Oi, sorry for the HUGE
confusion and the LONG wait for this chapter. Ah, I'm so horrible.
:P eh, just enjoi as much as you can… don't be confused please!
o
this is continueing from the other flashback…..
Jini
Kagome awoke in
Kaede's cottage.
Where am I?
She looked around and saw
everyone looking quite upset.
When they saw that she had regain
consciousness, they all jumped up and rushed to her.
"Kagome!
Are you alright?"
"Please be okay!"
"You just fainted
like that!"
Everyone was talking except Inuyasha who was looking
depressed.
Kagome tried to get up and say something to him when
the pain in her arm couldn't support her weight and she collapsed
to her side.
"Kagome!" (Everyone)
"Ugh, I'm okay…"
Kagome lay back down and glimpsed at Inuyasha who was looking
concerned.
"Kagome, don't try to move. Kaede's trying to
heal your wound. It seemed as if the poison in the arrow was very
fatal and you were in grave danger." Miroku said looking seriously
at Kagome's wound. Inuyasha shot a glance at Kagome when Miroku
had said an arrow and Kagome caught the glance.
"Oh, I see"
Kagome looked at her wound on her arm and stared at the ceiling.
Kagome blinked once and asked everyone if they could leave her
and Inuyasha alone for a second. They agreed and exited into the
gloomy night.
"Inuyasha…?"
Inuyasha
tried not to look at Kagome, but answered anyways.
"Yeah?"
"When did you gain
consciousness?"
"Before Kikyo left…"
"Why'd she
leave?"
"She was fleeing"
"From what?"
"How am I
supposed to know?"
"Ah, I see…" Kagome had a dull
expression on her face.
"I…I hate it when she tries to do
these things…" said Kagome looked at the ceiling once again from
her lying position.
Inuyasha hesitated
and responded, "It's not her fault you know…" He bit his lip
when he said this, knowing how Kagome will react to what he just
said. She turned to him and said, " Do you believe so, Inuyasha…
do you believe so…." Her voice faded.
They were both silent
for a minute before Kagome started the conversation again.
"She
tried to kill you, Inuyasha, don't you see? Did you want to die
with her? What about your goals in life, to gather the shards, to
seek revenge on Naraku? Is this nothing?"
"I still love her
Kagome! I can't help these feelings! Every time I see her, my heart
beats faster. I can't deny my feelings… I love her."
Kagome
looked to the floor. "I see… they say true love is more important
than anything in the world. I guess that would include me." She sat
up and leaned against the wall. Inuyasha looked at her and said,
"Kagome… you are from a different time. Nothing can happen
between us!"
"If you believe in what I just said, then time
wouldn't' matter, Inuyasha! But now I know, that I doesn't
matter to you." She stood up and started towards the door.
"Kagome!
Stop! Your wound!"
"Since when did you care about me! It has
always been Kikyo. Never me."
She exited the room and ran as
fast as her stamina let her. She continued to walk to the well,
knowing that Inuyasha wouldn't follow. He doesn't love her, he
doesn't care about her, and no one loved her. She cried and made
an effortless jump into the well, taking her to her present time and
her own bed, where she cried all through the night of the new moon.
