Ch. 6
"That Kagome is so ignorant!" grumbled Inuyasha. As he got to Kaede's hut, he pulled open the door.
"Hey Kago…Inuyasha?" asked the puzzled kitsune.
"What?" the half-demon answered, "Where's Kagome?"
"That's what we were going to ask you," Sango responded.
"You mean she's not here? Dammit!" cursed the hanyou, and he rushed out to find Kagome.
"Wow Kagome how did you find this place!" Kagome questioned the wolf demon.
"Oh…Just around…" he replied with a grin.
It was a beautiful place. The waterfall rushed over the edge of the cliff, and fell into the stream below. The colored fishes swam by, with the grace of a flock of doves. The birds in the sakura trees chirped their trilling songs, and the sweet smelling fruit sparkled with the night's dew. It was…heaven.
"Oh…" she whispered, "It's so calm and quiet…"
Koga responded right away, "Especially since that mutt-face isn't here."
She ignored the remark, "Thank-you for showing me this Koga, but I must get back to the others. They'll be worried."
"Why are you so eager to get back to that mutt?" he threw at her.
"Inuyasha? I'm really worried about Sango, and Miroku, and Shippo!"
As she started to turn, Koga grabbed her arm and said, "Wait. I have something for you," and with that, he pulled out a necklace of glistening stones, "Here. This was my mother's most favored possession. I want you to have it.
"Oh-I…" she was stunned. The piece of jewelry was so beautiful! And he was giving it to her! She took it into her hands and stared at the beauty of it, "I…thank-you!" was all she could manage.
"Here. Let me take you back," he offered. All she could do was nod.
Shortly after Kagome and Koga left, inuyasha arrived. He had followed the scent up to the waterfall. 'Damn! I missed them again!' he angrily thought. 'He better have not harmed her!'
Kagome got off Koga's back when they reached the hut, and she thanked him with a peck on the cheek, "You had better go before Inuyasha gets back," she warned him. He nodded and ran off.
After she couldn't see him anymore in the distance, she turned around. But instead of heading for the hut, she turned left and followed a path. It led her to edge of a cliff. She sat down by a tree and looked at the stars while slowly drifting off.
