Hidden Heart Part One - The Discovery
Summary: Kagome runs away from Inuyasha when she catches him with Kikyo once again and stumbles upon Sesshomaru. Rin begs the demon lord to take in Kagome, and he does, but is it only because Rin asked him to, or does our cold Fluffy-chan really have a heart after all?
Chapter One – The Same Old Story
Kagome ran around the house frantically trying to find all the supplies she needed for the Feudal Era. She ran up and down the stairs dragging her humongous yellow backpack after her.
"Nooo! Inuyasha's going to kill me for being late again; what can I do to stop him from yelling? I know, more ramen! This is totally going to take a huge chunk out of my allowance!" Kagome said to herself as she raced towards the kitchen cupboard for the ramen. She threw a couple more packs of chicken and shrimp flavoured noodles in to her already bulging backpack and raced out the front door only to race back in again and slammed the door shut.
"Damn it, Hojo's walking towards my house, I can't let him see me right now, or else I'll never get back to the well in time," she cried, panting. She raced around the house again, and shut all the windows and closed the curtains, co no one could see inside. She also turned off all the lights. Just as she finished, the doorbell chimed.
Quietly Kagome crept over to the front door and peeked out the hole, sure enough, there was Hojo with a bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates. Kagome swore quietly using swear words she had picked up from Inuyasha. Suddenly she had an idea. Kagome ran silently towards the back door and opened it. She raced towards the well house and opened the secret door only she knew about.
" Phew, that was close," Kagome sighed as she walked towards the Bone Eater's well. She hopped in and the familiar comforting blue light indicating that the portal between the two eras had opened again engulfed her.
As she landed on the bottom of the well, Kagome had a faint gut feeling that she was about to experience something that would wound her emotionally, but she only pushed it aside and climbed up the well using the vines. When she got to the top, Kagome looked around. The field was empty, but in the depths of the forest to her right she could sense something going on. Curious, Kagome followed the aura into the neighbouring field. There, in a very intimate position was Inuyasha and Kikyo, making out.
Kikyo looked up from Inuyasha's embrace and caught sight of Kagome. She grinned evilly and turned back towards Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha baby," she cooed while tightening her hold on the said half-demon.
"Yes, my love," replied Inuyasha as he buried his face into Kikyo's neck and started kissing her.
"Before we can do IT, I have to know…." Kikyo trailed off, glancing at Kagome, who was still hidden in her hiding place watching them embrace with tears in her eyes, "What does that other miko, Kagome mean to you?"
"Nothing, my love, she is nothing to me. Kagome is just a copy of you that I use the capture the jewel shards," was the reply. Kikyo smirked at Kagome.
"Then after we defeat Naraku, will you kill her and get me my soul back again?" Kikyo asked Inuyasha, who could only nod, as his mouth was being covered by the dead miko's. Kagome couldn't take any more. She ran off as fast as she could, not caring where she ended up.
As she ran, Kagome could feel her heart break into a million pieces that would take months to put back together, if she would ever let anyone get that close to her, but as she ran, Kagome made a vow to herself. She would never fall in love again.
Unknown to all three people in the clearing, where Kagome had just fled, a pair of cold, disgusted golden eyes followed the miko from the future. The owner of these eyes decided to wait a minute before silently going after the miko.
