Chapter Five
~Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"~
Inuyasha's warm, firm hands cupped Kagome's, holding them together as he ran. Kagome, out of breath, begged Inuyasha for a rest, stopping every few seconds in between a word for breath. In the shade of an oak tree high above them, they sat, taking in deep breaths of the cool, breezy air. Inuyasha's silver hair blew in the wind and his amber eyes reflected the moons light. His arm wrapped around Kagome's cold shoulders, pulling her closer. Her fingers numb from the bitter after-storm cold she made a fist and placed it between her body and Inuyasha's. Inuyasha rose to his feet and grabbed his things.
"What are you doing?" Kagome asked watching him pull out blankets and pillows, trying to make her hands warm again.
"I thought we'd rest here for the night," he replied calmly laying out layers and layers of thick blankets.
Kagome felt no need to keep her hands warm and jumped up. "Are you crazy? What if Kouga or someone comes along? We might not wake up tomorrow?" she yelled at him.
He shook his head. "Kagome do you know how far you've made it into the woods? No one has ever attempted to even come this far. I'm familiar with because my mother used to take me here."
"Why don't people come this far?" Kagome asked walking towards Inuyasha and help straighten out the blankets.
"No one really knows the whole story. All I've heard was that when this guy came in here to rest and someone around the area heard him scream then when they came he was lying on the ground dead. It's just some myth though don't believe what those people say," he said looking at the worried look on Kagome's pale face. "Kagome calm down. Don't believe the stories. My bother used to tell me that story all the time just to freak me out and it always did. The people around here are stupid they'll believe anything."
"Oh thanks Inuyasha," she said sarcastically laughing a little.
He gave here a 'You Know What I Mean' look. Kagome spread herseelf out on the large quilts. Inuyasha doing the same. Curling herself to his form, Kagome fell off into an instant slumber, Inuyasha's arm around her waist. The trees now shading the light kept their secret sleep bound in the leaves.
*~*~*~*~*~*~* Okay if or when you review this don't ask what bound in the leaves means because I honestly can't tell you. At the moment it just sounded cool. But anyway please review and tell me what you think. And sorry these chapters have been so short that won't last too long ^-^
