Sorry everything is taking so long
Kagome's eyes flickered open and she sat up. Her head was killing her. What had happened? She looked around. Nothing familiar. Her vision blurred for a moment, but then returned back to normal. Her heart sunk. Now she remembered. She had run off with her tail between her legs. After killing the snake youkais she had made camp with Inuyasha, in silence. She had waited for him to fall asleep (which to a rather long time) and she left. Just left. Without a word. "I'm sorry," she whispered while standing up and walking away.
Inuyasha woke up only a little after Kagome had left. His ears dropped. She was gone. He should have seen that coming. But her scent was still fresh. He took a deep breath. He whimpered. Salt. She had been crying. Why did she choose to leave him. There was no use chasing after her, she would just leave again. His youkai blood told him to catch her before she got to far, but his human blood told him that if you love someone enough, you have to know when to let them go.
There was always danger somewhere in the feudal era so, naturally, Kagome was still in her cat form. ( blue skirt and blue mini shirt. Blue boots hair in high pony tail. Black cat tail and ears for those of you who forgot) She was still depressed from her sudden departure. She sighed and looked down at the shikon-no-tama. Almost complete. Only five more shards, three coming from Koga. That left only two with demons. After that life. . .would be. . . .pointless.
The fire had been long put out. Mid day was almost here. Inuyasha fiddled with his rosary and then stood up. His nose twitched. Kagome was making good timing, almost out of his scent range. But she was still there. Faintly.
Kagome didn't respond, instead walked away. "No Kagome!" Inuyasha jumped in front of her, blocking the path. She looked away. "Why did you leave me?" he asked. "What do you mean 'how come I left you' it's obvious!" she yelled. "I'm a stupid cat for god's sake!" she cried as tears poured down her cheeks. "Something's wrong with me!" she shouted still looking at the ground. Kagome jerked her head up and stared into the hanyou's eyes.
"Kagome that's not true! I'm the hanyou, I'm impure. I'm the dirty one. You could never be that way, no matter what happens to you!" he yelled back. "I'm not right! I'm not youkai, or hanyou, or human! Neither!" she screamed out. Inuyasha pulled her into his arms. "That's not true," he whispered. Kagome wept harder.
That had only happened last night. "Is that really how she feels?" he thought aloud. It was so wrong. All his life he was chased out by humans and demons. People threw rocks at him and demons laughed. He belonged no where. He had know this his whole life and Kagome was now cursed with the same fate. But she was at least one or the other at times, not a mix 24/7. "No place to belong."
Kagome didn't think about the future. She couldn't think of the future. Not that there would be none, but it hurt to much. She took in a deep breath. "Ug I can still smell his blood on me," she said softly. Tears welled up in her eyes. "I need a bath," she said.
It didn't take long for her to find a river. She shivered in the water. Kagome didn't bother to undress because her clothes were bloody too. There for they needed to be washed as well. She walked out onto the shore and shook off. Since she was a cat demon she had that ability. "One good thing," she laughed. A scent hit her nose and she froze. "It's so familiar, but what is it?" she thought aloud.
"So you survived my snake youkai!" She looked up. The cat boy was sitting the tree branch above her with his legs swinging off the side. "It's you!" she sneered. "Haru," he corrected her. "Die demon!" she said and jumped up onto the branch and swung her fist at him. "Heh," he said from the ground. "Missed," he smirked. She snarled. "If I can kill you the curse will lift!" she said and jumped down next to him. "Wrong," he smirked even more. "Only I can lift the curse." She jumped down and he jumped a few feet away. She stuck her leg out and he toppled to the ground. "Maybe that doesn't matter. Maybe I just want you dead!" her eyes were filled with rage.
"Since when does one youkai kill another youkai for no reason?" "I am no youkai! I am human!" she yelled and went to strike again. "You shall pay!" "For what? Isn't it better this way? Now your life is never threatened. You can still be human, but when you need to fight you can protect yourself. You won't have to rely on that useless hanyou anymore." She stopped. He was right. Everything. But. No. "Inuyasha is not useless!" she snapped. Haru looked insulted. "That hanyou is useless I helped you. I saved you!" he yelled. Kagome knew now what he had been trying to do to her. He had been trying to manipulate her. Deceive her. She growled.
"Shut your mouth!" she went to strike again.
Inuyasha's ears twitched. Kagome was in battle again. He didn't need her any more. No wonder she had left him. She could handle things by herself. "Inuyasha is not useless!" He stopped. What did she just say? "W-what?" he stuttered. He took a step forward. She didn't think he was useless. His happiness was short. He screamed and fell down. Inuyasha looked behind him. A spear was in his back. "Hanyou you have created to much interference."
Kagome stopped. "Inuyasha's blood," she gasped. "Father has gotten a head of me," said Haru. "What?"
Yeah cliffy! Oooo what's gonna happen? Teehehe. Just letting you know, as my friends know, I hate predicable stories so if you think you know what's gonna happen you're probably wrong. Read and review!
