AN: Hi people...Well I hope you're enjoying my first fan fiction so far! Well... here's the next chappie you guys have been waiting for and gomen ne for not updating in a while...
Ikuyo!!
Disclaimer: I, sadly do not own InuYasha or anything else I might use in this story...Oh well...
Kagome continued to kneel there, tears now flowing from her eyes, stinging her pale cheeks.
"W-why....why did everything have to go so wrong!?"
The sun had now set and the once golden sky had turned dark and was splashed with stars.
She had finally emptied herself of all her tears and got up to walk around.
"Nothing much on this island..."
She sighed and continued to explore. A few palm trees, a beach, and a small forest. She stopped as she came to a small clearing in the dense woods.
"Hmm? What's this?"
She approached the opening, walking towards it quickly due to her enormous curiosity.
Kneeling down, she peered inside.
"Oh, wow a cave."
For the first time, in a while, a small smile crept on to her face as she stood up. She ran back towards the beach she had washed up on and looked around.
"Come on....Its gotta be here..."
She then spotted a yellow blob sitting in the shallow water.
"There!"
She ran into the water and pulled the thing onto the shore. There she opened it and began to take various things out of it.
"My book bag! I'm so glad I had this thing with me at least."
What she pulled out from the bag was: a few pairs of clothes, a pair of shoes, a hairbrush, socks, sun tan lotion, sunglasses, a blanket, a photo album, and an empty golden locket.
"Hm, not much...But it'll do."
She put everything back inside the soggy back pack and dragged it to the cave she had found earlier.
She set the bag down outside the cave and crawled into it. It was very large inside, so she was able to stand up. All she saw was darkness, heard nothing, and all it smelled like was the fresh saltiness of the ocean.
'Need to start a fire' She thought, blindly looking around.
With no avail, she crawled out of the cave. It was pitch dark now, and she had no idea how to find the things she needed.
So she just wandered for a bit, picking up sticks, brush, and a few rocks. Now she headed back to the cave with the supplies she had found.
"What luck that I'd find anything around here in the dark..."
Kagome dropped the things she gathered, stuffed them in her back pack, and crawled into the cave again. Inside, she unpacked everything, felt around for the stuff she needed for the fire, and got to work starting one.
In a matter of minutes she had a small fire which she fed brush to make it bigger. In the dim light she spotted her belongings she had spread out on the floor and laid them out to dry. Now she had a fire, and a shelter. All she needed was food, fresh water, and a bed.
Too tired to find anything more to make her more comfortable, she lied down on the cold soft sand and went to sleep.
-Kagome's Dream-
She continued to run, farther and father away from him, but he soon caught up. His eyes a beautiful golden color, his fuzzy dog ears twitching as she yelled for him to leave her alone, and his long silver hair, swaying in the breeze that he created as he ran after her.
"No...Please...Leave me alone!!"
She soon tripped over something and went flying, soon to meet the ground, but her falling was soon stopped by his strong arms grabbing her gently and spinning her around in his arms.
"Kagome...Please, don't run from me...It isn't what you think!"
"It isn't what I think!? Then WHAT is it?! Please, I'm just dying to hear your excuse!"
He slowly loosened his grip on her, enough so she could get away from him, but as soon as she was about to turn and run, she gazed into those golden eyes of his and was taken back at what she saw in them. For as long as she'd known him, his eyes were always cold, dark, and empty.
This time, they were soft and filled with emotion, so much emotion. Sadness, anger, betrayal, and love. This was something she'd never seen from him, ever, and this is what stopped her from running.
"G-Gomen ne..." She whispered to him, her eyes filling with tears seeing him like this.
His grip on her tightened again and he pulled her into an embrace. His warm body against hers as she hugged him back. They stood there for awhile until the boy let go and turned around.
"Kagome...I-I-I'm in love with you."
At this she stepped back, and words wouldn't escape her lips. She was speechless.
"I......I....ve....y...o.."
"What?"
'M-my voice...' She thought, stepping back further.
"K-Kagome?"
She continued to step backwards, her eyes wide with fear. As she stepped back, the boy turned around and noticed her doing this so he drew near to her. By doing so, she stepped even further away from him, tears slowly trickling down her cheeks now.
"What's wrong?"
He took a step nearer and this time she turned around and started to run. She didn't get too far before she came to a cliff, but it was too late and she slipped off the cliff as she skidded to stop.
She whirled herself around in the air in time to see the boy kneeling at the edge of the cliff, his hand extended downward toward her, yelling her name. The last thing she saw before she disappeared into the darkness was his piercing golden eyes, staring at her, filled with worry, sadness, confusion, and many other emotions.
-End Dream-
She sat up, terrified, tears running down her cheeks. She was crying for this boy...like she knew him from somewhere...But where?
She looked towards the entrance to the cave, hoping to see something, but she didn't. All she saw was light from outside shining in.
Her fire had gone out but it was warm now, due to the weather on the island. Yawning, she stood up and squinted through the darkness looking for the photo album she had laid out the night before. She staggered over to the place where she had it last, plopped down on the sand, and picked it up.
She paged through it, looking at the pictures of her friends, her school, her family, and most of all, her home. This brought tears back to her eyes, but she fought them away, refusing to cry anymore. She quickly closed the book, put it down, and rose to her feet again. She was hungry and thirsty now, and she needed to find food and water, if she wanted to live past 16.
The day she was thrown overboard was the day of her 16th birthday, and it was supposed to be a day of joy, but it turned out to be hell for her.
So as she reminisced about how happy the day had been up until that evening, she went out in search of food and water. To her luck, she found a slightly brackish water stream, and some coconuts.
"Coconuts...Wow...How lucky."
She frowned at only finding coconuts, but it was better than nothing. To her surprise, they tasted better than others she had tried in Japan. There was enough food to last her for a few weeks, and she had found some bedding to make as a mattress, she had added her blanket as the cover to the bedding material. This cave was now her new home, for however long she would stay there for.
She also had enough brush and firewood to last her a long time, and her clothes were all dry now, along with her belongings.
This had made her happier than when she first washed up on the island. Yet, this was only the beginning for her.
Every night she went to sleep, she either saw the boy with long, raven black hair or the boy with long silver hair. She became very frustrated with not knowing who either one of them was, so she decided it was a sign, but what it was telling her, she had no clue.
Time had gone by for her and it was approaching her 17th birthday, which meant summer was nearing a close for her. She was aware that it was almost her birthday, because, inside the photo album was a little calendar, which she used to mark off each day that went by.
During the time on the island, she had stayed inside most of the time and only came out when she needed anything, heard a sound, or just wanted to watch the sunset.
That night, she crawled out of the cave a few minutes before the sunset and ran down to the beach to watch it. She sat down at the base of a palm tree and watched the golden sun disappear beyond the horizon. She sighed and looked up at the pink and purple clouds which slowly were losing their color since the sun had set moments earlier. The wind picked up a bit and she set her gaze back on the horizon, expecting to see something there. To her surprise, she did see something there. It wasn't clear enough for her to see yet, because it was so small, and she wasn't hallucinating. So she ran out into the dark water as far as she could go and stood there squinting at the small object on the horizon. From what she could make out, it was definitely a ship, a cruise ship at that because of the light that shone from it, and it was big.
She stood in the water for a few more minutes and then went back to the beach and positioned herself under the same palm tree she watched the sunset from. She waited for hours, napped only a few times, and soon dawn broke and the ship was so close she could read the name.
"The....Shikon....Princess...?"
She squinted to make sure she read the name correctly, which in turn she did. So in the early hours of the morning she continued to watch the progress of the ship, which all it did was sit there.
"So...Exciting..."
She managed to keep her eyes open just a little longer until she gave in and much needed sleep took over. No sooner did she fall asleep that activity was brewing on the ship. They lowered a life boat, two people climbed in, and the boat departed from the much bigger ship.
"Ya know, I still don't get why WE have to go "search the island for any signs of life" and then not even get a dam "good job" from anyone." One boy whined, throwing his hands up in disgust.
"Well, just think of it this way my dear friend, if we find the girl who's been missing for almost a year...We get the reward for finding her." The other one spoke, smiling greedily.
"Keh, you say that like we'll really find the dam girl on THIS island. We've searched every DAM island from here to the other side of the freakin' world for all I know!!" He belted back, glaring at the boy sitting next to him.
"Well, that would be impossible my friend, you see–"
"Ya know what?! I don't CARE...And I was being SARCASTIC!"
For the rest of the ride to the island, both were silent.
Kagome continued to sleep, despite the yelling the one boy was invoking. She stirred once but didn't wake as the two departed from the boat.
One boy directed the other to stay by the boat while he went to search, and it didn't take him long until he spotted Kagome resting under the palm tree. He quickly ran over to investigate.
He knelt down in front of her and stared at her for a few seconds before coming back to reality.
"Are you dead or alive? If you're dead, too bad and if you're alive, I don't really give a crap."
At this her eyes fluttered open and just stared at the boy in front of her for a minute until it registered in her mind.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
She pushed herself into the tree still screaming at the top of her lungs as the boy held his ears and started screaming back at her.
"SHUT THE HELL UP YA BITCH!!"
She stopped screaming and released the tree she was hugging. Yet she wasn't happy with him calling her that, when he just met her.
"What did you just call me?!"
"A bitch, gotta problem with that?!"
"Yea, I do!!!"
"Well, deal with it!!"
"NO!!"
"SHUT UP!!"
Finally fed up with the boy yelling at her she calmed down and stared at him. Studying his features to find he was identical to the boy in her dreams. Long, black, raven hair, those chocolate brown eyes with the hint of dark purple, and the clothes.
"Y-you're him...!?"
"WHAT are you talking about?!"
