Disclaimer: glaring at lawyers No, I do not own Inuyasha! Happy?
Just to let you know, ' ' are thoughts.
The alarm clock beeped once. Then twice and a tired hand reached over and threw against the wall. Kagome sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She quietly got up out of bed, so as not to wake Tim. It was still somewhat dark outside when she got dressed and took the dagger out from underneath her mattress. She pulled her black Metallica hoodie over her head and quietly left her room. As she walked down the hall, she stopped outside of Tim's room and held her breath to make sure that he was still asleep. 'Good' she thought as she heard him soundly snoring. She then tiptoed down the stairs out of the back door in the kitchen.
She stood outside in front of the Goshinboku in the cool morning air. A small breeze blew past, rustling a few leaves at her feet. Kagome looked up at the mark on the tree, where Inuyasha had once been held to. She lifted the dagger and gently placed it against the artery in her neck. She closed her eyes and drew a deep breath, ready to end it. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and began to slide the dagger, when it was knocked out of her hand. All she saw was a flash of red, and then darkness consumed her.
He looked at the girl that was now collapsed in his arms, and the dagger that now layed on the ground beside him. 'Why? Why would you want to do this, Kagome?' was all he could think. 'Why?'
Inuyasha picked her up and walked back to her house. He walked through the kitchen door but was stopped suddenly in the doorway.
Instead of the familiar scents of Kagome's mother, Souta, or the old man, a new smell covered the house. It was someone else's and the scent of a harsh liquor was mixed with it, everywhere. It made him sick. Perhaps he would need to take Kagome back through the well with him. And that's exactly what he did. But first, he stood outside the well house and looked at her. Seeing her again made his heart want to burst with joy, but he had not expected to see her like this. 'When Kagoem wakes up,' he thought as they passed through the well 'She has some explaining to do.'.
