Chapter Two:
Inuyasha stopped walking, his face full of anger and pain. "If I had only gotten there in time, maybe they would still be here." A tear slipped from his eye.
"No...NO! I refuse to believe they are dead!" Inuyasha wiped the tear from his face. His expression no longer baring guilt, anger and pain, but rather surpass.
"Who said they were dead?" He gently let Kagome out of his arms. Flicking a tear from her face he began to speak. "Their not dead. I just said they weren't here."
Kagome blinked the rest of her tears away. "Then were did they go?" Inuyasha leaned against a tree and Kagome sat on a nearby rock. "How long?"
"Hm?" He became fascinated with a little ant trying to find a way around his foot.
"How long, Inuyasha? How long have I been asleep?" Kagome kneeled down in front of him. Lifting his gaze to hers.
"A year." That thought struck her hard. She thought it had only been about a day or a week at most.
"Inuyasha? What happened?" Inuyasha gained his composure and picked up Kagome again. "You didn't answer me."
"I didn't intend to. Look, Kagome, I'm not going to lie to you. The past year has not been the best. I do think though, with you being back things will get better." Kagome nodded. It must have been hard on Inuyasha. Sure his appearance hasn't changed, he looks healthy, but something about him is different.
"Inuyasha? Are you ok? You dont seem yourself." He looked down at her with his soul piercing golden eyes.
"There is so much you just dont know yet. I will tell you what you want to know once we get home." His eyes glassed over thinking of all the dreaded memories. How was he going to explain to her what happened between him and Miroku? Or the fact that Kaede is gone?
~castle~
"After this I think I need to go home. I'm sure my mother is worried about me. Being gone for a year and all." Kagome sipped some more of her orange juice. 'Great! More bad news.' Inuyasha rolled his eyes, accidentally grabbing Kagome's attention. "What? Is it something I said?"
"Actually, yea." Inuyasha went behind Kagome's chair swiftly pulling it out from the table. Curious she stood up. She was about ready to say something when two arms wrapped around her. "Kagome, there was a fire in Inuyasha's forest. You can't go home anymore."
Her body shook, 'What? I cant go home? This must be a joke. Inuyasha please tell me it is a joke.' Her voice became a distant memory as she sobbed into his haori. Her eyes made their way to his.
"Tell me Inuyasha! Tell me this is a joke!" Her hands fisted in his haori. "Dammit Inuyasha! Your lying, please tell me your lying." He looked to the floor, his mind rushing to find something to day.
"I-I can't tell you that Kagome." His eyes glassed over, seeing her soul through her eyes, breaking, shattering. It wasn't soon before her world went black. The last thing she remember was being cradled in Inuyasha's arms.
He picked her up from the floor and brought her to his room. He laid her on the bed and covered her with some blankets. There was a slight tap at the door. "Come in Shippo." The door opened and Shippo walked in.
"Inuyasha? Is that really Kagome?" He crawled on the bed and looked at the sleeping form. A smile made its way to Inuyasha's face.
"Yes, it is." A smile crept its way from ear to ear.
"She is back! Kagome is back!" His celebration was rewarded with a slap over the head.
"SHH! She is trying to sleep." Inuyasha picked up the kitsune by the tail and walked out of the room. "Shippo how would you like to do me a favor?" The kitsune nodded his head vigorously.
"Great then. Stay here and watch over Kagome. I have some things I need to take care of." Inuyasha sat Shippo down by the door. "Give her a tour when she wakes up ok?"
"Ok, Inuyasha. HEY! Where are you going?" Shippo ran after Inuyasha leaving the door unguarded.
"SHIPPO! I told you to watch over Kagome. Besides I will be back in a couple of hours." Shippo nodded and went back to his post. "Remember never leave her alone." He gracefully jumped out the window.
Inuyasha sniffed the air and took off to the North. 'Hm. So the little jackass didn't go that far. Figures!' Inuyasha continued stealthy jumping from tree to tree. Landing in a small clearing right in front of a village.
He hadn't been there 5 minutes and arrows were already flying at him. Of course he could dodge them easily, so it was not big deal.
"Hold your fire men!" A tall man walked out of the shadows to come face to face with Inuyasha. "What do you want! Give me one good reason before I kill you, Inuyasha!"
"Now is not the time to fight. Look, Kagome is back and-" Inuyasha didn't get a chance to finish his sentence.
"LIAR! Kagome is dead and you know it! Draw your sword Inuyasha! And prepare to fight." He lunged at the hanyou, missing only by an inch.
"DAMMIT! I dont want to fight you! Kagome is back! If you dont believe me then come back to my castle and see for yourself, if she is not there then you may kill me." He tugged at the man haori.
"And fall into your trap NEVER!" Again he tried to attack Inuyasha, again failing, but the burning hatred inside him told him to not stop.
"Damn now look what you did!" Inuyasha pointed to his arm where there was a slight tear of the skin. "Bring as many men as you want. Will that prove this is not a trap?"
"Why do you not fight me? If what you say is true and Kagome is back then why is she not with you?" He waved for his men to leave the two alone. Against their better judgment they did.
"She is still trying to get over what has happened this past year ok? She knows the well was destroyed, but that is all she knows. I need help, I know you miss her and she misses you. If you wont come for me atleast come for her!" The man stood trying to figure out if what Inuyasha was saying was indeed true.
"Fine, Inuyasha. I will go, but I am bringing someone. If Kagome is indeed alive she will be able to remove the curse that was put on her by Takakazu" The man started to walk towards his village.
"I'm sure she would love to." Inuyasha followed right behind him. 'I'm sure Kagome is going to love to see them again.'
"Inuyasha? I've noticed I have said your name numerous times since we came face to face again, yet you have not said mine once. Do you even remember it?" A smirk highlighting his face.
"Of course I do, what do you think I am? Forgetful?" A sweatdrop made its way on his face, he knew the man before him but could not put a name to it. Had it really been that long?
"Then what is it?" The man walked into a small hut and began talking to someone. Telling them he was leaving with Kazoo mate and Inuyasha. 'Kazoo's mate?'
