Perfect Day

Chapter 2

Kagome stormed off through the forest. She couldn't ever remember being so angry about anything. Just what happened to make him act like this? He was acting like he used to…like a big jerk. But it was somehow worse than before. Back during their adventures, he may have gotten angry and crushed her heart more than a few times, but he always put it back together again. But even when he got her mad enough to go home, she always had a spark of hope that he'd come back for her like he always did.

Of course, back then he at least had a good reason for being angry. She remembered the argument they had after the Koga incident. He may have seemed like a senseless jerk to her at the time, but she could see why he got so angry. And the recent fight had made its way back to that one. She couldn't blame Inu-Yasha for being jealous back then, after all, she was jealous of Kikyo. But now, after she'd confessed her love for him time and time again, he still seemed to think she liked Koga. Back then there had always been a hope that he'd come for her—he always did—but now she wasn't so sure. He'd never just burst out at her like that for no reason at all, but he'd never seemed so sure that he wanted her gone forever, either. As much as she wanted to stay by his side forever, she decided that no matter how much she loved him, she couldn't live with him when he was like this.

So it was with a heavy heart that Kagome made her way back to the well, too upset to even say good-bye to the rest of her friends. She took a good look around, fearing that this may actually be the last time she ever went through the well.

'Well, there's no use prolonging this,' she thought to herself and quickly jumped into the well, Never to return.

! Later at Kagome's House… !

"Kagome, are you alright in there? You've been in the tub for more than three hours!" Kagome's mom stated on the other side of the bathroom door.

"I'm fine, mother. Now please, just leave me alone."

"Well, ok, but are you sure you're alright?"

"YES!"

Indeed, Kagome had been sitting in the bathtub for three hours. She had a usually very affective cure for depression, but it wasn't working at all this time. She had tried every relaxing thing you can do while taking a bath—put auromatherapy bath salts in; put bubbles in the water; refilled the tub with steaming hot water more than ten times, making the room more like a sauna; washed her hair at least thirty times; and yet the water still hadn't washed away her pain like it usually did.

'Oh well,' she thought. 'I may as well get out since I don't think turning myself into a raisin will help me much.'

She got dressed in her favorite pajamas and threw her robe on over it while making her way down stairs. She went straight into the kitchen and got a large spoon and a gallon of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream (A/N: man that stuff rox!). Then she made her way into the living room to watch U The Titanic /U , one of the saddest movies she'd ever seen. If a bath didn't work, maybe trying to convince herself that there were people in the world with bigger problems than her would help, though she doubted anyone could feel as depressed as she did at the moment. But as the title came on, she tried concentrating on the movie instead of her sorrow.

Mrs. Higurashi (s/p?) had, of course, noticed her daughter's strange and unusual behavior. Knowing Kagome, she probably had another fight with Inu-Yasha…though she'd never been this depressed after a fight before. 'But,' she decided, 'Kagome would never tell me about it if I asked her. She'll come around and hopefully tell somebody, even if it's not me.' And with that, Mrs. Higurashi headed up to bed.

A/N: I know this chappie is short, too, and I know I promised a longer one, but it's 10:30 and I gotta get up for school in the morning so my dad is literally about ready to pull me off the computer. Dang I hate when he does that, I mean it's not like I won't get up…but oh well, what can a poor girl do? Anyways, because of this, I had to cut this chapter in half. But that means that tomorrow, you get the other half and another full one! So be happy and review anyways! : )
