Sexychicklet17: Actually I have no idea what you're talking about. Tell me and I'll try to fix whatever I'm doing wrong! Like I said above, I want to make this perfect for everyone!!!

 

Tenshi Sukenami: Thank you so much, I really am trying to improve on my grammar. I'll try your advice. As for your question, InuYasha was too busy being worried about Kagome and pissed off at Kouga. If it was a different situation then I bet he would have noticed. Also if I were Kagome, I wouldn't want someone looking at me after almost being raped. I hope that helped!

 

Iesalee: Thanks for telling me. A friend had told me it meant I love you. I guess it still kind of fits lol.

 

 

Well I better get this chapter started lol.

 

 

Disclaimer: Now lets see, tea: check, snack: check, sanity: check…. oh wait a minute *Checks sanity* nope no sanity currently present (is it ever?), InuYasha: check!!

*Lawyer comes over and whispers in my ear* WHAT!!!!???? I DON'T OWN INUYASHA!!!!???? HOW CRULE!!!!!

 

 

 

InuYasha jumped over a fallen tree and ran faster. The others and him had split up to try and find Kagome faster. For all they knew, she could already be dead, either from the poison or another demon found her.

 

InuYasha suddenly stopped in his tracks. He sniffed the air and growled. `Sesshoumaru'. Then InuYasha's eyes widened. Along with his half-brother's scent was Kagome's. A few seconds later, Lord Sesshoumaru stepped out from behind some trees. In his arms was and unconscious Kagome.

 

InuYasha immediately unsheathed Tessaiga and went into a fighting. “What the fuck are you doing Sesshoumaru?! What did you do to Kagome”, he growled. Sesshoumaru raised a delicate eyebrow.

 

“I have done nothing to her. She attacked me. Sheath your sword and I'll give her to you”, he said coldly. InuYasha hesitated for a second then sheathed Tessaiga. He couldn't take the chance with Kagome's safety.

 

Sesshoumaru waited until the sword was back in its sheath then placed Kagome on the ground and took a few steps back. As soon as Sesshoumaru stepped back, InuYasha ran over to Kagome.

 

He checked to make sure the full demon hadn't harmed her and to his relief, he hadn't. Actually, InuYasha found no wounds at all. Not even the wound in her chest was there. She looked completely perfect.

 

Her breathing was calm and her pulse was normal but she still had the star on her forehead. As if reading his thoughts, Sesshoumaru spoke. “She is no longer full demon”, he told the hanyou.

 

InuYasha picked her up carefully, bridal style, and turned to his half-brother. “How is she healed”, he asked him. “Father's sword does have its uses”, the demon lord said. InuYasha was confused for a second but then his eyes darted to Tenseiga, which was at his hip.

 

“But I thought you hated hanyous just as much as humans”, InuYasha said. “This one is an exception”, Sesshoumaru said. “When she is well I want you to bring her to the castle. Your friends may come as well. I have questions for her and there is someone I want her to meet”, he told the hanyou then walked away.

 

“Hey what the hell does that mean”, InuYasha yelled at him but he was already gone. InuYasha looked down at Kagome then started running back to the hut.

 

InuYasha entered the hut to find everyone all sitting around the fire, worry on their faces. Shippou was the first to notice InuYasha arrive. Then he noticed what the hanyou was holding.

 

“KAGOME”, he yelled and jumped onto InuYasha's shoulder. The others looked up to see what Shippou was going on about. Sango gasped when she saw Kagome. “Is she dead”, she cried.

 

“Of course not, Kagome can't die that easily”, InuYasha said as he sat down, Kagome still in his arms. “She still has the star on her forehead. Is she still full demon”, Miroku asked.

 

InuYasha shook his head. “She's hanyou again. I'm guessing the star is a marking of her pack. I think I've seen it somewhere before but I can't remember. Do you know anything about it Sango”, he asked.

 

“No I haven't but I think your right about it being a pack mark. It kind of reminds me of Sesshoumaru's”, she said. “Speaking of the bastard, I saw him in the forest. Kagome had attacked him and he knocked her out from what I'm guessing. What the weird part is that he healed her. When I found him, he told me to bring her to the castle that used to be my old home. He said that he has some questions for her and he wants her to meet someone. It might be a trap”, InuYasha told them.

 

“I doubt this is a trap. I think we should go as soon as Kagome is well”, Miroku said. “Shows how much brains you have”, InuYasha muttered but it was loud enough for the humans to hear.

 

“Actually I agree with Miroku. Think about it InuYasha, he doesn't try to steal Tessaiga anymore and you guys aren't trying to kill each other. Why would he want to set us in a trap”, Sango said.

 

“I don't know, maybe he was bored. Who knows what goes on in his sick demented mind”, InuYasha snapped. He was going to say more but Kagome started to wake up in his arms.

 

Everyone crowded around InuYasha. Kagome moaned and opened her eyes. She looked up to see everyone, worry and concern on their faces. Kagome blinked then realized she was in InuYasha's arms.

 

“What happened”, she asked. All she remembered was Kikyou shooting InuYasha. She was trying to get her away from him then everything went black. Kagome sat straight up. “InuYasha are you ok”, she cried looking at him.

 

“I'm fine, I'm just glad your ok”, he said hugging her closely. “What happened? Where's Kikyou”, she asked, recovering from his action. She pulled away from to look at him then the others.

 

No one was answering her questions. Miroku and Sango glanced at each other and InuYasha looked somewhere else. “What happened”, she asked again. “You really don't remember Kagome”, Sango asked.

 

Kagome shook her head. “It must be like InuYasha”, Miroku said. “What like InuYasha?! Guys I want to know what happened”, Kagome demanded. InuYasha looked at her. “You turned into a full demon. When you healed me you must have forgotten about Tuzeiga. When you were trying to lead Kikyou away from me, she shot you and you changed”, he told her.

 

Kagome let his words sink in. `I turned into a full demon? I can't remember a thing'. “Where is Tuzeiga”, she asked. “Its right here”, Miroku said and grabbed it from the corner of the hut and handed it to her.

 

Kagome tied the sash around her waist. “What about Kikyou”, she asked. Silence filled the room. Finally InuYasha spoke. “She's dead”, InuYasha said. “How did she die”, she asked but she already knew the answer.

 

“You killed her when you turned into a full demon”, InuYasha said truthfully. She had to know the truth. Kagome's eyes widened and tears started to fill her eyes. She got up and ran out of the hut and into the forest.

 

InuYasha was about to go after her when Sango blocked the doorway. “Let me go”, was the only thing she said then ran after the hanyou girl. It had started to get dark and Sango hurried to find Kagome.

 

Kagome continued to run until she reached the Goshinboku. She collapsed onto her knees and let the tears fall freely. Her whole body shook from the force of her crying. She was so distracted that she didn't notice Sango sit down next to her and wrap her arms around her.

 

Sango held her friend close and let her cry, sometimes rubbing her back to try to calm her down. Soon Kagome couldn't cry anymore and they both sat there in silence. “Why did this have to happen”, she whispered.

 

“There's never a reason for things happening, they just happen. We can't control destiny”, Sango said. “But you don't understand Sango! I killed Kikyou, InuYasha's love! He'll never forgive me. He must hate me now”, Kagome said and willed the tears not to fall.

 

“That's not true Kagome. He was really scared when you turned into a full demon and when you were wounded. He ran all the way here without stopping and when you ran off and we couldn't find you, he was terrified that you were dead and he would never see you again, we all were”, Sango told her.

 

“He was just worried that he would lose his shard detector. Maybe I should just leave and never come back”, Kagome said. Sango's eyes widened in shock. “You can't leave Kagome, we need you! Besides we would miss you. What about Shippou? You can't leave him. Besides we have to go to Sesshoumaru's”, Sango said.

 

Kagome looked up at her. “Sesshoumaru? Why”, she asked. “Sesshoumaru has some questions for you and he wants you to meet someone. At least do this then if you still want to, you can leave, and we won't stop you”, Sango said.

 

Kagome thought about what she said then nodded. “Fine I'll go then I'm going home”, Kagome said. Sango nodded and they both walked back to the hut.

 

When the two walked in, InuYasha looked up to see Kagome's eyes red and puffy and her face tear staned. He want to just pull her in his arms, tell her everything, and never let go of her but one look from Sango told him no.

 

Miroku had rolled out Kagome's sleeping bag before her went to sleep. She crawled in and rolled over so that her back was to InuYasha. Sango laid down on her mat and she soon fell asleep.

 

Kagome stared at the wall. She wasn't tired and even if she was she doubted she could have fallen asleep. She wondered what Sesshoumaru would want with her and who the person he wanted her to meet was.

 

She could feel InuYasha's eyes on her and squeezed her eyes shut. `I just have to go see Sesshoumaru then I can go home and never go back.'
