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

"AHHHHHHHHH" Kagome's scream echoed through the forest.

"What happened?! Kagome, are you hurt? What's wrong?!" a flustered Inuyasha asked

Kagome screamed again. "Inuyasha," she said angrily "sit boy!"

"ack" inuyasha had crashed into the hot spring that Sango and Kagome had been bathing in

Sango gave a little scream and jumped back from the soaked hanyou

"Wench!" inuyasha screamed pointing at Kagome "what was that for!"

"You were spying on us!!" she yelled back angrily

"No I was not" inuyasha crossed his arms looking away "keh, I wouldn't spy on some one like you wench"

"Then why are you here?" she asked still angry

"You screamed, I thought a weakling like you would need saving" he said climbing out of the spring "what did you scream about?"

"I- it was-" she stammered while dressing behind a large rock.

"A bug" Sango said for her also getting dressed.

Inuyasha looked back at Kagome "a bug!" he was angry "you can shoot arrows at demons al friggin day but you're afraid of a stupid bug!! I was worried!!" he realized that he had said the last part out loud and looked away blushing

"inuyasha?" kagome said confused.

"What?!" inuyasha said angry with himself .

"You were worried?" she asked

Inuyasha quickly thought of something to try and save himself from further embarrassment "Of course wench who else could sense the jewel shards if you got injured or worse" he mentally winced at the thought of anything happening to her.

"Y-y-you ugh" she said half angry half disappointed "sit boy!!"

Crash "uhhhhhhh" he moaned

after about twenty minutes he sat up and looked around Miroku had come hearing the commotion and was groping Sango asking if she was ok. SLAP. He had been slapped nothing out of the ordinary inuyasha thought then he noticed a certain human girl was missing. "Kagome?" he asked listening for any signs of her with his dog ears, nothing.

"Sango" he said interrupting the beating of the monk "where's Kagome?"

"She said something about going for a walk." she replied forgetting about beating Miroku

"Alone?!" inuyasha said clearly upset.

"Yes" Miroku said siting up.

"I'm going after her" he growled while running off in the direction of her scent.

with kagome

"Ugh the nerve of that Inuyasha" she said to herself angrily stomping farther away not caring where she was going.

"But he only came because he was worried" she said her tone softening "but what he said what he always says." she started crying

"he hates me" she started running and crying harder

"he loves that dead lump of clay Kikyou" she ran as fast as she could

"all he wants is for me to find the jewel shards and leave so he and kikyou can be left alone again even if all she wants to do is drag him to hell with her"

her foot caught on a tree root and she started to fall awaiting impact but it never came instead she felt two strong arms catch her and pull her close "you know that's not what I want, kagome" an all too familiar voice said.

"I-Inuyasha?" she said now crying into his haori (sp?) "W-what are 'sob' you 'sob' doing here?"

"What do you think I'm doing here" he said "I came looking for you, if you got hurt because I let you stay out here alone I couldn't live with myself"

After about half an hour her crying subsided.

"Inuyasha what did you mean?" she asked

he sighed then said "Kagome, I meant that I couldn't live with myself if you got hurt and I could've prevented it I'd beat myself up about it every day until I could somehow make it better" he stopped then went on "Kagome you and I both know that Kikyou is dead and that the only way I could be with her is if I died," he noticed her flinch at the mention of it "but I don't want to die for some one I don't love and doesn't love me" Kagome interrupted "but I thought that you said--" "I know what I said" inuyasha cut in "but I was lying to you and I was lying to myself I don't love and I never did she was the only person except my mother that ever showed me kindness and I thought that it must be love but then I met you and found out what love really was." then he stopped talking and blushed.

"Inu-Inuyasha are you saying- do you mean- what are you-" she stammered in shock 'is he saying he loves me?' she thought.

"I love you kagome" he said looking into her eyes

"I love you too Inuyasha" she said rubbing her face into his chest

Inuyasha's ears twitched and he pushed Kagome away just as an arrow flew through the air where she had been. Kagome gasped and then looked to see where the arrow had come from and was shocked to see Kikyou

"Damn you wench" Kikyou yelled at Kagome

"Kikyou" kagome said pleading as Kikyou readied another arrow this time a purple aura surrounded it "no" kagome whispered 'she can't know' she thought.

"You will die at my hands hanyou" kikyou said holding the arrow her gaze not moving from Kagome.

"What?!" Inuyasha yelled confused "are you talking to me, or are you insane woman?"

"I'm not going to kill you I'm going to kill your hanyou friend who has come between us" Kikyou yelled still looking at kagome as though she would disappear if she looked away.

"Kagome's human you idiot can't you see that?!" Inuyasha yelled back at Kikyou

"No Inuyasha" kagome said sadly "she's right I'm not human I' m what she said i'm a hanyou."

"No Kagome are you crazy look at yourself you are human!" he said not believing her

"No Inuyasha I should have told you but everyone rejects me when they see I'm a Hanyou it was easier this way" she confessed to Inuyasha "I wanted to tell you but I thought you'd be angry because you had already accepted my human form but I swear I was going to tell you as sure as I knew that you wouldn't reject me no matter what."

Kikyou was satisfied that Inuyasha wouldn't want to help Kagome now and she let the arrow fly.

Kagome just stepped to the side "Inuyasha I'm sorry, please don't hate me"

Kikyou shot another arrow with purple aura this time hitting Kagome's leg causing her to scream in pain "suffer hanyou" she said hatefully.

Kagome fell to the ground whimpering. Immediately Inuyasha was at her side.

"Kagome are you alright?" he asked. She just whimpered in pain.

"The arrow" she finally said "the arrow pull out the arrow."

He did as she said wincing when he saw the jagged wound that was left behind. Another purple arrow came flying at her but Inuyasha pulled her out of the way and onto his back. "I'll get you to Kaede" "no" she said "just take me back to camp." "But your wound" he argued "I'll be fine, just take me back to camp." he knew there was no use arguing with her so he set off for the campsite

--------------------------back at Camp-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What do you think is taking them so long to get back, Miroku?" Sango asked her companion.

"I do not know, my dear Sango" he replied looking worriedly towards the forest.

"Shippo and Kiara are already sleeping." she pointed out "they, or at least Kagome, usually makes sure to get back in time to tuck Shippo in, I'm worried."

"Don't worry so much, Sango Inuyasha's with her so she should be fine." Miroku said trying to comfort her.

"How do we know that Inuyasha found her? He could still be looking for her what if she's been kidnaped? Or what if she's hurt? Or worse." by the last part she was in tears.

"Sango please, don't cry" Miroku said hugging her "I'm sure that she's fine you and I both know that Inuyasha, no matter how stubborn he is, loves Kagome and would never let anything happen to her."

"I know" she said as her tears started to subside "but still"

"Don't even think that something has happened" miroku scolded "and please don't cry anymore, it pains me greatly to see you in pain."

"Who are you and what have you done with Miroku?" Sango asked jokingly looking up at him.

He was about to laugh but just then Inuyasha emerged from the forest running towards them with Kagome on his back.

"Kagome, Inuyasha!" Sango said standing up to receive them joyously.

"Ah Inuyasha Kagome welcome--" he stopped noticing that something was wrong "Sango get Kagome's first aid kit"

"Why- oh my gods" she said then went to get Kagome's bag.

Inuyasha reached the camp looking worried and bewildered due to what he had been told in the forest and Kagome's wound.

"Inuyasha what happened?" Miroku asked helping Inuyasha put Kagome down.

"Kikyou she shot Kagome with a purifying arrow" he said somewhat confused

"What? Why a purifying arrow she's human it would make almost no difference" Miroku said completely thrown off that she would use a purifying arrow on a human.

"Kagome she- she's not human" Inuyasha said still confused by everything.

"What do you mean 'not human' look at her she's about as human as you can get" Miroku said pointing at her.

"No I'm not" she said now having to confess to the rest of her friends "I'm not what I seem to be"

"How is that possible?" miroku asked

Sango had just gotten back "how is what possible?" she asked

"Kagome not being human" miroku explained "she says she's not a human as she would appear to be"

"What!?" sango asked surprised.

Kagome sat up, sighed, then started her story "my Grandmother who I lived with for my whole life was a powerful Miko and it pained her to see her family line disgraced by me, a filthy hanyou and she thought my mother was the lowest scum out there to give birth to the child of a demon so in order to keep her family seemingly pure and perfect she used almost all of her Miko powers to create a ring" she pointed to the ring she was wearing on her left hand "that would turn me completely human when I was wearing it but if I take it off "she said starting to slide it off "my true form will be revealed and I will become a hanyou" she slid it off the rest of the way and she started to transform. She grew two black dog ears on the top of her head and her eyes turned golden. Then her teeth and nails sharpened into fangs and claws.

They all gasped and the commotion had woken shippo just in time to see his adoptive mother transform.

"Kagome?" shippo asked "what happened?"

"Shippo this is my true form, I'm a Hanyou" she told him.

"Really?" he asked

"Yeah" she said looking down

"Cool!" he said running up to her and jumping on her shoulder and sniffing her "but now you smell a little different and you look a lot different."

"But I'm still the same old Kagome inside" she said and hugged him "now bed."

"But-" he started "no buts" kagome said carrying him to his sleeping bag.

She tucked him in and gave him a kiss on the fore head "love you night"

"Night mum" he said falling asleep.

"He never called me mom before" Kagome said.

Inuyasha's pov

wow she's even more beautiful than before and shippo's right she does smell different. How did I not notice before? That ring must be really good at disguising Hanyou's. But what if a demon got a hold of it? He could completely disguise his demonic aura and the way he looks, maybe even the way he smells! That could be dangerous he could get through guards undetected into villages, monasteries, or various other places that could endanger children, young monks, priests, priestesses, or demon slayers in training. It could be used to kill off all things that threaten demons. We have to Destroy it!

Normal pov

"Kagome can I talk to you?" Inuyasha asked

"Yeah sure Inuyasha" she said walking over to the side with Inuyasha

"We need to destroy the ring, if it ever found it's way into the hands of a demon the demon could cause the fall of--" kagome cut him off "I know and I understand, do it, do it now destroy the ring"

"I'm glad you understand" he said "but where's the ring?"

"It's over there where I took it off" she said pointing to the spot where she had taken it off.

Inuyasha drew the Tessaiga (sp?) held it over his head and slammed it down on the ring cutting it into two pieces.

"That's the end of it" he said

"Yeah" Kagome said starting to think about how much the ring had helped her and how different it was going to be from now on.

"It's all gonna change now isn't it?" she asked Inuyasha

"Mostly yeah" he replied

"Inuyasha are you mad at me for not telling you earlier?"

"No Kagome I'm not mad at you," Then he smiled mischievously "but you will pay for not being honest with me"

"Inuyasha," she said backing way "Inuyasha what are you going to do"

He stepped forward towards her "the worst torture in the world"

she sensed something she didn't like in his voice "no" she breathed and started running

"Yes" he yelled chasing after her.

Eventually he caught her, tackled her, and pinned her down then started tickling her.

"Mwahahahaha" he laughed evily

"Inuyasha 'giggle' stop 'giggle' that tickles" she said between giggles.

"Never!" he yelled in a mock evil voice

"aww how cute" an evil sounding voice said "two filthy Hanyou's playing too bad you have to die"

I'll post the next chapter when I finish it please review and please no flames
