Author's Note: Wow, I didn't notice how short my first three chapters were. Oh well, they should get longer after that. Another part from the second movie that you need to know for this chapter is that when Inuyasha was in his demon form he grabs Kagome by her shoulders and his nails draw blood. Please R&R!

Chapter 2: The Waterfall
"What the—where the hell did that old raccoon take us?" yelled Inuyasha with clenched fists. Despite all their yelling and threatening, Hachi would not stop or turn around on the way here, and once Inuyasha and Kagome touched ground, he flew back the way they had come.
"Wow," said an awed Kagome, "look at that waterfall." And the waterfall was indeed beautiful. The sparkling water was as clear as the cloudless day and the big pond at the bottom was equally clear and sparkly. The goldfish swimming around the bottom of the shallow pool shone as brightly as the sun as they darted around here and there. Some of the fish jumped up out of the water now and then, making you squint when the sun glinted off their jeweled scales. A forest surrounded them for as long as they could see. From where they were before with the others, they figured they must be at least 7 miles away from their previous location.
"Hmm," said Inuyasha, trying to hide his own surprise, "what's so special about it?" Kagome glared at him, "Hmph, of course, someone such as yourself wouldn't be able to appreciate natural beauty, would you?"
She crossed her arms as he yelled at her, "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Kagome didn't answer; she just stared out at the beautiful sight before her.
"Well? Answer me!" he shouted as he grabbed her shoulder and whipped her around to face him. She winced and her hand went to the shoulder he had grabbed. The anger in Inuyasha's eyes died as it was replaced with worry. "Oh," Inuyasha said in almost a whisper, "oh, Kagome, I'm s-sorry, I forgot…" He tried to look into her face but she bluntly stared at the ground, her eyes filling up with tears. "Kagome?"
The all the emotions she had felt before came back, and she exploded, "Go away! Just get away! If you don't like the waterfall then don't go near it! If you don't like my food, don't eat my food! If you don't like me then get away from me!" Her fists were clenched and the tears poured down her face now.
Inuyasha took a step behind him, "Kagome! I--," he was taken aback and didn't know what to say, he had never heard her yell like that before, not even at him, she sounded so hurt, emotionally, "I'll… let you think awhile. I'm going to go see if I can find out where we are. You should get your shoulders cleaned up." He said that slowly, not wanting her to think he was abandoning her or trying to avoid her, he just thought she needed some time alone, "I'll be back later." He walked away slowly, still too shocked at her outburst to be mad like usual.
He couldn't believe he actually said sorry, he says sorry about 1 of the time, and when he does it's always way after he did whatever he did, and after the constant nagging of another person telling him to be nice. He could also not believe that he had almost told Kagome his deepest feeling. For her. About him liking her as more than just a friend to protect and a miko to help him find the jewel shards. She meant so much more than those.
He half sighed half growled and ran off in the direction Hachi had brought them from.
