Chapter 2: Avoidence
Kagome continued to think, while she was deep into her thoughts, she didn't notice when someone walked into the room, they gasped. Snapping out of her thoughts, she smelled the scent of choclate and cinnamon. She turned and saw Inuyasha standing in the door way. Narrowing her eyes coldly, she growls and walks passed him not bothing to give him a second glance. Inuyasha's ears folded against his head as he looked down at the ground, a deep frown on his face as his eyes watered up. Whimpering he slid down the wall, to sit on the floor.
'I'm so sorry Kagome.' He thought as he cried silently, his head rested against his knees. He knew let anyone see him cry, he didn't want to be seen as a wimp. Everyone seen this, Sango frowned, looking at where Kagome was, she saw her still walking down the hall ignoring everyone who had been standing outside the room. Miroku sighed as he followed after Kagome. He reached out and grabbed a hold of Kagome's arm.
"Kagome, you can't be mad at Inuyasha forever. I know what he had done was wrong. But you must understand, he is confused." Miroku said, as he watched Kagome stop in mid-step which told him that she was listening to what he was saying. She growled low in her throat.
"No, Miroku. You have to understand, it is his fault my life had to be saved. Why didn't you fools let me die?" Kagome snapped as she pulled her arm away from Miroku leaving the hallway and into another room. Miroku sighed as he walked back to where Sango, Kaede and Inuyasha were. He looked out the window, and saw Shippo playing tag with a girl his age named Sakuma, she had long black hair much like Kagome's only it didn't have a blue tint to it, it had pink streaks. She had green eyes much like Shippo's and a kitsune tail as well. She had fox ears on her head.
"Did you get through to Kagome?" Sango asked Miroku who took a seat in a chair. He sighed again, with a frown.
"No. She's angry at Inuyasha. I don't know how long this will last," Miroku replied. "I think she is avoiding him." He said looking at the hanyou with sympathy. He knew that Inuyasha was crying; he was just in much pain as Kagome was. He didn't want to be ignored, he didn't ask for this, and he also knew that what he had done with Kikyo was wrong. He had made love to her, and Miroku was sure that Kagome had witnessed it with a front row seat. Which is what most likely made her so cold torwards Inuyasha.
"This won't be any good for both Kagome and Inuyasha. Inuyasha looks like he regrets everything he had done." Sango said as she sighed. Sango then walked down the hall, in the direction that Kagome had walked in. She then opened the door, to see Kagome sitting on the window seal, one leg bent up while the other one was hanging off the window seal, she could see the tears that flowed down Kagome's cheeks and knew she was struggling with this.
"Kagome, you need to forgive Inuyasha. You know how he is," Sango said as she approached her friend. Kagome turned and looked at Sango, then glared daggers at her.
"Forgive him? Are you crazy, Sango? There is no way I am doing that." Kagome hissed as she glared. The glare was colder then Sesshomaru's, it would have made him proud to know that he now had a long lost twin who acted just like him. Cold, emotionless.
"No I am not! You need to talk to him, to hear what he has to say." Sango said in repremanding tone as if she was scolding her child.
"I won't. Leave me alone Sango." Kagome snapped then looked back out the window.
"You need too! Look, I don't think that Inuyasha can stand you ignoring him. He's been ignored his entire life." Sango said as she sat down on the bed.
"Well he can deal with that. Because I hate him." Kagome said as she growled angrily.
"You don't mean that. Come on Kagome, go talk to him. Sort this out, between the two of you," Sango said, her tone leaving no room for arguments. Kagome sighed, as she nodded silently walking out of the room. Kagome walked towards the room she had left Inuyasha in, when she got there, she saw that he was sitting on the floor, crying. They were heart wretching cries. She wanted to console him; but wouldn't that be going back on her words? She hated him, she wanted nothing to do with him. What he did, had shattered her heart into a million pieces. She couldn't do it. She was going to avoid him after this.
"Inuyasha. I'm not mad at you anymore. But I won't forgive you just yet." Kagome said as she looked down at the sobbing hanyou.
The hanyou didn't reply, but kept crying. He looked heartbroken, as if he had lost something. As if that something was never coming back. Kagome frowned, did her ignoring him hurt him that bad? Kneeling down to his level, she caressed his cheek, bringing his head up to look in his eyes. When she did she gasped, there was so much pain in those eyes alone. What had she done?
"I am sorry Inuyasha. So sorry, I won't forgive you just yet. You have to work in order to gain my trust again," Kagome said as she leaned in to kiss his cheek, then kissed away his tears.
"So don't cry okay?" She said as she forced a smile, with that said she turned and walked away. She would avoid him, if she saw him again and saw that pain in his eyes again, she'd break down. She would not forgive him so easily. Walking out of the building, she gasped. There standing in his glory was Sesshomaru himself. He looked at her with those cold emotionless eyes. Taking a step towards him she crossed her arms over her chest.
"What are you doing here Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked as she raised her eyebrow at him.
"Why this Sesshomaru is here, is none of your business miko. I felt a surge of power and came to investigate. I see you have changed. You are an inu demoness now. How did that come to be?" Sesshomaru said coldly, as he narrowed his eyes daring her to lie to him.
"Kaede had to save my life by turning me into an inu demoness. That power surge was indeed me." Kagome said coldly back, narrowing her eyes warning him to stay away from her.
"Hn," Sesshomaru said before vanishing from sight. Kagome sighed, why did she have to run into the ice lord? He was always so cold. Suddenly Kagome felt three jewel shards coming at her fast. She sighed, then groaned. The last person she wanted to see was the wolf prince Koga. Why couldn't he leave her alone?
In moments, Koga was standing in front of her, she watched him look around the area until his icy sky blue eyes foucused on her.
"Who are you, wench? And where's my woman?" Koga asked as he narrowed his eyes and sniffed the air. Kagome sighed, how she hated being called his woman.
"Are you that dumb Koga? Can you not sense that it is me, Kagome? And I'm not your woman Koga," Kagome said with an annoyed sigh.
Koga's eyes widened as he looked at her closely. "No there is no way that you are Kagome. Kagome was human! You're just an inu bitch! Now tell me where Kagome is." Koga said in a demanding tone. Kagome then growled as she glared at him in anger.
"I will tell you right now, Koga. You are on very thin ice. I am Kagome, and yes I'm an inu bitch. But if you so much as call me that again, I will kick your ass wolf," Kagome snapped glaring at Koga.
"Kagome? What's going on out here? Oh hi Koga. Yes, this is Kagome." Sango said as she walked out of Kaede's hut.
"How did this happen?" Koga asked raising his eyebrow as he looked at Sango.
"We had no choice in the matter, Kaede used a potion and turned Kagome into a inu youkai." Sango explained.
"But why? What reason would the old miko need to do that..." Koga asked.
"Because if we didn't, Kagome would have died," Sango stated.
"WHAT! That damn mutt nearly got my woman killed?! Oh I will kill that stupid mutt!" Koga yelled angrily as he stomped towards Kaede's hut intending to harm one very depressed hanyou who didn't even know Koga was outside the hut at the moment.
"No you will not." Kagome said as she karate chopped Koga's neck knocking him out. After Koga fell to the ground unconscious, she turned to Sango.
"Watch the camp, I will be gone for a while." Kagome said before Sango could reply, Kagome was already gone.
This was the start of Kagome's avoidence to Inuyasha. Sango sighed, now what was she to do? She had a depressed hanyou in Kaede's hut, and a knocked out wolf laying motionless on the ground at her feet. Sighing, she grabbed a hold of Koga's arms pulling him inside Kaede's hut. Kaede turned when she noticed Sango pulling an unconscious Koga.
Inuyasha who had stopped crying some time ago, growled when he saw Koga being pulled by Sango.
"What the hell are you doing with Koga?" Inuyasha said as he growled.
"Getting him inside. You don't want him to get uncomfortable do you?" Sango said as she placed Koga on a futon.
"I could care less if he was uncomfortable or not." Inuyasha scoffed as he went outside and sat in his tree.
