Disclaimer: Well thanks for all your reviews! I'm working on my next chapter right after updating so please have patience. And as always I don't own Inuyasha! TT
A/N: Well I'm working on this one right away, Thanks to all of you. I'm very happy. Well the retreat was great. We all cried...even the guys....TT But we all bonded it was really fun. Well anyways now I need to get some camouflage clothing for paint balling now.....about that...and this guy has already planned my death...-- Well please enjoy!
Also: I've been noticing my chapters vary from long or short lengths. Well I should warn. Depending on my mood or what I feel like would be best to end will depend on the length. So sometimes it might be barely anything or it will be very long. Also I'm sorry if anything's too OOC. I never meant to. There will be many mood swings in this story also! It's just ideas come of all sorts.
Of Broken Hearts and Renewal
Chapter 8: Learning New Discoveries
"Looks like he's return with her. I'm surprised they met so soon."
"Don't worry. I think it's really cute. They were always meant for each other, right?"
"Oh you and your love struck self," Another voice interrupted the other two figures. Three figures stood staring out of the window. One a figure of a female, another a child, and the other of a man.
"-Sigh-I just hope nothing like last time would happen this time. I'm afraid that girl will have her heart broken once again. And I don't think she can take that," Said the tall male.
"Well, I was sure that demon paid for it. Besides, look, he has that sword again," said the child.
"Ah.....yes.....that sword. It's been ages since I've thought of it..."
"And you don't have to think of it any more because you have me!" Said the female happily.
"Unfotunately..." The man sighed exasperated.
"What?!?!?!?"
Loud shouting and breaking of things could be heard from Inuyasha's house many ways away. Inuyasha heard the shouting first and sighed. They're at it again ...........I thought lovers don't fight. About 10 more minutes passed before Kagome could hear the racket. She wondered where it was coming from. Strange..... Kagome mused to herself. Before she could ask if Inuyasha knew what it was they had approached Inuyasha's house. What she saw there struck her with such awe...she did what anyone else would do. Gape.
Inuyasha walked towards Kagome's house enjoying what little freedom he had until he would be under Kagome's control of helping him study. He sighed. He let that girl get to him so much....
Inuyasha jogged up to the Higurashi Shrine stairs and walked towards the door of the house. He rung the door bell once and knocked twice. He was greeted with a girl with black hair smiling cheerfully hiding something behind her back.
"Hi Inuyasha!" Kagome nearly bounced with happiness.
"Hey, Kagome," He replied back taking a step back from the surprising girl.
"Guess what?"
"What?"
"I got you something....." Kagome trailed off ready to see a either annoyed or irritated expression. Except she got something else.
"What? Where? Give it to me," Inuyasha said anticipation and excitement taking over in his eyes. He was like a toddler opening his Christmas presents. He tried peering behind the girl's back. But then stepped back a little. What if she's going to give me something as repulsing as this beaded necklace? Inuyasha thought with wariness.
She took it from behind her and presented it to him. "Tadaa!"
"What? This crappy sword? I thought it meant a lot to you. I mean you know...being Inuyasha's and all..." Inuyasha trailed off.....trying not to say anything to make the girl upset. Her tears just struck something in him making him so ........emotional.
"Well you see. Since you can't control your demon blood and that incident yesterday I thought you could use this...I mean you're my friend and all and I want to help, Y'kno?"
"Thanks Kagome," Inuyasha said as he held the sword in his hands. I'll be sure to take great care of it....since it means so much to you. He thought.
Kagome and Inuyasha didn't talk much along the trip. Inuyasha found himself at a lost for Kagome's cheeriness and generosity. He never got a gift from friends that meant so much to him. Especially since all his friends didn't stay so long. They ended up finding about his true form.
Kagome was a bit surprised and embarrassed to say anything either. They both just enjoyed each other's company. Together, though each didn't know, they felt whole.
But soon the peacefulness came to an end as they neared the house. Inuyasha heard it blocks away before Kagome could. The loud thrashing and crashing made him cringe. Soon after Kagome heard the same noises, as they came to the gate.
Except all those terrifying noises came to a dull throb as Kagome took the wonder in front of her in her eyes. She stared in awe. It was amazing. She looked at the....well....er....mansion. What else could she call it?? It was a white house with a stone fence around the whole property. A flat marble walkway led up to the big estate which Kagome declared was also a drive way.
The front yard had a huge grass lawn with rose bushes aligning the fences. A gigantic fountain was right in front of the mansion that was a picture of a mermaid surrounded by fairies somehow floating around her. Inside the fountain was a pond with fish swimming around it.
The garden was decorated in flowerbeds and different types of others in an interesting and intricate design. Kagome couldn't wait to see the backyard, which she could see some trees growing behind. They kept walking and she kept gawking.
"Well I guess we should go in," Inuyasha said moving towards the door and opening it while Kagome followed after looking around in awe. If Kagome were to listen instead of gawking and staring she could here the devastation upstairs.
They were greeted with a butler in a suit. "Oh hello"
"Welcome back sir. I see we have a guest today. Shall I help you with anything or shall I go and inform the others?"
"Oh don't do any of that. I would like you to keep quiet though. Knowing them right now doing what ever they are doing up there, I fear for you and us all."
"Very well master. If you or your lady friend need anything just ring." With that the butler disappeared into a door on the side.
"Hmm...he seems nice. What's his name"?
"Don't know" Inuyasha replied making his way up the red carpeted stairs in the center of the gigantic room.
"Wait...let me get this straight. You don't even know your personal servants name? Geez, you rich people are really arrogant and self center," Kagome said following behind taking in all the different things this house have.
"You're here aren't you?" Inuyasha said smirking but still arrogantly.
"Shut up"
"You know you love me."
"I recall that I said that before too.....Stop Copying Me!"
"I'm not."
"Yes you are!"
"Well atleast I'm smarter than you are when coming up with comebacks."
"No, you just copy them from me!"
"Stop ruining my moments..."
"You don't have moments....Kami."
"Well, atleast I'm cuter then you."
"That's just random."
"Shut up."
After turning a few corridors and making a few rights and lefts they reached to an abrupt stop. Although there were a few little fits inbetween the turnings. Kagome just stopped a few inches before just crashing into that Hanyou. She looked at where they stopped. A mahogany door was in front of her with the sign saying:
KEEP OUT! NO ONE IS ALLOWED! MAIDS INCLUDED! AND THAT MEANS YOU!
"Oh, so now you're degrading me down to a maid?" Kagome said after reading the sign.
"It's not my fault that maids tend to get into my privacy."
"Privacy my ass....." Kagome muttered.
"Shut up."
"What do you mean shut up? I did not say anything Inubaby."
"Right....."
"Why are you acting as if you don't believe me??"
"Because I can't trust such a vile thing like you."
"That Hurt Inuyasha."
"Well I bet you've hurt others more."
"I do not!"
"Liar."
"Are we going to argue all day or are we going to start what we came here for?"
"Aww...I wanted you to stay here, forever and ever!"
"Shut up" Kagome opened Inuyasha's door and slammed it shut.
"Eh, You that is MY room?"
"SHUT UP!"
Once Inuyasha got into his room Kagome was literally speechless.
"Oh Kami! I must have died and gone to heaven! Look at this! Wait a minute -pinches herself- Ow.... that hurt. So I'm not dreaming and I'm sure I'm not dead. You're here and so I'm probably not dead. I'm too good of a person.....Wait now I know. Who are you and what have you done to Inuyasha?!"
"Dammit, Kagome. Don't you dare go sarcastic on me!"
"But look at this! Darnit look! What the hell happened to you??"
"Shut up...so I like my room clean...It isn't my fault I'm not like you"
"Hey! My room is so clean"
"Then how come I saw your underwear on the ground, huh?"
"Wait I so did not leave any- hey wait a minute! You pervert! You looked at it!"
"I um...no what I said was......ugly hair?"
"Inuyasha.... let's just get back to what we came here for."
"Right!" Inuyasha said enthusiastically. He knew that what he said while ago was quite wrong to say to a girl. A certain girl......-evil glare- Kagome. They moved over to his bed. This time Kagome took a good look. His walls were white, his bed was black, his dresser was cherry brown, his ceiling had a lamp, the carpet was light beige, and his desk was black. All in all it was a quite a plain normal room with a TV, video games, VCR, DVD, play station 2, a computer, and well what surprised her was the icebox. Kagome made a mental note to ask him about that later.
She plopped herself down on his bed and he got his swirley chair from his desk and plopped it near her. He sat like every other guy sat trying to act cool.
"Okay I'm ready. Now let's get down to business." Inuyasha said. "So tell me about this stupid ass sword you gave me?"
"Okay now Inuyasha, the one I knew before, had this sword to seal his demon blood. Now you could use this sword and make it into this really big sword if you protect someone."
"I see."
"Okay my turn. I want to ask you about your whole life and what has happened to you recently 'til the part where I met you. First are you a foster child?"
"Yes. As you know I'm a Hanyou. I live with two guardians. As of now as you can hear his girl is pummeling him. Now anyways all I remember is that my 2 guardians have been taking care of me since I was born. I have many childhood memories. Many bad and many good. I don't even recall having any memories of Inuyasha. I lived in America before, as you know. Then my two guardians decided to move to Japan for some business affair for a few weeks and I was invited. Since I usually don't get to go anywhere I decided to go. SO soon they found out business here was far better than America and so we moved here. So far that's all I know unless you want to hear my life's story."
"No I don't need to know. But Inuyasha?"
"Yea?"
Kagome hesitated before asking. "Have you've had any dreams or any kind of snips of memories?"
"Well.....after you mentioned it. Yes I remember I have. Yea I've had dreams it's just never that when I try to remember it, it seems to fade away."
"I see.....I've read it somewhere before...a book mentioned something about it except I didn't really pay attention. I did drop out of that class......hey-"
Just then heavy running footsteps were heard from above. Followed by more harder thumping foot prints and a soft paced stride was followed after. Then Inuyasha's door quickly burst open and in came a very sweaty and nervous person.
"Master! Th-there's something amiss....." the servant rushed on but Inuyasha cut him off.
"Let me guess. Sesshoumaru has somehow remarkably once again made the girl of his dreams pissed off and now he's running for his life."
"Yes, master and one more thing. He-"
"Shippou won't help him and you need me come to the rescue."
"Yes, and-"
"I know I know. Same place as always."
Kagome looked at Inuyasha impressed. She tended to forget a moment that our dear little Hanyou had said two quite familiar names. Naming the Demon Lord and that orphan kitsune child. "Dang Inuyasha. You sure know your stuff." Kagome was quite impressed.
"Trust me Kagome. When you've lived here all your life there's nothing scarier than couples fighting. You tend to learn. Like right now Sesshoumaru is running up a tree where he knows Rin can't climb since it's not very um.....gripable"
"Dear, Dear dog-boy. My poor, poor guy." Kagome patted his shoulder while talking and continued, "I know one day you will learn how to say and spell the right words. Nevertheless pronounce it right."
"Let's go. Sesshoumaru is probably swiping Rin's hands away but carefully not pushing the ladder she got."
"Hey that reminds me I need to ask you about your so called guardians. As a matter of fact-"
"Come on Kagome the sooner we get Sesshoumaru free the sooner we can get back to what we were doing. Also we've got that ...um.....that thing to study for...what subject again?"
"Math but back to-"
"Come on!" Inuyasha grabbed her hand in his and pulled her towards where this so called "tree" is. He didn't notice the faint blush on Kagome's face and her heart pounding a bit more to a faster pace. His sensitive ears couldn't even catch the hitch in her breath when he grabbed her wrist in surprise.
All thoughts stopped in her mind even the puzzle of finding out if she was about to meet two people she hadn't seen since Inuyasha's death. All she could think was one simple thing but a maze to a mind and a key to the heart.
Could I really be falling once again to him, once more? Even if this could be a reincarnation?
Am I to put my heart in the line once more without knowing if fate and destiny will take him away from me once more?
Somehow Kagome felt as if she was cheating on Inuyasha. The real Inuyasha not his reincarnation. Except how did Shippou or Sesshoumaru have a hold of him? Except her opened wounds that were so secretly healed but not mended was reopening again. Those feelings she buried so deep in her for so long. The feelings of hurt and sorrow she buried so deep and making her feel numb was melting into feeling. Was she really falling in love with Inuyasha, once again?
A/N: Well there you go! How did you all like it? Oh also Kagome and Inuyasha aren't officially going out yet. So this is all just teasing, sarcasm, etc. Well thanks for all your reviews! Also...R/R!
