I finished the first chapter of my Spanish fic! *gets starry eyes* Now all
I have to do is hope that I don't fail my class miserably and wait for it
to be corrected. I even put a disclaimer in Spanish! Ok, well, I hope you
know that that means that I don't own Inuyasha or Kagome or Kagura or
Miroku or Sesshoumaru or Naraku or Kouga or Kikyo or Shippo or Rin or Souta
or Kanna or...*names all the characters in the series* Fine, I'll shut up
now.
katy: I have no intention of not continuing, so don't worry.
gatogirl1: I love you! *glomp* You reviewed both chapters! They're not exactly little anymore, but it is really kawaii. Yeah, Inuyasha's a few years older than Kagome, but it's kinda hard to tell since he's not familiar with the human world. To him, it's just here and now.. or before or later. I agree that they're too young to have any serious fluff yet. They're only supposed to be best friends that haven't seen each other in a very long time. Like when I met one of my old friends almost five to six years later, we automatically hugged and ran upstairs so we could stay away from the "evil" parents. It's mostly Inuyasha calling to her, but the forest is kinda magical because it's the home of spirits and demons.
Chapter 3
River of Tears
Kikyo carefully peeled the apple and chopped it up before taking another one, just washed by Kagome.
"Dad's going to be happy," Kagome smiled, "but he's going to insist that we eat the pie ourselves."
"Nonsense!" Kikyo said, "He's going to eat it no matter what! I'll shove it down his throat if I have to!"
Kagome giggled at her stepmother's determined and stern attitude to make her father eat. He had been sick for the past three years and they now depended on spinning yarn and weaving cloth. He normally spent his time in bed, spinning and talking with the two others in the family.
She opened her mouth to say, 'I'd like to be there to see that,' but it came out as, "I'd like to be in the forest right now."
"What?" Kikyo's head snapped up.
Realizing her mistake, Kagome recovered with, "Well, I thought that maybe I could pick some wild berries for old times' sake. I'm sure Dad will be happy."
Kikyo noticed the quickly approaching dusk and answered, "Alright, but I want you back be sunset."
Kagome groaned, knowing that she'd barely have ten minutes. "Fine, I won't." she struggled to suppress the instinct to dash to freedom in the trees that were so close yet supposed to be so far.
"Good," Kikyo said, satisfied, "I don't want you running off at night again." She looked at her stepdaughter's sad face and sighed. "Fine, you can go, but no later than an hour past sunset. You have one more chance."
"Thank you, Kikyo," Kagome hugged her tightly, "I love you!"
"I love you too, dear. Now hurry up."
Kagome picked up a shawl and hurried into the trees. She stopped at the biggest tree halfway in between Inuyasha's home and her own. There, she saw him leaning against it casually, waiting for her.
"What are we doing today?" she asked him.
He blushed and said quickly, "Doyouwannagotothegatheringwithme?"
Kagome blinked. "What?"
Inuyasha sighed and said, "Do you wanna go to the gathering with me?"
"What's a gathering?"
"It's a thing with youkai," he explained, "You know, a gathering."
"Sure," Kagome nodded, "What do you do?"
At that, Inuyasha flare up again and muttered, "When we reach a certain age, the males have to bring a possible mate."
Kagome's face matched Inuyasha's and she looked at the multicolored leaves on the beaten path. "Well," she said, still studying the leaves, "I'm guessing that you need to bring me."
"Hell yes," he snorted, "None of the female youkai are gonna go with a hanyou like me, and you're the only human that I know."
Kagome looked up at him, shocked, angry, and hurt. "You mean you're just asking me because no one else wants to go with you?" she screamed.
"Yeah, bitch!" Inuyasha yelled back after covering up his surprise, "Do you really think that I would decide to choose a human mate before a youkai?! Humans are weak and useless!" He stopped as the scent of salt reached his nose. "H-hey! Stop crying bitch! Hey! I said to stop!"
"Fine!" Kagome glared up at the older boy angrily, tears still streaming down her cheeks. She whirled around suddenly and started to stomp back towards her house.
"Hey! Bitch! Where do you think you're going?"
"My name is Kagome!" she screamed back at him, "I thought you knew that already and I think I'm going home! You know, every time I leave the forest, I forget about you! I'm leaving and I'm not going to come back!"
Inuyasha stared at her silently as she sprinted back home. He could have easily outrun her and taken her back to the tree. He could have forced her to come to the gathering with him. He could have done many things to her, but something held him back. He felt a sudden squeeze in his chest and brought his hand up. Sighing, he turned and disappeared into the shadows. At least the gathering was next month.
Tears trailed after her as Kagome ran as if she was being chased by all the youkai in the forest as she tried to reach the safety and security of her home. She closed her eyes for a moment and... WHAM!
"Ow," Kagome rubbed her forehead where she had collided with a tree. She glared at the tree as if it was its fault for being there before she sighed to herself, "Well, at least I'll have an excuse for crying." She continued at a much slower pace with her eyes open at all times after that.
Kagome entered the house to be greeted by deadly silence...literally. She carefully made her way to her father's and Kikyo room and stopped in her tracks at the scene before her. Her father seemed to be sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed calmly and Kikyo was holding his limp hand. Kagome would have thought that he was just sleeping if Kikyo had not looked up at her sadly with salty trails on her cheeks. She laid her husband's hand down on the bed gently and the two women rushed into each other's arms for comfort. Kikyo wept for the death of her husband and Kagome sobbed for her father and some other unknown being.
After the funeral, Sango and Miroku helped Kikyo and Kagome reach their home safely and walked with Kagome to the garden where it met with the forest. "There's something else isn't there?" Sango asked her best friend as they sat down on some large stones.
"What do you mean?" Kagome looked at Sango forlornly.
"Well," Sango tried to put it into words, "I understand that you would cry for your father as much as you did, but your eyes seemed like you had lost more than your father for you to be that sad."
"I agree," Miroku nodded, "But Kagome, who or what is this other person or thing that you lost?"
Kagome stared out into the path between the trees and whispered, "I don't remember. All I know is that every time I think or look at these trees, I feel like my heart is being torn apart."
Miroku would have made a comment if the situation had been so serious and sad. Instead, Sango said, "Kagome, I think you should go into the forest again. I thought it was coincidence the first two times, but you know, third time's a charm."
"What do you mean?" Miroku asked her.
"Well, when we were around five or so, Kagome felt that something special was in the forest but couldn't remember what it was and the same thing happened three years ago," Sango explained, "Kagome, I think you should go and find that special someone that you've been meeting and forgetting. We'll give you privacy."
Kagome hesitated, but both her friends were wise in their own ways and if they agreed, she would go ahead and do it. "Sure," she agreed, "I'll do it in a few minutes. I just need to...think."
Sango nodded before dragging Miroku away. Once her two friends were gone, Kagome ran into the forest. 'Inuyasha!' she thought once she had entered the shadows of the greenery surrounding her, 'Inuyasha! Please be there! Please be at the Goshinboku!' The memories of their last fight came flooding back to her and she started to sob. 'I'm sorry Inuyasha! I didn't mean it! Please be there for me!'
She reached the large tree and looked around. There was no hanyou, no red and silver flash through the trees. Inuyasha wasn't there. Crying, Kagome hugged the tree like a lifeline and slid down the trunk. Her body racked with sobs until it finally went limp from fatigue. From the bushes, Inuyasha emerged and looked down at the girl clutching the tree and his expression softened. He bent down, touching her gently, mindful of his claws and whispered, "I'm sorry for your father," before he scooped her up and bounded to the edge of the forest.
Kagome woke up in her bed the next morning and looked around. 'How did I get back home?'
Erm...yeah. Two things, I finally made Inuyasha act like Inuyasha even for a little while and I was wondering if I should bump the rating up. I mean, now that Inuyasha's gonna be cursing, I'm not sure if it should stay at PG, so let me know what your opinion is.
