Chapter 4
InuYasha looked around the family shrine trying to find Kagome. "She just jumped into the well! She couldn't have gotten far on her wimpy human legs." He thought to himself, deciding to look outside the shrine. He stepped out into the sun, the, he saw her. There was Kagome, talking to some guy at the gate. Suddenly, Kagome looked away from her conversation and saw InuYasha.
Excusing herself from him for a moment, she ran over to InuYasha and pulled him into the privacy of the shrine. "What do you think; I need you babysitting me all day? Why'd you follow me!" she asked, sounding very impatient.
"Well, you ran off when I was trying to ask you what Koga-" he started explaining but was cut off by Kagome shrill response, "No! I'll answer your questions when I want. I told you why I came back, so wait in your time for me." she said angrily.
"Sure, you gave us an excuse for why you came back here, but that's not the truth." He said, pausing to look down into Kagome's eyes, "I'm not stupid. What you told us you couldn't care less whether we believe you. It's just a lie to yourself to make you feel better." He said, feeling rather proud of himself for putting what he was thinking into words…that is, until he saw Kagome's teary eyes.
"That's not true!" she screamed, stomping her foot and feeling a tear roll down her cheek. She quickly wiped her eyes and ran out the door, leaving InuYasha to think and stare after her.
Kagome climbed onto the boy's bike pegs and rode away, smiling, like her conversation seconds ago had never happened. InuYasha sat down on the floor and waited for Kagome to get back. When she finally got back, InuYasha jumped up from the floor and ran over to her calling her name, "Kagome!", but she had already made it into the house, ignoring him the whole way and apparently intending to do so until he left. "How ignorant can someone get! All I want is to talk." He said to himself, sitting back down on the shrine floor.
A few hours later, Kagome's little brother, Sota, looked out the window and saw InuYasha. Sota came running out, as always with a small smile on his face. "Hey InuYasha! What are you doing here?"
"Go get Kagome. I need to talk to her." InuYasha said, trying not to sound too impatient.
"Okay. Be right back!" he said happily, running back to the house again. About 5 minutes later, he came back out, looking quite confused.
"She said she wasn't going to come out and talk to you ever as long as you're here…..then she threw her pillow at me." He said, looking not as confused now that he had delivered his message.
"So ignorant! Well, tell her to come back soon or I'll come get her." He replied, turning and jumping into the well.
