Is it really necessary to have one of these on every page? I
think not....
(AN: Sorry about the little numbers. My friend, Pink Arrow Kagome has to
post my stories, since my INCREDIBLY STUPID computer won¹t let me. There
must have been something wrong with her computer too. Oh well, the numbers
seem to have replaced all of the quotation marks and all of the apostrophes!)
~Hey guys. Pink Arrow Kagome here. I know some of you were wondering
about the numbers, and like Foxshadow states above,
they replace quotation marks and apostrophes. It's how Foxshadow's
documents are sent to me. I will try to find them all and replace them with the
correct grammar symbol, but I might end up missing a couple. Well, on with the
story.~
Shattered Glass
Kagome's Backpack
"Kagome! KAGOME! Where the hell is that girl?" A very irate Inuyasha
sprinted out of the woods to a clearing. An ivy-covered well stood in the
clearing, with a misshapen lump next to it. "Kagome?"
He slowed down, and
crept cautiously to the lump. After poking it for a bit, he realized it
wasn't alive. What's more, he realized it was Kagome's backpack. Grinding
his teeth in anger he lifted up the backpack. "So, she left. But hah! she
left her bag here!" As soon as he said this, a piece of paper fluttered to
the ground. "Hm? What¹s this?" Picking it up, he found it was in Kagome's
handwriting.
Inuyasha and everyone-
I've gone back home for exam week. I left my bag here. It has all of your
stuff, like Miroku, I have your swimsuit/model
magazines and checkers game,
and Shippou, there's some candy in there for you. Sango, there's some soda
in there for you, and the big piece of wood you asked for. Inuyasha,
er,
sorry for leaving without saying anything. See you guys in a week!
Love,
Kagome
The rest of the group had arrived by now, taking turns to read the note.
"Well, looks like we¹re on our own, doesn't it?" Miroku handed the note back
to Inuyasha. "Now, shall we see what's in the bag?" He
rummaged around for a
few minutes. "Ooh, what do we have here?" He pulled out the magazines and
checkers, and a pair of Kagome's underwear. (AN: I know, I know, bad Fox,
but hey! He's Miroku! ^^) Suddenly, he slumped to the
ground, sporting a rather
large
bump on his head.
"Heh, good thing Kagome got me that wood," Sango stood behind Miroku,
gripping the wood like a bat. She picked up poor Kagome's underwear, and hid
it at the bottom of the bag.
Inuyasha, of course, totally ignored the whole thing.
He was busy re-reading
Kagome¹s note. "Damnit, WHY THE
HELL CAN¹T SHE TELL ME?!" He glared angrily
at the note.
Sango walked over to him. "She probably just
remembered at the last minute,
or else she would¹ve given us the stuff before she left."
"I know, but still..." Inuyasha trailed off. He and Sango stared at Shippou
attacking the lollipop in silence. Finally, Sango
spoke.
"Look, we had better get back to Kaede. C'mon, help
me lug Miroku back,"
Inuyasha glanced at the crumpled form of Miroku on the ground.
"Rather sad, isn¹t he?"
~*~ ^_^ ~*~
"Now what are we gonna do for seven days without
Kagome?" Shippou sat with
Kirara looking rather forlorn at the prospect of
spending an entire week
without Kagome.
"Hmph, I don¹t like this any better
than you do!" Inuyasha sat angrily on the
grass. "She thinks she can just leave us here, galloping off without telling
me!" He looked over to Miroku who wa
busy trying to beat himself at
checkers. "Are you gonna just sit there all day?
Either way, you'll lose and
win!"
"Exactly! I'll win! Can you tell Shippou to pass me
one of the sodas?"
Miroku looked back down at his checkers game.
"Are you two still not talking? Geez..." Inuyasha looked exasperated.
Shippou stuck up his nose and turned away.
"You can tell that idiot that I'm not talking to him unless he apologizes.
Hmph, he can¹t have a soda either!" Shippou gathered all the cans and
sprinted off towards Sango.
"HEY!! That brat took the sodas!" Miroku chased after
him, yelling curses.
Inuyasha snickered.
"Maybe Kagome never should have brought over those sodas..." At
the thought
of Kagome, Inuyasha frowned. This wasn't like her.
She would have told him
she was leaving. Sighing he stood up and looked around him. Miroku
was still
trying to catch Shippou, and Sango
was egging him on. Trying to think off
something to get his mind off of Kagome, he glanced at the half finished
checkers game. Smirking, he moved one black piece around, capturing all of
the red pieces. Chuckling to himself, he called to Miroku.
"Hey Miroku! I
beat you! Again!" Miroku
quickly forgot about Shippou and jogged over. As he
reached Inuyasha and the checkers game, he let out a
cry that sent the birds
in the trees nearby scattering.
"NO!! HOW DID YOU DO THAT!!!??" Leaving Miroku to obsess about he game,
Inuyasha went over to Kagome¹s backpack.
"I wonder if she left us anything else," he muttered. "Oh,
what¹s this?" He
pulled something out of the bag. Catching the sun's rays, it sparkled and
glistened. "Ooh..." Inuyasha was captivated by it. "A
mirror..."
"Hey Inu!" A voice rang out behind
him, causing him to jump and drop the
mirror. It hit the ground with a crash and broke into thousands of pieces.
Inuyasha quickly spun around snarling.
"WHO IS THAT! YOU MADE ME BREAK KAGOME¹S MIRROR-oh.....heh...er..." Inuyasha
trailed off. "H-hi Kagome..." He quickly tried to cover the shattered glass.
"Er, uh, what are you doing here?"
"Inuyasha, did you break my mirror?" Kagome¹s voice
was dangerously quiet.
"Well, you see, you just, er, surprised me and, I, uh..."
"THAT WAS MY BEST MIRROR!!!!!!" Kagome¹s eyes blazed. "AND YOU WENT AND
BROKE IT!!!!" But before she could finish, Shippou
leapt up.
"KAGOME! You're back! Sango, Kirara,
Kagome's back!" Sango and Kirara
came
running up.
"Kagome-chan! You¹re back! How come you didn¹t tell
us you were leaving?"
Sango looked at Kagome.
Kagome looked puzzled. "Didn¹t you guys get my note?"
"Yeah, but you normally tell us when you leave, besides, weren't you
supposed to be gone for a week?"
Kagome turned a slight red color. "Yeah, I thought exams were this week, but
they're next week." She smiled sheepishly. "Hey, where¹s Miroku?" Before
Sango could answer, however, Shippou
stiffened and stormed away in a huff.
"He's over there, puzzling over he checkers board. Him
and Shippou aren't on
friendly terms."
"Oh," Kagome turned and looked at Inuyasha. "Look, I'm...I'm...."
"You¹re what?"
Kagome sighed. "Sorry. I'm sorry. Yes, you don¹t need to gloat. Now, I'm
gonna go see if I can ease the tensions between Miroku and Shippou. Try and
do something about the mirror," Kagome turned away and walked over to
Miroku.
"Hmph, who does she think she is, telling me what to
do?" Inuyasha sighed,
then turned to the shards of the mirror. "What am I supposed to do about
this?" He looked around him. "Maybe I can just cram them down that selfish
bitch¹s throat," he said.
"HEY! INUYASHA, I HEARD THAT!" Kagome started over to him. Sango
called out
to Inuyasha.
"Run! She¹s gonna kill you!"

AN: Yes, another horrible chapter. Oh well......next one the plot should
start to actually go somewhere....^^
