Unexplained Emotions

Chapter Two

Kagome sat staring up at the stars. She remembered how she used to spend her childhood staring up at the stars. She closed her eyes at the memory. She had a new life and she had to accept that she was now a slave. She looked over at Inuyasha and smiled. He sat up in his tree 'pretending' to be sleeping. He reminded her of someone she knew. She would never see him again though. She closed her eyes. 'Maybe I'll tell him in the morning. He looks like he's thinking of something important.' She shook her head. 'Why should I care what he does? Why do I even bother trying to be happy around him? No, I wasn't pretending back there. I was truly happy. Why?' She looked back at Inuyasha. 'There is just something about him that brought me back.' She yawned and drifted into a dreamless sleep.

Inuyasha, on the other hand, was drowning in his thoughts. Well, his thoughts on Kagome that is. 'She is so confusing. One minute she is all sad then she gets this flaming personality. Plus, how on earth did she beat me? Only that one girl, umm what's her name? Well only she beat me and I haven't seen her in such a long time. I'll ask her about it tomorrow.' He jumped down from his branch and walked over to her and sat down. He looked at her face. It was so peaceful yet showed it was stressed in some way. 'She looks so cute sleeping.'

Whoa! Did I just say that?

Yes you did.

Who are you?

Who else dummy! I'm you!

Well then you just called yourself a dummy.

Whatever just do us all a favor and admit it.

Admit what?

Admit what! That you like her stupid.

I do not! Besides she is a slave!

What if she wasn't? Would you like her then?

I-I d-don't know! Now go away!

Fine but I WILL be back……………

Next Morning

Kagome awoke the next morning feeling energized and happy. She did not want to open her eyes though the sun was too bright. So she just lay there. When she realized something was not right. 'I don't remember having a blanket last night.' She was almost scared to open her eyes. She felt something on her chest. She slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes became as wide as dinner plates when she saw two fluffy white ears and silver hair on her chest. Overnight they had come closer and Inuyasha had snuggled his head into her chest and wrapped his arms around her waist. When she tried to get up he tightened his grip on her waist and snuggled further into her chest. She became extremely red and tried to move only to have the same thing happen. Then she heard him mumble into her chest. "My Kagome, all mine." She blushed furiously at this. Then she saw his ears. Even while he slept they were twitching. She found this a chance and reached for them. The moment she started rubbing them he began to purr. 'He reminds of that boy so bad.' His ears began to twitch and he began to open his eyes. His eyes were so wide that they threatened to burst out of their sockets. He quickly released his hold on Kagome and blushed furiously.

"Why didn't you move away?"

"Why didn't I move away!!! You had a death grip on me that's why!"

Inuyasha blushed. 'I don't remember doing that. I must have fallen asleep next to her. But……she was rubbing my ears! And I LIKED it! No one has ever rubbed my ears and actually makes me purr since……………' Kagome stood up and walked over to the horses. She stroked their fur down. She looked at Inuyasha and caught him staring at her again. She blushed and looked away toward the lake. Inuyasha found himself staring at her more and more often. He shook his head. They better get going. He told Kagome and they started. It was an awkward silence. Neither has spoken to each other or had made any signs of communication unless you count them 'secretly' stealing glances. Inuyasha would look at Kagome and look away the moment Kagome looked his way. Same goes for Kagome. Finally Inuyasha spoke up. "Are you mad at me or something?" He couldn't take the silence it was killing him. He didn't want her to be mad at him although he didn't know why. Kagome stopped her horse and looked at him funny. 'I am his SLAVE why should it matter if I am mad or not. Why doesn't he just hit me or something?' Inuyasha caught her look and became frustrated. "What did I do now?" Kagome smiled at him. He stopped. What was this feeling? It felt warm. He shook his head. "You didn't do anything." 'Was she scared I was gonna hit her or something?' Then they reached the castle.

It was beautiful. It was a large castle. All white and had millions of flowers surrounding. Kagome gasped. 'I haven't seen such a place like this since…………' Her thoughts were interrupted as she was covered with guards. Inuyasha was shocked what was the meaning of this. His guards were not capturing her they were shielding her. Suddenly he and Kagome were shoved into the palace. Inuyasha was enraged and was about to start his babbling when his parents came in. He closed his mouth as his mother spoke.

"I am terribly sorry Inuyasha for the entrance." She waved the guards to leave. They bowed and left. Her eyes trailed around and stopped at Kagome. Her main focus was Kagome. Then suddenly she ran up to Kagome and nearly killed her in a rib crushing embrace. Inuyasha was utterly bewildered by his mother's actions. Then his father spoke up. "Izayoi, umm I think you are going to kill the girl." Izayoi blinked then released her. "Oops. Sorry Kagome dear."

Kagome this whole time gave Inuyasha a crazy look saying "Are your parents always like this?" Inuyasha caught Kagome's look. "Mom, what's going on here?" Izayoi frowned this was the part that she did not want to do. She grabbed hold of Kagome and they walked into another room. She looked at her husband before leaving then left. He sighed. "Inuyasha, Kagome cannot be your slave." Oddly enough Inuyasha wasn't disappointed in losing his slave just curious. "Why?" Sugumi was shocked at his son's calmness. He stared at the ceiling. He seemed to be thinking. The silence went like this for and unbearable hour. Finally Sugumi opened his mouth to speak.

"Inuyasha, tell me, do you remember the young girl who you played with?"

"Yeah, I forgot her name. What about her? Didn't she die?"

"She's standing right in front of you."

Sugumi stepped aside. Inuyasha's jaw dropped. It couldn't be! He stared at the girl in front of him.

"T-they told me you were ……………dead."

With Kagome

Izayoi had pulled her into another room. It was lavishly painted red. Then she was pulled into yet another room. This one was filled with clothes. Out of nowhere she felt her clothes fall. She was about to screech when Izayoi covered her mouth. Izayoi pointed her to the hot springs and told her to hurry. She gave her a shove and told her to make it quick. Kagome was totally in shock but did it anyways. The hot springs was wonderful. Servants came and immediately started to scrub. In less than thirty minutes she was shoved back out. The moment she got out she was given a light blue kimono. It had baby blue flowers on it. Izayoi motioned for her to change then left the room. Kagome still completely clueless did what she was told. She was almost done when she looked into the mirror. She smiled she was who she used to be. Then she realized that this was a replica of her dress that she wore that day……… The moment she finished Izayoi popped in. Izayoi smiled and did her hair. Then Kagome decided to speak up.

"Excuse me, this might not be my place but why are you doing this?"

"You mean you truly don't know? Kagome don't you remember?"

"What are you talking about?"

"What am I saying, of course you don't remember the last time I saw you was when you were only a child."

Kagome's eyes widened. This couldn't be……… "I-is this the w-western l-lands???" Izayoi nodded and Kagome nearly fainted. Then that meant that Inuyasha was that little boy who she played with that day. She chuckled at the reason for all this rush. In one hour she had taken a bath, changed, did her hair, and turned back to the girl who she truly was. Suddenly Izayoi pushed her out the door.

Normal

"T-they told me you were ……………dead."

He couldn't believe it. How could he? The girl who he had been traveling with was the girl who everyone claimed dead. He remembered the pain he felt when they had told him she was dead.

Ten Years Earlier

It was a sunny day outside. Inuyasha was running around in the fields all by himself. This started as a normal day. The seven year old Inuyasha always played with himself until that day. He threw his ball over to the bush. He was about to get it when it rolled back at him. He sniffed the air and was overwhelmed by the scent. His ears started twitching as he focused his eyes back to the bush. Out popped a young girl. Her eyes were large and filled with a burning flame. She had ebony hair. She looked like she was about five years old. She held a toothy grin.

"Hi! My name is Kagome! What's yours?"

"I-Inuyasha."

"Can I play with you?" Little Inuyasha stood shocked. He had never played with anyone else in his life. He nodded slowly. She grabbed his hand and headed for the flower bed not to far. Just when they reached there she stopped and she looked at him. She hadn't stopped to look at him 'til now. He had two fluffy ears and silver hair. He was about half a head taller then her. She eyed the ears. Inuyasha saw her look and it scared him. He was about to run when she 'attacked'. He fell to the floor with her on top. She sat up and pulled him up and sat behind him. She grabbed his ears and started to rub them. He began to purr and she was thrilled and started to laugh hysterically. 'He is like a puppy!' Then she stood up and began to run. He frowned. He liked the way it felt when she rubbed his ears he would never admit it though. He got up and chased her.

Izayoi watched this from inside the palace. She had gotten news from the Lord of the North that they would be coming with their daughter. It was nice to see Inuyasha play with someone. Then the guards announced the Lords' arrival. She found them quite distressed. She asked them what was wrong. They told her that their daughter ran off and now they couldn't find her. Izayoi was taken by surprise and wondered about that young girl. She led them over to the window where they gasped. It was their little girl. They had never seen her so happy. They decided to let them play for awhile. They had come to make a deal with Sugumi and Izayoi. The deal was made and assured. It stated that if anything should happen to them then they would want it to go to the western lands. They knew each other well. The deal was made and they were about to leave. Kagome bowed to them and was about to leave. Then she turned around and ran back to Inuyasha. She whispered that they would meet again one day. She tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek and ran back to her parents.

Two Months Earlier

He hadn't seen her since. He waited for the day that they would meet again. However it seemed that it was never possible. Their parents were still in contact without their knowledge however. That was ten years ago. About two months earlier, a messenger had urgent news from the Northern Kingdom. The messenger was pale and collapsed. After several hours he awoke.

Inuyasha had been away for that time. When Inuyasha heard it was news from the Northern palace he immediately came back. The messenger barely made his message out. He was in tears. This worried Inuyasha to no end. Finally he said what was meant to be said. The Northern Kingdom has been attacked. Izayoi started to cry and Sugumi tried to comfort her. Inuyasha urged him to continue about the Higurashi family. The messenger cleared his throat……………………………………everyone had perished. Inuyasha's world stopped right then and there. That girl died. Kagome had died. His only friend had died. He was so shocked that he shut himself in his room for two months. When he came back out he was still sad but looked better. He had forgotten her name and was 'smiling' again and had his tough attitude back. They wanted to celebrate this. So they went to get Inuyasha a slave.

Now

Inuyasha walked towards her. Izayoi grabbed Sugumi who was starring wide-eyed and pulled him out of the room. Kagome looked at him. She remembered the little boy. Then she smiled. Suddenly she was pulled into a tight embrace. Inuyasha wouldn't let go of her. She returned the embrace. "You have no idea how I felt when they told me you were dead. You were my only friend." Kagome soothed him by rubbing his back comfortably. She smiled. Somebody cared about her. Her parents never really cared. Her father died when she was eight. She sighed. She whispered in his ears. "Inuyasha I'm here now and that's what matters right?" Then he immediately let go and put back on his tough expression. "Whatever, you were just my only friend then now I have several. Go get me some food of something." Kagome got furious at this. "I am not your slave anymore go get it yourself."

On the other side of the door, Inuyasha's parents were listening. Izayoi sighed. "Well she is right she is no longer a slave. Tomorrow I will get her new clothes and such." Sugumi just nodded as they walked to their room. Sigh. To have both Inuyasha and Kagome's room next to each other might just be the end of them.

With Inuyasha and Kagome

When they found that they had to share a room with each other for the night there was a big argument. Finally the two came to terms. Inuyasha would be on the side by the window and Inuyasha the side by the door. The two lay within good distance on the bed. They weren't going to sleep yet though. They were both engulfed in their thoughts on one another. 'So he is the little boy from then. I wonder why he did that back then.' Kagome put her mind to rest and drifted into sleep. Inuyasha once again was fighting a losing battle against himself.

Why did I do that back there?

Because you like her.

Not you again.

You know you do.

No I don't!

Yes you do how else do you explain your unexplained emotions?

What?

Exactly.

You make no sense.

Only because this brain has no logic.

Exactly………Hey!!!

But the voice had already left. He looked at Kagome who had already fallen asleep. He yawned and found himself falling to sleep.
