Authors Note: Thank you for your support readers. I am very new to this
InuYasha world, and I need your help, suggestions, tips, and comments. You
can contact me by my email address: mizzunderstood91604yahoo.com or you
can contact me if you are a Neopets user at my neoname demo91604. Now for
Chapter Two. I do not own InuYasha or any anime because if I did...well...just
be thankful I don't...it would even confuse the creators of anime...
Chapter Two Kagome's POV
That night we made camp by the swamp. I had walked down to the bank of it under the new moon and had just sat there, comforted by the stars light. Silence overcame me, darkness became my friend, and nothingness swallowed me. But suddenly a presence filled the night and I was ripped out of my world of peacefulness, out of my refuge that had taken me from this past. It was not Shippo, for Shippo created a humorous feeling deep down. It was not Sango, for Sango would have held the honor of a warrior. It was not Miroku, for Miroku had no reason to bother me at this hour. But InuYasha, in his human form, was behind me, not speaking, not moving, and just standing there. Just taking in the nothingness of the night.
"Kagome..." he whispered, throwing a knife through the present silence and killing it in one swift move. Suddenly I was back on the bank again, aware of every moving thing around me.
"Why have you come from your nightly thoughts of Kikyo so early, InuYasha," I whispered, wrapping my arms around myself as a type of security method. A method that could not shield me from InuYasha.
"Kagome..." he repeated, not saying a word other than my name. Time seemed to stop around me, and I wondered for a second if Shippo had awakened and was diluting my mind with illusions. But InuYasha's hand had reached my shoulder, and from the quick shock that crept through me, I knew it was real.
"Why do you wish to torture me tonight," I whispered, not realizing what I had said at the time. But I had said the one thing I had meant to say so long. The one thing that burned in my heart, why did he wish to torture me? Torture my mind, my heart, my life. Why did he hurt me so? Why do I let him hurt me...to torture me?
"Humans," InuYasha suddenly growled, "they are slaves to their own emotions. They are so weak, so pitifully weak..." His voice trailed off.
"Humans are not ignorant," I said suddenly, my voice icy cold. I had jumped swiftly to my feet, looking InuYasha straight in the eyes.
"No?" he questioned, I could tell trying to match my tone.
"They know precisely what they mean to say, to do..."
"Really, Kagome. So you have control over what you feel, what you do, what you speak? If so, why do you seem to lose control at just the right time?" he said raising an eyebrow at me.
"Because," I said beginning to walk towards the place where I had first tried to find sleep, "sometimes human are so weak."
-Authors Note: Okay, it's a bit short, but I wanted to give you an update. I also think that I got what I wanted to put out in Chapter Two summed up in this chapter. So, thanks for reading. R&R.
