Love Happens by: BlueMiko
Disclaimer: I do not own Inu-Yasha, Rumiko Takahashi does. I'm just writing a fanfic.
Author's Note: This is my first fanfic ever! When it starts with one of the character's name, it's in their POV. Mostly Inu-Yasha's and Kagome's. The other characters pop up here and there though.
Kagome
Kagome took an arrow from the quiver, put it quickly in her bow, and tried yet again.
"C'mon Kagome-chan!" Shippo encouraged her.
Kagome looked at the moving target in front of her. The youkai terrorizing the village. It was big, almost the size of one of the huts. It's green scaly skin shined in the sun. She remembered what Miroku had said to her when she had gotten distracted by a a sound before, 'Always focus on the task at hand.'
She looked at the youkai and 'focused.'
"Hit your mark." she whispered as she let the string go.
As the arrow sailed through the air, it was engulfed in a bright light. The purifying arrow hit the youkai in the back, instanly disinigrating it. Kagome beamed as a small cheer erupted from the village.
She and the young kitsune made it back to Kaede's hut, only to look upon two, worried faces.
Kagome and Shippo had been left to fight the demon on their own. The others had argued as to who should be with her, but only Shippo had been able to. Sango's Hiraikotsu (the big boomerang-w.s) was damaged and she was wounded, Miroku had a bad cold, and Inu-Yasha was currently sleeping off a fever. They had left Kirara to watch him so that he wouldn't sneak off, help Kagome, making his fever worse.
"I beat it!" she informed them.
Sango gave her a small smile, then looked over to Miroku, who just so happened to be looking at her. They both looked away.
Kagome sighed 'It's obviouse they love eachother! Why don't they just show it!'
She shifted uneasily as her gaze fell upon the flap that Inu-Yasha lay behind.
'Why don't I show it?'
Although, she knew, she loved him, the feeling wasn't mutual.Inu-Yasha loved Kikyo, not her....right?
Inu-Yasha
"Kikyo!" Inu-Yasha called frantically, trying to get the miko's attention.
She wouldn't face him, she began to walk away.
"Kikyo, don't leave. Kikyo!" Inu-Yasha ran after her, but the faster he ran, the farther she seemed to be.
Branches cut his face as he raced through the brush, she was so close.....so close....
He opened his eyes. He was still in the damn room. Voices were coming in from the other side of the flap.
".....and then, when she tried again, she got him! It was as if he had exploded! You should have been there!" the young kitsune's voice rang out.
"But Shippo-chan, what did you do?"Sango asked, with a hint of amusement.
There was a pause before anyone spoke.
"He distracted the demon when I missed my first shot." Kagome answered calmly.
"Really?"Miroku humored the small fox,"Well, then, I think that deserves something to eat. Kagome-sama, go and see if Inu-Yasha-kun has awakened," there was a pause, then a little more sternly "Go Kagome."
The flap opened, and in stepped Kagome. Kirara, who had been peacfully asleep in the corner, pranced out. Inu-Yasha looked at Kagome with half closed eyes. She was beautiful, but who he saw, was Kikyo.
"Kikyo." he whispered.
"Do you want something to eat?" she asled him, ignoring the fact that he had called her Kikyo. Still, he saw her eyes welling up.
He nodded, then began to sit up, "Damn fever!" he yelled slumping back down.
"You could try sweating it out. I learned that at school." Kagome suggested uneasily.
"What do you know!" Inu-Yasha snapped.
He immediatly regretted it. Kagome was only trying to help him. The least he could do was take her advice.
"Kagome, I'm sorry, I didn't-."
"No, no, it's ok, I shouldn't tell you what to do." and she left.
Kagome
'Breath in, breath out....don't cry.' Kagome instructed herself.
"So, is he awake?" Shippo asked her.
"Yes, he's awake, and hungry." she added, making her way over to the bowl of rice already waiting for her.
As she did, she sensed a Shikon no Kakera. Two, and they were coming in fast.
"You guys......." Kagome turned towards the door.
"Kagome-sama?" Miroku asked, alarmed.
A loud gusting noise came from outside, stopping when it reached its highest pitch, right next to them.
Gathering her bow and arrows from beside her pack, Kagome ran outside, ready to shoot.
"Hello, Kagome-chan." Someone said as soon as she had stepped outside.
It was Kouga. He was holding her hands, waiting for her to say something to him.
"Kouga-kun! W-what a surprise." she added flatly.
"I came to see you," he explained, "It's been so long since I've seen your beautiful face." the wolf youkai finished, drawing her into an embrace.
Instantly, Inu-Yasha came to her mind. He never hugged her, he didn't even love her back. He would only be found hugging Kikyo. Kouga, however, did all of these things to her. If Inu-Yasha was going to be with Kikyo, she would be with Kouga! Hopefully, Inu-Yasha would become jealouse and see how much she ment to him.
Making up her mind, she raised her arms enough to hug Kouga back, and then leaned her head on his chest.
Someone behind them cleared their throat.
"Are we.......inturrupting anything?" Miroku asked.
Kagome felt herself go red, and immediatly turned around. The monk was staring at her with a smirk. Sango was right next to him, she wore a questioning look on her face.
"Um.....Kouga-kun is here....uhh....."Kagoma began, looking at Kouga for help.
"I came here to see my woman." Kouga said, tilting her head in his direction, "I also came here to bring her with me. Ginta and Hakkuga have taken quite a liking to you." he added speaking to her.
"I,um..."Kagome blushed again.
She looked down, 'Wow, this guys' intense. First he kidnaps me, then he's asking me if I want to go with him. I mean, he is kind of cute,' Kagome thought, looking at Kouga, 'What am I saying? This guy is gorgeouse!'
Turning to Kouga, she took a deep breath.........
Inu-Yasha
"Inu-Yasha!" Shippo shouted, running through the flap, looking worried.
"What!" he answered, irritated.
"Come on, Inu-Yasha! Kouga's taking Kagome-chan to his cave again! He's saying that she could live with him if wants to!" Shippo said quickly, then ran back out, "They're leaving!"
'Damn woman!' Inu-Yasha thought to himself.
Getting up, was the easy part. Actually getting outside, was different. The time after you're over a fever, you're still pretty groggy, even youkais. Or in this case, hanyous.
"And where the hell do you think you're going?" Inu-Yasha demanded seeing Kagome being carried in Kouga's arms. She looked at him as if it were obvious.
"Well?" he waited.
"I'm leaving." she said bluntly.
"Nani?!" was all he could say. (Nani: What?!, Huh?! What the?! You get the point.-w.s)
"To visit, that's all," she turned her attention to Kouga, "Ok, let's go. Goodbye!" She called back as Kouga sped off.
Inu-Yasha watched her go until she was barely more than a speck.
"Damn bastard!" he yelled, punching a hole in the nearest tree. He turned around, Miroku, Sango and Shippo were all staring at him.
"What?" he snarled.
"She'll be back in a week." Sango replied in a tonless voice.
"I don't give a rat's ass when she'll be back!" the angry hanyou stormed off, then under his breath he muttered, "A whole damn week."
Laying down in his sickroom, he wondered 'How come she never wanted to be alone with me?'
'Oh, she always wanted to, you just never really let her get the chance. What with you always running after Kikyo, you picked her over Kagome anyway.' a voice in the back of his head whispered.
Kagome. He saw her in his minds eye, her long black hair, her curiouse, brown eyes, her pale white skin and her long legs. She really was beautiful. He loved her scent, it was so clean and smelled vaguely of flowers. His mind, filled with thoughts of Kagome, peacefully put him to sleep.
Yup, so that's the end of the first chapter. Pretty boring, eh? Well, hang on, I guarantee that this story gets alot better!!! Plz R&R!!!!!
