Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha….but it would be pretty cool to.
Authors Note: Even though this story will seem to bash InuYasha's and Kagome's relationship, I really love the InuKag pairing. This is my first fanfiction that I've submitted, but I've written two previously…I just can't find them. Plz R&R Don't hurt me!
"Ever Since You Left Me"
Chapter 1
"Go home, Kagome!" InuYasha yelled as he followed close behind a young raven haired girl.
"Where do you think I'm going, baka!" Kagome yelled back to the hanyou. She put both hands on the lip of the well and turned back, "Don't come see me, I never want to see your face again!"
"I don't want to see yours either!" he replied as he turned around to face no one in particular. A small gust of wind blew in his face revealing angry, yet very sad eyes.
"Goodbye, InuYasha!" Kagome screamed. She jumped into the well and was engulfed in its teleporting darkness.
InuYasha looked back at the well that had swallowed whole his beautiful schoolgirl, "Bye, Kagome," he managed to say just above a whisper.
"Goodbye, InuYasha!" Her words rang through his mind like a broken record as he walked towards Kaede-babaa's hut, "Goodbye, InuYasha!" Her voice wouldn't stop.
That was about 2 years ago.
This is now……
InuYasha awoke to a growling, cackling voice outside his hut. He new the noise all too well, it was Naraku. Ever since Kagome left he had been attacked by Naraku almost weekly now. It was always tiring, one could also describe it as painstaking, but still they fought. They fought till they were too tired to move, took a few days to heal themselves, and continued to fight. There was no end to this cycle, no end to this madness.
Worst of all, InuYasha had lost all his friends. They all hated the hanyou for chasing Kagome away. Not even the kitsune stayed with him. No one ever visited him, and he was not welcome near Kaede-babaa's village anymore.
InuYasha sat by the fire, bandaging his wounds with what little supplies he had. The tired hanyou leaned back on the cave wall and closed his eyes. The little dog ears that adorned the top of his head twitched. It was raining outside.
'Just like that day,' he thought
Flashback
InuYasha turned to look at the well one more time. It was old, worn out, and it was rotting. The sky was grey, dark, and gloomy, until it became even darker as it started to rain. The little droplets tickled him. It was just like the sensation he felt when Kagome gently stroked his face. The feeling was wonderful, but all good things come to an end. It rained heavier. It soaked his fire rat kimono, through his under-kimono, and onto his pale skin.
It got cold out very quickly, despite it being the first week of summer. The hanyou turned and started to walk back to the hut, setting a slow pace, with his arms folded across his chest. Indeed it was cold, the rain felt like daggers, piercing his face. He walked past the Sacred Tree, which only brought back painful memories. He walked faster, quickening his pace into a slow run, nearing Kaede-babaa's hut. He had to face his friends sometime, why not now. Kaede-babaa opened the door….
End Flashback
"Ow," InuYasha groaned as he opened his eyes. He stared down at his trembling right arm, it was bleeding badly. 'Naraku…he must have used some kind of poison. The wound should have closed already, and I shouldn't have a headache,' he thought as he wiped some of the blood away.
He stared at the fire, his one source of warmth in his cold cave….his cold life.
Flashback
Kaede-babaa opened the door and InuYasha immediately felt the warmth from the fire. He quietly sat down by the fire, contemplating on how he could put into words the actions that took place earlier that evening. He looked at Kaede-babaa who went to her pot of boiling water, probably boiling it to make some stew for dinner. InuYasha reverted his gaze to Miroku only to find that the monk was already staring at him
"Care to tell us where Kagome-chan is?" the houshi asked.
InuYasha quickly looked back down at the fire, letting the question go unanswered. He more needed time to think. The flames danced along his face, making his eyes sparkle.
"Kagome…left," he said, never taking his eyes off the fire.
His friends looked at him. It wasn't like they haven't fought before, right? It wasn't like Kagome wasn't coming back, right? That's what they thought, but they would never realize how wrong they were.
"You should go check on her tomorrow morning, InuYasha. It would be the right thing to do," Sango suggested as she joined her friends by the fire.
"And even if he's too stubborn to…Kagome always comes back within 2 or 3 days," Miroku added with his all too famous lecherous grin.
"There's no rush!" Shippo said happily.
Miroku took this opportune moment to grope Sango's butt. The kitsune laughed the monk, who now sported a red handprint on his face. Even though he's seen Sango slap Miroku millions of times now, he still finds it funny.
Miroku noticed his hanyou friend's lack of emotion and asked, "Hey, InuYasha, are you feeling well?"
InuYasha continued to stare at the fire. He looked up at his friends and pulled out an almost whole Shikon no Tama from his kimono, "She's not coming back," he stated in a low tome.
End Flashback
InuYasha sighed and looked down at his battered kimono. "And I still have the jewel…" he said to himself.
InuYasha looked outside to see it was raining so heavily that it came into the cave.
