"Sometimes you drink the milk, sometimes the milk drinks you"
My Bloody Valentine
chapter one: why does she need to go?
I sat up in the tree, staring down at my little group of friends. There was the monk, who was currently asking the demon extermintator a question, holding her hands. Yep. He was asking her to bear his child again. That was for sure, as Sango had just whacked Miroku over the head with her Boomerang. Blushing too. I laughed.
I looked over at the other two and stared. There she was, playing happily with Shippo and Kirara. She's so beautiful...I could stare at her all day.
But if I did that then it would be obvious that I was in love with her. I couldn't let that happen. With Naraku and all. He'd kidnap her and blackmail me somehow.
I shifted my gaze and stared over the long plains. Leaning against the trunk of the tree, I thought. I always think, when I'm alone. Its all I can really do.
"Hey, Inuyasha!" she called.
I jumped and almost fell off the branch. Catching my balance, I glanced down at her.
"What, Kagome?" I asked.
"Come down! Sango and I have finished cooking!" she called up to me.
I leaped down and landed next to her, taking a sniff. I love her smell. "Is it Ramen?"
"Maybe.." grinned Kagome as she walked back over to the fire and sat by the monk.
I slowly walked over and casually sat next to her. Grabbing a bowl of the Ramen, I ate it extremely fast, as always.
"Geez Inuyasha, can you eat any faster?" asked Shippo.
I merely glared and just kept on eating. "Any news of jewel shards?" I asked the group in general, between bites.
"None." replied Miroku.
"Don't look at me." said Shippo.
"I heard a rumor of one down south but-" started Sango. (A/N did anyone else notice how they always here rumors of shards 'up north' but never 'down south'?)
"Then when we're done eating, lets get going." I interupted.
"If you had let me finish my sentance, Inuyasha," said Sango. "You would have heard me say that I found out it was just a rumor and there is no shard." she said.
I grumbled and grabbed another bowl.
"Besides.." said Kagome, looking away from me. "I have to go back home for a few days.." she said, a slight blush on her face.
I stared at her with narrowed eyes. "Oh? And what for?" I demanded, completely forgetting my Ramen.
"I have a test.." she said. She was lying.
"Thats not all, is it?" I asked her.
Kagome just took another bite of her Ramen. "I'll be back in five days." she said.
"Oh, so now it takes you five days to take a test?" I asked of her.
Kagome blushed again and glanced at Sango, who looked away.
"All right, whats going on?" I demanded, standing up. "You girls are hiding something and I demand to know what the hell it is." I said.
Miroku looked back and forth between Sango, Kagome and me and then just continued to eat his Ramen. Shippo just ate.
"Maybe I have two tests.." said Kagome.
"Two tests that take five days to complete?" I asked, narrow eyed.
Kagome blushed. "Fine, if you really want to know, I've got a date!" she shouted, maybe a little louder than she wanted.
It felt like my heart was broken. Litterally. Into a million pieces. I wouldn't show it though. I would just scowl.
"A date?!" I shouted.
Miroku looked up. Now he was interested in the conversation.
"Yeah, a date." replied Kagome. "With Houjo."
Houjo..damn him, that cocky bastard. "That Houjo kid? You're going to waste five days in your time for him and two tests?" I asked.
"Maybe I want to have a life." she replied.
But you do have a life, I wanted to say. I life here with me. And of course, the monk, the exterminator and the kitsune. "But-"
"No buts Inuyasha." she interupted me. "I'm going back!"
"No you won't!" I shouted at her. Her face got red with fury and I prepared myself for the worst. Why couldn't I just keep my mouth shut?
"Sit!" she said calmly.
My face went straight into the ground. I tasted dirt and grass instead of tasting the Raman I was just eating. I layed there.
"I'm going back tomarrow, and you can't stop me." I heard her say.
I pulled my face out of the ground and picked up my Ramen again. I ate it fast, but walked over and sat opposite of Kagome, near where Kirara was sleeping.
Why couldn't I just tell her? Tell her that I miss her when she's not here and that I'm lonely? I'll tell you why, its because I'm a big fat scaredy cat. Or scaredy dog.
When everyone was finished eating, we headed back towards the village and spent the night in Kaede's hut. I stayed awake, all night long, and while everyone was sleeping, I stared at her. Even while she slept, she was beautiful.
Every night before Kagome goes back to her own time I stay awake and stare at her. I won't see her again for a few days, sometimes a week. Its all I can do.
I should just try and be easier on her when she goes back..but for a date? Dammit! At least it wasn't with the Wolf-boy. Kouga..the fricken bastard.
I chanced a peek out the window and saw the moon. In a week or so I'd be human again. I hate when I turn human..I let too much out.
Looking back at Kagome, I saw Shippo close an eye.
"You watching me, Shippo?" I asked.
Shippo made no reply. He just snored.
"You're not sleeping and I'm not stupid." I said.
His eyes opened. "You were staring out the window. How come?" he asked.
"Maybe I felt like it." was my reply.
"Why don't you go to sleep?" asked Shippo, crawling lazily over to me. "Aren't you tired?" he asked.
"No, but you are." I said. "Go back to sleep."
"Why don't you come over too?" he asked, a sly grin on his face. "There's plenty of room by Kagome!"
I narrowed my eyes and slammed the little fox into the ground. "Go to sleep." I said and threw him over. He landed near Kagome's feet and fell asleep instantly.
What he said..I would have loved to go over there and just lay next to her. But then I'd never hear the end of it from Miroku, Sango would just smile at me funny all day long, Shippo would start asking those annoying questions again, and Kagome would either 'sit' me or slap me. Dunno which is worst.
After what seemed like such a short while, the morning came and everyone slowly woke up. I sighed knowing that Kagome would be going home again very soon.
The daily morning routine started again. Sango slapping Miroku after his hand went around her ass, Shippo chasing after a frog, Kagome cooking breakfast. Same old thing.
Except for when Kagome would go back home..to her other home. Then things would be different. Sango or Miroku would be cooking, Shippo wouldn't do anything but lay around all day or play with Kirara. And I'd seem cold and distant to those who looked at me. Why does she have to go back? I need her here with me..
I don't mind it so much when she goes back for a test..but when its for a date, I nearly explode. She's done that about three times over the past month. Gone back for date, which I found out from Miroku, who had found out from Sango, who Kagome had told.
And I'm afraid if I try to stop her, she'll sit me. But more than than, I'm afraid she won't come back here..to me. I wonder how she feels about me. Does she think of me as more than a friend? Or just a dirty Hanyou.
"Inuyasha!"
I snapped out of my world and saw Miroku, waving his hand in front of my face. "What?" I snapped at him.
"Sorry to interupt the conversation with your voices, but breakfast is ready." he replied and walked over to the fire.
"I do not have conversations with voices." I said angrily. "I have no voices."
Kagome laughed and just handed me some food. I ate it slower than normal, because she was going to leave soon.
"Whats wrong, Inuyasha?" she asked.
"What?" I asked.
"You usually eat your food so fast. You're eating it slow today. Slower than Sango." she said, tilting her head at the exterminator.
Sango looked up at hearing her name mentioned, but when she saw it would lead to now conversation, she just went back to her food.
"Maybe I'm just not that hungry." I said.
"Now thats a first." said Miroku.
"Will you stop with the wisecracks, monk?" I asked.
His reply was a grin as he took a bite of his food.
"As soon as we're done with breakfast, I should head home." said Kagome. "I won't get to go to school on time, but at least I'll get there." she said.
I chose not to reply.
"You'll be gone for five days this time, Kagome?" asked Sango.
She nodded. "Five days. Lots to do."
"You better be back on the fith day or you know I'll come and get you." I said. "And I don't care if that Houjo-creep is there with you, I'll drag you back here."
"Fine." she replied.
I nearly jumped. She aggreed with me?! "Did you just say fine?" I asked, making sure I heard what I thought I heard.
"Yes." she replied. "I'll be back, don't worry."
This time, I couldn't even think of a reply so I just began to eat fast.
"Thats the old Inuyasha." said Miroku.
I was the first to finish, of course, and I leaped up into the nearest tree. Why do I always jump into trees? I guess its just one of those questions that can't be answered.
It was a few minutes later, and everyone had finished and they were now cleaning up. In a few minutes, Kagome would be gone for five days straight.
"Hey Inuyasha, I'm going home now!" I heard Kagome call.
"Yeah, dog boy! Come say good-bye!" shouted Shippo.
I scowled and jumped out of the tree. "Remember, five days or I come to get you." I said, looking her straight in the eyes.
"I promise, Inuyasha, I'll be back." she said, bowing.
She jogged over and picked up her bottomless backpack. She heaved it on her back and went over to Sango and hugged her.
"See you in a few days Sango." she said. "Bye Miroku."
Shippo jumped up into her arms. "Bye bye Kagome!" he said cheerfully. She hugged him tightly.
Why couldn't she hug me like that?
She came back over to me and I thought she would. But..she didn't.
"See you Inuyasha." she said and grinned. Then she turned and headed for the well.
We were all quiet for a minute, as we usually were right after Kagome left. Shippo would just sit there and stare at the sky. Sango would pet Kirara. Miroku would sit indian style and do what looked like meditate. As for me, I would jump into a tree again and think.
Five days this time..Usually it was for about a day or two. Maybe three. I think the most was a week. And that was because her grandpa was sick and she had a big test to take. Thats understandable. But staying five days and for a date? I can't stand the thought of it.
"Inuyasha!" called Miroku.
I looked down and saw them all sitting there in a circle. Sort of. I jumped down and sat next to the kitsune. "What." I asked.
"What should we do for five days?" asked Miroku. "Its pointless to search for Shikon Jewel shards without Kagome's eyes." he said.
"So we don't search." I said.
"Are you just gonna sit and sulk like you always do when Kagome goes away, Inuyasha?" asked Shippo.
I glared daggers at him and picked him up by the tail. "I am not sulking." I said angrily. I slammed him in the ground.
"Inuyasha." said Miroku. "Don't deny the obvious."
I glared at the monk and cursed him for not having a tail of something else I could grab him by to slam him into the ground as well.
"Fine, you all wanna do something?" I asked, standing up. "Why don't we all just get drunk and spend the next couple days with hangovers!" I said and stormed off.
Whats with me? Why am I being for cruel lately? I walked into the village and stole a bottle of sake from a villager. He started to run off, but I grabbed his shirt collar.
"What do you want with me, Inuyasha?" he asked, looking scared.
"Give me your sake." I said. He shoved it all in my hands and I let him go. He ran off in the opposite direction.
Why did I do that? Why did I just demand this villager to give me all his sake? I walked off into the forrest and sat down. I opened the bottle and took a swig.
Then I took another swig.
Before I knew it, I looked around and saw five empty bottles of sake around me, I think, and I was leaning against a tree trunk. I burped. Woah this was weird. I looked around and saw what looked like Miroku come over.
He looked around and saw the bottles, at least I think he did. I also think he shook his head but I don't know because I chugged down the rest of the bottle that was in my hand. I had a drop left when it was snatched from me hands.
"C'mon ::hiccup:: gimme the sake back..." I heard myself say. "I aeem verry ::hiccup:: thirsteee.."
The next thing I knew, I was standing up with the support of Miroku and we were walking somewhere. "Inuyasha..you fool, getting drunk.."
"Whare are wee ::hiccup:: going?"
I heard no reply but I soon found myself under water. My head was lifted out and I felt somewhat refreshed. I went under again and again. I lost track of how many times I went under. Then everything just went blank.
