".Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all to short a date."
William Shakespeare
Chapter Three:
"No."
"But - "
"I said no."
"Well, what about - "
"Don't you know when to quit?!" asked an exasperated Inu-yasha.
"Of COURSE not." Kagome said sweetly, determined to be as annoyingly cheerful as possible. It was three days later, and Kagome was still trying to figure out what it was Inu-yasha liked.
"Why don't you just go away?" he asked.
"Now why would I do that, when I still haven't figured out what you like?"
" Let me make it easy for you, then. I'd like it very much if you'd GO AWAY."
"But I'm going to come back later, anyway, you'll just have to think of something else." Said Kagome. She began to stuff books and papers back into her massive bag.
" Is that so? Well I'll have to leave the hospital. You wouldn't be able to annoy me if I go home."
" If I make you want to go home, then all the more reason for me to visit you!" Kagome smiled.
Blinking, all Inu-yasha could do was stare.
"Feh."
"Right, then!" said Kagome. " I'm going home, now. See you tomorrow!" She shouldered her pack, waved goodbye, and left.
Inu-yasha settled back down after she closed the door. He'd noticed that over the last couple of days, sitting up had gotten easier, less painful. 'That visit wasn't as long as the last one.' thought Inu-yasha, as he slowly drifted off to sleep.
Sango peered over her glass at her friend as she sipped her water. Kagome was seated at the end of the table. They'd decided to go window shopping that morning, since school was closed for a holiday, but Kagome's mind wasn't on their shopping trip. They were sat in the restaurant with their purchases. Neither girl said much during lunch. Kagome seemed content to stare out the window and sigh while Sango fidgeted with her bag. The silence dragged on.
'Something's on her mind.' Thought Sango. 'Kagome's never this quiet.'
"Kagome.? Kagome?"
"Hmmm." Was all Kagome said. Sango tried again to reach her friend.
"Kagome, what is it? What's bothering you? Something's on your mind that you're not telling me."
" I don't know, Sango. It's just, well, the hospital thing." Kagome mumbled.
"Do you want me to go with you today?" She asked.
"It's not a big deal! Forget I mentioned it." Kagome plastered a smile on her face, and though she still worried about her friend, Sango didn't press her further.
Kagome walked down the sidewalk, still thinking. 'Why am I so upset?! It's not like he cares what I think or anything! I wouldn't want pity if I was in his position.' Kagome stopped suddenly, finding herself just outside the hospital entrance.
'Oh, just stop worrying! He's just a patient that I'm visit everyday, so I just need to cool it, and everything will be fine. There's no reason to be nervous! There's no reason for him to MAKE me nervous.' She walked into the hospital.
Author's Note: What did you think? I hope it's not too boring right now, but it's hard to write stories in an alternate universe and develop the characters properly! *cries* I'm racking my brain here! Okay, I'm not going to rant much longer, just remember, KEEP REVIEWING!!!! I NEED THE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISM SO I CAN FIX STUFF!!! And the disclaimer is at the top of the first chapter just for all you lawyer people. Until next time, people!
