Kagome ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She looked behind her just to stumble over a tree root and fall flat on her face, her arms not reacting quick enough to catch her. She soon realized why she was running. Villagers she had never seen before were chasing her.
She tried to sit up to run again, but a foot connected with the back of her head, causing her to inhale a bit of dirt and coughed. The foot connected with her head again, this time in her temple.
"You little brat! Trying to steal again, are you? We might as well do away with the half-breed while we have a chance to now?"
"Little! Half-breed! What?" She glanced at her hand to realize it was clawed. Kagome looked past her hand to see a few scraps of food strewn across the path, like it had been thrown carelessly around. She felt her being lifted up by the arm and caught a glimpse of her hair as she was thrown against the tree trunk that caught her foot. It was silver.
What's going on here? Kagome thought. A villager came towards her with a pitchfork and her eyes widened.
"Please…no…" She tried to protect her head as the butt of the pitchfork hit her--
Kagome jumped. She rubbed her eyes to find out she was in a cold sweat. That was a creepy dream… she thought as she turned on her back to face the tree's branches overhead. She spotted a dark figure in the branches, amber eyes staring down at her. He was worried about her. She smiled inwardly, despite the disturbing dream she had recently. No matter how much he denied it, Inuyasha looked after Kagome. Any idiot could see that.
Playing stupid, she called up in the trees, "What is it, Inuyasha?" She soon dropped her act when he jumped down from the trees to look her in the eye. His amber eyes bored into her mahogany orbs, making her want to turn away. Inuyasha scrutinized her, making her uncomfortable.
"What!" She snapped at him. The sharpness of her voice suprized Inuyasha. Not enough for him to drop what he was going to say though. "You're sweating."
"Yeah…so?" She looked away from him to the little kitsune who was previously lying next to her. She looked at his orange hair as she thought of the dream absently. She glanced at her hand. Not clawed. Thank Kami it was a dream.
Inuyasha drove her thoughts away by talking once more. "You looked disturbed."
"It's nothing." She said quickly dropping her hand.
"You shouldn't even bother to lie around me Kagome. You reek with anxiety. Besides, something had to shake you up by the way your shaking." He raised an eyebrow quizzically. That's when Kagome realized she really was shaking. Had that dream really scared her that much?
She partially crossed her arms, her right holding onto her left arm. How could she ask him?
"Fine. Don't tell me. See if I really care." He was about to jump back into the branches when Kagome caught his hand with her. He stared at her with a confused look.
"Ummm…" she stole her hand back and looked away. Annoyed, Inuyasha's eyebrow twitched. "Are you going to talk to me or not, wench?" Kagome ignored the rude name she was called often.
Here goes nothing….Kagome thought sarcastically as she blurted out her thought, soon regreting it. "Inuyasha, what was your past like?" At the sudden outburst, she bit her lip back, wishing she could gather up the words she just said and throw them in the trashcan.
Inuyasha's face changed to a slight frown. "Don't worry about what happened to me when I was younger…"
"But I want to know." She was so fed up with him always pushing her away like this.
"Don't' trouble yourself with it…" he averted his gaze, causing his bangs to form an eerie shadow over his eyes.
"Why can't you just let me in?" She took her hand placed it on his once again. She must have hit a nerve, for this time it was Inuyasha's turn to take his hand away. "You don't know how hard that is for me Kagome!" she flinched at his outburst and glanced at the group wondering if it awoke any of them. The most that happened was Miroku snorted in his sleep slightly before his breath became even again. She would have laughed it the situation wasn't so tense.
"You think, after all I've been through, I can suddenly just trust people, let alone humans! You got some nerve, wench, asking something like that, let alone thinking I would tell you!" With that he jumped into the tree before she had a chance to protest.
"I just wanted…to help you…." She whipered. It was so quiet Inuyasha's ears hardly caught it. He looked down from the branch. Kagome's head was bowed, her eyes staring at her hands in her lap. Inuyasha 'fehed!' then turned his back to the base of the tree. When he didn't hear the rustling of the bag thing Kagome slept in he turned his gaze downwards. His nose picked up a scent. Salt? Was she crying? He rolled his eyes and jumped back down to his spot next to her, landing on his haunches and remained like that.
"Kagome?"
"You don't need to tell me…" her voice trailed off. She took a breath of air trying to calm herself only to have another soft sob rack her body. "I just thought I could help you…"
Inuyasha's shoulders slumped at the sight of her crying. Why did she always cry over him like this? His past could have happened to any orphaned whelp…well…almost any orphaned whelp. He sighed. Why did he always let these feelings get the best of him?
Kagome let out a small 'eep!' as she was lifted off her knees and into the air. Before she knew exactly what was happening she felt herself lying against Inuyasha. She felt his arms lock around her waist loosely. She turned and looked at him quizzically, but Inuyasha just dismissed the gesture with a small shake of his head.
"Your spillin' the beans first. What did your dream of?"
Deciding to dismiss the guesture as well, Kagome shifted to face Inuyasha a little better. Too late to just forget about the whole thing. Kagome sighed then took a deep breath. Here goes nothing...
