Okay, that's all I have so far, now quick recap on past events:
Inuyasha gets blind, Kagome blames herself, and Inuyasha gets into a hurtful argument with her. Good enough summarization? Hope so, anyway, continue on with the 3rd chapter.
I started to get closer to her. The closer I was the more frighten I became. I mean I had done this to her, and always her. I don't ever want to, but I just don't know. She just, she scares me-not like a demon could ever compare to. She scares me because what if she decides to leave me? To be done with this. To be done...with me?
"Stop." A voice was soft and so depressed. I paid no heed to it as I still made my way towards her. "Inuyasha, please, stop." I had to stop. The pleading in her voice was evident.
"Kagome-" I started to reach out for her, but I heard rustling and I heard her try to stop her crying.
"Inuyasha, you made it clear. I'm nothing to you, never was and never will be. I mean you don't care for me, I'm just a part of your responsibilities, so I'm making it much better for you. Inuyasha, I'm going to go-leave here-for you to stop getting into fights and getting injured. I'm sorry Inuyasha. Really I am." She ran past me and I heard her every footstep echo through the forest.
"Kagome, please don't leave." I mumbled and slumped on the ground. I could no longer feel Kagome in this era. She's really gone. I made her run away from me. "Kagome." I closed my lids and let my tear fall. This is the first time I ever remembered crying for anyone. I didn't even cry when my mom died. I don't know how long I sat there, but I knew I had worried the others. Because why else would they come and get me?
"Inuyasha? It's dinner time, let's go back and get some food." Miroku's voice tried to persuade me.
I still don't know why he's wasting his time. I mean, didn't he know? Nothing can be hidden from him. He probably saw the whole thing.
"Miroku's right, Inuyasha. Let's go eat." Sango said touching my arm lightly.
I wanted to just slash away at myself. Here I am, a pathetic fool, who first chased away the only girl who really cared for him and now he's worrying his only and closest friends?
"You guys go. I'm not hungry." I replied getting up and just started as fast as I could to run away. I knew not where I was going, just away. Away from that place away from the memory away from the scent of her.
"Inuyasha..." I heard distant calling, but it was no use. Even I couldn't stop myself from being- no- from being drifted further away. My mind wasn't doing or being any part of it, my heart made my legs move, faster and faster it went, my breath being caught in my throat. I didn't even comprehend the consequences that might become. Finally I tired so I stopped. I leaned against a tree and tried to breathe, tried to think, tried to forget. I opened my eyes again and saw that my sight seemed to be getting worse. It was total darkness. No more gray was visible, just black. It was night but the light of the day never affected my eyes. Actually my eyesight seemed best at night when Kagome was around. Maybe- no that's stupid. Kagome being around or not would not have any effect on me. No matter how much I told myself it didn't I knew better. It affected me far more than I can understand.
______________Hours and hours later_____________
I made my way back to the hut rather easily. All I had to do was sniff out either the old hag, which in generally is a bad old crusty smell to go with, or Sango, she uses this smelly thing that Kagome gave her and well, its a very soothing and unusual smell to me. So I followed hers rather than the hag's smell. I was nearing, but quietly, because I didn't want to draw attention from the group. But instead of returning back I heard them talking.
"Ye, can ye tell it to me again. What happened?" Kaede's voice was heard clearly. I leaned against the wall to hear a little better and to not be caught.
"Lady Kaede, Inuyasha must've have done something, which I know not of, that made Lady Kagome sad. No it wasn't sad it was depressed." Miroku replied to her. Sango was probably busy cooking food for Shippo and Kirara.
"So thee must assume Kagome went home?" Kaede said after a short pause. The whole time I didn't breathe much less move.
"Yes. She said she'll be gone forever..." Miroku and Sango said sadly. And the first time I heard, since I came back, Shippo crying.
"Shippo, please stop, we all miss her...we all do." Sango said joining in tears, because my nose was assaulted with twice the salt I smelt before. I heard some rustling and made quite a bit of a racket trying to see if there was trouble.
"Inuyasha?" Miroku's voice was now outside of the hut. I turned to it and then ran far away. Because I didn't know it then, but I was crying.
"Inuyasha come back here!!!!" Miroku was chasing after me, because his voice was so near.
"Miroku, get back there." I ordered but he paid no heed.
I kept gaining speed but he kept right on me. He finally caught up and tackled me to the ground, pinning me under him. I was squirming to get out.
"Inuyasha listen!" He barked at me. I stopped immediately. "Kagome is crying for you and here you are crying for her, so why won't you just go get her?" I tried to look him in the face to see it, but what good will it do? Prove I was as useless as I am now? I looked away. He forced me to look- or face in his direction again. "WHY?" He demanded.
"Because what would she want a hanyou for? A blind hanyou no less." I explained and I felt Miroku lessen his hold, probably pity for me.
"Inuyasha, you may not know this but Kagome likes you." He began, I was forced to listen because where could I go if I couldn't see? "She liked you since I first met you guys together. She trusts you fully, she respects your wishes your dreams and hopes. She likes you the way you are, because of who you are not of what you are."
"But if she liked me then-" I was cut off.
"She liked you then with or without your sight and now she will still like you." Miroku decided now was the time to get his heavy self off me. But I didn't move. "Go get her, say you're sorry, say that you, too, love her." He left as his footsteps faded away. Then I realized something.
"Hey you pervert! How am I supposed to find the well if I'm blind????!" I yelled after him but it was no use. he left me there for good. So I started my journey wherever it took me. I used my heart and some of my nose to find the well. It took me hours since I kept bumping into things and tripping.
"Inuyasha?" I heard a squeaky voice as I was about to jump into the well.
"Huh?" I turned around and sniffed the air.
"Yes, it's me-Shippo." He slowly made his way to me and sat on my shoulder. "Are you going to get Kagome back?" He asked. I wanted to see if he was still depressed because his voice sounded depressed.
"I'll try." I replied and took him off my shoulder. "Just stay here and wait for me, and don't tell anyone I'm being nice to you-got that kid?" He giggled a bit and scurried off. I turned back around and placed my hands on the edge and took a deep breath and jumped into the darkness...
A/n: Sorry to end it here I just wanted to give you all a gift for Thanksgiving so I'm going to post this up and really try to get an update, but I lack the time and encouragement. So if you could, review, and then I could update the sooner. Because I left a cliffie I know, so pleaze? It'll be really nice of you.
