Hey people! Thanks again for the reviews and adds. There was some confusion about the plot of the first chapter, so here it is if you're confused. Kagome doesn't know who Inuyasha or any of them is, she just thinks they're knew students. They all can pass through the well. So yea. If there's any other questions just let me know!
So things pretty much went back to normal the next day, except for staying in the village with a complaining Inuyasha. They'd had to tie him up because he was thrashing too much, and hurting the people who tried to treat him. "Dammit! Let me go!" he yelled again from the room. Kagome rolled her eyes. Shippo was laughing at him through a crack in the screen. At least he seemed to be enjoying himself.
"Kagome? Would you mind taking a walk with me?" asked Sango. "Ummmm, sure," said Kagome. They walked onto the path. It was silent for a while as they watched the men do farm work.
"Kagome⦠are you feeling better today?" asked Sango. "Yea. Why?" asked Kagome nervously. If they'd been spying on her she was going to be mad. "Well, we saw you crying, and we were wondering if you wanted to go home," said Sango. So they had been spying. She'd deal with that later. "No! I'm perfectly fine now! I want to find Kikyo, since it was kind of my fault she was captured, since I didn't grab her," said Kagome. "You did nothing wrong Kagome. You did what you could, and we're surprised you could defend yourself at all against such a powerful demon," said Sango soothingly.
They heard a boy scream. Sango froze in her tracks. A boy with a blueish gray kimono on and black hair in a ponytail ran out of the trees. "Kohaku!" screamed Sango and ran towards the boy.
Did she know him? He looked a lot like her. Maybe he was someone from her village.
His leg was badly torn up, and he was covered in sweat. "Stay away from me!" he yelled and threw a machete-looking thing at her. It barely cut her cheek. "Kohaku? Don't you recognize me?" she asked. Her voice was shaky, like she was about to cry. He just stared at her. "Sister," he whispered, and he doubled over in pain. "Kohaku! It's okay. I'm here. Naraku won't hurt you anymore," said Sango soothingly.
Suddenly, about six whirlwinds crashed threw the trees. A woman on a flying feather came after them. She had the same aura as Naraku.
"We'll take back Kohaku now," she said and jumped off of her feather. "Over my dead body," Sango said through her teeth. "If you insist," laughed Kagura and said, "Dance of the dragon!" The whirlwinds came from her fan, blowing Kagome and Sango away from Kohaku. The woman grabbed Kohaku, and flew away on her feather. "Get back here Kagura!" yelled Sango.
Everything was quiet. Sango sobbed and punched the ground. Kagome patted her shoulder. She didn't know what to say.
A little imp then came through the trees. "Ah! We lost her my lord!" he said in a screechy voice. A man with long white hair came strode out from the trees. Behind him was a little girl.
"Are you alright miss?" asked the girl and ran over to Kagome and Sango. Sango sobbed again. "Of course she's not alright you stupid Rin!" yelled the imp. "I wasn't asking you Master Jaken!" said Rin over her shoulder. "You, woman. That boy, do you have any connections to him?" asked the man. His voice was low and smooth.
Kagome nodded. He was a demon from the looks of him. So was the imp, but the girl was human. Strange.
Kagome saw a red kimono leap in front of her. "What are you doing here Sesshomaru?" he asked angrily. It was Inuyasha. His hands were still tied behind his back. "I should ask the same to you," said Sesshomaru and drew his sword. "And why are your hands tied behind your back half-breed?" asked Jaken.
"Kagome! Untie me!" ordered Inuyasha. "No! Your wounds still haven't had a chance to heal!" Kagome replied. "Pitiful. Relying on a human to save your life," said Sesshomaru. "You're one to talk! This little human girl saved you when I almost killed you!" said Inuyasha. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed and he said, "Jaken, we're leaving." "Coming my lord!" squealed Jaken. Rin looked back at us with concern, and followed the two demons.
"You guys alright?" asked Inuyasha. Kagome was about to slap him across the face, when Miroku came. "Sango!" he said and crouched next to her. Sango jumped into his arms, and cried. He put his arms around her. At least he wasn't being lecherous right now. Even he's not that stupid, or cruel.
"Inuyasha, there was a woman who came to get Kohaku, and she had the same demonic aura as Naraku," said Kagome quietly. Inuyasha stiffened. "What? Did you ask her where Kikyo was?" he asked urgently. Crap. She probably should've done that huh? "Well, no I didn't. But even if I had, she probably wouldn't have told me anything," said Kagome. Inuyasha have her a dirty look. "Stupid wench. You can't do anything right, can you?" he spat. "What? So you think I'm useless?" she yelled at him. "Yea! You're just dead weight I have to carry around all of the time! And every time a demon comes, I have to come and save you! You are useless!" he screamed into her face.
"Inuyasha!" yelled Miroku sternly. "What?" Inuyasha snarled back. "Do not blame Kagome for what happened with Kagura! She is overwhelmed enough, and you yelling at her all of the time is not helping her with anything! I'm surprised she's not fed up with it!" Miroku said loudly.
Kagome's eyes were burning with tears. "Whenever Kikyo comes into the subject, it's always my fault! Well if I'm such a useless piece of trash, let's see how you deal without me Inuyasha!" cried Kagome. She stood up, and stomped off. She heard the yelling continue behind her.
It was sundown, and Kagome was gathering her thoughts. She was finally fed up with Inuyasha. Her face was stained with tears. They were even more noticeable with her dirty face, because they left tracks.
She hated Kikyo. She hated Inuyasha. All those things he said the night before were lies. He didn't care about her, he cared about Kikyo.
"So, he abandoned you for Kikyo," said a voice. Kagome turned around, and saw Koga. He had a different outfit. A skirt made out of fur, and some thin armor for a "shirt." He didn't have shoes, just bandages.
Kagome froze. Wasn't he in the village last time she saw him? How'd he get here so fast? "You know, I wouldn't say any of those things about you. I never did," he said and strode over to her. "What the hell are you talking about? Yes you did! You said worse things too!" yelled Kagome. "Okay, so I messed up, big time. But that's the past, and I'm willing to change for you," he coaxed.
Yea, and pigs will fly and I'll live happily ever after with Inuyasha in our castle. Which is pretty likely compared to what he just said.
"Please Kagome. I love you," said Koga. Her eyes narrowed. "How many times have you told me that, then gone and done something bad to me right after?" asked Kagome. He winced. "Exactly. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going home," said Kagome.
Only problem was she didn't know how to get to the well. And it was getting dark. And she saw Inuyasha and the others coming back. "Please Kagome! If they see me here, I'll be dead for sure!" said Koga. "Hmph. Fine with me," said Kagome. He growled.
"Wolf! Get away from Kagome before I have to come over there!" yelled Inuyasha. Koga stared at him for a minute, and burst out laughing. "Why the hell are you in chains? Did the little fox get mad at you or something?" he laughed.
Inuyasha grumbled at him, and looked at Kagome with pleading eyes. She crossed her arms, and turned so her back was to him. "Fine. Kagome, if you ever want me back, just call," said Koga and kissed her quickly.
Everything was quiet. Kagome wiped her mouth off. Sango wasn't crying anymore, but she looked terrible. Miroku was holding her closely. Inuyasha was trying to get his ropes off his wrists, but they were tied tight.
"Kagome, will you play with me?" asked Shippo. Kagome smiled and nodded. Good, something to keep her mind off of Inuyasha.
Kagome awoke from the moonlight on her face. She yawned, and noticed a shadow outside of the screen. It was Inuyasha she thought, from the points on the head. She probably should go talk to him, even though she didn't want to.
Sure enough, it was him. When he saw her, he looked down at his feet. Kagome sat on a step. It was quiet for a long time. It felt exactly like last night, just different circumstances.
"Why aren't you in bed?" asked Inuyasha quietly. Kagome shrugged. "Just woke up," she said. Another awkward silence.
"You know I don't want you to leave," said Inuyasha. She looked up at him. "But maybe I still want to," said Kagome. He clenched his fists together, his knuckles turning white. "I'm so sorry. It's just, I want to find Kikyo so much, I took it all out on you," he said. "You didn't take your anger from her out on me. I really am just dead weight, and we both know it," muttered Kagome. "No, you're not," said Inuyasha and sat next to her. She looked away.
"Koga asked me if he wanted me to come with him, and I almost did," she said quietly. "You what?" said Inuyasha angrily. "But I didn't. And I was leaving when you came. I could've just ran off into the dark, but I didn't. I stayed, and I don't know why. I think it's because, I want to stay here with you Inuyasha," said Kagome. She heard him suck in a little gust of breath. "So I'll stay," she finished. "Kagome," whispered Inuyasha. "But don't think that means I have forgiven you completely yet," she said and leaned against him. He leaned back, and laughed quietly. "Thanks, Kagome."
