chapter three: why, kagome? why?
I reached the well within twenty minutes or so. Ignoring the little children calling my name, I raced for it.
I looked at it, staring at it, wondering if I should go through it to her time and see if it was all true. Then my mind was decided.
I leaped into the well and fell through time. Everything was familiar except, usually Kagome was with me.
Passing through I reached her time and stayed at the bottom of the well for a good ten minutes, trying to make up my mind. To see if I really wanted to know what was going on.
I leaped up and landed on the edge. My ears twitched, listening for any sounds of movement or any sounds of anyone..Kagome included.
I stepped down and one step at a time I went up the stairs. Reaching the top, I put my left hand on the door and stared. Should I open?
"Come on Houjo, just come inside!"
I froze. It was..her. It was Kagome's voice..and she said the bastard's name...My hand sunk to my side.
"I don't know, Kagome.."
"Oh come on! Sota wants to talk to you about stuff." said Kagome.
I glanced through the small slits in the door and saw she was clutching his hand. My heart ripped in half..no..more than half.
They were all telling the truth.
I sank to the ground in a heap of sadness and leaned against the wall.
"Why.." I whispered.
Kagome Higurashi. More beautiful than Kikyo could ever be..not to mention she was alive. Long dark hair, soft as silk and shiney as the stars in the night sky. Her brown eyes, the most caring I've ever gazed into...Always jumping at the chance to help someone. Caring and sweet, brave..loyal. I could go on and on, all these the reasons I love her.
Why couldn't I just tell her? Why did I have to keep it so quiet..Because I'm stupid. I'm too late and her heart belongs to another.
Maybe its better this way though..I mean, he actually lives in her time. He's not constantly trying to be killed by his dead lover, his arch nemesis and his pain in the ass half brother, is he?
He's not a damn hanyou either. He doesn't have dog ears on his head, or sharp claws. He's normal. A normal human.
Why, dammit? WHY?
I felt something hot run down my cheek. I raised a finger, and I wiped away the first tear I've ever cried in a very long time off my face.
Kagome made me cry. She actually made me cry. I never actually thought about it before, but I'm pretty sure I made her cry..but this...This is worse...
"Kagome.." I whispered.
Why do I cry over her? Am I doing exactly was Sesshomaru told me? Falling for humans and protecting them..all that crap he talked about. Could he have been right?
No..not a chance in hell. He doesn't know anything about feelings or emotions. He's tried to kill me so many times..I can't believe I even thought that.
"Well ok..if you really have to go." I heard her say softly. "I'll tell Sota and Mom you said Hi. Gramps too..even though he'll probably ramble on about something weird again.."
I stood up and chances a peek.
"Ok Kagome." said Houjo. "See you tomarrow."
"Bye." she replied. She leaned up and kissed him on the cheek. Then they hugged.
A dagger went right through my heart.
She kissed him. Kagome kissed him. Well..it wasn't as if it was on his lips but..she's never even tried to ...do that to me...
I mean sure. We've had our moments but...It could just be because ... because of stupid reasons...
Once again, I sank to the floor. I've seen enough for one night.
I listened as I heard that Houjo person run down the shrine stares, then listened for Kagome to go safely inside her house.
I sat there for an hour in silence. Not one thought ran through my head. All I could think of was..Kagome and Houjo.
I stood up and walked down the stairs towards the well, one at a time. To the time where I belong.
I reached the well and took one last look towards her house. I sighed and jumped over the side of the well, going back to my time.
I landed and stood there, at the bottom of the well for about ten minutes, once again in complete silence.
Leaping up, in one jump I was out of the well. I looked around at the familiar surroundings. Usually, when I came back from her era, she'd be here with me..but not now. She'd rather be with him than..me...
Now what could I do? I was lost and confused..because of Kagome. I loved her with all my heart but..I want her to be happy.
But who's to say she really does love him? Maybe she's just being nice.. but then again, why wouldn't she do anything like that with me? Or even attempt to..
I wish I could have waited until now to steal the sake and get drunk. I would have loved to have been lost in my own little world right about now.
Oh hell. I walked into the woods and found myself face to face with the tree. The tree I was pinned to over fifty years ago. Where I had first seen Kagome and mistaken her for Kikyo. That was over three years ago..wow...three years...
There were just so many thoughts going through my head. I couldn't take it. I passed out.
~*~ My eyes fluttered open in the morning and Shippo's eyes were staring at me, full of... wait a second..tears?
"Inuyasha!" he said. "We didn't know what happened to you! You, you ran off and then disappeared and then we found you! But we couldn't wake you up! Then we-"
"Hush Shippo." said Miroku. I saw him sitting nearby next to Sango and Kirara. "What happened Inuyasha?" he asked me.
"Feh." I said. It was all I could think of.
"Sango told me..what you found out." he said. "I did not know either. I am trully sorry. We all know how you feel about Kagome and to have this happen..."
I glared at him. "Just what are you talking about?" I asked.
"I mean..uh.."
Sango silenced him. "Forgive me Inuyasha. I should not have told you." she said. "I assume you did go to her era?"
I looked away. "Leave me alone." I growled.
"But are you okay..?" asked Shippo.
I looked at the kitsune. His eyes were full of worry. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all. "I'm fine, Shippo." I said. "I'm fine.."
"You don't look so good. You look pale." said Shippo. He was sitting on my chest and staring at me.
I picked him up and sat up straight. He flinched and prepared for the worst. I even shocked myself at what I did next.
I hugged him.
I hugged the kitsune. I could here Sango and Miroku gasp and Kirara give off some weird cat sound. And he hugged back. Shippo hugged me back.
"Inuyasha..?" I heard him ask, his voice muffled.
I let him go and he sat in my lap, staring up at me. Eyes now full of confusion as well as worry and tears.
I was just as confused. Why did I hug him? Was it because I needed it? Because of Kagome? Maybe the kitsune wasn't so bad..I mean..he actually worries about me..like Kagome does...or did...
"Anyone know what the day is in Kagome's world?" I asked suddenly.
Miroku shook his head. "Not a clue."
"I think its a 'Fri-day'." said Sango. "Whatever that is..."
Fri-day..that was the day before Sat-Ur-day, wasn't it? Would she go out with him again tonight? I needed to know.
"I'm gonna go off for a bit.." I said, putting Shippo lightly on the ground. "I just need..to think... about stuff.." I stood up.
"Did you go and see Kagome last night, Inuyasha?" asked Miroku.
I stopped. My eyes narrowed..in a sad way... "I saw her." I said. "But it was no big deal." I said and ran off, not wanting them to see...that tear run down my face.
Hell ya it was a big deal! I wasn't going to see her again tonight.. I couldn't jurt myself anymore. It was too painful to see.
But wait..didn't I bring pain and tears to her eyes too? When..when I was in love with Kikyo...
I would run off, whenever I heard news of her..even though I knew she would try to pull me into hell..and it was always Kagome who saved me. I guess I was hoping that she would change..that she would lose the evil inside of her.
Time and time again, the same routine..eventually..I stopped going to her..little by little..and it started after I realized that Kagome was something more than just a friend.
But all those times I was off with her..she kissed me a number of times..I've told Kikyo I loved her still..and..the very first time that happened...Kagome was there..Invisible to me, but she saw everything. We moved on..forgetting it. But it would always come up again whenever Kikyo was back in town.
Still.. I love Kagome now..not Kikyo.. I mean..how could I have continued loving her..even after she tried to kill me? And she's still trying to kill me even as I ran through the woods. Plotting my demise..so is Naraku..and so is Sesshomaru..but its always been that way. Why should it change?
Kagome..I hurt her so many times..And I haven't apologized yet. And now..now I know exactly how she felt.
How she felt, watching me and Kikyo..seeing me run off to be with her. Hearing my confessions to her.. I know what it feels like now and I'll apologize to her when she gets back. If she even comes back...
What if she doesn't? I mean..what if she decides that she likes it with that Houjo more than she likes it with me?
I can't think about these things anymore! But everything comes back to Kagome.. Why did I have to fall in love with someone from a different time?
I'd protect her with my life, as I've shown many times. She knows it but..why would she do this to me? Hurt me like this?
Too depressing, Inuyasha. Shut up.
I stopped running and looked around. I was in the middle of the forrest. In an unfamiliar place. Very unfamiliar. I don't ever remember being here before.
I started to walk around, to try and take my mind off of Kagome.
This was really weird. I must have been running pretty damn fast to end up in a place I've never seen. There were many trees and in the distance, I could hear the sound of running water. A stream or possibly a river.
I looked at the sky, at the bright blue sky which was the complete opposite of my mood. It was so bright and cheerful, unlike the darkness and heaviness I felt inside.
My inside and outside are totally different. Inside, I think of many thinks, most of which I will never say aloud. And on the outside, I come across as rude, hateful, ignorant, blah blah blah. But..Kagome knows what I'm like on the inside. I duno how, she just knows.
Dammit! Why did my mind travel back to her!? It always does. And to think, the whole reason I came running here was to get my mind off of her..yet it always wanders back...
I listened for the water again. Figured I'd dunk my head under and get refreshed. Start anew and wake up fully. Try to erase the things I saw from my mind.
Although it would be hard.
After a while, I reached the stream. It was full of crystal clean water, shining with a gleam from the sunlight above. I even saw a fish or too...Come to think of it..I was kinda hungry. Maybe I would catch one in a little bit.
But for now, I kneeled near the shore of the stream and took a breath. I plunged my whole head underwater.
Ah.. it was ice cold. Just what I was hoping for. This really woke me up. The current was pushing my hair along, across my face and neck. It was refreshing and it felt great.
After a minute or so, I pulled my head out and took a breath of fresh air. I shook me head, in a dog-like way (curse Miroku if he should see this, I would kill him because he would never stop his tormenting) and leaned back, staring at the sky.
Then I suddenly became aware of the fact that I had had no breakfast and I was very hungrey. And a hungry hanyou is not a fun thing.
I jumped up and landed on a rock in the middle of the stream. My eyes were looking around for any sight of movement..a fish. My ears perked when I heard a splash and I turned and saw one swimming. Ignoring the fact that it was water and the water was ice cold, I jumped in and snatched it.
It squirmed in my hands and I licked my lips..hmm.. now, should I start a fire or eat it raw? I bit into it and my decsision was obvious.
It was pretty good..although not as good as the ramen Kagome made...Dammit! My mind always drifts back to her.
I took a second bite and stared at the dead fish. I just pretended it was ramen. Then it wasn't so bad.
Then in them middle of my fith bite or so, I heard a twig snap in half. I whirled around and saw on one..but I smelt something.
I looked around warringly, looking for the thing that had broken the branch. It was hiding, but still here because I could smell it.
"I see you won't give up so easily, Inuyasha." said the thing.
I know that voice... I looked to wear it came from.
"Fish. I see you don't have you're precious noodles and you have to feast on fish." it said again. They stepped out of the trees.
"Kikyo?" I asked, standing.
"Well if it isn't Inuyasha. You haven't come searching for me in quite a while." she said, walking towards me. "But here you are now, in my secret home."
"I don't want to talk to you Kikyo." I said angrily. It was her fault I was here anyway! Kagome..
"Where is she?" asked Kikyo.
"What are you talking about?" I demanded, glaring at her to stop walking towards me. She did and she smiled her wicked smile.
"The one who you travel with." she said. "My reincarnation. Kagome, was it?"
"None of your buisness. Just stay away from her." I growled.
"Oh, did you two have a fight?" she grinned. "And was it my fault yet again?"
I growled angrily at her. "Go away." I said.
"How rude of you, Inuyasha." she said, slapping a hand to her face sarcastically. "There is something bothering you, I know there is." she said. She took one step and I growled at her. She stopped. "See? I was right."
"There is nothing wrong with me." I said angrily. If she didn't get the hell outta here soon..
"Why don't you just stop being so hostile, Inuyasha." she said. "I know there is something wrong, I've known you long enough. Now either tell me, or I kill the girl."
"You can't kill her because she's not here!" I screamed before I knew what I was saying. My eyes widened. Dammit...
Kikyo's eyes narrowed. "Ohh..so she went back to her own time, did she?" she asked in a very evil manner. "Perhaps I should seal the well."
"Don't even think about it, bitch." I shouted.
"Thats a first!" she said, sitting down on one of her demons. "You've never insulted me like that before. You must be trully heartbroken..."
I narrowed my eyes and growled at her again.
"Thats it, isn't it, Inuyasha?" she asked menacingly. "Something happened between you two and now you hate each other!"
"I do not hate Kagome!" I shouted.
Kikyo grinned. "You know..you can always come back to me. I'll always be waiting for you.." she said. "But if you don't hate her..something else must have happened. Tell me, Inuyasha."
"Not a chance in hell."
"Speaking of hell..I hear its a great place to live." said Kikyo, standing. "Should I attempt to bring you there again, or will you tell me?" she said, grinning evilly. I took a step back. "With no one around to help you, I should have a problem pulling you down there with me. What do you think?"
"NO!" I shouted. "Stop prying into my thoughts! I will NOT tell you why I'm so pissed off! And trust me, Kikyo. You're the last person I want to see right now."
"Am I?" she asked.
I glared.
"Just .. speak you're mind Inuyasha.." she said. "Maybe I can help."
"I doubt that."
Kikyo shrugged. "You never know, now do you." she said.
"Besides..I thought you were into Naraku lately." I said.
Kikyo chose not to reply, but I did see her eyes narrow. "That has nothing to do with our current situation. And besides, I only use him when I need him."
"Well, then f*** off and leave me alone." I growled at her angrily.
Kikyo didn't move. "I will not leave. Not just yet." she said. She knelt down. "For once, Inuyasha..I cam trully concerned. You have never acted quite so hostile and I am interested in why you are acting this way. If you tell me..I will not try to pull you into hell until Kagome comes back." she said.
I looked at her and..I didn't feel any sort of hatred coming from her. It was ..concern.. But then again..it was Kikyo..why would she care? But something was there.. and I could stop myself, as tears rolled down my face.

It squirmed in my hands and I licked my lips..hmm.. now, should I start a fire or eat it raw? I bit into it and my decsision was obvious.
It was pretty good..although not as good as the ramen Kagome made...Dammit! My mind always drifts back to her.
I took a second bite and stared at the dead fish. I just pretended it was ramen. Then it wasn't so bad.
Then in them middle of my fith bite or so, I heard a twig snap in half. I whirled around and saw on one..but I smelt something.
I looked around warringly, looking for the thing that had broken the branch. It was hiding, but still here because I could smell it.
"I see you won't give up so easily, Inuyasha." said the thing.
I know that voice... I looked to wear it came from.
"Fish. I see you don't have you're precious noodles and you have to feast on fish." it said again. They stepped out of the trees.
"Kikyo?" I asked, standing.
"Well if it isn't Inuyasha. You haven't come searching for me in quite a while." she said, walking towards me. "But here you are now, in my secret home."
"I don't want to talk to you Kikyo." I said angrily. It was her fault I was here anyway! Kagome..
"Where is she?" asked Kikyo.
"What are you talking about?" I demanded, glaring at her to stop walking towards me. She did and she smiled her wicked smile.
"The one who you travel with." she said. "My reincarnation. Kagome, was it?"
"None of your buisness. Just stay away from her." I growled.
"Oh, did you two have a fight?" she grinned. "And was it my fault yet again?"
I growled angrily at her. "Go away." I said.
"How rude of you, Inuyasha." she said, slapping a hand to her face sarcastically. "There is something bothering you, I know there is." she said. She took one step and I growled at her. She stopped. "See? I was right."
"There is nothing wrong with me." I said angrily. If she didn't get the hell outta here soon..
"Why don't you just stop being so hostile, Inuyasha." she said. "I know there is something wrong, I've known you long enough. Now either tell me, or I kill the girl."
"You can't kill her because she's not here!" I screamed before I knew what I was saying. My eyes widened. Dammit...
Kikyo's eyes narrowed. "Ohh..so she went back to her own time, did she?" she asked in a very evil manner. "Perhaps I should seal the well."
"Don't even think about it, bitch." I shouted.
"Thats a first!" she said, sitting down on one of her demons. "You've never insulted me like that before. You must be trully heartbroken..."
I narrowed my eyes and growled at her again.
"Thats it, isn't it, Inuyasha?" she asked menacingly. "Something happened between you two and now you hate each other!"
"I do not hate Kagome!" I shouted.
Kikyo grinned. "You know..you can always come back to me. I'll always be waiting for you.." she said. "But if you don't hate her..something else must have happened. Tell me, Inuyasha."
"Not a chance in hell."
"Speaking of hell..I hear its a great place to live." said Kikyo, standing. "Should I attempt to bring you there again, or will you tell me?" she said, grinning evilly. I took a step back. "With no one around to help you, I should have a problem pulling you down there with me. What do you think?"
"NO!" I shouted. "Stop prying into my thoughts! I will NOT tell you why I'm so pissed off! And trust me, Kikyo. You're the last person I want to see right now."
"Am I?" she asked.
I glared.
"Just .. speak you're mind Inuyasha.." she said. "Maybe I can help."
"I doubt that."
Kikyo shrugged. "You never know, now do you." she said.
"Besides..I thought you were into Naraku lately." I said.
Kikyo chose not to reply, but I did see her eyes narrow. "That has nothing to do with our current situation. And besides, I only use him when I need him."
"Well, then f*** off and leave me alone." I growled at her angrily.
Kikyo didn't move. "I will not leave. Not just yet." she said. She knelt down. "For once, Inuyasha..I cam trully concerned. You have never acted quite so hostile and I am interested in why you are acting this way. If you tell me..I will not try to pull you into hell until Kagome comes back." she said.
I looked at her and..I didn't feel any sort of hatred coming from her. It was ..concern.. But then again..it was Kikyo..why would she care? But something was there.. and I could stop myself, as tears rolled down my face.
