"I uh" kagome
started but really didn't feel like finishing.
"What did you
wish for?" looked into her eyes.
"I wished for...umm…my
true love. I wished for the one guy that could stop the arrange
marriage." She blushed heavily. Inu Yasha did the same.
"You
wished for your true love and that pulled me threw the well?" he
whispered.
Kagome nodded her head.
"Well, in that case, I
better start fulfilling your wish." He picked her up and moved her
too his back and took off running. He jumped from tree to tree. It
was dark and cold, but for some reason kagome didn't mind. She
liked being close to Inu Yasha.
Inu Yasha ran as fast as he
could. He remembered a place that he always visited. About three
minutes later he arrived and just jumped right it, soaking Kagome and
himself. They came to the top for air.
"Like it, it's a hot
spring"
"I know that, but now look at me, my clothes are
soaked." She was slightly peeved.
"Don't worry about that."
Inu Yasha jumped up and walked toward a tree. He took two steps away
from the spring and started to dig. After a moment he pulled a large
wooden chest from the hole. He opened it only to reveal old clothes,
a sword, and other interesting things that kagome didn't recognize.
Inu Yasha sifted threw the items until he found what he wanted and
pulled it out. "Here it is, you can wear this." He closed the
chest and placed the kimono on top of it. It was white with red
flowers all over it. The kimono and the flowers were outlined in
gold. Inu Yasha jumped back into the spring.
"Wow that's
beautiful, where did you get it"
Inu Yasha's smiled faded. "It
was my mothers. She died a long time ago."
"Is that chest full
of her clothes?"
"not completely. Hey do you want to come to
my house and go threw it?"
"Um, sure" she was curious but
also have no idea what time it was.
They had made their way
back to the well and crossed back over. Kagome had gone inside really
fast to tell her parents that she was going to go to Sango's house,
then called Sango and told her of the deception. She was glad that
her mom didn't notice her strange clothes. It took not but five
minutes and she was back out walking with Inu Yasha. Luckily for her
it was only 6pm and she didn't have to be home until 1am, after all
it was a Friday night.
They talked happily about things like
movies and sports all the way there. They had forgotten about the
chest that Inu Yasha carried.
They had entered Inu Yasha house
and went upstairs to his bedroom. They sat down and talked for
another hour until they realized that the chest was still closed and
they were sitting on it. They both jumped up at the same time and
kneed down in front of it.
"Here it goes" Inu Yasha said as he
opened it up again. "Ok you get the clothes and I'll get
everything else." He looked at her for and agreement, which he got.
They reached their hands in the chest and the same time. Kagome
grabbed another kimono, just as beautiful as the one she had on. It
too was made from silk. She put it on a hanger and gently laid it on
the floor, spread out. Inu Yasha had grabbed his father's sword.
His father left it with his mother to give to him when he was only
enough.
They reached back in a few more times until the chest was
half empty. "Why did you burry this stuff. It must be worth a
fortune?" kagome asked
"I buried it because on one believe
that I didn't steel these things. When my mother died these where
the only things that I was able to grab before the rest of the
villagers divided her things amongst themselves. They buried her with
some of her most favorite things, well the ones that I didn't
grab." He let out a laugh of amusement.
"Why did they? Didn't
her stuff idiomatically become yours when she died? You are her son
after all"
"yeah but" he looked down sad "since I was a
different I was not wanted. They ran me from my home. I snuck back a
few time to grab as much as I could carry."
Kagome's eyes
start to swell. "How old were you"
"five"
"That's
awful!" she cried. "It all makes sense now"
Inu Yasha looked
up at her to see tears running down her face. He grabbed her and
pulled her in. "don't cry!" he said plainly. "Being part
demon I was smarter that any other human child my age. I survived
just fine"
"That's why it was hard to get you to be my
friend. I'm so sorry, I should have understood and stayed" she
cried into his chest.
"Shut up, its not your fault"
They
stayed like that for a few minutes. Finally the silence was
broken.
"Hey do you want to do back with me to my time tomorrow
morning? I can show you around, see what I remember!" he smiled at
her.
She smiled back, "sure"
That night she went home
about 12:30 and went right to bed. Around 8 am she heard a light
tapping at her window. She slowly got out of bed and reached for the
window, only to see the adorable Inu Yasha smiling at her in his red
kimono. Kagome smiled, and walked away from the now opened window.
Inu Yasha jumped right it.
"You know Inu Yasha, that kimono
looks good on you, you should wear it more often" she glanced back
at him to see his face red.
A few minutes later kagome came out
of the shower and dressed her self in the kimono that she wore that
night before. Kagome ran downstairs and grabbed a few pop tars and
left a note for her mother. They took off for the well.
That day
they visited many different villages, and he took her too all the
nearby stream and rivers, even a lake. It was an amazing day.
However, there was talk about a jewel called "the jewel of four
souls". The comments made worried Inu Yasha and kagome. They still
had a little time so they went to check it out. It just so happened
that the village the jewel was being guarded was the village that was
closest to the well. They walked up to the village. Everybody looked
at the two odd balls.
The villages made comments about weather or
not the demon was going to kill them, and how beautiful the woman
was. They even questioned weather or not kagome was a demon in
disguised.
"Halt demon" said a young woman. They both turned
around to see something they didn't expect. A woman their age that
looked almost identical to kagome. "What is your business here?".
She asked. Her voice showed no fear. It seemed like she was trying to
be friendly, but knew she had to be strong for the villagers.
