Chapter 2: The starting of pain
Kagome dropped to her knees, fiery agony burning in her bloodied wrists. "Baka!" she whimpered. She started to call a warding up but the loss of blood made her faint. Her last conscious thoughts were a muddled mix of Inuyasha and his stupidity. Then, with a thunk her head hit the ground and her face creased into a small frown.
Inuyasha was just about to leap in after her when a smell of burial soil and decayed death hit the air. He whirled to face Kikyo who was calmly walking towards him, a sad smile playing on her face. "Inuyasha? I saw what just happened and I would like to speak to Kagome myself. I don't think you should go. If you give me just a moment, I will talk to her..."
Inuyasha shook his head, "No, I need to know what is wrong! I will go! Stay here Kikyo." He made as if to jump into the well but Kikyo positioned herself in front of him. "Baka! Don't you get it? She loves you! She probably did it because of you! She doesn't want to see you! Not when she's like this, stay here!"
She blocked him from entering and lowered herself carefully into the well, only to be grabbed by the waist and lifted up. Inuyasha jumped down and found himself in Kagome's time. He sniffed the air curiously and all he could smell was Kagome's blood. With growing anxiety and anger he saw her collapsed body and turned her over.
Kagome's small, pale face stared back at him with sightless eyes. He knew of only one way to heal her gashing wrists, he preferred this mean to her 'modern day medicine'. Leaning a face across her arm he licked the blood away and slathered his saliva on the wound.
Then Kagome stirred because she felt something warm, moist and soft touch her arm. With a hiss of pain she woke blearily and whimpered. A familiar shape loomed in front of her; with a groan she pushed it away and tried to climb out of the well. Inuyasha firmly grabbed her and jumped out of the well holding her in his arms.
Kagome struggled and Inuyasha gently set her down, quickly licking the other arm's blood away. Kagome gasped and pulled away. "Kagome, you have some explaining to do. I suggest you start now." She glanced down at her arms and watched as her arms slowly began to heal. Inuyasha glanced down too and said sadly, "If I were full-youkai I would have healed the second my saliva touched it since it's so shallow; sorry about that Kagome..."
Kagome shuddered and fell to her bruised knees, "Why do you keep coming back? Don't you get it? I hate you! I never want to see you again! Go away!" She started to cry silently, letting those false, harsh words come out of her mouth with a vicious speed. Inuyasha felt a jolt go through his body and he dropped down to her.
Encircling her shaking body with his own quivering arms he held her and murmured, "You don't mean that, do you?" He felt betrayed but knew she didn't mean it, could she? She let him hold her for a moment, letting her blissful fantasy play and re-play in her mind before remembering that it couldn't be. She shoved him hard and whispered with dead, dull eyes, "I hate you. Don't touch me." The she left.
Inuyasha felt his breath stick in his chest cruelly before his starved lungs begged for air. He sank fully to his knees and ground his clenched fists into the ground with stunning ferocity. "Oh Kagome, why? Why did you have to say that?" He crawled back to the well and let himself drop in.
Kagome meanwhile was crying her eyes out and instead of heading for the house, distractedly let her feet lead her. It was hours later, her sore feet, aching legs and crazed mind came to a halt. She had no idea where she was. She did not know who she was and she did not recognize the lovely little shrine that lay before her.
To be continued...
Alright, so she's lost her memory from the anguish she's suffering from. Next chappie I really will explain what was the matter. It'll be like her journal or something, okies? Sorry about leaving you there, but I think I'm going to add Kouga in for chapter 4, after her journal. Ciao.
