Rating: T+
Warnings: Fluff/Romance
Recap:
Hitori smiled and followed Kagome downstairs. "Hold my hand." she said as they entered the well shrine.
Hitori stared at Kagome. "Is Kagome insane?" she wondered.
With that, they jumped into the well, and disappeared with the blue light.
Inuyasha lifted his head up and inhaled. "Kagome's back." he stated. He had reluctantly let her go to get some supplies. Inuyasha and the others headed to the well.
"Oi Kagome!" called Inuyasha.
Kagome looked up. "Inuyasha, please come get me."
"What?! You've crawled up by yourself before!"
"Inuyasha, there's someone in here with me."
Shippo, Sango, and Miroku stared at the well while Inuyasha grumbled about idiotic humans. Inuyasha jumped in and picked up Kagome. Glaring at the younger girl, he picked her up to and jumped out of the well. Hitori was in shock. How in the world could he jump like that? And what was up with his eyes and hair? Hitori was brought out of her reverie when Inuyasha dropped her unceremoniously on the ground.
Kagome glared at Inuyasha. "Osuwari!" Inuyasha was once again slammed into the ground.
Sango, Miroku, and Shippo sighed. Setsumi stared at Hitori. 'Why in the hell was she here?' she thought shocked.
Hitori stood and wiped the dust from her jeans. "Sister, why aren't you at home? I can't go anywhere because everything thinks you ran away or were kidnapped. Now mom and dad are trying to keep me perfectly safe and it's pissing me off."
"So? That's not my fault. And since when did they care about me? Ever since you were adopted it was: Oh, isn't Hitori just the smartest? Isn't she just perfect? Setsumi, you can do better than an A-!" Setsumi glared at Hitori.
"You don't have the right to call them your parent's anyway. They aren't yours, yours are dead somewhere or are getting high." she said angrily.
"So?! I consider them my parent's, not the people that abandoned me. "
Setsumi scoffed. "Whatever Hitori. You always try to pull that pathetic act in front of new people."
"I hate you." replied Hitori.
Setsumi was taken aback. She never saw that coming. "You hate me?" he eyes narrowed. "I don't care! I don't care."
Miroku placed his hand on their shoulders. "You girls can't seriously mean that." he said. "Yes. Yes, I do mean it. I hate her. I wish she was dead." said Hitori. With that said, she ran into the forest away from her entire past.
Mrs. Komoto called upstairs. "Hitori! Dinner!"
She got no answer. She headed up the stairs and into Hitori's room. "Hitori?" she whispered. She looked toward the bathroom. There was no light on and the door was slightly ajar. She looked in Setsumi's room and saw no one.
Mrs. Komoto ran downstairs just as her husband walked in the door. "Oh Daisuke! Hitori's gone too!" she began to sob as he wrapped his arms around the crying woman.
Setsumi stared in the direction Hitori ran away in shock. "She'll die out there!" she exclaimed in horror.
Sango sighed. "We better go after her."
Inuyasha shook his head. "We can't. It's dark and I don't really have her scent at all." Setsumi began to cry. She hadn't cried in a very long time. Not since she was afraid of the dark.
Inuyasha looked at her uneasily. She turned away from the and headed into the forest despite Inuyasha's statement.
Inuyasha immediately ran after her. "Setsumi!" he yelled out.
It was about fifteen minutes before Setsumi stopped running. She collapsed to the ground sobbing. She didn't like Hitori that much, but she didn't want her dead. It had hurt when Hitori said the opposite for her. She brought her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. She put her face in her arms and cried.
Inuyasha practically flew through the trees. He sniffed the air to catch her scent again. 'Setsumi…'
Inuyasha found her at the base of a tree, crying, from the way her body was shaking. He ears flattened against his head. Sighing, he walked over. Bending down next to her he touched her arm uncertainly.
"Setsumi... are you okay?" he asked. She sniffed and ignored him. He growled at her and grabbed her chin, pulling her to face him. "I asked you a question. Are you okay?"
She glared at him. "DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M OKAY?!" He flattened his ears again to block out the loudness of her voice. "Sorry... I-I…," he sighed. "I don't know." he replied slightly embarrassed.
Setsumi and Inuyasha stood up. He reached out and gave her a very light hug. They both blushed.
"Hey, I heard the voices over here." said Kagome.
Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo walked out from the bushes right as Inuyasha bent down slightly and kissed Setsumi on the lips.
The others all gasped.
Setsumi wrapped her arms around his neck, and he grabbed her waist as they continued kissing.
Kagome burst into tears.
"How…but why? Why would they do this to me? More importantly, why would he do this to me?" wondered Kagome.
Sango and Miroku looked at Kagome apologetically. "Kagome…" started Miroku quietly. She shook her head and looked at the ground.
Miroku whistled loudly causing Inuyasha and Setsumi to separate quickly.
They blushed furiously. "Um, well, we're going back to the, um, hut." said Setsumi.
Miroku raised his eyebrow. "And what will you exactly be doing there?" They blushed again, but Sango smacked Miroku then pointed to Kagome, who was looking at the ground dejectedly.
"Kagome…" started Inuyasha. "Don't. Just don't. I know there is no more room for me in your heart anymore." she said. Kagome lifted her head and gave him a small broken smile.
"Um, Inuyasha, I think I'll go home for a while. Maximum is about two weeks." Inuyasha nodded. "Okay Kagome…"
Kagome borrowed Kirara and flew to the Bone Eater's well, one lone tear slipping down her face, making way for many more.
Inuyasha let out a sigh and bent down for Setsumi to get on his back. Once she did, the two were on their way to Keade's village.
Sango, Miroku, and Shippo collected some wood, and headed back when Kirara came back.
Reiko: So how did you guys like it? I'm gonna try to focus it on Hitori a little more. . Okay? Well, see ya at Chapter Eight. This'll be my best story ever! I'll be sad when it's over. /Sigh/
