I'll come with you

Kagome's shoulders slumped as she walked from the well. Her spirit was obviously low, but for what reason no one knew but her. She didn't rush to see her friends but instead took her time on getting to the village.
Inuyasha, not being far from the well, noticed she was back first. His heart raced as he noticed her in the clearing. He also noticed her spirit level. It wasn't just by sight. Her scent was no longer happy and full of spunk. Her eyes were also different. They didn't' shine like they used to. They were dimmed. Her body language talked to him above all. She was looking down at her feet and her feet struggled along. It looked like she hadn't slept all night! It hurt him to see her so depressed.
He emerged from the bushes and yelled her name to get her attention. "Oi! Kagome!"
Kagome turned around. She sighed. The tone in his voice told her she really didn't want to deal with him right then.
"'Bout time! What took ya?" Inuyasha placed his hands on his hips, his usual dominate stance.
Kagome only looked away and drifted back into thought.
Inuyasha realized that being himself wasn't going to help the situation but he wasn't ready to go softy.
"Did you get my Ramen?"
Kagome nodded slowly.
Damn… Inuyasha cursed inside. "What's wrong?"
Kagome looked up at him in sudden tears. She dropped her backpack and flung herself to him.
Inuyasha, of course, was surprised. If she this out of character, some thing was terribly wrong! He could feel their bodies growing closer as she squeezed a handful of his jacket. He took a quick look around to assure it was clear before wrapping his arms around her. He could feel her sobbing heavily in his chest.
"What's wrong," He asked again, gentler.
Kagome went to wipe her tears away but Inuyasha beat her to it. He pulled her down onto the ground and into his lap. Both sat in silence. Birds chirped happily in the distance. Soon, it looked like Kagome had gone back into her own little depressing world.
"Kagome," He finally said. He was sick of waiting. "What the fuck is wrong? You can't say nothing because you're never like this! Dammit! Tell me what's wrong!"
Kagome shuddered at his harsh outburst. More tears flooded her rosy cheeks.
Inuyasha instantly realized his mistake and felt awful. He pulled her back into his lap and held her close. "Come on, Kagome," he rubbed her shoulders. "You know I don't like it when you cry."
Kagome did try to stop. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be," he smirked. "You didn't do anything wrong."
It was quiet again. The sun was beginning to set as the sky began to give of beautiful, soft colors.
"He died," she whispered.
"Huh?"
"While I was gone, Grandpa got sick and passed while I was gone!"
Tear began to flow again but Inuyasha had no intention of stopping them. He knew how much Grandpa meant to Kagome. He held her tighter.
"I'm almost afraid to go to his funeral." She chocked. "It's tomorrow."
Inuyasha placed his chin on top of her head. "Would it help if I joined you?"
Kagome moved so she could look up at him with her red, swollen eyes. "Would you?"
Inuyasha nodded. "If it'd make you feel better."
Kagome coughed a thank you.
"Great," Inuyasha chuckled. "Now you're sick. Come-on, lets go back to your time so you can get ready and better."
Not all of my short stories are going to be this long. I am goint to be doing these for a while. R & R please!
