CHAPTER 2: A Truce
"Sigh, I can't concentrate,I don't know why. Maybe I need some fresh air" Kagome said to herself. She walks down the stairs to find Souta playing a video game.
"Hey sis, what was with all the screaming earlier?" Souta said, bewilderly.
"Oh that, InuYasha snuck up on me, and scared me half to death. Hey Souta do you know where InuYasha ran off to?"
"Um not sure, I think he wnet outside, but I'm not sure"
"Okay, thanks Souta"
Kagome decided to walk about the ancient shrine looking for InuYasha, though she doesn't know why, theres just an urge to find him. During Kagome's search for InuYasha, InuYasha sits up in the Sacred Tree, and thinks about the past, and how Kagome looks so much like Kikyou. But Kagome is different, she doesn't care that he's a half-demon, or that how he treats her. Maybe she does mind a little, but she's been there for him. Below InuYasha, Kagome is looking at him, with this smile on her face. He senses something and looks down, its her. Neither one, sure what to do, so Kagome starts.
" InuYasha?"
"Yeah" wanting to talk.
"I'm sorry about what happened awhile ago, you just scared me" Kagome said.
Silence,between the half-demon and the girl. The two seemed to be frozen in that fragment of time, not wanting it to stop. InuYasha starts to get antzy, knowing he's showed to much of emotion to her, and replies with "So.....what is there to do here, in your world?"
"Uhhh, well you can't just walk around the place like a normal person! Remember, you don't even exist, in my world, but I could probably take you out when its dark."
".......hmmm, well okay" he said quietly.
"InuYasha why don't you come down from there, and we'll go eat" Kagome said urging him to get down from the tree.
InuYasha, quickly jumps from the tree right next to Kagome. The two went back to the house to eat, finding that Kagome's mom had return from a day of work. Already Kagome's mom was starting to cook dinner. The food smelled heavenly to InuYasha, his nose in the air, smelling the delicious aroma of food. Kagome was looking at him, laughing to herself, on how cute InuYasha looked sniffing the aroma of the food. But then InuYasha looked at Kagome, biwildered by the expression on her face, as though she was amused by his actions, he gives her a quick glare. Kagome notices the amber eyes staring at her, and quickly changes her expression her face, trying not to blush. Kagome's mother sensed the tension, so she asked Kagome to help her with dinner. InuYasha decided to go and see what Souta was doing.
Souta was in the living room playing a video game, InuYasha comes in and is intrigued by what kind of game he is playing. Souta hears InuYasha come in, and asks " Do you wanna play?"
"Ummm....what kind of "game" is it?" Said the baffled InuYasha.
" You fight people, its really fun!!" Said Souta.
Only the expression on InuYasha's face told it all, that he was amazed of what Kagome's world had. He agreed to play with Souta. InuYasha had a little trouble, the controler that you play the game with was being difficult, but after awhile InuYasha was getting the hang of it. The two played video games while Kagome was helping with dinner.
"So Kagome, why did InuYasha decide to come back with you?" said Kagome's mom, brighty.
" Oh probably because he had better to do in the fedual era, with me gone he can't really find the jewel shards, so he came back with me" Kagome said.
"Ahh I see, well maybe you can take him around to some places in town, but while its dark, so no one is freaking out about his apperance, though I must say those ears of his are absoulutely adorable!"
Nothing else was said between the mother and daughter, while they finished making dinner, Kagome's mom sent Kagome to get Souta, InuYasha, and Gramps. Kagome heard cheering from the livng room, and went to see what was going on. There was InuYasha dancing around, really unlike him, but Kagome found it so funny that she started laughing out loud. Obviously InuYasha didn't care, he was to busy sucking up the glory in beating Souta at the video game they were playing.
"Hey InuYasha and Souta, dinner's ready!" said Kagome.
" Okay!" said both InuYasha and Souta.
Souta ran ahead, ready for some food, while InuYasha and Kagome stayed behind.
" Well looks like you were having fun" said Kagome.
" Yeah, I'm really enjoying myself here" InuYasha said surprisingly happy.
" See now aren't you glad you came back with me?" said Kagome.
"....Yeah I guess" InuYasha said almost forgetting that he was sore at Kagome for leaving the fedual era. ' Well its not so bad here, its nice to get away from battling demons all the time' InuYasha thought to himself. Kagome and InuYasha arrived at the dinner table, with only Gramps staring at InuYasha, baffled that he was here.
" Kagome! Why is that dog demon here?!" Gramps said.
"Gramps! His name is InuYasha, so call him by his name!" Kagome said sounding offended at what her Gramps said.
All of them sat down for dinner, and ate happily, InuYasha really enjoyed the meal. Kagome decided maybe to get some studying in before she went to bed, tomorrow was Saturday, she prefered not to study on Saturday so she thought to herself ' I studied as much as possible tonight, so I can relax tomorrow.' After everyone was done, Kagome went up stairs to do exactly what she said she was going to do. InuYasha followed her upstairs to her bedroom. Obviously Kagome didn't mind, she went to studying while InuYasha sat on her bed, watching her in deep thought. ' She really looks like Kikyou, but......she's different. She doesn't care the I'm half-demon, and she freed me from that spell that bound me to that tree' for the first time, he was thanking Kagome for freeing him, maybe not verbally but in his mind. About two or three hours past, Kagome decided it was time to go to bed before she got a headache. She made it to her bed, to tired to remember that InuYasha was there. InuYasha had fallen asleep, Kagome just got into bed, she fell asleep very quick, but obviously neither one of them didn't relize that Kagome was craddled in InuYasha's arms. Both of them stayed like that for the rest of the night.
"Sigh, I can't concentrate,I don't know why. Maybe I need some fresh air" Kagome said to herself. She walks down the stairs to find Souta playing a video game.
