Chapter 7 : Hating It
Back to InuYasha, Kagome thought, I miss him. It hasn't even been a day...and this longing for him is overwhelming. Ugh, it was actually sort of sickening. But Kagome was trying not to think of how pathetic it was, she was trying to be positive . Although there really wasn't anything "positive" in the equation. Was there? Could she just not see it because she was lovesick and filled with such negativity? But she'd always been positive...then the Well made it's presence known, and she was suddenly changed. For better or for worse, she couldn't tell.
She was happier though. Until reality settled in and she knew InuYasha didn't like her in the way Kagome wanted so badly.
She sighed. Then she realized that she was doing exactly what made her come back in the first place. But...it's so hard not to think of him. And when all you ever do is think of him, what is it like when that one day, you suddenly don't think of him? Do you feel empty inside? Like a part of you is missing?
"Kagome, would you like to leave?"
She looked at Houjo, "Huh?"
"You're really out of it, so would you like to go somewhere else?"
Her 3 friends listened intently.
"Sure" Kagome replied.
"We'll stay here...you two have fun!" They squealed.
What?!
"Uh...o...kay..."
She could practically hear her friends thoughts. So she heard lots of squealing.
She glanced up at Houjo, who was standing there looking down at her expectantly. Then he held out a hand.
Don't just stare at it, you fool. Try holding it...
She didn't want to. Ugh, did she ever not want to hold his hand. But she did. Not because she liked it, because she, SO, did not like one freaking ounce of it. But she did it because she was too polite and kind.
Kagome was led out of Rapturous by Houjo, still hand-in-hand. Once again it felt strange, almost forced. But she continued to do it anyway.
As they stepped out into the non-Rapturous world, Kagome's face was lit up by the streetlights, neon store sign, and by the moonlight. She was filled with the rustling sounds of cars rolling past, and the chatter on the street. She glanced down at herself, and honestly didn't know why she had compromised herself like this. All just to get her mind off of InuYasha, which by the way, did NOT work at all
