Disclaimer: YAY! I got reviews for my other humorous story!
Naraku: DAMN! That was soo embarrassing! Not funny!
InuYasha: (laughing on the ground) Yes it was!
Kagome: Jeeze, it was a simple alarm clock, Naraku. Just press the button.
Naraku: I don't know how to work those-those-those things from your world. "Press the button," she says. I didn't even see the button! Besides, InuYasha couldn't turn it off either.
InuYasha: (stops laughing) …
Kagome: He's dense so at least he has a reason.
Kagura: So, what's your reason, Naraku?
Naraku: Uh…me dense too?
InuYasha: Nope, that's my reason.
Kagome and Kagura: (sweatdrop, sigh) maybe he's just…
Naraku: I'm what?
Kagura: Uhm…
Kagome: Stupid.
InuYasha: (starts laughing again) Yeah, that's it! Naraku is just stupid!
Naraku: (glares at everyone)
Everyone: (shuts up)
Shel: O…kay…well, c-c-can I just, you know, finish this thing?
InuYasha: Please.
Shel: RIGHT! So I don't own any of these characters in this disclaimer; (gets out very long list) AHEM! (Deep breath then says everything really fast) Sango, Shippo, Kagura, Kanna, Kirara, Naraku, Totosai, Kikyou, Kouga, those soul collector things, Kagome, Souta, Kagome's mom and Grampa, (takes deep breath) Sesshomaru, Rin, Jaken, Eri, Ayumi, Yuka, OR anything else mentioned in this story EXCEPT Yumi because she's my character. If I did not mention a name in this disclaimer, it's illegal. (Puts list away and wipes forehead) Whew.
Miroku: Y-you didn't say my name.
Shel: I'm working on you…ileeeeegally.
InuYasha: Yay! Miroku!
Miroku: InuYasha! (Hugs) We need help!
InuYasha: There's no escaping her…trust me…
Shel: Now that that's out of the way, On to the story!
More than anything in the whole wide world, the one thing that Kagome wanted to do was to return home. But three things were stopping her; Yumi wasn't even in aura range anymore, the snow was making it too cold for her to even move, and if she went home without telling someone, InuYasha would worry more than ever. "But he deserves it. After what he said and did. But—." I don't think I want him to suffer. "Hmm. But I do want him to worry a little."
Settling back into the only spot of ground that was not covered in snow, Kagome desperately wished that she had some kind of lead on Yumi. But it was too cold for her to even think straight or think at all, so she settled in deeper against the tree to regain warmth back.
"Kagome is closer now. Her aura is right here somewhere." Miroku whispered to Sango and Shippo.
InuYasha's ear twitched but he pretended he hadn't heard Miroku. All right, this has gone on long enough. Kagome, whether you want to see me or not, I'm coming to find you. "You guys stay here."
Miroku, Sango, and Shippo looked up but InuYasha had already taken off. "Where's he going?"
Miroku sighed. "He's gone to find Kagome."
"About time."
It didn't take long since the snow had stopped falling but it was still equally cold, InuYasha had found Kagome huddled up by a tree; snow was matted in her dark wet hair with her head bowed down like she was asleep. "Kagome…"
Kagome looked up almost instantly but made sure she didn't even try to make eye contact with him.
InuYasha stepped out from within the trees and took two steps toward her before getting a cold glare then she turned her head away. "C'mon, Kagome. You're not still mad…are you?"
Silence.
"Look, Kagome, I know why you're upset but it wasn't what it looked like."
Silence.
"And I can't stand that you told me you hated me. It's tearing me apart. It…really hurt."
Silence still.
InuYasha knew he wasn't getting anywhere so he knelt in front of her, hoping Kagome would at least look at him. But his plan failed, and Kagome kept her head turned away from him. "Kagome, please, say something. Yell, scream, cry! Do something to show me that you don't hate me."
Silence. But Kagome did shift her weight and bite her bottom lip to keep herself from crying.
"That's a start. Anything else?"
Kagome finally looked up at him, her brown eyes swimming in tears. "InuYasha, my—my dad, he left me when I was little. I didn't know what to do. But I was confused as hell, because well…" Kagome pulled her hair to one side and behind her left ear was a long scar that went up and down that back of it.
"What happened?"
Kagome did her best to cover it back up and she just shrugged as her answer. But she sighed seeing InuYasha wasn't going to take that as his answer. "My dad yelled at me a lot InuYasha. He had problems I guess. But when I yelled back at him, he would hit me."
"Kagome…"
"But, that scar was the last time he ever hurt me. The pain was worth it if I never saw him again. The point is that he left me and I knew it was my entire fault. Over time I realized that he just left because he had the problems. I just didn't want that for Yumi. I'm sorry, InuYasha, I over reacted."
InuYasha kept his head down as if he was thinking to himself. (Kur0: …nah!) "No, you didn't react enough…"
"Hm?"
InuYasha lightly shook his head. "I had no idea, Kagome."
Kagome shrugged. "I never told anyone before."
"L-listen Kagome, Kagura said that Kikyou was back. I had to see it for myself. But she was the same as before and she had tried to kill her. This is entirely my fault. I thought she would change but…I was wrong."
"You wrong? One of those rare moments?"
"Don't even start with me. Now let's go." InuYasha got up but Kagome didn't move and was now looking past him. "I-InuYasha…"
"What is it?" InuYasha turned around to see what Kagome was looking at and he immediately saw it. A huge bear demon with glowing red eyes with thick quills up and down it's back and on the back of it's arms. Its claws were about half a foot thick and four feet long, and its entire self was about 14 feet tall!
Kagome sighed frustrated. "I hate you."
"Yeah well, at least you don't mean it this time." InuYasha replied whipping out the Tetsusaiga.
Perched on the giant bear demon's shoulder, Kagura sat there resting her chin in her left hand. "Well, it's about time you two found each other. We've been waiting." Kagura snickered. The bear demon let out a booming ferocious growl. Kagome shot to her feet. "W-W-Where's Yumi?" She asked nervously.
Kagura snickered again but this time it was more sinister and louder.
InuYasha kept himself from using the Wind Scar long enough for Kagura to answer Kagome and his question. "Alright, what did you do to her?"
Kagura flipped out her fan and chuckled again. "Oh, we took care of her." She said patting the bear demons' head. Kagome gasped clutching InuYasha sleeve. "What do you mean you took care of her?" InuYasha asked, almost not believing her.
Kagura scoffed. "You two idiots. Can you not take a joke? The girl is fine. I just got sick of her. Unfortunately for her, she has your talent of talking too much, Kagome, and InuYasha's smart comments thrown in; the perfect hell child."
InuYasha was about to say something but Kagome yelled up to Kagura, "Oh, yeah but wasn't that what Naraku had planned for you, you damned witch!"
InuYasha was a bit surprised at Kagome's reaction. "Kagome?"
Kagome's tone went from anger to regretful quick. "And I thought you were on our side."
A faint red glow from what looked like inside Kagura's heart triggered Kagome's attention but it quickly faded and Kagura covered it up with her fan. "I had an attitude adjustment. Besides, you should be happy, Kagome. Yumi is with Kikyou, but only because Kagura was tired of babysitting."
Kagome gasped again. "That's terrible!"
InuYasha agreed. "Yep. She's referring to herself in third person."
Kagome growled and slapped InuYasha hard upside the back of the head and he fell to the ground. "Ow. That's worse than a SIT!." He whimpered.
"Good!"
Kagura sighed. "This is so pathetic. Why don't you give them something to really fight about?" She said patting the bear's head again. It growled startling the two on the ground. It took a swipe at InuYasha but got Kagome's arm in the process. InuYasha leaped at the bear with the Tetsusaiga. "You bitch!"
Kagura stood up. "Now, now, InuYasha." Kagura let out two wind blades throwing InuYasha off track and he dodged them, missing the bear. Kagura laughed out loud. "Alright, since you're going to be serious about this, so am I."
InuYasha picked himself up and got ready to attack again when he saw Kagura squeeze something in her left hand, and it looked like most of the sacred jewel!
Kagome felt her shoulder throb and it wasn't because of the claw mark, but it was by her neck. "Oh no…" It's happening again.
This world, this world is cold
But you don't, you don't have to go
You're feeling sad you're feeling lonely
And no one seems to care
You're mother's gone and your father hits you
This pain you cannot bare
But we all bleed the same way as you do
We all have the same things to go thru
Hold on...if you feel like letting go
Hold on...it gets better than you know
Your days you say they're way too long
And your nights you can't sleep at all (hold on)
And you're not sure what you're looking for
But you don't want to no more
And you're not sure what you're waiting for but you don't want to no more
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through
Hold on...if you feel like letting go
Hold on...it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking you're one step closer
Don't stop searching it's not over...hold on
(Good Charlotte, "Hold on")
