A Reason For Everything
Chapter 6: Looking back
"Inuyasha?" Someone said poking him in the ribs, obviously trying to wake him up. Inuyasha lazily opened his eyes to see Kagome standing over him, smiling.
"What?" He grumbled back, pulling the covers back over his head. Kagome shook her head and yanked the blanket off of him, or at least she tried to, Inuyasha had a firm grip on it.
"Come on Inuyasha we have to go to school in like 20 minutes, and you need to get ready." She whined.
"Fine." Was all she got out of the hanyou as he sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, waiting patiently outside in the hallway while Inuyasha got dressed.
"Yeah?" he responded.
"If it's not any trouble…… I was…..kind of wandering what happened to you last night."
Kagome heard shuffling and the door she was leaning on open, leaving her to fall right into Inuyasha. Blushing Kagome regain her posture and picked up her book bag before looking back at him.
"No offense," He started. "But I don't think it's any of your business right now." Kagome bowed her head and followed behind him as he walked downstairs and out the door.
The walk to school had been boring and quiet. Kagome couldn't help but let her mind wander to Inuyasha and the wounds, which she might add he did not let her clean and tend to, he had gotten. Her first assumption was that he had gotten in a fight. Maybe he did it to himself? Who knows, guess she was just going to have to get an answer from him…. One way or another.

School had been boring, Kagome ignored him, the teachers were on his case, more notes for vet class he forgot to take so he ended up borrowing Kagome's notebook. Speaking of Kagome, she left right when the bell rang, without a word to him, or without some acknowledgement. Now he was stuck walking home alone. Inuyasha stopped in his tracks… He couldn't go home, no, not after what happened last night. Maybe he could ask Kagome again? No, probably not after all she hadn't talk to him all day, so why would she let him stay? He sighed. Guess it was another night of sleeping on the park bench like he used to when he was little.
000000 Flash back 000000
Tears streaked clear paths down the dirty cheeks of a nine-year-old sliver haired boy. Taking a tiny fist he rubbed away the dirt, tears and sweat, from running so far and hard, from his sweet honeyed glazed amber eyes. Not even caring what he looked like he sat himself down on a bench and kept his eyes downcast. He stayed that way for a while before he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder. Looking up he saw a sweet and gentle, smiling face of a stranger, putting on a tough-guy act he pushed away the woman's hand and looked away. Instead of scolding him, or correcting him, she just simply chuckled and sat next to him.
"You know," She began to speak in a calm and easing voice that sounded like it could sooth even the worst of anyone's troubles.
"When I was a little girl, I used to find it comforting to entrust my troubles to other people. That way I wouldn't bare the pain alone, I would have someone there to help me through it, step by step."
"Yeah but if it's a person that you've never met before, how can you trust them." He asked, still keeping his gaze downcast. The lady placed a finger under his chin to make eye contact.
"Some times we have to let people in before they are no longer strangers. If we always leave them out in the cold, how will they ever know warmth? Most times it's us, who have to show kindness to others before they can finally know it."
Inuayasha just looked at her confused, before it finally clicked in his young mind.
"So you mean that in order for me to trust you I have to let you in? But how do I know I can trust you?" The woman just kept smiling and responded.
"I had a daughter about your age, and I loved her with my all my life's worth. One day she had a fit and burned the most expensive kimono you could come by, and I was so mad at her… that I told her I never wanted to see her again and she was the reason her father left. I guess I was still in pain from what happened with him, and other stuff that I took my anger out on her. When she didn't come home from school one day I feared she took my words too heart and ran away. When I called the police to help me look for her it turned out that on her way home she was hit by a driver. He was on his cell phone and was to busy talking to the other person he didn't notice the speed he was going. I'm sure you can put the rest of the pieces together as to what happened. After my daughters death I became a child psychiatrist, and every so often I come to the park and sure enough I find someone like you. So I try to help any which way I can, in hopes that my daughter could forgive me."
Inuyasha sat there and turned his gaze back to the ground. This women lost everything (in his mind) and was still a caring person, and a person, to him, who seemed to hold no bitterness. Inuyasha closed his eyes and clenched his fist.
"Ever since my mother died three months ago, my father has been getting drunk a lot lately. He always brings home all these girls and then I never see them again. He thinks it's my fault that mom died and he hits me, and he tells me that it was my fault that mom killed herself. I was forced to grow up fast, because she found out about my father 'spending time with other women' and she got really upset about that and just kind of.. gave up on life and I took care of her. My dad never knew, he just knew that I spent a lot of time with my mother and when she died he figured I was behind it."
Inuyasha's eyes watered and he fisted away the tears that began to fall. He got up and ran, he didn't know where and he didn't care. All he cared was that he got away… Away from that spot, away from her, away from his life.
'I don't care if she helps or not….. There's no one that could ever help me and I won't let anyone try.'

Inuyasha's eyes misted, as he thought about that day. After he had calmed down a couple days later he returned to that same spot and waited for that lady, he did that for weeks and finally when she didn't show up after a month of waiting he gave up. Inuyasha sighed, and now he was doing the same to Kagome, she was only trying to help and he was just pushing her away. But what if he told her and his father found out? What would he be able to do if Inutashio came after Kagome? What if she turned him away?
Or….. What if she accepted him?
Sorry short I know but I don't feel well and my mom's sick and we're still taking care of my dad but he's getting better : )
