chapter seven: whats this feeling growing inside?
The sun woke me up. Coudn't exactly see it as I was under the stairs, but the rays shined through and I was awake.
Yawning, I cracked my neck and stretched out my muscles. I sniffed the air. I looked around. There was nothing here. Good.
I sat in silence for a minute, and then everything clicked.
"Stupid.." I whispered. "I shouldn't have come."
And yet I still couldn't tell. Did Kagome love him? And... Gods! Why the hell am I doing this anyway? And why the HELL do I keep repeating my thoughts?
I shook my head and ran my hands through my hair.
I think it was Sat-ur-day in Kagome's world... which meant people in her world slept later than normal. So, Kagome probably wouldn't get up for a while. Maybe I should go back to my own era for now. Yeah. I think I will.
I stood up and walked over to the well, and leaped over the side.
I passed through time and leaped back out of the well. I sniffed the air around me. There was no scent of anyone. No Miroku, no Sango, no Shippo.
I walked through the forrest back to the town. A few people greeted me with a hello or a nod, but I made no reply.
"Good day, InuYasha!" called a villager.
I nodded in reply and made my way to the Old Hag's hut. I went in and sat down on the floor. Everyone glanced at me, then looked away.
"Welome back, InuYasha." said Kaede, stirring whatever was cooking in the pot over the small fire.
"Feh.."
I sat in the corner and said nothing else. In a few minutes, the food was done and Sango began to serve it. Shippo was bouncing up and down in joy, while Miroku seemed to be looking for a chance to grope.
A bowl was placed in front of me and I ate it fast, extremely fast, so that no one would suspect much of it. In a bit, I finished and dropped the bowl on the ground. Then my stomach rumbled and I realized I was still kinda hungry.
"Oy, gimme some more." I said.
"Fine Mr. Attitude.." said Sango, taking the spoon and pouring more into my bowl. She sat down, but jumped back up quickly, whirled around and smacked Miroku across the face with the spoon, leaving an imprint on his cheek.
While Sango was blushing a deep red, Miroku looked thrilled at the thought that he had a successful grope. Damn that guy is so perverted.
I finished my second helping of food. Not as good as Ramen, but hey. It was all right. I stood up and stretched. "Think I'll take another walk.." I said and walked out of the hut.
"Hey InuYasha!" called Shippo from inside.
I turned and peeked back in. "What?" I asked.
"Did you see Kagome?" he asked.
Just as I was about to smack him, pick him up and throw him across the room, Miroku did just that with his staff.
"Don't ask pointless questions that won't be answered, Shippo." said Miroku, taking a sip of his soup thing.
Shippo was all swirly eyed. "Why does everyone always pick on meee....." he moaned.
Sango grinned and shook her head.
That was.. weird.
I left the hut once more and headed back for the forrest and the well. A few more people called out a hello or a good morning to me. I think I nodded in reply. Once.
I reached the forrest and wandered around aimlessly, wondering if I should go back to the well and find Kagome.
I have no idea how long I wandered, but I ended up in the place I didn't want to go. The well. I stood near the edge and stared at it.
Should I go in? Go find Kagome?
Should I stay here and let her slip away?
Oh great.. all those stupid conversations in my head are starting once again.. Damn...
I sighed and before I knew what I was doing, I jumped into the well and passed through time for the second time that day in less than two hours.
I hit the ground and looked up. I was now once again in her time, staring at the roof of the house thing around the well. Why its here, I'll never know. And at the moment, its not exactly very high on my priority list, if you know what I mean.
I listened. I couldn't hear much so I jumped out of the well. I dashed up the stairs and put my ear to the door. No sound. Did Kagome leave or something? Or maybe she was still asleep in her bed. Yeah.. maybe..
"Bye mom!"
My ears twitched and I sniffed. It was her scent. I looked through a crack in the door.
There she was, running towards the stairs in jeans and a tee shirt. She was carrying a bunch of books under her arm too. I watched curiously as she headed right passed the well without even giving it a glance. Great..
She disappeared going down the stairs and I quickly went out of the shrine around the well. I leaped into a tree quickly so no one would see me.
I followed her down the stairs of the shrine until she reached the sidewalk. Then she made a right turn and headed in the opposite direction of last night.
Jumping from tree to tree, I followed her. I had no idea where she was going. I though maybe school sinse she had those book things with her, but then I realized she wasn't wearing her uniform thing-y that she normally wears.
She slowed down to a walk and looked around at her surroundings. She looked up into the trees and thats when I hid myself from her view. There is no way in hell I'm getting caught now.
She stopped in the middle of this little square. It had a fountain in the middle of it and lots of benches all around in a circular pattern. There was a few people here and there, either walking by or sitting on the bench. One guy was even looking at himself in the water.
Kagome walked over and sat on one of the benches. She placed those books next to her and picked up the top one. Her eyes went up and down the pages, reading it.
Why did she come here to read? Couldn't she just do that at home? Or even in my era? There are some things about this girl I just do not understand.
"Kagome!"
Both her head and my head turned in the direction of the voice. Kagome's face lit up, while mine darkened.
It was him.
He ran over and sat down next to Kagome on the bench. I scowled at him. I almost went down there and threw him, especially after her gave her a hug.
It seemed weird.. like Kagome wasn't too thrilled.. but then again, maybe my eyes were showing me what I wanted to see.
Houjo picked up one of her books and skimmed the page. Then he started talking to her. I assumed he was explaining whatever was in the book because I had no idea what he was talking about. Kagome nodded and once in a while she would stop him and ask himn a question with a politely confused look on her face. I grinned. She made some weird faces. Then again she is a little weird anyway...
Come to think of it, I must be pretty weird too, compared to her and her world. I mean, looking around I barely fit in at all. Nothing about me.
I shook my head and focussed my attention back on the two of them. They were there for a few hours, until every book she had was opened and closed at least once. Now they had stopped talking about school work, because I understood what they were saying.
"Hey Kagome," he said. "Sinse we've been working hard I thought I'd treat you out to lunch today."
"That sounds good." she grinned.
Houjo looked at his watch. "Its around eleven so its a good time to get going." he said. "By the time we find somewhere to eat, it'll be good time for lunch."
"Yeah." said Kagome. "I am getting a little hungry at the moment from all that studying. I could use some food in my tummy." she grinned.
Come back to my time Kagome. Sango can cook if you don't want to. Thats what I wanted to say. But did I say it? Of course not. I said nothing. I just sat there.. wallowing in pathetic sorrow.
Kagome picked up her books, and Houjo took some from her and grinned. "Thanks, Houjo." she said.
They stood up and walked off, chatting.
I scanned the area for trees in the direction they were heading. There was a few, but it was light out and I could be seen. This was a delicate operation and it had to be done quickly.
I quickly jumped out of the tree I was in, hit the ground for less than a second and jumped into the next tree.
"Hi ho, George! Did ya see that?"
"Musta been one of them flying squirrels, Larry. They're everywhere these days."
People really are stupid, aren't they? I almost laughed at the stupidity of them. Then again, I've seen some even dumber in my own time so I guess I should shut my trap.
I looked around and spotted the two of them turning a corner. I folllowed them from tree to tree, hearing 'George and Larry' mumble something about squirrels again.
After a bit, they stopped outside a building.
"What about here, Kagome?" asked Houjo.
"Yeah!" she grinned. "I came here once with Grandpa a few months ago. They have really good food and its not that expensive."
"Nothing that will get you sick right?"
Kagome looked ready to fall over. "Nothing in there will make me sick, Houjo-kun." she said, putting on a cheesy smile.
Dammit. She called him 'kun' again...
They went inside the restaurant and I remained in the tree. I didn't think it was a good idea to follow them in there, as I would get strange looks from everyone except Kagome. She would be giving me a murderous one and I would be looking at the floor right now.
I sat in the tree for about an hour or so. I can't tell time in Kagome's world, so I'm assuming thats how long it was.
They came out, and they didn't seem as hungry anymore. They turned and headed back in the direction they had come.
"Thanks Houjo." said Kagome.
"No problem, Kagome." he grinned.
"I was getting hungry too." she said. "Thanks for all your help getting me caught up. Without your or my friends I would be failing by now. I'd probably still be two grades behind."
"Its not a problem Kagome." he said. "I'm happy to help you."
"Thanks again." she grinned.
"You seem to be getting less sick than before though." said Houjo. This made my ears pirk up a bit.
"Yeah, well.." she started. "Maybe it was a phase I was going through, catching every disease that flew by. I seem to be getting better though. I think I might be able to go to school more often that usual soon."
"Thats good news!"
"Yeah.. I guess..."
I froze. She.. was going to be going to school more often now..? That means.. she's going to be leaving her era less and less... and coming to mine less and less...
I blinked.
Was it because of the Jewel shards? Was it because she were almost done? Does that really mean... than when the jewel is complete.. she'll leave me? She'll never come back...? Everything that she and I, along with the others, went through was just going to be some sort of memory for her...?
No, no, no, no, no! I ran my hands furiously through my hair.
She wouldn't just abandon me for him! She'd still come back .. wouldn't she?
Goddammit InuYasha, you need to be more positive. But at the moment its kind of hard. Doing everything I'm doing. Thinking whatever comes through my mind. Being positive is the last thing I wanna do right now.
Although it would be nice...
No, InuYasha. Stop changing the subject. Keep focussed. Stay on track.
Shit!
I looked around furiously. They were gone! All that confusion and thought.. dammit I lost them!
I sniffed the air for a sign of Kagome. I could faintly smell it. She was getting away and I couldn't lose her now.
I quickly went from the tree I was in now into the next one, in the direction I could smell her. I didn't hear any squirrel comments this time though.
I jumped again and again. I kept jumping until I heard a shrill shriek. I looked down.
Kagome had was jumped up and down from foot to foot, looking terrified. I looked around, searching for what was scaring her.
"Kill it!" she screamed. "Kill it kill it kill it!!"
I looked down and saw what had scared her. It was a beetle. I snorted as Houjo laughed politely and stepped on it.
Kagome sighed and hugged her shoulders. "I ... hate.. bugs..." she said.
"Its dead, Kagome." said Houjo. "Lets just keep going now, ok?"
Kagome nodded. She sent death glares at the bug and stuck her toungue out at it as she passed. She left at least two feet between her self and the dead insect.
This would make perfect blackmail information for later... but then I realized I wasn't even supposed to be here in the first place. That messed up my plans...
Now that I found them again, I wasn't going to lose them again. I quickly continued following them from tree to tree, making sure I wasn't seen by any one. Especially those stupid flying squirrel obssessed George and Larry people.
Geez, why do I keep bringing them up in my thoughts? Why do they keep coming UP in my thoughts?
Stupid people be gone.. stupid people be gone...
I looked down and jumped into the next tree, still following them. After a while, they reached Kagome's house again and headed up the stairs. Why was he going with her up to her house anyway?
I'd find out, because I was following them. Like a stalker. Which I'm NOT. I'm just trying to find out.. .well yeah...
As they walked up the stairs, I walked .. up the trees? (O.o)
The two headed for Kagome's house but didn't go inside. They walked over and sat on the stairs outside the main shrine.
"I just wanna thank you again, Houjo." said Kagome.
"I already said it was no problem." said Houjo, waving his hand. "By the way, shouldn't you go bring your books back inside?"
Kagome looked down. "Oh yes! Books!" she said. She grinned and stood up. "Come on in. I'm sure mom can get us some soda or something."
"Thanks." said Houjo.
They headed for her house and I sent death glares at him. Of course, he was completely oblivious to it, along with Kagome. But the glares weren't at her. They were at him. I would never give Kagome a death glare, unless.. well.. unless it was a stupid reason... At that, I confused myself.
I snapped out of it when I heard the door close. The two of them had gone inside her house now. I shuddered. I hate than guy with such passion you have no idea..
Who is 'you'? Maybe I do have voices in my head after all...
Now.. another questions approaches..
What to do? Stay and wait? Or should I just head back to my time again..?
After some debating back and forth for a while, I decided I would wait right here in this tree for one of them to come back out. How long that would take, I had no idea... But I would wait because I am determined...
Well.. my determinedness was going away.. I felt my eyes drooping. I slowly began to doze off.. I leaned against the tree and my eyes closed.. .I drifted off ... to.. sleep...
~*~*~*~
My eyes opened wide and I bolted up straight. How long had I been sleeping?! I looked around. The sun was still up, and it didn't seem to be getting darker... Good. I was only asleep for an hour or two.
Oh no! What if the two had left again!? Dammit I just screwed up again! Why do I always doze off when I shouldn't? Its a bad habit. But, bad habits die hard. And this one will probably never go away...
I sniffed the air, hoping to catch the scent of Kagome and make sure she was still in her house. I took a very large wiff and caught a bit of it. It was coming from inside her house. Good.. at least she's at home and not somewhere else.
I leaned back against the tree, realizing the this little nap didn't cause too much problems for me. Which was a big switch. Maybe, just maybe my luck would change!
Great. I'm even sarcastic in my thoughts.
Like hell my luck is gonna change. It'll never change. I'm always down on my luck. The only luck I ever have is bad.
Ok, InuYasha. Stop thinking about luck. Its reallllly annoying.
I sighed.
You know, (great. here I go with the 'you' again..) if you woulda told me that only day I'd be searching for jewel shards with a girl from a different time, a lecherous monk, a tough female exterminator and a little kitsune kid, I'd never believe it.
But hell, here I am. And look where I am. In a different time zone, confused about my feeling and everything. Geez...
I looked up at the sky. It was a really nice day out. Too bad I was spending it in a tree, waiting for a girl I'm crazy for to come out of her house so I can follow her.
Dammit I really sound like a friggen stalker...
Oh well.. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens next. The only thing I know.. is that I am InuYasha. Hanyou. And in love with a mortal girl from a different era.
Yes.. I do live a strange life, don't I?

Kagome looked down. "Oh yes! Books!" she said. She grinned and stood up. "Come on in. I'm sure mom can get us some soda or something."
"Thanks." said Houjo.
They headed for her house and I sent death glares at him. Of course, he was completely oblivious to it, along with Kagome. But the glares weren't at her. They were at him. I would never give Kagome a death glare, unless.. well.. unless it was a stupid reason... At that, I confused myself.
I snapped out of it when I heard the door close. The two of them had gone inside her house now. I shuddered. I hate than guy with such passion you have no idea..
Who is 'you'? Maybe I do have voices in my head after all...
Now.. another questions approaches..
What to do? Stay and wait? Or should I just head back to my time again..?
After some debating back and forth for a while, I decided I would wait right here in this tree for one of them to come back out. How long that would take, I had no idea... But I would wait because I am determined...
Well.. my determinedness was going away.. I felt my eyes drooping. I slowly began to doze off.. I leaned against the tree and my eyes closed.. .I drifted off ... to.. sleep...
~*~*~*~
My eyes opened wide and I bolted up straight. How long had I been sleeping?! I looked around. The sun was still up, and it didn't seem to be getting darker... Good. I was only asleep for an hour or two.
Oh no! What if the two had left again!? Dammit I just screwed up again! Why do I always doze off when I shouldn't? Its a bad habit. But, bad habits die hard. And this one will probably never go away...
I sniffed the air, hoping to catch the scent of Kagome and make sure she was still in her house. I took a very large wiff and caught a bit of it. It was coming from inside her house. Good.. at least she's at home and not somewhere else.
I leaned back against the tree, realizing the this little nap didn't cause too much problems for me. Which was a big switch. Maybe, just maybe my luck would change!
Great. I'm even sarcastic in my thoughts.
Like hell my luck is gonna change. It'll never change. I'm always down on my luck. The only luck I ever have is bad.
Ok, InuYasha. Stop thinking about luck. Its reallllly annoying.
I sighed.
You know, (great. here I go with the 'you' again..) if you woulda told me that only day I'd be searching for jewel shards with a girl from a different time, a lecherous monk, a tough female exterminator and a little kitsune kid, I'd never believe it.
But hell, here I am. And look where I am. In a different time zone, confused about my feeling and everything. Geez...
I looked up at the sky. It was a really nice day out. Too bad I was spending it in a tree, waiting for a girl I'm crazy for to come out of her house so I can follow her.
Dammit I really sound like a friggen stalker...
Oh well.. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens next. The only thing I know.. is that I am InuYasha. Hanyou. And in love with a mortal girl from a different era.
Yes.. I do live a strange life, don't I?
