Inuyasha trailed faaaar behind Kagome… with the way she had been acting lately, he thought she had gone insane.

One minute she would be insanely happy, as usual… and then the next, she'd damn near kill him.

What is the matter with her?!

At the moment, she was still fuming about their earlier fight.

She wanted to sleep in, and he wanted to leave. Well, usually he woke her but she ended up calling him a “Baka!” and rolling over, and began to ignore him.

Well, being the stubborn Inu-hanyou he was, he prodded her awake. She glared at him. He poked her. She bit his finger in warning. And when he finally was able to wrestle her from bed, she began a currently four hour long silent treatment.

Granted, he was used to her being silent. But he felt sure that if he could catch fire from thoughts alone, he would have been burnt to a crisp right about now.

Shuddering, Inuyasha allowed a little more distance between the two of them.

He shifted the bag that was on his shoulder a bit.

Currently, he was feeling somewhat indignant. He cared for her, clothed her and fed her.

Granted, she did save his life...

But she was being a bitch. And not just kind of, sort of a bitch. The outright, up in his face, doing it just cause she felt like doing it kind of bitch.

Glaring at the roadside, he absently considered possession. Maybe he should arrange a houshi for her...

“Inuyasha!”

Inuyasha lifted his head, glowering at her.

“Keh.”

That was his way of acknowledging her when he was annoyed. She knew that, but she ignored it.

“Inuyasha, look!” she pointed heatedly, and he looked.

There was…

A thing?

Inuyasha cocked his head, walking up beside her.

“What?”

She frowned, grabbing both sides of his head with her tiny hands and pointed it in the direction she wanted him to face. He saw a suspiciously human-looking lump lying in the grass off the side of the road. Inuyasha sighed.

She wouldn't let him live it down if he didn't do something about it.

Grumbling angrily, Inuyasha dropped the pack he was carrying to go inspect the humanoid…thing.

Sighing, he picked up a stick and prodded it in the ribcage.

It didn't move.

“It's dead, let's go.”

Proceeding back to the bag, Inuyasha lifted it up until he saw the look on Kagome's face.

The kitten face was on full blown effect.

“All right, all right, for Kami… look, it's dying…”

Kagome corrected, “He's dying!”

Inuyasha waved his hand nonchalantly, “He's dying anyway, what's the big deal?”

Kagome sniffed and pointed, “He's in trouble!”

Inuyasha shrugged.

“Inuyasha, you're…!”

They were both cut off by a meow and a large snore.

Inuyasha grinned, staring down at the human boy who was now determined to be sleeping.

“I'm what?”

Kagome turned bright red and sniffed again. “You're a jerk! Jerk!”

And she began to storm off again. Inuyasha just cocked his head and sighed.

Didn't she get it? If the thing was really in trouble he would have smelled it.

Why didn't I just say something in the first place…?

He knew the answer to that one. As perverse as it was, he liked making Kagome angry. She was exciting when she was feisty... not that she wasn't always exciting. But there was something new that sparked inside him, something that was completely different than what he was used to in dealing with women.

It wasn't that cool, calm, collected sort of thing. Kagome's so different from her… She doesn't have that confidence… but she's so carefree, so happy… so warm…

Inuyasha shook his head to clear the thoughts from it.

It didn't make sense, but… he guessed, as always, it didn't matter.

He shouldn't try to change things that were fine the way they were.

 
 
“Oi! Kagome! Hurry up, will you? Your dinner's getting cold!” Inuyasha called out.

She didn't answer.

Inuyasha was starting to get annoyed. She was taking an unusually long fucking time to be answering nature's call. And she never missed dinner. The girl had an appetite, that was for sure. She could pack it away better than he could some days, and he wondered how that was plausible since he easily weighed a third more than she did.

But still.

“KAGOME! C'mon, hurry it up!”

Alas, no response.

Growling, Inuyasha started to stand. As embarrassing as it might be for her, he needed to check to see if she was all right. No one took that long to take a piss.

Looking down at Buyo, who was currently sleeping, he grumbled, “Uh, stay here… Buyo. I'll be right back.”

Like the thing was going anywhere, anyway.

Growling again, he sulked in the direction he last saw Kagome going in.

If someone told him thirty years ago he'd be spending his time looking for a little girl who got lost going piss in the woods, he would have laughed so hard he pissed himself.

Well, just goes to show how things change, right?

“Kagome! Where are you?” he called out in a bored tone.

“Fucking brat,” he grumbled, wondering how she dragged him into such situations.

Only her.

Once again.

“Kagome!”

No verbal response, though.

He did seem to hear some sniffling behind some bushes this time.

Furrowing a brow in query, Inuyasha made his way slowly over.

“Kagome…?”

More sniffling, and a slightly muffled, “Go away…”

It was weak, without much fire. That caught his attention right away and put him on high alert because coming from her, such a tone didn't make sense. Usually she was serious, but she sounded almost defeated this time.

“Kagome, what's wrong?” Inuyasha's curiosity was winning out. Nature's call or not, this was weird.

Leaning over the bush, he saw her crouching down and Inuyasha blinked. He smelled blood, and instantly began to worry.

When she turned her tear filled eyes toward him though, he instantly noted the healthy color to her face. Nothing out of the ordinary besides her distress struck him.

Which meant only one thing.

“I'm dying…” she cried out to him, and he widened his eyes.

“Say wha?”

She lifted up blood stained hands to him and whimpered, “I can't stop the bleeding!”

Inuyasha shuddered, “Where… are you bleeding?”

Kagome sniffed, and pointed down at her crotch.

Inuyasha simply gulped.

Oh crap.
