Hey, Guys! This is my first story! I don't have the whole plotline figured out, though I do have a general idea, so if you have ANY suggestions, I would LOVE to hear from you! Enjoy!
P.S.: Please review! Each one is like a blast of cold air! (It's really hot right now, by the way.)
DISCLAIMER!: I do not, in any way, own Inuyasha, nor am I claiming to. Rumiko Takahashi owns Inuyasha (Lucky Ducky!).
Chapter 1: Ouch.
Kagome POV
"SIT!" My eyes were blazing with fury as I said this. InuYasha had just gone too far this time. "SIT!" I screamed again as he started to get up, muttering something about 'That damned wench'. "Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! SIT!" I repeated each time he started moving, running away as I did so.
I can't let InuYasha see me cry. That was the only thing on my mind as I ran toward the well, even though the tears were already filling my eyes, blurring my vision. I can't break down, not yet. Only a bit further.
However, I tripped on a tree root just outside the clearing, and landed a few feet away from the well. I couldn't make myself get up, so I did the only other thing I could. I collapsed in a sobbing heap, my body shaking with the combination of my tears and hyperventilating. I was vaguely aware of a pain in my leg, but my entire body was numb, except for my heart. That was scorching with pain.
Suddenly, I heard the yelling that meant InuYasha had finally regained his ability to move, and would probably come looking for me soon. I quickly crawled to the well and dragged myself over the edge.
I yelled, "SIT!" a few more times, then let myself drop, having giving myself at least another ten minutes.
I quickly climbed out of the well, sprinted to my house, and ran inside.
I said hello to my mother, and although I'm sure she realised I was home early, she was long used to me coming home after the fights me and InuYasha had. She wanted to chat for a bit, but I told her I was tired and wanted a nap. I ran up to my room, threw myself on the bed, and cried my heart out. I knew InuYasha didn't love me, I always have, but I thought he at least cared about me. But I was so wrong. He didn't even want me around. I think I was crying for a good hour before I eventually fell asleep, but I can't be sure.
In my dreams, the fight between InuYasha and I was replayed. I kept crying through my sleep, and I felt a tingle on my back, almost as if someone was watching me.
"Why do you waste your time with that 'school' stuff?" InuYasha asked me with an annoyed look on his face. "We have way more important stuff to do, Kagome."
"Like what?" I asked, my legendary temper already beginning to boil. "School is important!" School really wasn't that important to me, but I still made myself do it, because I knew that one day, we would defeat Naraku. And when that happened, I would leave to my time, and I would stay. Permanently. What reason would there be to stay in the Feudal Era? There would be no place for me. Sango and Miroku would undoubtedly get married and have children. Shippo would go live with the cute little girl he had fallen for in a village they had passed. And InuYasha. InuYasha would finally be with Kikyo, just like he always wanted. I had to choke back tears at that last thought.
"Oh, I dunno, maybe like FINDING NARAKU!" He screamed, his voice making the every bird in a seventy foot radius scatter from the trees. "How could your school POSSIBLY be more important than that?"
I sighed. "InuYasha, my schoolwork is not more important than defeating Naraku. Not even close. However, we haven't gotten even a slight clue as to where Naraku is, and we probably won't for a while. He's going to be in hiding for a while; you injured him pretty bad in our last battle. Plus, I want to see my mama, Sota, Yuka, Eri, Ayumi, and Hojo." I said the first part intending to calm him down, since compliments usually give him a big head, and then he's in a pretty good mood.
It only made him angrier. "WHO CARES!" he screamed even louder, if that was possible. His fists were balled up so tightly that his claws were cutting into his hands. He was even baring his fangs. "We need to keep looking! Honestly, Kagome, if you're not comitted, why are you even here?"
That was when I sat him, and ran.
When I got to the part where I tripped, I woke up and fell out of my bed. As I got up, I froze as my gaze met that of two golden eyes. And man, those eyes were mad.
