Chapter 2
Without you
------------------------
The sunlight was shining bright in the morning. People were having a great weekend, spending time with their friends and laughing as they splashed around in the water. You could hear the birds singing and the radio blaring on as loud as possible.
I groaned in my sleep. My thoughts were groggy and I couldn't remember what had happened last night. I sat up in my bed and found that I had a bad migraine. "Ahhhh!!" I moaned in pain. My hands went up to my head bringing the covers that were around me up to my head as well. By my right temple was a throbbing pain coursing through my veins.
I didn't hear my bedroom door come open until I heard a soft whisper, "Kagome?" It was my little brother Sota. He sounded uncertain and didn't know what to do. My response was a moan. I lifted a hand and pointed towards the window, hoping he understood what I wanted.
When I heard his shuffling footsteps I smiled slightly. I heard the drapes slide shut and I lifted my head out of the covers cautiously. My head was still throbbing painfully and I still couldn't remember what I did before today. The darkness helped my head from bursting open. I sighed contently.
"Kagome? Are you okay?" Sota asked cautiously as he slid down onto the edge of my bed. I looked at him with a small smile on my face and nodded slowly.
"Sota could you get me some Alive please?" He nodded and said he'd be right back and ran out of my room. I fell back onto my pillows and thought about what had happened last night. Try as I might nothing came to mind all I knew was that I was outside and that I fainted. What happened? I contemplated all the possibilities. Was it thundering? Did I get struck by lightning? Did I hit my head too hard?
All these thoughts went through my head as I waited on Sota to return with the pills. I heard not far off the front door to the house open then close. The sudden noise made my temple pulse against my skull. I took a sharp intake of breath and let it out slowly through my nose. Why did everything have to be fucking so loud? I cursed at the door.
Sota then came in with a box of pills. I smiled gratefully at him as he handed over the painkillers. He handed me a glass of water that he brought from the kitchen. I swallowed them and slumped back down.
"Where's mom?" I asked Sota wondering why she wasn't here to check up on me yet. She usually over does it with the taking care part when being a mother. Sota looked at me and started thinking back to where mom said she'd be today.
He snapped his fingers, "She went to the drugstore. Said something about getting some rags and more painkillers for you. Oh and she told me when you woke up to tell you to start coming home in the mornings rather than the night." When I only looked at him in confusion he rolled his eyes. "Duh Kagome. From when you come back from Feudal Japan. When you jump through the well." He looked at me in disbelief as my face stayed confused. "You can't tell me you forgot about Inuyasha."
At the sound of his name my temple throbbed. I put two fingers to it and started making soothing circles. Inuyasha? Why did that name sound so familiar?
Then everything came pluming down on me like cold water. I started remembering everything about last night. To spying on Inuyasha and Kikyo all the way to me wishing on the goshinboku tree to take me back home and to never go back through the well again. I looked up at nothing in particular, I guess I got my wish. Maybe Inuyasha will be happy since he won't have to choose between us. I gave him his decision for him because, truthfully I loved him enough to let him go. There's a saying that goes " If you love something, you need to let it go and if it came back, it was yours." I smiled yes, I loved Inuyasha that much and if he didn't come back then that meant he wasn't mine.
I sighed sadly, he would never come back though. He couldn't if the well was now closed and besides he had Kikyo to look after now. I knew Sota was waiting for a reply from me so I said quietly, "I'm staying home now."
With that I pushed the covers off of me. Went to the bathroom turning on the shower and wept silently as the water fell on me. My tears mingled with the water and I slid down to my knees letting the water rush down on me. Over and over one thought went through my head, Life's going to be horrid without you Inuyasha.
*********************
When mom got back home my migraine had gone away. It was only stinging slightly shocking me for a second before going away. My mom said it would go away in time. I told her about what happened only leaving out the thing about Inuyasha and Kikyo. I just made something up about how some kind of youkia was chasing me and I did what I did and made a sort of wish on the God tree. She knew when I was fibbing but she didn't push me any further. Seeing that I wasn't in a good mood and didn't feel like talking about it.
Everyone left me alone throughout most of the day. They let me wander around the house like a zombie. Sota tried a couple of times to get me to go outside and play soccer with him but when he saw I wasn't going to be moving from the couch he stopped. Mom tried to get me to go out and go shopping with her for new clothes. I refused politely and continued to just stare at the TV set, which was off. When Grandpa came in to talk to me he just said, "If you're going to be sitting there staring at the TV at least turn it on and pretend to be watching." I had blinked in surprise at that and had gave him a small grateful smile. When he saw a reaction out of me he smiled too and left afterwards. I did what he said and turned on the TV, not really watching it.
Later my migraine was gone and we were eating at the table. Usually everyone was more lively at the table but seeing me the way I was it was quiet and tense. Every time I made a move to get my fork or to lift my hand to eat, everyone was watching me carefully as if they needed to make sure I didn't go through some kind of decision and go to my zombie state. By the time I made my third bite I had lost my appetite.
"May I be excused?" I turned to my mother who was trying to act like she was eating and not watching me. She smiled a little and nodded her head in confirmation. I sighed silently as I walked upstairs to my room. When I closed my bedroom door I flopped down on my bed and thought about Inuyasha and the others back through the whale.
Shippo, my heart clenched as I thought about how hurt he would be. He probably just lost another mother because of me. I let a tear slide down, my poor baby Shippo. Sango, my best friend ever. My throat clogged up at the thought of her. She was as close to me as a sister could get. Miroku, I laughed a little at the thought of him but my stomach churned at the thought of not seeing him again. He made everything more exciting for everyone. He kept the peace between us all. Inuyasha, my heart bled for him. I tried to smiled through my tears, I hope he has a good life with Kikyo. The last thing I remember thinking before I let sleep take me was that I'd never be able to love again.

Whew. I think chapter two was great as well as chapter one. I put in some feelings here and there. I think I'm getting better at these stories, oh and by the way I have a new story I'm going to be posting up. It's only one chapter so I'm guessing it would be like a one-shot I'm not sure but you gots to read it though...and review it. It's called Best Friend. (I don't think that would be called a one-shot).
Well anyways I got chapter two finished and I hope to get chapter three updated on either Saturday or Sunday if I have it all put together quickly. So I hope you enjoy my stories I've been writing. Until next time ppls. ^_^
