Chapter 6-The War Begins
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"The humans are preparing to attack sir,"
"Good, it's just what we want, they'll attack and we'll declare war. That'll teach them to try and mess with us!"
"Yes Sir."
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Inuyasha was VERY careful around Kagome for the next few days. In other words, if he saw her, he would dive behind any object that would cover him. He still felt really bad for snooping around in Kagome's diary and the fact that she hated him still nagged at the back of his mind, no matter how much he tried to ignore it.
School was getting a little slack. The teacher's minds were obviously preoccupied, none of them bothered to teach much and they all walked around with looks of fear on their faces. The students thought this lack of education to be nothing more than it being near a holiday, but they were only half way through the school year and there were no vacations for months.
It appeared that Inuyasha also noticed this sudden change in attitude. He was constantly looking behind his back and walking around like there was some sort of stench under his nose. Nobody else had picked picked up on his weird behaviour except for Kagome.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"Sir! The youkai's are retaliating! There's no way we can stop them without this becoming public! They've declared war Sir!"
"Damn it! I should've seen this coming. Alright, inform the world leaders and contact the U.S. president and assist for back-up. Those youkai scum aren't gonna win this one!"
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"Inuyasha, what is wrong with you?" Kagome asked impatiently, unable to bear his sneaky behaviour any longer.
"Hmmm?" Inuyasha turned around to face Kagome. "I don't have to faintest idea what you're on about Kagome chan."
"You know perfectly what I mean!" She spat coldly at him. "You're constantly looking over your shoulder, remember that kid a few days ago? When he walked out in front of you? You nearly pulverised him! You've been acting edgy all week, so what is it?" Kagome stopped walking, put her hands on her hips and tapped her foot impatiently.
Inuyasha's features became soft and he stepped closer to Kagome. She was the only one who noticed........
Kagome's eyes widened as Inuyasha got closer to her. She stepped back a bit as he got within an inch of her face. "I-Inuyasha, what's wrong with you?" She asked softly. Was he going to kiss her? What if he did!
But, it seemed Inuyasha snapped back into his normal self. He smirked and backed away, laughing.
"Haven't you seen how edgy the teachers have been this week?" He asked as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Yeah," Said Kagome, furious half at herself for thinking Inuyasha would do something like kiss her and half at Inuyasha for not doing it. "But teachers are always drinking coffee, perhaps it's getting to them-"
"It's not coffee!" Inuyasha snapped. Kagome fumed and clenched her fists. Inuyasha stared up and the sky, his eyes becoming unfocused. "A war's starting."
Kagome looked stunned for a moment.
"Between who?"
Inuyasha's gaze became focused again and he looked at Kagome, his eyes were dark.
"Humans and youkais. Full blooded demons." He added, noticing Kagome's look of confusion. "Humans and youkais have been on edgy terms since the Sengoku Jidai. Not many people know that youkais even exist, the army and maybe the world leaders. Attacks have been made on youkai and human forces in the past month. Now war has been declared."
Kagome was utterly bewildered. Surely the youkais wouldn't attack innocent civilians? Especially if most people didn't even know they existed. The army would keep it quiet right?
As if he could read her thoughts, Inuyasha's face became very serious and he lowered his head slightly, making his brown human hair cover his eyes.
"The youkais are brutal. They are demons, they will kill anyone who is human, they same with the humans, they'll kill hanyou and youkai alike. They can't hide this war anymore. It's going to be bloody and long."
A long silence came. Inuyasha stood there with his head still down and Kagome, mouth wide open, tried to take it all in.
About five minutes past before they finally started back home in utter silence. There were too many thoughts in Kagome's and Inuyasha's head. Inuyasha was quite scared, youkais (and humans) would be coming from all around for the Shikom No Tama, how was he supposed to defend himself? And Kagome?
Inuyasha lifted his head up and watched her out of the corner of his eye. Kagome......
What happened if something happened to her? He would never forgive himself. And if they got the Shikon No Tama, complete chaos would surely start.
Walking along, Kagome's house slowly coming into view, Inuyasha made a promise to himself on the spot.
I'll protect Kagome,(and the Shikon No Tama) no matter what the cost........

Hello ^.^ Again, I took a while, my computer crashed AGAIN! Someone's trying to stop me from writing! -Shakes fist at sky- Well, I'm might not update for a while. 1-Because I'm Lazy and 2-Due to popular demand, I'm gonna start on a sequel to 'Samurai Princess'. I have NO idea what the story's gonna be about but I get a lot of reviews asking for more. Anybody else feel the same? Cast your opinion into the opinion box located at the bottom left of the screen.
