I watched the scene play out in front of me, watching how his eyes
softened when he saw her smile, his warm touch, graze her could skin. I hid
behind an old tree down wind of him, careful so he wouldn't catch my scent.
I knew he wouldn't hear me, not over the pouring rain and their soft
voices. "Kikyou, I do love you, don't ever doubt it." Inu Yasha said taking
her hand in his own two and kissing the tips. "What about my reincarnation
Inu Yasha? You must feel something for her." Kikyou said, almost pouted. "I
don't feel anything for her, she's a horrible copy of the original, and why
have a copy when u can have the best?" He purred softly.
I felt my heart sink, tonight was the night I was going to tell him that I was in love with him, to admit the emotions I had been so afraid to show and admit. "Are you serious Inu Yasha or are you just lying to me?" Kikyou asked withdrawing her hand, now glaring at him. "Kikyou! I swear I'm not lying. I love you more then anything!" He cried, tears almost coming out of his eyes. 'He'd never cry for me.' I thought bitterly. I felt my tears run down my face, but I didn't care, I was numb form the pain inside of my heart. 'He loves her so much. he'll never love me like that, never.' I admitted it. I sighed quietly. "Inu Yasha, when you complete the Shikon no Tama, what do you plan to do with it?" Kikyou asked, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I-I I wanted to give you back a living body." He said blushing slightly.
Enough was enough. I turned around and as quietly as I could, I walked back to the hut. Everyone was sleeping, just like I had left them. I walked over to my backpack, careful not to disturb anyone and opened it, found my pen and some paper and wrote a note to Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Inu Yasha and Kaede. I signed my name and carefully place my backpack's contents on the floor. I picked out my clothes and the shards and left the rest to them. I picked up my backpack and placed it on my back. I whipped my eyes, taking on last look at the sleeping faces I had grown to love.
Sango, my best friend is any world, we had centuries parting us, but she and I were closer then any girl could ever get. Miroku, the perverted monk with a serious side, he was sweet and very mature, but a letch. Shippo, my adopted son, so sweet, young and innocent and still a child and last Kaede, the village priestess, younger sister of Kikyou and someone with a heart so big, she was almost a saint. I smiled and whispered my farewells and walked out of the hut, knowing well I would never return.
I walked into the woods and to my well; I swung my legs over it and hopped in. Once I got to the other side, I climbed up the tree and into my window. I walked in; I quietly grabbed my hiking boots and put them on. I emptied my pack and placed in it: 5 pairs of wool socks, 5 sorts, 5 denim jeans black, 5 t-shirts, 5 tank tops, 3 miko uniforms in blue, undergarments and 4 fine silk kimonos. I secured the fastens on my pack and changed into another pair of black shorts and a camo-tank top. I grabbed my hair tie and put up my hair in a high ponytail.
I wrote a note to my mother and grabbed my sports watch. I went down stairs and placed the note on the kitchen table. I sat my pack down by the back door. I sighed and grabbed me water bottles and filled them and placed them in my pack. I put on the pack and walked out the door and into the well house. I grabbed my bows and arrows; I placed the quiver on my back since my backpack was now very small and compact, it now only covered half of my back. I sighed and jumped through the well.
I landed on the other side and set off, in the west the opposite way then the village, but towards Kouga. I looked down at my watch; it was 5:23 am. I was off onto a good start. I sighed again and walked on.
By midday I was about halfway to Kouga's den. It had been every uneventful day, no demon attacks. I was sitting by a nice river eating a fish I had caught and cooked. I chewed slowly, keeping my eyes out for anything. I saw movement! I stopped eating and walked towards it slowly and fearfully. I was relieved to see it was a cute little kitten. I cooed and kneeled in front of it holding out my hand to it, showing some fish in it. It wagged its tail and walked over and ate it. It then let me pet its head. "Do you have a master little puppy?" I asked, scratching his ears.
It shook its head no and continued to purr. I smiled, "Would you like me to be your master?" it shook its head happily yes and purred more. I giggled, "Ok. What should I call you Hikari, that means light, is that ok with you?" I asked her. She purred more and jumped out of my arms and nuzzled my leg. I giggled and walked over to my backpack and tossed it on. I walked on, and Hikari fallowed me closely.
We reached Kouga's den at the brink of nightfall. I crossed through the waterfall entrance, "Kouga?" I called. He was immediately there at my side looking me over, "Well Kagome! What a surprise! Where is that dog shit? What did he do to you my dear?" He bombarded me with endless questions. I sighed, "Kouga-kun, he did nothing, I'm on my own now and I've come to ask you for your shards, I'm in great need of them now more then ever. His name is Inu Yasha and I wish for you to address him as so.
I was also wondering, if I could stay for this one night and leave in the morning. May I?" "Of course you can stay! I don't know about the shards Kagome. We'll talk about it." He said wrapping his arm around my shoulders. "Kouga-kun, don't forget I'm a miko, if you try anything, I swear I won't hold back on you just because you're my friend." I warned him. He froze, removed his arm and walked on, signaling for me to fallow. I waited for Hikari to jump on my shoulder, which she did, and I then set off behind Kouga.
I felt my heart sink, tonight was the night I was going to tell him that I was in love with him, to admit the emotions I had been so afraid to show and admit. "Are you serious Inu Yasha or are you just lying to me?" Kikyou asked withdrawing her hand, now glaring at him. "Kikyou! I swear I'm not lying. I love you more then anything!"
