Chapter Eleven: Tears and Fluffiness

Kagome collapsed on her ragged, dirty mattress after her hard days work of cleaning and polishing and doing all of Sango's chores.

"Talk about a hangover," said Kagome to herself, "How much sake did Sango drink? She should be up by now."

Kagome then got a little freaked out at why Sango wasn't awake even though it was already dark out. So, Kagome forced her sore body off the squeaky mattress and checked Sango's pulse only finding it to be normal.

'Odd,' Kagome thought, "Hey wait a minute!"

Kagome shook Sango forcefully and got an annoyed moan in return.

Kagome then removed the thin, old blanket covering Sango and pushed her out of her bed as Sango landed with a loud, 'THUD!'

Sango was immediately awakened from her peaceful sleep. She helped herself stand up from the support of her bed, "What the hell was that for?"

Kagome rolled her eyes, "Who cares? The point is you were awake this whole time and you didn't even get up to do your work! I was up the whole day cleaning and sweeping so you wouldn't get fired!" scolded Kagome.

Sango flinched at the tone of Kathy (Kagome)'s voice. She's never heard her talk that way, but it's not like Sango was very happy, either, "Well. At least I don't lie about my identity and run away from my problems!"

At that moment it seemed time had stopped. Kagome was frozen to the ground and Sango was to scared to speak in fear of what would happen if she did.

After a couple minutes of silence, Kagome said in a trembling, shaky voice, "Wh-What?"

"I said," Sango said in an almost equally shaky voice, "I said......................Kathy, I know your name isn't really Kathy. I know that you're really a princess who has run away from home. I know your real name is Kagome Higurashi. I know everything, Kagome."

Kagome didn't know what to say. She was absolutely speechless. The first thing that came to her mind was, 'How? Why? When? Who? Where?'

And that's exactly what she said before bursting into tears and blindly running out of the tension-filled room across the dimly lit hall way and into the now dark forest she would always visit when it was time for her break.

Kagome shivered and hugged herself because of the cold, clammy air. It was so cold that one could see their breath in the cold winter air.

'Why did I run away?' Kagome mentally asked herself.

Kagome sighed and thought to herself, 'I know what I just did, I've run away from my problems, again. Sango was right. I am a lying person who runs away from their problems.'

InuYasha (demon form) sat in the Sakura tree that looked over the forest. InuYasha was occupied in his thoughts.

'I guess it was a good thing Sessomaru and dad dragged me to the wedding,' InuYasha thought, 'I can't believe Sessomaru actually got married. But, who was that girl at the wedding? Why would she be there? Why was Sango there?'

InuYasha couldn't fall asleep because he couldn't stop thinking about 'that girl at the wedding' so he decided to go to the forest.

InuYasha sighed.

Then, something caught his attention.

It was a girl.

She wore a simple faded blue nightgown that made her look angelic and almost holy. Her raven tresses flowed in the light wind. The moon reflected on her giving her a pale and beautiful complexion. She hugged herself and shivered and tears seemed to slide down her cheek and glitter in the moonlight.

'That's no girl,' InuYasha thought, 'That's a goddess.'

InuYasha jumped off the Sakura tree and gracefully landed on the ground, moving a few feet closer to this so-called goddess.

InuYasha sniffed the air around the girl (or 'goddess') and smelled salty tears and sadness.

He then heard angelic singing coming from the 'goddess'.

"Just a day, just an, ordinary day Just tryin' to get by Just a boy, just an, ordinary boy but He was looking to the sky and

As he asked if I would come along I started to realize that everyday He finds just what he's lookin' for

And like a shooting star he shines, And he said

Take my hand Live while you can Don't you see your dreams Lie right in the palm of your hand

And as he spoke, He spoke, ordinary words Though they did not feel For I felt what I had not felt before

And you'd swear those words could heal As I looked up into those eyes His vision borrows mine

And I know he's no stranger For I feel I've held him For all of time, and he said

Take my hand, Live while you can Don't you see your dreams lie Right in the palm of your hand

Please come with me, See what I see Touch the stars for time will not flee Time will not flee, Can't you see?

Just a dream, just an, ordinary dream As I wake in bed And that boy, that ordinary boy

Was it all in my head? Didn't he ask if I would come along? It all seemed so real, But as I looked to the door

I saw that boy standing there with a deal, And he said

Take my hand, Live while you can Don't you see your dreams lie Right in the palm of your hand

Just a day, just an, ordinary day Just tryin' to get by Just a boy, just an, ordinary boy but,

He was looking to the sky...."

~*~*~*~

As Kagome sung one of the songs she had once heard a village girl sing when Kagome was a child, she had some odd feeling that someone was watching. But that only encouraged her to continue singing and sing her best.

After singing her song, she heard clapping from behind her.

She turned around and saw InuYasha.

~*~*~*~

InuYasha applauded and said in a crisp voice, "Not bad. Not bad at all. Bravo!"

He stepped closer to the silhouette of the source of the voice of the angelic voice, expecting to find a princess or duchess's daughter.

What he saw was a princess all right.

What he saw was Kagome.

InuYasha tried to keep cool because he knew Kagome knew it was he and that she was probably equally surprised. He didn't want to look bad so he just stood straight and tried not to stutter or talk in a shaky voice, "Wh-What are you doing here, Kagome?"

InuYasha was right. Kagome was equally surprised. Maybe even a tad more. But, Kagome didn't want to look stupid, either. So, she tried to keep cool.

"Oh, just walking around," Kagome said as convincing and casually as she could.

"In the middle of the night? In the forest?"

Kagome stupidly nodded, "Well," she began stubbornly, "Can't a girl go out in the forest in the middle of the night just because? Must she have a reason?"

InuYasha looked at Kagome strangely for a moment.

Kagome began to get self-conscious, "What? What is it?"

"Where have I heard that before?" InuYasha asked.

"Well I don't know. Maybe-" Kagome stopped mid-way in her sentence and remembered the wedding.

~*~*~ Flashback (of the wedding) ~*~*~

"Can't a girl go out in the rain? Must she have a reason?"

~*~*~ End Flashback (of wedding) ~*~*~

"Maybe what?" asked InuYasha, "Hello?" InuYasha said, waving his hand up and down in front of her face, "Earth to Kagome! Kagome!"

Kagome woke from her train of thoughts and blushed in embarrassment, "Sorry. Did you say something?"

InuYasha rolled his eyes. Then he noticed Kagome eyeing his rosary.

"Aren't women only supposed to wear necklaces? A little girly, don't you think?"

"Are you calling me gay?"

"What if I am?"

"Well," InuYasha didn't know what to say, "For your information the necklace looks perfectly fine on me and even if I wanted to take it off I couldn't. But I would never want to. My mother gave it to me."

InuYasha winced.

So did Kagome.

They both knew she was dead.

Kagome fingered her own necklace. The one with a pinkish jewel on it no bigger than a marble. Her father gave it to her. He father was dead. Kagome felt hot tears brim her eyes, but she blinked them away and stepped up to InuYasha.

InuYasha began to blush at the nearness of him and Kagome. InuYasha then felt something lift off his shoulders. He felt free all of a sudden. He felt as if he was free from a prison he had been sentenced to for an eternity.

InuYasha wondered why and saw a snickering Kagome sitting on the short post used to fence out people from stepping all over the flowers and plants.

"What are you laughing about?" asked InuYasha.

Kagome was toying with InuYasha's rosary beads.

InuYasha lifted an eyebrow, "How'd you-"

"-take of your necklace?" Kagome finished.

"Yeah......................?"

"It was easy. I just took it off. It isn't that hard, ya know."

"That's great and all, but you should really give it back now,"

"Make me!"

InuYasha stepped up to Kagome and tried to snatch the rosary from her only succeeding in pushing her into the flower bed and her pulling him down with her.

They both fell on top of each other into the flowerbed. They were so close their noses were only a few inches from each other.

They both blushed at the nearness of each other.

"G-get off m-me," said Kagome in an almost whisper.

"I-I can't. My foot is wrapped up in a damn vine!" InuYasha struggled to get free, only making it worse. InuYasha held himself on his elbows to keep from collapsing or falling on Kagome.

InuYasha stared at Kagome's soft, pink lips.

"Ya know, up close, you look kinda cute,"

This only caused them both to blush even harder.

"P-pervert........................"

Kagome lifted her head up a little and InuYasha bent his head down a bit and-
