Chapter 3
Heartache
"… - …" 'was Koga just messing with me?' 'is Kagome really crazy in love with me?' Inuyasha thought
"Inuyasha?"
"CANNON BALL!" SPLASH! Rains a bit due to the big splash.
"how was I?"
"wow, you even made it rain a bit."
"cool"
"... *still deep in thought*"
"something wrong with him?"
"I don't know he just stares at his reflection, and mumbling to himself."
"mind if I try something?" Koga asked wanting to help her
"go ahead."
"yo! Mangy mutt! I'm talking to you!" Koga said angrily, "say something!"
"WHAT IS IT?" Inuyasha snapped, "CAN'T YOU SEE I AM THINIKING YOU MORON!" looking at Kagome, since she smelled of wolves, and he wasn't thinking strait, or even looking strait. "What the heck is it?" Inuyasha snapped at who he thought was Koga,
"I *sniffle* I just wanted to talk to you Inuyasha." she said crying, and she ran off, deep, DEEP, DEEP into the woods.
"oh great! Now what did I do to her?" Inuyasha asked truthfully angry at himself.
"you yelled at her, thinking it was me because she smelled like wolf." Koga said surprisingly calm, "Let me find and calm her down, I won't try to take her from you this time, I promise." Koga got out of the water and began walking towards her
"no, I'll find her." Inuyasha said holding back the wolf demon
"you upset her even more"
"I hurt her, it's my problem to fix." Snapped Inuyasha claws raised ready to fight.
"fine, go, I just wanted to help her." Then Inuyasha dashed off in the direction Kagome went.
Sesshomaru's castle
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK,
"hello."
"can I stay here for a little while Sesshomaru, Inuyasha yelled at me, thinking I was a wolf!" she asked sobbing
"*opens the door* go ahead." "Would you like to say hello to Rin?"
"Yes."
"Rin, Kagome came to see you." he called out almost robotically.
"Kagome!" the little girl ran over to Kagome screaming excitedly
"You may roam the castle, if you wish to do so." Sesshomaru said with his tone having no emotion other than disinterest
"Thank you my Lord!"
"Yes thank you Sesshomaru."
"Kagome, why are you crying?" Rin asked innocently
"It's nothing you should worry about Rin."
"are you sure?" the little girl asked deeply concerned
"yes. *happy sniffle* you know how to cheer me up. thank you Rin."
"*hugs Rin*"
in the forest
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha called getting desperate to hear her voice, even the word sit, "KAGOME!"
"found her yet?" asked Koga with his arms crossed over his chest looking down, while leaning against a tree nonchalantly
"no." then Inuyasha jumped down almost to the ground and sat on a branch
"I'll search the west, you search east."
"how could I have not thought of that!" Inuyasha yelled remembering Sesshomaru's castle is west, a long ways away from the camp.
"ok? So why are you heading west, I said you search east."
"no, my brother's castle is west and that's where she went when I yelled at her before."
"you are so hopeless." Koga sighed out, following the hanyou.
"feh! and you aren't?"
"no I'm not."
"shaddup."
"You know she probably hates you now."
"IRON REAPER SOUL STEALER!" Inuyasha screamed swiping his claws at Koga but missing
"hey!"
"she doesn't hate me I can tell, "
"how?"
"I JUST CAN!"
"hey careful, that temper made Kagome cry."
"*unsheathes Tetsusiaga* I said SHADDUP!" Inuyasha yells as one single tear rolls down his cheek.
"ok, ok." Koga said holding his hands up to say, ok, I'll back off.
"and besides, I know what I did," Inuyasha said as he sat down with his bangs covering his eyes, "but I wish I hadn't, because, because I love her." He said crumbling inside.
Then Koga sat down next to him, "it's ok" "I'm sorry, and you're right Inuyasha she wouldn't hate you, and from what I've heard her say about you, I have already lost a LONG time ago in the race for her heart." Koga said, "she LOVES you so deeply, I will never understand it."
"she, LOVES me that much?" Inuyasha asked looking strait at the wolf demon.
"yes" "I was just trying to win her heart back FROM you." "but from the way you are acting, I realize I should give up and be happy with being her friend."
In one of Sesshomaru's many guest bedrooms.
'why would he yell at me SO harshly?' Kagome thought staring at the forest, then the door opened and Jaken walked through
"Kagome?" Jaken asked scared of the miko
"*sniffle* yes, what is it Jaken?"
"Lord Sesshomaru says lunch is prepared, would you like to join us?"
"yes, thank you Jaken." She said softly petting the imp's head a bit as she walked to the eating area..
"so, you are hungry. come, Rin wanted you to sit next to her."
"Kagome! Sit by me!"
"there is no point in starving myself, huh, Jaken?"
"uh, no, no point at all." The imp answered scared a bit.
"*sits down next to Rin* wow, this tastes delicious." Kagome complimented, well, whoever made the sandwich
"yes, it does." Commented Sesshomaru in the same emotionless tone.
{MAJOR A/N I'm sorry if any characters act, well not themselves, beyond the normal fanfic levels, (I personally have kind of strict fanfic ethics, but that is just me. Again, if they act WAY occ please just bare with me.) as in noticeably weird, like if Sango rubbed Miroku's butt and he slapped her. Or Inuyasha was acting like his half brother, I'm so sorry if any characters are major odcc (Out of Decent Character Context)}
"so, Kagome do you need help with anything?" Sesshomaru asked eating his lunch. Still in his I don't care, whatever, tone.
"actually, yes there is something Sesshomaru"
{A/N I think the name Sesshomaru, it is adorable and fun to say! *says Sesshomaru many many times*}
"what is it?" Sesshomaru asked sounding almost... intrigued.{ A/N weird moment, GO!}
"I was thinking since you grew up with Inuyasha you can help me figure something out."
"you mean you don't know him well enough already?"
"no, not really, he is hard to figure out sometimes"
"I would guess so." Sesshomaru said sounding some what indifferent or, as if he didn't care at all.
In the forest where Inuyasha and Koga are
"why did you yell at me like that Koga,"
"Kagome was wondering why you wouldn't talk to her after my dive, and I offered to try and get your attention for her."
"but you should have realized, you both smelled like wolf, so my nose told me you were sitting next to me."
"I wasn't, Kagome was, and got her feelings hurt." Koga said calmly as they both ran for Sesshomaru's castle, well Koga was following Inuyasha.
'UGH! Why is it so hard to care about her?' Inuyasha screamed in his head
"hey is that it?"
"*looks up* yeah that's it."
