Watashi no Musume
Chapter 12- Fighting

The branch flung at Kagome tearing another small hole in the sleeve of her shirt. It was cold and somewhat breezy. How so much air could travel freely in a forest as dense as this Kagome did not know but continued stomping through the trees and bushes.

She reached a small clearing and was surprised to see that somewhere in this deep dark forest there was a small hill completely bathed in moonlight. Kagome laid down on the grass and took in a deep breath.

After a long while, a priestess appeared onto the clearing and walked across it paying no attention to Kagome. They didn't so much as look at each other. Kagome kept her eye on the stars that competed with the bright moon.

"what are you doing here?" Kikyou was about to pull away some branches along the clearing edge when Kagome spoke. It seemed to pain Kikyou to give even a thought to the girl but stood her ground.

"I should be asking the same for you. Tell me what are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for Inuyasha… Haven't seen him have you?"

"So he's here, is he?" Kikyou smirked.

"Yes and I would like to know were he is!" Kagome was becoming frustrated. The tension between the two was unbearable. Still Kagome kept eye contact with the sky.

"We don't talk anymore. Seems the stupid boy has a liking for young mikos. A year after the fight he had the nerve enough to stand up for you."

Kikyou didn't stick around for Kagome's reply. She was gone in an instant, but Kagome didn't care. She got back up and forced her way through the forest as well.

Inuyasha lifted his nose in the air. So many smells crowded the space around him. But two smells stood out the most. Kikyou was near by, but he no longer cared for Kikyou like he did back in the old days.
About a year after Kagome left Kikyou came to Inuyasha but as a living human. She told the hanyou how she brought herself back to life with a jewel shard they collected. Unfortunate for Kikyou, Inuyasha was in a sulking mood as it was almost the 1 year anniversary of the fight...

"Don't tell me you're still upset over that stupid girl!"

"She's not stupid!" Inuyasha jumped up nearly growling.
Kikyou's expression didn't change one bit.

"You're just about as stupid as her."They never talked since.

The second smell was Kagome. As soon as Inuyasha smelled this he sprang up and charged for the woods.It didn't take long to find the girl. She was surprisingly close and didn't seem to be moving very fast. As soon as Inuyasha spotted her he ran to the miko screaming and yelling.

"What are you doing here!"

"Looking for you!"

"I can take care of myself you know!"

"And I cant!"

"Not with that leg!" It was just as Inuyasha said this all feeling in her leg sprang back to life. When trying to rearrange her foot into a less painful position the rough root covered floor caused her to slip. Inuyasha caught the miko instantly and the carried her on his back out of the woods.

The edge of the woods was actually more of a cliff. With only about a meter or two of treeless space. Over the cliff you could see dozens on other forests and a river with a village on each side. It was very faint but if you looked closely you could see a small glimpse of the morning sun. Inuyasha walked along the edge of the cliff back to camp and Kagome (still on his back) adored the view before her.

"Inuyasha…. I'm sorry ok." Kagome hated admitting that she was wrong but if it would stop Inuyasha and her from fighting it was worth it.

"Feh." The hanyou kept his sulking mood.

"I should of let you talk and then I ran away. You must be so mad."

"What are you talking about!"

"The fight… five years ago… remember! The reason I was gone!" Kagome was waving her arms while saying this and nearly fell off but then quickly wrapped her arms around the hanyou's neck choking him.

"The point is" Kagome continued. "Everyone suffered because of me."

"What are you talking about. Who suffered?"

"Oh common! Don't tell me that you missed me at least a little bit! I know about Kikyou…. Why did you stand up for me!"

The truth is Inuyasha didn't even know what he was saying when he yelled at Kikyou. Inuyasha was in such a bad mood as was ready to beat Kagome to the ground if her saw her. But when he hears those insulting words from Kikyou… An image of the smiling Kagome flashed in his head and he couldn't help but defend her.

"I wasn't ever really mad at you ya know. I thought you were mad at me." The hanyou said this so quietly that he was surprised that Kagome understood him.

"So it's agreed then… Were no longer mad."

A:n Only 2 chapters left! I'm almost sad to see the story go!
If any of you have some suggestions for another story just tell me and I will see what I can do. I would be more that thrilled to write for you but I need a plot first!
