I've decided I really want to extend this story a bit into a series. I hope you all enjoy.
I'll start from the beginning so that you all can get some wanted insight into the story of Kagome and Inuyasha…
Inuyasha knocked over the blocks.
Yes, he did it, and not on accident. It was because he wanted to.
He felt a little satisfaction when he heard the cry of the raven-haired girl reach his ears. He knew that his day was fulfilled and would be until his mother picked him up.
"You're so mean, Inuyasha!" the little girl cried. "Why'd you do dat?!"
The little boy did nothing to entertain her demanding question. Instead, he started grabbing her blocks and taking them away to his corner of the class.
She didn't move to stop him, but kept crying and sniffling. "My… my daddy said dat I shoun't let you pick un me!"
"You're daddy's stupid!" Inuyasha replied, suddenly livid of again.
She balled her tiny hands into fists and stood up to face him.
"No, he's not! You're stupid, and my daddy is pro'ly a gazillion times smarter dan your daddy!"
Inuyasha dropped the blocks, his face heating up in anger and childish hate.
"Don' talk 'bout my daddy! I hate you!"
With that, with as much force as he could muster, he pushed the little girl onto the carpeted floor.
Her father walked in right as her wails echoed through the room. Inuyasha watched as he rushed over to the red-faced girl.
"Kags? What's wrong, baby? Did you fall?" he bent over her as she continued to cry deafeningly.
Inuyasha simmered as his teacher rushed over to see what was wrong. He hated her and her stupid dad. He was always around her, all the time. She was a big, spoiled brat. She didn't deserve to have a father like that, and he was stupid for caring for her all the time. He hated them. Hated them!
He couldn't take watching him fret over her anymore. He did the only thing he knew how to do.
Hurt.
He ran over to the distracted man and swiftly kicked him in the shin before running out of the class room.
Inuyasha didn't see that girl again for another four years.
He was late and running down the hall to his first class when he saw her. She was standing outside the main office of their little school with the vice principal and a woman that appeared to be her mom.
At first, he didn't recognize her and skidded to a stop. She seemed… smaller than he would have pictured her. He remembered the girl from his kindergarten class being a little chubbier in the cheeks. You could just see the life in the girl when she came into a room.
But, when she turned her head to look around and spotted him, he knew instantly. Her eyes… he would never forget those sad eyes. Though, he couldn't understand why they were so sad now. She was a pretty happy kid when she wasn't talking to him, so what could make her so sad now?
He watched as the shock registered in her eyes and her mouth fell open. Her head spun around to face her mother and Mr. Tachi.
"Mom, please!" he heard her beg. "I promise I'll do all my homework and do good on my quizzes! Please, don't make me! I don't wanna come back here!"
Inuyasha scowled.
She's still a stupid lil spoiled brat…
*~~~*~~~*
Inuyasha sat on the swing looking toward the building, irritated. He couldn't believe that little brat didn't want to go out for recess. Not only did the teacher tell her to sit next to him, the girl acted like he wasn't even there. She just stared at her desk while he glared at the side of her head. He had been waiting all day for recess so he could 'talk' to her, but then she told the teacher she didn't want to go.
I bet she's scared. Yep, she should be. Daddy can't save her now!
Suddenly, the door to the school opened and he saw his teacher gently scooting the terrified child out of it. She clung to the teacher, and he could hear her protesting against the gentle coaxing of the instructor's hands. Finally, the teacher managed to get her outside and she closed the door.
She turned to look him right away, making him sneer at her. Then, she broke off into a run towards the jungle gyms.
Stupid little girl… he thought, irritated.
He fought the urge to go to her and confront her. He wanted to know why she hadn't come back. He wasn't concerned. No, just curious. Then, he would probably give her a good push for good measure and once again be filled with satisfaction.
He finally relented and stomped over to the annoying figure that was on the ground, leaning up against the poll, and sobbing into her knees.
"Stop crying, you stupid girl! What's your problem anyway?" He exclaimed when he could no longer stand her tears.
She didn't respond; she only blubbered harder and pushed her face deeper into the middle of her knees.
He was really annoyed now. He didn't like being ignored.
"Shut up! What, you mad 'cause you had to come here with da poor kids? You didn't wanna get all dirty being around us, huh? Or, is it 'cause your stupid dad ain't here to save you this time? Is dat it?!"
The little girl visibly stiffened and stopped howling. He could practically feel the anger that radiated off of her as she began to tremble. She suddenly shot up from the sand and glared at him intensely, catching him off guard.
"Leave me alone! Don't you ever, ever say anything bad about my daddy! My daddy can't save me… 'cause he's dead! He's dead and it's all your fault! I hate you! I hate you!"
As he recollected him using almost those exact words to her that last time they spoke, she started pounding on the little boy's chest while repeating her mantra of hate and sorrow, all the while bringing the boy on a roller coaster of emotions. Shock. Guilt. Even sadness. Then confusion.
How was it his fault?
Suddenly, she stopped, but was leaning on him, seemingly exhausted. She began to sob once again into his shirt.
He didn't know what to do. Should he call the teacher? He didn't have the will to push her away.
What did his mother do whenever he missed his dad?
Slowly, Inuyasha pulled his arms around her and hugged her to him. It was awkward at first, but she buried her face into his chest and he buried his in her shoulder.
And they cried for their losses together.
