I don't own Inu Yasha.
Depth of a Cherry Blossom
Now's my chance. I have to get out of here for a little while.'
Kagome ran towards the pathway leading away from the wolf pack. She needed some time to think and now that Koga was away on a hunt the opportunity to run away was overwhelming. It had been a week since she had started staying with the demons. Not very long, yet too long.
"Inu Yasha, I miss you more than anything."
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Inu Yasha paced nervously around the room. It had finally hit him that he couldn't do anything without Kagome there. Sango and Miroku glared at him. They knew that he was just being cruel and bringing himself down with Kagome.
"Inu Yasha, go get her. First of all, your tension is getting on Sango's and my nerves. Secondly, we miss Kagome and so do you. And thirdly, we can't find any shards without her and we are bored with your arrogance. Can't you just forgive her already?"
"Leave me alone. We don't need her. I am just trying to think of where we should go. Besides, she's happy enough with Koga."
Sango had an idea. She suddenly piped up.
"You know, Inu Yasha, your right. She probably is happy, and so is Koga."
"I am?"
"Yeah. I bet that they're having a great time hunting down the rest of the jewel shards right now."
Sango grinned at Miroku while Inu Yasha's back was turned away from them. The monk nodded in approval. Inu Yasha's clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He growled and the two humans knew that he was overcome with jealousy.
"I'll be back... with the girl."

A tiny cherry blossom rested on the delicate nose. It balanced for a few minutes, tipped, and fell into her open palm. She stared at it curiously. It looked so simple; just a few pink petals. As she scrutinized it, though, she saw that there was gold and orange and light burgundy as well as pink. Each petal was unique, the pollen within was so fine and powdery, and the blossom was silky and strong, though sheer.
Inu Yasha.'
She heard the trees suddenly shifting and her mind told her to run before Koga found her.
But he can smell me. I guess I have to go back now.'
As she turned to leave she heard a familiar, jeering voice. The hanyou dropped in front of her. Obviously he had been watching her from the tree branches.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"What are you doing here?"
"I came to apologize. I was wondering if you would come back with me. We all miss you so much. And I re-"
Tender arms wrapped around his waist interrupted him.
"YES! Oh thank you! I thought you were never coming back for me. Let's go. I can get my stuff right now while Koga's on a hunt." She began to lead him to the cave that she had been held captive in.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
"Kagome!"
Miroku and Sango smothered the miko with their sudden embraces. Inu Yasha rolled his eyes, but smiled. His serenity was returning now that those bright eyes had returned to him. She glanced at Inu Yasha, and her heart overflowed with joy.
Maybe he does love me after all, or maybe not. But I don't really care because we are together again.'
Inside she worried about Koga, but it couldn't be helped. She couldn't pretend to love him. And she knew that if he really loved her, he would understand. She looked over at Inu Yasha again as he stood by the fire thinking. Shippo nuzzled Kagome and she rocked him in her arms.
"Shippo, I was worried about you the most. Inu Yasha better not have hit you too much."
"Oh, Kagome, we're just so happy that you're back. Please don't go with Koga again."
"Don't worry, Shippo. I will never, ever do that again."
