Chapter 3: death, blood, tragedy
InuYasha stared down at the shaking lump pressed against his chest. His first reaction...'What the...?'. Bringing himself back down to earth, he realized that the girl was crying. InuYasha stared dumbfounded, then he realized that he had no clue what to do. He continued staring, then flinged her off of his body.
"What the heck do ya think you're doing?" he yelled, angered. Kagome sat on the ground where she had been thrown in dazed surprise. One minute, she felt safe, the next, betrayed. Her eyes filled with hate and anger and tears continued to leak out. Frusttration overcame her and she got to her feet and stomped toward InuYasha. Shoving a finger in his chest, she yelled, "Who do you think you are?".
"Me? Excuse me! But I was the one being mollested!" InuYasha stated. Kagome sat in dumb silence, then more tears ran down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry! I didn't meen to make you undomfortable or anything! I didn't know" and again she was dissolved into tears. Inuyasha stared incredulusly at the girl in front of him. He didn't want this to be all his fault. He hated himself for making her cry.
"Look, i'm sorry. I didn't meen to make you cry" he said, stumbling over words. Kagome drew her eyes away from his and stared at her feet. "No, don't be. I was just being stupid. I really have to go" she said, turning to leave. InuYasha rushed forward and grabbed her arm. "Why not tell me what's wrong?" InuYasha suggested when they met eyes again. Kagome nodded her head saddly and they walked off to the ocean shore, where they could talk. They sat cross-legged on the stones (or Kagome did, not InuYasha) and facing each other.
"So..."InuYasha started off. "What could have been so horrible that you feel the need to mollest me?". Kagome sighed. "I don't know why I even bothered. It's not like you could even begin to understand" she said doubtfully. "Try me" InuYasha shot back.
"Well my dad died today. We were really close. I guess I just couldn't handle leaving him" she said, crying at the thought. "Is that all?" InuYasha asked hottly. "Feh, grow up. People come and people go! Get used to it!" he said. practically shouting.
That was it. Kagome stood up and slapped InuYasha across the face, hand raised as if to strike again. Deciding better, she walked away, turning back for a moment to say "How would you feel if your whole family just died" and was about to walk away when something cold got her from behind, InuYasha spoke up. "How would you feel if I told you they just did?" he said codly.
Kagome looked up, shocked. "That's not something to joke about" she said in a low voice. "Who's joking?" InuYasha yelled in a rough voice, punching a dent in the rock beneath him and running off.
Kagome felt her knees go weak, and fell. Frantically, she thought, 'Oh my gosh! What have I done?" and cried harder, this time the tears not only for her. 'I'm such a freak' she thought miserably.
InuYasha felt a pang in his stomach. 'Oh great. so now I feel guilty'. Sighing, he ran back to where he left Kagome feeling worse then ever, and to top it all off, she was crying. He sped towards her and took her hand in his.
"Kagome, i'm sorry. I was a jerk. I shouldn't have said those things" he muttered. Kagome lifter her eyes to meet his, and then a pain shot through his hand...she fricken clawed him! "You should be! I hate you! Jerk!" she was about to run away when she was pulled back again. "Stop it! You're making me look nice!" InuYasha shot. "Well that would be an improvement!" Kagome yelled, and was about to slap him again when he stopped her.
InuYasha got fed up. "Why don't you just go home to daddy's cold body? There might still be some stench left". he commented. Kagome's eyes burned with hatred and loathing. Without warning she brought her fist down across his face, hard.
"Oh no! You don't want daddy to see his little girl acting like that do you?" InuYasha said in feigned caring. Kagome walked over to him and kicked where it hurt. InuYasha fell to the ground, groaning in pain. Triumphantly, Kagome walked home to be alone, and to let InuYasha recover.
Miroku finally found his way out of the bathroom (yes he was there all this time...I just failed to mention it) and saw InuYasha on the ground. He hurried over and bent down. "What happened?" he asked. "Kagome happened" InuYasha muttered through gritted teeth. "I think I can stand again" he said happily. "Why'd she do that?" Miroku wondered. "I was a jerk" InuYasha said "and that's all you need to know". Miroku scratched the back of his head. "Why?" "Because!". "Let's go home" Miroku suggested.
"Wait! I have a plan!" InuYasha gasped. "Go apologize to Kagome, from me" he said hopefully. "What the heck did you do that you feel that need that you need to apologize?" Miroku asked cluelessly. "I said something" InuYasha said. "Well that could've done it" Miroku answered, earning a smack in the head.
Finally they arrived at Kagome's house and knocked on the door. A young woman with bloodshot eyes answered the door. "What do you want?" she almost screamed. InuYasha exchanged nervous glances with Miroku, then found his voice.
"Is Kagome home?" he asked incredibly nervous. "No. She came home crying, got something from her room and left again. Her dad just died an hour ago, it hasn't been a very good day for her" her mother said. "Is there anything I can do for you boys?" she asked. "No. We'll just leave" Miroku said for InuYasha.
"Crap. She'll never forgive me. We have to look for her. I have to apologize to her or i'll never sleep again". So they went and looked all over town. Kagome was nowhere to be seen. Finally they went to Kathryn's Bridge and saw Kagome on the wrong side of the bar, hysterical.
"Frig! Kagome! Don't do it!" InuYasha yelled, running over to her and grabbing her arm, which he now saw had several fresh cuts. "Get away from me! Get away or i'll jump!" she warned. "No! Nobody want you to kill yourself" InuYasha said frantically.
"Nobody said they didn't! And you made it pretty clear that you didn't give a frig! So let me jump! It'll make both of our days!" she yelled, cutting a new one in her arm and throing the card board cutter into the ocean.
InuYasha grabbed her arm and wiped away the blood. "No!" he said. "That's not the way out. If it was don't you think I would have tried by now?" InuYasha soothed. "Don't. Please" he begged.
"Why do you care so much suddenly?" Kagome asked angrily. "Because I was amd and I didn't meen to say anything I did. I can see that I was being a jerk and i'm sorry. You're a beautiful girl and I want to get to know you. But how am I supposed to do that if you jump? What inspiration will I have to get up in the morning?" he said, speaking truthfully.
"That's the stupident thing i've ever heard" Kagome said, getting closer to the edge. "And it's not true" she concluded. "You just met me, you can't call me a liar." InuYasha said, smiling. Kagome looked into his amber eyes and could only see truth.
