Chapter 6-A Travel Back in Time

It had been two days since he had gone to Kagome's room to wake her from her terrors. What had she been dreaming of he wondered quietly as he sat under the same tree in the park looking around. This had become a frequent place for him to sit and rest. Well, maybe it was more of a place to stop and recap on his thoughts, most of his Kagome. Wait…HIS Kagome…she had yelled at him to get lost. She hated him. He would never be hers…because she didn't want him. He didn't want to hurt her…so why did he always seem to? This question had been haunting his saddened mind forever…even before this whole mess had started. Now he sat here in the shade, even though the sun was partially hidden away behind thick but white clouds. He had been thinking something else. It was a hard question and he wasn't quite sure why it continued to plague his mind. The question was if he had done the right thing in giving up his power. It didn't make Kagome any happier. She still seemed to despise him, human ears, nose, and all. Of course, then again she hadn't even looked back at him. He wondered aloud, "Is she still mad…what am I saying. Kagome can hold a grudge longer than anyone could live out," he sighed," I'm a dead mortal walking." He laid back against the tree staring up into the branches slowly the effect of fatigue taking him over as his eyelids drooped down becoming heavy till he fell asleep.

With Kagome

She looked out her bedroom window. A small amount of sunlight flickered in and then disappeared. She sighed; it was the weekend…yet she didn't feel right. It wasn't right. She didn't belong here… she belonged in the Sengoku Jidai with InuYasha. She paused…and Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, um…um…darn outta people. Her mind hadn't left InuYasha. She had his face stamped in permanent marker in her mind. Something was wrong. She just knew it. Why was he so urgent to talk to her? Why hadn't she turned around? Why was she so mad again? Why did he have to be like he was when she loved him so much? Why, why, WHY? The sound of knocking on her bedroom door brought her screaming mind back to place as her mom looked in on her. "Kagome, I'm going with Souta and Grandpa to get some groceries and snacks. Do you want to come? Get your mind off of…everything." Her mom looked at her and smiled happily hoping her daughter would come to get out of her mood. Kagome looked at her and blinked then looked out the window noticing the sun was beginning to come out. She quietly looked at her mom and said," Um…no I don't think so mom I have a lot of homework yet to do." She put on a happy smile to satisfy her mother. Mrs. Higurashi looked at her daughter and after a second nodded and smiled. "Alright honey, there's some water bottles in the fridge and a few things left in the cabinet…along with some ramen for InuYasha." She winked and smiled. Good-bye Kagome, have a good time doing your homework. Do well. If your home when we get back ;I'll make some Nabemono (Japanese stew). After this she left taking along with her, her large pink purse that she took every time she went shopping. When Kagome heard the car engine start and then pull out of the driveway and down the street she stopped listening quietly. She waited till she couldn't hear it anymore then got up and went downstairs to the kitchen. She opened up the fridge and got a bottle of water. She opened it and drank some then closed it up and brought it back up to her room. On her way there she stopped noticing her brother's room door open. She didn't know why she went in but nevertheless she did. She opened the door slightly more and looked around. She hadn't been in Souta's room in a while. He had redecorated. Now there were pictures drawn by him of his hero hanyou. They covered the walls. She looked over to a particular one and smiled. It was a photo she had taken of InuYasha and Souta. She walked toward the picture staring at it. It was a picture of InuYasha and Souta playing together in the backyard. She laughed despite of herself and her mood. She had never seen InuYasha seem so playful, so innocent…so sweet. She shook this thought from her head and looked to the picture one more time before leaving the room making sure to leave the door as it had been. She headed back up to her room and flung herself onto her bed. She closed her eyes after taking another swig of the cool, refreshing water. After a bit she opened her eyes and stared up at her ceiling the questions filling her mind once again. Not only that, a new one. Should she stay here?

HEY! Incase I forgot to add any disclaimers here's one. I don't own InuYasha. THERE! Well wait for next time. ARIGATO AND BYE BYE!
