Chapter Three: Third Chance
Kagome slowed down as she neared the center of the forest, where the trees broke apart. The leaves filtered soft, golden light onto the forest floor, which was covered in dry leaves and twigs. She looked skyward at the green leaves, they rustled slightly with the light breeze. The light was growing duller as she continued walking, her cheeks still stained with tears. She sighed deeply as she saw a large rock in the center of a clearing. She made ehr way to the rough surface and sat slowly down upon its top. She brought her knees close to her and tucked them under her chin. The image of InuYasha was clear in her mind. "Stupid InuYasha." She said slowly as more tears began to form in her eyes.
InuYasha, on the other hand, stood in shock still by the spring. His clawed hand still to his cheek as he tried to figure out what the hell just happened. Shippo and Miroku were making their way down the hill as trhey spotted him.
"I think he got himself in even more trouble then last time." Shippo remarked looking at the young hanyou. Miroku nodded as he crossed his arms in front of him, causing his staff to jingle a bit.
"Shippo my young friend, I don't think, I know." He remarked as he turned his head to look back at InuYasha, who was now staring into the spring. A look of confusion was on his face.
"What the hell just happened, I apologized and she slapped me? I don't get her, but..." InuYasha allowed his head to turn to look into the forest. "I better go get her, I don't want her to get hurt or anything. Plus it is getting dark." With that InuYasha turned and bounded into the forest, the sun was setting behind him causing everything to grow steadily darker. "Kagome, where are you?" He thought to himself as he sniffed the air for her scent. After a moment he caught it and stopped. A salty smell accompinied her own, along with another one he was unable to make out. He quickley returned to his hunt for her, running hurridly in her direction.
InuYasha finally found the clearing, and saw Kagome sitting on the rock. Her knees were tucked under her chin, tears slowly slidding down her cheeks. InuYasha felt his heart jerk as he slowly crept out of the bushes and towards her. He placed his foot down and heard a distinct snap, looking down he saw a twig in tow under his foot. When he returned his gaze to Kagome she was looking right at him, he look of sadness was replaced with one of anger.
"What do you want InuYasha?" She asked him fiercely. Her tone was cold and unmoving. InuYasha felt his heart jerk again, but continued to slowly approach her.
"Kagome, I really am sorry." A look of pleading was in InuYasha's eyes, he didn't mean to show this emotion but for some reason he did.
"Just leave me alone InuYasha!" She spat at him turning quickley away, causing her to fall off of the rock. The rough surface scraped her skin and drew the scent of blood. The scent drifted to InuYasha's nose and he quickley made his way to her over the short distance.
"Kagome!" He quickley went to her, her leg was scrapped and already beginning to bruise. Before she could refuse, he picked her up and began making his way back to the village. The scent he had smelled earlier was still there as he left, but he tried to brush it off.
"PUT ME DOWN!" Kagome said as she started pounding against InuYasha with her fist. "PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW OR I WILL SAY THE "S" WORD!" InuYasha looked down at her with a confused expression on his face.
"Might I remind you if you do that you will only injure yourself more, seeing as I am carrying you." Kagome was taken aback by the comment. She crossed her arms and looked away from him, causing InuYasha to smile. "She actaully looks cute when she gets angry, wait no! I am not thinking that! NO! NO! NO!"
