Christmas break was now over and Kagome and Inuyasha were walking back. Of course Inuyasha had to go back to wearing the black wig... He was glad that he didn't have to wear it all the time. But the thing that made him happy the most was that Kagome had been safe the whole time. He was just glad for that since for some reason demons never really come out during the winter... Maybe they don't like the winter at all. Heck Inuyasha barley liked winter but since he was also part human he also sorta loved winter.
They walked in the slightly deep snow. It wasn't that cold out but it was still the kind of weather to wear a winter jacket. Kagome stared at Inuyasha as she asked "is something wrong Inuyasha?" He shook his head as he said "nope... I'm alright. Every thing's fine... So Kagome do you know who gave you that gift yet?" Kagome sadly shook her head as she said "no, not yet. But I hope I do soon. I really don't wanna wait to figure this out. I wanna know who gave this to me... Who ever it is has the other piece to this."
Inuyasha was a little shock as he asked "what do you mean?" Kagome calmly said "well... I saw this in the store and it was a two piece. This is a key to the other piece to it which is a heart. Who ever is wearing the heart is the guy that gave me this. But I guess that it won't matter... I'll never know who this guy is. Maybe he only gave me this as a joke... Maybe... I'm just not pretty enough..."
Hearing that made Inuyasha's blood boil. But in a way Kagome was right. She wasn't pretty... no... she was more than that. Cause to him she was beautiful... She looked better than a angel and a goddess put together. Of course that was his opinion. Without realizing it they had arrived at the school... All Inuyasha could think at the moment was... what a drag... (I know that line is said by Shikamaru from Naruto but hey... it works and I agree school is a drag)
Miroku and Sango were at the front doors waiting for them. Miroku also happen to have a red hand print on his face. Inuyasha and Kagome both knew why too. Once again Miroku rubbed again rubbed Sango's butt and she had slapped him... When will he ever learn? They went into the school to start the day. And as always it was still VERY boring. And the key word there was boring. But the only good thing is that they didn't have to do work since they just got back. All they did was talk about what they got from their families and friends for Christmas and what they did.
It was now lunch time and everyone sat at their table. Kagome had made ramen for everyone. Since it was still cold out and ramen was a hot meal it seemed perfect. Besides everyone loved Kagome's home cooking. They even thought one time that she should be a chief someday. Kagome blushed though and told them that she wasn't that good. And of course they told her that she was a awesome cook. But sadly their meal was ruined when a certain someone walked up to them.
Inuyasha glared at Koga as he said "what do you want?" Koga calmly said "I want my woman." Kagome rolled her eyes as she said "Koga, I see you as a friend, and a friend only. Please stop claiming me as your woman." Inuyasha smirked as he said "you heard the girl!" Koga glared at Inuyasha as he said "you better watch out mutt! A war will soon be coming and you'll never survive." And with that Koga walked away. Kagome was a little confused about that but than just dropped it. Inuyasha went back to eating his meal. He couldn't help it though. Kagome was a awesome cook. For her cooking was the only good thing he's enjoyed in the past 256 years.
It just reminded him of his mothers cooking. And of course that just made him miss her so much. He loved his mother cause she was the only person to care for him. Miroku saw his gaze and asked "something troubling you Inuyasha?" Inuyasha just shook his head as he said "it's nothing Miroku." Kagome looked at Inuyasha as she said "you sure?" All Inuyasha did was nod. He was in his own little world now. Thinking about his mother. It's been about over 130 years since she past away. Of course he couldn't remember when she past away since he was a kid but that it was around that time.
After school Inuyasha was walking somewhere. Kagome followed him as she asked "something wrong Inuyasha?" Inuyasha didn't respond. He just kept walking. Kagome stared at his face and saw that it was blank at the moment. His eyes held so much sadness and pain at the moment. But she knew that he wouldn't be talking soon. On their way to where ever Inuyasha had bought some flowers. And they kept walking. Kagome was still very confused at this and after a while they stopped at a hill close to the edge of the city. On the hill was a tombstone with the name 'Izayoi'.
Kagome stared at the stone and asked "who's Izayoi?" Inuyasha placed the flowers down as he said "my... mother..." Kagome stared at Inuyasha for a moment. She could still see the sadness in his eyes. And there was the way his voice sounded. It sounded so... sad... How long has his mother been gone? How old was he when she passed away? Just... just what affect did her death have on him? So Kagome calmly asked "she ment a lot to you... didn't she?" Inuyasha calmly said "yeah... My mother was always there for me... till she got sick and passed away... I was only a little kid at the time and I didn't quite understand why... till I found out... why she passed away like she did..."
Kagome stared at him as she asked "what do you mean?" Inuyasha sighed a bit as he said "cause I looked like I was six years old when I was a little over 50... She passed away of a few causes..." Kagome asked "what were they? Besides her being sick..." Inuyasha sighed as he said "she was old... sick... but she didn't die from old age or being ill... She was killed because she protected me..." Kagome could see the guilt in his eyes now... Why hadn't she noticed that before? She couldn't stand to see Inuyasha like this... It almost made her cry...
So she did the only thing she could, she wrapped her arms around him in a hug saying "it wasn't your fault Inuyasha... Your mother wanted to see you safe. That's all a mother cares for... The safety of their child... It was never your fault Inuyasha... I never was... Never blame yourself about her death... ok?" Inuyasha was touched by her words... Tears were in his eyes but he wasn't going to let them fall... He didn't want to appear weak to her... not now anyway... They stayed there till the sun was starting to set. So they had to get home since it was getting dark out now.
On their way back Inuyasha started to sense something. He wasn't sure what it was at the moment but he didn't say anything. Of course he didn't want Kagome to worry either so he didn't say anything. But the feeling of danger was getting stronger and stronger. Just what was going on? Why was this feeling getting stronger? Was it after him? Or Kagome?.... Or worse, the Shikon Jewel that was within Kagome's heart. Then there was a voice saying "hello Kagome." They both turned around to see Koga. Why was he here?
Kagome calmly said "what are you doing here Koga?" Koga zipped by and appeared in front of Kagome saying "I'm here to take you away from the mutt." Kagome sighed as she said "Koga just leave me alone! I like spending time with Inuyasha and your my friend and that's how it'll always be." Koga then grabbed Kagome and pulled her away from Inuyasha. This of course made Inuyasha mad, for his eyes started to flash to red and back to gold. Koga stared at Inuyasha and asked "what's the matter mutt? Are you that mad?" Inuyasha growled as he said with a deeper voice "you let her go!" Kagome was a little shock at hearing how his voice just sounded. What was wrong with him?
Koga laughed as he said "why should I take orders from a half breed? I'm just taking what's mine!" Kagome was trying to get out of Koga's grip, but sadly that wasn't working. Inuyasha's eyes just kept flashing and his voice was getting deeper. Well more like his growl. Koga showed Inuyasha his fangs as he said "just watch me take Kagome mutt. Cause once I mark her you can't have her anymore." Than Koga's fangs were getting closer to Kagome's neck. Kagome was trying to figure out what 'mark her' ment. But she had a feeling it was bad. But before Koga could do what he was gunna do, Kagome felt Koga's presents have been moved.
When she looked she saw that Koga had gone flying to the wall while Inuyasha stood next to her. At first she was grateful at seeing Inuyasha till she noticed something different about him... His eyes were blood red with ice blue pupils, purple jagged lines on his cheeks and longer fangs and claws. Seeing him like this scared her... Just... just what happened to Inuyasha and what will happen to him now?
ok here's the new chapter! this only took me a hour or 2... man I'm the master!!!! ok I'm being a show off anyway in the next chapter Inuyasha is going to kick that mangy wolfs ass! and sorry to all those Koga fans but I just don't like him cause he needs a life... How do you wish for Inuyasha to return to normal? for this is going to be another contest! Vote if you want Kagome to use the key that's around her neck to "unlock" Inuyasha's heart... OR for her to do something else like kiss him but that was used in the second movie so what about embracing him and begging... anyway you have a week and that's all I'm giving cause I'm not very pashent til next time
