Stuck In-between

Chapter One

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

Runaway Hearts

I'm beginning to think they take forever to get ready…women…Inuyasha was sitting in front of Kaede's hut, pondering whether or not he should leave without Kagome and Sango or not. Every few seconds he would hear their footsteps, traveling slowly across the floorboards. Nobody would come outside. "What could you possibly be doing in there?" He almost yelled.

The two girls were now giggling, "Inuyasha, you wouldn't understand. I brought these products from my time for Sango to use, and we decided to put them on now." Kagome smiled, "If you want to…I could put some on you!"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "I think I'd rather just go on my own." He stood up and began walking out of the area toward the village.

Sango and Kagome noticed this and dropped the make-up products, following Inuyasha. "I don't understand you sometimes. It's like there's a completely different person in there half of the time, and then out of no where this sweet, kind, adorable Inuyasha comes out of no where. I would kill to see that Inuyasha every time I looked at you." Kagome whispered as she walked through the path in the woods, behind Inuyasha and Sango.

Sango stopped walking, to let Kagome catch up to him. "You walk to slow." Inuyasha complained. He stopped with the two girls and got behind them, threatening to pick them both up and throw them over his shoulder if they didn't hurry.

They began walking faster, picking up speed and getting there much quicker. Inuyasha still complained about how slow they walked, instead of taking the punishment of hearing Inuyasha yell, Kagome yelled. "SIT BOY!"

Inuyasha plunged into the ground. "Fine! Have it your way, we'll go just as fast as you're walking. Don't blame me when we get their next year and their out of your damn NUTS!" He whined, getting up and walking ahead once again.

When they reached the market, they all split up to look at different things. Inuyasha stood aside waiting for the girls to finish their business. "Oh my gosh! Sango come here!" Kagome screamed in excitement. She waved for her friend to look.

Sango came running to her side, squealing in excitement as well to see the beautiful necklace Kagome was holding in her hand. It was blue, but shined a green glow, and it was incased together with silver crystals. "How much is it?" Sango hovered closer to the necklace.

He grew impatient with the two girls, "Come on, we're leaving." He grabbed Kagome's hand and began leading her away. She didn't have a chance to place down the necklace. Sango noticed this and called to him.

"Inuyasha wait!" Sango yelled to him, "The necklace!" She tried to tell him, but he was too impatient and bored to even start to turn back. So they would just have to deal with the now-stolen necklace, whether or not it brang trouble.

Inuyasha sighed, stopping. He looked to Kagome, "What did we come here for? Oh…yeah, that's right. We came for the nuts. Well, Kagome…they didn't have them. Okay? I looked, and they don't have any of your nuts. So we can leave now." He began to walk faster, hand in hand with her. "We're leaving."

Sango followed, not sure whether or not Inuyasha was just angry about that they were taking too long, or if there was something different on his mind. Instead of questioning it, she knew how angry he would get if she didn't come along with him. Now wasn't the time for arguements and staying at the market when you weren't going to buy anything else anyway, wasn't a very good idea. She moved along at the same pace as Inuyasha.

They reached the hut quicker than they left, and Inuyasha finally let go of Kagome. "Inu…ya…sha!" Kagome had a fierce look in her eyes, Inuyasha failed to notice it until shegot closer to him, gripping his shoulder.Sango stood still, she could tell Kagome was angry. She refrained from using the S-word. It didn't take very long for her to let the words slide out of her mouth.

The look in his eyes when he noticed her mouth opening, forming the word. His eyes widened, as he tried to find the time to explain himself before she said anything. "Bu-" It was too late, Kagome was already beginning to say the dreaded word...multiple times.

She wasn't happy, "Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit!" She stopped to catch her breath, "How dare you carry me out like that! I don't think I've ever seen such a stupid thing in my entire life!"

Sango quietly went inside. She didn't want at all to interrupt and get in the middle of their fight, when Kagome was angry, she was angry.

As Inuyasha pulled himself out of the ground, he noticed that Kagome had never been this angry before. So instead of talking back to her and calling her names, he tried not to say anything. "Sorry?"

"Well maybe you should of said sorry while you were lugging me over your back!" Kagome came closer to him, "You made me steal this necklace. I'm tired of you being like this Inuyasha…you need to change!" With that, she turned around and ran right past the hut and into the woods. Within seconds she was out of sight, and Inuyasha was left confused.

Is she going to come back? He plumped down on the ground, sitting cross legged like he normally would. When she comes back…

…We'll have a laugh about it? Right?

He brought his knees to his chin, almost beginning to rock back and forth. Taking in his feelings, thoughts. He would have to find her, he would have to run after her. In fact, he should of ran after her as soon as she ran off, anyway. But he was held back, like he was frozen. He was confused, and didn't know what to do.

I'll find you, Kagome...just be alright.

This was my first story at Fanfiction, and this is my version of it that I redid. I noticed that most of the chapters were written VERY crappy towards the beginning…and I really didn't want that. If I want to be honest with myself, I think that I was a horrible writer when I first did this. Now I know I've improved…a LOT. I'm no where near as good as I wish I was, and I know I'll improve on that, too. Anyway, this chapter was redone on: 11.3.05
