A/N: Okay, that last chapter was absolute crap; tenses all over the place. Sorry for my literary crap! So here's another one. Lalala, I don't own Inuyasha. Um, review? Give me feedback, rawr! Yeah, this chapter is boring and fluffy, but proper grammar, yay! & Inuyasha, OOC? Well, no one really knows Inuyasha's character save Inu himself. ;D
It's been ten hours and I need her back. Her school hours should be over by now. She promised.
I know. I know I'm a greedy person, but I can't help it when it comes to Kagome. And as much as I hate to say it, I am worried about her. I'm so worried I can't sleep when she's not in the Sengoku Jidai, or she's taking one of her tests, or, heaven forbid, going out with her friends.
She says it ain't dangerous on her side of the well, but I've seen the future. Pollution everywhere, those stupid cars running at a mile a minute, way too many dark alleyways for my taste, the list could go on and on.
Woman just doesn't know the real meaning of dangerous.
I jump in and out of the well smoothly, running for her house. She's not there, but her mother is.
"Inuyasha!" her mother smiles, and I can tell she's worried. Kagome's mom looks a bit like mine did when she was sick and she didn't want me to worry. It tugs at my heartstrings.
"Um...Mrs...Kagome's mom?" I finally manage, and ask her where Kagome is.
"Oh dear..." her mother looks a bit stricken. "I..I was hoping she jumped straight into the well after school."
That's all I need to hear. I screw on Souta's baseball cap, and then I'm flying. Through the doors, down the shrine steps...and smack dab into Kagome's friends. They chorus hello like a round of robots and ask me where Kagome is.
"Don't ask me!" I snarl. "She was supposed to go to school today!" The girls look at each other simultaneously and then back at me. "We thought she still had smallpox, or that neuromuscular disease from last month."
I can feel my eyes flicker to red and I have to turn away. "You better not be fuckin' with me, wenches!" I roar, losing grip for a second. But I know they're not.
Kagome, where are you? I told you your time wasn't safe! I TOLD YOU! Goddamnit, Kagome, if you get killed...
If you get killed...
I put that out of my head and keep running towards your school, searching for her scent.
When I find you, Kagome, I'm never going to let you come back here again. I don't care about your stupid school. You don't need an education.
You can stay with me.
Now I'm being greedy again, and I almost miss the faint, flowery scent getting stronger. Scrabbling on my heels, my toes click against the ground like a dog's as I crouch down on the abandoned sidewalk, nose sniffing frantically. Kagome's smell is stronger and wider here... where she must have fallen! I snarl at smelling a husky cologne (a man must have kidnapped her) and wrinkle my nose at a stronger scent, of a chemical that must have knocked her out. The mere thought of anyone knocking Kagome out sends me howling into the evening sky.
Running...
Running...
Running to Kagome, wherever she is.
When I find her, I'm going to yell at her for at least an hour.
Then I'm going to hold her tight, and never let go. Not when the flowers wilt and bloom again, not when the world stops turning, not until we turn into forever and I don't have to worry about losing her, because she'll always be there next to me.
The thought of falling so deep for Kagome scares me, so instead I focus on the flourishing stars while I run, growing stronger and brighter with each passing hour. You can barely see them in this time, shrouded by the smog in the air. It makes me sad.
Ooh! Metaphorical ending! It really does make me sad, though. I live in the city, and you can barely sleep a wink with all the lights. The last sentence/paragraph may seem off topic, but it really isn't. It has everything to do with the story. Review if you understand! (Even if you don't, review.)
