Chapter 4- The persuasion of Inuyasha
"So what do we do now girl?" Inuyasha asked expectantly once they were out of Kaede's home.
"I have a name Inuyasha so use it! Or I won't help you." Kirsty replied indignantly. She had never thought that Inuyasha really could be as big a jerk as in the series, but he was.
"Yeah, you should be kind to her Inuyasha." Shippo said. "He is the one who is going to help us stop Naraku a lot faster."
"Fine. Come on Kirsty, let's go." Inuyasha said walking away from the village and the forest where the well was.
"We're leaving without Kagome?" Sango asked stopping and looking back in the direction of the well.
"Inuyasha, don't we need Kagome to find the jewel shards?" Miroku asked, also stopping and looking back in the direction of the well.
"Feh, we don't need her now. We have Kirsty." Inuyasha replied still walking.
"Wait a second Inuyasha." Kirsty said, stopping and taking out one of the books, and flipping through. "I can see in the future, not the Shikon Jewel shards. If you don't get Kagome, there will be no future of knowing where the jewel shards are. In order to defeat Naraku, we need Kagome." Inuyasha stopped and turned around.
"She will only want to see her wolf boy." Inuyasha said looking at the ground. Kirsty started to get angry; it was like trying to make a stubborn child see reason; then again, the stubborn child would probably be easier than Inuyasha.
"Sango, Miroku, Shippo will you please leave us; I need to give Inuyasha a taste of my powers."
"Sure." Sango said. "Let's go find Kirara boys." After making sure that the three of them were gone Kirsty turned to Inuyasha.
"You stubborn fool. Kagome doesn't like Koga."
"Feh. How do you know?" Inuyasha asked unable to believe that any of her words were true.
"Because, like I said, where I am from you are an anime TV show. Before I cam here all of my books had some of your adventures in them, and-"Kirsty stopped unsure if she should say that Kagome had told Koga that she was seeing Inuyasha.
"And what?" Inuyasha asked impatiently.
"And Kagome slapped Koga, because he was claiming her as his woman and he was insulting you." Kirsty said deciding that it would be best not to Inuyasha what Kagome had said about going out with him; and leave that to Inuyasha and Kagome. Inuyasha looked up at her.
"Then why did she let him escape?"
"Kagome has far to kind a heart to just stand by and watch you finish him off when he was to badly injured to fight. He may have kidnapped her, but he protected her. Now go bring her back Inuyasha, so we can go get the jewel shards, and stop Naraku." Inuyasha sat down on the grass.
"She is probably still angry at me." Kirsty sat down next to him, and opened one of her books and read a few pages.
"She is not angry at you." Kirsty said after looking at a tree next to them. "She is longing and waiting for you to come and get her. Go, admit you were wrong for not trusting her. She is also sorry for turning around and helping Koga after you saved her. Now go and get her. Don't make me say it again." Inuyasha got up and head over to the well, no more questions asked. Kirsty, who was still sitting, turned her head in the direction the near by tree and shouted. "Miroku, Sango, Shippo! Don't think that I didn't see you behind that tree in my book."
Three heads poked out from behind the tree grinning nervously. "Guess we're busted." Shippo said ducking behind Sango. Kirsty sighed and started walking toward the well, where she would wait for Kagome and Inuyasha.
Over in Kagome's era Inuyasha swiftly jumped out of the well, in the shrine, over to Kagome's room. "Damn." Inuyasha said coming in through her window and having a look around her room. "She isn't here." He sniffed the air. Kagome's scent was all over the room. Inuyasha sat there in a daze thinking that he might as well just wait until Kagome comes back, or else the others would get angry and think that he did not complete the job.
The sound of a door sliding open came from downstairs. "Hi, I'm home." It was Kagome. The sound of the door closing was then preceded by her footsteps coming up the stairs. Inuyasha started panicking; Kagome couldn't walk in on him sitting on her bedroom floor in a daze! The door knob started to turn. He had two options, he could lie on her bed and make it seem like he had been waiting; or he could escape through the window. The door started to open.
The window was closed; Inuyasha could not possibly escape through the window without being seen; he had only one option. Inuyasha threw himself on the bed his hands be hind his head, and his right leg crossed over the left. He looked very calm, cool, and collected compared to what he was feeling inside. "Inuyasha!" Kagome said a little startled. "What are you doing here?"
"Why else?" Inuyasha said. "To bring you back, and to apologize for thinking you would get involved with Koga." Kagome looked very surprised; never in her right mind did she think that Inuyasha would apologize first.
"You apologized?" Kagome said in disbelief, a smile spread widely on her face. "Thank you, I accept your apology."
Inuyasha's mind was racing with thoughts. 'Is that it? Kirsty said she was going to apologize, she must have been wrong. I feel like such a fool!'
"I also have something I want to apologize for," Kagome said Inuyasha looked up. Kirsty had been right. "I'm sorry for helping Koga, after you rescued me. But you understand why I couldn't just stand there and watch you kill him when he was injured, right?"
"I understand Kagome. You should come back; there have been some... changes."
"Changes?" Kagome said confused. "What kind of changes?"
"You'll see. Come on lets go, they are all waiting for us." Kagome packed some things into her abnormally huge yellow backpack. Since it was Friday she could cross over to the feudal era. She and Inuyasha trudged down stairs. Before Kagome left the house she shouted.
"Bye Mom! I'll be in the feudal era!" To any normal family this would be strange; but it wasn't for the Higurashi family. She and Inuyasha went over to the well and jumped in.
