Chapter 2 (You all wanted more, so your wish has been granted!)(:Low bow:)- The All Powerful Fu Fu!
Chapter 2
Kagome dropped to the ground below the tree, and was about to make a wild dash for the well, when a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist. Spinning her around, and pinning her to her fathers chest, her backpack falling to the ground.
"Running away?" Sneered Mr. Higurashi.
"N- no" She stuttered back.
"Then why don't you join us in the kitchen for dinner, and we can discuss later..." He tightened his grip around her painfully. "...about where you were going" He let her go. And started walking towards the shrine.
Kagome thought for one second about trying for the well, but her fathers voice hovered across the pavement. "Don't even think about going anywhere, ever again, without my permission."
She sighed as she followed him into the house.
'Where is she? she was supposed to be back...okay, not till tomorrow, but how long do those tests usually take anyways? She could have come back tonight!' Inuyasha raged, as he paced back and forth, under the crescent moon, beside the ancient bone eaters well.
'it's her fault the jewel shattered in the first place, and now she's taking her sweet time in collecting the shards! Why can't she just stay here till we finish? It's not like the rest of us have a life bedside's collecting the jewel. It's not our fault she has so called, "other responsibility's"! Why doesn't she just come back home to me and... Wait! Where did that come from?' Inuyasha scowled at his mental slip. He tried not to say things like that, even in his mind, because if he got used to it, he would start saying it out loud, witch would not be good at all.
You see, Inuyasha, had already come to terms with the fact, that he was in love with the Miko from the future. And that he wanted to take her as his mate. Eventually.
He would never say such things to her, or to anyone. What would she want with a worthless, little half-breed like him? Sure she never slandered him while they were friends, but, a relationship? Yeah right. It will never happen. He'd pretty much given up before he ever started hoping. But that didn't stop his love growing, or showing occasionally.
He fully planned to ask her when they defeat Naraku. Until then, he had to keep his yap shut, and his hands to himself.
Inuyasha took one last glare at the well, before running as fast as he could to the Goshinboku, and jumping in it's branches, waiting for the dawn, that would bring with it, not only the light of the world, the sun. But the light of his life. Kagome.
Kagome moved around the noodles in her bowl with her chopsticks, absentmindedly trying to decide what to do, while listening to everything her father said. Hoping to hear something incriminating, but knowing it was hopeless. Her Chichioya was a master at stealth.
He was currently describing New York city to Souta, about the statue of liberty and such. Souta was laughing, and asking question enthusiastically, while her mother smiled. But Grandpa at least, seemed to be on her side. He glared every time his grandson laughed particularly loud, and wasn't speaking at all.
"So Kagome, are you gonna bring Inuyasha to come meet Chichioya?" Asked Souta. Shaking her out of her thoughts.
"Who's Inuyasha? A boyfriend?"
"A friend" She replied quickly. "I don't think so Souta" The n she returned to examining her dinner.
When Mrs. Higurashi excuse the table, Kagome practically ran up to her bedroom, and closed the door behind her. Trying to pry her fathers laughing face out of her memory.
Her father, didn't look anything like her, he had light brown hair, and blue eyes. Sometimes, when she was little, she would hope and pray that she wasn't related to him. She'd asked her Mother once, and Mrs. Higurashi was furious, but had insisted that she was her fathers daughter. And her and Mr. Higurashi had had a fight that evening. But nothing had ever come of it.
Kagome sat on her bed for hours, as memory, after memory, nightmare after nightmare, washed over her, like waves over the sea. Things she had tried her hardest to forget, to leave in the past, but when did ones mind ever obey there wishes?
Suddenly, at around 1o'clock in the morning, her doorknob started rattling. Like someone was trying to get in. She sunk back against the wall behind her bed, burring her face in her pillow. Just one evening with her father had brought back all the old fears.
The rattling stopped. And she breathed a sigh of relief, as she heard her fathers footsteps fading down the hall. Until she heard them coming back, then there was a click, and her door swung open.
Her Chichioya was standing in the doorway, framed by the darkness of the hall behind him. He stepped inside, and close the door, with a sickening click.
He then, stepped across the room towards her, and with a hateful sneer on his usually handsome face, he grabbed her pillow, and twisted it out of her grasp.
"Get up" He said coldly. She stared at him in defiance.
"On your feet, or you'll wish you'd never been born you Whore!" He whispered fiercely. This time she listened.
As soon as she was standing up straight in front of him, he slapped her across the face.
She winced at the stinging, as he started to speak. "That was for disrespecting me in front of my family!"
He slapped her again. "That's for trying to run away"
Again. "And that's for locking your door you bitch!"
She stood there with her hand on her red, and burning cheek. As he glared at her.
"Even more pretty then back then, aren't you, you little slut!" He said, as he gripped her chin roughly in one hand, looking her over skepticly.
He stepped over towards the door, but turned right before stepping out. "Don't even think about gong anywhere without my permission. And..." He smiled venomously. " Tell anyone, and your brother comes with me, where ever I go" He then left, closing the door behind him.
Kagome woke at the break of dawn the next morning. Totally disregarding her fathers remark last night, she grabbed her bag, and rushed to the door.
Locked. Damn.
She turned to the window, and slid it open, before climbing down the tree outside, just like last night. Only this time, she got to where she was going.
She felt the familiar aura of the time slip surround her, as she jumped into the well.
She had no intention of saying a word to anyone. They didn't need to know she couldn't defend herself against her own father. Inuyasha would just call her a weak human. Or worst, come over to her time, and get in a fight. She couldn't have that, her father would just hit her harder.
She landed on the other side, and took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh air. Just as she left it. She climbed out of the well, and was almost at the top, when a clawed hand came down, and grabbed hers, pulling her out of the well.
"And where have you been?" Inuyasha sneered. Crossing his arms under the sleeves of his Kimono, in the traditional, Inuyasha pose.
"What's that supposed to mean? I'm back early!" She protested.
"You could have come back last night!"
"What good would that have done! It's not like we always go hunting for jewel shards in the dead of night!" She continued to defend her early arrival, but not early enough for him obviously.
"So what? Had it ever occurred to you that maybe..." He suddenly stopped speaking. As if he had thought better of his words. "...Feh. Come on, lets get back to the village" He then said, calmly, as he turned around and started walking in the direction of Kaedes hut.
'What was that about?' Kagome wondered. As she followed him. In the meantime, the hanyou ahead of her was having a mental battle.
'Why did you do that? you idiot! You almost slipped, and what were you doing there at the crack of dawn! you are such and idiot! Now she's gonna suspect something, she's gonna ask you about that. you just set yourself up for a lot of annoying questioning.' Inuyasha glowered at his own stupidity.
