The Make-Up

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

For two days after the fight, Inuyasha didn't speak to Kagome unless he absolutely had to. Kagome acted as if it never happened which only enraged Inuyasha some more. But he didn't say anything. He more or less pouted!

"This looks like a wonderful spot to have lunch," Miroku said. A river gently ran to the side of the clearing. The gentle grass looked so inviting.

"Yeah," Sang oagreed.

Kagome nodded and took of her back pack when she found her spot to collapse upon.

Inuyasha didn't sit down or say anything. He only leaned against a tree and watched quietly. Once Kagome noticed, she invited him to sit next to her but he only mumbled something rueful and looked away.

"Oh stop being so kiddish, Inuyasha. Some by me and we'll have ramen." Kagome unpacked some ramen.

Inuyasha mumbled again. Ramen… Tempting but no.

Miroku put the pot of water down and looked carefully at Kagome, then Inuyasha.

Kagome sighed. "Let's go for a walk, Inuyasha."

"Can I come?" Shippo asked with a sucker in his mouth.

Before Kagome could say no, Sango did. "No, Shippo, we need you here."

Shippo smiled and nodded, thinking he was going to be doing something important.

Kagome stood up and walked towards and past Inuyasha. "Come-on," she insisted. "We need this."

Inuyasha didn't move.

"Don't make me say 'it'… Lets go." She tried to stay calm and not get angry but with Inuyasha's ignorance, it was becoming very difficult. "Sit," she sighed. Inuyasha hit the ground.

"Damn you, Wench." Inuyasha growled.

"Never mind, Inuyasha. I'll take a walk." With that she walked angrily into the woods.

Once the spell is gone, Inuyasha sat up and pouted.

"Go," Sango ordered. "Go after her."

"Why?" Inuyasha growled.

"This has gone on for long enough." Sango stood up and marched over to him. "You are going after her. If you apologize or not, you are going to talk to her so you can get off your pitty pot!"

Inuyasha almost shuttered in fear.

"Now GO!" She growled.

Inuyasha stood up and pouted off after her.

Once finding Kagome, he found himself almost scared of her. It wasn't the cursed enchantment but rather…her… Then again, the thought of her mad turned her on. Her body was tense and angry. He walked behind her and coughed.

"Are you here to call me names and joke about me: Her voice was horse and unclear. She'd been clear.

"What's your problem?" Inuyasha suddenly growled. He didn't want it to start out this way but by going soft would only show signs of weakness on his part.

Kagome sobbed harder. "My problem?" She sniffed.

Inside, Inuyasha was dying.

"You were the one who started it all! Then, when I try to let it go and go on, you pout and throw fits!"

Inuyasha his ears back in submission.

"We need breaks! We needed that break!"

"But because we had that damned break, we lost Naraku's scent!" Inuyasha yelled back.

Suddenly, Kagome's voice became calm as she stood up to look at Inuyasha. "Are you getting grumpy because of Naraku and how close we are?" She stepped forward. "Because we're so close to completing the jewel? Why are you so…so…jumpy?"

Inuyasha looked at Kagome and breathed out slowly. Then he looked away and 'keh'ed. "Why would I be so jumpy over that?"

Kagome saw right through him. She saw her chance. "Because you're afraid of loosing me." Her voice was velvet soft and perfectly calm.

Inuyasha's heart stopped.

"If you don't want me to leave, Inuyasha, then I'll stay here."

"No," Inuyasha shook his head. "I couldn't keep you away from your family…"

"I'll always come back, then." She reached out for a hug and Inuyasha accepted her completely.
