(Chapter twenty starts)

Inuyasha stared down to the floor luckily; it was too dark in the room for Kagome to the light blush that was his face. A millions thoughts and emotion flowed through Inuyasha body and mind. His heart beat not back to normal quite yet. If he looked at Kagome, he would lose all his nerve. Then again, this wasn't the right time or place. He already knew that Sesshomaru could hear everything that was going on within the castle. He wasn't about to put on a show for him or anyone else. He would ask her later. Tonight it just didn't feel right.

Kagome: Inuyasha?

Inuyasha: I was just checking up on you. I don't want you getting sick out here.

Kagome gave the Inuyasha a confused look, she could halfway tell that he was lying but it was something in his face. Besides that she could have been dreaming but it had felt that he had touched her face with his claws. `Baka Kagome. Inuyasha never touches you when your asleep. That felt to good to be true' she thought to herself.

Inuyasha: Is he okay?

Kagome: Yeah he's fine. He'll be up and running in no time.

Inuyasha: Not when I'm done with him. (Cracks knuckles)

Kagome: Inuyasha you are not allowed to beat on Shippo.

Inuyasha: He almost got himself and the rest of us killed out there. He needs to be knock upside his head a few dozen time.

Kagome: If it wasn't for him running away you would have never made up with Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha: If it wasn't for him we could have a dozen or so shards.

Kagome: You know I'm right Inuyasha you're just avoiding the truth. Besides, I haven't sensed any shards in weeks. It wasn't going nowhere Inuyasha.

Inuyasha: He still should be punish.

Kagome: Then you will punish.

Inuyasha: ME!

Kagome: You're the one who started this in the first place. You just had to fling him all across Japan. He would have never met Rin if it wasn't for you.

Inuyasha: …. ….. ….. …..

Kagome: (stick tongue) See you have nothing to say.

Inuyasha: (pointing his finger at her) You're the one who left me to watch the little scamp. You know he always bugs me when you not around. How the heck was I supposed to know that he flew way over there. Besides, you're the one who said that it wouldn't work out with him and Rin.

Kagome: Well you said it first and besides Sesshomaru said he would kill him. I was worried about his life.

Inuyasha: I was worry about his too! I already know you kill me if he gets killed.

Kagome: So you admit that this was mostly your fault?

Inuyasha: No! It's Sesshomaru!

Kagome: How so?

Sesshomaru: Yes how so Inuyasha?

The two were so heavily in their argument they had yet to notice that Sesshomaru had been standing in the doorway for a good five minutes. Sesshomaru was trying to give them there privacy thinking that Inuyasha would want to ask the miko to be his mate. Oh no the stupid hanyou starts fighting with the girl. Why was he so stubborn? All he wanted was to stay by Rin's side till she woke up.

Inuyasha: How long have you been here?

Sesshomaru: I could ask you the same thing if you weren't in such a hissy fit.

Kagome: Sorry Sesshomaru-sama are we too loud.

Sesshomaru: (snort) You been loud since you got here. I don't anyone will get any rest with you two around.

Inuyasha: Well at least Koga's gone.

Kagome: KOGA LEFT?

Sesshomaru: (Sighs) Yes he has gone back to his tribe. We had a very interesting conversation would you agree Inuyasha? The three of us.

Kagome: (Eyes narrowing) Inuyasha, can to share?

Inuyasha: Sesshomaru! (Growls) You ass…

Sesshomaru: (Smirk) I'll give you your piracy Inuyasha don't worry. (Walks out of the room)

Inuyasha: Damn you!

Kagome: Inuyasha. Tell me what's going on now!

Inuyasha: (blushing) It doesn't matter. It was something stupid.

Kagome: It wasn't about me right?

Inuyasha: Er… no?

Kagome: Now I know your lying. Tell me or I say it!

Inuyasha: Fine but you can't get mad at me. I didn't start it.

Kagome: You told Koga to leave or you'll kill him and Sesshomaru agree to help you! That's it isn't it?

Inuyasha: No, for once I didn't touch that wimpy wolf. He left on his own.

Kagome: Then what did you talk about?

Inuyasha: Male stuff.

Kagome: Okay that's it! Si…

Inuyasha: (covering her mouth with his hand) Okay, Okay. I'll tell you just don't sit me please. (Uncovering her mouth)

Kagome: Talk puppy.

Inuyasha: I'm not a puppy.

Kagome: Inuyasha.

Inuyasha: (Sighing) Koga doesn't want you to be his woman anymore. He's um giving up on you. Unless me and Sesshomaru die or something. Then he has to protect you.

Kagome: Well that's nice. See that wasn't so hard to tell me. I'm not even mad. Even if I don't agree to it.

Inuyasha: Yeah. `Good not I don't have to tell her the rest.'

Kagome: but there, more to it isn't it? Or else Sesshomaru wouldn't have being involved.

Inuyasha: `damn' Look I told you most of it. Just be happy with it.

Kagome: I want all of it.

Inuyasha: But

Kagome: No buts.

Inuyasha shifted his feet and then sat down on the ground besides Kagome. It would be better on his ribs and back if he was closer to the ground when she sat him to hell. He could try to lie but there was on a ten percent chance of her believing it. Besides, she could always get the truth out of Koga or even Sesshomaru. He cleared his throat this was going to be some hard stuff to tell her. The hell with it, he rather Kagome be mad at him and sit him to hell than to have his heart broken again. If he told her she would either laugh at him or slap him then sit him to hell. It wasn't worthy it. As he got up with his arms cross.

Kagome: well Inuyasha.

Inuyasha: I can't tell you.

Kagome: Why not?

Inuyasha: Because.

Kagome: Because what?

Inuyasha: Stop it Kagome your being difficult.

Kagome: And your being stubborn as always.

Inuyasha: Keh, forget this I'm going back to my room.

Kagome: No you don't you are going to sit down and tell me.

[Crash]

Kagome: Sorry. Wait no I am not sorry. Your being a jerk.

Inuyasha: (mumble)

Kagome: Jerk.

Inuyasha: (Pops back up after a good minute) Witch! You can't make me tell you.

Kagome: Then sit!

[Crash]

Kagome: tell me!

Inuyasha: (gets up slower) Damnit Kagome. You don't want to know. I don't want you to hate me.

Kagome: There nothing that you can say that can make me hate you.

Inuyasha: I still won't tell you.

Kagome: Tell me

Inuyasha: no.

Kagome: Sit. You making me mad by not telling me!

[Crash]

Inuyasha: (Mumbles)

Kagome: You are going to tell me!

Inuyasha: (Hops up) Damnit Kagome I Love You! (Softy) I been in love with you.

Before Kagome could even reply or even comprehend, what the hanyou had just said. He took off down the halls. When it did hit her, she couldn't control her pounding heart or the deep blush that when all the way to her toes. Inuyasha in love with her? When did this happen? It not like she didn't love him too but she hadn't expected him to blurt it out like that. What the heck was she doing thinking when she should go after the only guy she could ever love.

[Sesshomaru]

If he was anything less than a demon, he would be banging his head against the walls. Why does everything in his life always have to be so difficult? Well that was the last time he would ever attempt at any matchmaking. His half-brother was just too stubborn and a little selfish. He could hear the young miko walking up and down the castle searching for her lover and friend. He sighed once again, as he got up from his seat. It wasn't like it was HIS castle and anyone had to obey HIS rules. Oh no, they would all just do whatever the hell they wanted whenever they wanted.

The good thing was Rin was now in a cheerful mood and sleeping peacefully despite all the yelling done by Inuyasha and Kagome. She even had a small smile on her face as she whispered Shippo's name slightly. He couldn't help but smile at the pure innocence of it all. It would seem that Rin would get what she wanted and that was to be friends with the younger kitsune. Though there was bigger fish to fry.

[Inuyasha]

He was way pass Sesshomaru's castle he wasn't going to stay there. He was to afraid to hear Kagome reply. By the shock look on her face, he knew he shouldn't have said anything. He was pissed off mainly at himself, Kikyo, Kagome, but most of all Sesshomaru for bringing it up. He couldn't handle the rejection again. He didn't want to hear, "I love you Inuyasha but you be better if you were human." Or worst, "Sorry Inuyasha I only see you as a friend." Of course they were even more things she could say depending on how you looked at it. However, she wouldn't say anything to mean. Kagome really wasn't a mean person even when you got on her last nerves. Though he couldn't face any rejection from her now.

He soon found himself near the bone eater well. He was totally out of breath by now as he hopped near a tree. A million thought crossed his head as his eye kept looking at that well. Which kept making him think of his Kagome.

[Sesshomaru's Castle]

Kagome still laid awake with Shippo curled up near her. She couldn't believe she was in love with such a jerk. Inuyasha didn't even give her time to reply back. She could wait to she saw his face again. Though she was so worry about him. Why was he so stupid and selfish? Didn't he know that it was still snowing and he could easily die out there! Kagome was all in all peeved and she vow that she would sit that stubborn dog twelve feet into the ground.

She knew that her hanyou had left the castle Sesshomaru even told her so. Though he said he would send someone in the morning to bring him back. Only because she kept calling out his name throughout the hall crying. That way he could be sure that his younger brother wouldn't kill the poor demon. With that, he order the young miko to go to bed and not to worry about the selfish hanyou. Finally after watching her little Shippo lazily she finally went back to sleep.

Sango finally opened her eyes she could tell that it was the middle of the night. Funny how hunting after two small children could make a person sleep so long. Never mind the fact that she was in a castle full of demons. Though she could safely say that with all her friends around nothing could go to wrong right. She replayed the last four days in her head and she was more than happy that they could finally relax for a while. She let out a light yawn and rolled over on her side and feel back to sleep.

Miroku was silently chuckling he had been up for hours though he was feeling sorry for Kagome. Inuyasha was such an idiot though he had a feeling everything would work out tomorrow. Secondly, he finally discover that his room was right next to his beloved Sango. Not that he could spy on her since the wall were too thick to poke holes into. Though he to admit maybe he should tell Sango how he felt. He shook his head Sango deserved better than a hentai monk like him.

Besides, they had so many other important things to do like defeating Naraku and his horde of demons. Sango wasn't ready to settled down quit yet because he was in no mood in getting bashed into the ground. Not like, he was afraid of rejection. After asking x-amount of females to bear your child and getting equal amount of refusals one have gotten used to it. Though he could help but wonder what Sango was doing right now. Though most likely she was asleep which he should be doing since there was no telling if they were to head out in the morning. Sure enough, he too feel asleep with thought of a bathing Sango floated around his mind.
