~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“So, InuYasha, you mind telling us where are we headed now?” Asked Miroku.

 

After an hour of walking they had finally come across a small village. Miroku didn't even need to `exorcise' anything. While approaching the village the group helped a man who had broken his leg because he had slipped on the mud and fell down a small cliff. He turned out to be the chief and as gratitude he offered them a place to stay.

 

They now sat in comfortable cushions and were enjoying a warm meal. For once during the two last weeks InuYasha joined them. And though his expression was still sorrowful, it was better than the lost uncaring look he used to have.

 

“Keh! Ain't that obvious, monk? We're tracking the bastard down, so that I can dig my claws in his filthy gut!” The hanyou put down, none too carefully, his chop sticks and the rice bowl and dug the afore mentioned claws in the wooden floor with a growl.

 

“InuYasha, please calm down.” Kagome muttered, moving closer to him and putting her hands on both of his shoulders. He relaxed a bit but the rumble in his throat didn't subside.

 

“I gathered as much, my friend.” Miroku sighed. “But do you know exactly where he is? Any direction?”

 

“We're going somewhere, aren't we? I'll get that bastard even from hell if needed!”

 

`No doubts in that…' the monk thought to himself. “But InuYasha, we are a team; I think we deserve to know where you are leading us.”

 

“If you don't wanna follow us, that is fine by me, bouzu!” InuYasha snarled “I never asked you to come with me in the first place, so fuck off!” Missing the monk's pained expression, he jumped to his feet knocking his table to the floor, and started to go leave, when two hand encircled his waist from behind and he felt the weight of a head on his back.

 

“InuYasha, don't.” He stopped at the whispered words. The air filled with a salty scent. Kagome felt the hanyou tense in her embrace. “You know, I never thanked you for giving me your haori. Thank you very much!” It was a lie. He knew it. She knew it. It actually didn't matter. Everyone was silent waiting for the hanyou to react. It had become almost impossible to predict his reaction. The way he snapped at Miroku wasn't normal even for his usual grumpy and rude self. During this period of time Kagome had kept her distance, afraid of reliving the hanyou's memories of the dead miko. As much as she hated that fact, she did resemble Kikyo, she was afraid that it might hurt InuYasha - and herself, for that matter - if he saw his lost love in Kagome. Just like he used to at the beginning of their journey.

 

Thus, the fact the young miko was now embracing the furious hanyou shocked the rest of the party.

 

`I though avoiding him would help. But it didn't… He needs us to stay by his side. Maybe facing his fear…me… would help him to heal faster! InuYasha please come back to your normal self! Please!' The thought's swirled in Kagome's head like crazy, but all she did was tightening her hold on the half-demon. She didn't feel the tears running down her cheeks.

 

`She's crying. Oh, no, Kagome, please don't cry! Not for me!' InuYasha was fuming inside `Naraku you'll pay for what you did! You will pay for every tear she is dropping, for killing Kikyo, for messing with Sango and the lecher. I will personally shove Tetsaiga so far up your ass that..'

 

“Keh, forget it, wench!” InuYasha turned around walked back to the futon where he was sitting before and lowered himself on it. Kagome sat near him. “We're going where it think he might be. I don't have a scent to follow, I don't have any clues. It's driving me crazy!”

 

Miroku relaxed visibly and nodded in understanding. `So he was scared to admit he didn't know the way. Not that I blame him…'

 

“You are right; it is driving us crazy too. You know that everyone has a debt to pay to that bastard. But if we ever want to accomplish that revenge we need to stay cool, and most importantly, together.” The monk shifted himself to sit more comfortably.

 

“InuYasha,” Sango joined the conversation “ we have said many times already that we will stick by your side no matter what, and we are not about to renounce that promise. You need to understand that we want to help and that everyone feels for the loss you have suffered. Don't push us away now.” The hanyou lowered hi gaze. Of course they were right. It's just, it still hurt so bad…

 

“I think it would be better if we returned to Kaede's village.” Kagome said softly.

 

“You're only saying that so you could go home, wench!”

 

“BAKA! I'm saying that because there we can wait and prepare for the fight with Naraku! You know as well as I do that you won't find him unless he lets you!!” InuYasha plastered his ears against his head. Why did all the bitches had to be so loud, anyway?! “And even if I wanted to go home, which I wasn't planning on until you mentioned it, it would have been to bring bandages and food, including ramen for YOU!” Kagome added another `baka' for good measure and walked off the room with her sleeping bag. Shippou hopped behind her, never forgetting to pull his tongue out at InuYasha.

 

“Well, it's good to know that the fights are back,” Miroku said with a smile.

 

“Yeah, I was starting to get bored without them” Sango seconded.

 

“Keh!”

 

“Well, InuYasha, look at the bright side, at least she hadn't sat you…”

 

“Bah, the bitch is too loud! It hurts my ears, I almost prefer being sat!!”

 

“SIT!”

 

“Gah!”

 

“Well, he had that one coming..”

 

“M-hm.”

 

“Oi! Wench! What the hell was that for?! I said ALMOST!” InuYasha was already on his feet. He made his way to the door, opened it and shut it behind him after stepping into the sleeping room.

 

Sango looked worriedly at Miroku. “Do you think we should follow him?”

 

“Nah. I think they need some time alone, Sango.” Miroku smiled and his eyes shined with mischief. Somehow Sango didn't like that shine.

 

“But, Miroku…” She started.

 

“Oh, my love, don't worry, you know InuYasha would never hurt Kagome. Besides,” leaned closer to her “we need a break from them too…” Sango almost lost her breath, but then the inevitable happened. She felt something caress her backside…

 

“Oh, really, monk? A break you say?” She smiled sweetly at him. And for some reason he began to feel worried, but the hand didn't stop its ministrations.

 

“M-hm, my dear Sango, a break from them.. OWWWW!”

 

“What I need is a break from you! You PERVERT!!” She was shaking her hand in the air. That one hurt even her hand. Sango almost felt sorry for the lecher… almost. With a small sigh she went back to her food. They were staying in a warm house with decent food for once, she might as well enjoy it…

 

~*****~

He stomped in the room where Kagome was supposed to be sleeping. `Yeah, sleeping! My ass she's sleeping! The wench!' In the dim light he spotted a bundle in a corner on the room. He approached it.

 

“Oi, Kagome! I know you ain't asleep! Might as well stop faking it.” He growled crouching beside her. Kagome turned her head to look at him. “What did you do that for?!”

 

“For calling me a bitch…” She ignored his `Keh' as she continued. A faint warm smile was playing in her lips now. “And because you needed it.”

 

“I… what!?”

 

“Goodnight, InuYasha.” She yawned “Please don't sleep outside today, it's raining really hard. I don't want you to get sick...”

 

“Wench! I don't get sick!” He mumbled. But she didn't answer him. Instead she just clutched Shippou tighter to her chest and let out a little sigh. InuYasha couldn't help a small smile when the kitsune whimpered and whined a little until Kagome relaxed her hold on him a bit.

 

The hanyou sat cross-legged near her and leaned his back on the wall behind him. `Needed it, hm?' He was staring at the window across the room thinking about that, when sleep finally took over him.
