Inuyasha Fanfic To Lose the One I Love
By: Chiruken
Chapter 11
"What?" She blinked in surprise, realizing that he was right. Her tears had stopped. In her anger she'd forgotten her melancholy and as a consequence she'd stopped crying as well. "Mou…Inuyasha, you can be a real jerk sometimes." Tossing her head she strode passed him and continued towards the clearing where they'd made camp the night before. She'd taken no more than five steps before she stopped and turned. "I almost forgot." She sent him a withering glare and pointed directly at him. "Inuyasha, sit!" She turned away, not bothering to stay to watch him be magically dragged to the ground by the rosary around his neck. It was enough to hear his startled shout and the subsequent crash of his body impacting with the ground with crushing force. "Inuyasha no baka!" She muttered under her breath as she stormed away, furious at his amazing lack of sensitivity towards her feelings.
Pushing aside some low hanging branches, Kagome stepped into the small clearing. "Kagome-chan? Where's Inuyasha?" Sango hurried to her friend's side, concern clearly written across her features.
"Smashed three feet into the ground, of course." Quickly retrieving her bag she turned to regard the older girl directly. "Sango-chan…would you please take me back to the Bone Eater's Well?"
"Wh-what? Why? What happened?" Seeing the dull hurt in Kagome's eyes the taijiya sighed. "All right. Kirara, please take Kagome to the well." The neko youkai transformed into its larger size and waited patiently for the girl to climb onto her back. "Thank you." She patted Kirara's neck affectionately before turning her gaze back to her friend. "Kagome-chan…you'll tell me what happened when you come back, ne?"
Quickly averting her gaze Kagome cleared her throat nervously. "Ano…" She hesitated briefly. She really hated telling lies…but she just couldn't tell her friend that she didn't intend to return to the Sengoku Jidai…ever. Swallowing with difficulty she forced a smile to lips trembling with unhappiness, feeling herself on the verge of tears again. "Sure…when I return…" She turned away quickly to hide what she was certain was a guilty expression. "Let's go, Kirara."
"Kagome!" Shippou bounded towards his favorite person in the whole world. "When will you be back?" His eyes widened when she ignored him and continued on her way. "K-Kagome?" The little kitsune youkai sat down with tears in his eyes. "Miroku…I don't think she's coming back…" Sniffing loudly, Shippou burst into tears, sounding as if his little heart were breaking at this sudden realization. "Inuyasha no baka! It's all his fault!" He wailed loudly as his tears rolled down his cheeks.
"Oi. Who's a baka?" The hanyou in question stepped out of the bushes looking even more annoyed than usual. He looked around with a scowl. "And what's all my fault?" His scowl deepened when he noticed Kagome and her bag missing along with Kirara.
"Kagome-sama has returned to her own time, Inuyasha." Miroku supplied helpfully, watching his friend's expression altering from anger to surprise to sadness and eventually resignation before he schooled his features into the habitual scowl he always wore.
"What did you say to Kagome-chan this time to hurt her feelings?" Sango planted her fists on her hips and glared at him. "Well?"
"Eh?" He sent her a bewildered look before turning his attention back to Miroku. "Oi. Bouzu…how long ago did she leave?"
"I think you should leave Kagome-sama alone for a while…she seemed very upset." He shrugged and leaned back against a tree in a relaxed stance.
"Just tell me!" He raised a fist threateningly and took a step towards the monk.
Shippou stood suddenly. "Why'd you have to go and hurt her feelings? Kagome's not coming back because of you!"
The hanyou stared at him with wide eyes for several tense moments. "Chikusho…" He whispered softly, ears flattening against his head. "Chikusho…" The curse emerged louder as his hands closed into fists. "Chikusho!" He shouted and took off at a dead run in the direction of the well. Kagome…I'm sorry…please don't leave forever! Shippou needs you…I need you!
