Chapter 2
Inuyasha fell to his knees, his eyes following Kagome as she disappeared into the trees. His eyes drifted down to rest on the beads that lay in the grass.
How can I say that? It was all lies. I'm such an idiot! How could I say that when I know it hurts her so badly?! She's nothing like Kikyo, she's better, smarter, stronger, and more beautiful and I will never deserve her. I really am a worthless half-breed; she'll never forgive me…
Inuyasha simply sat there as the rest of his group began screaming at him.
"You idiot! Why would you do that to her! She's given everything up for you! You're a monster!" Screamed the small fox demon. Shippo continued to yell and run about throwing things at him.
"You bastard." Sango said simply walking away. She knew if she stayed anywhere near him, she would beat him to a bloody pulp.
"My friend, I don't know what's caused all of this trouble, but with the way things are now I don't know if Lady Kagome can forgive you again." Miroku placed his hand on his shoulder and pat him gently before walking away to attend to the fire. Inuyasha just stared down at the ground, choosing not to reply to any of them. He knew the moment he said something all hell would break loose.
He pulled a small leather pouch from his kosode and began to pick up the remaining beads lying around him. Shippo had taken Kilala to follow after Sango. No one seemed to notice at the time that kagome had left her big yellow bag back at the campsite they all assumed that she would return for it soon.
An hour past with Inuyasha simply sitting there in the grass, Miroku tending the fire and Sango out there with Shippo and Kilala.
Another hour passed them and it wasn't long before it had become two then three and finally after four hours past. Sango returned to the camp to notice that she had still not returned. "She hasn't gotten back yet, and she couldn't have just disappeared; we're too far from the well. I think we need to start looking for her."
"Sango my dear, she will return when she's ready, Kagome simply needs time." Miroku said as he turned to lay by Sango near the fire.
