Chapter 3

"So Inuyasha, what do you think?"

Inuyasha turned to look at the black haired beauty that stood before him. The dress had done wonders to her figure and it had taken everything Inuyasha had to pull his eyes away.

It had been a long time since a woman had brought fire to his soul lighting it up as if it were made of gasoline. This woman came on board just a day and a half ago and he could already feel his emotions go soft towards her. Not only did she make him melt but she also pissed him off to no end. It was a circle of emotions that never ended; he couldn't take it anymore he could not go through this again.

'Damn train needs to get to Kyoto already'

"Keh, it's a dress" Inuyasha finally stated not letting Kagome know how he really felt about it, he has to keep his guard up after all.

Kagome rolled her eyes at his simple and more than obvious statement and proceeded to take a seat next to him. He looked bored, but his facial features screamed that he still had some fight left in him always searching for a way off his own personal prison.

"Inuyasha?"

"Yeah"

"Uh n-never mind"

Inuyasha turned to look at Kagome, confusion and curiosity was evident on his face, making him look like a lost puppy. He stayed silent though not pushing the young woman for some answers.

Kagome was just about to tell Inuyasha of the gift she had stolen for him while she was in town, but ultimately decided that now was not the right time and that it would have to wait.

Kagome finally stood from her position on the seat next to Inuyasha to go back to her usual spot next to the window, but before she could start walking away Inuyasha gently grabbed her wrist and a blush came to his cheeks as he said, "your dress is pretty." And he quickly dropped her hand, looking as if he was having an inner battle with himself and went back to his bored position with a slight look of irritation.

Kagome now wore a bright red face to go with her new clothes. She smiled, said her thanks, and continued to make her way to her new destination. Where she plopped down and almost immediately felt her phone go off indicating that she had a new message. She dug through her bag looking for the crusade technology that had always brought her thoughts back to Tokyo, but for one reason or another Kagome just could not seem to let go of the item. It was all she had, after this there would be nothing left. The green blinking light brought Kagome back to reality as she flipped her phone open and closed her eyes, hoping to gather enough courage to open at least one of the several unread messages. She had to get this over with, she couldn't keep ignoring the situation or it would never go away. Kagome took in a deep breath and opened her eyes to the messages awaiting her.

'Come on babe answer the phone we have to talk'

'Please forgive me'

'Hey beautiful, I love you'

'Kagome come home'

The messages continued on in this fashion making Kagome's eyes swell with tears that refused to fall. She wasn't about to go home not after going this far, she had already seen him leave Tokyo anyways, recalling when she had seen him at the train station. She grew angry at that thought. How could he beg for forgiveness afterhe had already left town? Kagome decided she didn't care enough to know as she slammed her phone shut and shoved it in her pocket, maybe just maybe she would actually send him a message back sometime later. It would not be a very nice message, but one to hopefully get her point across.

Kagome let out a sigh of relief at the thought of being in Kyoto soon, where she could finally call Sango and let her know that she had left town. Sango would be furious at her for not saying goodbye, but she would also be under standing as for her reasoning, that much at least made it much less scary to make the frightening call.

She brought her hands up to her temples all this stress was making her head throb. Then she remembered a trick that she taught herself a long time ago when she had to deal with the daily stresses of living with her grandfather. All she had to do was get her mind off of the topic causing her tension, so she looked out the window at the fields of grass and flowers flying by, the blurs of their colors making beautiful almost watercolor type scenery. The last memory that Kagome holds for this particular day was the sun setting in the horizon.


Kagome bolted awake as the train non to gently jolted to the second stop of the three day trip. The woman rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and wrapped her scarf around her shoulders for more protection from the wind coming through Inuyasha's open window.

It was the dead of night and Kagome feeling like she needed to get out of the train for awhile packed up her bag and headed for the sliding doors, but they were being guarded by a certain half demon.

"Excuse me Inuyasha, I need some air."

"Where the hell do you think you are going? If you go out there you will be slaughtered, we are in demon territory." Inuyasha replied firmly pointing towards a sign outside by the tracks.

'CAUTION-Demon territory'

Kagome looked down at her shoes embarrassed for almost having left the train without having read the big yellow sign. She turned to go back to her original place by the window and put her bag back down. That's when she heard a loud screeching noise of metal on metal and quickly turned searching for the noise. Inuyasha had opened the emergency hatch on the roof; he looked toward Kagome sending a look of invitation before jumping up out of their compartment.

'He left? But he never leaves.'

The realization dawned on Kagome and she sprinted to the hole in the roof looking through it frantically looking for the man with silver hair, but she could not spot him. Kagome climbed on top of the bench next to her and hoisted herself up through the hole mentally telling herself that it was time to work on upper body strength. She pushed those thoughts away for now and continued her search for the half demon. He could have easily jumped off it's not as if the train was moving, but then again he was part demon and could have jumped off at full speed without a second thought. Worry started to creep its way into the woman's mind until she saw a hint of silver making its way back to the escape hatch. Relief flooded through Kagome knowing he was still around and when he finally made it back he had brought a loaf of bread, some kind of small sandwiches, and some water to drink.

"Here eat this." Inuyasha instructed and threw her the bread. Kagome clumsily caught the loaf in her hands and looked at it as if it was an alien.

"Damn it Kagome, it is called bread."

"I know what it is!" Kagome scrunched up her face showing that she was insulted by his comment. "I just…why?"

"You wanted to eat didn't you?"

"Yes! Thank you." Kagome swiftly replied with a slight bow of the head before taking a bite from the loaf of bread. After several minutes of silence between the two, Kagome could no longer take it, she had to ask. "I thought you couldn't leave the train?"

"I can't step foot on the ground, but that doesn't mean I can't wonder the train. Hell woman why do you think people take time to avoid me?" Inuyasha smirked, amusement apparent in his voice. Kagome not wanting to find out what he does to scare the passengers decided not to answer that question even if it was rhetorical.

After the pair had finished their meal, Inuyasha jumped back down in to the cart and called after her.

"You have 10 minutes before the train takes off."

Kagome sighed and laid back down on her back watching the stars, they were much brighter out here in the open. In Tokyo all the lights and skyscrapers made it impossible to see them at night. It was nice having the wind blow and a clear sky, it made her feel free. Until once again her phone buzzed ruining the moment. She pulled the devise out of her pocket and read the newest message.

'I am worried about you, please come back'

The young woman looked at this message, go back to whom? He had already left, she saw it herself. She was done with Tokyo and most of everyone in it, there was no way she was going to go back and with that Kagome lobbed the phone as hard as she could. She watched it land in a puddle of mud several feet from where she was at and one again the small green light lit up signaling another message had been received.

Kagome sighed a sigh of relief at finally having the dreadful piece of technology away from her, it was as if a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders, she could truly start a new now in Kyoto.

That's when she heard the train's breaks release from the tracks and slightly move forward, indicating that it was time to crawl back through the escape hatch, but a small pink shine caught her eye. There was a woman who was racing to the train desperate to get on board. She was waving her hands shouting to stop. This woman had long black hair and was wearing what looked to be a red and white dress, but what had first brought her attention to this woman was the small pink pearl she wore around her neck. It seemed to call to Kagome and looked as if it had pulsed a few times. Kagome crawled towards the edge of the train in a trance; she had to find out what that necklace was. She kept her eyes fixed on the pink circle until suddenly a hand wrapped around her ankle and pulled her back into the train.

"What the fuck are you doing?!" Inuyasha yelled. He wrapped his hands around her arms and looked at her desperately. Kagome shook her head clearing her mind; she didn't know what had happened. Inuyasha was furious at her silence, his eyes glazed over red and his claws dug into her skin drawing blood, but as soon as the first blood drop hit the floor, his eyes went back to a golden honey as he brought her into his arms calling her stupid.

After a few minutes Inuyasha let the woman go and went back to his seat making sure she first saw his look of apology.

'Maybe now is a good time to give him his gift'

Kagome excitedly skipped to her bag and swiftly dug out the expensive necklace, she unwrapped the packaging and let the object hang in her fingers. It looked worn out, like it had been sitting in one spot for far too long, but that couldn't be she just got it yesterday. The wooden beads looked old and stained and the paint was chipping off in several places.

'It just needs a little cleaning, that will do it!'

Kagome made her way to the small bathroom in the back, it wasn't much only held a small sink and toilet, but it was better than nothing. She stepped inside the enclosed space and shut the door behind her.


"Would you do the honor of bearing my child?" a man with a small black pony-tail asked a random female. His only answer was a slap to the face earning him a red handprint as a souvenir.

'There are so many beautiful women here, but I have been rejected by all of them.'

How could this happen to him, in Tokyo he was king, girls would swoon over him left and right. This…this was just wrong, but it didn't mean he couldn't look. The man eyed each and every woman on board, eventually falling into his own little fantasy.

"Oh Miroku, you're so handsome. Please bear my child."

"No Miroku, bear mine."

"Now now girls, there is enough to go around please be patient I will get to each and every one of you."

Just as the man was about to advance to his first target a woman's scream brought him back to reality. It sounded like it came from the cart right behind him, but isn't that The Cart, the one everyone avoided?

"Oh no."
