Hello fellow Inu-Yasha lovers. This fic isn't for those of you who hate the
absence of fluff in the T.V series. There will be fluff, but a lot of angst
as well.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inu-Yasha, or any of the characters. If I ask Santa and be extra-good, maybe I'll get them for my birthday.
Chapter 1. Beginnings of a Wounded Heart
Kagome jumped down the well, ready for another weekend in the feudal era. Her exams were all caught up, and she had a four-day weekend to spend with her second family. As she passed through the pink and purple fog that was her time- travel device, she wondered how mad Inu-Yasha was at her. Touching down, she looked up at the blue sky. *I've always liked it here. It feels like my second home* Smiling to herself, she climbed up and out of the well. And found herself staring into the eyes of a very pissed-off Inu- Yasha. "Where the hell have you been, wench? I can't believe we have to hold off our mission just to wait for you to come back! We should just leave you behind!" Inu-Yasha hollered. "Well, if I'm such a burden on you, stop waiting around for me to come back. Just go off on your own!" Kagome shouted angrily as she stalked towards the village. Ini-Yasha stared after her, shocked. "Feh, stupid girl" he muttered as soon as he regained his composure, "She thinks I wait for her by the well? I do not do that! Do I?" Shaking his head, he walked after Kagome's retreating form.
"Hello, everyone!!" Kagome cried as she walked through the doorway of Kaede's hut, where her friends were waiting for her. "Kagome! Welcome back!" three cheerful voices exclaimed. "Oof" Kagome said as she felt the weight of a small kitsune slam into her. "Kagome, I'm so glad you're back! Inu-Yasha has been mean to me ever since you left. All he does is sit and mope around that well." Shippou cried as buried his face in her waist. "I missed you too, Shippo, but look. I brought you a coloring book and some crayons," she said, reaching into her bag. Shippo squealed with glee (A/N: Like a little piggy) and ran to a corner of the hut to color in private. Sango came up and embraced her best friend. "Kagome, I'm glad you're back. Maybe now Inu-Yasha will stop moping. Why did you stay away for so long?" asked the young demon slayer. "Well, I had school work, and I'm studying for these major exams, but they are over next week. I have to go back in four days." Inu-Yasha walked in at this point, obviously very angry indeed. "WHAT! You to tell me, we have to bring you back here in four days?! Damn it woman, you're such an inconvenience to all of us! We SHOULD just leave you behind and go off on our own!" he shouted, waving his arms around wildly. Kagome turned to around and walked towards him until she was staring in his eyes. "If that's the case, there isn't any reason for me to come back, is there? I'll just go back home and never come back. That would make you very happy, wouldn't it Inu-Yasha? Then you're life would be so much simpler" she whispered. Inu-Yasha cringed. Her voice wasn't harsh, just a whisper, but there was something in it he'd never heard before. Like she couldn't decide whether to cry or scream, and she couldn't do both. This voice scared him more than the prospect of a million sit incantations. Before he could recover and respond, Kagome brushed past him, walking down that all too familiar path to the well. Inu-Yasha started after her. "Kagome, wait ...I....but...you.OWW!" Sango's hiraikotsu had suddenly found ITS WAY INTO Inu-Yasha's skull. Flaming, Sango yanked it out of his head and started screaming at him. "How dare you?! She has another life, you know!? You have no right to speak to her like that! Now you go after her, apologize, and bring her back NOW!!" Whimpering, Inu-Yasha scampered off after Kagome. "Sango can be as scary as Kagome sometimes" Shippo stated. Miroku, who had been silent until this point, just laughed. He was very proud of this usually calm demon-slayer. "If he had a tail, it'd be between his legs right now" he said, walking over to Sango to place a calming hand on her shoulder. She turned to him, glaring, and then burst out laughing. "You think ...I scared him.. enough?" she asked between giggles. "I never knew you could be so fierce. I'd be afraid too." Miroku said wonderingly. Sango stopped laughing. "Well, he has no right to speak to her like that. We all know he would've gone after her eventually. I just had to speed it up a little," she smiled. Kaede walked in at this point from the backway, noticed Sango and Miroku, and silently sliped out again.
"Stupid dog. I hope he falls in a bottomless pit," Kagome grumbled as she made her way back to the well. A tear formed in her eye, but she blinked it back. "No, I've cried enough over him. I'm finished," she whispered. Sighing, she flung herself over the edge of the well. Inu-Yasha arrived just in time to see the ends of her hair disappear into the well.
