Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the other characters (but it would be awesome if I did). That privilege goes to the ever so talented Rumiko Takahashi.
A Power like Mine
Chapter Six
They had been searching for three days and there was still no trace of Naraku. He hid himself real good this time.
"Maybe we're going the wrong way" suggested Sango.
Miroku sighed. "Maybe you're right. Inuyasha, perhaps we should head the other way."
Inuyasha glanced behind him. "Kagome, do you sense anything?"
Kagome looked up at him. She was walking right behind Inuyasha, with her bike at her side and Shippo in the basket. "No. I don't sense anything in this direction."
"Fine. Then we'll go back and head off in the opposite direction," Inuyasha said stopping in his tracks, turning around, and walking back towards the village.
"Inuyasha?"
"Hm?"
"Well, since we're heading back, would it be alright if I went home for a few days? That would give us all time to rest and recoup our energy."
Inuyasha was silent for a moment, and then he replied "Sure."
Kagome was wide eyed. 'He never let's me go home without a fight. What's he up to?'
"Thank you."
at the village
When they reached the village, Kagome said her good-bye's and Inuyasha took her to the well. When they got there, Kagome hesitated. Sure she was going home to be away from Inuyasha for a while, so she could sort out her thoughts, but he seemed to want her to go. He was the one who had offered to take Kagome to the well so she could get there without any problems. But Kagome had the feeling he took her there so she could get home faster.
She had to do it. Even if it lead to her confessing why she wanted to go home. "Inuyasha is something wrong?"
He looked up at her. Of course something was wrong but he wasn't about to tell her the reason why. "No, nothings wrong."
"Inuyasha, you're a terrible liar. Please tell me what's bothering you. You've been avoiding me ever since Naraku attacked." She tilted her head a pinch. "Are you still mad at me about not telling you the truth?"
"No! It's not that!"
"Then what?"
Inuyasha sighed. How was he going to say what was on his mind. He was never good at it, but he had to say something or Kagome would get the wrong idea. 'I'll just have to lie, and hopefully she wouldn't read my mind.' "I'm just worried. I don't like the fact that Naraku wants you and your powers." 'Good. Very good.'
"Oh, well, thank you for being worried but I'll be okay" she said. Feeling a bit relived it was just that, she sat on the lip of the well and jumped in.
'She's better off not knowing everything' he thought to himself, slightly wishing he had told her everything.
with Kagome
When she reached her side of the well, she couldn't get rid of the feeling that Inuyasha hadn't told her everything. 'Maybe I should just take a peak into his mind.' But she quickly shook that thought out of her head. "No!" she said aloud. "I will not use my powers on Inuyasha, no matter what." And she left the well house.
When she entered the house, she yelled to the household that she was home, unsure if anyone was even there. She went up to her room, closed the door, and plopped down on her bed. She was mentally exhausted. Since that day with Naraku, she had been thinking a lot about what would happen after Naraku was finally defeated and the sacred jewel was put back together. She knew she would have to come home, but she wondered if she would still be able to travel back and forth through the well. When everything was over, would she be able to visit her friends? Would she be able to see Inuyasha? Of course, Inuyasha already planned on going to hell with Kikyo. Why was she worrying about him? Besides, it's not like Inuyasha would ever love her. And even if he did, she would never have his entire heart. And she wasn't sure if she would want only part of his heart. 'No. If I could have even part of his heart, I'd be able to deal with it.' Her troubles put on hold; she drifted off to sleep, the fantasy of her and Inuyasha drifting in her mind.
When she woke up, it was already two o'clock in the morning. She felt like just laying there till it was time to get ready for school until realization hit her. 'I have a test tomorrow. I can't believe I forgot.' She jumped up and went to her backpack, extracting her school books, and then she went to her desk, sat down, and studied until it was time to go to school.
AUthor's Note: Thank you, thank you for the reviews. I will be sure to post more chapters when I get the chance. The next chapter and on is why I put Romance as one of the genre's.
