Hey everyone, I'm back. I have been wanting to write an Inuyasha fanfiction for a very long time! I dont have much to say, so the story is below!
Date: Saturday June 7th, 2014
Time: 10:00AM
Place: Kagome's Bedroom
POV: Third Person
Chapter 1:
Kagome squeezed her eyes shut when the sunlight beamed through her window. It was Saturday, so she didn't have to worry about school, or waking up early. Also, she was staying home for a few days instead of being with Inuyasha, so today was her lazy day. She woke up a couple minutes later and stretched a really good stretch. She got up and walked to her bathroom and turned on the hot water. She turned on the shower head and stood there as the hot water rushed down her back. She sighed in comfort.
'Kami, if you hear my prayer today...please do not let Inuyasha interrupt this peaceful morning. Thank you.' said Kagome in her head. It's been a while since she had a peaceful morning. It was Saturday and for once, she got to sleep in. No need to worry about school, since yesterday was the last day, and no need to worry about Inuyasha butting in...yet. Kagome grabbed her shampoo bottle and was about to open the bottle when she heard a loud banging on the door. It scared her so bad it made her jump and squeeze the shampoo bottle, making it squirt shampoo into her eyes.
"OH MY GOD!" shrieked Kagome.
"Kagome! Are you in there?! What's taking so long?!" shouted an angry hanyou. Kagome was reaching for something to keep her balanced since her eyes were squeezed shut and burning like hell, she fell on the floor, taking the shower curtain down with her, having the rod hit her head, and leave her looking a hot mess.
"OW! Oh god that hurts!" shouted Kagome.
"Kagome? Are you okay? Open UP!" shouted Inuyasha.
"INUYASHA I SWEAR ON KAMI YOU'RE GONNA GET IT WHEN I GET OUT OF THIS MESS! OH, YOU'RE DOG MEAT I SWEAR ON EVERYTHING!" screamed Kagome. Inuyasha instantly shivered in fright. He backed away from the door.
"Uh. O-okay. Just take your time…" said Inuyasha.
"YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I'M GONNA TAKE MY TIME!" cursed Kagome. Ok, now Inuyasha was really scared. He had never heard Kagome curse at him, or anywhere. He was officially scared for what was going to happen, so he just slowly walked to Kagome's room and sat on the bed quietly.
"That idiot! God my eyes." said Kagome as she flushed her eyes with water. She looked in the mirror as her visibility came back and her eyes were really red. She rubbed her head where the pole hit her and felt something wet. Assuming it was water, she ignored it until she looked at her hand-drenched in blood. She quickly got as much toilet paper as she could get, which was the majority of the roll, and applied pressure to her head wound. She looked in the floor and there was drops of blood all over where she had walked. She didn't think that rod was that heavy, but she lifted it with one hand and found out it was at least 6 or 7 pounds. Boy was she lucky she didn't pass out. There was a silent knock on the door.
"Who is it." said Kagome plainly.
"Uh...a-are you coming out soon." asked Inuyasha. Kagome sighed in annoyance, as she threw away the toilet paper.
"I'll be out in a second." said Kagome. She combed her hair and tried to get some of the blood out. She got most of it, she didn't have time to get in the shower again, so this will have to do. She got dressed in some new clothes. She had black shorts on with a white t-shirt on top. She stepped out and into her room and slammed the door.
"K-Kagom-"
"You ignorant little brat."
"Kagome I didn't mean to get you-"
"I don't want you ever to come barging into my house like that again. Since I know you just let yourself in as usual, you are now to KNOCK ON MY DOOR, wait for someone to answer, ask if I am busy, AND THEN I WILL COME DOWN. Understood?" shouted Kagome. Inuyasha quickly nodded but then something caught his eye.
"Kagome…"
"What is it now?"
"Your head...y-you're bleeding!"
"Huh?" Kagome felt a small trickle of blood on her head. "It's nothing. I just fell trying to get out of the shower."
"Idiot! You have eyes to prevent that from happening!"
"WELL EXCUSE ME IDIOT. YOU WERE THE ONE WHO BANGED ON MY DOOR, MAKING ME GET SOAP IN MY EYES!"
'So she wasn't crying. Clutz' Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Come here."
"No, I can take care of myself."
"If you keep walking around you'll get dizzy!"
"Well I'm trying to hurry so we can leave! Isn't that why you're here?!"
"Well yeah but you can't help me find the jewel shards if you're too dizzy to even walk!" shouted Inuyasha.
'He's not even worried that I'm bleeding. That cold hearted numbskull.' Kagome gave him a glare before she walked away and grabbed a towel and applied pressure, yet again, to her head wound.
"Is it done bleeding yet?"
"Inuyasha! It hasn't even been five minutes! Patience!" snapped Kagome.
"I don't know what your deal is, but you need to calm the hell down!" shouted Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha I fell and cut open my head, got soap in my eyes, and got bruises all over me because of you and all you care about is those stupid jewel shards! Have some respect and realize that I'm in pain right now!" shouted Kagome. She walked out of the room and locked herself in the bathroom. 'That idiot' she thought. 'I got hit with a heavy ass pole and it cut my head open and he doesn't even care!'
Thirty minutes passed and the bleeding stopped and the wound began to heal slowly. She applied antibiotic cream to help the healing process. She got some of the blood out of her hair, applied a bandage, and walked back to her room. He was gone. She walked downstairs to the living room. "Where did Inuyasha go?" asked Kagome. "He went back to his time. He said you were too angry so he just left." said her little brother, Souta.
"That little…!" said Kagome as she barged outside, and into the wellhouse. "Ohhh he's gonna get it when I get there. Ohhh the beatdown of a lifetime." said Kagome to herself. She jumped into the well and was transported back into time. Tears welled up in her eyes. "That idiot. Doesn't he know I've had a bad day already?" she said as she wiped her eyes. She climbed back up the well and walked back to Kaede's village, about half a mile away. She reached the village and walked into Kaede's hut.
"Good morning, Kagome!" said Miroku and Sango. A good morning indeed. Kagome shrugged off the thought and smiled back.
"Good morning Miroku, Good morning Sango." she said. Shippo jumped into Kagome's arms. She laughed and hugged the little kit. "Good morning to you as well, Shippo."
"Kagome, ye seems bothered. Are you ill?" asks Kaede.
"No, I'm fine." said Kagome, feeling the bandage that is covering the wound which was now a bump. "I just fell this morning and hit my head is all."
"No, ye look distraught." said Kaede. "Did Inuyasha do something again?"
"Just forget it, he's not worth talking about right now." said Kagome, who eyed Inuyasha, sitting in the back corner of the room.
"Feh, it's not my fault she got a booboo and turned into a bitch."
"Inuyasha! Watch your mouth!" shouted Sango. All eyes were on Kagome. She looked shocked. Did he really just call her that? Is that what he thinks of her? She got an angry look on her face and walked over to him. She grabbed him up by his kimono with surprising strength for a girl covered in bruises and pinned him to the wall.
"Oh I'm a bitch? I'm a bitch now? After all that I've done for you, I'm a bitch? I am always loyal to you, I always trusted you, and I'm a bitch? Because you decide to barge into my house and demand that I leave MY OWN HOME TO HELP YOU, I'm a bitch?" She let go of his kimono and looked at him in the eye. He looked shocked and worried. "I don't think you realize the sacrifices I give to help you. I've cried for you and over you so many times. I let someone shoot me with an arrow so you didn't have to suffer, and I'm a bitch? This stupid jewel of yours is going to take you away from all of us, it's going to turn you into a monster and it will make you forget everyone you ever cared about. Even Kikyo." her voiced started to crack. "and even when I know that I still show up here everyday to help you find the cursed jewel, because I'm loyal to my promises and to my friends. And I'm a bitch? I always come here and bring you food and water, I always cook your favorite meals even when I don't have to, but I do it for you and my friends...and I'm a bitch? I watch you leave your friends to go see Kikyo while you know how much it hurts me, and I'm a bitch? Thank you, Inuyasha. I'm glad to know that's what you really think about me. A jewel shard detector and a bitch. Thanks." said Kagome as she began to cry.
"K-Kagome. I didn't-"
"Don't." said Kagome and she left the hut and stormed off. He let her go. Again. There was a long silence in the hut before Sango broke it.
"You really messed up this time." said the demonslayer. Inuyasha just hid his eyes under his bangs, sat down, and looked the other way. Sango got up and gave the bowl back to Kaede. "Thank you, Kaede. It was delicious. I'm going to check on Kagome." said Sango. Kaede looked disappointed and nodded with a smile. She left and Miroku and Shippo followed. There was another long silence.
"I hope ye realized the damage that has been done…" said Kaede with her eyes closed. "Ye have a lot to learn, young man." Inuyasha said nothing. He was ashamed of the man he had become. He did indeed have a lot to learn. For the longest time, he was rude to everyone. Even his friends. The reason is still unknown, but Kaede was right, he did have a lot to learn.
Kagome walked through the forest, and reached a small waterfall that dropped into a pond. Around the pond was a small field of grass with flat stones surrounding the edge of the pond. Kagome sat down on one of the rocks and cried.
"Why do I even bother with him. What did I do wrong?" said Kagome to herself. Sango approached her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Kagome…don't let his foolishness get into your head. You're better than that." Kagome looked up at her and wiped her tears away.
"Do you think I overreacted?"
"Of course not! He had no right to call you that!" said Sango. Miroku and Shippo sat down next to her and rubbed her back.
"It's okay, Kagome. I think by now he got the hint that he needs to start treating you with respect." said Miroku. Kagome nodded and smiled.
"Thank you all. I love you guys." said Kagome.
"We love you too!" said Shippo.
"How is he?" asked Kagome.
"He seemed kind of in shock. He didn't say anything the whole time."
Inuyasha was reliving the moment Kagome was shot with an arrow. He remembered when she looked up at him, smiling. She told him that he would be okay. He walked the life slowly fade away from her eyes. He remembered when he was poisoned and she let him lay on her lap. He remembered when he told her never to come back, and she managed to come back, even without the jewel shards. He remembered the look on her face when he was caught with Kikyo. How could he call her a bitch? What did she do to deserve that? Her head was bleeding and she still came to his time. He felt horrible. He buried his face in his hands and let out a deep sigh. A single tear dropped onto the floor.
'Stop yourself, Inuyasha. Real men don't cry.' he thought to himself. It was a couple minutes later when Sango, Miroku, Shippo...and Kagome walked in. They all sat down around the fire Kaede set up. Inuyasha was in the back corner, staring at Kagome. 'I have to say something to her. I can't just let this one go. Man...I really messed up.' thought Inuyasha. It was a long while of thinking before Inuyasha got up and sat in front of Kagome.
"Kagome…" said Inuyasha. He took her hands in his and looked her in the eye. "Can we go outside and talk?" asked the hanyou. She looked at him for a long moment before she sighed and took her hands back.
"Let's go, I guess." said Kagome, as she walked out of the hut, slamming the door in Inuyasha's face. I kind of guessed that he deserved that one and shrugged it off. He opened the door and shut it behind him. "Well?" asked Kagome.
Inuyasha walked up to her and pulled her into a hug.
"Kagome, I didn't know the damage that word could cause and I didn't mean to call you that. I'm...I'm sorry." he said as he nuzzled his nose into her hair. She pushed him away and looked him in the eye.
"You have to be kidding me." said Kagome.
"W-What?"
"You're just apologizing just so I won't be mad at you anymore! Oh my gosh, Inuyasha you're ridiculous!"
"Kagome I really am sorry! How often do I say that?!" asked Inuyasha.
"Not enough! And you've never meant it!"
"But now I do! I really felt bad for what I did!" said Inuyasha, he put his hands on her shoulders.
"Inuyasha...how am I supposed to just let this go? You've said a lot of mean things to me...a lot of times…." Inuyasha's eyes saddened as he looked at Kagome with her head down. She was crying. "...and it all just sunk in when you called me that. It made me realize that you don't really care about me the way you act like you do. You only need me as someone who can find jewel shards. You don't care about me the way that I care about you." said Kagome. Tears were dropping to the cold ground.
"Kagome...I do. I promise."
"But you don't. You're meaning to tell me that you feel bad for every time you insulted me these past three years? You're telling me that you never meant to call me a wench or an idiot multiple times a day? You're telling me that you dont only pretend to care about me in every way, but that you actually do care? How am I supposed to believe that Inuyasha? I just don't get how someone could be so mean to someone who gives their all for them. I gave my all for you, Inuyasha." she began to sob. She put her hands above her face as she cried. "I've done nothing wrong. I'm not a bad person to you. Why do I feel like I've always failed when I'm around you?" asked Kagome. Inuyasha began to tear up at the sight of her in this shape. He pulled her into a tight hug and layed his face on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry. I really am." said Inuyasha. Kagome didn't hug him back, She kept her hands on her face. She knew no matter how sorry he was, he would still go back to the same old Inuyasha. But she wasn't the one he loved. So she didn't have the power to change him like that. She hugged him back.
"It's ok...I forgive you." said Kagome. She felt him hug her tighter. He nuzzled her neck and shoulder even more. She felt something warm on her clothes where his face was. He was crying. THE Inuyasha was crying…FOR her?
"Thank you...thank you so much." said the hanyou.
