Disclaimer: I Do NOT own Inuyasha or the songs that I used in the title.
Hope you all enjoy. This is one of my favorite FFs I've ever written. I have several chapters done already. But I want to see how the first one goes.
Chapter 1: I'll Walk
Inuyasha sighed once again as he could almost hear Kagome's anger, due to the amount of sheer anger that was radiating off of her at the moment. She was riding on Kirara's back with Sango. It had been three years since Kagome came down the well. She was twenty years old and defiantly developed in to a stunning woman.
Her hair was longer and she allowed her bangs to grow out, now they reached her neck; she currently had all her hair was pulled into a high ponytail. She no longer wore her school uniform, considering the fact that she graduated a year ago. Shockingly she didn't graduate bottom off her class. Her last year of high school, Inuyasha had been nice enough to "allowed" her to go back to school more often. Plus her mom bought her a iPod to download all her teachers studies on so she could take it with her.
Today she wore a hunter green V-Neck T-Shirt and a pair of blue jeans with white sneakers. Inuyasha loved that shirt. It was tight and showed off all her curves, but was still practical. Ofcourse he wasn't the only one that loved Kagomes new wardrobe. Koga and Miroku loved it as well. Her cheekbones were more defined due to her loss of baby fat, her face was still sweet and innocent, but had a more mature look to it. Her breasts were larger, going from a 34 C to a 38 D. Inuyasha as well as everyother man had defianetly taken notice to this, causing Inuyasha to become more protective of her. She was thin, toned, sun kissed, and currently extremely pissed off at a certain Hanyou.
"So how long do you think she's going to stay mad at me?" Inuyasha asked is faithful monk friend, Miroku. Miroku could only sigh. "Well Inuyasha, you did spend the night with Kikyo. That does look pretty bad." Inuyasha glared at the monk.
"How many times do I have to say that I did NOT spend the night with her? I went to find Kikyo but her scent completely disappeared! She had to have taken off with her soul collectors!" Miroku held his hands up defensively. "Hey! Don't be mad at me. I believe you; you need to go tell that to Kagome."
Inuyasha shook his head. "I don't see why she still cares." He muttered. Miroku could on shake his head. Inuyasha slowed down until he was next to Kirara. Sango gave him a "she'll kill you" look. But Inuyasha was oblivious. Sango only looked at Kirara as they both shook their heads in pity.
"Kagome, can we talk?" Okay, he approached the conversation calmly. So she'll return the favor, right? "Go away you jerk. I have nothing to say to you. I don't detect any jewel shards so leave me alone." Inuyasha gulped at the amount of venom in her voice. He had to be strong though. He thought for a moment. It was a ballsy move, but it had to be done.
Inuyasha grabbed Kagome off of Kirara's back and ran off, all while Kagome is screaming and cussing at him. He finally let her down in a nearby cave. "Move Inuyasha!" Inuyasha continued to block her. "Not until you listen to me! There is no reason for you to be acting like this!" He growled. "Nothing happened!"
Kagome stopped moving and looked at him, arms crossed over her chest. Her stormy blue eyes glared up at him. "Your eyes say something completely different." She tried to hold back her tears. She knew that as soon as she released them, Inuyasha would comfort her and she wouldn't be able to stand her ground. She hated this. Three years she had spent side by side with him. Her support, love and loyalty had never waivered. God knows how many times she had been taken, possessed, and threatened to betray Inuyasha, she never did. She'd rather die than hurt him. But now she finally realized, they feelings were not mutal. He spent the night with Kikyo. And then he didn't even have the balls to admit it. She couldn't stand looking at him anymore. Her heart was broken and she didn't see it being fixed anytime soon. She pushed him out of her way and started walking. "Kagome stop! I don't understand why you're so upset." He grabbed her wrist. She looked at him and said, "I'm going for a walk. Let go of my hand. Right now I'm hurt, and you don't understand. So just be quiet, and later we will talk. Just leave me alone, don't worry. It's just a walk." And with that Kagome walked out of the cave and into the forest, leaving a stunned Inuyasha behind.
About five minutes later, the rest of the gang showed up. They all opted to make camp in the cave since there was a sign of a storm. Miroku looked over at Inuyasha who was sitting at the entrance, looking at the forest. "Inuyasha, could you help me get some firewood?" The monk asked, obviously with other intentions than collecting firewood. Inuyasha knew this, and usually he would have told the Monk to fuck off, but he, for once, needed someone to talk to. So, the Hanyou nodded and followed Miroku.
"So I guess she didn't take it too well?" Miroku stated while he followed his friend into the woods. Inuyasha sighed. "I didn't get to explain myself; she said she knew something happened, and that she wasn't going to talk about it right now, then she left. Stupid wench, she never lets me explain anything." "Inuyasha, what did happen between you and Kikyo?" Inuyasha looked to the ground. "I told her…goodbye." He sighed. Miroku stopped, shocked and in disbelief as to what he had heard. "What?"
Inuyasha growled. "I told her goodbye! She told me to join her in hell or she was gone. So I kissed her and said goodbye." Miroku was still stunned. He always believed that, in the end, Inuyasha would follow Kikyo to hell, leaving a broken hearted Kagome behind. "Why did you not go?" Inuyasha feh'd, trying to be tough, but the blush on his face didn't make him look too intimidating. "Why do you think? Naraku is still here! I have to destroy him. And besides, I couldn't leave Kagome here on her own. With no one to protect her besides that mangy wolf, Koga." He muttered the last part, but Miroku heard him. "Inuyasha, you know how emotional Kagome can be, she'll be fine and be back in an hour." Inuyasha nodded, knowing he was right. "I just don't understand why she got so worked up. She acts like we were mates." Miroku only shook his head as they headed back to the cave.
Inuyasha punched the ground of the cave, startling the group. It was nightfall. Kagome had been gone for more than 4 hours and now it was storming. Inuyasha was fed up and worried about her. "That's it! I'm going to find her, you guys can come if you want, I don't care." Sango sighed. "How are we supposed to see? Shippo, Kirara and Inuyasha are the only ones with night vision." Shippo smiled. "I know! Kagome's light sticks!" Shippo rummaged through Kagome's bag and found two flashlights. Then the group all nodded and braved the storm to find Kagome. It wasn't going to be an easy task, the rain made it nearly impossible to catch her scent.
Inuyasha growled and punched a tree. "KAGOME!" He yelled in frustration. Dawn was breaking and the rain was slowing down. The still found no sign of Kagome. Shippo was sleeping on Kirara's back. Miroku and Sango were exhausted, dark circles around their eyes, but they were determined to find kagome. Suddenly, Inuyasha and Kirara stopped. Kirara whimpered, and Inuyasha's eyes grew wide. "What is it Inuyasha?" Miroku asked, trying to stifle a yawn. He didn't get an answer instead Kirara scooped the couple up and followed Inuyasha as he took off faster than anyone has ever seen before.
Inuyasha's eyes were welling up with tears. Blood, a lot of blood, and it was Kagome's. He could smell her scent, but it was mixed with the scent of death. 'No, please no. She killed the demon that's all.' He prayed. His prayers weren't answered. There was kagomes body, lying in the clearing. Her body was slumped over a rock, blood turned the green grass around her a reddish brown. When Kirara landed, Sango gasped and her body went limp. "Sango, stay here and keep Shippo back." Miroku said as he headed towards Inuyasha.
Inuyasha dropped to his knees next to the motionless body that was Kagomes and he, ever so gently, rolled her over. The sight was enough to make Inuyasha loss all control and begin to cry. Kagomes face was covered in scratches and dried blood. Her shirt was ripped and in the middle was a giant wound. It looked as though someone or something had tried to slice her in half. "Kagome no. P-please w-w-wake up." He whimpered. Miroku placed a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder. He knew he was supposed to keep a level head and bless Kagome, but his heart was broken. This was his friend. She was everyone's friend. And she was laying there, dead. Miroku looked away. And in doing so, Sango knew that Kagome was gone. She fell to the ground, Shippo in her arms, and began to sob.
"Kagome! WAKE UP!" Inuyasha shook her gently. He knew that it was no use. She was gone. He picked her up and put her in his lap. "I'm so sorry." He choked. Everyone, including the now sobbing Shippo, gathered around and cried over the loss of their best friend, their mother, their sister, and their love.
After about an hour of crying, Shippo and Sango had passed out. Miroku sat next to Inuyasha. "We should bury her Inuyasha." Miroku knew that that was not what Inuyasha wanted to here, but it had to be done. Before long demons were going to smell her and come looking for her body. Inuyasha flinched. "I want to take her back to Kaede's, so she can have a proper service. She didn't deserve to die alone. And I'll be DAMNED if she's going to be buried without everyone there." Inuyasha picked her up and Miroku woke the others up and got on Kirara's back.
Inuyasha couldn't believe it. She was gone. He told Kikyo that he couldn't go with her, because Kagome had his heart. And now, Kagome was gone, before Inuyasha ever got the chance to tell her. And he knew it was entirely fault. All because he let her walk.
