and evil. The aura felt vaguely familiar and he could feel a growl welling up in his throat. He sped his way toward the hot springs when the aura suddenly vanished. Not wanting to anger the miko, he turned the opposite direction and began to prepare breakfast for the two of them.

Half an hour later Kagome came through the doorway and made her way toward him to see what he was doing. When she noticed that he had a rabbit and several fish roasting over the fire, she felt her stomach growl and she realized how hungry she truly was. She looked up at Inuyasha but noticed that he was fixated on the food. She wanted to ask him if he had felt the ominous presence of evil that she had felt earlier, but she was afraid that he would laugh at her and call her stupid of something of the like. When he looked over at her and gave her a weird look she could no longer hold her tongue.

“What are you looking at!”

“Feh, nothing that concerns you, bitch.”

Inuyasha inwardly cringed at his crude choice of words. There was no way she would ever like him the way he needed if he kept being a bastard to her, and judging by her bright red face and sputtering, he hadn’t made any headway just then.

Kagome couldn’t believe that he was being such a jerk! Forget asking him of the evil presence, she hoped it kicked his ass if he never felt it. It would serve him right. The longer Kagome stewed in her thoughts, the less angry she got. The more she thought of it the more she realized that he hadn’t really been around people for a while and maybe he didn’t know how to act around her. With this in mind, she tried to start the conversation on a better note.

“Thank you Inuyasha; for letting me use your hot springs and for getting breakfast ready. I know you didn’t have to catch anything, so appreciate your courtesy.”

Inuyasha fought down a blush that threatened to over take his face. No one had ever thanked him for something, at least not since his mother had been around. He could barely remember her anymore, but he did know that she had never treated as the vermin everyone else thought him to be.

“Keh, your welcome wench. Maybe you’ll catch something for dinner so that you don’t seem so useless.”

‘Shit, that was a good thing to say to her. Why can’t I ever say what I really mean instead of saying mean things to her? I’m such an ass.’

Kagome’s face took on a new shade of red and the looked as if she were going to blow a gasket. She grabbed one of the fish off the fire and strode to the opposite side of the room to eat her food away from the grumpy hanyou. She didn’t know why he was being such a bastard but she needed time to cool off or she would irrationally use her secret weapon.

“Damn it bitch, don’t sulk in the corner like a cry baby. I was just implying that you hadn’t done anything useful since you came to this mountain.”

‘Fuck cooling off. That’s it!’

“Alright Inuyasha, I’ve tried to be nice and I’ve tried to ignore your mean comments, but it stops here.”

A flash of fear flickered in his eyes and Kagome almost laughed at it. ‘That’s right Inu, be afraid, be very afraid.’

Kagome put her hands together and began to chant in a language that Inuyasha didn’t recognize. He heard a whistling sound and turned to his left, towards the doorway, where the sounds were coming from. A glowing something or other shot through the doorway and assimilated itself around his neck. When he reached his hands up to grab the thing and inspect it, his hands made contact with something that was glassy and beaded. He looked down and realized that there was a fanged rosary around his neck.

“What the fuck is this?”

“That my dear Inu is a subjugation necklace. All I have to do is activate it and you will be forced to shut up.”

“Why the fuck did you do that you bit...”

“OSUWARI!”

Inuyasha suddenly found his face full of floor and ash as he was dragged down close to the fire. He couldn’t believe this wench had placed a god damned subduing necklace around his neck. HIS neck. No one controlled him. His youkai was screaming to be let out to teach the evil onna a lesson and he found that he couldn’t ignore it; it had been so long since he had let it out and the pull was just too strong. His eyes bled red as his demonic features manifested themselves. He raised his head and looked toward the damned bitch that had done this to one such as him.

Kagome realized that she had made a grave mistake when he raised his head and she realized that his youkai had broken free. She hadn’t imagined this happening… ‘Oh my gosh, he’s going to come after me! Run Kagome!’ Kagome tried to run towards the doorway and was forced to avoid the “Sankontessou” that was thrown her way as she ran as fast as she could. She heard the splintering of wood and screamed as she felt the floor beneath her give way and she was suddenly falling to the ground far below.

Inuyasha reigned in his youkai just in time to hear Kagome scream and the watch was the floor disappeared beneath her and she plummeted to the forest floor a long ways down. He tried to reach her in time but the damned osuwari she had screamed when he let loose his claw attack kept him immobile. He was helpless to do anything as he heard the breaking of tree branches and birds nests and then finally the tell tale thump of something heavy connecting with the ground. Several seconds later he was frantically jumping up and rushing to her aide, hoping that she would be alright and that she would forgive him for his weakness. First he had to see if she was still alive. When he got to the ground all he could see was blood and a lump covered in leaves and dirt. He rushed to her side, hoping and praying that she was still alive. He turned her over to realize that she wasn’t breathing…
