Chapter 1: The Beginning of the End
Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kilala
wandered through the forest, making their way to Kaede's small
hut. Naraku had finally been destroyed, and everyone was
overcome with Joy.all except Inuyasha. He had done the
unthinkable during his fight. He had slain Kikyo. His once love
had now fallen by his own hands. Kagome could sense the grief
surrounding him, but she said nothing. She didn't think there
was anything she could say. Besides, she had her own problems to
worry about. Now that Naraku was destroyed, she had no more
reason to stay in the futile era. The Shikon Jewel had been
completed, so she wasn't really needed anymore. She looked sadly
up at Inuyasha. ^Would he even care if I left?^ She wondered
inside her head. She then scolded herself. ^OF course he
wouldn't! Why would he care about a stupid girl like you? He's
too worried about Kikyo.^ Her thoughts were interrupted when he
caught her staring at him. "You gotta problem?" He growled at
her. "I'm.sorry." She muttered before moving back to walk with
Sango and the others. This left Inuyasha to walk by himself at
the front of the small group. They walked in silence through the
forest, each busy with their own thoughts of what they would do
now that Naraku was dead. Nightfall came before they could reach
the small village. "I suggest we make camp." Miroku announced.
Inuyasha immediately jumped into the nearest tree and perched
there. With everyone except Inuyasha helping to set up camp, the
job was done in no time. "Do you want some dinner, Kagome?"
Sango asked the younger girl. "I'm not really hungry, I think
I'll just go to sleep." Kagome mumbled sadly. Sango thought she
caught a tear in her friend's eye, but she kept quiet. Kagome
began setting up her sleeping bag next to the fire. Shippo
bounced over to her, landing pertly on her sleeping bag. "What's
wrong, Kagome?" He asked. Kagome stared down at the sweet
kitsune. She put on her best happy face and replied. "Nothing's
wrong. It's just been a long day." "Okay." Shippo said slowly,
moving out of the way. Kagome curled up in her sleeping bag and
closed her eyes, knowing full well that she wouldn't able to get
to sleep. Inuyasha watched this odd behavior the whole time from
his branch. He totally ignored Miroku, Sango, and Shippo. Their
joy was getting on his nerves.but that was just because he didn't
share their glee. ^Why is she acting so strange? Everyone else
is so happy, but she seems upset about something.^ He thought.
^Could it be.? No, she couldn't possibly be upset about Kikyo.
What could she possibly be thinking about?^ Inuyasha continued
to wonder this long after everyone else had fallen asleep. He
soon found himself falling into a deep sleep.a rare occasion for
him.
~~~~~ Well, that's it for chapter 1! Hope you enjoyed it! What was going through Kagome's mind? How will Inuyasha get inside her mind to find out? What's going to happen to the IY gang next!? Read on to find out.don't forget to R&R!!!
