Confessions from the Heart – Chapter One

Kagome couldn't help but look down at him. The way the sun hit him made his eyes glimmer, and his silver hair laid almost perfectly behind him. He looked so eased and calm. He is so hot. Inuyasha noticed a shadow and then looked up to see the girl who stood inches away from him. She looks to good to be true, almost perfect. She was wearing her usual outfit; a small skirt that dangled on her upper legs and a white top. Her hair blew swiftly in front of her face. That's when Inuyasha noticed outstanding blue orbs that took the place of her eyes. They both got lost into each other's gaze. For that moment they were stuck in their own world together, and it seemed no one could break the bond between them. Kagome finally noticed she was staring so deep into him and she blushed, quickly turning her head over so she was now facing the ground. Was that a look of affection he was giving me, or am I imagining it? No, it couldn't be... could Inuyasha have stronger feelings for me?

Inuyasha got up from his resting place and stood so he was face to face with Kagome. She still had a hint of red on her face and she looked like she was in deep thought. Kagome still felt calm but that was soon interrupted when Inuyasha spoke up.

"What are you looking at?!" He said in his usual pissed off voice.

"I had some tests and exams… I wanted to come back yesterday but I couldn't… I had too much make-up work to do. Please don't be mad. I'm sorry."

"Excuses, excuses, Kagome! I think you spend too much time here. We should be out looking for the jewel shards but instead you're always here, bitch!"

What am I saying? I should be nicer to her. I missed her so much…

"I do not!"

"You do too!"

"I do not!"

Kagome was getting very upset. She had been looking forward to seeing Inuyasha… he is all she thinks about, even in her own time era. Despite all this, it seemed like he hadn't missed her at all. Can't he even be a little nice to me…? Kagome let out a sad sigh. Then she focused on Inuyasha again.

"Well come on, Kagome. Don't just stand there, lets get back."

Yeah, I missed you too… Kagome thought as she bent down to pick up her bag.

"Are you coming or what?!"

"Hold on one second!" Kagome ran over to Inuyasha and they both jumped through the sacred well.

Inuyasha was the first to get through. He lifted his weight up and out of the well and then gazed down to see Kagome. He offered her his hand and she grasped it and helped her up. When she was out and standing, Inuyasha released his hand from hers. Kagome yawned as she set her bag down on the moist ground, still tired from the morning.

"Hey, Inuyasha…"

"Yeah?"

"Where are Sango, Miroku, and Shippo?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know, bitch?"

Kagome turned to Inuyasha and looked him right in the eye. He could see the anger that was boiling her blood and building up. Here we go again… I know she's going to scream.

"You know what Inuyasha? I thought you would be happy to see me! But NO, you always give me such an attitude! You're always calling me names! Can't you even be a bit serious?"

He started to say, "Maybe if someone wasn't late on returning -" but she interrupted him.

"I already told you that I had tests and schoolwork. I have a separate life other than this one, and I can't always be here you know. Since when do you even care if I'm here or not? You're always being a jerk anyways!"

"Whatever."

"Hey, you two!"

Kagome and Inuyasha stopped arguing and looked to see their friends coming. Kagome ran over to Sango, glad that she could finally get away from Inuyasha.

"Hey, Kagome, you're back!" Sango said cheerfully, but his face dimmed to a frown as he said, "What's with the sad face?"

Inuyasha, that's what. Kagome thought bitterly.

"Oh, it's nothing!" Kagome said, putting a huge fake smile on her face.

"Okay, if you're sure."

Shippo and Miroku left Sango and Kagome to talk, and went over to a grumpy Inuyasha.

"Hey Inuyasha."

"Uh, hi."

"Is there something wrong, Inuyasha? You seem a bit tense," Miroku said.

"ITS NOTHING, OK? SO BACK OFF!"

"Gees, now we know that there's something wrong," Shippo said under his breath.

"I heard that!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Okay, okay, no need to get worked up. Let's get going. Lunch should be ready soon," Miroku said in a calm voice.
