Chapter 3: Loneliness
Inuyasha lay in his tree brooding that day. Miroku and Sango took off on their own yesterday and he was left with Shippo. And that gave him even more reason to be mad.
"Inuyasha…" whined Shippo, "will you come down now? I'm booored!!!"
Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Kids like you should shut their mouths if they know what's good for them," he growled.
"But you haven't even come out of that tree since yesterday! And I have nothing to doooo!!!"
"Urusai ne?"
"I am no-ot!" wailed Shippo, "your just mad because Kagome isn't here!"
Shippo smiled as a horrible little kid would when they said something to really annoy someone.
"Urusei!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Hah! And I bet if she was here, she'd sit you a thousand times!" and then added a bit softer, "I wish she was here, though. Don't you- hey! WHERE DID YOU GO?! DON'T LEAVE MEEE!!!"
But Inuyasha had to get away. He didn't want to even think about Kagome. That was a painful spot that he had locked away 7 months ago. And he put it deep within himself along with things that had happened 50 years ago. He had forgot about her. Hadn't he?
"No," he thought, "I'm cursed with not being able to forget. I can't forget anything about her. This is hell. I need to get away from everything. Then I might have a better chance."
Inuyasha then broke in to a run and ran as fast as he could through the fields. But as he intersected a road, he almost ran over Miroku and Sango.
"BAKA!!!" yelled Inuyasha, "where the hell have you been these past few days?!"
Miroku sighed, "Sango heard rumors of a demon that was terrorizing a town just north of here. She wanted to go so she could help them out and I went with her in case it was…more than she could handle."
"AND LEAVE ME WITH A CRYBABY WHO CAN'T GIVE ME A MOMENT'S PEACE?!"
Just then Shippo came wailing down the road, "INUYASHA COME BACK!!! YOU'RE SO CRUEL!!!"
Inuyasha turned to the two and said, "See what I mean?! He won't shut up!!!"
Sango picked up the wailing Shippo and clamped a hand tight over his mouth. "Stop crying Shippo. You're giving us all a headache."
Miroku looked around, "Maybe we ought to get off the road."
"Feh! We can finish this HERE!" yelled Inuyasha.
"Well fine if you wanna get run over, but we're going somewhere else," said Sango, "if you want to 'finish' this, we'll be under that tree over there."
And the three of them walked away with Kirara close behind.
"Feh," said Inuyasha, and he walked in the opposite direction.
Sango rested her Hiraikotzu (I really gotta learn how 2 spell that _ gomen!) against the tree.
"Inuyasha's really not doing well is he?" asked Sango.
"Not really," said Miroku, "I thought he'd be a little more resentful myself. I mean, he did make Kagome run away."
"Kagome ran away because she expected Inuyasha to come and get her. Inuyasha let her, because he expected to be able to see Kagome the next day and force her to come back. They both put a lot of faith in that and when that pattern broke, it shattered both of them. If Kagome were here, she'd probably be spilling out how sorry she was and saying that she'd never leave again. But you'd never see Inuyasha show his real feelings. He locks them away and once they're gone, they're gone. Actually, the only time that they did resurface was when Kikyo showed up."
Sango finished and looked at Miroku.
He sat there looking dumbstruck, "How in the world did you figure that out?"
Sango sighed and patted him on the head, "It's called watching and learning, Miroku. It helps."
"You watch too much and say too little," complained Miroku, "actually that was probably the longest you've ever talked Sango."
Sango glared at him, "Haha. Very funny, but you could benefit from my ideas."
Then she got up and left.
"What?" whined Miroku. And he fell backward.
Inuyasha had walked all the way to the well that Kagome usually came out of. It looked the same as it always had.
He sniffed the air. Kagome's scent was still there. No, It was Kikyo's scent. Had she been here too? Recently?
Inuyasha sniffed the air again. It seemed as if her scent was coming from inside the well. Was that possible?
He stood on the wooden rim of the well and then jumped in.
He expected it not to work, and after, he'd beat himself up about it telling himself how weak he was. Instead, Inuyasha could see the ground fading away to blackness.
Inuyasha couldn't wait to see Kagome. (although he'd just as soon admit it than having to defeat naraku all over again) He waited and knew that in just a few seconds, it would fade into Kagome's world
But it didn't. It stayed black, and soon, Inuyasha was immobile.
He looked around and scanned the place.
"Dammit. There's nowhere I can see to get out."
Then someone appeared. It was a person with black hair and a white haori and hakama.
"Hello Inuyasha. I've been waiting for you."
