Chapter 2- Old Tears and New Hope
Kagome had been in such a great mood since she had that dream. You know, the one about her actually getting to kiss Inuyasha. She got to touch his soft creamy skin as he ran his fingers through her long gorgeous hair. It had felt so good, to be cared for that way. She loved it. Except the part for waking up. She knew Inuyasha would never reveal his love to her.
He was just too stubborn. That was the one flaw in him. He was handsome, strong, and sometimes actually cared for her. But he just couldn't show any emotion when it really counted. She hated, the way whenever they in an intimate moment, he got would get that weird look in his eyes and make some dumb excuse, telling her he had to be somewhere. Otherwise, everything had been in good order. She had been in the best of spirits until Inuyasha had been whining about how they are so far behind in collecting, the shards of the jewels.
"You know Kagome, I don't think you don't take this serious", he complained to her. "You just go off and take a nap when ever this work to be done."
"What are you talking about? I don't have to be here when I could go back to my time and live a NORMAL life! And remember, without me, you couldn't find those shards. And, I do not just take naps whenever possible. I take them when needed", she shot back.
"What do you mean need? I don't need that much sleep and I do most of the fighting!"
"Inuyasha, calm yourself down. This is not a good way to start off our day", Miroku said from behind them. Miroku and the others had been walking loftly behind them,watching Kagome and Inuyasha's bickering. That was until, the young monk had been nudged in the side, by Sango, trying to hint to him that he needed to calm them down. Kagome might even leave, as she sometimes does, when they fight.
"Shut up monk. This applies to you too. You are constantly chasing after women to 'bear your child'. Ugghh! Your such leach", rambled Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, did something happen to you? You're so moody", asked Shippou. Inuyasha stopped at glared at the kitsune.
"I AM NOT MOODY!!!!" he yelled, making Shippou jump into Kagome's arms. "I am just trying to get some work done around here. And Kagome, do you mind taking off that disgusting sweater. You have been wearing that thing for so long and it absolutly reeks!"
"Inuyasha, I can't believe you. For your information I have been wearing this because it has been getting colder lately. But, if you don't like it, I make it so you don't have to deal with it", replied Kagome.
"Thank you", said Inuyasha feeling like he had gotten something done.
"If you don't like it. I'll just leave! Inuyasha you are sometimes so rude. I-I don't understand you!" she said while tears came streaming down her face.
As soon as she said that, Kagome jumped on her bike and rode the path opposite of that of Inuyasha's. He did nothing to comfort her.
He simply said, "Fine let her go. We can manage fine with out her. Most of the time she was the 3rd wheel anyways." There were no questions asked.
He didn't show it, but his insides were squirming with regret. He felt guilty about making her cry and letting her leave. But his stubbornness stopped him from going to stop her.
Miroku, Sango, and Shippou all started yelling at Inuyasha for being so rude. This had all become a routine. But they knew Kagome just needed a little time to cool down. They knew eventually she would come back, wouldn't she?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome pedaled her bike as fast as she could, her grief and anger fueling the action. You could see the tears drip down her face, and onto the ground. She was hurt. Kagome had only worn that sweater in hopes that Inuyasha would like it, not the other way around. She wanted to leave this world and never come back.
"I am so sick of Inuyasha!!I hate him! I hate him!" her vision was so blurred that she didn't even notice the deep groove on the path. Her bike wheel stumbled over it and Kagome lost her balance and fell to the rocky ground.
Kagome's world was just crashing down on her. Trickles of tears fell down her now dirty face. A sting of pain shot out across her face as the salt droplets fell across a cut she gained from her fall. She didn't want to get up.
"If only he knew what I felt like. If only felt the same way about me..." she whispered to herself. Kagome eventually got up and cleaned herself off, discovering her clothes were filthy and there was a scrape across her left leg that was oozing blood. She washed it off in a nearby spring, her old tears drying on her face as new ones quickly replaced them.
How many times had she cried because of him? How many of his words sent her home with new pain in her bruised heart. She knew there was no way she could ever replace Kikyou as the one he cherished, yet she couldn't help loving him.
Once she had reached the well back to the present. She had sat there for the longest time, just thinking about what she was going to do.
"If I go, will Inuyasha come after me?" she wondered aloud. Her tears had long stopped flowing, but her vioce still held traces of grief.
She eventually made her decision. She would go back, and when Inuyasha stopped being a bull-head and came to get her, she would return with him. Decision made, Kagome had both feet in the well, and was clutching the shards around her neck until a voice from behind stopped her.
"You shouldn't let him get to you."
Kagome knew that voice. She turned around, only to see Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's older brother. In the trees behind him was his little green minion, Jaken. Jaken appeared to be chasing a little girl in a orange kimono around. But Kagome just looked at Sesshomaru. What had he meant?
"What do you mean?"
Sesshomaru just looked at her with that emotionless face.
"I mean, you shouldn't let my idiot brother's foolishness stop you from trying."
Kagome was shocked. What did this care about ehr relationship with Inuyasha. From everything that Sesshomaru had done in their past encounters, it was quite clear that he did not care about her or any of their group. But to be honest, she didn't want to deal with this now, so she simply shrugged and turned back to the well.
"I could help you."
