KAGOME
"Miss Hgurashi, are you paying attention?" the teacher called, interrupting her thoughts.
"Huh?" Kagome's elbow slid off her desk, "Oh, sumimasen Sensei, gomen ne." (Excuse me/ pardon me teacher, I'm sorry-b.l)
"Can you answer the question on the board?" the teacher motioned towards the equation scribbled onto the black wall.
"Ah.....juugoyon."(54-b.l) she finally answered.
"Very good. But I would appreciate it if you paid attention in my class, Miss Higurashi."
"Hai, Sensei."(yes teacher-b.l)
It was only the beggining of the last class, and already she was spacing out. The teacher continued on with the lesson. But the rest of the day passed in a blur. She was still in a sort of trance as school ended.
"Kagome-chan!" Eri poked her.
"Eh?" Kagome looked around.
The bell had just sounded.
"Rise," said the teacher, "and bow."
###
"Hellooo? Kagome chan? Earth to Kagome-chan!!!!" Ayumi called as her friends caught up with her.
She was on her way home, and had too much on her mind.
"Huh? Oh hi you guys." Kagome smiled.
"What's wrong? You've been spacing out lately, and......" Yuka stared at her, finally having a good look at Kagome's face, "Oh Kami-sama Kagome-chan! What happened to your face?!"
Kagome sighed. She had gone over this story with her jii-chan before coming to school that morning. Her mother didn't want her to go to school, too many people would ask questions. So they had come up with this:
"Yesterday, I woke up and I was really thirsty. So I went to the kitchen to get myself some water. When I was going back up the stairs, I had another one of my fainting spells. When I woke up, I was surrounded by broken glass and I was on the floor." Kagome finished with an almost bored voice.
Her friends stared at her, shocked.
"Kagome-chan, you have to start taking it easy, you hear?" Ayumi lightly patted her shoulder, as if she would break.
'My friends are so gullible.' Kagome laughed inwardly.
They decided on walking her the rest of the way home, just in case she had another one of her 'fainting spells'. They talked about everything. Getting Kagome catched up on all the latest things, from movies, to music, to clothes.
"So....Kagome-chan....what ever happened to that two-timing boyfriend of yours?" Yuka asked.
Kagome stopped walking, but her friends kept going, not realizing that she had stopped.
(Flashback)
"Yes it is," he had said.
Inu-Yasha turned and shot into the air.
Kagome let go of Shippo who was still crying, and ran after Inu-Yasha.
She could see him in the sky, zooming ahead. He headed in the direction of the thick forest, Kagome plunged in after him.
"Inu-Yasha! Inu-Yasha wait! I-nu-Ya-shaa!" she cried.
She kept running, her legs began to burn. She was straining herself to keep up, but his figure kept getting smaller and smaller. She drew in a breath, a stitch in her side suddenly giving a painful jolt. Kagome stepped on a rock, which moved underneath the pressure, sending her crashing to the ground, into a bush.
She scrambled back up and looked at the sky.
He was gone.
Inu-Yasha was really gone.
She sat there, just staring up at the sky, not being able to believe that Inu-Yasha was really gone. Finally, she stood up.
She went back to Sango, Miroku and Kaede, defeated. Looking miserable. She took her things and told them she was going home.
"K-Kagome, are you g-going t-t-to be alright?" Shippo sniffed.
Kagome just smiled and placed a hand on the kit's head.
###
Kagome stood by the well, looking around. 'Please let him be here.' she silently prayed.
"Inu-Yasha?" she whispered, "Are you here? Inu-Yasha? Come out, Inu-Yasha." she looked around again. 'Maybe he didn't hear me.'
"Inu-Yasha?" she said a little louder, "Please, Inu-Yasha, come out. Inu-Yasha? Please!" tears began to work their way down her face, "Please Inu-Yasha! I-I forgive you! It wasn't your fault! I forgive you! Please Inu-Yasha." she whispered the last part."....please."
(End Flashback)
"Kagome-chan, what's wrong?" Eri was standing in front of her, "Are you ok?" her eyes were wide.
"Why are you crying, Kagome-chan?" Ayumi said appearing at her left.
Kagome put her hand to her face, and sure enough, her cheeks were damp from tears. She wiped them away with the back of her hand.
"Ano....right, I'll walk myself from here." she began to walk away.
"Are you sure Kagome-chan?" Yuka looked doubtful.
"Yes, I'm sure! I'll you tomorrow!" Kagome said, now walking backwards, waving goodbye.
"Ja....Kagome-chan?" Eri called.
"No really! I'll walk myself!" Kagome continued walking backwards.
"Watch out!" all three of them yelled.
Too late Kagome stopped to turn around. She smacked right into something solid and warm. Her first reaction was thinking it was Inu-Yasha. But no, Inu-Yasha was much more solid than whatever she had walked into.
"Hey, Higurashi!" Houjou said, putting his best smile on, "How are you?"
"Ja, I'm fine thank you." Kagome looked down at her shoes.
"Heh, ano...well....I was wondering if you would like to go to the movies with me this Sunday?" he looked at her expectantly.
"Well, Houjou-kun, you see-ah!" Kagome started as her friends dragged her away.
"Kagome-chan, you have to say yes!" Yuka shrieked.
"You have to, Kagome-chan!" Ayumi encouraged.
Eri stood there, fidgeting.
"But, you guys, doesn't Kagome-chan already have a boyfriend?"
"Oh ya," they chorused, "the boyfriend." and they let her go.
"But you could have said yes!" Kagome heard Ayumi sigh.
Righting herself, she walked back up to Hojou.
"Houjou-kun, I'm sorry. I can't go with you to the movies." Kagome looked at the ground blushing furiously at turning the Houjou down.
She looked up at him when he began to talk.
"Oh, that's ok. Maybe we could go some other time? Like next week? Or are you busy then too?" Houjou looked discouraged.
'Man, this guy doesn't know when to give up.' Kagome thought to herself. "Houjou-kun, the truth is, I already have-." she stopped.
Something red had darted through the trees. It had looked like Inu-Yasha's kimono.
Kagome ran past a bewildered Houjou, towards the trees. She was positive that it was Inu-Yasha, it had to be him. He was always there when she talked to Houjou, he usually threatened to hurt him if he hung around her. He was always there to-
It wasn't him. Kagome stared at the red kit that had gotten stuck in the tree. 'Where are you Inu-Yasha? Where are you?'
Without saying another word to Houjou or her friends, she made her way back home.
INU-YASHA
"She almost saw me." Inu-Yasha whispered to himself.
He sat perched up in a tree, hidden behind branches. Kagome had come so close to seeing him there. Thankfully (and ironically), there had been a kite to cover up his sloppy spying skills.
It was better to protect her without her knowing. It was better to protect her from far away.
But seeing her talk to that human boy really made his blood boil. And the worse thing was: He couldn't do anything about it. He clutched his Tetsusaiga, willing himself to calm down. With it by his side, he knew nothing could happen.
A cold hand squeezed his heart at the memory....
(Flashback)
"Yes it is." he remembered whispering.
He also remembered the look of hurt and despair that flashed across Kagome's face before he had turned and left. It would be safer if he wasn't with her.
"Inu-Yasha! Inu-Yasha wait! I-nu-Ya-shaa!" he heard Kagome's voice as she spead after him.
He could smell her anxiety, he could here her draw in jagged breaths, something obviously hurting her. He heard her fall, but he didn't stop.
Instead he shut his eyes and ignored Kagome. When he opened them, he realized he was far away. Far from Kaede's village.
Then he spotted a lake. He jumped in, making alot of noise. He scared a few animals that were near by, but he didn't care. He had never felt so unclean in his life.
Inu-Yasha tried desperatly to wash away the smell of Kagome's blood on from his body. But not her scent. 'Gods, don't let her scent leave me. Just the smell of her blood, but not her the smell of her skin.'
He remembered the few moments they had spent in the hut, right before the kitsune had interrupted them.
Kagome's skin had been so soft, her lips had been so hungry and wanting. He had pulled her closer, feeling her against him.
That had been on her own free will.
But what he had done......He had almost taken away her innocence.
"Kuso!"(Damn/damnit-b.l) he yelled, dunking his head in the water.
The coolness seemed to clear his mind. He would protect her from a distance.
###
He followed her to the well and watched her, she looked around. 'Why isn't she going down?'
"Inu-Yasha?" he heard her whisper, "Are you here? Inu-Yasha? Come out, Inu-Yasha." she looked around again. "Inu-Yasha?" she said a little louder, "Please, Inu-Yasha, come out. Inu-Yasha? Please!" the smell of tears began to fill the air, "Please Inu-Yasha! I-I forgive you! It wasn't your fault! I forgive you! Please Inu-Yasha." she whispered the last part."....please."
'Stay where you are,' he ordered himself, 'Stay-where-you-are.'
(End Flashback)
Inu-Yasha decided to follow her home.
He watched her go into her room and watched as she lay on her bed from a tree, hidden from her.
He jumped when he saw Kagome throw something at the wall.
It was a book. Followed by another. Then by her clock, a pillow, a doll, and finally the container with the shikon no kakera.
Kagome was now in the middle of her room, fully visible to Inu-Yasha, crying, shaking, and obviously furious.
He wished desperatly he could go and console her, but thought against it. Something inside him twinged as he watched her.
Every youkai instinct he had screamed at him to go to her. To go comfort his mate, to make her feel better.
But he again, stayed where he was.
KAGOME
It had been two weeks since he had left.
Kagome carried on as if everything was normal.
She would keep up a strong front in the morning, but would slowly crumble as night approached, finally breaking down when everyone slept.
As if sensing her mood, Miroku, Sango, Shippo and even Kirara had all avoided anything to do with Inu-Yasha.
Shippo was in peices, he had no idea his outburst would have caused Kagome so much pain.
Kagome swung her legs over the rim of the well to go back home. She sat there, letting the wind blow her hair out of her face, when she saw it.
A flash of silver and red.
Her heart began to beat faster as she stared at the spot where movement had been. She waited with bated breath.
Finally, Kagome gave into the fact that it was just her imagination playing tricks on her...like it had been. She jumped down.
INU-YASHA
He followed Kagome home, like he had been for the last two weeks.
This was slowly killing him, emotionally that is.
The group had stayed strong. Already they had aquired two jewel shards without him.
It was noticable that their group had weakened with the departure of the hanyou, but they stayed strong.
Everynight, Inu-Yasha could hear Kagome break down silently, crying, whispering his name. It was pure torture not to be able to protect her, when he was protecting her from himself.
He tried the best he could to defeat all the obstacles in their way. He killed all the youkai before the gang reached where it was waiting.
Inu-Yasha hated to admit it, but he missed them. All of them. Although Kaogme was only a few feet away from him, he missed her the most.
"Keh. Emotions. Eomtions are only for humans. The weak minded." he whispered.
"Stop damnit!" he quickly scolded himself, "Gods, I sound like Sessho-maru!" he shivered at the mere thought.
Inu-Yasha watched Kagome's oyaji and otoutou(little bro-b.l) leave, followed a few minutes later by her jii-chan.
He watched as she opened the door to her room and close it quietly behind her. She leaned against it, her eyes closed and hugging herself. She bit her lower lip, breathed out a shuddering sigh, and sat down at her desk. Then, she began to write something. What had she called it? Homework? Yes, no doubt that was what she was doing.
After awhile, she pushed a button on top of a box. A melody sounded from her room. She stood up and began to put her things away, humming to the music.
After tucking everything into place, Kagome began to dance to the music.
Inu-Yasha watched, transfixed.
He watched the way her hair danced in the light, swirling around her pale arms. He watched the way her hips as she moved them from side to side, watched every curve in her body move in time with the music.
Something from deep inside him began to react. At first, the thing was a quiet nagging in the back of his mind, keeping him from watching his Kagome. But soon, it rose up to the surface, impossible to ignore.
Mate.
He stood where he was on the tree, still watching Kagome's tantalizing movements, deciding whether or not to listen to this insticnt, when the music stopped, as did Kagome.
She giggled, obviously embaressed at her little private dance.
But Inu-Yasha wanted her to keep moving. He now wanted to move with her. Wanted to feel her curves beneath his hands, feel her move against him, wanted her scent to be all over him, to bond as one.
Before he knew what he was doing, he was at her window. He opened it and stepped before her.
Amber eyes met shocked brown ones.
"Inu-Yasha!" Kagome gasped running forwards and throwing her arms around him.
Inu-Yasha looked down at her a moment.
He caught her motuh in a kiss, enjoying the feel of her soft lips. Kagome gasped, well would have if he wasn't kissing her. He licked her lips, asking for entrance, and she opened willingly. He explored her mouth, every nook. He began playing with her tounge, savouring her taste, memorizing it. Inu-Yasha deepend the kiss, holding her against him, feeling her warmth all around him.
Inu-Yasha broke the kiss, breathing heavely, looking down at Kagome who was blushing madly. As soon as he had enough oxygene, he kissed her again. Kagome ran her fingers through his hair, stopping at his ear, slowly massaging it, letting the softness slip through her fingers. A vibration went through Inu-Yasha's body as he began to purr.
"You...purr?" Kagome asked breathlessly, pulling away.
To answer her, Inu-Yasha held her closer and purred a little louder, letting the vibration go throughout her body.
A small moan escaped her lips. Inu-Yasha began to trail kisses down her neck, nipping lighlty at her skin, licking the small wounds he left behind.
He hadn't realized they were moving until he felt a small resistance when Kagome's legs hit her mattress. He broke away from her.
'What am I doing? I could hurt her again.'
"Inu-Yasha," Kagome placed her hand on his arm, "I forgive you."
Inu-Yasha looked into her sparkiling brown eyes. He suddenly grabbed her and kissed her again, softly at first. Then he kissed her harder, more wanting, he ran his hands over her curves, then he slowly eased her onto the bed.
