Ch.2 Hurt Feelings

"What an idiot," said Shippou, "he should learn to be nicer to Kagome. After all, she's the one who cooks our food, heals Inuyasha's wounds, and she's the only one who can see the Shikon shards, and ouch!"

Inuyasha had hit Shippou on the head, like he usually does.

"Idiot," said Inuyasha, drenched in muddy water.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome said. Inuyasha braced himself for another dunk in the cold, dirty water. "You're the idiot!"

"Huh? Did I hear her right?" Inuyasha thought, relaxing just a little.

"What did you call me, wench?" Inuyasha exclaimed, growling as came closer to Kagome.

"I said 'YOU'RE AN IDIOT'!" Kagome exclaimed, getting angrier by the minute.

"You're nothing but a Shikon detector! You can't even fight your own battles!" Inuyasha exclaimed, heartlessly. Kagome took a step back, trying to register what Inuyasha just said to her.

"Inuyasha! You heartless moron!" Shippou, Miroku, and Sango all exclaimed in unison.

Kagome took in a deep breath, trying to choke back the tears. She turned around and yelled "INUYASHA! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI!" With that, Inuyasha fell face first into the mud five times, making a deep hole where he landed. Kagome got on her bike and began riding it in the direction of the Bone-eater's well. She raced through the trees, while her mind was racing even faster. She thought about the dream and how it could never become a reality, as long as Kikyou is still alive, and even then if Inuyasha would still love the already dead priestess. She thought about how immune Inuyasha was to other people's feelings, especially hers. Tears dripped down her face at the thought of losing Inuyasha to a dead girl, and of his disregard of her feelings.

Inuyasha was just recovering from five of Kagome's "sit" commands, when Sango hits him on the head with her Hiraikotsu.

"Kagome's right. You ARE an idiot," said Miroku, shaking his head in disgust.

"She started it!" Inuyasha yelled, pathetically (boy, does he need better comebacks).

"You don't get it do you?" Sango asked, angrily, "She said that she would stay with you, even though you're still hung up on Kikyou, and this is how you treat her? By calling her 'a Shikon detector'?"

"Yeah, what the hell's your problem today anyway?" Shippou asked, still rubbing the bump that Inuyasha left behind.

Inuyasha sat in the mud puddle, finally thinking about what he said to Kagome.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome jumped down the well and headed back to her own time.

"I'm home," she said, depressed as she walked into her house.

"You're home early," said Grandpa, "did something happen?" Kagome just sighed in response.

"Sis? Is everything alright? Where's Inuyasha? Didn't he come with you?" Souta asked, confused.

"Come now, Grandpa, Souta. It's time for dinner. Well, I bet you're tired, right, Kagome? Let me get a bath ready for you," said Mama, noticing Kagome's depressed expression.

"Thanks," Kagome said in a somber tone.

After the nice warm bath, Kagome let herself flop face first into the soft mattress.

"What's going on?" Kagome asked herself. "Inuyasha has called me things before, but nothing that really hurt, like today. I wonder what his problem is. **sigh** ," she said to herself as she drifted off to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I wonder if I hurt Kagome's feelings. Did I make her cry?" Inuyasha asked himself as he sat up on the branch of his favorite tree. "I don't want her to cry because of me. Maybe I did say something wrong," he thought. He replayed everything over in his head. He hadn't realized that he said such hurtful words. "Maybe I should go talk to her," he said to himself.

"Damn right, you should go talk to her," said Keade. Keade surprised Inuyasha and he fell out of the tree.

"What the hell do you want, hag?" Inuyasha said, grumbling.

"You should go apologize and bring her back. No matter how much you hate to admit it, you need Kagome, don't you?" She asked, smirking.

"Keh, I don't know what you're talking about," said Inuyasha, turning away from Keade, so she couldn't see him blushing.

"You know damn well what I'm talking about, hanyou," she said as she turned to walk into the village. Inuyasha glanced back, and as soon as Keade was gone, he left to go to Kagome's time, to bring her back.

He leapt from tree branch to tree branch, heading towards the Bone-eater's Well. "I hope she isn't still mad at me," he thought to himself, as he leapt into the well.

Inuyasha Leapt out of the well and silently went to Kagome's window. There, he saw Kagome sleeping soundly. He opened her window and crept inside. He slowly crept up to her bed and stared at her peaceful body.

"I wonder if she's dreaming about me, "he thought.

"Inu...ya...sha," Kagome said, still sleeping.

"I'm here," he whispered into her ear. "Osuwari," she said. At that, Inuyasha fell flat on her carpet.

"Why, you," said Inuyasha, as he got up from the ground with rug burns on his face and his ears twitching. He stared at the still sleeping Kagome and cooled down.

He noticed a little space on her bed, so he crept next her and whispered "I'm sorry," into her ear. Kagome stirred a little, but didn't wake up. Instead, she rolled over and hugged Inuyasha, then fell into another soundless slumber. Inuyasha, a little embarrassed, held Kagome in his arms and fell asleep beside her.

"I love you...Inuyasha," said Kagome, still dreaming. Inuyasha held her tighter, as if responding to her affection and they both fell into a sweet sleep.
