Chapter Two: The Explaination
Inuhanone looked at his watch for the umpteenth time since he had been standing there. 'Maybe she decided not to come.' He thought sadly. He turned to walk into the cafeteria, but he heard someone call is name.
"Inuhanone! Wait up!" he smiled to himself. It was her. Kagome. He turned to face her.
"Hey, what's up?" He asked her casually.
"Not much. So, you wanna go in and sit down? We need to talk. Not to mention if we don't hurry there won't BE a place FOR us to sit down." She finished with a giggle.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. C'mon, I know just the place for us to sit." He jerked his head in the direction of the back of the room and flashed her a smile. Kagome followed him to where he wanted them to sit after smiling back.
Once they were comfortably seated, she decided to begin her tale. "Okay, I guess I should explain about what happened this morning. You see, when I turned fifteen, a giant centipede came up through an old well on my family's shrine grounds and pulled me back through with it. I ended up in a place I would soon come to know as the sengoku jidai. That's where the someone I used to know comes into play. I saw a boy, a boy who looks exactly like you, pinned to a tree by an arrow. His name was Inuyasha.
He was stubborn, arrogant, rude, and just an all-around smart-alic." She paused. A sad look came across her face as she continued, "I was in love with him." She lowered her head as she finished, not wanting to meet Inuhanone's eyes.
"Wow, I didn't know that. I'm terribly sorry I was so rude this morning." Inuhanone's apology caused Kagome to look up at him.
'He reminds me so much of Inuyasha. He looks just like him. I miss him so much.' She began to cry, not able to hold back her tears this time. Inuhanone didn't know what to do, as he had never seen a girl cry before.
"C'mon, stop the tears, I hate to see girls cry." With this Kagome looked up at him.
"I'm sorry, talking about Inuyasha brings back bad memories. But don't worry, it brings back good memories too, so I don't mind talking about it."
"What happened to him, anyway?"
"Well, you see, the well I used to travel to his time got sealed off, so I can't go there anymore." Kagome had stopped crying by this time, and the bell rang, signaling that lunch was over.
"That's the bell, what's your next class?" Inuhanone asked as he stood up from his seat.
"Math, and I have a huge test." She replied with a roll of her eyes.
"Hey, that's my next class too, wanna walk together?"
"Sure." She replied. He offered her his arm, and she took it, laughing lightly. So they walked to Math class arm in arm, laughing and chatting just like old friends.
Later that day, after the last bell had sounded, Inuhanone caught up to Kagome in the hallway. "Hey, can I walk you home?" He asked her, eyes full of hope.
"Sure." She replied with a smile. They set off toward the Higurashi shrine.
"So, you said you were in love with this Inuyasha guy, right?" Inuhanone asked her, with a slight hint of disappointment in his voice. Kagome nodded. "And you said you met him after traveling through a well, right?" Once again, Kagome nodded. "Could I see the well?" he asked her this very quietly and uncertainly, as if afraid of her answer.
"Sure, follow me, I'll take you to my family's well shrine." She stepped ahead of him and he followed.
Once they arrived in the well shrine, she motioned him to step in after her. They stood looking down into the depths of the well in silence for a moment. Then Inuhanone spoke, "How were you able to travel through the well after the centipede was destroyed?" he asked her. He took a seat on the side of the well and she sat down next to him.
"There was this jewel called the Shikon no Tama, and it gave me the power to time travel. One day I shattered it with one of my arrows while trying to kill a crow youkai that was carrying it away. So we went on a long journey to collect all the shards, and once it was completed, I came back here and the well sealed. Therefore I can't travel time anymore." She explained.
"I see," Inuhanone said, "So that's why you can't see Inuyasha anymore." He looked at his watch, "Well, I guess it's time I got home, my family will get worried if I stay out too late." He told her.
"Okay, thanks for walking me home, and thanks for hearing me out." Kagome replied.
"Okay, I'll see you tommorrow at school?" He asked.
"You bet." She waved goodbye to him and watched him walk down the street, all the while thinking, "If I didn't know any better, I'd say I was in love.'
