Testing The Theories Of Love
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and its characters... if I did right now I would be sitting on a pile of cash instead of the floor... Hehe. ˆ.˜ But I am that close to being that poor, seriously if you look in my purse all you will see is about 21 cents worth of change... LoL.
I am soooo SORRY everyone!! That I updated SO late! From reading my reviews though, I see that most you didn't like my cliff hanger, or how I ended it... making it seem that I truly ended it when I didn't. Gomen-nasai!! I promise I won't do it again! u.u I hope you can forgive me... LoL. But it does a person some good to wait a little while for what they want, and not always get what they want. It teaches a person perseverance, patience, and humility.... LoL. Or so I think. Anyways on with the story. And thank you guys for those who stuck with me and decided to keep reading my story I truly appreciate it! ˆˆ
Also I would like to let all the readers know right now that I might not be updating as frequently as I would like, but the reason is because the school year is almost over and I'm graduating this year. So I am going to be extremely busy with college stuff, graduation stuff, finishing off the projects, and studying for my AP Government exam... (Yes I still have to take an exam!! At least it's the only one I have to take! ˆˆ;;) etc, etc. Plus I think that I am going to try and get another summer job so hopefully I will be able to pay for college. I need a new computer/labtop, VERY expensive programs/software for my major... etc. So please forgive me if I'm not updating as much, but I will try!!
Thanks for understanding. n.n

And don't worry I'll tell you when there is a flash back. ˆ.ˆ
What happened last time... (Just a little refresher ˆ-ˆ)
"Kikyo... I hope that you finally find peace amongst the living and the dead," Kagome stated grimly but truthfully.
"Inu—yasha—" Kagome trailed off before reaching to grab his hand until he....
Inuyasha slowly then made an attempt to embrace her in his arms one last time, while whispering in her ear, "I love you Kagome, don't ever forget that. I'm sorry the way this all worked out, and that I was always a pompous jack-ass around you. But please forgive me." Inuyasha finished while laying his ears flat down on his head, cradling her saying now that he didn't know what made him pick Kikyo.
"Inuyasha?"
"Yes Kagome?"
"Do you really mean that Inuyasha, do you really love me?" Kagome frightfully asked.
Chapter 2: Confusing Times... And Their First Meeting.... ---------------------- (ˆ.ˆ)
His eyes swirled and he viciously he slapped her away from him. With that he spat venomously, "Get away from me you wrench! Don't even touch me! You don't mean anything to me and never did. So get that through your slow-witted brain. I'm with Kikyo, I always was, you were just too stupid to notice. I always will be with Kikyo," he added hissing in a dangerously low voice; flexing his claws.
"Inu—Inu—yasha?" Kagome trembled. Interlocking her hand to stop them from shaking. That look that Inuyasha was giving her was scaring her, never had she seen him this cold to her, never has he been this inhuman to her before. For that was the first slap she has ever received from Inuyasha like that, he had never raised a hand to her before... Kikyo... came along.
Did he not even remember what she just asked him?
«Wait... what was that? I swear his eye color just changed. ¤Sigh¤ I think that I'm under too much stress right now... I'm seeing things.» Kagome chided herself.
«But its such a cold, dead stare now not like it was before when he said he loved me... it's like he's actually seeing right through me. It's as if I really don't exist to him...» Kagome concluded sadly.
"Go on, go home! You're not wanted here, and never was BITCH!!" Inuyasha bellowed.
"Fine! Osuwari, osuwari, OSUWARI!" Kagome screamed back. Bitting her swelling lip so he would not be able to see the trembling in it, and hopefully not notice the tears that were starting to well up in her eyes.
¤Thud thud THUD!¤ Was all that was left echoing through the forest after the dead silence that ensued both of the two former companions from the strings of curses coming from Inuyasha's mouth.
Inuyasha then violently shook his head, and let out a feral growl. If a person actually looked close enough they could slightly see the change in his eyes again. For his eyes started to swirl a golden brown from the previous dead, blank cognac colored eyes.
"It seems that Inuyasha had some sense knocked into him from all those "sit" commands. He seems more calm... I don't know how to explain it, but his aura changed as well," Miroku whispered to Sango.
"Yes I agree Miroku. I noticed Inuyasha wasn't acting himself lately, especially towards Kagome, but now I've realized he's only acted this way when Kikyo is around... that dumb bitch," She muttered to herself. "Strange isn't it though how he can be so amiable towards Kagome and then the next practically shove her through the well," Sango commented back in a whisper.
"Hmm. Let's just keep on eye on Kagome for now and make sure nothing becomes of her either," Miroku concluded.
"Kuso! What did I just do? I didn't want to say all of those things I said," Inuyasha whispered to himself. "Ha, they're not even the truth... I still do care for you... Kagome. I meant both times that I told you I loved you," he finished in barely a whisper that was only heard by Kikyo. Whose eyes then glowered at Kagome who was completely unaware of what was just said.
That was when a lone tear slid down his crest-fallen face.
«Oh Kami, how could he say all those things? Did I really mean nothing to him?» Kagome questioned herself, suddenly becoming frightened. Before taking off and running towards the well.
Abruptly tons of flashbacks started to flicker through Kagome's head of all the times she had spent together with him.
•º•º• Flash Back •º•º•
(Just to let you guys know, everything in italics is what happened in the past. The regular type font is what is happening in the present day; what Kagome's reactions are to these memories she is suddenly remembering. )
"Feh! I'll carry you..." Inuyasha mumbled while slightly blushing.
"Thank you."
"It's no big deal," Inuyasha impassively replied.
x Fastforward x
"Kagome look out!" Yelled Inuyasha.
x Rewind x
"Kagome promise.... promise.... promise...."
That same scene kept repeating over and over again in Kagome's mind and soon started to get all jumbled. Replaying the exact scene again and again, until Kagome violently shook her head to try and clear out the foggy areas that she wanted to remember.
".... Promise me that you'll stay here where I can protect you..." Kagome then strained to hear the last of his words... the words that she longed to hear again.
".... Forever my, Kagome."
That was when they both promised each other that they would stay en masse in the same time era together... no matter what.
She barely heard it, it was more like a whisper in the wind, a fading memory even though it only occurred less than two weeks ago... right before Kikyo appeared.
x Fastforward x
"Watch out, be careful!" Iuyasha screamed, while leaping in front of Kagome.
"No Inuyasha don't!" Kagome shrieked as Inuyasha lunged in front of her, taking the full capacity of the blast that was meant for her.
x Fastfoward x
"Inuyasha are you okay?" She frightfully asked, afraid of hearing the answer.
"Ha... I should be... asking you Kagome. Are you... alright?" Inuyasha breathlessly asked.
"Yes." Kagome replied while nodding her head.
"Are you sure?" He asked while caressing his hand against her face.
"MmmHmm. Now let me tend to your wounds, and you can just rest now Inuyasha."
"Thanks Kagome, and... I really do love you," Inuyasha mummbled before drifting off into a deep comatose sleep. Leaving Kagome in a fit of emotions that over whelmed her all at once.
That was when another tear slid down Kagome's blank face, while she was still reminiscing about the past.
x Fastforward x
"You mean everything to me Kagome, I'll always protect you."
"Inuyasha thank you..." Kagome sighed happily in Inuyasha's arms. "I wouldn't want it any other way," She finished, but it when un-detected to Inuyasha's ears.
"Then never leave my side."
"I would never want to, Inuyasha, never," Kagome unfalteringly stated.
x Fastfoward x
"Kagome No! I didn't mean to... Kaaagooomeeee!" Drifted off Inuyasha's voice.
Inuyasha started to run after her, until something held him back...
Some more tears came crashing down upon the earth, as Kagome's eyes profusely filled up with more tears.
x Fastfoward x
"Kagome it didn't mean anything. You take things too seriously," Inuyasha yelled.
"No, it was me that didn't mean anything to you, otherwise you would have never snuck off with Kikyo again like that behind my back! After you promised never to do it again when I caught you last time."
"Humph!"
'Ummph!"
They both mumbled while turning their back to each other.
x Fastforward x
"Feh! I don't know what you're talking about..."
x Fastfoward x
"BITCH!!"
That was when Kagome's eyes could no longer hold any more tears, and Kagome truly broke down and cried. Slowly coming back to reality.
•º•º• End of Flash Back •º•º•
"No, no, no!" Kagome grieved, while crumpling up on the cool forest ground.
"It can't be... why, why now," Kagome whispered, begging for any sign of acknowledgment.
"Why!?" Kagome cursed up at the sky not willing to hold back her tears any more, for they all tumbled carelessly down her smooth apricot skin.
"Kami how much I want to hate you Inuyasha, how much I want to will my heart to forget you... but I can't you were my first true love..." Kagome whimpered.
«Just like Kikyo was yours, but I loved you Inuyasha, but you then betrayed me after all the things you have said to me.»
The last single tear that Kagome would shed that night slipped freely down he face. Her now sleeping form still crumpled on the forest ground, with her dark onyx hair tumbling around in the wind; caressing her face.
She laid there slumbering in the dark forest alone, oblivious to the danger all around her.
¤¤¤ Well I was going to end it here, but I haven't updated in a while plus I think you guys deserve a break from the perplexity I created from my previous chapter o()o ... so here you go. Here is a bonus chapter...
"Foolish human. How can they always be so careless? Don't they cherish their short life they have even a tiny morsel?" Sesshomaru pondered while bearing over the sleeping form. "Hmm yes indeed they are probably too stupid to know what is the best for them and others."
"Master Sesshomaru why not just kill the girl? Is she not Inuyasha's wrench?" Jaken inquired.
"Yes Jaken, I do find it very strange that she is out here alone without Inuyasha's scent any where near her. But with her tear streaked face and the lingering scent of salty tears I must deduct that they had another lover's spat," Sesshomaru disgustedly replied. Detested at the though of love between a human and demon, even if he was a hanyou.
"What a truly foolish girl to stay in Inuyasha's prescence. But I fear Inuyasha is the bigger fool for keeping a human girl in his care for such a extent period of time. I fear that he will never stop making a mockery out of the family name. For this girl will inevitably be Inuyasha's downfall," Sesshomaru stated in a convicting, yet humorous tone.
«I surely will never be as stupid as Inuyasha undoubtedly is, and like father was in the last of his prime years.»
"Yes M'Lord! What truth and wisdom you speak beyond your years."
"What are you referring to Jaken?" Sesshomaru questioned while in return for such a trite statement gave him one of his icy stares.
"No—Nothing Sire! I only meant good from it. It was meant to be a praise only worth of someone as great and pow—"
¤Bonk¤ Sesshomaru pelted Jaken across his head with his own stick so he would cease his rambles. With a deep sigh Sesshomaru dropped Jaken's staff and started to gently rub his temples in an elliptical motion.
"Mmm Jaken," Sesshomaru sighed.
"Yes M'Lord?" Jaken replied fearfully, while rubbing his already swollen head.
"Cease your babbling, and shut up for once," He mentioned irritated.
"Why, y-yes of course your ma-majesty! This humble servent d-does not know his place, p-p-please forgive him and his stupidity!" Stuttered Jaken, clearly afraid for his life. After the death glare he incontestably received from his master.
"Jaken I will not ask again," Sesshomaru growled, while lowering his gaze to glare at Jaken as a warning not to take his suggestion lightly.
"Yes this servent understands," Jaken humbly repiled while bowing his head over and over again until he realized that his master was no longer in sight.
"Wa—wait M'Lord! You surely could not have forgotten me!" Jaken bawled.
«Again» Jaken sighed. «Do I really mean that little to him?»
"Never!" Jaken ferociously shook his head. "I have been Sesshomaru's faithful servant all of his years, he would never abandon me now."
"M'Lord, M'Lord!" Squawked Jaken.
"What is it now Jaken?" Sesshomaru questioned boredly, stifling a yawn.
"Uhh Never mind Your Majesty forgive me for intruding."
"Jaken."
"Yes Sire?"
"Go fetch Rin. Now."
"Yes right away M'Lord." Jaken replied with a brief, but deep bow.
So with a scuttling scamper Jaken was off to find Rin. With him mumbling under his breath about how incompetent children are, especially little girls.
Curiousity finally got the best of Sesshomaru again, thus he returned to the spot where the girl laid, and to his horror he did not mind the sight, nor smell of her for that fact.
«Hmm I wonder if Inuyasha would truly miss his wrench terribly if I just decided to kill her right here and now?» Sesshomaru stoically mused. But just by looking at his face one could not tell he was inwardly smirking at the thought of bringing Inuyasha pain. The only cognition was the malicious glint of evil resinating in his rustic bronze eyes.
"Uhhn"
«Well it seems that the human girl is finally waking up. Interesting that is she finally starting to rouse and she has yet to epsy the danger she is currently in. And how pitiful that she would sleep sprawled out like that in such an indecent manner. Hmph! Foolish human indeed... I should just end her misery here.»
"Mmm Where am I...?" Kagome yawned. Oh yes now I remembered," She whispered with a crest-fallen look. Along with a few tears that splattered down on the ground.
"Truly a pitiful sight of someone who mourns over my half-brother and no less a human... that is anguishing over him..." Sesshomaru slightly faltered when Kagome concisely looked up. Just at the sight of her cornflower blue eyes he felt a peculiar sensation come over him.
But with a slight scolding he told himself that he was just imaging things. Though everything around him lit up when she looked up at him with those sorrowful eyes. Tormented by his own thoughts he left Kagome to ponder her own.
He started heading back towards the West to find Jaken and Rin, where he would then give Jaken a severe thrashing for losing the girl again.
"Stupid, arrogant, cocky, self-absorbed demon," Kagome muttered under her breath.
«Why if he didn't just run away like a coward on his cloud I would have given him a piece of my mind. He wouldn't know the first thing about human's and their emotions.» With that Kagome slightly smirked at the sight of her telling Sesshomaru what she really though of him.
"Ha! He would most likely decapitate me before I could sputter out two words. For such a despicable human like me even trying to converse... well lecture him on manners," Kagome laughed.
«At least he has manners unlike Inuyasha... ¤Sigh¤ Now why did I have to go thinking about that again, that is the last thing I need to be thinking about right now. For all it matters, I'm basically dead to Inuyasha anyways.»
"Oh well, I should be getting back home, so mother isn't going to worry herself anymore since I am already three days late. But I also miss Souta and Ji-san too," Kagome smiled to herself thinking about the great times she has had already shared with her family.
With that Kagome jumped through the well into her own time, the fimilar rays of blue light surrounding her. But just before the light enveloped her whole body Kagome turned her head around and whipsered her final good-bye to her friends, her comrades, and her... family whom she had grown to love.
The blue light then encased her whole entire body and brought her back to her time, on the hard ground at the bottom of the well.
Well that is it for Chapter 2!! (ˆ.ˆ) Yay! I'm just warning you now... the next two chapters are going to be kind of sad, but after that there is finally going to be some Sesshomaru and Kagome fluff!!!! Yippy Skippy! LoL...
I appreciate you reading my second chapter to my story and I do hope that you'll Review so I'll be able to see how I am doing so far on my first fanfiction. ˆ.ˆ
Arigato!!
And Ja Matte Ne Minna-Sans!! Until next time! ˆ.ˆ
˜˜˜¤˜˜˜ A.k.i.S.o.r.a
Stacerue: Awww Thanks so much!! I am really glad that you like my story so far! It makes an author feel good about her/himself (which ever gender the author is... LoL, for me its a 'her' Hehe) but it also makes them feel good about their story and that people are actually enjoying reading their story. ˆˆ
Eternal Serena: Well thank you, I am trying to keep this all Sess/Kag fic. but there will be some Inuyasha and Kagome moments, because I believe that if you truly loved someone you wouldn't be able to forget them that easily. Anyways... Hmmm I'm glad someone caught onto my hints that I gave throughout the story... so as far as I can say without giving the "plot" (LoL) away you are correct......
jaded:soul: Arigato for the nice review... besides the "threat" (LoL... Sweatdrop). Well to clear up the fastforwarding... yes there wa a lot of them because so much happened in such a little time. So... I thought it was better expressed going forward, but skipping over parts so the "fastwards" and "rewinds" wouldn't get too confusing. I'm glad you understood it though. I was afraid that people would find that too confusing. u.u But Inuyasha's demeanor will be explained!! I promise! .
AidanKeketIsis: Wow I appreciate your review! I'm gald you think that it's "very nicely written" because typically my English teachers don't like my writing style... oh well. u.u;; I'm sorry that Inuyasha's eyes changing colors is kind of confusing for you... all of this well be explained later on (Once I am able to update!! . I do have up to chapter 5 written though... although they are still underconstruction).
