-------------------------------------------

Chapter 5.

"You mean I can't leave Inuyashas' sight?" Kagome screams in disbelief. Right as the spell keeping her and Inuyasha together wears off and they are able to get some breathing room.

"Thetas what I was afraid of" says Songo wondering exactly who that old lady was and what could she be up to.

"Inuyasha, we have to head back to that village and find out about that old lady and get her to tell us about these beads and how to take them off" Kagome pleads with Inuyasha who is just standing there thinking, hardly paying any attention to her.

*If Kagome can't go out of my sight, that means that I can now protect her better* Inuyasha thinks* ALso these beads make it to where she can't sit me anymore, a definite plus. HEY that means she can't go back through the well for those stupid tests of hers or to see that Hobo guy unless I go with her, which I won't. So she has to stay here and help us hunt for the shards.... With me. What did I just think that? Of course she'd have to stay with me that's the whole point of the beads, but why does that suddenly seem more important to me* He looks at Kagome * those feelings didn't come from her, where did they come from, me? *

(A/N - sorry, long train of though, but I thought I'd let ya in on what's going on in Inuyahsas' head. In this story the only people you'll hear direct thoughts from will be Kagome and Inuyasha. But only because it's Important to the story line. SO please forgive me if the POV gets confusing)

"Please Inuyasha," says Kagome not paying attention to Inuyashas' lack of attention.

"What?" he asks, snapping back to reality.

"I asked if we could please head back to the village to talk to that old lady" Kagome replies, trying to avoid a fight knowing she wouldn't be able to sit him.

"No, we have a shard of the jewel to go after, and besides, I think it would be easier for me to protect you this way" Inuyasha says with a cocky grin. Then he turns and goes to sit by a tree, in classic Inuyasha style.

Kagome gets ready to yell when Miroku interrupts "Kagome have you even tried to remove the beads?" Kagome looks shocked, and a little sheepish. She can't believe that she actually forgot to try the most obvious thing. She reaches up and grabs the beads, nothing happens. So she begins to lift them over her head. They only make it to her nose before they shock her and refuse to go any further

"Shit, it didn't work, so much for that" Kagome swears. Everyone looks at her, shocked at hearing KAGOME of all swearing like a certain hanyou.

"Did I just hear that?" Miroku asks Songo in a whisper.

"If you mean Kagome swearing, then yes, I heard it too. I think she has been spending way to much time around Inuyasha" Songo answers, never taking her eyes off Kagome just in case her hair turns silver and sprouts a pair of dog ears.

Shippou slowly makes his way to Kagome and asks "Kagome, are you ok?"

"Yes I'm fine, I'm just mad at Inuyasha" she replies to the concerned kitsune.

"Don't worry about Inuyasha, he's a jerk" Shippou says to cheer Kagome up.

"From the mouths of babes" Songo comments to Miroku.

"Hey, I heard that!" Inuyasha yells from under the tree as he gets up. "We need to get going anyway if were gonna get there any time soon."

"You mean were going to see the old lady?" Kagome asks hopefully.

"No, were going to get the shard" Inuyasha answers as he makes his way over to the rest of the group.

"How can you be so insensitive Inuyasha!?" Kagome yells at him, making his ears press to his head.

"I'm not being insensitive, this is for your own good" he snaps back senescing her desperation and trying to ignore it. But as Kagome begins to tear up for the second time that day he gives in.

"OK, OK, we'll go see the old lady. But not until after we get the next shard" he says, not willing to give in all the way. " Besides, do you think I'd wanna be stuck to you forever" he adds to try and sound tough. Even though that's exactly what he wanted, though he wouldn't even admit that to himself.

All of a sudden he is overwhelmed by sadness. He looks over to Kagome to find her staring down at the ground; he would have rather seen her crying than the way she looked now. *She can't possibly feel that way because I said I don't want to be stuck to her. It's probably because I said that we had to get the shard first* Inuyasha lies to himself as he turns to head down the road hoping to escape the emotions that threatened to overwhelm him.

"Thank you Inuyasha" he hears Kagome say, though it was hardly a whisper and he could still hear her sadness. Songo walks up to Kagome and puts her arm around her shoulder as they begin to follow Inuyasha.

"It's ok, we'll get the shard fast" looking up from where Kagome held him in her arms. He then jumps down to go to Kirara.

"Don't listen to him Kagome, he's just being a jerk" Songo said when she knew everyone was out of hearing rang. "I don't think that he actually meant any of that last comment, he was just trying to be macho, as you say" she finishes

"I know he didn't, but it still hurt when he said it" she says as one tear manages to roll down her cheek * I just wish he could try and understand a little more *

Inuyasha feels her emotions surge up again * Damn it, why did I have to act like such a jerk back there *. He mentally kicks himself and makes a promise to try and cool it for a while, at least until they talk to the old lady.

I'm so sorry this took so long to update, and I know I already apologized but I figured I better do it again or else you'd tell the Smurfs and gnomes where I live *shudders at thought*

This was going to be longer but I figured I should update.

One last thing, I need you to review and tell me if you think Inuyasha should sense what Kagome feels or if he should actually FEEL what she feels (emotionally). If you say feel. Me and anime and manga girl came up with an idea that would make for one hell of a dilemma.

PLEASE REVIEW!
