Inuyasha's p.o.v
Inuyasha sat on the straw-rock roof of the hut they were staying in, with Shippo by his side. The spring breeze greeted his face with it's warmth as did the beautiful sun. His silver, long, flowing hair blew behind him, and his nose rose to sniff the welcome scents of springtime. Shippo's brown tail moved with the wind, and Inuyasha was grateful that Shippo hadn't said a word to him yet today. The hut was small, but fit the 7 of them, nonetheless. Inside he heard Miroku, the perverted monk, and Sango, the demon slayer. She was very good as far as Inuyasha was concerned. But Sango spoke the words that caught his attentions.
"This is hardly the time MIROKU! Can't you get your mind out of the gutter for at least a day!" She screamed, and then a slap was herd, like a hand on skin and Miroku walked out of the hut with a fresh red hand mark on his left cheek.
" Ohhh…." he sighed, caressing his cheek, "how I love her anger sometimes!"
Inuyasha rolled his eyes as Miroku walked in the direction of the next village that could be seen from the door of their hut. He really didn't care about there problems right now; there was someone else on his mind.
She sure is taking a long time this time. Maybe I should go get her. No, that would seem too desperate. I don't want her to think I can't go on by myself. Besides, if we really needed someone to help us I could always go find Kikyo, right? But, why can't I stop thinking about Kagome. Each time we go somewhere or do something, I end up thinking, Kagome would have loved that or she so would have done that to. Uggh! I can't wait any longer. I let her have a whole 7 days this time! She had better be ready to come back when I get to that well! Inuyasha thought to himself. Then a thought flew through his mind,what if Kagome's in trouble! The thought struck him like she had just said "sit"! He jumped off the roof and headed for the well that connected the feudal era to Kagome's time. He was just close enough to hear Shippo, the fox demon yell " Inuyasha where are you going?" before he was out of earshot and into the woods.
Sure Kagome could be a stubborn girl sometimes, and practically all they ever did was fight, but still he was always worried about her safety. Just as he approached the well he felt eyes following him, he stopped dead in his tracks and looked around. No sign of anything other than trees. He walked over to the well, put on hand on the side and swung his feet in. When entering the well, it felt a lot like flying. The rush of wind in your ears the bright light from beneath you and the feeling that you're floating in one place. But then you get knocked on your feet by the gravity. Inuyasha had fallen once or twice but never with Kagome there, she always did though; he laughed at the thought. He jumped up, out of the well and ran for the house, then climbed the wall up to Kagome's room, but she was nowhere to be found. He slide the door open, stuck his head out and called: "Kagome?"
A little boy walked by, licking an ice cream cone, "she's not home from school yet Inuyasha. She should have been about a half hour ago though?" Sota told him, matter-of-factly.
"Home a half hour ago, what do you think could be keeping her Sota?" He asked.
"I don't know, but I bet she's failing some of her classes 'cause she's been spending so much time in the feudal era with you. So maybe she had to get some tutoring. If you want to go get her from school it's a really big building down the street."
"Thanks Sota. Um….Do you know where she keeps the jewel shards?"
" Yeah," Sota answered, " around her neck. Ever since the first time she lost them and you were really upset with her she never takes that necklace off."
Inuyasha remember that fight as if it had happened yesterday. She had taken off the shard necklace and it had been stole by a demon. He had been so mad at her and she had stomped home crying that night. He still felt very bad for that. He really never meant it whenever he blew up at her. It just seemed to happen. He knew already that she was going to be mad at him for not waiting at her house till she got home, but the thought of her being in any trouble scared him more than her anger did. He had seen the building ever since he jumped out of her bedroom window, heading for the street. But now he was running through the halls, following a light scent of her.
"She's around here somewhere. I can smell her, and hear her. But there's someone else to." He started to walk as soon as he heard your voice. There were many doors down this hallway, so it would take a lot of sniffing to figure out exactly which one you were in. Your smell was all down this hall. And so was the scent of many others.
"Width times height times length will give you the volume of a cube or rectangular prism, and radius squared times height times pie gives you the volume of a cylinder."
"Okay….." he herd you answer. He knew that tone all too well. It was the one you used when you tried to sound like you knew something but you had no idea.
"Yep that's all I can tell you today. But if we get together again tomorrow then I can teach you some things from my math book."
"Thanks, but I really can't Hojo. I'll be going…out of town tomorrow in the morning, and I wont get back for a week or so."
Kagome was leaving, since when!
