Freaky ending to the last one, eh?

Well, here goes this one. Sorry it's so short...

Chapter 4

Inuyasha's pale hands appeared over the rim of The Bone-Eater's Well. Their fingers with elongated claw-like nails. Small grunts echoed through the emptiness of the shrine as the hanyou perched himself on the inside of the well wall.

"Alright, Kagome, you've been gone long enough!" He said, hurling himself over the edge and landing on his feet on the unfurnished wood floor.

Inuyasha crept up the stairs, a red baseball cap pulled over his small dog-like ears to create somewhat of an illusion that he was human.

He slid open the doors to the shrine and launched himself out into the light. A slight grin was pasted on Inuyasha's face as he darted across the lawn, heading towards Kagome's bedroom window. Suddenly, Inuyasha's feet slid to a stop on the dry grass as he caught sight of the scene playing out under the black, metal arch that led to the Higurashi estate.

"Ka…Kagome…" Inuyasha whispered to himself as he watched Kagome and Hojou kiss each other in sweet bliss.

His head lowered slightly, causing his feathered bangs and the hat to hang over his amber eyes and cast a shadow over his features. The summer winds made his large, red kimono sleeves to thrash around his pale wrists. Now they nearly concealed most of his pale hands, their fingers with elongated claw-like nails curled slightly in defeat before they suddenly clenched and his chin raised, his eyes bloodshot.

Was it, perhaps, that he was jealous of Hojou. At that moment he really wanted to kill the boy. He wanted to kill him for kissing Kagome.

A low growl gurgled from his throat as he tried to keep himself from slamming Hojou into the ground.

'I don't care…she can do whatever she feels like…here…with him…' Inuyasha thought as he turned his back to the two and darted back to the shrine.
