Sketches
Disclaimer: Ok, if I didn't own Inuyasha in the last chapter, I seriously doubt that I could possibly gain ownership of him in this one… I'm still not smart enough.
And may I apologize for not updating in an eternity. I have bunches of stuff going on, so it's a little hard to find time to sit down at the computer and write. But its summer now! So I'll have more time…. Hopefully.
So here it is, the long awaited (probably not, actually) Chapter 2!
Chapter 2-
Kagome Higurashi was mad.
No, the word "mad" did not do justice to the rage she felt as she stomped through the forest back to the village.
"Inuyasha is such a JERK! How dare he? I went through all that trouble to buy him that stupid sketch book and he calls me- TO MY FACE- a source of noodles and a jewel detector! Idiot! That thing cost a lot of yen too! I don't know why I bothered. As if that THING could have any talent other than stuffing his face and slaughtering things with multiple legs and eyes! URG!"
She paused as she came across the Sacred Tree. The same thoughts always seemed to race through her head every time she saw its weathered branches.
This is the place where I first met Inuyasha.
At one point, she had actually felt grateful to the tree for giving her the opportunity to meet the sarcastic dog demon. Some time ago, she had felt that beneath his rough exterior was a pretty good guy.
But right now, she quite frankly hated Inuyasha so much, she wanted to bring out a chainsaw and chop the damn tree down.
Due to lack of heavy machinery, she settled for shooting it a very dirty look and mumbling a few curses while continuing on towards the village.
She needed to talk to Sango.
meanwhile, up a tree in the forest----
Inuyasha reclined against the tree branches. This "drawing" thing was really easy. Just see an image, and then move your hand to the shape of it. Easy. Then if one part is darker than another, you color in a little bit. Still easy.
He had been drawing random objects in nature for the last 45 minutes now; Trees, the pond, a few flowers here and there. But the work was getting boring, and he felt the need to truly challenge himself. He scanned his mind for something to draw; anything that had some significance to who he was.
And then it hit him:
Kagome.
Even though he treated her like crap most of the time, he thought very highly of her. She was very strong willed, had a good sense of humor, and put up with him all the time.
She would be perfect.
But he couldn't just go up and ask her to sit still while he drew her. That would be awkward, and by the way she "sat" him a few minutes ago…. He shuddered and tried not to think about it.
Inuyasha sat and thought. Maybe he could just try to remember what she looked like. That might work. Now he just needed a good moment to remember…
Perfect. That night a few weeks ago when they had watched the fireflies on the hill.
He closed his eyes and thought hard, and memories of that night came flooding back to him.
