DON'T UNDERESTIMATE US

Chapter1 (I have to protect him)

"Hey kagome what are we gonna have for lunch today I'm starving."

"Well Shippo what do you want for lunch?" Kagome responded to the young fox demon she was holding.

"I know for sure I don't want ramen we've had that for a week strait." He answered with disgusted look on his face.

"Hey runt there's nothing wrong with having ramen that long I could eat it for months strait so no complaining." Inuyasha said with his arms crossed.

"Yeah only because you're in love with it." Shippo said under his breath.

"What'd you say?" Inuyasha said turning around and staring at the little fox.

"N-othing."

"Oh really now does that mean that your in love with it is nothing." Inuyasha said while hitting the boy on the head.

"Waaaaa Kagome he hit me."

"Yeah well he deserved it."

"Inuyasha! Say you're sorry to Shippo." Kagome said.

"No."

"Inuyasha."

"No"

"Don't make me say it."

"Na ah"

"Sit boy"

(Crash)

"Hey what was that for?" Inuyasha retorted

"You're hopeless." Kagome said shaking her head.

"I'm hungry." Shippo whined once again.

"Oh sorry Shippo I forgot ok I have some… pizza." Kagome answered with a smile.

"What's pizza? Every one asked kagome.

"Um… it's a food from my time."

"Is it good?"

"If it wasn't I wouldn't have suggested it."

"Ok then lets eat!" Shippo said excited.

20 minutes later

"You were right kagome that was good." Sango said smiling.

"Yes I must agree with Sango Lady Kagome, it was very good I …"

(Smack)

"Hands to yourself letch." Sango said scooting away from the houshi.
"Oh come on Sango no harm done." Miroku said rubbing the side of his face where Sango had slapped him.

"No chance."

"But..."

"No, hey Kagome want to go take a bath the hot springs' not far from here." Sango said directing her attention to the young miko.

"Sure Sango that sounds great, Inuyasha make sure that Miroku doesn't fallow us okay?" kagome said with a face he could never resist.

"Fine."

"Thank you Inuyasha."

"Yeah whatever just don't take forever." Inuyasha said not wanting to be stuck with the perverted monk to long.

"Ok we won't" kagome said before walking off with Sango toward the hot spring.

With the Girls

"So what's up with you it's been along time since we've really had some girl time to talk." Sango said while resting her head against a rock.

"Not much I'm kind of glad Naraku hasn't acted up lately, but at the same time I want this battle to be over I'm sick of all the suffering he's caused on all of you." Kagome said with a sigh.

"You know he's hurt you to it's not just us." Sango retorted.
"No not really, I'm just a tool in his plot. He's really only after Inuyasha." Kagome said not really thinking

"But that still affects you, either way."

"Well I guess it does."

"Uh you're so difficult."

" Whoa where'd that come from." Kagome said raising an eye brow.

"Oh come on we all know you love him the only one who doesn't Know is him." Sango said trying to point out the obvious.

"And how does everyone know that information." Kagome questioned.
"Um well I told Miroku."

"Shippo?"
"OK maybe not everyone but come on." Sango said pleadingly.

"He loves kikyou Sango there's no place for me in his heart." Kagome sighed some what depressed.

'Do you know that for sure, are you absolutely positive about that?" Sango said prying for the answer she wanted.

"yea-no." was kagome's only answer.

"Then ask."

"You say it as if it would be the easiest thing in the world." Kagome replied rolling her eye's at the demon slayer.

"It shouldn't be that hard to ask a simple question."

"I'll ask Inuyasha if you ask the houshi."

"You're joking right?" Sango questioned.

"Not in the least."

"Oh come on Sango he's said to you a million times." Kagome said.

"Just like he asks every woman to bear his children." Sango rolled her eyes.

"Just ask."

"We'll both ask, you Take Inuyasha and go for a walk and I'll talk to the Monk back at camp." Sango said feeling smart.

"Ok I guess I can live with that one."

"So we agree."

"Agree."

with the boys

"Come on Inuyasha just a little peak please." Miroku whined at the half demon.

"No."

"Why not."

"Because she told me to make sure you didn't fallow them." Inuyasha said blankly.

"Oh come on I Know you want to see kagome." Miroku said hitting a sensitive spot.

"I do not." Inuyasha said although he had a blush on his face.

"Sure Inuyasha that explains the blush on your face and the dirty thoughts going through your head." Miroku said with a smile.

"Shut up you houshi I'm not like you." Inuyasha retorted with a growl in his voice.

"Inuyasha it's normal to think that way about a girl you know I'm not the only one. All guys think like that." The Monk stated try to explain it to the dog demon.

"Then why does it give me this weird feeling like its bad or something." Inuyasha said a little worried.

"Probably because you've never thought or felt this way about someone right? You told me yourself that all you ever felt for kikyou was the fact you had to protect her because you blamed your self for her death." Miroku pointed out.

"Yeah but what does that have to do with anything now?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well to tell you the truth I think that maybe lady kagome…"

"Kagome what?"

"Well Sango told me that lady Kagome thinks and believes you loved and still love Lady Kikyou." Miroku said not sure of Inuyasha reaction.

"WHAT! Why in the hell would she think that?" Inuyasha yelled.

"Maybe it's because every time you hear Kikyou's name you go looking for her."

"Oh, guess that make sense."

"And you just figured this out?"

"Shut up I already told her that I'd never do it again."

"Did she believe you?"

"No, but that just means that I'll have to prove it to her." Inuyasha said confidently.

"The only way your going to do that is when you tell her and make it convincing maybe even show her that and how much you love her." Miroku said trying to get his words to come out right.

"What do you mean by show?" Inuyasha said giving the houshi a questioning look.

"That's up to you Inuyasha; whatever you think is the best way to make her believe you." Miroku said shrugging his shoulders.

"I have no idea."

"I think you will when the time comes."

"I hope your right monk I really do." Inuyasha ended right before the two girl returned to camp.

"You guys have a nice time while we where gone." Sango asked pretty sure of the monks answer.

"Not as much fun as I would have had if it was you and me alone… talking." Miroku said with a smirk.

"Don't get any ideas houshi or I'll smash your head to pieces." Sango growled.

"I said talking didn't I?"

"Yeah well with you that doesn't mean anything."

"Hey Inuyasha?" Kagome asked in a whisper

"Yeah?" Inuyasha whispered back.
"Can we go on a walk or something It looks to me like they really do need some alone time." Kagome asked looking toward her hanyou.

"Sure that's fine with me, here get on my back. I want to show you something."

"Um ok." Kagome said as Inuyasha crouched down so that Kagome could get on his back, then he sped off in the direction of his destination.

"So did you talk to him?" Sango asked.

"Yep, and did you talk to lady Kagome?"

"Sure did, so how do you think this is going to turn out?" Sango questioned leaning on the monks shoulder.

"However they want it to there may be some difficulty but that's how all good relationships are." Miroku pointed out.

"That's right you have to be able to make it through the bad to get to the good…well kind of." Sango said knowing that didn't come out totally the way she wanted it to.

"It's ok I understand what you mean." And with that they fell into a comfortable silence.

(Kagome and Inuyasha)

"So where exactly are we going Inuyasha?" kagome asked nudging her half demon unintentionally.

"You'll see just be patient.' Was Inuyasha's response.

"You're telling me to be patient? That's a new one."

"Hey be nice."

"Ok I'm not even going to comment on that one I'll just leave it alone."

"Good Idea."

"Hey." Kagome said while hitting Inuyasha on the arm.

"Hit me again and I'll drop you." Inuyasha threatened.

"You wouldn't dare." Kagome responded narrowing her eyes.

"Want to try me."

"Gladly." Kagome said about to hit him again.

"To late we're here." Inuyasha said setting her down.

"What am I going to do with y…" Kagome cut herself off as she looked around.

"Whoa what is this place." kagome asked.

" My mother used to bring me here when new needed to get away from all of the people. But was a good hiding spot, until they found it then we had to find another one." Inuyasha responded knowing Kagome would want the full story or at least the truth.

"Oh sorry I asked, but I have another question for you if that's ok?" Kagome said wanting to make sure she wasn't intruding on anything.

"Sure go for it." Inuyasha said wanting to be open wit her he knew that it was time to open up to some one and she would always listen.

"Umm ok well I… why'd you bring me here?" kagome finally just spiting out her question.

"Well when I was little my mom told me to show this place to someone I really trusted…so yeah." Inuyasha said hoping she'd understand.

"Did kikyou ever see this place?" Kagome asked blowing Inuyasha's hopes.

'Looks like I'll just have to try harder' Inuyasha though looking strait at her.

"Kagome my mother said someone not some people, if I had ever shown it to her I wouldn't be showing it to you now would I?"

"Sorry I just… I…never mind forget it." Kagome said waving her hands in the air.

"Why?"

"Because it's not important." Kagome said looking at him

"PLEASE Kagome I want to know, I want to fix it but I can't if you don't tell me." Inuyasha said pulling kagome into a hug.

"Do… you…hah…do you love her?" kagome asked closing her eyes and waiting for the answer she was dreading.

"How long have you been thinking that?" Inuyasha asked her while holding her tightly against his body.

"Ever since I saw that hurt look on your face when I told you to forgive her and help kaede." She replied bringing her arms up to embrace him as he embraced her.

"I never loved her kagome, I felt guilty for letting her die the way she did, and I wanted to fix it, but I never loved her." Inuyasha said as he pulled out of the hug and looked kagome strait in the eyes pleading with her to believe him.

"Why then did you run off when you heard that she was alive."

"Because I thought that maybe I still had a chance to set things right, do you understand that or are you really that dense."

"I'M NOT DENSE!" kagome retorted.

"Right, whatever you say kagome whatever you say."

"Your such a…"
"well, well what a catch I've got today." A demon said coming up behind Inuyasha.

(when the hell did he get there)"Who the hell are you and what do you want with us." Inuyasha growled pulling out tetsiga.

"I here that Naraku want's the head of a half dog demon who travels with a miko. You're him are you not?" the demon questioned

"I am and how in the hell does that concern you."

"Half dog your head is mine."

"Like hell."

"Inuyasha be careful he has a really strong demonic ora." Kagome screamed.

"Way to point out the obvious." Inuyasha yelled back blocking a strike from his opponent.

"Just please don't do anything rash." Kagome begged.

"Then stop distracting me. WIND SCAR!" Inuyasha yelled seeing nothing left of the demon.

"Is it over?" kagome questioned.

"yeah that demon didn't put up much of a fight now where were we?" Inuyasha asked approaching Kagome once again.

"well we … Inuyasha watch out!"

(damn I don't have enough…)

"SIT!" Kagome screamed just in time for Inuyasha not to be run through the heart with the demons blade.
"damn wench." The demon yelled as he stabbed kagome through the stomach.

"ahhh!" was the only thing that came from kagome's mouth before falling to the ground cringing in pain.

"KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled rushing to her side.

"what's wrong half breed you act like you just lost the only person who cares. Oh that's right you just did." The demon mocked.

'Your going to regret the fact that you ever met me." Inuyasha said holding up tetsiga about to hack the demon to pieces when.

"what the hell is this stuff…Ahhh what did she do to me." The demon screeched as a bluish light surrounded his body then ripped him apart.

"kagome are you ok…Answer me! Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled in alarm trying to get a response from the girl he was holding.

"Calm down…uhh… Inuyasha I …can hear…you it's just…hard to breathe." Kagome said her eyes fluttering as she tried to stop from going unconscious.

"what in Kami's name where you thinking?" Inuyasha said wide-eyed.

"I was … thinking…I had t-to…protect…you." kagome said finally giving into the darkness.

"Ka…go…me." Inuyasha said softly dropping his head and lowering his ears in shame.

(you know like dog does when it gets in trouble. That kind of thing.)
