Chapter Fifteen

A Flight to Memory Lane

How stupid could he get? I mean seriously his brother was about to shatter my arm, and he thinks we are flirting with each other?

Shacking my head I walked towards the village it was time for me to catch up on old times. I could sense InuYasha coming towards me, and that concluded one thing, walk faster. Walking through the village I was about to enter when InuYasha finally caught up with me.

"What the hell was that sit for?" He yelled crossing his arms in front of him.

"Stupidity!"

"What did you say?"

"Stupendous!" I replied grinning widely as I tried to get past him to the door. He grabbed my arm as he asked curiously, "Where ya goin'?"

"To Kaede's hut I wanna know what has happened since I have been gone."

"Why didn't you just ask me?"

"Because you were being a jerk!"

"I was not,"he grumbled.

"Fine I don't feel like getting in a fight right now! What has happened so far?" I asked. He was so exhausting sometimes.

"Well not that many things have happened except Kikyo died,"he said as he looked away.

"And?" I asked awaiting more information. Yet, I wasn't quite excepting his reacion. He turned to me his eyes flashing red.

"And, is that all you have to say?"He yelled as he walked towards me menacingly. Backing up until my back hit the side of the hut.

"Yeah,"I stated with confusion. I froze as his fist hit inches from my face.

"Just because you were jealous of her you don't show any remorse of her death? You selfish wench. Why can't you just forget about the past, and stop being so bitter!" He yelled out his eyes completely red as he glared at me. My eyes widened as his words hit me full force. He looked almost as though he was about to transform into demon form. I gulped he always was scary when he was full demon. Grabbing my confidence I stood up straight staring him straight in the eye.

"What was I suppose to do? What am I suppose to do InuYasha? Just forget that it had ever happened? Its funny if you think about it! The same day you told me I was the only one your truly trusted, and that you would protect me from everything. Was the same day you betrayed my trust, and hurt me! You made two promise, and broke them," I broke into laughter as he just watched his face blank of emotions as he thought to himself.

"Really you should laugh I think its quite funny! You probably never thought you would have to protect me from yourself. You blame me for spying, and all I was doing was caring for you! Trying to make sure you weren't hurt. Then you act as though nothing happened, like you had done nothing wrong. You placed the blame on me as though I am the awful person! Maybe I am, maybe I am the one that betrays instead of the other way around. So many betrayals for one person it seems almost as though I am drawn to them. All the people I should stay away from become my friends, and those same people shatter me! I am not ever sure I will be able to pick up the pieces. Yet, you think I should feel pity on you about Kikyo's death! She was already dead, and when she came back she wasn't the real Kikyo. I feel no sadness for her, and I pity her in another reason then you do! You pity her for the death she had died. I pity her for the impersonator of her true self. You are mad at me because I do not cry for her death. You are mad that I do not show remorse. That was not Kikyo it was merely a puppet a sliver of her true self. Nothing worth tears! She had tried to kill the both of us, and had taken the only person that I love! I loved you with all my heart, and would have done anything for you. Yet, all you did was throw all my feelings away as though I was worthless. That must be it my father always said I was worthless, and you said it without words. I am just a worthless pathetic demon, right InuYasha. I was a mistake, and you must have the punishment of dealing with me! I am sorry that my presence is such a nuisance. With me thinking that I was worthy of your love. How stupid can I get?" I asked ask I broke into even more laughter. The forest seemed almost silent as InuYasha watched me silently. Our conversation was heard from the others, but I ignored them. As I laughed harder my eyes watering as my laughter mixed with choking sobs. "Really InuYasha isn't it just so funny,"I asked as I looked up at him a watery smile on my face.

I tried to wipe at the tears that cascaded down my face. "Well I must go retrieve the firewood for tonight,"I replied as I took off into the forest. I ran until I could no longer hear them Damnit how could I be so stupid? Why did I just say all of that? I guess when my stupidity comes it just keeps rolling in. Falling to my knees I looked up at the sky.

Why me? I mean why does everything happen to me? Is fate picking on me? Laughing at my struggles. I can't believe I just blew up on him. Shacking my head I sighed how could so many things happen to one person its unfair.

"Who dares enter my lands?" Came a familiar voice.

I stood up looking around. I knew that voice. I watched with a small smile as the leader of the wolf tribe entered. His black hair was pulled into a high ponytail. His piercing blue eyes locked with mine as he gazed in shock.(I was thinking of ending it their, but I am going to write some more!)

"Kouga,"I asked as I wiped away the tears.

"Kagome?" He questioned as he took a step towards me. I nodded as I continued to try in vain to stop the tears that were coming back quicker then before. He ran towards me quicker then I could have thought possible. Before I knew it I was in a bear hug by the wolf demon.

"Kagome I thought you were a goner! Me, and my tribe searched for you for years, and we could never find you,"he yelled happily as his hug tightened until I could no longer breath.

"Ko-kouga I can't breath,"I gasped as I tried to squirm from his hold. He released me grinning sheepishly. Before I heard, "Kouga where are you?"

Kouga then grew completely serious as he looked down at his feet. "Kagome I am sorry, but I broke my vow! I searched for you, but after a while I lost hope. As the wolf leader I had to find a mate soon and..." Before he could finish a wolf demoness walked out of the bushes.

I recognized her immediately. Then it hit me they were mates. Ayame walked toward Kouga cautious of me. I ran forward, and both were stiff afraid of the worse.

Ayame was about to get into a defensive position until my arms wrapped around her. "I am so happy for you two. I knew you were a good couple," I cried out laughing merrily. As I released her, and backed away getting a good look at the now fully confused couple.

"So you aren't mad?" Kouga asked scratching his head.

"No why would I be. I never wanted to say it to your face, but I only liked you as a good friend. You, and Ayame always seemed like a perfect couple," I said still laughing at the look on their faces. It was beginning to feel just as it had ten years ago. It felt as though a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders.

"Would you like to come to the den with us for the night? It is getting late, and its never good for someone to be wandering in the forest alone, "stated Ayame as she smiled warmly. I nodded grateful I wouldn't have to be sleeping on a rock or tree like I had originally planned. I followed behind the two, and I was so close to skipping like a young girl.

It felt so great not to have to worry about this or that for one day. To be able to live a semi normal life for today at the least. The greatest thing was to see two of my friends happy. Now I have four friends that are happily married. Could life get any better at this moment...I really hope I didn't just jinx myself!

(( I ran out of disclaimers! Don't worry though I am making up a few more as I type! Wow my fourteenth chapter really was messed up I forgot the disclaimer, and like one of the reviewers said I had a lot of exclamation points!!! I love exclamation points most of the time I reread my stories and have to take like twenty out, but I forgot to reread chapter fourteen so as you can tell there was some mistakes. I know my chapters are short its just that I get bored of longer ones, but since I am so far into this entire story I may start making them longer it all depends on many things. All of which I am still deciding. Also the next chapter will be Sesshomaru! Another unveiling will happen which is what demon is Kagome! I took a bit longer on this chapter, but the others I shall try, an write faster, and longer! Well till next chapter!))
