Chapter 4
A Need For Sight
By: Silver Teardrops
Okay. Before you read I have to say this, because you don't want to be confused and I don't want to be either. I'm going to reply to the reviewers from the previous chapter only. So try to review every chapter.
Kay the story so far...Inuyasha jumped into the well. That's basically it.
I had taken the jump, the one that will take me to my- to the woman I love. I had arrived on the other side, but everything looked the same, since the darkness my eyes emitted never changed. I took a leap out of the well and steadied myself on the edge of it. I didn't want to seem too sudden, walking in and demanding her to come back, it might even be impossible to get near the house. She was crying when she left, so probably her family won't even let me near her, especially Souta. He's protective of his sister now.
"Okay, you can do this. Just stay in the tree by the window and wait for the right time to make her listen to what you have to say. That's it, plain and simple." I convinced myself, but I still had doubt and went slowly and cautiously to the tree branch by Kagome's window. There I waited for her to exit the bathroom. I had known because I had heard the water trickling down inside.
"This is going to be a long time." I muttered slightly. But as soon as I finished she came out. I could smell the sweet scent of hers. She felt the same, well at least right now she does. her aura didn't give off anything.
"Kagome, I have a question on my homework can you help me?" Souta came in and showed her the so-called 'homework' they were both always doing.
"Sure, come here let me show you how." She giggled. That was what scared me. She laughed...and it was a real one. Maybe she was over me now, she didn't think of me anymore. She doesn't need me...She forgot me. Their conversations went on and they joked around and eventually went downstairs to eat supper. I leaned back on the tree and looked at nothing in particular.
I eventually went to sleep since Kagome was in her bed resting for her school tomorrow. I heard her get in it. My dreams turned into nightmares. But I slept through it all. I did have nightmares since I lost my parents. It wasn't a new thing, but this one was focused on Kagome...
Rustling around the room...
Crying was heard...
Whispers of longing, of regret, of anguish...
"Inuyasha...."
I woke up the next morning, almost forgetting that I was still in the modern era that I almost fell out of the tree. The bell, which rang very loud, was what had disturbed me from my rest. I opened my eyes and rubbed them to the morning sun and looked into Kagome's room, which was pointless, but it was a habit I couldn't stop doing. I like to think that I still had my sight. maybe that would give me at least bit advantage of getting her back with me. She was still in her room, I heard her soft mutterings about schoolwork and teachers. I heard more rustling and a door shutting. she left, I guess ready to start her normal life now. I had given up...she had shown me she didn't need me, much less remembered me. I leaped from the branch to the ground, sulkily walking to the well house. Surprisingly, I knew the place so well that I didn't bump into anything. I stopped when I heard footsteps behind me. I quickly hid behind a statue I remembered was there and waited for the person to come. It was her. She went inside the well house and I went closer to hear her. I could sense her walking towards the well.
"Sango...Shippo...Miroku...Kaede...and Kirara. Bye see ya whenever. I'm finally normal." She laughed. Too real to be considered a mask. A dark silence passed between that and her next sentence. "And Inuyasha...I have a life now...I have someone who'll love me. I don't need you." She spat and ran out, running away from the shrine. I slumped down against the wall. She didn't need me...she said so herself. All my hopes and dreams shattered, even if I had any left, when she said those words. She really didn't need us, or even want us to be involved in her life. I made my way to the well and jumped into it, regretting ever coming to hear her harsh words that shattered everything that I am, everything I believed in, everything that I loved.
"How could I be so stupid. Trying to convince myself that. It's hard to, because it's all lies..."
"Inuyasha! Kag- Wait, where's Kagome?" Sango, Miroku, Shippo yelled at me as I came out of the well. My head hung low and I let my bangs cover my eyes.
"Inuyasha?" They questioned me together.
"She's still in her own time. She doesn't need us, she doesn't want me. Oh yeah and she said good bye to you guys." I said in a monotone voice I never knew I had. I had always burst even if I was sad, never was I clam and low.
"What? It can't be true." Sango said not believing me.
"Yes, Sango's right so go back there and talk to her again. Make her listen to you." Miroku agreed and whispered something to Sango that I was too depressed to even hear. Shippo heard it though as he snickered at me. All three of them.
"Inuyasha! We won't let you come back until you have Kagome with you!" They screamed pushing me with their force down the well. I fell on my back as I touched the ground of the other side.
"Stupid friends." I muttered and got up. They'll keep pushing me back down, so what's the use of a battered back? So I decided to wander around the place where Kagome lived. I didn't know this but I was eventually following her sweet scent to find her at a nearby hangout with other people. They all had guys hanging on them, even Kagome. I could smell the scent of guys on girls and it was starting to disgust me. I admit, I got jealous, only of the guy mixed with Kagome's scent. He got to hold her without her moving away form his touch. I hid behind some things. I didn't know what they were called, but they were large enough to keep me from being seen. at least I hoped so.
"Hey Kagome! So finally you decided that Hojo was the one for you huh?" A girl's voice was talking to Kagome. Kagome agreed talking to Hojo.
"Hojo has always waited for me. I respect that." She said and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. I heard the smack of lips on skin.
I wanted to badly to be in his place to wrap my arms around her and keep her for myself. I had sensed they were leaving and followed them as best as I could. It was dangerous going around blind. I kept bumping into things. they weren't necessarily human because I knew for certain that no human would be in the air where I leaped to follow her. It was hard as a rock and it hurt like hell to get smacked by one. Enough of that, I finally settled in a place where it was a safe distance to watch, I mean, sense her.
"Hojo? Is this? It's so beautiful." Kagome's voice was clearly heard through all the racket the other humans made.
"It's made especially for you. A ring to show that I will wait for you, no matter how long." Hojo said. I wanted to slap him. okay that was too nice. I wanted to kill him. I felt Kagome's aura go up and down. Was she that interested in this guy?
"Hojo, it's pretty. I don't think I deserve this though. You keep it. As long as you're here, it'll be just as good." Kagome handed back the item as I heard Hojo's sharp intake.
"But-" I felt Kagome's body get closer to Hojo. They were hugging probably. Because I would have lost it if they had been kissing.
"But nothing. Return it. It deserves a better, honest person." She whispered. My ears caught the tremble in her voice. It sounded as if she was about to cry. I stood up more in anticipation.
"But you are a honest good person." Hojo responded to her statement.
"No, Hojo I have to tell you something."
"What? Are you sick with something? Is it bad?" He asked. I leaned closer, not caring if humans thought I looked weird.
"No it's nothing to do with illnesses. But it's bad. I've been lying to you."
"What do you mean Kagome?"
"I don't really like you. I'm sorry. I thought it was the best if I tried to like you because you've done so much for me."
"But-"
"No, I'm sorry I can't continue this lie. I love another. I'm sorry, Hojo. Really I am." She stood up and ran away her footsteps echoing on the pavement. I immediately took after her. I think Hojo saw a flash of red but it matters not.
"I'm so Sorry..."
I found her kneeling at the well. I saw her silhouette. It was a bit darker than the rest of the surroundings, that is, at the moment. I neared her.
"Kagome?" She whipped around because her bracelets on her arms were jingling and her tears had splashed near me.
"Inuyasha?"
"Yeah, I didn't mean what I said. Please forgive me. I didn't think. I'm an idiot and jerk to have said that to you." I said in a hurry so that she couldn't stop me. I waited for her rejection but it never came instead I found a bundle of the woman I love in my chest crying. I held her in an embrace.
"Inuyasha I have to tell you something and it's serious..."
A/N: hahah SorrY I left U a Cliffie! HehHE I feel So ProUd! Anyways I hope this chapter was good. I had a sudden urge to start on the chapter and somehow my fingers worked up a long chapter in just half an hour. So please review it will encourage me to update and whatnots.
OKay I know you might be confused in this chapter, but its simple really. the little sentences, or paragraphs that are spaced very far apart from the rest of them are ones that Inuyasha he himself did not hear or say or do. Its of another person, but you probably know who, if you do don't tell no one keep it to yourself. If you don't you have to wait and find out. oh yah the part in the chapter where he said that he ran into things that were not human, can you guess them? Its probably easy it has a lot of answers that can be right so guess in your review! You might just win a prize that follows after this sentence, or after a few, but it's after this.
I think I will have replies to comment from readers located after the chapter because it was hard doing it before it might distract you form the actually reading. So I hope you review I appreciate it if you do. It'll make my day. I might even give a gift, but I don't know what exactly. A fic with the reviewer starring in it with their fav. anime character? You tink that's good? Good. I will do that if you want to be in one review and tell me and I'll get it posted soon and I'll try to contact you to tell you, or you could just browse my page to find it. Kay see you next chapter. Here are the replies...
Misstress Kitsune: Oh Mi Gosh! You are too nice! That is enough encouragement for a whole month! Heeheheh thanks it means a lot to me that you wish me luck on my stories! Oh and how was ur thanksgiving? Mines was good, family all together.
