A Change
Chapter 3-A lullaby
Kagome walked through the woods, following her senses and the soul keepers floating above an ominous tree.
Branches snapped in half, leaves crumpled up and an intuition that Inuyasha had been on the very path she was walking. Nothing seemed to scream out that Inuyasha or Kikyo were near, but she just had a gut feeling she was right.
Seeing a clearing up ahead, Kagome squinted, trying to find a couple flashes of red, or any sign of the two interacting. Kagome shuddered at the thought of what they could be doing. About fifty feet away and she could hear muffled talking. She froze for a second, wondering what in seven hells she was doing. Then, she smiled, she would not let anyone ruin the journey she was on to find the jewel shards up. She lost too much in the process of the whole god damn thing!
Walking forward with even more of a reason to scream at Inuyasha, and maybe get a few words in at Kikyo. Her smile now seemed to get a little more scary as she thought of chewing Kikyo out. In the rush and need to yell, Kagome did not even care if they were indecent. Just anothing thing that could be added to the list.
She gracefully strided behind the tree, seeing Kikyo pressed against the tree with Inuyasha pulling at her upper clothes, kissing her neck while doing so. Kikyo had her eyes closed and Inuyasha couldn't see her so she made herself known by saying, "How disgusting!"
Kikyo's eyes snapped open, as Inuyasha jumped away from Kikyo. Startling both gave Kagome the pleasure she needed, "Uuuh . . .. Kagome. . . What are you doing back so soon?"
"Well Inuyasha, It has been over a week, " Kagome stated smartly. Inuyasha scowled with displeasure, "but of course, your just to stupid to know the difference between a week and a month."
"Well sorry I got a little distracted," Inuyasha murmurred, looking from Kikyo to Kagome. He definately could tell that Kagome was pissed.
Kikyo finally joining in on the argument, "Yes, dear girl, I have made myself visible to his eyes, and when that happens. Everyone would simply imply that would mean, I more desirable than a girl from a different time.
Kagome glared, a look so mean and menacing that Naraku himself would be intimidated, "Well same goes for you Kikyo, I'm guessing not many people from not only your time, or my time, would be very interested in a living dead corpse that only feels hatred towards everything."
Inuyasha flinched, "Kagome what the hell is your problem? I didn't do anything wrong. Kikyo and I were just . . . " He had no words.
"Well maybe you should figure out what you were doing, but to me it looked like you two were about to started fucking each other. By the way Inuyasha, that's the most disgusting thing that I've ever seen. She's dead. All she wants is to put you into hell." Kagome took a deep breath, counting to ten as she did. It didn't help.
Kagome put her head in her hands shaking her head slowly, the muffled sound of her voice cam out, "You know what. I'm sick of thinking I might actually have a chance in winning over your heart. But now I know that someone like you is only interested in a corpse with only part of a soul."
"Kagome . . . " Inuyasha said, belwildered by Kagome's words.
"But you know what . . . I want my soul back." Kagome looked up at Kikyo, "And soon, Kikyo, very soon I will get it back. Just you wait. I will get you on the perfect night."
Kikyo watched with and amused expression, "You, my dear, could never get what rightfully belongs to me. Which is my soul and my love interest."
Kagome made a 'Hmph' sound as she walked around to the opposite side of the tree and leaned against it, "Hurry up and get dressed Inuyasha, we need to start up right now."
"Why the hell should I listen to you?" Inuysaha asked, with a snobby twist to it.
"BECAUSE I'M SICK AND TIRED OR WAITING FOR THIS GOD DAMN NIGHT TO END!" Kagome bellowed, "You know what. I'll wait for you back at Kaede's."
She started to make her way back, "Oh and by the way Inuyasha, SIT!" A body slamming into the ground was what Kagome heard. She sniggered, he muttered obscene things.

Sango was leaning against a tree near the river, as Kagome walked right up to her with a very serene face on, "I was almost sure you would come back in tears, confessing that Inuyasha is the biggest jerk in the world speach you always do when Kikyo shows herself."
Kagome laughed, "Yeah, maybe a week ago it might've been that way. But I think I'm just really annoyed with that whole situation. Like any girl may say in my time, 'He is so last season.'"
The skeptic look on Sango's face amused Kagome, "Kagome, people actually say that in the future?" Sango sat on the ground staring at the lake.
Kagome joined her, "Of course they do. It's just the way people are. When something new comes out that is better than what you have, it's last season. I think.."
"Oh," She looked over at Kagome, "So what exactly happened with the whole Kikyo situation? Did you cry at all?"
"Nope, I just told him and his bitch off. Same ole thing I've been ranting about for . . . . I don't know . . . . um, since I heard about the Kikyo/ Inuyasha thing. Just a whole god damn mess." Kagome ran her fingers through her hair and then started rubbing her temples.
"Are you feeling okay Kagome? You seem stressed." Sango asked like a worrying sister. Her brows furrowed and forhead lines appeared.
"Not really, I feel really weird. Plus, I have finals coming up and that will tell me if I passed into the 12th grade. It's just wiggin me out. . ."
"Wiggin?" Kagome laughed a little at that."
"Sorry. It means freaking out. Bugging, umm... tweak. Those kind of workds mean freaking out." Sango smiled a little at that.
"Oh," Sango looked over at the river, Doens't if look beautiful tonight? With the moon reflecting on it, with all the trees with it too. Very serene, isn't it?"
Kagome looked over at Sango again, "Yeah, it's making you have a blue glow. You look stunning." she smiled through everything she just went through tonight.
"So do you Kagome, you always do though. It makes me jealous. All the guys seem to love you." Kagome snorted.
"The guys that like me are weird stalkers that need restraining orders. If you havn't noticed, the guys that have liked me, have big egos, loud mouths, and are usually really stupid." Sango laughed, "Plus, Miroku seems to like you a lot. He treats you differently than all the other girls he's asked to bear his children."
Sango turned red, "Well, that would be nice. If he stopped touching my butt." Kagome giggled gleefully, "Stop laughing at me! I can't help it!"
"Well, um... maybe you should scare him. Like touch him back,"Sango looked at her surprised, "What..? Just an idea."
"Let's just ignore what you just said, and . . . . talk about somehing else!" Sango asked hopefully, as Kagome sighed.
"I am getting a tired, should we walk back? I want to go cuddle with Shippo for awhile." Sango smiled at her motherly ways.
"Alright," Kagome stood and Sango did the same. They walked back in comfortable silence, as they reached the hut, they heard voices of Miroku and Kaede.
Sango walked in first, then Kagome walked in, Miroku and Kaede looked at her with a paranoid faces, "What? Can't a girl walk into a room with out everyone being nervous! I'm fine. Just tired." They both nodded slowly.
Kagome sighed, just as she was about to sit down Shippo's eyes slowly opened, and he looked around slowly, taking in his surroundings, then he noticed Kagome, "Kagome!" He jumped up and bounced into her open arms.
"Hey sweet stuff! How are you?" Shippo just snuggled into her, "Do you want your lullaby?" Shippo nodded, a cute little face on him.
(A/N: I usually don't like to make the centered song thing; it's way cliche! But I'm gonna do it! Sorry if you don't like it! It's also a noir song! Sorry.. that's all I could find.. oh yeah.. i don't own it!)

The snow falling down.
While you sing a quiet lullaby, I catch a fleeting glimpse of your profile.
I'm trapped in a small room, I love you while my spirit calls out to you.
Words are needless, lost memories softened peacefully, but how strange. . .
First there in that close place where I only just slept.
Close beside you.
The snow falling down.
A soft lullaby.
In the gentle night I bury my face in my hands.
I don't want to know sorrowful experience, therefore let the singing stay as
it is,
As it is until this dawn.
Shippo's eyes slowly closed as Kagome leaned back against the wall, her eyes were becoming heavy also. Lazily looking over at everyone she saw them in deep conversation, she smiled and drifted into a deep slumber.
A/N: Sorry for all the swearing! It was to emphasize Kagome's anger and stuff. So I apologize if you don't approve!
