Chapter Seven
Finding the Right Path
I watched his reactions before turning my gaze away from him already reading his disapproval. Pulling myself up as I turned from him my bangs thankfully hiding my eyes from his view as I felt them cloud up!
"I am sorry for yelling at you earlier,"I said as I began to turn my back to him, and walk. He grabbed my arm as he lifted himself from the ground still never releasing his grip on my wrist. He pulled the arm that he held behind him so I collided into him. His arms then wrapped around my waist. His chin rested on my head as I just stood still everything was taking a bit longer then it would have before to process the information of what was happening.
"Inu...InuYasha,"I question, but the only response I received was being pulled closer into the warm, and comforting arms around me.
"Don't say that,"came his angered voice as that was muffled by my hair. "How can you always make everything better like that? You shouldn't be apologizing you should be yelling, screaming at me, but not apologizing! Dammit Kagome why do you have to be so confusing?"
"It just comes natural," I replied with a huff as I tried to pull away from him, but his grip never lessened actually instead it tightened to almost painful.
"Will you let me go! I need to get back," I said as I tried to shove him away. He buried his face in my hair as I continued with my struggle. That's when I heard him mumble, "You smell just like you did before!"
"Oh for heavens sake InuYasha you go in a dungeon for ten years without a bath, and ask how you smell after that! Its not like they have a built in hot spring," I replied as reached up, and pulled his ear making him yelp, and stand back rubbing the abused appendage.
"What the hell was that for?" He asked as he glared at me. He apparently thought I had forgotten what he did to me ten years ago.
"Because your acting weird,"I replied as I crossed my arms in front of me. 'I think its time to get back,'was my only thought as I turned from him, and began to take my leave. Flashes of memory crossed my vision as I remembered what had happened so long ago...
Flashback
"Miroku do you know where InuYasha went,"I asked nervously. It had been almost a day since he left after one of our little arguments. He only shook his head, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a small kitsune. "Probably sulking somewhere,"he said with a childish grin.
"Well I will go find the baby,"I replied with a smirk before turning away, and walking toward to forest. Why did it smell like dirt, and clay...he wouldn't! He couldn't! Yet as I reached them I realized he did! Once again after his dead lover Kikyo! The wind was against him this time for my scent was blowing in the opposite direction of the couple. Right after him telling me that he would protect me from everything. I bet he never thought he would have to protect me from himself! I thought...I thought maybe he did have feelings for me, but no he goes for that...that clay pot. I guess I am not good enough for the hanyou! Maybe because my blood is pure I am unworthy of his love. I smacked myself mentally just because he was betraying me didn't mean I had to sink to his level! Yet, how could he do this to me? Am I not good enough to come out, and tell me that he doesn't love me? Or maybe because he is the 'Great InuYasha' he get two lovers? Yet, I never was the best demon, and I was different from the rest. My blood coexists in me with the blood of a miko! I was not half blood of a demon, but when I was younger I made a blood bond with a miko as a pact to help protect her village. It was dangerous to do such, and if I hadn't a heart then I would have died, but after a few agonizing nights it mixed with my demon blood giving me powers some demons only dream of. Maybe that is why I am not worthy because I am different from the others! Maybe the only reason that he liked me was because the miko that mixed some of my blood with hers was called Kikyo! I had changed, but she had not changed one bit her miko blood purified mine that was inside hers. Yet I was not so lucky it had mixed with mine making me a miko demoness. I had power some would dream of, but yet because of it my father disowned me! Yep! My own father thought I was unworthy of being a demon for the blood bond with his enemy. Hell, if my own father hated me why wouldn't InuYasha? So caught in my own thoughts I didn't realize that the wind had shifted against me. Until he began to sniff the air as he looked around the undead woman still in his arms. I don't have to take the betray! What did I do that was so bad to deserve this? Maybe I should just leave him to his choice, but first I have to get the knife out of my back!
End of Flashback
How could I forget about that? Did he think I did or something? I know that I never got a chance to talk to him about it because the day after we went to attack Naraku, but that doesn't make the situation much better! He caught my arm once again as he yelled, "Did you really change that much?"
"That is what I should be asking you,"I replied as I turned away from him jerking my arm from his hold. He's asking if I am the one that changed come on! He was the ass that betrayed me! The truth is for a while in the dungeon I hated InuYasha with a passion, but my hate slowly subdued, and went to Naraku, but I still have a...grudge with the hanyou! How could I not after that! The more I thought about it the less anger was there! Okay so maybe he just wants to be with his first love why should that concern me? Its really none of my buisness! The man I love doesn't love me why should I care? Oh yes I almost forgot because of the thing that beats inside my chest!
"What do you mean?" InuYasha asked slightly confused by the answer I had given him. I only smiled, but I knew it couldn't quite reach my eyes. He just stared at me a while before his mouth seemed to form the identical shape of a circle.
"If you keep you mouth open like that you will most likely swallow something unpleasant,"I replied as he shook his head a bit.
"You were there weren't you I thought I caught your scent you spied on me and Kikyo didn't you!" That bastard pinning this on me! Oh hell no!
"SPIED you are really as stupid as you look aren't you? I was looking for you because I was WOR-RIED about you if you even know what that word means," I yelled! I could already see the red filling my vision. I shook my head roughly. It was beginning to get worse. It was getting more difficult to control my animal instincts!
"Feh! I don't need anyone to be worried about me! If you have not noticed I can take care of myself...wait I AM NOT STUPID,"he screamed. I winced slightly. What did I expect he was a loud mouth!
"Oh forgive me! Why the hell should I worry about you? Next time I will just consider you dead, and go live happily ever after." The nerve of that idiot. Really did he always have to be such an idiot! Why couldn't he be more calm like Miroku...wait no not like Miroku! Nothing like Miroku!
(( Okay about the last sentence in the flashback she did not really get stabbed. It's a symbol because she was just backstabbed she had to get the knife out of her back...or sword I don't know what could be used for the sentence so I did my best! Gosh this chapter took forever I was just stuck on this! I wasn't really sure where to go from here! I have most of the end already planned out, oh I figured out this shall have a sequel to it! Yet all that does not help me at this moment so I guess I am in the most crude word, 'screwed' at the moment because I have no idea what to do so I may take a while for the next chapter! This seems like it has nothing to do with birds for the title, but If you gotta fly you gotta know where right? Also I might have a few chapters of just Kagome view because I have a lot of explaining to do on her story, and I need her to explain it! Also I am sorry for the late update because yesterday was my birthday, and I haven't had time to really get on so well here it is! Well till next chapter!))
