Inuyasha was sitting on a branch waiting for Kagome to show once again. She
had been away for days this time and he was getting impatient. He jumped
down and ran to the village. Kaede was at the hearth cooking for Miroku,
Sango, and Shippo.
"I'm going to collect Kagome." he informed them before running off back to the well and jumping in. He jumped out on her side and ran up to the house. What he found there would confound him until the day he died. A large man in a red suite sat in the living room handing out brightly colored boxes with big bows to Kagome, her mother, and Sota. He walked in and stared at the man.
"Hey Inuyasha! Merry Christmas!" Kagome said giving him a hug. "Why don't you come with me and we can talk." She took his hand and led him to her room. "Okay Inuyasha, I know I need to explain a few things."
"Like what in the seven hells was a large man in a red suite doing in your house handing you boxes?" He snorted.
"Well, yes, that, but also why I can't return to your time for a while," she said meekly.
"What do you mean?" He said warily.
"Well I have some things to do here. I have to perform in a play at school. I'm the lead part. So I can't go back for a week," she said sullenly. He stared at her, then her growled.
"YOU HAVE TO GO BACK! YOU ARE TO FIND THE SHARDS OF THE SHIKON JEWEL!" he yelled at her. Kagome then got angry.
"Well I can't Inuyasha! I have very important things to do her in my time which don't concern you or those silly shards! Inuyasha I'm tired of doing everything you say! I want time to do things that just concern me and no one else!!!" Kagome yelled close to tears.
Inuyasha looked morose. He lowered his eyes and waited for her to "sit" him. But nothing came. She just sat on her bed looking frustrated, angry, and sad. Inuyasha took her in his arms and held her close. Kagome was shocked at first but then relaxed and snuggled in to him. Inuyasha touched his lips to the top of her head.
She looked up at him, "I'm sorry Inuyasha, I just had to say that."
"Don't worry about it Kagome, we all have to vent sometimes. I know I do it all the time with you," Inuyasha whispered. Kagome smiled sadly.
"Do you want to see my outfit? I'm the Queen Snow Fairy," she said brightly. Inuyasha nodded and watched her as she grabbed an outfit from her closet and leave the room. He heaved a huge sigh. He didn't know what came over him. Kagome was just a very close friend.
Is she really, Inuyasha? Or is she more to you than you can comprehend? a little voice asked.
Oh be quiet, Kagome is just a jewel finder and a good ally. She can't be anything more, not with what happened last time I began to really trust a human, Inuyasha thought back to the incessant voice.
Trust? Or love? Did you really love Kikyo? Or did you just trust her? And this is about Kagome. Trust or love?
