Chapter 25- Resolution
Inuyasha's outburst stunned her into silence, but Kagome quickly recovered. "So what happened then?"
"Keh. How am I supposed to know? I wasn't there for it," he grumbled. He looked off into the trees, outright refusing to look her in the eye.
Silence filled the area while Kagome tried to wrap her head around the situation. The lady said Inuyasha betrayed Kikyou, and he sort of admitted he killed her. But how do you kill someone if you weren't there? In the end, she was more confused than when she started, so she decided if he wouldn't give her clear answers, she'd get them elsewhere.
"Where is the village that lady was talking about?" She inquired. When he didn't respond, she prompted, "You know, the one near here?"
"I'm not going back there." His voice was emotionless, and his resolution sounded absolute, but Kagome wasn't stopped so easily.
"Why not? Something happen?" Kagome scooted closer to him, scrutinizing every change in his expression for clues.
As if disturbed by her presence, Inuyasha suddenly stood and said, "They don't want me there." After taking a deep breath, he decided on a direction and started walking.
"W-wait!" Kagome scrambled to her feet. "Where are you going?"
He flicked the necklace of beads circling his neck. "The village. Gotta get these damn things off." Kagome accepted his silent invitation to follow and stumbled after him. "Then I'm never coming back."
