Kagome sat at the edge of the cool water, the bed of rocks beneath her were smooth against her skin, she traced one with her toe as she leaned back, letting the water's soft tide wash over her body bathing in the river was refreshing, she took a deep breath and smiled. She could feel small sapling growing from the river's mailable underbelly, small roots caressed her feel.
"Look out Kagome! Inuyasha's tryin' to sneak a peek!" She heard Shippo yell through the bushes behind her. "What do you think you're doing! I-"
"Sit boy!" Kagome screeched, the sounds of snapping branches and splashing water followed. Kagome blinked as the red blur fell into her lap. Inuyasha laid there, motionless for a moment, dazed from falling out of the tree. He looked up to see Kagome, her face twisted into a look of anger he had never seen before. In one switch movement, her hand was on his cheek, the pain shot through his skull like an arrow and left his face throbbing. Kagome pulled herself out of the river. She had hung a towel from one of the tree branches that Inuyasha had broken on his fall, she plucked it from the pile of broken wood and wrapped it around herself as quickly as she could manage. Inuyasha stared up at her, his clothes soaked through with river water. She stood still for a moment, Her wet hair covered her eyes, yet Inuyasha could still see the shades of red peeking out from her cheeks. He knew what was coming.
"Kagome, wait, I-"
"Sit boy! Sit boy! Sit boy! Sit boy!" She yelled over and over again for what seemed like forever as Inuyashas body slammed into the rock bedding of the river. After some time, she stormed off into the darkness of the forest, ignoring the concerned looks as she passed Miroku and Sango, even Shippo knew not to follow her. Inuyasha laid motionless in the hole his broken body had made.
"Perverted jerk! How could he!" She fumed to herself as she walked on. "If I had my bow, I'd pin him to that tree! Ugh!" She stopped, balling her fists in frustration, the embarrassment made small tears form and fall down her cheeks. She unballed her fist and wiped them away.
"Inuyasha, you-" Her voice broke off as more tears fell. She tried to tell herself how silly it was to cry over something like that, but her face was hot, and the thought of Inuyasha watching was too much for her to stop.
"Ugh. . I shouldn't be crying over that jerk! Who cares what he saw!" She told herself. It was only when she opened her eyes that she realized she was lost. It hadn't seemed like she walked very far at all, but the path was gone, and trees surrounded her in unrecognisable clutter. Kagome sigh, "Just great. . "
She sat at the base of a tree and hugged her knees. She didn't like being lost, even more so at night. And that add insult to injury, she had stormed off without her clothes.
She sat there, thinking of what to do. She couldn't call for Inuyasha, not after what he'd done. And everyone else knew, too. "That'd be too embarrassing. . "
Suddenly, the strong sense of jewel shards came to her, the strongest she'd ever had. her heart began to race as she sensed whatever had them coming closer, slowly, but surely, coming closer.
