Always and Forever

×Chapter 6× regretted fears

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or anyone else for that matter… (Why do I even try?)

"Good morning Tokyo on this beautiful morning, it is now 6:30 am and 32 degrees outside and…." Instead of viciously trying to smash her radio, Kagome just let it uselessly talk about who was shot, who won the elections and the weather. She rubbed her green eyes and sat up swinging her legs off the side of her bed and stretching. Her hand found itself on the volume knob on the radio; soon her room was filled with simple morning radio.

She took off her p. j shirt and put on a bra and her school top. Once in her uniform, Kagome fell to her knees and started to cry on any other day like this she would be in the feudal era searching for the jewel shards with her real friends, with that she grabbed her radio and threw it out her window.

The golden sun rose over the high green hills, its young bright rays reflected off the pair of ember eyes which showed deep sadness. 'What did I do' thought Inuyasha flopping down in the soft dew covered grass. A soft summer breeze swept over the valley and a hollow feeling of loneliness filled him, memories of the past filled his thoughts, memories of Kagome and how it used to be before he messed up yet another time.

"Hello, Kagome," said an unsure familiar masculine voice. Kagome spun around and saw Hojo standing behind her, for once he wasn't holding a package, she sighed in relief had her grandfather finally said she was on vacation or something of the sort? Completely ignoring Hojo's polite greeting, Kagome spun around and continued walking, she was pissed off enough, and she didn't want Hojo talking to her all day.

Ripples broke the crystal surface of the lake as a small flat stone ricocheted of its surface before flopping into the water, Inuyasha sight 'THIS IS SO BORING' he screamed in his head. He went to untie the jewel from around his neck but…

: Flashback:

"Inuyasha what are you doing?" asked Kagome.

"What does it look like I'm doing you stupid wench" snapped Inuyasha.

Tears started to form in Kagome's eyes she snatched the jewel and jumps into the well.

: End of Flashback:

"Fuck" Inuyasha yelled making the birds in a nearby tree scatter out of fright "I should've gotten it from her". He stood up and ran back to the well.

Kagome felt a light pressure on her right shoulder "I said hello Kagome", it was Hojo, why was he stalking her like this.

"Back off Hojo, I didn't say hi for a reason" snapped Kagome getting quite irritated. "If I don't want to talk to you I won't so let go of my shoulder so I can get to school please" she shook off his shoulder and started walking a little faster than before. Before she could get far Hojo grabbed her arm tightly. "Hojo, let go you're hurting my arm" she whined in pain.

"I've been nice to you, I bought you all sorts of gifts and no matter how much your friends said you would go out with me, you kept on blowing me off, I'm tired of this Kagome" Hojo had an awful, frightening look of anger in his eyes.

Kagome started to cry, she could no longer feel her arm, how could her own friends have done this, it was all their fault, they were the ones that kept saying that she would go out with Hojo. Her knees started to buckle beneath her but Hojo's hand was keeping her from doing anything. The thought then entered her head if she hadn't fought with Inuyasha, she would be back in feudal Japan and none of this would have happened.

Hojo lifted her arm a little higher and looked Kagome into her emerald eyes and said "if I can't have you… No one can" those were his last words to her as he dragged her to the side of a building behind a dumpster.

Standing on a sidewalk near Kagome's school, Inuyasha could smell her, she had just been there, but someone else also and unfamiliar scent. He followed the scent to the side of a building he could smell tears and…blood.

Sorry this chapie is so short… next one will be longer I promise.
