Inuyasha
Its Only Jealousy
Genre: Romance/Humour
Summary: Kagome gets fed up when instead of having a picnic with her, Inuyasha runs off when he senses Kikyou in the area. So, in a mood, she returns to her time period. The next day, a new boy named Kyouhama Takao joins her class, and…he's funny, charming, handsome, caring, smart and an excellent athlete and as you guess, decides to hang out with Kagome. Though, when Inuyasha comes looking for her, wondering why she returned forever without telling him, he only finds her holding hands with Takao and blushing. It seems Kagome has developed a small crush and maybe Takao has also. As they say, our favourite hanyou gets his just desserts when he is the one feeling jealous this time, but will he stand Takao around Kagome without ripping said boy into pieces, or will his stubbornness and arrogance prove to end his platonic romance with Kagome?
Pairings: InuKag MirSan TakKag
There will be a poll. If you review, say who you want Kagome to go with. I might just throw Koga in for the heck of it. My gut feeling says it'll probably be Inu for everyone, right? Poor Takao…
Chapter One-Returning Home
"Oh Kagome…"
"AH!"
Sango blinked and arched an eyebrow as Kagome blasted the door open. She then gulped and backed off a bit as the black haired girl stormed in, hands balled up in fists and teeth gritted together. As she walked briskly by, her figure tense, Sango noticed the tears sparkling in her brown eyes. Sango inwardly groaned, bringing her hand to her forehead. What on earth had that hanyou done now?
She brushed past Sango, knowing she would feel guilty for scaring poor Sango, who was probably already scared by Miroku's unusual actions lately, but at the particular moment in time didn't really give a damn. He'd done it again. It was also even more humiliating that she had asked him out to a picnic, practically a date. The baka half demon hadn't noticed her red face and stammering and had easily shrugged and complied.
As soon as he had gone, Kagome had paraded around the room happily at her achievements, and now this! She bit back her tears by clamping her teeth to her lower lip, making it bleed with the force. Not that it really measured up to the emotional pain she was being put up to now, but it still hurt.
He'd gone off to find Kikyou, for the third time this very week. Everyone time he even mentioned the name 'Kikyou' in a tone he never used with Kagome, her heart cracked and she felt like bawling and screaming over and over, yet she didn't…for both their sakes. And frankly, at this moment in time, she'd really had enough of mister 'wise ass' and his antics. Heck, he even called her the 'shard detector' and though it hurts she just pretends it doesn't affect her. Now, she was tired of the baka hurting her feelings, so she was running back to her time, to be able to throw herself at her bed and sob. Not that our hanyou friend would care right? She sighed as she knelt down next to her yellow bag, gathering her items.
"Child. Are ye sure ye are making a correct choice?" An elderly voice asked. Sniffling, Kagome wiped tears from her eyes in an attempt to look strong at the elder miko Kaede, younger sister to Kikyou, who Kagome was reincarnated from.
"Yes I'm sure."
"But Kagome…"
"I can't…please understand…I just can't cope with it…not now at least. I mean…I know I'm being a selfish fool and disregarding the fact that I was only here to retrieve the fragments of the shikon no tama…I wish I hadn't broken it, you know…then…then I wouldn't have stayed around Inuyasha long enough to fall for him. Please…tell Sango-chan that I wish her well in saving Kohaku and that she's always been like an elder sister to me. Tell Shippo I'll always be his mother and will always love him. Tell him I want him to be strong. And tell Miroku that I really want him to get rid of the wind tunnel and stop being so…you know…"
"Ah child…ye sound like ye utterance belongs to a will." Kaede replied in a hollow laughter. Kagome groaned and rubbed her head.
"Yeah, yeah…And tell Inuyasha that…his 'shard detector' is going forever…or a very long time and that…can you remove the rosary?"
Kaede stared solemnly, before nodding slowly.
"Yes. A simple incantation would do the removal."
"Hai," Kagome said as she strapped her bag onto her shoulders and stood, half glancing at Kaede, "and you know…you've always been like my teacher watching over me, teaching me, helping me settle and I wanna thank you for that Kaede." The response was a weak smile and another in return.
Kagome began to walk, brushing locks of hair behind her ears, before she halted. Kaede stared at her in a puzzled manner.
"What keeps you child?"
She turned to the elderly woman, grinning agonisingly, "I have to say goodbye…"

The hanyou was sitting in his favourite tree, perched upon the long branch. His ears twitched when he heard a rustling and turned to see Kagome appear from the bushes, smiling at him. He raised a brow and immediately jumped down, arms crossed and eye lids drooped. Kagome's smile faltered. He was giving her that look again…
"What's with the pretend smile wench? Something's wrong." He stated gruffly, yellow meeting brown. Her hands tightened to fists but she remained smiling, cocking her head to the side and pretended to act unhampered. Oh why ever did she return to him? It would be even harder now and more tears would definitely be spilt…if she had any more left over…
His eyes widened when he smelt and witnessed salty tears welling up in her eyes and immediately froze, arms dropping and his questioning and unconcerned look vanishing without a trace. "Wha? Kagome? Ah I…n…DON'T CRY!" She looked shocked, but swiftly wiped the tears from her eyes and gave him a merry laugh.
"Oh don't worry, just had something in my eye!" Inuyasha glowered and Kagome felt nervous. God she was such a baka…of course he would not believe her…he wasn't as foolish as Hojo and her friends…
She nearly squeaked as he harshly grabbed her wrist, bringing her towards him. Her eyes widened to see an emotion glittering in his eyes, but before she could decipher what it was…
'Feh. She's just a shard detector, nothing else.'
She bit her lower lip and snapped her contact with Inuyasha, before pivoting around and storming off. What on earth was running through that mind of hers, she was just a shard detector to him, nothing more. Why was she here saying, or trying to say goodbye and not to Sango, Miroku or Shippo? She really hated herself right now, but was too concerned about getting away from Inuyasha, who we know is a very fast half demon.
She was abruptly halted as he jumped in front of her, an unusual expression gracing his features. She blinked and then scowled, putting on her stubborn face. "What on earth is your problem? I said I am fine! What do you care anyways?" She added mentally. Inuyasha scowled back and crossed his arms again, not being driven crazy by the smell of her salty tears.
"What is up wench? I ain't that stupid!"
'But you're oblivious.'
"Are you challenging my patience Kagome?"
'All those laughs…promises…smiles…were they just fake?'
"Don't space out on me KAGOME! Look at me wench!"
'Did I even hold a place in your heart as Sango, Miroku and Shippo do? Am I not even your friend?'
"Feh, stupid wench."
'Apparently not…'
He stiffened and backed away when he saw tears developing in her brown eyes again. With a frantic expression, he began to make many 'What-do-i-do?' motions. "Gah! Stop! DON'T CRY OR I'LL…I'LL…GET KIKYOU TO...TO...TO..!"
For heaven sakes, he even mocked her when he was trying to stop her crying and THAT was not something she could even bother to cope with. She took in a deep breath and sweating Inuyasha backed away, scared puppy dog look on his face and hands protectively in the air. Alas, though his face was so adorably childish at this time, she was very much too pissed to take note.
"Inuyasha. OSUWARI!"
His usual yelp could be heard as the rosary around his neck lit up and he ate the dirt, while a very cheesed miko stormed off, her nails digging into her bag strap as she did.
When she reached the well, she heard Inuyasha lurking in the trees a mere distance away and sighed, running a hand through her long black hair. It would be the last time to see the unscathed land of the feudal era, so she surveyed it and gave a small smile, before walking the remaining distance to the bone eaters well. Not that she knew it would be easy…
"Where you goin' wench?" Inuyasha huffed, jumping down in front of her. She narrowed her eyes, too weary to fully display her temper, though she had a massive urge to 'sit' him until his body created a whole as deep as a house was high.
"Home." She stated in a monotone voice, pushing past him and his red haori. He paused, blinked, and then regained his stubborn and 'I-need-no-one' look.
"Keh, bloody wench…if Kikyou was here, she wouldn't have to make all these useless trips…AND she wouldn't whine about goin' home and her arrows would definitely hit the target, not to mention she'd do it with elegance."
Oh ho ho, that was IT.
As usual, Inuyasha regretted his words a second after they came out of his loud mouth and a fearful expression on, he awkwardly stretched a hand out to Kagome, who was facing away, hands knuckled to fists and her body shaking. He could smell the saltiness of her tears. God he was such an ass. He didn't mean to yell at her, but he didn't like it when she went away. Her scent would go to AND he would weaken in battle. But because of his pride he couldn't say 'I don't want you to go away from me' he always brought up Kikyou and he knew it hurt her being compared to herself in a way. "Kags…I'm…"
"OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI!..."
Many minutes later…
"…OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI!"
Amazingly, Inu was still alive and Kagome had said all of it in one breath.
Panting, she nodded in approval, before jumping into the well, leaving Inuyasha in what would be a two hour sleep.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"You had that coming." Sango uttered as she watched Kaede apply herbs to Inuyasha's bruised body. Said Inuyoukai 'keh'd' and cringed as the healing process of the herbs began. Sango rolled her eyes at the hanyou, before letting them drift to Miroku, who winked at her. She inwardly shuddered, deciding looking at paint drying would be much more satisfying. The usual innocent smile had been replaced by lecherous looking things directed at Sango and in stead of feeling flattered…which she was every time he did something like try to kiss her…though that came second to embarrassment and unexpectedness which would result in him getting a slap. Now, she was just creeped.
"Oh…I have depressing news for ye." Kaede sighed, settling herself down. All eyes except Inuyasha's went to her. "About Kagome." Now the hanyou's eyes were intently plastered on Kaede. She hid a chuckle, but then turned solemn. "She's returned back to her era…"
"Feh, I know she has…I got the full force of her temper, y'know?" Inuyasha grumbled, pointing to himself. Kaede shook her head and Sango rolled her eyes again, while Shippo glared at Inuyasha and Miroku smiled his innocent smile.
"…Forever." Their eyes widened and Inuyasha's heart must have stopped, as he turned to fully face Kaede, eyes fully open and his mouth open. Sango, recovering from the initial shock first, immediately glared accusingly at Inuyasha, who didn't even gulp, as the thought of Kagome never being by his side again sunk into his mind.
"YOU!" She raged, standing up and pointing at Inuyasha, "THIS IS YOUR FAULT YOU INCONSIDERATE JERK!"
"Sango…"
"DON'T STEP IN HENTAI MONK OF THE HIGHEST ORDER! THIS IS BETWEEN ME AND DOG CRAP!"
Miroku blinked in puzzlement at Sango's new nickname for the hanyou sounded like she had been spending time with Koga, but remembering she could be scary, he sunk into the shadows, Shippo following soon after. Kaede exited the room, searching for something from the sounds of it, but it was deafened by Sango screaming 'Hiraikotsu!' and the loud sounds of banging could be heard, but for some reason, not screams.
Kaede returned to the room to find Sango panting, her giant boomerang next to her, cross-legged on the floor, Shippo and Miroku sitting nervously behind and Inuyasha…was a state. His amber coloured eyes had lost their gleam and even his silver hair seemed to lose its shine. He was staring at the wooden floor, blankly, eyes wide and mouth slightly open. Though everyone saw the hollowness in his eyes and involuntarily, Kaede shivered.
But then, he did look up, the expression never leaving his face, when he noticed something in Kaedes' hand; a white scroll which probably held some sort of charm. Kaede felt sad by how the arrogant hanyou had changed into a soulless one, but she had to respect Kagome's wishes.
"Inuyasha, Kagome asked me to remove ye rosary beads so you may never go through the well again and alas, it must be done." Time froze and everyone's breaths stilled when the hanyou looked down to the ground, unresponsive. And then stiffened when they heard his sharp and jagged breaths. And then, his head snapped up, his eyes flashing red.
"NO FOR BLOODY HELLS SAKE! I'M GONNA GO AND GET KAGOME BACK RIGHT NOW YA HERE ME YOU OLD HAG?" Not waiting for a reply, Inuyasha abruptly stood up, managing to glare at everyone in the space of a second as he sped off. Sango, face red from fury stood up, clenching her teeth and holding Hiraikotsu.
"THAT BLOODY HANYOU! HOW DARE HE THINK AFTER ALL HE HAS PUT KAGOME THROUGH HE CAN SIMPLY GO BACK AND DRAG HER BACK HERE! I DON'T REALLY GIVE IF SHE YELLS AT ME FOR KILLING HIM AFTER! HE IS DEAD MEAT!"
As a ranting Sango cussed about Inuyasha, Miroku, sighing and shaking his head, reached her level, grabbing hold of her shoulders when she decided she would go after him. Normally, Sango would have been red from the contact of Miroku, but she was red from anger at Inuyasha. "BAKA HOUSHI! DON'T YOU HAVE BETTER THINGS TO BE DOING THAN TRYING TO STOP ME FROM KILLING YOUR BAKA OF A FRIEND! HA! LIKE ASKING SOME WOMAN TO BARE YOUR CHILD? LET ME GO..!"
She was cut off when Miroku placed his hand over her both, depleting her anger and causing her face to redden.
"This will strengthen their relationship, trust me. Besides, you did see the impact knowing she left forever had on him?" He whispered into her ear. Letting out an exasperated sigh, she leant back against the Houshi, eye lids drooped.
"I know yet…he's always hurting her when he runs off to that walking clay pot and he's so oblivious to her feelings. But I just wish that he got a taste of his own medicine…" Miroku nodded and Sango closed her eyes, relaxing with the presence of Miroku comforting her, when she felt an odd sensation on a place she shouldn't be feeling that sensation, her eyes opened, half lidded. "And Houshi-sama." She said, her voice hinted with venom.
"Yes dear Sango-chan?" He asked innocently.
SLAP
"Don't think because of my rage towards that baka hanyou that I didn't notice you groping me." He smiled wistfully; stroking his sore cheek and Shippo sighed and rolled his eyes. Kaede inwardly groaned. She'd almost be in favour of Inuyasha's and Kagome's fights than have the antics of these two.
