chapter 3, hapy little reunion..not!
I couldn't belive it. Inuyasha, he was here right in front of me. After so long. I stood up and took a step forward. I noticed just a second to late that Inuyasha had gone from wide eyed and surprised to glareing and battle stanced.
"What the hell are YOU doing here?" he yelled and swong at me, claws extended. I gasped and jumped back, bairly missing his left hand, earning a deep slice in the shoulder from his right. I turned around and ran stright for the exit of the garden only to hit the ground as a staff swong over top my head. I slid past the long, midnight blue robe infront of me and headed stright for a tree off to the left before turning around to meet those who waited to attack me.
On my right were Miroku, Sota, Sango, and Koga. On the left were Sesshomaru, Iame, and Rin. My heart stoped for an instant at the the sight of them all, together, alive, and home. "I don't know what you'r doing here, but you are not staying!" Sango said stepping forward. I Snapped out of my thought and stepped a little thurther tord them. "What are you talking about? I'm not Kikyo!" I yelled. I could hear the desperation in my voice and I knew they could to... and I hated it.
My brothers, my family were alive, but they thought I was Kikyo, the horible person who killed so many including my own parents! Why? Inuyasha came out from the maze of plants and laughed. "As, if." You expect us to belive you'r not Kikyo, YOU LOOK JUST LIKE HER! EXPLAIN THAT! I knew had me there, I did look like Kikyo, and at that point I knew anything I said would not change their minds. Then it hit me, MY SCENT! "What about my scent?" I yelled and watched as Inuyasha and Koga raised their eye brows.
Inuyasha sniffed the air and his expression turned curious. "It's... You smell like..But its not possible.. I don't care what you smell like, your going down!" he yelled. My eyes went wide then back to normal. I couldn't fight them I just couldn't. Fine, I whispered. "If you don't belive me, then do it"... Inuyasha stopped in his tracks. "Wha...?" "Stop, she's telling the truth!" Izaoi yelled, running down the path tord us.
I looked up and saw the shock on everyone's face's as they looked at the queen. Izaoi stopped infront of me and put her arms out. "How can you all be so quick to judge with out proper knowlage? I told you earlyer when you first arrived that it's been ten years since you'v all last been home, you should expect some people to be older than they once were!"
I put my hand on her shoulder and sighed. I knew what would happen next and it wasn't going to be pretty. Realization played on all the faces in front of me, realization and guilt. Inuyasha broke the silance, his bangs covering his eyes from view. "Ten years would make you 15, right...Kagome...?"
Maybe no one else had realised this because of the gasps. That, or they didn't want to belive it. Inuyasha lifted his head and staired at me, his face unreadable. I looked around at them all and turned to the right, walking away. Ka-Kagome, where are you going? Sota yelled after me. I stopped in my tracks. When I turned around Everything I felt came out. Where am I going, you want to know? Where I'm at is worth knowing? Why do you care, huh? You all leave for ten years and suddenly come back and attack me then ask where I'm going? You think you have the right?
I felt the tears run down my face and turned away from them, walking again. Toma and Kiade stood a few feet ahead of me, both staying quiet and looking at the ground. Toma, you know where I'll be if something bad happenes. Then I took off into the trees. Behind me I could hear Toma explode. You'r all discusting! She waits every day for ten years, crys on every birthday that go's by, gives up her life to do all the chores that you could split between each other, and for what? To be threatened with death by you as soon as she see's ya?
I knew he'd fallow me in a few seconds, but it didn't matter any more. I reached the sacred tree and fell to the ground in front of it. I cryed there for what seemed like forever before Toma came. One second I was on my stomach crying and the next I was on my feet in his arms. I wrapped my arms around Tomas neck and cryed even harder, I guess a part of me had wanted one of my brothers or Inuyasha to come. Toma and I were close, he'd been their for me my whole life, more than the others had. But our relationship ended there. He was like a brother to me, and he was treated as such.
I can't belive this..! I said between gasps. I know, Toma said. We'll get them back tomarrow. I knew he was right. but I didn't want to think about that now. I was tired from walking all day and honestly, I wanted to sleep. I put my head on Toma's shoulder and closed my eyes as he picked my up bridal styal. I don't remember vary much after that. I could vaugly make out the steps through the woods and the low conversaition of "Is she ok? and "None of your buisness; between Toma and Miroku. The last thing I was aware of was my soft bed, then I fell asleep...
I woke up the next morning and sighed as the nights events came back to me. Swinging my feet off the bed to the right I smiled and looked out the window at the now bright, near noon sky. "I'll get you guys for last night, I promice, ha ha."
