secret plans to kidnap Inu Yasha* ~~
~~Chapter Two~~
"Kagome!"
Kagome laughed as Shippo leapt into her arms. Shippo always seemed so happy whenever Kagome came back to the Feudal Era. Unlike a certain spoiled little hanyou she could think of.
Pushing the exasperated thoughts from her head she turned and smiled at Sango and Miroku, who were leaning against a tree near the well. Sango's pet and best friend, Kirara, dozed in her kitten form in Sango's lap, purring as Sango stroked her head. Miroku was quite happily half-sleeping half-meditating in the shade of the tree.
She returned their waves and smiles as she headed over to them, Shippo clinging to her back. "Hey, everyone," she greeted them warmly.
The pair smiled back at her and started to gather their things. Kagome bent to help fold up several pads and blankets and suddenly glanced around, her eyes narrowing. 'A demon already?' she thought. 'Where's Inu Yasha?'
Sango and Miroku both tensed and reached for their weapons when suddenly a blast of wind heralded the arrival of Kouga, leader of the Wolf Clan. He grinned arrogantly at Kagome and embraced her warmly.
"Hello, Kagome" he whispered in her ear.
Kagome eyebrow twitched as her fist clenched to push him away. She tried pushing a little, and then suddenly a deep voice growled from behind Kouga.
"Get away from her, Wolf-boy."
Kouga hardly even tensed as he turned to glare at Inu Yasha, who was standing just behind the tree that Sango and Miroku had been leaning against. He surveyed the dog hanyou with a haughty eye until he perceived the aura flowing around Inu Yasha. The scathing remark he had readied to throw died in his throat. 'I wonder what his problem is,' he mused to himself. 'He's not normally this angry. and I sense some kind of deep resentment in him that isn't directed at me. Something's wrong with the Dog Boy.'
Remarkably, Kouga released Kagome without a fight and smiled at her. "I will have to see you another time, my dear," he said to Kagome, gripping her hand. "The stench has suddenly become unbearable."
Kagome blinked at him as he saluted and ran off, the Shikon Jewel shards in his legs carrying him miles away in seconds. She turned to Inu Yasha, puzzled at this sudden reaction from Kouga, and Inu Yasha's strange nature. Sango and Miroku shrugged and continued packing up their belongings as Shippo glanced from Kagome to Inu Yasha worriedly.
Kagome smiled reassuringly at Shippo as she moved closer to Inu Yasha. He turned away from her, leaning against the tree and crossing his arms. Kagome stood beside him, staring out at the forest. She knew that now would be the best time to tell him about her upcoming departure. 'Ooo, I don't want to tell him,' she thought. 'He's going to get mad at me. But I already made the plans! Oh, well, here goes nothing.'
"Inu Yasha?" she asked tentatively.
The white-haired hanyou "hmphed" in reply.
"I have to go back home in two days."
Kagome braced herself for the impending yelling, but none happened. Inu Yasha simply raised his head and looked at her strangely. "Why?" he asked.
Kagome blinked and stepped back a step. What was wrong with him? "I-I have a dance to go to," she replied, stammering because he had caught her off guard.
"Do you really have to?" he asked softly.
"Yes," she said, getting a little angry now. "I already have a date, and I won't stand poor Hojo up again just because you want me to find shards for you!"
Inu Yasha didn't reply, but moved over to the well and looked down it. Kagome waved her friends back as she followed him, puzzled. Inu Yasha's voice was soft and pained.
"Are you going to wear that blue dress?" he asked.
"Of course I am, that's why I. wait a minute, how did you know my dress was blue?!" she cried indignantly.
"I saw you dancing in your room," he said. "You looked. happy."
Kagome sat down on the well next to Inu Yasha, looking at her feet. "I was happy," she explained. "Hojo's such a good guy and I'm really looking forward to it."
Inu Yasha growled suddenly, his claws tightening on the wooden border of the well. The wood splintered and cracked under his hands and Kagome leapt up, frightened. Inu Yasha ceased immediately at her movement, turning to stare at her with wounded eyes. "Did you even think to invite me to your "dance"," he demanded harshly.
Kagome blinked a few times. "Why would I? I didn't think you were interested in those sorts of things."
Inu Yasha narrowed his eyes at her. "Do what you like. You always will anyway, no matter what I feel."
Kagome stared at him, shocked, as he jumped away into the trees. Shippo toddled over and touched her leg gently. "Kagome?" he asked softly.
Kagome shook herself a little and bent to pick up the little fox. As she walked back to Sango and Miroku, she couldn't help but glance back behind her to see if Inu Yasha was following her.
Only the trees and breeze. no Inu Yasha.
