Homesick
Kagome's POV
It was much quieter after what happened. Hikira wouldn't eat and Inuyasha wouldn't look at us. Plus, I really missed my family.
If I did go home, if I could, I didn't know if I would go back. I would have to leave while everyone was sleeping.
I was handy with a bow and arrow so I would take the bow and 5 arrows. I decided to just put then inside a tree till I would leave.
No one was sleeping yet, but Inuyasha and Hikira stayed as far away from eachother as possible. Hikira was probably talking to herself and Inuyasha was probably throwing things into the small lake nearby.
I grabbed the bow and arrows when they were out of sight, I slowly crept into the forest. I was trying to be as quiet and light as possible. I sprinted to one tree, and then the next, looking out for anything.
Even though I didn't want then to, I wondered if Hikira or Inuyasha would come after me…
No. They did the same thing everyday. I've been pretty lonely for the past week. I began to climb a tree when I felt something. It was tickling my ankle.
I slowly climbed down on my worn out sneakers that I've been wearing for days. Yeah, I'm in a kimono with sneakers on. But desperate times call for desperate measures.
Anyways, I looked down to see a small cat that kept on sniffing me. I crouched down and lightly pet it. It hesitated a little but then let me continue petting it.
I slowly got up and began to walk away. I felt another nudge on my leg. The cat was following me. "Okay" I said. I picked it up and checked its gender. Female.
I held the cat in my arms. "Nee" I said, giving it its name. (Yeah, Ariel, I know. I didn't have any idea's though :P)
Nee fell quickly fell asleep in my arms. Though a small car couldn't protect me, I felt safer. Time went by and as it got darker, I got more tired.
I decided to take a break for the night. I'd continue walking in the morning. So, I climbed a tree with Nee still sleeping. I sat down on a spot where it'd be hard to fall off. Though it wasn't very comfortable, I managed to fall asleep.
Inuyasha's POV
I stared at the sky, the stars shining brightly like they were that night. Something was weird though. Instead of seeing Kikyo or other pictures, I saw Kagome. It was either a picture of her laughing, or her face, or sometimes even her mad face, which, honestly, I kind of liked.
I decided to head back home. I figured that talking to Kagome would probably take my mind off of things. She was probably lonely. I felt like I needed to apologize. I didn't even realize how selfish I was being.
When I got to the tree, all I saw was the fire burning. "Kagome!" I yelled. She didn't reply. I understood that she was probably upset with me.
"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to…be so…selfish. I'm just going through a lot right now." Still no reply. I walked around the whole area and couldn't find anything but Kagome's clothes hanging on a tree. They still had their wonderful scent.
I sat in front of the fire, holding her dress and, what she called them, leggings. She left. I couldn't stop her from going home. I also knew why she wanted to leave.
The last conversation we had was about Hikira and that boy. She eventually convinced me to let them see eachother. I hadn't talked to Hikira since that night. And it was even talking. I was just yelling at her while she cried.
Kikyo would know exactly what to do. She would know what to do and what to say. Then I finally realized something. I didn't spend enough time with Kikyo. I wouldn't do that to Hikira.
I thought about Kagome again. I was only hurting everyone. I got up and dashed through the forest. Kagome couldn't have gone far.
