Changing Paths
~ Chapter One ~
Coming Down To A Choice
By Inuyashas Youkai
' Taken the one thing you've given me :a reason to leave , then finally doing things my way , when this is done and over . I will say goodbye to all of this forever , and make something out of it just for me '
It always came down to this everytime , wheither to stay, or choosing to leave , but today marked the day not only fate part of that choice but another did as well . After a outright heated argument between the two had ended up with the hanyou being sat , proceeding the sight of said mutt jelously chasing off the wolf in one breath, and then lip locked with his past love , the next .
The whole thing needless to say went too far, in the end two things occured rather too quickly once the words of goodbye had passed through her pursed lips .
" I am leaving , I am sorry I have to say goodbye..."
"Like hell you are ! We have shards , and Naraku to find !"
"Kikyo can do it , everyones life would be better for it once I am gone Inuyasha , and then be happy ... I just can't do it anymore and live underneath a shadow I could'nt ever hope to compete!"
As the hanyous eyes widened in fear that she was serious this time , and was really going to leave them , abandon him and suddenly his amber orbs bled of deadly intent with each step to the well she took. Although before she gotten to , Inuyasha had beaten her to it with a large boulder threatenly poising it near the opening to prevent her leaving him.
"No ! It wasn't Kikyo who promised to always stay , it was you , and I am seeing to it that your word is kept!Don't make me do it Kagome cause I will, but I really don't want too."
" Go to hell Inuyasha !" Kagome said as she bolted for the well knowing that Inuyasha wouldn't if she was already in the well because it would hurt her.
Although true to some degree , Inuyasha did toss the thing to follow after , but didn't conceived the direction in which he threw the boulder, and as it would seem in his hurriedness to catch up with the wench just threw it upwards then leapt into the well following after Kagome. It wouldn't be known to sometime later of his dire mistake , and the reprocussions of the choices he had made thus far, but once he crossed over to the other side , did he ever get a mouthful.
" Didn't you hear what I said Inuyasha , I said go back to your precious Kikyo , and take her back to hell with ya, then maybe I can ever hope to have a life ! I am tired , Inuyasha , sick and tired of always only coming in first when it's convenient for you ! Any other time its always Kikyo , only when Kouga is around or for the sake of the shards do I ever matter , so why don't you have her take my place, and forget it !"
"Ka Kagome ? ! Do you know what your saying !"
"I do ! It's better this way , everyone gets what they want , and now its time for me to get what I want . I 'll still come for as long as the jewel lets me , but after Naraku's defeat I will say goodbye once my task is done! You won't have to worry about me anymore interfering with anything anymore!"
"Shuddup Wench ! Just shut the fuck up ! You don't know what you are talking about ! You'd never have gotten it have you !" Inuyasha's seething towards Kagome now leading to her pinned against Goshinboku.
"Doesn't matter anymore , I am done...Just go home , Inuyasha .. I be back in three days , and maybe hopefully I'll feel better about this , okay?"
"Not until you take it all back wench , and promise me you'll come back ! Your not done till this is thing is over , and then , and only then will we talk about afterwards, Not a second before! You hear me!"
"Fine ! Whatever you say , I take it back ? " Kagome stated only to get him gone and a little long awaited peace from his persistant griping , its a wonder why she had forgotten to sit him as of yet..
"Okay , then I will see you back under the Goshinboku Tree, in three days from now . Don't make me regret doing this Kagome, do not do anything stupid while I am gone!" Inuyasha stepped away from his close proximety to the girl after a short embrace to show he had genuinely cared
" I think I have done enough of that don't ya think Inuyasha ? Don't worry I 'll come back , at least for now , anyway ."
Kagome watched as the hanyou's movements towards the well were seemingly hesitant , and seemingly so , for it had appeared as though Inuyasha may have had a inkling in what she would do after he passed through, but she would never admit it to be so, that was why the hanyou said what he had. Once the man in silver , and red disappeared into the well's depths , Kagome had retreated inside to somehow clear her head .
The moment she had passed through the doorway of the shrine house , a shrill roar had seemed to shake the ground , and lead to the old well where she last seen Inuyasha where Inuyasha stood. Taking a deep breath before turning around , and fllowing her step back to the old well , and to see what the hell Inuyasha's problem was now..
"Inuyasha ? Something wrong , I thought you'd be back with Kikyo by now!" Kagome joked sarcastically
Without warning , Kagome found herself pinned against the inside of the wellhouse walls with the hanyou's lips hovering teasingly over hers, with his heated breath brushing slightly against them , delisciously , and sending goosebumps down her spine, before his rasp was heard.
" I can't .. The well won't let me through .. Guess for now we are both stuck here!"the hanyou paused before letting his voice speak huskily before he soon forgotten how too , prior to the hold over him with her eyes took over completely
"Which brings me to my next point , Kagome , I guess it's time you knew " The hanyou then pulled her the rest of the way , closing the gap , and took her lips , shyly , in his .
"Wait ! What the hell ! Your doing it again , just cause now you are here you can't expect me to fall for this again , and then once we get back get tossed aside for Kikyo . I can't , and I won't , but I will be your friend, as I always had been. . " Kagome heatedly chastised after finally was able to remove herself from the hanyous teasing ways ..
'Evil mutt ! How dare he ?'
"Kagome , you got it all wrong, it's not that at all ! Dammit ! "
"Prove It !"
"How ?"
" When I think of something you'll know , but for now I think I will go see if any of the girls would like to hang out . I need to get away for awhile . It looks as though you are stuck with Souta today !Bye Inuyasha ?"
Though before Inuyasha or Kagome had the chance to speak , all further conversation was soon halted by the sounds of the front doorbell , alerting them to a unexpected visitor , and boy were both shocked to see who was only standing on the other side...
