"What are you doing here?" Inuyasha growled, annoyed with himself for not sensing she was there. What was wrong with him? Perhaps he had just been too enticed by the moonlit water to hear her small footsteps.
"I came for a walk." Kagome said coldly, not daring to look at Inuyasha. He had been totally rude with no explanation.
"By yourself?" Inuyasha raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, by myself." Kagome affirmed, still not looking up at the hanyou.
"But there could be demons out here, ya know." Inuyasha pointed out, and slapped himself mentally. He was a demon after all.
"Oh, I'm sure there are. Really rude, annoying demons with silver hair!" Kagome frowned, and shuffled away from Inuyasha.
"Feh." Was Inuyasha's reply, and he faced the other way. Silence ensued, and neither of them said a word. The air became heavy with awkwardness, but the pair did not move a single inch. Kagome cleared her throat, and looked over at Inuyasha. He had his eyes closed, and he looked asleep.
"Was I really that rude?" Inuyasha asked, startling Kagome.
"Yeah." Kagome replied, still keeping her words to minimum.
"It's your fault." Inuyasha smirked. Kagome gritted her teeth, and tried to calm herself. She shook with rage, but she was trying to keep herself controlled. It didn't last long, and Kagome got up, and went over to Inuyasha and raised her hand. She looked up at it, and let it fall.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Inuyasha chuckled.
"Nothing, you're just so… I dunno." Kagome sighed, and dropped to the ground. Inuyasha grinned, and turned back to calm water. "Inuyasha?"
"What?" Kagome glared at him, and narrowed her eyes.
"Forget it." Kagome huffed, and she closed her eyes and crossed her arms.
"No, I'm sorry, tell me." Inuyasha softened his expression.
"I just wanted to know why you're here." Kagome looked up at him; her eyes were a warm brown colour. It reminded Inuyasha of a funny foreign treat his parents once received. Chocobit, or something like that. He shook his head. Chocobit was sweet. Kagome was not sweet, how could he ever think that?
"It's a quiet place to think, ya know? It's hard being prince sometimes, you wouldn't understand, but there is a lot of pressure to be royalty. It's a just a quiet place I can sit by myself." Inuyasha eyes flickered, and Kagome held back her laughter. Of course she knew what it was like to be royalty! She was a princess.
"What?" Inuyasha looked annoyed.
"Nothing, it's just I feel kind of the same way." Kagome nodded, and she stared at the waves rolling into the shore. Inuyasha just grunted, and both were silent again. The moonlight cast a glow over everything, and the stars shone bright in the sky. Kagome sighed. Everything was perfect, even having Inuyasha here was not such a bad thing.
Kagome suddenly felt a dull pain in her middle. It felt like something was trying to break out of her stomach, but it wasn't very strong. She clutched her middle, and let out a small hiss.
"What's your problem?" Inuyasha glanced over at her. Her bangs shrouded her face, but he could still see her eyes. The warm brown colour was now faded.
"Nothing." Kagome sat back up straight again. The pain was gone, and she turned to face Inuyasha. "What's your problem?" Kagome smiled, and stuck out her tongue.
"N-nothing!" Inuyasha cried.
Kagome began to feel kind of sleepy, and her eyes felt very heavy. The sound of the rolling waves dulled, and Kagome's vision was starting to turn black. The last thing she remembered was Inuyasha, looking at her, his amber eyes filled with a look of concern.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Kagome landed, or what she thought was landing. Since when was she falling? She was still on the beach. Inuyasha wasn't there, and the cold seemed to be gone, replaced with a temperature that felt like nothing. Not too cold, not too hot. Where am I?
"Welcome, Kagome." A voice like ice floated through the air.
"Who are you?" Kagome whirled around, trying to find the source of the voice.
"Kagome, let's get down to business." The voice said, sending chills up and down her spine.
"What do you want?" Kagome asked, suddenly very frightened for her own safety.
"You possess a sacred artifact, and I want it." Kagome frowned.
"Show yourself first!" Kagome cried.
"Very well." A large baboon appeared in front of her. "My name is Naraku. Like I said before, you have a very rare jewel, and it should be mine." Naraku hissed.
"I don't have any jewels or anything like that." Kagome protested.
"Of course you do, but you just may not know it yet." Naraku grinned at the puzzled look on her face. "I think I should tell you the story. The jewel I am after is called the Shikon no Tama. A long time ago, there was priestess, and she was the protector of the jewel. But the priestess was killed, so she requested to have the jewel burned with her body. The priestess took the jewel with her in the afterlife; therefore her reincarnation would possess the Jewel. You are the priestess' reincarnation, so I know you have it." Naraku explained.
"Yes, but I have never seen it before." Kagome said, growing anxious.
"It hasn't materialized yet. Only an act of true love can force the jewel from its captivity." Kagome frowned again.
"True love? Like with a guy? But I don't even like anyone!" Kagome mumbled to herself.
"Well, whether you like it or not, you have a true love. You will realize soon enough, and it's not the person who would most likely expect." Naraku raised an eyebrow. "He'll become evident to you soon enough."
Kagome shook her head. She didn't want a true love, at least not at this point. "Why should I give you the jewel?" Kagome asked.
"If you don't I'll kill your entire kingdom, including your family and friends." Naraku chuckled to himself. "You have until the next full moon to get me that jewel." Kagome opened her mouth to protest, but shut it again. There was no use in arguing, she didn't want anything to happen to anyone.
"Ok, I'll do it!" Kagome nodded determinedly. Naraku smiled.
"Perfect."
AAAAAAAAA
Kagome gasped, and shot straight up. Her head collided with something hard and thick and she lay back down on the sand. The pain was intense, but quickly subsided.
"What the hell?" Inuyasha cursed, rubbing his head.
"Sorry." Kagome figured it was Inuyasha she had bonked heads with.
"It's ok. Are you ok? You just kind of blacked out." Inuyasha exclaimed, glancing over at Kagome.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Kagome replied. She sat up, and looked around wildly. He had to be somewhere, he was just here.
"What?" Inuyasha hissed.
"Nothing, just…nothing" Kagome lied. It had been a dream, and she was looking for something that wasn't there. She shivered, it was kind of creepy. Someone could get into her dreams, and she didn't like that.
Kagome felt something being draped around her. She looked up, and Inuyasha was now only wearing his white shirt he wore under his red haori. He was looking innocently at the moon.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome breathed. The pain in her stomach had come back, stronger than before.
"Don't make a big deal out of it, ok?" Inuyasha kept his gaze on the moon.
"Ok." Kagome squeaked. The pair sat watching the moon for a while. Kagome wondered what the dark spots were, and if anyone was ever going to make a trip to the moon. She fantasized about life on the moon. The sky was slowly beginning to lighten, making Kagome gasp.
"I have to get back to the castle." Kagome announced, picking herself up.
"Want a lift?" Inuyasha asked her.
"Ummmm… Sure." Kagome smiled. "That would be great." She climbed onto Inuyasha's back, and Inuyasha leapt off into the night. The wind whipped his hair, and he took in a deep breath.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome pointed to the ground.
"What?" Inuyasha said, turning his head slightly.
"There's the castle, right down there." Kagome pointed again.
"Oh, right." Inuyasha was slightly embarrassed, and landed softly on the grass in front of the doors.
"Thanks." Kagome turned to walk inside, but stopped. She turned back around, and slipped the haori off of her back. "Here." Kagome held it out.
"Thanks." Inuyasha murmured, and when he looked up, Kagome had gone.
Well? Good? Bad? Tell me in review! Yay! Lolz see ya next chapter!
