Thanks for reviewing... even though it was just one ;) I don't mind, at least someone read my story (and liked it, hehe). I already had this chapter written out and I had no homework today so I decided to go ahead and put it in. After Chapter 3 though, I don't know how long it'll take for me to get the junk in.
Chapter 2, Hurt Feelings
As soon as breakfast was finished and the dishes were cleared Kagome ran into the woods to find her beloved hanyou, Inuyasha.
'Ahhhhh, Inuyasha, I miss you already' Kagome stopped dead in her tracks. 'Did I just think that?!' She smiled as her cheeks became tinged with a slight pink at her own thoughts. 'I wonder if he's pouting, he's so cute when he pouts.' Her face only became redder as she continued to walk in a somewhat zombie daze, caught up in her own thoughts until something flew by her snapping her out of her once joyous daydream. 'Kikyo....' More quickly than it had come her wonderful mood subsided, being replaced by dull jealousy. 'I should have known, I was so stupid to think, even for a second, that he could love me, the reincarnate,... the shard detector.' Suddenly it felt as if a rock had been shoved down her throat and if she didn't breath carefully, she would surely choke. Although her better judgment told her not to, Kagome followed the soul collectors in blind jealousy. 'If I can't have him, neither can she.'
Inuyasha POV
'I can't believe she'd rather be in his company..... the pervert..... the lecher..... the.... the..... MIROKU!!!' Inuyasha's gaze once again hit the ground and stayed there. 'I should have known.... I'm a worthless hanyou, she could never care for someone like me, I couldn't care for someone like me.'
He fell into a silent coma until a soul collector whipped by his face snapping him out of his depression. 'Kikyo...' all thoughts of Kagome had long since been forgotten as he ran after the soul collector at top speed.
When he arrived he saw her, sitting nonchalantly in a tall tree as if she was waiting for his arrival. He was so entranced by her that he didn't notice a familiar smell or the rustle of the bushes directly behind him.
Regular POV
"So, Inuyasha, you have finally arrived," came the calm voice of the dead miko.
Inuyasha fell silent as his mind did cart wheels. Suddenly he pulled her down from the tree and into the warm embrace he had so desired. "Oh, Kikyo," were the worlds that he mumbled, barely audible considering his face was buried in her shoulder.
All Kagome could to was sit and watch as the man she was destined to love pulled the "thing" she despised into the warm and loving embrace that she knew she could never have. Tears began to slowly fall from her angelic face as she watched in disgust at the things happening right before her eyes. 'That should be me,' she thought with a new found rage and slammed her fist into the ground. Quickly realizing the loud noise she had made she froze to that spot.
'No..... please no,' thought Inuyasha as he turned to see what his heart had feared: a crouching Kagome with tear stained cheeks and a pain in her eyes that no one could replicate. "Kagome!" Inuyasha pulled from the embrace only to see her close her eyes and two more tears spill out.
"Leave me alone, you insensitive baka," she said as calmly as she could as she stood and ran away, but not before noticing the huge grin on Kikyo's face.
"Hmph, when will that damned reincarnate die and return my soul." Kikyo mumbled. "Anyways, now that we're alone again...." but it was too late... Inuyasha was already off chasing "his" Kagome.
He finally caught up with her only meters away from the well. "Kagome?..."
She pulled away furiously. "Don't you dare touch me! I'm going home, expect me back in three days time to continue the quest and for that reason alone!"
"Don't start yelling at me wench! You're the one who followed me! Why can'tcha mind your own damn business!!!"
Kagome turned at stared at Inuyasha with eyes to kill and he stepped back at least five paces but not far enough to protect his poor, sensitive ears. "Well, EXCUSE me for not letting you run off to hell with your mud pile! But the REST of this group has worked too damn hard to finish this quest and you WILL NOT, I repeat, WILL NOT! ruin it for some fling with a clay pot!!!! Now I am going home so P-I-S-S O-F-F!!!!"
Relieved
that he wasn't face down in the dirt Inuyasha simply stood planted to
the ground in shock until Kagome turned around and smiled sweetly....
"Oh yeah, blush , Inuyasha?" eyes twinkle
"Yeah?" he asked with a bit of suspicion but with an obvious sign of happiness in his voice.
"SIT!!!!!!!"
mwahaha, there ya go.... I hope all you lovely readers out there enjoy and review. Sorry it's so short again, but I know for a fact that the next chapters long
