Kagome: Chapter 3
Important note: Here we go again! This happens at the same time as Inuyasha's chapter 3.

"Geez... so bright... I told mom to get some blinds on that window..." I murmured to herself. I stretched lazily, and an image of Inuyasha falling onto a stalagmite struck me like cold water to the face; I suddenly remembered where I was and everything that happened. "Inuyasha... if you weren't already... ...I'd... ..." I hastily wiped my eyes clear of the dampness that was already beginning to gather. "I'll go look. It's the least I can do." I stood up, and without doing anything else, headed straight for the cliff.

"So how the heck do I get down there!?" I cursed under my breath, scoping out the surroundings. The place that we had moved from that had seemed so perfect yesterday now brought back such sorrow and bad images... I quickly shook my head to clear it.
No time for thoughts like that. I searched around again until I finally found a small, narrow path, seeming to lead downward. I sighed, ran my hand through my hair. "Worth a shot... what choice do I have?" As I murmured reassuringly to myself, I began to follow the winding path down the mountain...
* * *
"Not again!" I cried, my foot slipping on a stone, causing me to loose my balance and almost fall. I managed to regain it, though, and continued down. I walked in silence for a moment before starting to speak out loud to myself. "Stupid path... stupid cliff... stupid demon... stupid Inuyasha... this is all his fault... if he had just let me fall..." I was reaching up to wipe tears off of my face before I even noticed I was crying...
"Heh. If Inuyasha could see me now, he'd probably pretend to be mad at me for crying so much." I whispered, my steps becoming robotic; I didn't notice I was walking anymore. "But... but he wouldn't be mad, would he? He'd be upset; he hates seeing me cry... it's just like him, I suppose..." He would have been really mad if he were here... I could barely see... I was crying so hard... "Damn... get a hold of yourself, Kagome!" I snapped, making a real effort to stop the tears. It worked to some extent; I could see now...
