Chapter 12: Obvious
InuYasha didn't do a double take, he practically did a quadruple take as he stared into Erstwhile. There was a mental picture burned in his head, that he wanted to burn.
"That fucking HoHo! Who the hell does he think he is? Didn't Kagome tell that bastard off...last night no less?" he yelled, receiving some peculiar looks from bystanders, "Feh! What the hell are ya looking at?!"
The people quickly looked away from InuYasha. Who seemed very...agitated for the lack of a better word.
He sighed deeply. This was defeat. This was...heartbreak. Never had he felt like this...and he hated to say it...but not even when he thought Kikyo had betrayed him. This feeling he had...it seemed to go beyond jealousy. It seemed to go beyond caring. It seemed to be ruling his life.
It was like he felt this huge need to protect Kagome from everyone and everything. And as before, he never did quite admit what his problem was. Also as before, he tried to deny it. But, it was there. It was not going to leave.
InuYasha......loved Kagome. And not in a friendly way, though he thought they were great friends. InuYasha was IN love with Kagome. In a boyfriend and girlfriend way. It was blatantly clear now.
All the ways he felt with Kagome: calm, at ease, happy, content, almost giddy sometimes. The ways he felt without her: empty, lost, sad. This whole time, it was right in front of his face. And he couldn't accept it, he wouldn't let himself.
Now though, he was starting to like the feeling. It's not like he had anything to lose; he knew Kagome loved him, and in the "more than a friend" kind of way. That's not what had bothered InuYasha all this time, though. It was that he was used to what he was used to, and that was Kikyo. Sure, Kagome is the reincarnation of her, but they're completely different from each other.
At the same time, this extreme envy was making InuYasha feel sort of sick to his stomach. It was two days in a row he had seen HoHo try and succeed in kissing Kagome. He would leave...for a while. See if what he was thinking and feeling was real...maybe it was just this crazy place making him think of her. After all, that was the only reason he came: to watch Kagome. So his main reason was Kagome. Maybe being back in Feudal Times would help him realize his feelings.
So he walked stealthily to the Higurashi shrine and walked into the building that secreted the sacred well. And, although he didn't want to, he needed to, so he jumped into the well, and was soon back in the Sengoku Jidai
