Well, I think that just about sums that up! ^_^ Now, on with the story!
~*~*~*~*~*~
"I-I they um..." Kagome stuttered along, not quite sure what else to say in response to the hanyou's angry words.
"How does this demon know your name?" asked Sango fiercely as she reached for the knife. "Is this demon stalking you?"
"No! It's not like--," started Kagome.
"I asked you why you brought these stinking humans! You had better answer me!" yelled Inuyasha as he got into a crouched position, preparing to spring at the monk or the girl.
"I brought them—,"
"Don't you dare threaten Kagome!" hissed Miroku, also preparing to attack.
"I'll do whatever the hell I want to, monk!" yelled Inuyasha. He jumped in the air, lifting his claws to attack the monk, who was holding his staff in front of him for protection
Kagome stared wide-eyed at the scene as it...went in slow motion? She felt the jewel burn her chest, and looked down to see that the small sphere was now glowing intensely, almost blinding. Everything around her was moving extremely slow. She watched as Inuyasha, who was currently in the air, inched toward Miroku in a sluggish speed. Sango was slowly lifting her blade, preparing to stab the hanyou if he got within range. ' The jewel must have done this! Did it slow down time, or just make me extremely fast?'
Kagome shook her head, ridding herself of her thoughts and making her raven locks fly around her face. She needed to stop this fight...one way or another. Making up her mind on how she was going to stop the fight, she stepped in the middle of Inuyasha and Miroku and produced a large barrier around herself. It swirled and cackled around her, ready to attack anything that dare enter its territory.
Time suddenly sped up, and everything happened in a blur of lightning speed. Inuyasha collided into the large, blue bubble surrounding Kagome, and was knocked backward into a tree. Miroku and Sango, who were nearly blinded by the intense barrier surrounding the miko, stumbled backwards, very confused by the turn of events.
Seeing that the fight was subdued, Kagome took down her barrier. Her eyes, which had turned blue, started to turn back to their original color. She turned toward the disgruntled hanyou who was trying to stand back up. "Sorry Inuyasha, but I had to do it. You could have really hurt someone!"
Inuyasha shot Kagome a glare so cold it could have frozen boiling water. Without another word, or glance in her direction, he jumped in a tree, retrieved what seemed like a ball of fluff, and ran into the forest at top speed.
"Inuyasha! Wait!" Kagome yelled at his retreating back. When he didn't turn back, she let out an exhausted sigh and turned back to her friends.
"K-Kagome? How do you know that demon?" asked Sango. She had seen the exchange between the hanyou and her friend, and she didn't know what to make of it. How could innocent Kagome be friends with a demon?
Miroku just stood there, staring at his old friend with a level expression. He may have looked calm on the outside, but he was really frightened for her. By what he had seen, it was obvious that Kagome had some type of relationship with the hanyou. He knew that any relationship between a human and demon was punishable by law.
Scratching the back of her head nervously, Kagome tried to think of a way to explain her and Inuyasha. "Well...I met him a while back when we were in the woods for protection from the demon attack. I freed him from one of those demon traps. After that I just met him in the woods from time to time when I got done with my training. He's a really nice guy when you get to know him!"
All Sango could do was stare at her friend in absolute shock, while Miroku stood there, staring into Kagome's eyes, looking for any type of lie she could be telling them.
Once satisfied that Kagome was being truthful, he swiped his hair out of his face and rubbed his eyes. This wasn't good. "Kagome...you can't go around befriending demons. There are laws prohibiting it. If you got caught...you would be in a lot of trouble. You need to end your relationship with him as soon as possible"
"He's not a full demon though! He's only half, so it shouldn't matter!" Kagome defended herself, wringing her hands nervously at the intensely serious look on Miroku's face.
"It doesn't matter," said Sango, who had managed to find her voice. "It's still extremely dangerous! I agree with Miroku, you need to end it Kagome."
Kagome stared at her two best friends in absolute horror. "N-no! I am not going to stop seeing him. I-I'm all he has. He doesn't have any other friends or family that I know of. I can't abandon him!"
"Let's just go home and we can talk about it there," offered Miroku, knowing that Kagome was too stubborn to back down on the subject.
"I have to go find Inuyasha and apologize. He seemed really mad when he left...and I don't really blame him."
"No," said Miroku simply, standing in front of her to block her way.
"Move!" yelled Kagome angrily as she tried to push the monk out of her way.
"No," repeated Miroku, standing his ground in front of her.
Kagome glared icily at him. "If you don't move I'll make you move!" she threatened. Silver strands of power started surrounding her, preparing for the barrier she was going to produce. Her pride wasn't about to let her back down to Miroku. She was going to get to Inuyasha one way or another.
Seeing that she wasn't about to back down, Miroku internally sighed at what he was going to do if she didn't give in. "Kagome, stop this now! I won't let you go to that demon! He's dangerous!" he demanded in a booming voice that he had never used with her before.
"You guys!" Sango yelled, trying to stop the fight that was threatening to start between the two.
Noticing that Miroku has turned at the sound of Sango's pleading voice, Kagome managed to get around Miroku. She started running at top speed, producing a barrier around herself in the process. She had gotten a good distance away, so she looked back, making sure that she wasn't being followed. She wasn't expecting a large body to suddenly slam into her.
Miroku had managed to use his staff and his spiritual powers to break through her barrier and pin her to the ground. He had his staff pinned against her chest, preventing her from making any further moves to free herself from his grasp. "I'm sorry that I have to do this to you Kag."
Kagome felt a large jolt of power go through her, making her back arch in protest. All of her limbs suddenly felt as thought they were too heavy to lift. She watched helplessly as Miroku gathered her up in his arms. Sango, who was looking at her with a piteous expression, didn't stop him. Kagome gave her a betrayed look. Why wasn't Sango helping her? Black spots formed in her vision, and she slipped out of consciousness.
~*~*~*~
Kagome threw her pillow into the off white wall to vent off some frustration. She was beyond angry with both of her so-called 'friends'. One minute she had been in the woods, ready to go find Inuyasha, the next she was at her house and in her bed. How dare Miroku do something to her against her will! To top it off, he was coming by her bedroom door every couple of minutes. She knew that he was making sure that she didn't run off anytime soon.
She frowned at the door as she heard Miroku's light footsteps pass once again. She clenched and unclenched her fists, her intense gaze on the door just daring him do come in. If he did, she would be on him so quick he wouldn't have any time to retaliate. (not in a bad way guys! ^_^ Perverts...) The footsteps paused for a second, then resumed going down the hallway.
Kagome turned her head from the door to the mirror that hung over her bed's headboard. She noticed a tiny glint of blue flash across it, so she moved closer to the mirror to inspect what had caused it. She looked at her reflection, and found that her eyes had small dots of silvery-blue specked across them. Kagome blinked rapidly, making sure that she was seeing right. She finally decided that her eyes weren't deceiving her, and plopped back down on her bed. What had made her eyes change color like that? Was it the jewel? Kikyo had told her that it made her eyes change color during training, but they had always changed back to their original color.
Kagome soon heard someone passing by her room. She figured that it was Miroku coming to make sure that she wasn't planning on leaving Temporarily forgetting about her eyes she grabbing the pillow once again she shoved it in her face to smother the sudden scream that erupted inside of her. Oh yeah, she was mad. She continued to vent her anger on her pillow until she heard a slight, timid knock on her door.
Not sure whether she wanted to let the person in, Kagome just sat there silently, waiting for the person to introduce himself or herself.
"K-Kagome? It's me, Sango. Please let me in."
Kagome sent the door a glare, and totally ignored her. She didn't want to talk to her or Miroku right now.
"Please let me in!" said Sango pleadingly. She was truly sorry for what had happened earlier and not helping Kagome out...but she had good reason to do what she did. She only wanted to do what was best for Kagome. She knew that her friend could get into some serious trouble if she got caught with a demon, even if the demon is only half. She wasn't going to stand by and let that happen, even if it did cost her a friendship.
Getting no response, Sango leaned her head against the solid oak door, making her long jet black hair fall over her shoulders and into her face. Figuring that Kagome wasn't going to let her in, she gave up and decided to talk through the door. "Kagome...I-I'm really sorry, okay? I know that it wasn't right of me and Miroku to do what we did, but we didn't want you to get hurt. Plus, that hanyou was unstable. He could've hurt you, or worse."
Kagome listened to Sango's little speech, her anger almost doubling when Sango mentioned that Inuyasha was unstable. Her face got red, and her blood was boiling. She didn't know when she had become so defensive over Inuyasha, but at this point she didn't really care. She was to frustrated to think strait.
"Leave me alone," she growled, the words dripping with venom.
Startled and confused by Kagome's response, Sango backed away from the door. She had expected her to at least be a little less angry after the apology, but she had obviously said something wrong. She was full of concern for her obviously distressed friend, but she knew that Kagome needed some time to cool down. If she kept bothering her it would probably make the situation worse, so Sango pulled her head away from the door and padded silently down the hall.
Flopping herself down on the bed, Kagome closed her eyes. 'I don't care what they say. They don't know Inuyasha. He's only dangerous if he's provoked, which they would learn if they gave him a chance! I have to get to him. If I don't go now, I'll probably never be able to get to him with Miroku trailing me.'
Kagome sat up strait on her bed, having made up her mind. She silently crawled to her window and pushed it up. she took in a deep breath. It was a long jump from her window to the ground, but she wouldn't back down from her decision. dropping her legs over the ledge she pushed herself off.
Landing on her feet with an ungraceful 'oomph', Kagome looked back to make sure that no one had heard her. Apparently no one had, so she continued on.
Tonight was a new moon, so there was no light left for her to see where she was going, but she wasn't going to risk producing fire. Someone was bound to see her if she did. So she trudged slowly towards the forest, trying to avoid tripping on some small rocks and plants that were in her way.
When she had finally made it to the creek, she looked around. Inuyasha was no where in sight. Kagome sighed and plopped herself on a nearby rock. "Great. I wasted that whole trip on nothing. Miroku's probably going to kill me when he finds out," she muttered to herself.
"Hmph."
Kagome whirled around, trying to find the owner of the voice. "Inuyasha?"
She heard a rustling of leaves, and then saw Inuyasha jumping out of a tree. There was something different about him...
He walked closer, and even with the poor lighting she could tell what was missing. "What happened to your hair!?"
Inuyasha didn't reply, he just sat down next to her and stared into her eyes.
Noticing that his eyes and ears had changed also, something in her mind clicked. "Oh! That's right. You're a hanyou, so you change into a human once a month. I remember reading something about that..."
When he didn't respond, Kagome sighed. "I'm sorry about bringing them here, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha blinked his dark violet orbs. "Why are you sorry? I thought that I was the one that had to apologize."
Kagome stared at him in confusion. "I thought that you were mad at me. You seemed pretty mad earlier..."
"I'm just not used to being around so many people, especially humans. It all caught me off guard. You don't need to be sorry about anything."
Smiling at the closest thing to an apology that she had ever heard Inuyasha say, she scooted closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder. "Thanks."
She felt Inuyasha's head rest against her own. Her eyes widened, and her heart started beating rapidly against her chest. 'He's never acted so nice. It's probably because he's human and it's harder to keep his emotions in check.' She leaned in closer to him, taking advantage of the situation, which allowed his silky black locks to fall into her face, tickling her nose.
Inuyasha smiled when he felt her lean closer to him. He now realized how much he had begun to care for her. He had only known her for a short while, but he knew that he would give his life for her.
"Thank you, Kagome."
