Chapter 2 -- Realizing
The morning sun soon started to rise. Only one person stirred in the hut as the sun blinded the faces with dawn's light. Openning her eyes, Kagome noticed that Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were still sound asleep. The only person that was not around was Inuyasha. Kagome was not sure if he came inside last night. She wasn't even sure if he was still mad with her. Wrapping in her blanket, she headed to the door.
The sun was bright as Kagome stepped outside. Looking around from ground to tree, she noticed Inuyasha sitting up on a branch. His eyes were shut and he looked as if he was sound asleep just as the rest. Kagome sighed heavily before returning inside. She placed her blanket around Shippo and then headed outside. Since no one was awake yet, she decided to use the hot spring for a quick bath.
Walking out into the forest, Kagome never noticed that oone person was watching. The pool felt warm as she dipped in. She needed this for begin covered in dirt. Memories flashed through her mind as she remember the night Inuyasha and Kikyou were together and how Inuyasha reacted just the other day. A single tear ran down her face and splashed in the water.
Back at the old hut, Sango was soon starting to get up. She noticed Kagome was missing. Nothing seemed odd. Sango just thought she went outside. Walking to the door, she noticed how warm the sun was. It felt good over her cool cheeks.
"Morning, Sango." said a voice from behind her. Miroku appeared from a corner and had approached her. "I see that Kagome is no where to be found. Did she return to her time again?"
"I don't think so. Her bag is still here." replied Sango before walking completely outside into the warm sun.
Kagome soon appeared above the water. She been at the pool long enough and everyone should be all awake. Stepping out, she grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her. The bath felt good.
Kagome quickly grabbed her clothing. A bigh rock was position at the edge of the pool. It was a perfect place for her to get dress at. Walking around, a suprisement came and loud scream was heard through the forest.
Inuyasha quickly sat up and looked towards the direction of the forest. Sango and Miroku both looked up, but never moved. Inuyasha, however, was jumping from tree limb to tree linb to the sound. He knew it was Kagome, but what happen. Was she hurt? Was she dead? All those questions roamed through his mind as he thought about the scream.
Inuyasha soon made it to the hot spring. Jumping down onto the ground and running around the bolder, he came faced to face with a youkai. Kagome was alive, but scared. She was still wrapped in her towel, but cuts were along her face and leg. Inuyasha quickly drew his sword and killed the demon.
Putting his sword away, he dropped down beside Kagome. She was unconscience. Lifting her head up, he tried splashing water on her face. Soon, she started to cough. A little blood came out, but he whipped it away with his claw.
After a few seconds, deep brown eyes started to appear. Kagome could only see blur when she looked up. Not recgonizing who had her, she pushed away falling to the ground. Tears started to roll down her cheek. Inuyasha realized she was scared. Crawling towards her, he placed his arm around her. "Shhhh. I am right here." He kept saying.
Kagome kept blinking her eyes. The tears were starting to clear her eyes. Looking down at the ground, she noticed something red dangling around her. She realized that Inuyasha was holding her. How could he be here when she was mean to him?
Pushing him away, she stood up and ran the other direction away from the hut. Inuyasha sat there bewildered on why she ran. Something must of made her mad, but what. For this question, there seemed many reasons, but were they the correct one. Inuyasha knew one thing, however, with a demon attacking her, he couldn't let her run into the forest by herself. Standing up, he headed in the direction she ran.
Kagome kept running. She wanted to get away from him. He could of left her. Why did he have to return? Kagome kept running. Without watching where she was going, she tripped over a rock and came crashing down. Her clothing went flying out her hands as she landed hard on the ground. Tears started to roll down her face harder as she thought about everything.
Inuyasha continued to walk towards the direction Kagome went. He could smell the tears that were rolling down her face, but soon he started to smell blood. Gathering up speed, he headed towards the direction. Arriving, he noticed Kagome laying on the ground. Inuyasha quickly ran up to her and rolled her over. "You need to be more careful." he said before standing up and grabbing her clothing.
Kagome looked up into the clear sky that was showing partially through the trees as he moved around. "Why did you come to get me?" she asked as a tear ran down her cheek.
"I couldn't let you die. Now, here. Get dress so we can head back." said Inuyasha handing her clothing and turning away.
Kagome stood up and hid behind a tree. Before long she came out fully dress. She wanted to stay with him, but something was telling her different. Instead, she turned towards the hut and ran. Inuyasha just sighed as he watch her run. He could smell, once again fresh tears rolling down her face and drifting into the wind. The reason, however, was unclear. Was it because of last night or the other night? He did not have answer to those questions
Miroku and Sango were both standing outside. Both were wondering if everything was okay. They didn't know if Kagome was in danger or what. Inuyasha just left without saying a word.
After twenty minutes or so, both Sango and Miroku saw Kagome running towards them. She didn't stop. Instead she went straight inside the hut and grabbed her back. Running back out, she ran the opposite direction towards the well.
Miroku and Sango starting going after her. A thump was heard as she dropped her bag into the well. Lifting one leg over, she was ready to jump in. "Kagome, wait." yelled Sango from behind.
"Why are you leaving us? Did something happen?" asked Miroku leaning of his staff to grab his breath.
"I can't stand being here. The way he reacted last night and now this morning. I just can't stand it. I might be back later. I am just not sure." With that, Kagome jumped in and disappeared from the Fuedal Era.
Inuyasha slowly walked back to the hut. Why she ran and why she was crying? Those were complicated questions that he didn't have answers for. He thought about it, but still could not find a reason or even a simple answer.
Arriving back at the hut, he noticed Miroku and Sango returning back from the direction of the well. Their heads were hanging low and Inuyasha realized she headed home. "I don't know what you did last night or this morning, but Kagome left." said Sango walking past him and sitting near the hut. Miroku did the same, but never said a word to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha had enough of this. Kagome was still mad at him. He thought that what happen last night cleared everything up. He must of been wrong. Walking away, he headed to the well. Looking down into the darkness, he jumped in.
Kagome was relaxing on her bed. A cool breeze was blowing through her window and drifting over her face. Stained tears could be seen. She was crying the whole time till she drifted to sleep.
Inuyasha jumped out of the well and slowly walked over to the front door of Kagome's house. He knew it was strange for him to not go through the well, but right now that wasn't on his mind. It was Kagome and her reaction. Knocking on the door, Kagome's mother answered. "Well, hello Inuyasha." she said.
"Is Kagome here? I need to talk with her." replied Inuyasha stepping inside and sitting near a wall.
"She is upstairs sleeping." said Kagome's mother before returning to the kitchen.
"When will she be up?" he asked right away.
Kagome's mother appeared around the corner holding a dish towel in her hand. A worried look was on her face. "I actually don't know. When she arrived, she threw her bag into the corner." Inuyasha could see some of her things falling out of her bag. "She quickly ran up the stairs and slammed the door shut. She hasn't moved yet."
'I wonder why she is so upset.' thought Inuyasha as he looked up the stair. Once again, he thought of the reason, but then again those reasons had no answer. He sighed at the thought of them all.
Kagome's mother disappeared around the corner and Inuyasha took this as his chance. Standing up, he walked up the stairs and stopped at the door. Silence was all he could here.
Turning the door, he opened to a sweet smell. Kagome was laying sound asleep upon her bed. He shooked his head as he sat against the wall. All he could do now was wait.
Hours went by as Kagome slept. Soon when late afternoon came around, she started to awake. Looking around, she noticed she wasn't alone. Standing up quietly, she walked towards her door and ran down the stairs. Inuyasha wasn't a sleep. He just wanted to see her reaction.
Standing up, he jumped out of the window and landed right before the door. Kagome wasn't watching where she was running and ran straight into his chest. "We need to talk." he said before picking her up in his arms and jumping into a tree.
Kagome tried to say "sit", but they were already in a tree before the words got out. "You are probably still mad at me from last night. I don't know why?" Inuyasha started.
Kagome looked away towards the clouds and birds that were flying towards the horizon. "Put me down, please." Kagome whispered.
"Not till we talk. Explain. Why are you mad at me?" he asked turning her to face him.
Kagome saw calmness in his eyes. She remembered it from yestereday morning. He was like this, but then became his old self. "I don't need to explain myself. You were the one who was rude."
Kagome took one of the sides branches and started to climb down. She was scared, but wanted away. Inuyasha watched her climb down. He never moved from his spot. He watched as she ran towards the house never looking back.
Inuyasha gave up. He jumped down and headed back to the well. His realization was all he needed. Jumping in the well, he bid good-bye to Kagome.
