Author's Note: Hello again! Ppl who reviewed appreciated! You guys are sooooo nice! I got pretty a pretty good num of reviews now! And it's for my first Inuyasha story! Sadly, I've had two unsuccessful stories of CCS and that's why I'm hoping you guys will read and review my next one! Okay! Chapter 6!
Chapter 6- Celebration and a DiscoveryEveryone was now in the house of Kaede. They all wanted to know why Kagome's stone had shattered already.
"Yes! Why didn't ours shatter?!" Sango replied angrily smashing her fist on the ground.
"Sango!" Kaede yelled. "Ye must calm down! Kagome has found what she has lacked. That is all! The stone will be recreated one day and belong to someone else until it shatters once again and so on. Kagome, can ye tell us what ye lacked?"
Kagome nodded and said, "I found out I lacked belief. I didn't think I could do anything until I knew I couldn't let that boy drown! If everyone would like, I know what everyone else lacks."
This scored everyone's intrest. Even Inuyasha. They looked at Kagome waiting for her to tell them what they lacked.
"Go on Kagome-chan!" Shippo exclaimed. He had already become great friends with Kagome. "Tell us! Please!"
"Well Shippo, you lack courage. Miroku lacks fault, Sango lacks trust, and last but not least, Inuyasha lacks love. And Minako, well, never mind…"
"Keh! Like I care!" Inuyasha shouted carelessly. Secretly, Inuyasha cared a lot. But the only thing going on in his mind right then, was how could he love when the only thing he had learned was hate? It was impossible.
Kagome saw right through Inuyasha's words. Inside she knew his was worried about his life and what he was going to do because he only knew hatred. Inuyasha silently stood up and left the house. Kagome thought some more. Every one else must be the same as him. Sango didn't know how to trust anyone because, the person she had trusted, had hurt her. At least now, she didn't have to worry about herself except for the fact where she couldn't get home. Now, Kagome also left the room.
Outside it was sunny and cheerful. No pressure or anything. Besides, she was getting a celebration tonight because she had saved a little boy. She needed a break anyway. Out of nowhere, there came a tornado. The tornado stopped and Kagome saw some kind of wolf demon. He stood there with is his left hand on his hip sniffing around.
The rest of the group stepped out of the house and saw this demon. Sango was getting ready her Hirigotsu while Shippo hid behind her leg. Kaede stopped Sango from throwing her giant bone.
"Can I help ye with something?" Kaede asked helpfully.
"Oh no. I just smelled something nice. That's all," the demon stated. "oh! How very rude of me my lady. You must be Lady Kaede. I'm sorry if I gave you a scare. I'm Kouga of the wolf demon tribe. Now where is that wonderful scent coming from…?"
He sniffed around some more. Kouga walked towards Kagome, then looked at her.
"Ah! So you're the one with the pretty scent! I'm Kouga! You are ma'am?" Kouga asked her politely.
Kagome blushed. Kouga was one polite, hot, cute, nice, attractive wolf demon. "I'm Kagome Higurashi. It's very nice to meet you Kouga!"
"You're a human! Oh, I don't mind humans. Mostly the cute ones like you! Just so ya know, I'm a demon. Not a half demon. Those things are asses!" Kouga told her.
Kagome knew Inuyasha was in a tree watching and listening but her words blurted out and she completely forgot about him. "Yeah! I agree! They're so stupid!" She looked up at Inuyasha and remembered what she just said. She covered her mouth. Kagome saw something she had never seen before on Inuyasha's face. There, he had a face that looked sad, and hurt at the same time.
Inuyasha jumped off of that tree far away looking as if he was about to cry. Kagome had seen this hot wolf demon and tried so hard to impress him that she forgot about Inuyasha.
"No! Inuyasha wait! I…" It was too late. He had already bounded off.
"Well Higurashi, I'm off. I'll see you another day!" Kouga turned into a tornado and sped off.
Kagome felt so horrible she didn't know what to say. The group was silent until Minako whispered something to Miroku. He nodded and then whispered to Sango and so on. They all left her alone with her thoughts.
'I'm so stupid. I was so blinded by Kouga's looks I completely forgot about how much I could hurt another person with just words. Stupid me! Stupid and shallow! BAKA BAKA BAKA ME!!! I mean, Kouga's cool and all, but he's not my type!' Kagome thought shaking her head. 'No! Kouga is not ever going to be with me! I guess, for me, it's just time to admit it… I-I think I'm in love with Inuyasha…'
Inuyasha couldn't explain what he felt. He thought Kagome actually cared about him. 'But I was wrong! She just like any other person or demon. They all hate me, they all do! I'm… a worthless hanyou like they say.'
"Inuyasha!" Kagome's sweet voice rang in Inuyasha's head like a bell. "Inuyasha!"
He looked down to the bottom of the tree he was sitting on. "What do you want wench!"
"I just wanted to say… Well, I'm sorry! You're right! I am a stupid wench!" Kagome called to him.
"What? You really think you're a wench?"
"Yes… I'm a stupid shallow wench…"
"No you're not. Stop saying that!"
"I am a shallow wench!"
"No you are not!"
"I AM!"
"ARE NOT!"
"SO AM!"
"ARE NOT!"
"W-w-w-w-wait! You don't think I'm a wench?"
Inuyasha blushed. "Y-yes I do…"
"Admit it Inuyasha! You don't think I'm a wench!" Kagome said trying to pull it out of him. Inside she was so happy! She knew now Inuyasha liked her. And she had fallen for him after only two months too. His heart covered in ice was now thawing.
"I will not admit anything!" Inuyasha covered up still blushing.
"Inuyasha loves me! Inuyasha loves me!" she sang skipping around the tree. Each time she sang love, she said it for a long time.
"Stop it!!!!" shouted the embarrassed Inuyasha.
"He still really loves me! He still really loves me!" she sang some more.
"I don't love you!"
"But you like me! But you like me!" Kagome sang.
"OKAY! OKAY! I ADMIT IT! I, INUYASHA, LIKES KAGOME HIGURASHI!!! OKAY? NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"
"Okay!" Kagome called to him and skipped off.
'She's so cute…" Inuyasha thought as Kagome left.
It was now night and everyone was at the celebration. Kagome felt like a princess in the feudal era. Some people served her that were happy to. And these people didn't look like servants, more like people who have volunteered to serve her. They must have been really grateful.
Miroku stared and stared and stared at Sango. Her eyes sparkled in the firelight. She looked like a goddess to Miroku. She seemed to bring happiness to his heart. Then he looked over to Minako. She looked bored and full of sorrow. For some reason, Miroku felt no connection with Minako while he felt he always wanted to be near Sango. Why was it? Was he falling in love with Sango? One question even he himself couldn't answer. One more question that everyone asks (Everyone always assumes of what they see in movies means love. They're actors. They don't really love the person in the movie unless they actually do love that person). The question is, how do you know if you love someone? People always say it's in your heart, but who is the woman who's really in my heart.
"Miroku? Are you okay?" Sango asked him curiously.
"Yeah…"
He gazed up at the sky. 'I do need to ask myself a question. Who does my heart desire the most?'
Author's Note: I'm sorry, but I don't need boys no more for my little character thing. I'm instead using only one person. SORRY!!! I'm using Dreamz in my story now. Most of you should know who she is if you go to our profile! In chapter 7, there will be some M&S action. No kissing and DEFINITELY no lemoning. Okay? To me lemoning is just SICK! So if you want lemoning, I suggest you read another story. Well, sorry about that… Ja ne! -
