Last Straw
Desert Wolf
Summary: Inuyasha chose Kikyo. Kagome decides to look for the shards by herself. Shippo hears her leaving and demands to come, not wanting to be alone again. They leave when everyone is asleep, hoping to not be noticed until they have a good head start. Their plea is granted, but they soon meet up with someone they know all to well.
Pairing: Most likely Kouga/Kagome, but could be Sess/Kagome if enough people want it.
A/N: Hello! This is my first fic. I'm happy that I'm finally posting something. I realize some people may not read this because of the pairing, but don't blame me, blame the fire-breathing plot dragon and a Kag/Kou shipping muse. I hope you enjoy this. I can take constructive criticism, but don't flame. I'll just use it to make tea. The water I don't use will be poured down flamers shirts. I'm fairly certain we have some old Barney tapes here, along with some duct tape and a chair that is nearly impossible to move. Oh yeah, this will be mostly in Kag's POV.
~* Kag POV *~
' It's so peaceful here. It's no wonder I always feel happier here. It's so noisy and chaotic in my time. Maybe I should just stay here for the most part. After all, I'm nearly failing school and it's not like there is much there that matters to me. I would only miss my family if I stayed. Should I.'
I shook my head and turned my attention back to the ramen I was cooking. I had thought about this frequently. I had always thought about my future, what I wanted to be, where I wanted to go, the places I wanted to see. Now the way my future would be is coming soon. The decisions I make now will affect everything.
If I left after the jewel was completed, I would go to college, get a job, and forget about my abilities. I would marry and have children, probably living in the shrine. I would forget about everything, only to tell the story of my adventure to my grandchildren when I am old and feeble.
If I stayed I would become a miko and protect the shikon jewel. I would raise Shippo in Kaede's village. I may see my family occasionally. I would see Sango and Miroku's children (it was obvious they loved each other, I hoped they would admit it soon). I might even find love and have my own children.
I was shaken out of my thoughts when I sensed Inuyasha returning. It had become a frequent occurrence lately. I sometimes wondered where he went, but I respected his privacy and didn't ask. He probably just wanted some alone time.
I looked around the camp at my companions. Shippo was playing with Kirara not very far from me. I couldn't help but smile at their antics. Sango was tending to her boomerang, an eye on Miroku, who was seemingly meditating under a nearby tree. Sometimes I wondered what he thought he was accomplishing by constantly groping Sango. It certainly didn't improve their relationship any; all it achieved was another injury for him and an angry Sango.
Inuyasha was nearly here. Just in time too, the food was nearly done. I heard rustling in the bushes that stated that he would appear shortly. I was right, I could see him now, but there was someone with him. Someone I really didn't want to see.
The sounds of everyone else stopped as all of us were in shock from his companion. Just as they were going to voice their complaints, he interrupted.
" Kikyo is going to be traveling with us from now on. So if you have any complaints you can either suck it up or leave," the mutt said.
The hostility was nearly tangent to me. I knew all of us were angry. I was too. I turned my attention back to our food, putting it in bowls and passing it out. The meal passed in silence. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and myself all fuming. The hanyou glared at us, daring us to complain. The corpse seemed unaware, or undisturbed by the hostility towards her. After the meal Sango suggested we bathe before we rest for the night. Gathering our bathing items we left, not bothering to tell Miroku to stay there, we knew he wouldn't try to follow.
The trip to the hot springs was passed in silence. As soon as we arrived, we shed our clothes and entered the warm waters. The warmth was soothing, just what I needed right now.
" Kagome, are you alright? I know you had feelings for Inuyasha," the demon exterminator asked.
"I am angry Sango. You know that Kikyo has tried to kill me before. I don't know what to do. What if she tries to kill me again?" I replied.
"We'll think of something if that happens, Kagome. For now, let's just relax. For once we don't have to worry about Miroku spying on us, and we don't have to be back anytime soon." Sango said, laughing at the end.
Our bath was enjoyable. We talked about various subjects for a while, before returning to camp and almost immediately going to sleep. Well, Sango went to sleep. I sat up and pondered about what I should do. I couldn't stay with Kikyo along. I didn't want to be near her. I really didn't want to leave, but I decided I would leave as soon as I was sure everyone was asleep.
Well? How was it? I don't know when I'll update, but it should be within the next week. Please tell me what you think, and remember to review!
