You had brought your Ipod just for the fact you knew that soon you'd want to escape in some music. Sure it would be useless once the battery ran out but you just hoped that you would be in a bit of a better state by then.
"You pack everything in your house in there?" He asked his old voice and self returning.
You didn't answer him, you voice didn't want to work right now, and you knew if you did try to speak it would most likely break and have you crying again. You just looked at him, giving your best "say whatever you want, I won't care" look. You went straight past him, walking out the door, down the stairs out your front door, towards the well for the very last time. You heard doors shutting and him walking behind you. You slid the shrine door open, looking into the darkness of the well. Your mouth was almost pulled into a smile when you thought, "this is almost the exact way I feel, fallen to the bottom of the well." As you walked down the steps to well he slid the door shut, and grabbing your hand, lead you to the well. You couldn't make out very much, and if he hadn't of lead you to the well you most likely would have fallen due to the darkness.
"Kagome, are you sure you really want to do this?" He asked. No sign of hesitating in his voice. This was it. The time for you to choose, stay or go. If you stayed, well there was nowhere for you to stay, your house would be up for sale soon. You being 15, you couldn't live alone yet. But if you go…what would happen when all the shards were collected? You shoved those thought to the back of your mind as you jumped into the well. The flying feeling no longer made you feel happy or hopeful. On the contrary, it brought memories of your mom, brother, and grandfather's death. You totally ignored it as you got ready for the incoming gravity strength. Landed in the well and climbed up the wall out of the well.
"Kagome! Kagome! She didn't get through? I've got to back and get her!" You herd Inuyasha voice from the bottom of the well.
"I'm already up here. Hurry up would ya? We need to start finding some jewel shards." You said walking away from the well. He jumped out, and ran after you.
" Wow! Someone's a little pissed." He said under his breath. You shut your eyes and took in a breath, then spun around to face him, fuming(sp?).
"Pissed! Yah sure I'm pissed! My mom, brother, and grandfather just died and I have nowhere left to go after we find all the jewels. I will never see them again and I am without a family, without a fricking loving, caring family! I don't know what to do anymore! I wish you would have left me to die, they were my life! Don't say you know how I feel because you wouldn't mind loosing your brother and you barley remember you parents! I lost all I've ever known in one explosion on one of what I thought to be the best days of my life. So if I can't be pissed about that then you have absolutely no reason to ever be pissed!" You screamed at him. He stood there, wide eyed, and mouth gapping until he thought of something smart to say. He started to speak but you interrupted him. "Inuyasha, SHUT UP AND SIT!" And you stormed off, leaving him there on the ground. The anger rushed through you with no sign that it would be stopping at any moment soon. You sat down beneath a tree a little while later and took out your Ipod blaring the music into your ears.
INU"S POV
I knew the second it came out of my mouth that what I had said was horrible. And as she was yelling I picked up on only one thing she said. "..On one of what I thought to be the best days of my life…" Did she mean she had a good time with me? Did that mean that she had felt the same way I had? Because she was beautiful as she walked down those stairs. And I couldn't get that picture of her out of my head. I felt horrible for her, because she had lost everything. Why couldn't I show sympathy towards her? I was thinking of some way to say I'm sorry, but… I hadn't done anything and sorry never fixed a death! Just as I was going to say "What can I say to make you feel better?" she yelled "SIT" at me. I couldn't get mad at her, and the time with my face in the ground gave me time to think. It had been one of the best moments for me too. I had never felt like that with Kikyo ever. I had NEVER had the urge to kiss Kikyo that bad. I had never Kissed Kikyo like that either. But what if that wasn't what Kagome meant? What if she was talking about how she got to spend so much time with her mom before hand, or how she had gotten an extra day in her time? I felt the spell beginning to wear off so I slowly started to stand up. The smell of her hot tears traveled in the opposite direction of the hut that Miroku and Sango had been staying. I decided to give Kagome a few more days away from the rest of them before we got back on with our quest. I walked over to the tree she was sitting at and watched as she glared daggers at me and turned around to face the other way. I sat down on the opposite side of the tree and listened to the music she had playing. It was a slow sad song, but loud. Sleep by the Eels, I wanna use Sleep cause it will advance the story… Inuyasha listened to the song until it ended and Kagome turned off her walkman.
"If you want we can go somewhere for a while, so you have a few days to do whatever. I figured you might not want to go hunting for jewel shards right away so we can just travel for a while, I'm sure Miroku and Sango won't mind. But that's only if you want to"
KAG"S POV
I couldn't help but give a shocked look at Inuyasha. He had just offered to help me with my grieving. I smiled the best I could and nodded. To get away from everything, even for only a little while would be beyond helpful to my mental state now. He offered his hand to me and I grabbed it as he helped me up. I put my back pack on my back then climbed up on his. He started running and I tried to fight down tears. I couldn't grasp why he was being so understanding, and him being understanding made me feel bad for getting angry at him before. The guilt seeped through me as though I was being washed in cold water. I gave into the curve of his back and rested my head on his back as my tears escaped onto his hair.
INU"S POV
I
smelt the salt from her tears before they even reached my hair. One
after the other, they fell softly into my hair and through my shirt
till some hit my back. I felt kind of helpless, I could not save her
from the war that raged within her. Though we could have never known
what was going to happen, there was no way of turning back. I
wondered how long it would take for her to be alright again, or if
she would ever be alright again. It wasn't as though she only lost
one person and had others to go to. She lost all family in one night.
She was right when she said I couldn't relate. I wish I could do
something to help her!
