****************************************************************
I started traveling to Inuyasha's home for two days now. It wasn't that hard to get food and water. I had my bow and arrows with me. My good friend, Kouga stayed at the destroyed village. There was one thing strange though… A feeling…A feeling of excitement! I was going to find Inuyasha. I had little butterflies in my stomach and I'd always blush thinking about him (which happened almost 24-7). During the day, I'd relive the memories of him in my mind…at night I'd dream of what could happen. The best part was that no one could wake me up from those dreams… Kouga couldn't growl at me, Aunt Sango couldn't make me feel uncomfortable by laughing, Uncle Miroku couldn't… I sighed.
"Aunt Sango…Uncle Miroku…I'm so sorry! I'm sorry I couldn't be there to protect you!!" I sobbed as I sat down in the forest. But then…something strange happened. I looked up at the night sky. I could see the stars twinkling, looking at me. I felt as if they were watching over me… It was as if the stars and the moon were cheering me on. But why would they want to guide such a pathetic person? I am making this long journey, where I may not survive, not to get needed medicine or something like that, but for my selfish desire to see Inuyasha again. 'Why am I doing this?' I asked myself. 'Really, the chances of being with Inuyasha are slim. I may die, he might be dead, I may never find him, he might not feel the same, he may have found someone else, or he may not even recognize me!' As soon as I thought that, my mind instantly made a comeback. 'Because I am going to try…' After all, the urge to go find him has called to me for four years. If I stayed back home with Kouga, the urge would nag at me even more. 'I'm insane! This whole idea is insane but I'm going to find him anyway. I'm going to follow this desire and see what it leads to.' Wants…desires…needs…urges. They are one of those funny things you cannot explain. Inuyasha has put me under a spell and he doesn't know it. He hasn't even seen or heard from me for four years and yet I am drawn to him like a fish to the bait.
I went through all my thoughts over and over when I heard someone in the bushes. I looked up to wait for whatever or whoever it was to reveal itself but it didn't. 'Maybe I'm hearing things?' I thought and sighed. I felt so alone…and yet… I so wasn't. Suddenly I heard something leap out of the bushes. Well, more like someone. It was dark, so it was hard to immediately identify the person standing before me but I squinted and realized who this person was…
"I-Inuyasha? Is that you?" I asked, bewildered at the sight of the adult Inuyasha, looking of at least seventeen years of age. "Kagome…" he whispered back. I felt the blush on my cheeks become warmer and my heartbeat became faster. It felt uncomfortable but I had to ignore it. "It's been so long…what are you doing here? Oh never mind that, the thing is you're here! My wishes have been granted…" he said. I blinked. He wished for me to come? I stood up and dumbly replied, "Well, here I am!" I could've said something better but my mind was racing and so was my heartbeat and the blush on my face. But I got used to it, and it slowly, slowly toned down a bit. I could think! He decided to hug me. To be held the way he held me… well…I couldn't think again. "I missed you so much, Kagome…I-I…" he couldn't continue his sentence and I realized that we were both under a spell-like force that drew our faces closer…and closer…I closed my eyes and felt his lips. We were kissing! I dreamt of the moment many times but it was actually happening! But he broke the kiss and I saw that his face was as red as mine. He looked really cute that way. But unlike my eyes, which were filled with happiness and ecstasy, his eyes were filled with fear and horror. I gave him a questioning look and he let go of me, looking away. "I-I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done that…You'll come with me to the village I am currently living at. We'll figure this out in the morning," he said as he picked me up and started running in the direction that was supposedly this village he was talking about. "Um, figure out what?" I asked, somewhat confused by his statement. "Please, Kagome, do not ask any more questions until the morning," he replied. I decided to keep quiet.
Inuyasha brought me to his village. I didn't know he lived in a village. I thought he traveled with his family… I decided to ask him that too the next morning. He left me with a nice old woman named Kaede who was to provide me with a place to stay. He went off somewhere but I didn't follow. Something was wrong with the situation I entered and I was about to find out the next morning! I prayed that it would all work out and wondered what could be wrong. All night I of course dreamed of Inuyasha…
Tomorrow would be very interesting…
