Chapter Three Resentment
"Please let me explain Kagome!?" InuYasha begged.
"NO!" Kagome said as she let go of the well. InuYasha at that point forgot all about Kikyo and Jumped into the well after Kagome.
'I can't believe he would do that! He told me that he loved me with all of his heart.' Kagome thought. Kagome got out of the well and ran towards her house when she heard someone come out of the well.
"Wait Kagome, let me explain!" InuYasha yelled.
"No! You don't love me half as much as you say you do! You were with Kikyo!" Kagome yelled back clearly angry. InuYasha was taken back by that comment. He realized that there was a lot of anger and resentment in her voice. He decided that it was best to choose his words wisely.
"Kagome please let me explain. Kikyo kissed me. I was trying to stop her. I know that it probably didn't look like it buy I was." InuYasha said. Kagome looked at him. He looked straight into her eyes. She knew that he was telling the truth but she still was very angry with him.
"Fine just leave me alone." Kagome said almost like she was giving into Kikyo.
'Why does it feel like I'm giving into Kikyo and letting her have InuYasha? Maybe it's because I am.' thought Kagome.
"Why are you leaving? Why have you come back here after you said that you would stay?" InuYasha asked.
"I have an exam tomorrow that I need to study for and I need to think about few things." replied Kagome.
"Is it okay if I stay with you tonight?" InuYasha asked.
"Why would you want to stay tonight?" Kagome asked.
"Just to be with you. I miss you when you're gone." InuYasha said in reply.
"Oh, okay. I don't have a problem with it and I'm sure my mom won't either." Kagome said.
"Great." InuYasha said with lots of enthusiasm. Kagome started for the door when InuYasha caught up with her and grabbed her hand. Kagome looked up at InuYasha to see him smiling at her. Then her mom walked in from the gate.
"Oh Kagome, you're home, hi InuYasha. Will you be staying longer Kagome?" asked Kagome's mother.
"Yes mom. InuYasha will also be staying tonight." Kagome said.
"That's alright. Kagome I have something for InuYasha." Kagome's mother said.
"Okay. I'm going to take a nap before I do anything." Kagome said.
"You don't normally take a nap." InuYasha said.
"I do when I come home. I am normally very tired after coming back and forth through the well and fighting demons all the time." Kagome said, irritated. Then Kagome walked off towards the house.
"What happen to make her like this?" Kagome's mom asked InuYasha.
"It's a long story." replied InuYasha.
"I have plenty of time and I'm sure you do too." Kagome's mom said. InuYasha nodded his head and sat down on a bench that Kagome's mom sat down n. He told the whole story of what had happen that day and even a few days before. InuYasha did not leave out any details, which was very hard for him to say to her mother.
"So Kagome is upset about you and Kikyo? Why?" Kagome's mom asked.
"Because I had told her earlier that...I loved her and she had witnessed Kikyo kissing me." InuYasha replied. InuYasha looked up at Kagome's mother and saw a smile across her face.
"What are you smiling about?" InuYasha asked.
"Oh nothing, we better get in before someone worries about us." Kagome's mother said. InuYasha just nodded. He followed Kagome's mother into the house. InuYasha smelled Kagome all over the house. He liked the smell.
'I can't believe that he would do that and right after he said that he loved me.' Kagome thought. She was trying to go to sleep but she couldn't at the moment. Then there was a knock at her bedroom door. When she gave no answer InuYasha came in.
"Kagome I need to talk to you." said InuYasha.
"I'm sorry for ever saying anything." Kagome blurted out as she sat up. InuYasha was astounded. 'Is she still upset about what happened earlier? I thought we have gotten over that already.' thought InuYasha.
"Kagome would you drop that now! I came in here to do something I thought that would totally prove my love for you." InuYasha said.
"What?" asked Kagome. InuYasha walked over and leaned over Kagome. He looked into her eyes. Then he put his lips to hers. A look of sheer astonishment went across Kagome's face. Then InuYasha gently pushed Kagome to the bed and the kiss that had started so simple became very passionate. InuYasha had both his hands on either side of Kagome's shoulders. When InuYasha felt as though he had made his point he stopped and sat up a little more.
"So did I make my point?" asked. InuYasha.
"So that was just to make a point and nothing else?" Kagome asked quietly.
"No! I've wanted to do that for a long time now. I just thought today was a good day to try." InuYasha said. Kagome just looked at InuYasha with a look of shock.
"Kagome I've told you already that I love you. I have loved you basically since we first met." InuYasha said.
"I'm sorry InuYasha but this time I don't know if I could or should give you another chance. I have already given you plenty of chances to change. Why did you pick today of all days to say this?" Kagome replied.
"Because I finally knew how you felt about me." InuYasha said. InuYasha could tell that Kagome was at a lost in what she was going to say. So he said something instead.
"You might want to study for that exam. I will bring up you dinner when it is ready. Kagome, I was wondering if we could go for a walk after you're done studying." InuYasha asked.
"Yeah, thank you InuYasha." Kagome replied. InuYasha then left the room and went down stairs.
"I wonder how long it will take this time." Shippo asked.
"I don't know. InuYasha is also missing." Miroku said.
"Do you think that he went after Kagome?" Sango asked.
"Most likely," Shippo replied. "He loves her, even though he won't tell her so."
"Shippo, Kagome looked confused. I have a feeling that InuYasha said something." Sango said.
"Really?" Shippo asked.
"Yeah." Miroku replied.
"Do you know something that we don't, Miroku?" Sango asked.
"No I don't! I was just saying that I saw the same look." Miroku said.
"Right, whatever you say Miroku." Shippo said.
"Why is that everything I say not believed by any of you?" Miroku asked.
"Because you normally know things that we don't, or at least have a guess." replied Sango.
"But I did guess," Miroku said. "I wish InuYasha was here."
"Miroku, do you have anymore guesses to where Kagome and InuYasha might be?" Shippo asked.
"Yeah, Kagome might have gone home and InuYasha might have followed." said Miroku.
"That's it?! I could have guessed that too," Sango said. "I hope Kagome is alright. InuYasha better be nice too."
'If he does something that hurts Kagome he will pay. He needs to learn that Kagome doesn't have to give him another chance.' thought Sango.
Kagome was finally done studying and eating dinner. She then remembered that her mom had said that she had something for InuYasha. She decided to go find out what it was.
"Hey mom, you said earlier that you had something for InuYasha. What was it?" Kagome questioned.
"InuYasha is trying them on right now. I got him regular clothes. He asked me to get him some so when you guys go out to wherever when it is the new moon he won't look weird. I got him some clothes that I thought matched him." Kagome's mother said.
"Thanks mom. I really appreciate that." Kagome replied. Then Kagome's mom looked behind Kagome.
"I will let you guys be alone." Kagome's mom said. Then she left InuYasha and Kagome alone.
"Kagome, look at me. Please?" InuYasha asked. Kagome turned around to see InuYasha. She didn't realize that her face was a laughable sight. Her eyes were wide open and her mouth was open.
"So how do you like it? Your mom and Sota picked out everything." InuYasha asked. All Kagome could do was stand there. Finally Kagome found her voice after two minutes of silence.
"You look awesome InuYasha. There is one thing that she forgot though." said Kagome.
