Disclaimer: I don't own any of Inuyasha's Characters (and for the first chapter I didn't come up with the idea KuroNeko21 did, so check out her great first chapter)
Last time:
I sighed to myself as I decided to see everyone except a certain silver haired hanyou.
Now: Normal POV
Kagome jumped out of the well and unknown to her someone was watching her. So she walked until she was in view of the village and was greeted by some nearby villagers. Kagome decided she should look around the village before seeing her friends.
She walked around until she figured she would go to Kaede's hut, but something deep inside her told her she should walk to Inuyasha's forest.
With Inuyasha in his POV
I could smell Kagome as she jumped out of the well, so I decided to stay away from her but then figured to just watch over her. When I saw she didn't go straight to Kaede's I thought she was looking for me.
'Keh, if she's looking for me she won't find me.'
When Kagome suddenly stopped walking and stopped in thought she headed for the forest and he panicked, 'Does she know I'm here? No that can't be, so then why is she coming this way?'
I watched her carefully but I still was curious about what she was doing, so when she stopped by a calm clearing, where I was, I held my breath.
Normal POV
Kagome walked to a random tree, leaned against it, and closed her eyes. She listened to sound of the nature surrounding her. All while Inuyasha held his breath and finally released it when he saw she had no idea he was there. 'I wonder why I had this feeling to come here, oh well.'Kagome thought but then asked, "What am I going to do?" to no one in particular. She continued, "Can I really trust anyone enough to tell them? Maybe I should just leave and go alone *sighs*yeah maybe I'll do that, but after I say bye to everyone…again. Can I really do that, I mean just leave and live a totally different life with all new people?" Kagome slide her back down the tree and sat on one of the many roots. "I don't want to go alone though."
Inuyasha was confusedly thought, 'What is she talking about, if she chooses to stay in her time she won't live a whole different life plus she had her mom, that old man, her brother, and annoying friends. Has she gone crazy?' Inuyasha was knocked out of his train of thought as Kagome spoke yet again, "Should I tell Inuyasha? Or should I tell Sango? Should I tell anyone? But Shippou won't like the idea of me leaving and possibly not returning, so maybe I can tell him and hope he keeps it to himself. Nah, I should just tell them and hope for the best, but maybe not all of them…" Inuyasha really wanted to know at this point what she was talking about but, when he heard about her not telling the entire group he wondered who she wouldn't tell.
"Inuyasha won't care anyways, it's not like it will affect him much. All he will be losing will be his stupid human jewel detector. So it's settled," and with that she got up and headed back towards the village.
Inuyasha on the other hand was stunned; he didn't think she was just his jewel detector or Kikyo's reincarnation, he thought she was Kagome the woman he deeply cared for. He ran past Kagome so he could make it to the hut before she did and sat in a corner of the hut.
Several minutes later Kagome came in and was greeted with joyful hugs and cries of relief, mostly from Shippou, while Inuyasha just there wondering what she was going to tell everyone else. "Kagome I knew you would come back!" Shippou cried before Sango said, "Kagome your back, that's great!" after those outbursts Miroku said, calmly, "Welcome back Lady Kagome." Kagome blushed when he called her 'lady' seeing as she will be one soon. Inuyasha was the only one who noticed her blush and he wondered why she blushed in the first place, Miroku called her 'Lady Kagome' all the time. Something was going on with Kagome and Inuyasha was gonna to find out.
Kagome couldn't look at Inuyasha, not in the eyes at least. She didn't want to leave without him plus she felt bad that she wasn't planning on telling him her news, though she was still kinda mad at him for yelling so harshly at her. Kagome was mentally debating whether or not to tell Inuyasha and everyone else when suddenly Shippou asked, "Kagome I can't find that candy but I found these pretty boxes, what are they? They don't smell like food."
Kagome's heartbeat sped up and apparently Shippou heard it and asked what was wrong. "Umm… it's nothing really, here give me them please," Kagome replied nervously. Everyone look at her curiously when she got up and left with the two mysterious boxes in her hands. Shippou trotted after her, seconds later, and joined Kagome in a silent walk. Once a couple of minutes passed Shippou asked tread full questions, "Kagome what are in those boxes and why are so scared to show us them?" She only smiled in response and motioned him to sit with her.
"Shippou, would you think differently of me if I didn't look the same?" Kagome curiously asked. "No, you will always be Kagome the sweet and caring miko," Shippou answered as if it was the most obvious answer. She smiled and nodded her head as she got up and took Shippou's hand. "So, let's just say I was somehow a demon, would that be a good or a bad thing?" Shippou's eyes lit up while he responded with a jump and replied, "That would be so cool!" Kagome replied with a hug and said "Good," but mostly to herself.
As they stepped into the hut Kagome let go of Shippou's hand and walked towards Inuyasha. She looked him strait in the eye and gave him a look that said 'Come outside with me.'
Inuyasha got up and followed Kagome out the door, while they both ignored the confused looks Kaede, Sango, Miroku, and Shippou gave them. Once outside the hut and at a good hearing distance away from the others, Kagome stopped to turn towards Inuyasha. "Do you really think I'm a pathetic human?" Inuyasha looked away for a moment then turned to face her again before replying, "At times you can't protect yourself, but that's why I'm here, other than that you're capable of watching over yourself." He turned with a light blush on his face.
Kagome smiled and decided to just tell Inuyasha or at least him first. "*sigh* Inuyasha, I'm not a pathetic human at all," she took out both of the boxes and looked up at the hanyou beside her then continued, "These boxes are gifts from my parents, my birth parents, which were given to me earlier by my so called 'mom'. I know what I'm saying might be confusing so far but this blue box contains a bracelet that will break a spell that was put on me to hide my true features and scent. Once I put it on I will become my true form as a full Inu-Youkai of the northern lands, daughter of Lord Kyoshi and Lady Miya." Kagome closed her eyes and crossed her fingers hoping she would get a good reaction.
