Chapter 14: Rage

InuYasha jumped out of the well and landed softly on the deep green grass. He looked around him, it was so serene. The greens, the butterflies, the pale sky...IT WAS MAJORLY FUCKING UGLY...

I'm...mad...? Why am I mad? Why am I acting so pissed off?

"InuYasha!!!!!!!!" Sango yelled, "you're back!!!!!!"

"Huh?" He turned to face her, "Oh, hey Sango"

She ran and actually hugged him, "I thought we lost both you and Kagome! I was so worried! I couldn't do anything but think of what endeavors you two could have been into!"

InuYasha was touched that Sango cared. It made him smile inside, but rage still overcame the glimmer of happiness.

"Well, I'm back now...so you can rest easy"

She let go of him, "Miroku is right there", she pointed beyond a tree, "He's been worried sick as well"

InuYasha walked away and went beyond the tree, not even stopping to say anything to the amorous monk. He didn't need a "welcome home" party. InuYasha looked out of the corner of his eye and saw Shippo.

Oh great...him.

"INUYASHA! YOU HAD US ALL SO WORRIED! WHERE IS KAGOME!? ISNT SHE WITH YOU?!!"

InuYasha clonked Shippo upside the head, "Wouldya shutup?!"

"Geez, in a bad mood aren't you?"

InuYasha growled, "Whaddya think?!"

Shippo made a frustrated groan and walked away. He mumbled things under his breath like, 'stupid InuYasha', 'he probably fought with Kagome over that stupid Kikyo again...', 'What an idiot'.

"I can hear you Shippo!" InuYasha yelled, shaking his fist.

"Oh! Oh! I know..." Shippo yelled back, now running away.

InuYasha sat there looking absolutely furious. Just when he thought things couldn't get weirder he picked up a conversation in the woods.

"You...hugged InuYasha..."

"Miroku! Don't tell me you're jealous! My god...I just hugged him...I was happy to see him back!"

Miroku didn't know why he was feeling so envious after the obviously friendly/concerned hug. That's all it was, no big deal.

"I know...I'm sorry Sango, I just, I don't know. Sorry again" He smiled a nervous smile.

InuYasha almost laughed. Miroku was jealous over him. Why the hell? At least InuYasha had reason to be his girl...uh...his...um...Kagome had kissed a guy. And it was that HoHo guy, who deserved to be slashed with his claws. True, she didn't actually kiss him back, and it was more of a forced kiss than anything, but the sight! It kept replaying...just like the one before...He couldn't stop thinking about her, and all the mistakes that had happened in the past couple days. So he came back, only to be in a horrible mood, and then to feel even more longing for Kagome. It figures.

He could be watching her again right now. He was so incredibly beyond stupid! But nooo, he just had to come back here for some Idiotic reason. It was dumb, the reason he gave himself that is, to leave present Japan, it was an excuse to get rid of the jealousy. But it seemed to be lingering here as well. InuYasha just couldn't escape from it today. Woo, today was not InuYasha's day. Definitely not. Well might as well...tell Miroku and Sango about Kagome.

InuYasha got up and walked into the forest. He crept up on the two of them who were doing nothing but sitting on the ground, not talking to one another.

"Hey, you guys, lets not try to be so social"

"InuYasha! What're you doing?" Miroku asked, looking up at him.

"Going back to Kagome's era"

"Why is that?" Sango then asked.

InuYasha for some reason felt his face turn hot, "Uh...to spy, I mean see her"

Miroku eyed InuYasha peculiarly, "You were gone for three whole days InuYasha. What have you and Kagome done?" He then winked.

"AH! WHAT?" His face burned again, "Nothing of that sort!"

Miroku nodded, "Mmmhhmm. Well then why go back?"

InuYasha was getting kind of sick of this interrogation, "Miroku...I just am okay? I'm going to visit her...again"

"Ah. You mean 'visit'" he asked while doing quotations with his fingers on the word visit.

"NO! I'm actually going to go say hi"

InuYasha swiftly ran to the well and jumped in before they could say anything else stupid to him. He heard them both shout 'InuYasha!!!' but he ignored them.
