Chapter 3
Kagome Returns
Kagome had just finished her last class of the day and was slowly riding her bike home. She had a tired expression.
"I couldn't concentrate on any of my classes today because all I could think about was the jerk Inuyasha. I bet I failed my two tests too!" she exclaimed.
"I had been thinking about it all day. About whether or not I should tell Inuyasha how I feel." Kagome said quietly.
"I love him, heh...It's so easy to say to myself then to bring myself out to tell him. I don't think I could bring myself to do it, but I can't help but to wonder what would happen if I did tell him. Nothing good I'm sure." She said with a sad tone of voice. Kagome finally made it home. She parked her bike at the side of her house. She slowly walked inside and took off her shoes.
"I'm home" she said sadly. There was no reply. She walked into the kitchen. There was a faint smell of ramen and unagi. On the counter there was a small green note
"Gone out grocery shopping with Souta and grandpa! Be back later! Love you, Mom" is what the note said.
"Hmm, guess I'm going to be alone for a while. Maybe I should go to the Feudal Era." said Kagome happily.
"No, what am I thinking? Inuyasha is probably still upset with me. I can't go back now, not yet. Tomorrow." She said.
Kagome grabbed her backpack that she left at the door with her shoes.
"I might as well do my homework tonight, that way I won't have to worry about it when I go to back to the Feudal Era tomorrow." She lugged her backpack up to her room and spread its contents all over her desk. She began her math homework and got about two problems into it. She absent mindedlt started tapping her pencil on her desk in a nervous way.
"I can't concentrate," she groaned. She shut her math book and went downstairs and out the backdoor. She continued across the shrine until she made it to the well. She stood next to the well and looked down like she expected something or someone to appear.
"Who am I kidding?" she said.
"Inuyasha won't come for me, I know that," she said matter-of-factly.
"Why? Why Inuyasha? Why do I have to constantly think about you!?" she yelled into the well.
"Heh, that was a dumb question," she said to her, "it's because I love him." She smiled into the well.
"Well, I can't concentrate here, and there is nothing to do, so I might as well get this argument settled. I hate being angry anyway." She ran back to her house and grabbed her backpack and ran back outside to the well.
"Well, here it goes." She said. "Let's get this over with." She thought as she jumped into the well.
When Kagome finally reached the Feudal Era, she threw her backpack over the well. She pulled herself up slowly only to find Inuyasha perched on the side of the well looking down as if he was about to jump through it.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome smiled. "What are you doing here?" she asked cheerfully but half cautious.
"What do you think I was doing?" he asked with an annoyed tone. "You were taking forever, so I came to drag you back whether you were still mad at me or not!" he said looking away from her.
"Oh," Kagome said quietly, "I'm not upset anymore."
"Well it's not like I care anyway." Said Inuyasha defiantly.
"Of course you don't." said Kagome more to herself than to him. Inuyasha looked at Kagome with a sort of confused and hurt expression. They both walked in silence to where Miroku and Sango were still sitting.
