Chapter Seven: From bad, to worse, to worst
Kagome sat down at her desk, and opened up the book. She skimmed through the table of contents, but nothing caught her eye. Half the things didn't even make sense. 'Inu Yasha doesn't make sense.' Her eyes became saddened at once.
Why did she always go through this pain? Why was she going back? Why did she care? 'Because I love him, and I know it.' She rested her head on her arms, and sighed depressingly. 'Even if I go back, he'll never forgive me. The things that I've said were harsh. And all the times I sat him. Now, even if I go back, I'll be alone. Alone. Something I've been lately. I've been pushing people away, and I'm aware of it, but….. I do it any ways. I can't let him ruin my life. No matter how much I care, he won't ever return my feelings. Yet, there's hope. Hope, that one day, he'll se me, for me. Even if that hope is only a small dwindling fire in a small dark corner of my heart. I will always have hope.' Tears slowly made wet trails down her face despite her command for them not to fall at all.
O_o Inu Yasha o_O
Inu Yasha sat atop his tree reminiscing. Kagome was gone. Forever. 'Forever.' The word rang through his mind over and over again. 'How long is forever? Is it as long as eternity?' He hoped not. He would wait forever for Kagome to return, but he didn't know if he could wait for eternity. It was a long time to be alone.
He sighed, and stared sadly at the spot where Kikyou was supposed to be, and then shifted his gaze back to where Sango, Miroku, and Shippou would be sleeping. They were gone. They had all abandoned him. For what? Why had they left him? Because he was a, 'Heartless bastard!' in Sango's words. His eyes fogged over, and he began to live the groups confrontation over again in his head.
*_* Flash back *_*
Inu Yasha's eyes furrowed in confusion. He was trying to fit together the puzzle. Why was Kikyou so demanding all of a sudden? Why could he not say what he willed himself to say? Kikyou was out gathering rare herbs in the forest near by. Ironic. Why did they always stop by a forest?
"Inu Yasha!" a harsh voice called from the ground.
His eyes shifted down to find Miroku, Sango, and Shippou standing at the base of the tree. "What?!" he snapped. 'Stupid people always interrupting my train of thought.'
"Inu Yasha, why did you let that whore join our group?" Sango stared hard at him.
"What I do, and why I do it, is none of your business."
"Mommy will be hurt when she comes back!" A small voice wailed.
"Newsflash for you runt. She ain't coming back. She hates in here." 'She hates me! Stop! I have Kikyou now.' "Sides, we don't need her anymore we've got Kikyou."
Miroku stood up to bat. "Speaking of Lady Kikyou, Inu Yasha, with all do respect…..she'd practically the devil himself. She's trouble Inu Yasha. Just forget about her."
"She's the past. Let her go. You don't owe her anything. Right now, we have to focus on getting Kag…" Sango never finished her sentence. Shippou's sniffles could be heard in the background.
"SHE ISN'T COMING BACK!!! SHE HATES IT HERE! SHE HAS NOTHING HERE TO COME BACK TO! WE'RE BETTER OFF WITHOUT HER!!!!"
Inu Yasha paused. Had he just said that? Why had he said that. 'Do I truly believe that she won't come back? Did I mean every word I just said?'
"She hates it HERE?! Or she hates YOU?!" Everyone stared surprised at Shippou.
"Shut up if you know what's good for you Brat!"
"Why? So you go and bitch some more about Mommy?!!"
"Shippou," Sango began, "let's go. If Kagome's not needed here, then we aren't either." Sango scooped Shippou up, and turned to walk away.
Miroku followed suit, but paused to look over his shoulder. "Kikyou is you past. Kagome is your future. You are my friend, and I care. But right now, you must choose your own path. Be careful Inu Yasha. If you don't choose wisely, you may loose the only thing you've ever really wanted." And he continued walking.
*o* End Flash back *o*
Inu Yasha swallowed hard. The scene running over again in his head. Inu Yasha sighed, and jumped from his perch in the cherry blossom tree. He walked back to the villiage 50 km away. Kikyou would not return that night. It was her soul collecting night.
He walked past, the well, but stopped, as a small pink book with a blue heart in the middle caught his eye. It had Kagome's scent all over it. He slowly walked over, and picked it up. He opened the first page, and found the words, "Stop! Caution! Kagome's Diary! Do not touch."
He snorted. "Stupid wench. You think a few words would stop someone reading it?" he muttered under his breathe.
He opened it to the first page, and the first sentence caught his eye.
"Dear Diary,
I think I'm in love with Inu Yasha."
@_@ Kagome @_@
Kagome sighed, and stared at the clock. Three in the morning. She still hadn't even finished her homework. Sighing, she pulled out her math book, and began the long list of equations, but not soon after, she fell asleep.
^_^ Next Day ^_^
Kagome was awoke with a jolt as the sun poured in her window. "Shoot! I'm late!" She quickly pulled on her uniform, and dashed down the stairs.
She ran down the buisy streets of Tokyo trying to get to school before second bell. She burst through the metal doors to find empty halls. Cursing under her breathe, she quietly crept to her first class. She slipped in quietly, and was almost there, when….
"Ms. Higurashi, I believe you are late."
"Sorry Mr. Cummings."
"Why are you late?"
"I stayed up late last night researching some facts."
The teacher raised an eyebrow. "Very well. Take a seat, and hand in your essay."
"Essay?" Kagome squeaked.
"Yes. The one on the European explorer, Christopher Columbus. Remember him?" his voice was dry, and he pushed his glasses up his nose.
Kagome chuckled uneasily. She knew that the whole class was watching. Wondering what she would do. "Ummmm….."
"Well Ms. Higurashi, since you don't seem to have it finished, you have a 2:00 detention till 4:00 sweeping the entire hall way."
Kagome groaned, and made her way to her seat. She got off easy, and she knew it. Just wait till the other teachers found her homework incomplete.
*_*8:00pm*_*
Kagome dragged her tired feet home. First, she mopped the hall until 4:00, then she spent another three hours helping to organize books in the library, and spent the last hour writing up an English essay.
She stopped abruptly in the middle of the street. Something was wrong. There was an aura here. An evil one. It was just there. But, why was it in her time? She quickened her steps. Her walk became a brisk one, then a jog, and finally, she broke into a run.
She ran faster, urged her legs faster still as the aura became stronger. It was coming from the shrine. She dashed up the step, and tore open the door. She dropped her bag to the ground in shock.
Blood. Everywhere. Blood on the floor, walls, and even furniture. She walked in feebly. Blood slowly draining from her face.
"Mamma? Grandpa? Souta?"
She walked into the family room, and her legs gave way. Her eyes brimmed with tears. Dead. Her family lay dead in a pile in the floor. She reached out to touch them, but a purple flame engulfed them, and the burned to ashes. Nothing was left.
"NOOOO!!!!!"
Kagome's eyes flashed red. Miko magic. She could sense it. It was every where. She followed it out into the well.
"NOOO!!!!!!!!" She banged her fist against the wood. How could someone break the seal? How could the cross between the time warp?
But then, realization struck her. Her lose was much more painful when she thought about it. The last conversation with her mother was three weeks ago. The last thing she had told her grandpa was that his job was stupid. And Souta, so young, and already dead. He had so much going for him.
One name came to mind. "KIKYOU!!!!!!!"
^_^ Inu Yasha ^_^
Inu Yasha hesitantly flipped through to the last page. He had found out so much. How could he be so blind? The one he loved and needed was in front of him, and he had lost her to himself.
He slowly read the last diary entry under his breathe.
"Dear Diary,
Hey! It's been a while huh? Well, not much good news. Inu Yasha's with Kikyou. I think he still loves her. He says he owes her his life, but it's more than that. He promised to protect me. He lied. He couldn't stop tearing my heart apart. Every time I see him and Kikyou embrace, kiss, or even talk, it tears me apart. Sango, and Miroku are always there to me. I love Miroku, and Sango. They are like my brothers and sisters I never had. And Shippou is like a surrogate son to me. I love them all. But Inu Yasha, I could not imagine life without him. Thought it seems he can imagine it without me. I must tell him soon, but I wouldn't want to burden him. Gods, I have to stop hurting everyone. They worry about me to much, and I fear for their health. I must go. Inu Yasha is coming back. He doesn't know, but I heard him and Kikyou a couple nights ago. I was right. I am only his shard ditector, and Kikyou his soul mate. After all, those words came from his mouth. What better evidence is their?
Kagome Higurashi"
Inu Yasha stared at the book. She had heard. She had heard. He had done that to her. He had turned her into the emotionless person that she had portrayed. And she had intentionally tried to give him and the group space, so that they would not worry about her.
'Kagome. I love you.'
