Chapter 2: Inuyasha's Words and Kagome's Smile

~

~

Inuyasha watched as Kagome emerged from the well, her face was emotionless, like everything

had been drained from her, the twinkle in her eye, that Inuyasha loved so much, was gone. Her

eyes were red from crying. Inuyasha walked over to her, and without any warning, she leaned

forward so that her forehead was now resting on Inuyasha's shoulder, suddenly overcome with

emotion, she cupped her hands over her face and started sobbing hysterically.

~

"I thought,"she mumbled threw her fingers,"I thought that coming here would help me forget, that

I would get over it, but-but,"she started to cry again.

~

Inuyasha had no idea what to do, but instinktivly he pulled Kagome into a hug and just let her cry on

his shoulder for a little while, while he slowly started to think the worst.

"What happened?" He asked somewhat shaken, when she started to calm down.

~

Kagome suddenly became all to aware of the strong arms that now held her in a hug, she looked

at Inuyasha and saw the worried expresion on his face, the look made her feel undeserving and

stupid, I mean, parents get re-married everyday, why should this be any different.

~

"Well?"He asked again, strangly tender.

~

"Uh-umm, well," she began," My mom got engaged, and I mean I guess I should be happy about

it, but- he doesn't like me very much, and, well, I don't like him much either..." her voice trailed off.

~

"Sounds like a basterd to me," Inuyasha said in his trademark "arrogant" tone,"Anyone who could

possibly hate you must be."

Kagome searched his voice for sarcassam, but found none.

Inuyasha would have done anything at that second to take back what he had said, not that he didn't

mean it. He was already coming up with an excuse for what he said when he looked at Kagome's

face, she now wore a smile, and had a slight twinkle in her eye. He felt suddenly proud, he had

made Kagome's face come back to life, it made him happy, though, he didn't understand why.

He thought to himself,'Its not like it is MY responcability to make her happy.' Still, he liked the feeling

of it.

~

"Thanks Inuyasha. That made me feel a lot better."

~

"Feh."

~

Kagome suddenly became aware of how late it was getting, and she motioned for Inuyasha and her

to go to Keade's hut to see everybody. She had missed Sango, Shippo, Keada, and even the pervert

himself, Miroku. She didn't know why she ever left this place. Then if hit her,' Damn school' she

thought..

~

They truged along slowly in silence until Inuyasha said,"So, what did your mother say when you became

so upset?"

~

"She told me,"Kagome said in a some what pissed off voice,"that she "didn't understand why I couldn't be

happy" for her, she said, "Though you may think it does, Kagome, the world doesn't revolve around you!"

she continued,"My mom has changed so much since she met him, I feel like I don't know her anymore."

She looked to the ground,"And on top of all that, I feel so stupid for being so upset, its not like it is MY

desision if she is to get married or not, I just wish that it was to someone that at least LIKED me..." her

voice trailed off.

~

"Seems to me," Inuyasha said in a calm voice,"That your mother's desision affects more than just her, I guess

she just doesn't realize it, how much it is hurting you...Did she see you crying?"

~

"Yes," she said somberly,"Then she said everything I just told you, when she left me I started for the well."

~

Inuyasha thought about this, he had seen Kagome's mother before, she always seemed so nice and caring,

like a good mother should be, but then he remembered how Kagome had also said that she had changed.

~

"Doesn't make any sense to me," he said finally.

~

Kagome just smiled at him.

~

"WHAT!?!"

~

"It's just that,"She began,"I am not used to you being so nice and caring towards me, Inuyasha... It's nice."

~

"Feh," he said, once again using his arogant "don't give a fuck" tone."I had to do something to get you to

stop crying,"he liked how his excuse was going, so he added,"Besides, it probably would have made you

lose your consentration on the shards, you are, after all, only the Shard Detector!"

~

With that her face became angery, she stomped on his foot so hard he kneeled over in pain, she stomped

off ahead with out him.

When he finally caught up to her, she said,"You can be so...so, urrgh! Irrotating at times!"

"Hmpf."was his only reply as he sulked along, arms crossed.

~

Why did Kagome always take everything so literally? Geez! What did she want him to say,"Oh Kagome!

let me hold you and make everything all better"? For some reason, that thought didn't bother him as

much as he thought it might...'CRAP,'he thought,' What the hell am I thinking.'

~

'Why does Inuyasha always have to be such a jerk!'she thought,'And right after he was being so sweet to

me?!'Then it occured to her,'What if he is just covering up how he really feels? No- Kikyo will always max

me out when it comes to Inuyasha's heart, I am just the "Shard-Detector",best not to even think about it...'

she thought somberly.

~

Inuyasha, realizing how late it was getting broke the silence and said"Everybody has probably already

eaten by now."

~

"Thats ok,"Kagome said,"I am more tired than hungery anyways, if fact, I think I will go right to sleep

when we get there-oh-"she said realizing that her tears had kept Inuyasha from getting dinner,"I am

sorry if I kept you from eating."

~

"Its ok,"he mumbled, slightly confused as to why she didn't seem upset with him anymore.

~

~~~~~~~~~~

~

At Keade's house everybody was waiting for Inuyasha to return with Kagome, it had gotten so

late they had decided to go ahead and eat without them.

~

"I wonder what is taking them so long." Sango announced.

~

"Think about it,"Miroku said slyly, though the expression on his face stayed the same,"It is late,

Inuyasha AND Kagome are late getting here, seriously Sango- What do you THINK happened?"

~

"Shut up," Sango said sternly.

~

"I don't get it."Shippo said innocently.

~

"Don't get what?"Suddenly all eyes turned to the door where Inuyasha and Kagome were now

standing.

~

"I didn't get what Miroku said, about what was taking you so long."he replied oh-so-sweetly.

~

"And just what did Miroku say,"he asked, staring at the monk who was now studying something

that appeared to be on the wall to the right.

~

"Oh just drop it, Inuyasha!" Kagome said somewhat playfully.

~

All eyes were now on Kagome, her red face, and her tear stained cheeks.

~

"Kagome,"Sango said, sounding conserned,"What happened? Why were you crying?"

~

"Yes, Kagome," Miroku added,"Whats wrong?"

~

Then all three of them looked at Inuyasha, who didn't know what was going on, and they all

said "Did HE(refering to Inu) have something to do with it?"

~

"Hey!" He yelled in his own defence,"What-cha blamin me for?"

~

"Because its ALWAYS you,"Shippo informed him in an innocent, matter-o-factly tone.

~

Inuyasha was about to hit Shippo on the head when he felt Kagome's hand on his shoulder,

she said with a smirk,"No, not this time, but if you don't mind, I am kind of tired and don't

really feel like talking, I think I will just go to sleep." Then she added,"By the way,"She was

looking around,"Where is Keade?"

~

"Oh, Keade,"Sango began," Well someone in the village became ill, she had to go and stay

with them, she will be back as soon as she can." Then she added,"You do look tired, I

think mayber you SHOULD go to bed. If you want, we can talk in the morning." She said,

hopefully.

~

"Ok, sounds good," Kagome replied,"Good night everyone."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Kagome was sound alseep, Miroku interigated Inuyasha to attempt to find out what happened

that made her so upset.

Inuyash, who was attempting to fall alseep, opened one eye, looked at him and said," Didn't you hear

her say she would tell you tomorrow?"

~

"Yes," he said, not having anything clever to back it up with," But I would just like to know." then a smile

crept on his face," She didn't tell you, did she." he closed his eyes.

~

"Well, think what you want, I am still not talking." Inuyasha said strangly cool.

~

'Hmm, I wonder what has come over Inuyasha,'he did something resembling a laugh, though, toned down,

and thought,'he must just be tired'. With that he closed his eyes and drifted to sleep, along with Sango,

Shippo, Kagome, and Inuyasha.
