The Fairytale That Never Happened

Chapter 6


It has been ten days since we met Miroku and Sango. I have to say that they are the most liveliest couple I've seen in a while, if you understand my meaning. We were all happily living at an abandoned hut in the village while Kaede was at the Healer's hut getting looked after. She was getting better every day, and the Healer, Ms. Alina Konaka, says that Kaede should be back on her feet any day now, which brightened up my spirits considerably.

On this particular day, I was leaning against a tree in the forest, but my peace was disturbed when a girl's scream echoed throughout the air. I grabbed my bow and arrow without thinking and ran off. I knew Inuyasha would be mad because he always said "Tell me when you're leaving!" but I didn't even think to do that today.

Anyway, I ran at the speed of light towards the source of the screaming and found a girl in strange clothes with black hair and chocolate brown eyes (YES KAGOME'S EYES ARE BROWN NOT BLUE! .LOOK AT A PICTURE!) staring fearfully at a snake youkai who threatened to bite her head off.

She then saw me. "Help me!" she mouthed and I didn't think twice before releasing my arrow on the youkai, who was instantly purified and destroyed. I sighed and walked over to her.

"Daijoubou?" I asked.

"Hai. Arigatou," the girl added.

"You're welcome," I said. "What's your name?" I asked.

"Kagome," she answered. "Yours?"

"Kikyou. Would you like to come to the village?"

"The village? Oh, arigatou for asking me! I just... arrived here out of nowhere and don't know my way around," Kagome said.

I looked at her strangely. Could she be from a different time, or a foreigner perhaps? It's possible, with the things I've witnessed in life.

"Come, and I'll lead you to the vill-" I was cut off.

"Kikyou!" Inuyasha's voice called out to me. I turned and saw him running towards me with Sango and Miroku on Kirara. "Where were you?"

"I was here helping this girl who was under attack," I told him. "I am fine, do not worry. The girl... Kagome is her name, is fine as well. She was just about to accompany me to the village."

Kagome seemed mesmerized by Inuyasha. Her eyes widened upon noticing the inu ears upon his head. I sighed. "Kagome, he's-"

"I know," she sighed. I blinked and so did Inuyasha. "I know he's a hayo, I don't care, either. I've read about them in my History class at school. I know a bit about them. But I've never met one. So, today's my lucky day." She walked over to Inuyasha. "My name's Kagome Higurashi." She took out her hand.

"Inuyasha," he said and shook it. I smiled lightly. I have a feeling those two were going to be very close friends, almost like ototo and onee-sama.

Was I jealous?

Possibly...
