Chapter Two
-With Kagome-
She kept running. She didn't care where she was going as long as it was away from Inu-Yasha. After a while Kagome stopped to take a break. She looked at the ground tears dripping from her face. Kagome wiped away the tears angrily. 'I am not going to cry over you ever again Inu-Yasha. You're nothing to me now.' As she thought that she began to cry even more over frustration. Without her knowing someone was watching her from the shadows.
-With Inu-Yasha and the group-
Shippo was crying when Inu-Yasha told them Kagome was gone. He had just lost the person who was like a mother to him.
"What do you MEAN SHE'S GONE? What did you do now Inu-Yasha?" Sango was screaming at Inu-Yasha at the top of her lungs. Miroku was trying to calm her down but it didn't work.
"Will you shut up? I didn't do anything! Besides we don't need her. We got Kikyo now." Kikyo stepped out from behind Inu-Yasha.
"How can you do that Inu-Yasha? Kagome loved you! Now you just replace her when it was your fault to make her run away!" Sango stormed out of the hut.
"Inu-Yasha you are such a fool." That was all Miroku said as he walked past Inu-Yasha to follow Sango.
"Inu-Yasha. I hate you!" Shippo cried as he walked out. Inu-Yasha just stood there thinking of what they all said.
"Inu-Yasha are you okay?" Kikyo's voice was full of concern.
"Yeah…" was the only thing Inu-Yasha could say.
-With Kagome-
After her break down Kagome thought of just returning to her era and never going back, but there were two problems. One Kagome couldn't leave without Shippo and saying goodbye to Miroku and Sango. They were family to her. Second she was lost.
Kagome looked around when she felt a presence. She looked around trying to spot where this person or thing was. Her hand slowly went to her back for an arrow. When she realized she had left her bow and arrow at Kaede's hut, along with her backpack.
"Come out whoever you are. What do you want?" Kagome yelled. The person spoke.
"What are you doing in my lands wench?"
'Aw crap.' "I'm and terribly sorry Sesshomaru. I'll leave right away." Kagome turned her back towards where Sesshomaru's voice was coming from. Before she realized it Sesshomaru turned her around and had his claws at her throat. Kagome looked at him straight in the eye. Her back was against a tree.
"You will address me as Lord Sesshomaru and never ever have your back towards me unless I dismiss you." Sesshomaru growled at her.
"I'm terrible sorry LORD Sesshomaru." Kagome had a sarcastic tone in what she had said. Sesshomaru noticed this and tightened his grip on her neck. Kagome could still breath but barely.
"Do NOT mock me. What are you doing in my lands and why aren't you with Inu-Yasha? Answer my questions if you want to live." Sesshomaru's face was right up to Kagome's.
"I don't care about Inu-Yasha…" Kagome whispered so low Sesshomaru couldn't even here her.
"What?"
"I SAID I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT BASTARD INU-YASHA!" Kagome screamed right in his face. Sesshomaru let go of her to cover his ears.
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT HIM AT ALL!" Kagome screamed once again. She saw Sesshomaru with his hands to his ears.
"Oh my gosh. I am so sorry." She went over to Sesshomaru and started apologizing. Realizing she had finally stopped screaming he uncovered her ears.
"Are you all right?" Kagome looked up at him with worry in her eyes. Sesshomaru was shocked but he did not show it.
"Yes. Why are you worried about me? I could kill you right now for screaming you head off."
"Well it was my fault and I know how sensitive inu-youkai's hearing is." Sesshomaru stared at her.
"What was the other question you asked?" Kagome went over to a tree and sat down at the bottom of it waiting for him to ask her.
"What are you doing in my lands?" Sesshomaru walked over to another tree across from Kagome and sat down in one of the branches. Kagome sighed and told him the whole story about what happened between her, Inu-Yasha, and Kikyo. After she told him there was silence.
"I can't believe you still went back to him during those other times… You are really dumb wench." Sesshomaru closed his eyes.
"First of all I am not a wench. Second my name is Kagome not miko or wench. Just remember my name is Ka-go-me. I had to go through this when I first met…" Sesshomaru smelt salt. When he looked at her, her eyes were full of tears but they did not fall. He sighed.
"Well I must be going." He jumped down from the tree and started to walk away when Kagome yelled to him.
"WAIT!" Sesshomaru stopped but did not turn his head.
"Can I come with you?" Once she said this Sesshomaru turned his head.
"Why?"
"I can help you. If you want tetsaiga I help you with that. And if you need some one to look after Rin I'll do that too. Please." She bowed towards Sesshomaru. He thought for a moment then nodded.
"But you will be properly trained in martial arts and weapons. And you will in charge of Rin. If anything happens to her you will be held responsible. Understood?" Kagome stood straight a big smile on her face.
"Understood. But can I go back to Kaede's village really quick. I need to grab a couple of stuff and tell my friends."
"Will Inu-Yasha be informed of this?"
"Of course not why should I tell him. He's got Kikyo." Sesshomaru nodded and started walking forward once again only to be stopped again by Kagome.
"Umm… Sesshomaru, can you take me to the village? I don't know which way to go." She heard him sigh.
"Alright." He summoned that cloud thing and they both got on. The cloud sped away towards Kaede's village.
-Kaede's Village-
Sango was lying down in Kaede's hut staring at the top. She glanced over at Kagome's backpack and sighed. 'Where is she?' She was really worried. Kagome was like a sister to her and a mother to Shippo. Why would she just leave without saying goodbye or anything like that? Her thoughts were interrupted when Miroku came in.
"Hello Sango." He sat down next to her.
"Hmm…" He looked at her.
"Is something bothering you?"
"I'm just worried about Kagome."
"We all are. Especially poor Shippo." They looked over to the far corner where Shippo was sitting.
"I know."
-With Kagome and Sesshomaru-
They had reached the bone eater's well when they stopped. They both agreed that Sesshomaru was to stay there when Kagome went to get her stuff. They didn't want Inu-Yasha finding her with him or the others to attack him when they were about to explain. Kagome ran towards the village.
-Kaede's Hut-
Sango and Miroku said nothing to each other for a while. Sango sat up and grabbed her hiraikotsu.
"Sango, what are you doing?" Miroku stood also.
"It's been a whole day Miroku. I can't wait any longer. I'm going out to search for Kagome."
"Hey you guys." Miroku and Sango turned around and saw Kagome standing next to the entrance. Sango ran over to Kagome and gave her a fierce hug.
"Kagome are you alright? We were so worried about you."
"Sango….. air….." Kagome was being strangled by Sango. Sango immediately let go of Kagome. Kagome caught her breath.
"I'm alright. I am going to go with Sesshomaru to his castle to stay with him. I came here to get my things and Shippo. Where is he by the way?" Sango pointed to Shippo in the corner. He didn't here her or the others. Kagome walked over to him and saw that he was asleep.
"Why are you going with Sesshomaru?" Miroku was standing next to Sango. Kagome carried Shippo over next to her backpack.
"I can't stand being around Inu-Yasha anymore." Kagome set Shippo down.
"I knew it was Inu-Yasha that caused you to run off." Sango was red in the face with anger.
"He brought Kikyo to join us in the hunt of the jewels shards. He didn't tell us anything about you except that you left." Miroku looked at Kagome to see if she was sad. Surprisingly her face held no emotion.
"Guys don't be worried about me I'll be fine and please try to be nice to Kikyo." Kagome looked at the two. They weren't surprised that Kagome would say this. Kagome always cared about other people even if they tried to kill you in the past.
"We'll try. But do we have to be nice to Inu-Yasha?" Sango looked like she would kill Inu-Yasha.
"I don't care what you do to him. You guys can also visit but don't tell Inu-Yasha. He will go berserk if he ever found out." Sango and Miroku nodded. Kagome left some ramen for them and some shampoo and other cleaning stuff for Sango. She picked up Shippo and her backpack.
"Bye guys." She smiled at them. The other two waved their hands as Kagome walked off. What they didn't know was that somebody was heard their whole entire conversation and he didn't like it.
Nakamura Ayumi: Well there's chapter two. It was sort of hard trying to come up with a way to end this. I was going to end it earlier but it would have been a really short chapter. Anyways please review. I'll try to make it better and a whole lot more exciting later on in the chapters. So bye.
