First off. I do not own Inu Yasha, or Kagome, or Shippo, etc. I wish I did!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inu Yasha sniffed hesitantly at the air. ~What is that smell? I like it, but. hmmm~ he wondered, wrinkling his nose. Kagome watched him from the well, trying not to laugh. Inu Yasha hadn't seen her yet, but clearly he smelled her. Suddenly he whirled, clearly having realized whom he smelled.
'KAGOME!!!' He leapt at her, grabbing her up in his arms in a massive hug, before realizing what he had done. He then remembered that he did not ~NOT~ like Kagome. He dropped his arms quickly, recoiling from touching her. Unfourtunately, he had been holding her in the air over the well. When he let go, she hung in the air for a moment, staring at him, and he stared back into her eyes- as she fell back down the deep hole. He leaped forward again, grabbing for her hand to save her from that drop.
He fell with her.
They landed in a heap at the bottom of the well, forward in Kagome's time, with Inu Yasha on top of her. They both winced.
'Ow.' they said together- then they realized their position. Inu Yasha and Kagome both froze, looking into each other's eyes. They stopped breathing, gazing deep into one another's souls- and Kagome reached up to tweak Inu Yasha's ears.
''Squeaky squeak- squeak squeak''
He growled angrily, pushing up off of her, and stood, without offering to help her up.
'Fool girl! Why did you pull me back here!' he rumbled maliciously as he scaled the wall. She looked up at him, puzzled.
'But Inu Yasha, you grabbed me, then dropped me, then gra-' she stopped, for he had already leapt back through the well, into the past. She crossed her arms.
'Well, isn't that just like him! Humph! But. then why did he look so happy to see me? Did he. miss me? Should I go back?' then she scowled. 'No. It would serve him right if I stayed right here! He can come fetch me, if he wants me back so badly! He probably didn't want to hug me anyway. He probably thought it would be funny to drop me down the well on purpose. That's why he smiled.' She climbed back out of the well, still thinking to herself.
'And yet. if he meant to drop me, why did he try to catch me? Maybe he really didn't mean to drop me? Maybe he- no, Kagome, don't be ridiculous. Inu Yasha only wants you to find the jewel shards. In which case, I'm going to stay right here. If he wants me, HE can come and get me. See if I care. Maybe now I can catch up on some schoolwork without a desperate case of rheumatism!'
