Chapter 2
Kagome expected to be greeted by InuYasha saying, "Finally! Took ya long enough this time, stupid!" But, instead, she was greeted nicely. As soon as she flung herself and her bag over the edge of the well, InuYasha ran up to her with the happiest smile she had ever seen.
Kagome smiled back as InuYasha started to speak. "Kagome, guess what? Today I saw soul collectors entering the forest. Kikyo is nearby!" Kagome's smile dropped, but she managed not to look disappointed. Great! Kikyo, Kikyo, Kikyo! Why doesn't he freaking write, "I love Kikyo and don't care about Kagome's feelings" on his fore head.
Over in the bushes Miroku, Sango, and Shippoe sat, with sympathetic eyes. "When will he learn?" Sango asked to no one, knowing that it was hopeless.
Kagome swallowed her tears and looked up at InuYasha's glowing face. "Are… are you going after her?" InuYasha nodded excitedly. He was practically jumping up and down. She could tell that he wanted to go now so she forced up a smile. "Go now! What are you waiting for InuYasha! Go!" Kagome said it excitedly, but on the inside she was saying it angrily. InuYasha gave her a quick hug and ran off.
"See you soon Kagome!" InuYasha yelled as he ran off into the forest. Kagome weakly waved back. Sango, Miroku, and Shippoe ran out of the bushes and joined Kagome.
"Kagome, it's okay. He doesn't know what he's doing, that's all." Sango said trying to comfort her.
"Look, its okay." Kagome said reassuringly. "But, I have…a… a huge test to study for." Way to be sutile Kagome! "So, I'm going to go home for a while. Okay?" They all nodded. "I'll leave my backpack here. There's ramen for InuYasha and a first aid kit. Take care!" Kagome waved and jumped back in the well.
As soon as she left, Shippoe walked up to Miroku. "You guys, she doesn't have to study. She left all her books here."
Miroku and Sango didn't act surprised because they knew that the whole time.
