little disappointed. "...should not I? “Inuyasha stopped, indecisive. "I would be happy if you would stay a little longer ..." said Kagome. Inuyasha sat down next to her again. “If that's the case ... then of course I'll stay. “Inuyasha replied, smiling again on the trains. Kagome slid closer to Inuyasha and snuggled up against him. "... Inuyasha? She asked after a short while. "Hm? "-" Do you remember ... what I said to you yesterday before I went to Kouga?“Kagome hesitated a little. "Eh ... yes ... why do you ask? “Inuyasha looked at Kagome in amazement. "Well ... you know, that wasn't even a lie. You ... mean a lot to me. To be honest ... more than anyone else ... "Kagome smiled, but still blushed a bit. "That pleases me. You mean a lot to me too ... “Inuyasha answered quietly. ’Whether I mean more to him than Kikyo ...? Kagome wondered, but didn't think about it any further. She enjoyed just being with Inuyasha. Inuyasha had another arm around Kagome’s shoulder. Suddenly the door opened and Sota stepped into Kagome’s room. "Kagome, can you ..." Sota didn't get any further, because Kagome had jumped up, grabbed her little brother by the shoulders and turned him around so that he was looking out the door again. "Sota, how many times have I told you not to just burst in ?! You have no business here!Better play with Buyo again! And now out with you! “She snapped at her brother and pushed him out of her room. Inuyasha just watched in amazement. "Eh ... what was that? “He asked when Kagome closed the door again. "Oh nothing. I just wanted to be alone with you. Sota is a pain in the ass. “Kagome smiled. Inuyasha just looked at her. "Tell me, Inuyasha ..." She went to the window and looked out. "When the jewel of the four souls is complete ..." she paused for a moment and looked at Inuyasha again. He listened up. “Do you then ... still want to become a full-fledged demon? “Kagome sat down on the chair next to her desk, but kept looking at Inuyasha. "I ... don't know ..." Inuyasha said hesitantly. "Of course I want to become a full-fledged demon ... but ... if I had to, I would also become a person for Kagome ... but I'm still not sure ..." he thought."Would you ... for me ... also become human? If you don't want ... you don't have to ... only if you want it, of course ... ”Kagome stuttered and looked at the floor. She couldn't look Inuyasha in the eye because she was afraid to hear the answer. She couldn't know what he was thinking. "Well ..." Inuyasha thought for a moment. "I ... don't know ... but I think I would do it for you, Kagome ..." he replied slowly. Kagome couldn't believe her ears. Had she heard right then? Would Inuyasha really become a human for her with the help of the Gem of the Four Souls? She winced a little when Inuyasha continued. "Kikyo ... I said that I would become human ... but then Naraku intervened and Kikyo followed me to death ..." Inuyasha stared into space. ’Why does he suddenly start talking about it ?! ’Kagome didn't understand. "Well ... in the end it was destroyed ... But many years later you came here, the alleged rebirth of Kikyo ... and with you the Shikon no Tama came back ..." Inuyasha paused for a little while also had an effect.Kagome listened carefully. “My feelings for Kikyo stayed with you, Kagome ... You know what happened between me and Kikyo ... I also feel a lot for you ... If I can become a person for Kikyo, I can too to you. “Now Inuyasha broke free and turned back to Kagome. Was Inuyasha trying to imply that he ... loved her? ’Can that be true? He feels just as much for me as he did for Kikyo? Does he know ... what I feel about him? If so ... where from? ... That ... I would never have thought that one day I would hear something like that from him ... and now he said it anyway ... 'Kagome only started out of her thoughts when she felt Inuyasha hug her from the side. “Kagome, do you know what I mean by that? Do you understand it? “Inuyasha asked softly. The message was clear. "Uh ... yes ... I think so. She whispered back. "Well.“Inuyasha replied. Kagome sighed. It was a pleasant feeling. They were silent for a long time and just sat there. “I have to be on my way again, Kagome. When do you come back? "Said Inuyasha. "You ... are going again? “Asked Kagome sadly. "Yes ... I haven't told anyone. Don't worry, Kagome, I come here every day. And on Saturday I'll pick you up as usual. I Agree? “Inuyasha tried to improve Kagome’s mood a little. Kagome was amazed at Inuyasha's unusual words, but then nodded to him. He left the room, leaving Kagome alone. She let herself fall on her bed and thought about what Inuyasha had just said to her because she still couldn't believe it.

Kagome went back to school when she was back in her era. Of course her grandfather had made up the most impossible and silly excuses for her.Her friends were happy to finally see Kagome again, and Hojo was not absent either.

Inuyasha kept his promise, and every day after school she waited for Kagome in her room, got along. Kagome was glad Inuyasha hadn't forgotten. However, he never stayed too long because Kagome had missed a lot and had to catch up on a lot. But also because he went to Kagome without telling anyone. So no one knew where he was every day at this time, but they all had the same assumption: with Kagome.

Inuyasha stayed with the others, but was quiet and discreet. Most of the time he just sat there lost in thought. Of course, Miroku and the rest of them noticed and were amazed at Inuyasha's behavior. "Hey, Inuyasha .." Miroku began. Inuyasha just looked at him in surprise. “What is it, Miroku? "-" What's going on with you and Kagome? You are so quiet all the time and you seem so thoughtful.And you don't care about demons lately either. “Asked Miroku. Inuyasha stared at him in surprise. "How ... do you know about it ?! “Inuyasha replied. “It wasn't that hard to guess where you've been all along. So now tell me what was going on between you two? “Miroku looked at Inuyasha questioningly. "... nothing ... what should have been? “Inuyasha answered hesitantly. “If I knew that, I wouldn't have asked. But somehow ... you seem satisfied, if not happy, but still secretive. So it must have been something. For the last time I ask: What happened to you guys? “Miroku was noticeably impatient. "So ... um ... actually nothing ..." Inuyasha stuttered. “So there was something. "Said Miroku. “Well ... you can't say that directly ... that something would have happened. I just talked to Kagome ... "Inuyasha replied. "Understand. “With that, Miroku obviously ended the conversation.That was fine with Inuyasha, he didn't want to describe everything. ’I don’t even know him like that. It must have been something fundamental. He's not like usual at all ... ’reflected Miroku.

Kagome was greeted happily by Shippo, who jumped into her arms as soon as he saw her. “Kagome! There you are finally again! "Shippo called. Miroku and Sango were also happy to see Kagome again. Only Inuyasha held back, after all, he had been to Kagome's every day.

In the afternoon the group set out again to look for the fragments of the jewel of souls. They didn't know where to look as there was no sign of demons or splinters, so they looked around the area. After a while, Kagome suddenly stopped. “What's the matter, Kagome? “Asked Miroku, alarmed. "I ... thought I felt a splinter ... only very slightly, but I felt a splinter .. no, it was more than just one!However, I couldn't see them. “Kagome said slowly. "Well then, let's go! “Called Inuyasha. "Where were you? Could you make out the direction “Asked Sango. "No .. I felt them easily, but I can't say anything exactly, neither direction nor number of splinters ..." Kagome replied dejectedly. “It doesn't matter, Kagome! We'll find them soon, don't worry! "Encouraged Shippo Kagome. She just nodded. So the 6 friends looked around in the vicinity, but found nothing.

In the meantime it was already dark and they were looking for a suitable place to rest. It wasn't long before they found a small clearing in a sparse forest.

The next morning the fire was out. Inuyasha was already awake when the rest gradually woke up. They were just about to leave when Kirara suddenly transformed and began to growl at the edge of the forest. Inuyasha was also on her feet with one jump.Sango went over to Kirara to see what was going on. No sooner had she even looked into the forest than she saw the reason for Kirara’s behavior: Naraku. "Come on, Kirara! We'll grab it! “Sango called to Kirara and jumped up. Naraku turned and fled deeper into the forest, followed by Kirara and Sango. Nobody, except the two, seemed to have noticed Naraku. Meanwhile, Inuyasha sniffed out something suspicious. He clenched his fists when he saw what was hidden in the forest behind trees and bushes. "Well..Naraku ?! " he shouted. “Come on, Kagome! Grrr ... I'll finish that bastard! “With that, Inuyasha grabbed Kagome’s hand and pulled her up. Kagome quickly climbed onto Inuyasha’s back. As soon as she clung to him, he ran into the woods. At the same time, however, Miroku also discovered something very strange: the third Naraku. “Come on, Shippo! Follow me!“He ran off, after Shippo.

Sango and Kirara found themselves in a meadow at the edge of the forest after they had followed the fleeing Naraku a few hundred meters. That was just fine with Sango, as she could use her Hiraikotsu here without any major problems. Kirara also had free leeway here. The fight did not last too long, as Sango knew what to do and used all her strength, and Kirara also did her best. But only to find out that it was one of Naraku’s puppets.

Miroku and Shippo landed deeper in the forest. Shippo distracted Naraku with a few tricks like his fox fire and spinning tops. Miroku took the opportunity and used his horiki. But that didn't get her
