Ch 9.

Kagome sat in class chewing the end of her pencil.

-Maybe I was too hard on him; after all I did dump him in the middle of the forest to chase after his brother-

She let out a frustrated sigh and tried to focus on what the teacher was saying.

#500 years ago#

Inuyasha was leaning against the old bone eaters well awaiting Kagome's return. He kept looking down at the small gold trinket in his hand.

Flash back

Inuyasha was sitting at the edge of his personal crater, and was now talking with a small blue creature with glistening silver wings.

"So all I have to do is pick a word I want to subdue her and this thing will do the rest right?"

"That's right"

Yumi's eyes misted over in a mischievous grin. She was still bound to that promise she made to Inuyasha, but there were a lot of ways to keep that promise and still have a little fun.

End of flash back

A sickening feeling slide down from his mind and settled in his stomach. Was this wrong? But what about this stupid necklace he wasn't a threat to her anymore why did he still have to wear it? Then he looked down into his custom-made three-foot hole.

-NO! She deserves this –

He closed his fist around the small charm digging his nails into his palm. He really didn't want to hurt her, but he made a deal with that pixie; it couldn't harm her, he made sure the pixie understood that. He just wanted to show Kagome how unfair it was for him to have to ware that stupid necklace.

Present

It was getting dark and Kagome was running around her house shoving things into her large yellow backpack.

–Let's see a few more bowls of Raman, a few candy bars for Shippou…-

She mentally went over her list as she continued to cram things into her bag.

She shoved in a few more bandages and forced the bag closed. She looked down at the pack satisfied with her work and headed down stairs to tell her family good bye.

"I'm leaving"

Kagome ran around giving her family a round of hugs and then ran back upstairs to get her things.

"Take care Kagome"

Kagome waved one last time to her family before jumping down into the old well.

-0000000000000000000

The walls were dark and dingy only a small hole in the ceiling allowed a beam of sunlight to shine on his otherwise shadowed face.

"He has the bracelet now my lord"

"Excellent soon that bothersome girl will be out of the way, and Inuyasha will be the one to blame…ku ku ku"

Yumi shifted uncomfortably on her knees as she sat in front of Naraku.

"Yes my lord now about my reward"

A wicked grin pulled at his thin lips.

"Of course Yumi, I have not forgot our deal"

He flicked a small pink shard over to the tiny pixie. She caught it in both hands clasping them together as not to drop it. She peeled her hands apart and peered down at the shining fragment

–Yes; with this I could finally rescue my brother -.

"Thank you Naraku"

The darkness swallowed the evil half demon again, his voice now floating out of he shadows.

"Remember Yumi; be careful what you wish for…ku ku ku"

She scowled at the shadows and turned quickly away from him and ran back out into the sunlight.

000000000000000000000

Kagome threw her bag over the edge of the well. It landed with a soft thud followed by an "Ouch!"

Kagome lifted herself up to peer down where her bag had just landed; underneath it was a white head with soft fuzzy ears.

"Oh sorry Inuyasha"

Inuyasha sat crumbled over; his clothes wrinkled and his feet and hands were dirty.

"Inuyasha were you waiting here for me all night?"

He mumbled something that sounded like "two days" then he pulled the bag off his head and stood up to help Kagome out of the well.

"What the hell took you so long?"

A frown pulled at her lips and a hint of sadness drifted into her eyes.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha I had another test; it took me an entire day to study for it"

He picked her up by the waist and set her on the ground, then grabbed her bag and threw it over his shoulder.

"Whatever, let's get back"

Kagome timidly followed behind him staring at his back mesmerized by the sway of his long sliver hair. – I wonder if he's still mad-

"Inuyasha…"

She waited for him to turn around, nod his head, something, but he just continued to walk.

"I'm sorry about all those 'sit' commands"

Whack on cue he fell face first in the dirt.

"I'm so sorry Inuyasha"

She knelt down beside him and waited for the spell to ware off.

"Kagome!" he growled with his mouth full of dirt.

"I didn't mean it Inuyasha… I said I was sorry didn't I"

She let out a deep sigh and blobbed down beside him.

"You know if you weren't so stubborn I wouldn't have to use that word so often"

"NANI!"

The spell had worn off and Inuyasha was now sitting next to Kagome.

"What the hell is that suppose to mean?"

Kagome just shrugged her shoulders, stood up and brushed off her skirt.

She picked up her bag and walked off toward the village. Inuyasha stared after her a moment before getting up to follow her.

-Stubborn… if anyone is stubborn it's her –

He folded his arms and stomped after her. His mind drifted to the small trinket of cold metal resting against his chest. – Just once I'd like her to know how it feels –

The rest of the evening was uneventful they all sat around the fire keeping an eye on the still recovering monk. Ever so often his hand would reach out and grab thin air and he would mumble something then fall back to sleep with a huge grin on his face. To the girls it was obvious he was feeling better; the boys were still clueless.

"Hey Sango; do you want to join me at the springs while the pervert is still out cold?"

Kagome held up a bottle of shampoo and a few fluffy towels. Oh how Sango loved the inventions of the future.

"Sure"

Kagome stopped just before stepping into the cool night air and turned around to look at Inuyasha as he sat in deep thought in his corner of the hut.

"Be good Inuyasha"

"What the hell is that suppose to mean"

Kagome simple smiled at him and walked out the door leaving him completely perplexed.

– Nani Kore –

The girls had been gone for over an hour now and Inuyasha was bored and getting more and more impatient

"Where the hell are they?"

He pulled the bracelet from his kimono and looked at it then shoved it back in and nodded.

- Tonight –

Inuyasha made his way silently to the springs where the girls were just now getting out wrapping towels around themselves. He quickly turned his head until he thought they were fully covered. He cracked open an eye in their direction and there they were wrapped in soft white towels just sitting on the edge of the spring talking.

He could barely make out what they were saying, it had something to do with Sesshoumaru which immediately made him growl, and Rin's name was mentioned a few times. He watched them a few moments longer. He pulled the bracelet out once more and wrapped his fingers around it.

– Here goes nothing-

"Kagome!"
