Chapter 16: True or False?
For the rest of the night, Laura said nothing. She kept thinking about how Kikyo had smirked at her and it still sent chills up her spine. She shivered slightly.
Sesshoumaru was watching Laura, noticing her quietness. He looked towards Inuyasha who was gulping down his ramen like he was a dog. "Inuyasha, may I speak with you for a moment?"
Inuyasha looked up from his cup of ramen. "Me?"
"I don't know anybody else here with the name of Inuyasha besides you."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Fine." He stood and walked into the forest with Sesshoumaru following after him. "What is it?"
"Inuyasha, Kikyo's here. Laura went to find a hot spring and spoke with her. I then spoke with her. She said that she's still looking for you." Sesshoumaru explained quietly.
Inuyasha swallowed hard. "Still looking for me? Why won't she just leave me alone!"
"Because she still thinks that you killed her. She won't leave you alone until she gets vengeance or if you kill her."
Inuyasha nodded. "Right. Let's not say anything to anyone else about this. I don't want Kagome getting upset."
Sesshoumaru nodded in agreement. "Just be careful little brother." He turned on his heels and began to head back to camp.
Inuyasha sighed and followed after him. Suddenly a whisper hit his ears. "Inuyasha..." The voice called. Inuyasha turned around, looking around the forest. He shrugged and began to head back when he heard the voice again except it was louder. "Inuyasha...Come to me..." Inuyasha growled and took off into the forest. 'That voice is bugging me! Who is it?' He continued to follow the voice.
Sesshoumaru re-entered camp and took his seat beside Laura. He looked at the forest, waiting for Inuyasha to return.
"Sesshoumaru, where's Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
"He must've fallen behind me. He'll be back soon, I'm sure." He grinned at her and then stared into the fire.
Kagome looked into the forest. 'Inuyasha...' She slowly stood. "I'm gonna go look for him."
"But Kagome, it's way to dark. You might get lost." Sango stood up.
"I'll be fine. Just keep the fire going until I get back." Kagome began to walk off.
"Kagome..." Sango sighed. "I wonder what's wrong with her."
"Perhaps she feels she should go meet Inuyasha." Miroku suggested.
Laura watched Kagome go and then looked at Sesshoumaru. "Sesshoumaru, what if..." He put a finger to her lips. "Don't worry Laura. They'll come back fine." He assured her.
Kagome began to search the forest, looking for Inuyasha. 'Where could he have gone?' She finally came to a clearing with a waterfall. She looked around and spotted Inuyasha but also spotted Kikyo. Her stomach sank and her heart rate picked up. 'Oh no...' She ran behind a tree, watching the two. She couldn't hear what they were saying but she watched Inuyasha stare at Kikyo. Kikyo went up on tiptoe and kissed Inuyasha. Kagome's eyes filled with tears. 'How could he...' She turned and began to run back to camp, tears staining her cheek.
Inuyasha pushed Kikyo away. "Kikyo, leave me alone! I told you, I love Kagome."
Kikyo glared at him but then smiled. "Why can't you love me like you use to?"
He sighed. "Because I just can't. Kikyo, you'll always be in my heart but...you're part of my past. I have to move on and I love Kagome."
"You only love her because she looks just like me!" She shouted.
"That's not true! I love her because of her not because she looks like you!" He growled and began to walk away.
"Don't turn your back to me Inuyasha!" She yelled.
"I'll do what I please." He then took off into the forest, leaving Kikyo standing alone.
'I'll get you Inuyasha. You can be sure of that...' She smirked and then walked into the forest.
Inuyasha returned to camp and sighed. "Sorry, I got a little side tracked." He looked around. "Hey, where's Kagome?"
"She went back to the well to go back to her time." Sango said coldly.
"But why?" He looked confused.
"Oh you know why." Sango glared at him. "You just love to hurt Kagome, don't you Inuyasha?"
"What do you mean?!?! What's going on?!?!" He yelled.
"Oh nothing. You just ran off with Kikyo and then kissed her that's all!" She yelled back.
"You mean, Kagome saw Kikyo kiss me?" He swallowed hard, his heart sinking into the pit of his stomach.
"That's right. She saw you with Kikyo at the waterfall north of here. How could you say you love her and then go off with Kikyo?"
"That wasn't my fault! I heard someone calling my name and I followed it. It happened to be Kikyo and she wanted to talk. She kissed me but I pushed her away." He tried to explain.
Sango raised an eyebrow. "Do you expect Kagome to believe that? She's hurt Inuyasha because of what she saw. You have no proof that Kikyo kissed you and then you pushed her away."
"Yes he does." Rin popped out from the forest. "Rin watched that lady kiss Inu-chan. Rin saw Inuyasha push lady away and then run off. Kagome should not be sad. Rin don't like it when Kagome is sad."
Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow at her. "What are you doing up?"
"Rin couldn't sleep and followed Sesshoumaru-sama into the forest with Inu- chan. Rin watched and followed Inuyasha to that lady and saw everything." She explained as she smiled.
Inuyasha grinned. "See? Rin's my proof. She saw it all. Now Kagome can believe me!"
Sango sighed. "You'll have to go to her time though. She was pretty upset."
Laura looked at Sesshoumaru. "I knew it..." She whispered. Sesshoumaru pulled her closer.
Inuyasha sighed. "That's fine with me. Sesshoumaru, can I borrow Rin?"
Sesshoumaru nodded. "You better not let anything happen to her little brother."
Inuyasha bent down and picked her up. "Don't worry, she's in good hands." He then took off towards the well.
Laura watched Inuyasha leave. 'Please believe him Kagome...' She closed her eyes, leaning against Sesshoumaru.
Inuyasha ran quickly towards the well. Rin was in his arms, sleeping. He grinned but continued to run. He stopped for a short while, setting Rin down. He sat down himself and sighed. He kept replaying that moment with Kikyo kissing him. 'I don't want Kagome to be hurt. I wish Kikyo would just leave me alone...' He sighed and slowly stood. He picked Rin back up and began to run towards the well again. Hours later, he finally came to the well. He sighed and jumped into it with Rin. He landed in Kagome's time and jumped out of the well and up to her bedroom window. He knocked lightly. "Kagome, open up." He whispered. It was still night in Tokyo and he didn't want to wake her family.
Kagome lazily opened her eyes and yawned. She went to her window and opened it for air but soon realized Inuyasha was outside. She cracked her window. "What do you want?" She glared at him.
"Kagome listen, what happened in the forest isn't what it seemed. Rin watched the entire thing and she knows that Kikyo kissed me and then I pushed her away." Inuyasha tried to explain.
Kagome's eyes narrowed. "Do you expect me to believe that story?"
"It's true! I'll wake Rin up and prove it." He lightly began to shake Rin. "Rin, wake up. You have to tell Kagome what you saw."
Rin slowly opened her eyes and looked at Inuyasha and then at Kagome who was in her room. "What does Inu-chan want Rin to do?"
"Tell Kagome what you saw in the forest."
Rin yawned. "Rin saw Inuyasha with lady. Rin waited patiently, watching the lady. She then saw her kiss Inu-chan but Inu-chan pushed lady away. He said he did not love her but he love Kagome." She yawned again and then fell back asleep.
"Is that enough proof for ya?" He asked.
Kagome looked at Rin and then Inuyasha. She sighed and opened her window. "Set Rin on the bed. She'll sleep here tonight."
Inuyasha hopped into Kagome's room and set Rin on Kagome's bed. He then covered her and looked at Kagome. "Whether you believe me or not is up to you but I swear, I don't love Kikyo. I love you." He then jumped out of her room and ran back into the well shrine. He jumped into the well, disappearing into the feudal era.
Kagome watched him leave and sighed. 'What should I believe?' She looked at Rin and then curled back up into the bed with the little girl. She slowly closed her eyes, letting sleep take her over.
End.
