Birthday Gift
Chapter 5: Going Home
At the thought of breakfast, her stomach turned. She got up and quietly left the lord's home and began running. She was going to find out what this was, right now. She jumped into the well and sighed as the blue light surrounded her.
-With Inuyasha-
The hanyou awoke with a slight smile on his face. Kagome did love him, what was going to happen today that he couldn't smile about. When his eyes opened, his 'mate' had not been there. He jerked up, looking around. When he noticed his clothes on the floor, he realized he hadn't been dressed. He pulled them on carefully.
Where was Kagome? He looked back to where she was asleep as tears threatened to come out. If she had left him, why didn't she say anything about it? "Kagome…" He whispered to himself. The only girl he loved - the one he gave his heart to last night - had left him.
His heart sunk as he got up and opened the thinly-papered door. He looked around in a hope of seeing Kagome. She wasn't there. He couldn't smell her scent, for it had started raining. Funny how when you're depressed, the rain seems to be there. He walked to the room where they'd be eating at.
He opened that door slowly. Upon seeing Sango's black hair, his heart skipped a beat. For a moment, he had thought that Kagome didn't leave him. But, when Sango turned to look at him, his heart sunk even lower.
"What's wrong, Inuyasha?" She asked him. Those were words Kagome asked him sometimes. He tried his best to act normal, but it was no use. Everything was reminding him of Kagome, and the thought of Kagome reminded him that she ran away from him.
She didn't love him, did she?
"Nothing." He replied shortly. The less he had to talk, the less they'd be able to tell. But, his lack of speaking had started to bring worry onto the slayer and monk.
"Where is Kagome?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha looked at him quickly. His eyes flashed the demonic red then faded away into their normal golden color. He got up and left, not even eating his food. Sango and Miroku exchanged glances. Inuyasha didn't eat, there was something wrong for sure. With Kagome's name making him upset, they could only guess what had happened.
-With Kagome-
"You ran away from him, Kagome?" Kagome's mother asked. She nodded, not really realizing the mistake in her actions. The rain outside was hitting the roof of their home hard. Hadn't the weatherman predicted sunny weather today? She took a sip of the hot cocoa given to her then looked up at her shocked mom.
"What?" She questioned. Her mother sat down next to her and shook her head.
"Inuyasha doesn't understand, dear. He's not used to the idea of having kids making a woman upset." She said. Kagome didn't get it. She smiled and shook her head.
"No, mom. Because it's always like that." She replied sweetly. Gramps came in the room with a bunch on incense that had already begun to burn their smell off.
"No, Kagome. It is said in the days of the Shikon No Tama, that fathers rejoiced at the sound they would have children." Kagome blinked at the old man's words. What did he mean!
"Kagome, what he's trying to say it… Inuyasha doesn't know why you left. He isn't like the men here and the women aren't like the women here. Having children excites any man in those days, not like today where'd they leave… You leaving only makes him think you rejected him…" She said. Kagome's eyes slowly grew wide as she realized her mistake.
"I didn't mean to run off without telling him. I just didn't want…" She stopped speaking as a tear rolled out of her eye and down her face. "I'll go back, I won't leave him… But I have to know if I am or not…" She finished. Her mother nodded then stood up.
"We'll go see a doctor when you've had your cocoa." She said. Kagome nodded then looked down at her drink. The marshmallow floating along the top made her smile in the tiniest amount. She felt so bad for leaving Inuyasha, but she couldn't go back until she knew if she had his child or not.
-With Inuyasha-
Inuyasha sat in a tree, ignoring the rain as it hit him. It had begun to rain hard not long after it started raining in the first place. He stared at the ground, lost in thought.
Why would Kagome just leave him like that? Should he chase after her? He knew that there were times she went to her time to be alone, and she usually said something about a test. So, was she in her time to be away from him or was she wishing he'd come for her.
He wanted to so badly. How could he not want to see her? He looked up at the sky as a few bold tears rolled off his cheek.
"Inuyasha." A voice interrupted. He looked down, expecting to see Kagome. Instead, Miroku was standing there with something on his head to protect him from the rain. Inuyasha's lack of a verbal answer caused him to sigh.
"Kagome will be back. She's left to be in her time without telling us and she has always come back." The monk told him. Inuyasha looked down at him then jumped down to talk to Miroku.
"She's not coming back!" He yelled. Miroku took a step back as he looked at the hanyou. He seemed sure that she wouldn't come back, why was that?
"Why?" Miroku asked. Did Inuyasha do something to hurt her again? Surely it wasn't anything that an apology couldn't fix! Inuyasha seemed to hesitate in his answer before he gave in. He'd have to tell someone why Kagome ran away, might as well be the one guy he felt he trusted.
"I told Kagome that I loved her… And then we 'made love'… Now she's gone. She ran away." Inuyasha said. Miroku was surprised at his confession. The only thing that surprised him more was those tears. Inuyasha was really crying.
"She'll be back. She loves you." He tried to coax the hanyou. Inuyasha's eyes flashed red as he snarled at his friend.
"She's not coming back! She's gone!" He snapped. Miroku placed two hands on Inuyasha's shoulders, as if holding him down on Earth.
"Inuyasha. Why don't you go apologize to her? I'm sure she'll be fine if you apologize." He said. Inuyasha gave a sniff then nodded. He trudged off towards the well, his head hung. Miroku watched in shock then went back to see Sango and tell her what was wrong with their friend.
-With Kagome-
"Come on, Kagome. We're going to the doctor's to see if you are or not." Kagome's mother said. Kagome looked up then got up and followed her mother. She knew she had to be. Throwing up two times today was a sign that she was. She never got this sick before. They both walked to the doctor's.
"Higurashi, Dr. Muioto will see you now." One of the secretaries said. Kagome looked at her mother with a nervous expression. When her mom stood up, Kagome followed shyly. They walked into the doctor's office and Kagome sat down on the table.
-With Inuyasha-
Inuyasha jumped into the well. But, something wasn't right. When he landed on the ground, he began to growl in pure heartbreak. He pounded against the wall of the well as tears were forced down his face.
"KAGOME!" He cried loudly.

"Get your own hanyou"
- That's why it's a fanfiction. I think she's 15 in the beginning of the series, but I haven't seen it all. I wouldn't know when Naraku was defeated since I haven't seen every episode. If you're referring to the part in the movie (I think it was the second movie), then he didn't really die. He faked his death.
"Kiryou Samurai"
- I have the intention of having 100 reviews for every story I have. So, more is nice, but the minimum of 9 will give me about 100 like I hope for. Because only I know how many chappies there are! Mwuhahahahahaha!
Poor Inuyasha. I will be working on the free chapters ASAP. Just, SLOW DOWN IN YOUR REVIEWS!
I'll never catch up at this rate!
Next Chapter: Finding Out
Reviews Needed: 45
