He paced up and down under the tree. 'Where is Kagome?! Why can't I go
back? What is she DOING there!??!?!!!!'
She paced up and down in her room. 'What am I going to do!? What if Inuyasha finds out?! I can't go back!!!'
He paced up and down under the tree. 'I wonder what she's doing right now? Is she ok? Is she all right? Is she injured?'
She paced up and down in her room. 'I think I'll go back and tell him. I have to. Or wait. I'll go back …….but I won't tell him. I'll keep it secret!'
He paced up and down under the tree. 'When is she coming back!? GOD!!!!! I'm sick of waiting! We need to go on!!'
She paced up and down in her room. 'I think I'm going back now.' "Mom! I'm going! Bye!" She knew her mom didn't hear, but it was all right. She'd go anyways. She walked nonchalantly to the well house and jumped in. "OH NO! IT'S RAINING!! I have to go back! Before I turn into a demon!!!!" she whispered harshly to herself. Just then, Inuyasha's sensitive nose caught Kagome's scent coming up the well.
"Kagome!!" he said a little too cheerily. He wrapped her into a protective embrace and nuzzled his nose into her body. Kagome was shocked. She couldn't stay much longer but she had to leave while Inuyasha's body was still protecting her's from the rain!!! "I've missed you…….." he continued to snuggle into her.
"Err….. I'm sorry if you missed me, Inuyasha….. heh heh heh heh heh….. but I gotta go. Just came to tell you that." And she jumped out of his arms and back into the well.
"HEY!!!! You wench!!!!!" he yelled as he jumped in after her. 'Why do I spoil her?' he thought to himself. "Hey, hey……" he said a little gentler. "Why are you running off?"
"I gotta get going. Bye!" she said as she slammed the top of the well onto his head and slapped the sealing scroll on. "HEY!!!!!" *bang bang bang* "Lemme out!!!!"
"Oh yea!" Kagome remembered. "I have to let him go back to Feudal Japan!" she released the sealing scroll and Inuyasha jumped out but she shoved him back in. "Byebye!" she yelled after him and reclosed the well. "Phew. That was so close!" she breathed. "What am I going to do now about the rain?! It ALWAYS rains there!!"
"BAH! That wench!" Inuyasha huffed and puffed. He ran around the forest tearing up trees and bark while Miroku and Shippo stood at the edge of the forest, gaping.
"Something is obviously wrong with him," Miroku noted. Shippo glanced up at him.
"No……..DUH!!!!"
"That WENCH! That WENCH!" he yelled as he bumped into Miroku.
"Inuyasha, please tell us what is wrong……." Miroku said with a genuinely concerned look on his face.
"Go away, monk!!!!" he yelled, brushing the poor monk away. "Let me alone!!!" he screamed.
"But you are obviously in pain……." Miroku offered.
"I'm NOT in any pain!!!!!"
Kagome was in the bathroom, dumping and redumping hot and cold water over herself. She was trying to convince herself that she didn't look that different from her normal self than her new demon self. The more she looked at herself, the more she thought how similar she looked; until she finally thought, "Oh, hey. I don't really look all THAT different….. but I still won't let Inuyasha know." She sighed, dumping cold water on her. "But I look so DIFFERENT……." She sighed, dumping hot water on her. "Those cursed springs. Why can't I just stay like this forever? My normal self? This is all Shampoo's fault!" She sighed, dumping cold water on her. "I look so weird as a demon. What's Inuyasha gonna say if he ever finds out?" She sighed, dumping hot water on her. "I'll miss my old self. I wonder how good I'm going to keep this secret……" She sighed, dumping hot and cold water on her, repeating the process, with a different thought each time.
"Kagome!!!! Dinner!!!" her mother called from down the stairs. She sighed one last time and dumped hot water on herself. "It's raining pretty hard outside…… which means I can't go outside today after dinner…….can't go on that everyday walk. Not even with an umbrella…. 'cuz then I know Sota and I will have that umbrella fight…….. and I don't want to scare him by turning into a demon in front of his eyes……." She sighed and dumped cold water on herself. Suddenly, she heard a scream.
"AIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KAGOME!!!!!!!!!!! IS THAT REALLLLLLY YOUU?!?!?!!!!!!!!" It was her little brother Sota.
'Oh dear. Right when I thought I didn't want him to see, too……' Kagome was cross. "Shh!! Sota! Shut up!!!!"
"Is that you??" Sota whimpered. "Y-you look like I-Inuy-yasha!!" he reached up and pulled on her sensitive doggy ears.
"OW!!" Kagome slapped her brother's hands off her ears. "Yes, it's me."
"But – but you're a DEMON!!!!!" Sota yelled, terrified.
"No, I'm a half demon." Kagome corrected, gagging her brother with an old handkerchief so Mrs. Higurashi wouldn't hear what was going on.
"Rrmm iifg eeshf ggaabeen?" Sota asked.
"What?!" Kagome asked, taking off the gag.
"How did this happen!?" Sota re asked, with wide eyes.
"I fell into those stupid springs," Kagome started, and told her brother the whole story. When she had finished, "You better not tell Mum about this, Sota! OR especially not INUYASHA!! Ok!?" she yelled ferociously, shaking her brother on the shoulders.
"O-ok….. all right…. Er, I promise I won't tell him or mum or …..what about gramps?" Sota asked questioningly.
"NOBODY! You tell NOBODY!!"
"Kagome? Sota? What are you doing up there? What's taking so long?! Dinner!" Mrs. Higurashi yelled, crossly and she marched up the stairs.
"AH! Hot water!" Kagome whispered hoarsely, realizing she was still in her demon state. She ran into the bathroom and shut the door just as Mrs. Higurashi stepped into the room.
"Kagome's in the bathroom," Sota said.
"Here I am!" Kagome chirped, stepping out of the room, all normal again. Sota sighed in relief. He winked at Kagome as Kagome winked back. Mrs. Higurashi caught their winks.
"What are you winking about? Keeping something from me?" Mrs. Higurashi asked suspiciously.
"Oh, we can't tell….." Kagome said, nudging Sota. Sota nodded dumbly. It was Mrs. Higurashi's birthday soon, so Kagome decided to use that for an excuse, just in case. Nothing about demons…..or half demons. Nothing. Nothing about Jusenkyo Springs. Nothing. Yup yup. Meanwhile at the dinner table, while all situated around the hot food, Gramps asked,
"So, Kagome…… how was that trip you and your mother took to Jusenkyo Springs? She here," he added, jeering his head rudely at Mrs. Higurashi, "told me you met some cute handsome guy, eh?! Heh heh heh heh!" He cackled. Kagome looked up, embarrassed.
"Nobody is cuter than Inuyasha and I don't appreciate you saying that other guys can be cute or handome!!" she yelled and stormed out to the well house.
"That wench! That wench!" Inuyasha continued to sulk.
She paced up and down in her room. 'What am I going to do!? What if Inuyasha finds out?! I can't go back!!!'
He paced up and down under the tree. 'I wonder what she's doing right now? Is she ok? Is she all right? Is she injured?'
