Hello, reader! I hope you like this fan fiction, and it'll be an eventual
Sess/Kago! *cheers* If you dislike that coupling for some insane reason, at
least read the first chapter: it's just a prologue! I do not own any of
these characters (too bad, Fluffy Sama could have aided in world domination
*drools at thought*) Anyways, enjoy and REVIEW!!! Or else my munchkins will
be PO'd!

Inu Yasha sighed as he sat in a tree, his foot leaning against a branch
to keep his balance. He closed his eyes as his thoughts strayed, before
returning to Kikyo, as they always seemed to. While the priestess lived,
she was the first human who ever truly related to Inu Yasha; who accepted
his rash words and rude actions with only a small smile. She was
purifying the Shikon Jewel in her care, trying to erase the evil
bloodshed in which it was created, and at first, it was because of the
jewel that Inu Yasha followed her. Later, he began studying the priestess
more and more, perhaps trying to find a weakness in her cool exterior.
Kikyo felt his presence often, sometimes choosing to shoot arrows at him,
and sometimes being civil to the half demon.
Although the odd hunter-and-prey relationship centered on the jewel, it
soon grew beyond it. Unspoken emotions hung in the air whenever Inu Yasha
studied her, sometimes even forgetting the cause of his watching.
Although their emotions never had time to develop into anything physical
past a hug, they still existed. If they had surpassed their current
stage, they might have grown to find the other's flaws and grow bored.
However, that never got a chance to happen as another half demon set his
sights on the jewel: Naraku. The rest was mentioned often, stirring a
pang in Inu Yasha's heart every time he thought of it.
A part of him died that day, which was probably the reason that Kikyo's
arrow was impaled on his heart. Then Kagome came.
Kagome, ignorant to the fact that Inu Yasha was brooding about her,
looked up at the half demon and sighed. He usually went up in a tree when
he was thinking about something, and she was aware of the fact that after
Kikyo became revived, his thoughts often trailed to her. Each romantic
and emotional gesture he had ever shown her was sharp in her mind, but
those impulsive moments were overshadowed by Kikyo. Maybe it was because
Kikyo was the one whom Inu Yasha proclaimed his love, an action he had
never shown for her.
She glanced at the half demon's face, noting that his golden eyes had
grown a touch softer, meaning that it was around a half hour until he
finished brooding. She sat on the ground and stretched her arms out in
front of her, intertwining her fingers. It was supposed to be romantic
right now, while everyone was away, taking a break from the group. Miroku
was at a temple, for an exorcism ritual, hoping a jewel shard might come
along with the bargain. It was probably not a coincidence that the temple
was nestled in a village where many teenage girls resided. Sango had
tagged along, in case he needed help, and to keep an eye on him. Shippo
went because he was expecting the brawl to be entertaining and he was
expecting to be stroked by the young women in the village.
Inu Yasha had not gone along because he would probably frighten the
villagers more than the original demon, and Kagome stayed behind because
she would not be much help. Maybe the trio planned for her and Inu Yasha
to be alone together, but Inu Yasha took advantage of the lull in
fighting to brood. Again. Kagome sighed as she leaned back, thinking that
Inu Yasha would have chosen one of them already unless he thought the
choice was obvious. She supposed it would be. Inu Yasha would die for
Kikyo, and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her at one point.
Next to that, all Kagome had was a handful of embraces and a few hand
holds. It seemed pathetic and she decided that she was obsessing over a
half demon who obviously wasn't interested.
She took a deep breath and let it out, trying to decide what to do. There
was Hojo back home, but she had so many dates with him that she blew off,
she was nearly certain that he lost interest. Besides, she was constantly
spending more and more time in Feudal Japan as opposed to present day, so
it would be ideal if she had someone who could be with her in both.
Unfortunately, it was impossible. No demons existed in modern Japan out
of TV. Kagome stood; brushed off the grass she collected on her skirt and
checked her watch. Even though it was summer, she still had to check back
into her normal life often, so her mother wouldn't worry. The rest of the
group was probably going to take a few hours, and then sleep at the town
when it got dark. She glanced once more at Inu Yasha; thought of the mile
or two of distance to the Bone Eater's well, and picked up her bike.
Kagome decided against telling Inu Yasha about her leaving, he would be
impossible to reach at this point and probably wouldn't care anyways. She
was steadily pedaling through the woods, knowing the way from experience,
for about a mile before Inu Yasha caught up with her. A slight jolt
behind her informed her of him joining her, and she wondered if he was
aware of their closeness. Then she realized it was probably because of
the small bicycle seat and any romantic implements melted away. Inu Yasha
did not say anything until she reached the well, unaware of where she was
going until she arrived. He quickly slid of the seat and stepped in front
of the well.
Kagome sighed and laid her bike on the ground, stepping up to Inu Yasha,
aware of the obvious confrontation. "Why do you need to go back this
time?" Inu Yasha asked, raising an eyebrow. Kagome glared before saying,
"I haven't seen my family for over a week. They probably think I am
dead." The personal chord did not affect Inu Yasha at all, having no idea
why she would want to see her family. Of course, his only family left was
his half-brother Sesshoumaru, who desperately wanted him dead and the
Tetusaiga for himself, even though he couldn't touch it. Kagome noted
that before trying a different tack, letting pleading enter her brown
eyes. "Please, Inu Yasha. I need a break. Just one week of being normal."
Inu Yasha's eyes softened but he said, "No. Why are you so desperate to
leave all of a sudden?" His eyes narrowed. "Are you planning something?"
Kagome bit her tongue so as not to reveal her reasons but avoided the
subject by asking, "Haven't I returned all those other times? Don't you
trust me yet?"
Inu Yasha thought for a second before saying, "Not unless I go with you."
Kagome looked surprised but slightly irritated, "You don't trust me at
all do you? Besides, a half demon wandering after me isn't exactly
normal, Inu Yasha!" Inu Yasha's eyes hardened as he said, "It's either me
coming along or you not going along." Kagome sighed, knowing perfectly
well that she could simply say one word and go to her own world but it
didn't feel right somehow. She nodded, causing Inu Yasha to grin.

YAY! Thank you SOOOO much for reading my first chapter! This is the first
Inu Yasha fan fiction I've done, so I hope it wasn't too terrible!
*plays dramatic music in preparation for next chapter* I don't want to
spoil it for you people! Just be prepared for a steamy kiss! Heh, now you
HAVE to read it! I might be more insane by then though, from lack of
caffeine, so BEWARE!
