Chapter Eleven: A Short Visit
Kagome came to the land of the living slowly, and groaned when the sun hit her eyes. She quickly turned onto her side to protect her eyes from the bright rays and sighed when she saw Inuyasha. How could her life be more perfect?
Inuyasha's face was so incredibly fascinating. He was so handsome, so loving it almost made her heartache but something was missing. Gracefully, Kagome extended a hand out to sweep silvery hair from his face and he softly murmured in his sleep. A smile curving her lips she got up, carefully so she didn't wake Inuyasha.
In the dining area she boiled some water over the newly awakened fire. Slowly as the water heated up she gazed into the fire. Oh.sometimes, just sometimes, she would gibe anything to be a flame, to just have not a care in the world except eating, to have a deadly beauty and an even deadlier sting, to attract things yet at the same time to keep them at bay. Such freedom. She shook her head violently. **What am I thinking about? I'm perfectly happy.** but then, why did she feel as though something was just not there? She sighed.
Deciding not to dwell on it right now, Kagome got up to get supplies for breakfast. As soon as she got to the front door (flap.thingy..) Inuyasha came lumbering in from behind her, slowly blinking his eyes in the afterwake of sleep. She quickly turned, a smile gracing her lips once more. Inuyasha stumbled and yawned like a dog, still sleepy from his nap. "Cover your mouth when you yawn, baka." Kagome playfully warned him. Inuyasha looked up and blinked. "Its impolite." Kagome finished. When he didn't look away she began to feel disturbed. Then he slowly brought his hand to his face and rubbed his eyes as if in disbelief. "What?! Am I that bad looking?" she cried, precariously close to tears.
"No!! its just.well, there's.ummm.behind you.someone.do you?" Inuyasha stammered trying to defend himself. She still hasn't taken the beads off of him yet.
Growing evermore perplexed and annoyed at the dog boy's behavior she looked over her shoulder to where he was pointing.
Looming right behind her was a figure totally covered in blood. Without thinking twice she sent the pot of boiling water at the invader's head and screwed up her face to start screaming.
But before she could utter a sound, "GOD DAMN SHIT!! Damn it girl! That was hot!!"
Sensing the familiar presence, she peek out of one eye. "K-keino?"
"Damn fool girl. Who the hell else would it be?! Do you always poor boiling water on your visitors?!"
"G-gomen..let me get a rag." Kagome stuttered in shame, looking down at her feet in embarrassment. She noticed the red tinted water and winced as she thought of cleaning (( Wait! She glanced in growing horror and drank in the site of her sensei covered in blood and gore, riddled with gaping wounds.
Apparently not noticing Kagome's horror or at least pretending not to, Keino sat cross-legged on the floor. She quickly ripped off a piece of her kimono and began to mop up the blood stained floor.
Seeing her beloved teacher and friend cleaning the mess Kagome had made snapped her out of her reverie, and she hurried out to get some rags.
As soon as Kagome ran out of earshot, Keino straightened up and glanced at Inuyasha, who was still standing at the doorway, staring.
Apparently dismissing him, she began to take off her clothing.
"W-wait!!" Keino stopped and looked up at Inuyasha with an eyebrow cocked in a silent question. As soon as he got her attention he felt a bit self- conscious. "Ummm.Kagome..she missed you very much.." he stuttered unsure of what to tell Keino. She stared at him a few seconds longer and took his hint. She stopped undressing and instead gazed into the fire, much like Kagome did earlier.
"Yes.I know. But she's becoming older, not just year wise. She becoming wise. And she knows friends don't always stick around forever."
Noting the hidden meaning, Inuyasha grew serious. "You're leaving without saying goodbye, then?"
Keino didn't bother gracing his query with an answer. She just kept on gazing at the orange flame dance and flicker on charred wood.
Finally tearing his eyes off her, Inuyasha walked to the fire and looked into it with Keino. "What do I tell her?"
Keino stood up slowly and casually brushed her legs off. "Just tell her.." She paused to think, "..maybe I'll see her later."
"So your coming back?"
Keino stood up slowly and brushed her legs off. "Maybe, maybe not." When Inuyasha didn't say anything further she began walking briskly to the door, hiding the fact that she was badly wounded and shouldn't be walking. She nearly collapsed when she pushed aside the flap (door thingy) and held the frame to steady herself. As she began to get her breath back she stumbled on.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Kagome returned with a basket of old rags and some brushes. As soon as she entered she noticed Inuyasha sitting cross-legged in front of the fire looking very serious. Just seeing the seriousness in his expression told her what she didn't know but felt. "She's gone isn't she?"
Inuyasha avoided her eyes. "She told me to tell you 'maybe she'll see you later.'"
His refusal to look at her began to infuriate her. "See me later?! You didn't stop her? Didn't you see how injured..sniff.she was..sniff.." her voice trailed off as tears began to pour down her face and she realized deep inside, nothing Inuyasha did could have stopped her best friend.
Kagome dropped to her knees as a wave of depression began to roll over her.
"I wonder when she's coming back.." Kagome felt Inuyasha put his arms around her and draw her close. Turning her head she sought the comfort that he silently offered and cried into his shoulder.

::Sorry Kagome.but you were getting too dear to me.:: Keino stumbled into the trees. ::It was for your own good.::
Sorry..but in order to get this out of my computer and into your screen I was in a hurry so I didn't proof read. Forgive me for any grammical errors here, and the directness of the writing.usually I go back and try to make it at least a little bit more captivation.but no luck this time.I'm just a bad writer.
