A/N: Thank you to those who reviewed but my computer has a virus and it won't let me online so I couldn't read all the reviews. Just to let you know, I happen to be a VERY sensitive girl and if I receive any flames it will make me feel so bad that I would stop writing that fic all together. So please no flames. If you don't like what I'm writing, don't shove it in my face. Try to be polite and help me instead of being rude and make me feel crappy. Thank you, again, to those who reviewed and made me feel good about my writing. Enjoy the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha or Sailor Moon so quit bugging me. My life is stressful enough.
Chapter Three: Cold in Life's Throws
"Usagi," I whispered, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm so sorry Ami," Usagi looked sad, her crystal blue eyes didn't hold the same cheeriness as usual, "I don't know what's come over them. They've never acted like this before." I motioned her in and we sat down on the leather couch in the living room.
"You didn't need to apologize, Usagi." I looked down, "It's not your fault."
She shook her head, "It isn't yours either. You did not do anything to them and they said all those nasty things about you."
I smiled at her. 'Usagi really is a good friend,' I thought, 'Ever since the day I met her.' "Thank you for coming to see me,"
She returned the smile, "You're my friend Ami. I don't want to see any of my friends hurt." I suddenly felt like I was going to cry. I knew Usagi would never try to hurt me on purpose. She and Kagome were the best friends I have ever had.
"I talked to the guys about the other day," Usagi told me, "They were. . . serious, but. . . they didn't really mean to tell you so harshly. They didn't exactly want to hurt your feelings."
"How could they phrase it without hurting my feelings?" I asked, "They don't want me here. It's obvious." She stared at me sympathetically.
She sighed, "I don't really know how to answer that, but I do know that they didn't always hate you. They were your friends once," She smiled, "I can feel it."
I said goodbye to Usagi before she left after giving me a hug. She made me feel so much better when we talked. Almost as if she knew exactly how I felt all the time. I closed the front door and walked back into my room. I opened a drawer on my dresser and pulled out a small photo album. Flipping through pages I found what I was looking for. It was a picture of Kagome and me on out last day together at the train station. I had cried that day. So many memories came rushing back. I put the photo album down and waited for tomorrow to come.
I got on the bus near my apartment to leave for Sunset Shrine. Sitting towards the back I pulled out a book to read from my knap sack. I read for about five minutes until I decided I couldn't concentrate. I slid it back in and looked out the window. As my luck had it, I saw Minako, Makoto, and Rei walking down the sidewalk happily. I longed to be among them again. But like I said, 'I won't get broken again'.
In about another five minutes the Shrine came into view. I pulled the cable above the window and the bus driver stopped and opened the doors. I got off the bus and breathed in a deep breath. After two years I can finally see Kagome. I walked up the steps and walked to the house part of the shrine. I knocked on the door. There was no response. Knocking again someone opened the door. It looked like Kagome's Grandpa."Konnichi wa, I'm Ami Mizuno. Is Kagome in?" I asked politely.
"I'm sorry, Miss Mizuno. But Kagome is in bed with a . . . . foot fungus." He said. 'Foot Fungus?' I thought, 'But how can she get one so quickly?'
"Um . . . . okay." I said, "Could you tell her I stopped by and that I hope she feels better?"
He smiled, "Sure thing." And he closed the door. 'That's weird,' I thought, 'Kagome would have told me beforehand if she was sick.' Sighing I turned around and was about to make my way down the steps when I saw something. It was the Well House. Now I remember it, I had always wondered what it looked like inside, but I've never really been the nosy type. I'm still a little curious though. I walked towards it. No harm in just looking around for a minute.
I glanced behind me to make sure no one was there and opened the door. Stepping inside I looked around. I felt disappointed. I was kind of expecting to see some big type of secret, but instead there was only dust and a well. I walked towards the well and bent over to see in it. I suddenly lost my footing and tripped into the well. I screamed. The next thing I knew was darkness.
A/N: Whoa this was a short chapter. I really don't know where to go on with the next chapter so don't expect another update for a while. For those of you who read this story and don't review, please do so (but don't flame me!). All you can say is 'Good job' or 'I liked that chapter' or something like that because it might encourage me to update more often! Also I want to get as much reviews as possible. And if I mess anything up with InuYasha let me know. REVIEW!!!!!!!!!
