Thank you soooo much for the comments everyone I really appreciate it. I'm updating today just as I promised!
Chapter Four
Dawn
Kagome had never really understood what the expression, 'a head so full it could burst' until that night. Inuyasha had told her such a large amount of information that her head felt as if it were going to burst. Her train of thoughts was blurred and interrupted by question after question. 'What's a demon? What is a tetsusaiga? Do I have a family?' Kagome asked herself she sat cross-legged on her cushiony sleeping bag, 'I've got to stop this, I'll ask Inu- what's his name again? Inuiki… Inuya… Inuyasha! Yes, that's his name. What an odd name... Get back on track Kagome! I've got to ask him more questions tomorrow. For now I just have to absorb all this information. I can't bight off more than I can chew.' With that Kagome yawned and tucked herself snuggly under her sleeping bag. "Goodnight," she mumbled as her eyelids slid over her big blue eyes. Inuyasha looked up and replied with a sheepish grin, "Yah… Goodnight, you need the rest. You're such an airhead." Kagome would have rolled her eyes if they were open, but instead she ignored him. He was such a jerk.
Inuyasha stared hard at the lump of blanket in front of him. Just two days ago they had still shared so many memories. Inuyasha looked up into the dark starry sky. He remembered just a week ago they were having one of their regular fights. Inuyasha closed his eyes and reminisced.
Kagome blinked her eyes open and pounded her fist on the ground with frustration. Kagome had woken up two hours ago and since then she was unable to fall asleep again. She had woken up, drenched in sweat, because of a nightmare. In her nightmare a man with swallow skin and dark hair had tried to steal some rock from her and kill her. Kagome shook her head in annoyance, it was almost dawn anyways. She slowly sat up and yawned. She felt a shiver run down her spine, it was quite chilly outside. She quickly got up and walked to the cliff/hill overlooking the water. The idea of watching the sun rise over the water sounded good to her. She could feel the cool damp earth on the palms of her feet as she walked to the top of the hill. The long damp grass brushed against her legs, giving her a chill. She reached the top of the hill and looked over to the horizon. Right above the water in the distance a line of red streaked the sky, hinting that morning was approaching. Strong gusts of the wind swayed the grass and blew the hair out of Kagome's face. Kagome sat down on the edge of the hill, right above the water and let the wind brush past her face. She put her hands back so she could lean back, but a sharp rock or pebble pricked her finger. Kagome gasped and put her finger in her mouth. Her thoughts then turned to that odd boy; Inuyasha. Kagome let a small smile creep across her face, 'He's soooo hot,' thought Kagome dreamily, 'If only he was nicer."
"Kagome" said Inuyasha from behind her, "Did something happen? I smelled your blood and heard you…"
Kagome twisted around to face him "Oh, I'm fine."
Inuyasha shrugged, walked over, and plopped himself down beside her.
'I wonder what he's thinking,' thought Kagome as she stared at him.
Inuyasha looked up and Kagome quickly turned her head back to the sunrise.
"What are you doing out here anyways?" asked Inuyasha.
Kagome shrugged, "I couldn't sleep."
Inuyasha nodded and stared out at the sunrise, "Feh."
Kagome grinned, "I've only known you for like a day and I've got to say you're a bit predictable."
Inuyasha's ears flicked up her chuckled, "Nope, I'm full of surprises."
"Prove it."
Inuyasha turned his head to face her. Was he dreaming?
"Prove it," repeated Kagome.
"Alright," said Inuyasha as he got up to his feet.
He pulled off his red shirt, revealing a white one underneath. Kagome looked up in horror. What was he doing? Stripping? Gaaah. She took one bum step back. Inuyasha smirked, he took his white shirt off, so he was wearing nothing but pants. 'He has nice abs..." thought Kagome, "Gah! Kagome woman pull yourself together! What are you thinking? What is he doing?' Kagome shook her head to wake herself up, she would not let herself be infatuated with this arrogant, confrontational, mean guy! 'That's right! Don't forget he called you an airhead and a wench!' Kagome told herself.
"I meant do something unexpected… Not get naked," said Kagome flustered.
Inuyasha looked a bit taken aback, but then gave her a little mysterious look, "And what if doing something unexpected is getting naked!"
'Ahh he's actually striping!' Kagome thought to herself as she gaped in horror.
Inuyasha burst out laughing, it was the first time she had seen him let loose.
A flustered Kagome got to her feet to leave.
"Wait, wait" said Inuyasha gasping for breath between laughing, "That's not what I was going to do,"
"Then what were you going to do?" asked Kagome angrily.
"This," said Inuyasha as he dove off the cliff/hill and into the water.
Kagome laughed, but despite this she thought bitterly to herself, 'I'm so stupid!'
She got on her knees and peeked over the edge into the water, 'Where is he?'
"Inuyasha!" she called.
She got up and called his name again, still looking into the water.
"Boo!" said Inuyasha from behind her as he pushed her into the water.
Kagome fell into the water, it hit her like…well like a blast of cold water. !
She bobbed at the surface, her hair was flat against her head making her ears more prominent than ever.
"Inuyasha you… you jerk!" she yelled up at him.
Inuyasha was standing right at the edge of the cliff, looking down at her, hands on his hips.
Inuyasha leaned over the cliff to make sure Kagome could see his face, "You're such an ai-"
"SIT!" yelled Kagome triumphantly.
Inuyasha plummeted into the water.
"Ahhhh! You wench!" he said as he came back up.
"What did you call me?" asked Kagome playfully.
"I called you a WENCH!" said Inuyasha angrily.
"Nono that's not what you said… right?" said Kagome smirking as she tried to tread water to keep her head above the surface.
Inuyasha slammed his fist into the water sending water everywhere "You heard me! I called you a-"
"Sit!" said Kagome as she swam to the edge of the cliff. She started climbing the surface of the cliff to get back onto the hill.
"You… you," Inuyasha didn't finish his sentence, he knew better.
He started to climb the edge of the cliff, following Kagome.
"Nice view!" he mumbled sarcastically (Kagome's butt was in his face, she's a very slow climber even as a hanyou).
Kagome stuck a leg out and kicked him in the face. She then stretched to get the top of the cliff so she could pull herself back onto its grassy surface.
"Not so fast!" said Inuyasha grabbing her leg in an attempt to pull her back into the water.
Kagome sunk her claws into the rock face, he managed to pull her down a couple inches leaving claw marks in its surface.
Kagome chuckled; she never realized how useful her claws were.
After the two of them managed to get up to the top of the hill they resumed watching the sunrise.
"The sun should be peeking through anytime now," said Kagome smiling.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "Why do you want to watch the sunrise?"
Kagome shrugged, "I just like to watch the sunrise, it's like something inside of me is telling me to watch it."
"You're so weird,"
Kagome rolled her eyes.
A few seconds passed it was almost completely quiet except for the sound of the water dripping from their wet bodies.
"The sun takes a long time to rise,"
"I know," said Kagome.
Inuyasha nodded, he has nothing to say.
The two of them sat in comfortable silence watching for the sun to peek from the edge of the horizon. The sun just about to peek out from the line of the horizon and all the colors of the color spectrum decorated the sky.
Just as a blade of white light peeked out and hit Kagome's face something about her changed. Inuyasha flinched, she smelled different… She smelled human. He looked down at her. To his surprise a familiar set of smoky brown eyes peered up at him. Kagome turned to face him, "Inuyasha I missed you so much," she said as she reached over to hug him. "Kagome you're almost human," said Inuyasha, the sound barely left his lips. Something else about this Kagome was different too. Her expression, the manner in which she talked to him, her tone of voice… Did she remember everything?
Ahhhk what happened to her! Tune into the next chapter to find out!
