Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Thanks for the reviews. I'm so touched tear drop For the last chapter, I really did think it was longer, guess I didn't notice though. I'm usually in a hurry when I write, like I am now :S So, I'll just see how long they turn out. And no, Kagome really isn't going crazy (lol inu-don't-love-kikio)
Disclaimer: I may not Inuyasha, but I do own 1-3 of the movies (which are on plate holders in my room), a few Tshirts, and hopefully soon, an Inu plushie! yay!
FINALLY
Chapter three-We meet again
"WOAH! What was that!" a few people questioned to each other as Inuyasha sped past them as nothing but a blur. He was like a large gust of wind when he'd pass by, and for some reason, that fascinated the people who witnessed it. But Inuyasha was too busy to notice them, for Kagome was right on his trail. He was forced to slow down a bit, cautious as to not hurt anyone, accidentally. Maybe on purpose, though. These humans were so damn slow! Couldn't they get the hint? WALK FASTER GODDAMNIT!
&&#&$#&!
It felt as though Kagome had been viciously pushed forward, but with a crashing sound. She leaned up from the steering wheel, groaning in slight pain. She had a headache, and it hurt like hell. She reached her hand up to her forehead, her finger lightly touching along her hair line. When she brought her hand back down, a small amount of blood on her fingertip came with it, and she winced. It wasn't really much though, nothing a small bandage couldn't handle. She must've gotten so caught up in her own thoughts that she had forgotten she was driving, and hit someone's car. Either that or someone hit her.
"Great, just what I need." She mumbled, annoyance in her voice was easy to detect. She searched for a napkin in her mess-of-a-car and placed it on her wounded forehead. Looking into traffic, she quickly got out of the car and noticed that the police were just arriving. She ran to the side of the road, almost falling over, dizzy. A man, maybe 20 or so, was standing impatiently by the two cars, panicking at the damage. She ran to him and panted lightly. He noticed her distress and asked "Oh, are you okay? You look hurt." He tried to gently remove her hand that kept the napkin in place to examine her wound. Why was he being so kind? He looked furious not much than a minute ago! It amazed her at how he was treating her, like he knew her and cared for her deeply, when she didn't even know him. She blushed a bright pink when he smiled at her.
"Thank you, but I-I'm fine. Just a little dizzy. Are you alright?" She asked, now concerned for his safety as well. He sighed in relief to know she was okay. "Oh, I'm just perfectly fine." He grinned, flashing his perfect smile, and Kagome nearly fell over. "Uhh….I….that's good." She managed to say. "Even though you say you're fine, I think that cut on your forehead could use some treatment." He chuckled lightly. He went to his totaled vehicle and opened the passenger's seat, grabbing a bag of bandages. "Here." He placed one carefully over her wound and smiled. "Better?" he laughed. Kagome touched it lightly. "Better. Thanks." Just then a policeman walked up.
"You two okay?" He asked. They both nodded. "Anyone else in the accident?" They both shook their heads. "Alright, that's good. Now, I need to ask you each a few questions." He looked to the man Kagome was talking to, "Name?" The man shook his head slightly and said, "Jack. Jack Fischer." (A/N dunno if that's a real person, just picked it) The policeman nodded, then looked to Kagome, "And you miss?"
There was a small crowd of people watching them, and Kagome was just staring at them, thinking. It was though she was in a daze, thinking of nothing in particular, though. She heard the policemen speak and quickly looked back up at him, "Oh, sorry. Uhh, Kagome Higurash….i" She faded out, staring at the crowd once more. But someone stood out, and he was staring right at her. (A/N oh come on! You gotta know who it is! duh!)
Inuyasha stood there. Staring at her, bag still in hand. It was her. He couldn't breath. He sucked in a deep breath at last and tried to relax his body. Her scent, now stronger than ever, was still the sweet, perfect mixture of fruits and vanilla. Not to mention, the scent of fresh air from the feudal era still somehow had managed to cling to her form. But hey, he wasn't complaining.
The commotion from the crowd behind him seemed to drown out, as he just continued to watch her. Then, he noticed it, she was talking to a man. Jealousy suddenly swarmed his thoughts and he frowned, until he thought for a second. Why should he be angry? Why should he be angry that she had finally moved on? It was his fault that she left was it not? If only he hadn't been so wrapped up in his own problems back then, he could've told Kagome why he left. He was such an idiot back then. But no, not anymore. He came here to get her back. Whether she was with another man or not, he was going to try, at least. But, if she truly was happy without him, he would have no choice but let it stay that way, and leave her. He cringed at that thought. He shook it off and noticed that Kagome was now staring at him.
'She's looking at me, she knows I'm here.' He didn't know whether to be overpowered with joy because he could finally see her again, or frightened at her reaction when she found out why he had returned. He dropped his bag and kept his expression serious, and he struggled to keep it that way. All he wanted to do at this point was run straight to her, but he resisted the urge and took a step into the street (they're across the street from each other). "ACK!" Once again, he almost got killed, by one of those stupid cars. He jumped back in alarm, panting.
Seeing this, Kagome forgot all about the policemen and rushed to the other side of the street, running to him. Inuyasha had finally brought his body back up in a standing pose, and he glanced at the frozen Kagome, only a few feet from him. She was looking at him, as though he wasn't real. She was afraid that if she ran to him, he'd disappear. But she quickly forgot about that thought. "Inuyasha?" She whispered. Inuyasha's smile softened and he stared into her focused eyes. Then, she ran, straight into his arms.
Inuyasha stumbled back a bit, but kept his ground. Wrapping his arms around her, he whispered, "Kagome, I-It….It's me." That's all he could manage at the moment. Her embracing hug and her voice, it was just so overwhelming to experience all this at once, in such a long time, too. "Kagome. I…..I missed you."
She couldn't believe it. She was hallucinating earlier. Why hadn't she noticed it before? She could feel her emotions escaping her and she began to silently sob. Tears of joy. Inuyasha recognized this familiar scent and said, "Kagome, a-are you crying?" She nodded. "Why are you crying?" "I don't know, I guess I'm just happy to see you." She hadn't even realized she had said that. She had tried for so long to keep all her emotions bottled up inside of her and here she was, about to let them all out for him. And after four years without him. Then, Kagome finally came back to her senses, and a thought dawned on her.
She just had to ask him, but she didn't want to. If she did, it would ruin this wonderful moment, and she didn't want that. But Inuyasha had to of had a good reason to return to her, he was with Kikyou, was he not? Yes, he was. So he couldn't have come just for her. Maybe….maybe there was an emergency……….
She took in a deep breath, separating their embrace, and Inuyasha whimpered slightly in disappointment, but she didn't notice it. "Inuyasha." She looked up at him, "you……" she hesitated. "Why are you here?" His ears drooped downward. He should've seen that coming. What is he going to tell her? He couldn't tell her the real reason, it would chase her away, and he knew it. He'd just have to wait to tell her. If he was going to gain back her trust and love, it would take time.
A/N Must…..hurry…..and go…..to bed….good night people! Wait, I mean…..
"Thank you….for your time…..and good night" haha those darn Boondocks, love that show. R&R peoples!
Good night,
