~Chapter One~ ~Tonight I wish you would see me and not her~
It was late on a freezing cold night in the warring states era. Kagome stayed huddled under a thin blanket, but it was hardly enough warmth. She opened her eyes and stared at the shadows around her. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were out in another village, and her and Inu-Yasha were alone, sleeping at a small camp which they had made only a few hours before. Only thing was, he was out in the night, doing what ever he did when he left her like that, and she was all by herself, wondering in her mind where and why Inu-Yasha had gone. *He's so unpredictable sometimes, but….I wish just for once he would stick around….with me. I'm cold, and I'm also tired, but I can't sleep when he's far away from me. What will I do?* She thought in a sad way. Suddenly, Inu-Yasha jumped down from some trees above her and stood on the opposite side of the fire that was blazing in a dim way. Kagome stared up at him. His beautiful face which she longer to hold her in hands and touch gently with her finger tips. She could never do so though, for he didn't have the same feelings as she. He loved Kikyo, not her, and it was hard to admit that he would never see her as another, but only Kikyo's reincarnation. It tore at her heart so much. He looked down to her and smiled a bit. "Kagome? Are yah awake?" He questioned her form. Kagome didn't want to talk, but she had to. "Yes. What is it?" She replied. Inu-Yasha hesitated for a minute. "Um…well….." He paused as Kagome brought her face up to look into his eyes. When she saw the strange look on his face, she couldn't know why he was giving off such passionate emotions! She then figured that he was playing with her feelings, and she looked away with a sharp glare before hand. He was most certainly not playing with her though!! He was trying to be nice. She stood up and grabbed her yellow bag filled with her belongings. "Obviously you don't want me around, so I'll leave. See you later." She said stiffly. Inu-Yasha was rather stunned with this. He was truly only trying to be kind when he gave her that o so hard to find smile on his face. "HANG ON A MINUTE!!! WHY ARE YOU LEAVIN SO SOON!? I DIDN'T DO NOTHIN!!!" He yelled. Kagome threw her head back at him. "STOP TRYING TO MESS WITH MY FEELINGS!! I KNOW YOU DESPISE ME IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE!!! SO STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL BAD!!!! GO BE WITH KIKYO OR SOMETHING!!!!" She yelled back, wanting to cry when she mentioned the name "Kikyo". Inu-Yasha stood in shock for a bit. *Why'd she mention Kikyo anyway!? This has nothin to do with that other woman!!!* He thought in anger, and a bit of surprise at his own thinking. "KAGOME!!! COME BACK!! WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM TONIGHT ANYWAY!!!???" He screeched into the night. Kagome had no choice but to return, and plant an evil look upon him, as tears formed on the rims of her eyes. "YOU JERK!! THE REASON WHY I'M LIKE THIS IS CAUSE I ALWAYS AM!!! I MAY NOT SHOW IT, BUT I REALLY LIKE YOU INU-YASHA!!! YOU'RE MY FRIEND!!! YOU DON'T LIKE ME AT ALL THOUGH DO YOU!? YOU ONLY SEE ME AS KIKYO'S REINCARNATION!! I AM ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF WHAT YOU TRULY FAVOR!!! I WISH I WASN'T EVEN ONE BIT SIMILAR IN LOOKS TO KIKYO!! I WISH I WAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT, SO YOU WOULD SEE ME, AND ME ALONE!!! NOT SOMEONE YOU THINK YOU STILL LOVE BUT CAN'T MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!!!!" She screamed as her tears fell down her cheeks. She then turned quickly and ran towards the sacred well, not planning on returning. Inu-Yasha stood in silence. *I…..had no idea she felt this way. I thought she…….I DON'T SEE HER AS KIKYO AT ALL!!!! I SEE HER AS KAGOME!!!!! She's completely different from Kikyo. She's not even a look alike to Kikyo. She has her own self, her own heart, her own looks. She is Kagome. Why did she think I saw her as Kikyo in the first place!? Why does she even care!! She doesn't love me……does she!?* He thought to himself. He then decided to go after her, it was the only logical thing to do. Whatever it was that made her mad, had to be solved, and as soon as possible!! There was only one problem, Inu-Yasha didn't know what to say!!! He decided that he would wait until a few hours later before charging after Kagome, and saying sorry, and ask her what it was really that made her think the way she did. He cared for her, he knew her dear to his heart, her cherished her, even though she didn't know.
