Chasing Kagome
Chapter 1: Departure and Deception
Kagome stared at InuYasha while he slept. Like she could help it...she was seriously falling for him. The fire behind her crackled and popped which caused InuYasha to wake from his slumber. Kagome tried to look away quickly and thought she had succeeded until InuYasha spoke.
"Kagome, I know you were staring at me" .
She blushed scarlet, "eh..uh...w-w-what? I wasn't staring at you!"
"Whatever Kagome" he said as he rolled back over.
"Don't flatter yourself" she whispered under her breath.
Kagome scurried back to her sleeping bag and laid in it's warmth. She stared up at the sky, and the glittering stars. Her thoughts were chocked full of the half-human, half-demon lying 10 feet from her.
Ugh! InuYasha annoyed her so much! Yet it wasn't actually him, himself, that annoyed her. It was the fact that she couldn't get him out of her head, that every time she had a spare minute it was spent in a girlish fantasy that seemed impossible.
And, InuYasha, of course, was completely oblivious to all her feelings. He couldn't see her love for him, and even if he did, she doubted he could understand or even accept it. Along with accepting it, could he even return it to her? He still seemed so in love with Kikyo, and that hurt Kagome. A lot.
She suddenly noticed her hands were clenched into fists. And realized that InuYasha was the only person who could get her so worked up like this. All of her attempts to give him hints that she liked him were completely futile. What exactly was his problem?! She answered her own question: Kikyo.
That's it! I'm going home for a while. I need to be normal again. I need to study, hang out with my friends, maybe go on a date with Houjo, and get my mind off of InuYasha. It's what has to be done...it's going to help me...it's going to be hell. A week or two with no InuYasha...going to be hard but...I'm leaving.
She stood up quietly being sure not to wake Miroku, Shippo, or InuYasha. Walking silently she grabbed her book-bag and made her way to the well. Once there, she looked back towards the campsite, and hesitated. A single tear slid down her cheek, and she dived into the dark well.
Meanwhile...
InuYasha couldn't believe what had just happened. He had heard Kagome getting up, despite her best efforts to keep it discrete, and as she gathered her stuff, he rolled over to watch her. She kept shaking her head after speaking softly to herself, and once done, stood up and nodded as she took off.
He too got up after being sure Kagome wouldn't hear him following her. He stood behind the trees in case she looked back, which she constantly did. Her hair would whip around her as she turned and bit her nails nervously. Then as quickly as she had turned one way, she was back on her quest. Her quest to the well.
InuYasha knew that's where she had to be going, and before he could even think of why, they were there. He watched and listened intently as she, once again, turned around. This time though, it was different. Her eyes were glimmering, and then one tear slowly rolled it's way down. Then abruptly she jumped into the well, bidding farewell to feudal times.
She left...and she was crying...is that to say she's going to be gone for a while?
InuYasha knew what he was going to do. He didn't know why he was going to do it, but he was going to. Some urge told him to follow her, jump in the well, and watch her without her consent. And to be quite honest, InuYasha wasn't putting up much of a fight to resist the urge.
So he stood in front of the well, looked down into it, and with a single swift jump he was on his way to Kagome, which for some odd reason, actually caused him to smirk.
