******************************
Four...long...hours.
It was enough to drive Kagome insane.
Not only had the insane family members of hers sang `Bottles of Pepsi on the wall', like that wasn't enough torture, but they had gone into full blast belted out verses of `She'll be coming around the Mountain', `Jingle Bells' even though it was summer, `The wheels on the car', and even a bit of the `Barney song....' They only stopped when Kagome had started singing that song with them...only substituting the words with her own dealing with shooting her family in the head if they didn't shut up.
Souta had glared at her for that one, "That didn't even rhyme."
"And it had too many syllables." Her grandpa added from the passengers seat with out turning to look at her.
Kagome just rolled her eyes and folded her arms in her lap. She didn't really care. It got them to stop singing for the first time in three and a half hours. Subconsciously she couldn't wait to get to the camp site, it would feel great to get out of the car and walk around the woods for a few hours away from the insane human psychopaths in which she called her `family'.
They wheeled around down a dirt road leading off from the mountain drive which had been inclining upwards making Kagome's ears hurt and pop. At least they didn't have to drive threw the mountains anymore and were staying at roughly the same elevation now.
She once had to go visit her grandma and she had been living in the mountains, high up in the mountains. Going up her ears had been throbbing so badly that they were even bleeding. Not the kind of thing you want to happen with an over protective grandmother around.
Kagome never had problems going down hills with her ears. They would be fine, but for some odd reason going up hills just really did a toll on her. Almost like the mountain's height was mocking her.
About a mile down the trail Jun pulled the car off of the dirt road and drove over to park next to a small stream near by. The engine stopped as she pulled the key out and took in a deep breath, "Here we are." She said happily as ever.
The exact opposite of what Kagome had been feeling at the time.
At the moment she was thinking about what ever came to her mind. Usually this consisted of things she would never do, just as it was now.
`We're in the middle of no where...and no one is around to hear them scream. I think Souta packed his baseball bat too...Now just to wait until sundown and I can take them out one by one with a good, firm, hard swing......yea right.' Kagome knowing herself knew she'd never be able to live with herself if she were to kill her family. No matter how insane they were.
Even if for moments she had to wonder...
Everyone got out of the car and went to set up their home for the next five days. Why couldn't they be normal and only camp for two days and go home on the third? That's what Kagome wanted to know, though she never asked.
Never found the right time to do so anyway.
It took a good hour and a half to set up the tent. One reason was because Souta had spent a who forty-five minutes refusing anyone's help saying that he could do it on his own. Then he finally let his grandpa help him...well just say that it took a half hour in all.
And when it had fallen for the sixth time Jun had decided to take a go at it and had it up in fifteen minutes tops.
Always good to have a nice strong mother around, now wasn't it?
"There," Mrs. Higurashi said as she dusted off her hands with a smug satisfied grin. "Now Souta. Would you go gather wood for the fire."
"Yes mom." Souta said with a bunch of childish enthusiasm. He did that every year since he could talk.
Kagome turned to escape her family on one of her favorite things to do. Walk.
"And you can go with him Kagome." Jun added without even looking behind her. It was like that woman was psychic or something. Even when Kagome was as silent as a gentle breeze, her mother still knew exactly what she was doing, and almost always where she was within a thirty foot perimeter.
"Can't I just-"
"You can go for a walk when you get back, dear." Jun said, interrupting her daughter like some kind of mind reader.
Kagome sighed as she trailed off after her little brother who had practically skipped ahead to go down one of the trails to the right. There were three trails in all that lead from the `secret spot', and all of them led to different places strung out threw the forest around them.
The two of them walked down the most right trial as there mother watched them go with a smile.
**~~...~~**
Inuyasha was leaning against the windowsill in the top tower of the old house. It was his favorite spot in the said twisted house for mostly one reason, Kikyou never bothered him up here. Well, not usually anyway. He couldn't figure out how the witch had lived so long. Then again it was probably just to spite him.
He still didn't know why he even bothered with her. She was a pain in the ass anyway. There was no point in keeping her alive anymore and he would much prefer just killing her off.
So why didn't he?
Inuyasha couldn't answer that question. He didn't know the answer and it really was irrelevant. He had made Kikyou's life a living hell on earth for making him immortal, and she still managed to just remain pale-faced with him, no matter what he did it didn't seem to bug her as much as he wanted it to, at least it hadn't been recently. But even still he knew he made her extremely miserable, too bad it worked both ways.
For the past four...no wait five...or was it six? He had lost track completely of how many years it had been now. Go figure.
Well, no matter how many hundred years it had been, he had done nothing but pester, annoy, trick, prank, laugh at, and all out verbally harass Kikyou. And just lately she had stopped reacting as he wanted her to.
Before she had completely gotten ticked off at him and threatened to kill him, which was what he was working for now wasn't it. He wanted to die already and get it over with. He wasn't scared and he wasn't really living the life he wanted so he wanted out of this torture once and for all. Living forever isn't living forever if you're locked up like an animal.
The only problem was that Kikyou had realized this as well and never went threw with her threats.
To Inuaysha's dismay as well, she was now refusing to even react when he walked into the same room as her, or shot a sarcastic remark at her, or even insult her out right. It was like she didn't care anymore. Like he had finally broken her down to the point where she just wanted to ignore him.
And that was what was boring him so much now. It was like he had absolutely nothing to do now except sit and wait for eternity to hurry up and get over with itself.
Inuyasha glanced over at the closed door to the top attic like tower as he heard foot steps come up the stairs and then stop, like they were listening just outside the door. He heard a shaky sigh as the foot-falls gently and slowly went back down the stairs.
It had been Kikyou again. Her dull scent could be smelt when ever she came within ten feet of him.
Why had she come up to the door in the first place? Because she was an insane loon who was just as lonely as him. She had done this quite a bit over the years. Kikyou would come so close to talk to him and then walk away like she couldn't bring herself to do so. It wasn't like they never talked, well...yea it was. They were too busy yelling at each other, never talking, only yelling. She never seemed to want to talk to him. She was just crazy.
Yep. Old insane Kikyou.
Inuyasha smirked at that thought. She hated it when he called her old, and that was probably an understatement. She didn't look a day over seventeen, but in truth she was just as old as the house, and that was a few hundred years older than Inuyasha.
Too much math was making his head hurt.
Inuyasha turned his head back to gaze out the window again. It was a bright summer day. The grass looked soft and lusciously green below him. The sky was clear except for the scarce soft broken white cloud here and there. The forest was in full bloom in the summer heat and everything was open.
Yep...a beautiful day...and Inuyasha couldn't enjoy it.
He couldn't feel the soft grass on his feet, he couldn't go out and walk threw the open fresh air, he couldn't stroll threw the beautiful forest. He just couldn't.
And he never will be able to.
"Stupid, old, senile Kikyou." Inuyasha said as he relaxed against the windowsill again, crossing his arms across his chest, and closed his eyes to take a nap, or maybe it was so he didn't self torture himself with the things he would never have again...
**~~...~~**
"I spy with my little eye...something.....green." Souta said happily as he picked up another good sized stick as he and Kagome headed back towards camp.
"Tree." Kagome said dully, also adding another log to the pile resting in her arms.
"Awww....how do you keep guessing them?" Souta asked eyeing his sister half- ly kind of hurt.
"Because you've picked tree for the past nine time's it has been your turn." Kagome said just as dully as before. Why were little brother's such a bother? And why did they have to go see that movie?
"Have not. It was tree leaf the fifth time." Souta said in a weak defense.
Which Kagome broke threw with ease, "Yes and for that I believe you said you spied something green on a tree..."
Souta looked at her, "You're just jealous." He scoffed.
"Oh yes. I'm jealous of you and your big head." Kagome said sarcastically with a smirk. Souta didn't say anything more except glare at her with enthusiasm.
They got back to the `secret spot' and put the logs down in a neat pile. It was a pretty good load for the two of them, even if Kagome had done most of the work.
Whoa'is the job of older-sisterhood.
"Mom! I'm going for that walk now!" Kagome yelled to her mother who was down by the creek with her grandpa.
"Ok. But be careful." Jun called back from the water.
Souta marched down to join his mother and grandfather as Kagome turned and went down the center path leading away from the camp.
It was her favorite trail, and it was a good scenic release if you knew where to go. There were many different turnoffs and forks in the road that you really just had to explore in order to learn where they went, and Kagome had been down most of them.
The year before she had tried a new one and got so close to touching a deer that she could almost feel it's body heat. It was amazing, and it had scared her senseless for a few moments when it had snapped it's head towards her and darted off in the opposite direction before she could say `uncle'.
She looked around and noticed all of the newer flowers that were in bloom. Wild flowers had always intrigued her the most out of any other kind of plant. They were just so rugged looking with the same sweet qualities as any other flower. Anything that looked rugged and sweet at the same time was the best possible, and that's where the wild flowers of the forest came in.
She leaned over on of the blue petaled flowers and picked it gently. Kagome raised it to her nose and smelt it sweetly before tucking it behind her ear for safe keeping, as she continued down the trail. These walks were the only reason she didn't all out refuse to go camping every now and then.
There was the sound of birds singing beautifully around her, as well as squirrels and other little animals creeping around, rustling up the leafs.
Kagome smiled at the tranquility of it all. She was nearing the first turn in the trail, letting her legs take her where ever they wanted too, until something happened that was a little too scary for her to comprehend.
She fell.
The side of the trail around the sharp turn must have gave way down the steep hill on the other side and there was nothing for her to stand on as her foot attempted to walk on air.
She stumbled down the hard rocky side of the hill, trying to shield her body from the hard ground with her arms. It wasn't working to good. Kagome hit a bump and stumbled forward, seeing the rocks before her face, and closing her eyes wishing the rocks to vanish. It didn't work. She felt a sharp pang zing threw her skull, and that was the last thing she knew before it all went dark...
