KUSO

"Kuso!" I cursed and stepped on a twig that had the bad idea of being in my way.

What was that way?

Right now, any that could get me away from Kagome.

It had been a long time since we last had an argument with so much held back anger like the one we had a while ago. I told her about my plans of going with Miroku to work at some villages, like we've been doing lately, and that it would take us about two days. In that moment she became silent, without even attempting to mutter a word, which alerted me. Usually she tells me something like: "Alright, good luck, I agree, bring some paper." However, in that moment her silence felt a stone conjured by a kitsune, right on my chest.

"Something wrong?" I wanted to know, taking a step closer as her hands were organizing herbs inside a box.

"Nothing." Was all the answer I received, and albeit one word doesn't seem dangerous, it was the tone of her voice and her rudeness what didn't quite fit.

I chose silence, waiting for some further clarification, because nothing didn't appear to be what was going on. Seeing as she wasn't adding anything to her word, I brought myself to call her by name.

"Kagome." I used my best tone of question and all the gentleness I could muster. She turned around and stared a thousand demons at me.

"If you are going to go, get out of here already!" Her scream shook my ears, and I almost lifted my hands to stick them to my head in order to avoid the pain.

"But... What..?" I didn't get the chance to express my confusion.

"Get out, I said! I don't need you! It isn't like I miss you when you are out for days! I don't need you here!" Every single one of those statements hurt me. I sniffed the air in case there were tears or something showing me those weren't literal words, yet she kept firm and felt silent in the same way a mountain goes silent after a rockslide.

"Then I'll go right now!" I broke that silence, rising my voice as loudly as I could, because it hurt me and I didn't know how to say it.

"GET OUT!" Was the answer, so violent its energy almost pushed me out of the cabin.

Since then, I've spent half the afternoon wandering about the forest, circling around the cabin that's usually our home. I feel angry, I'm a good partner, or I believe so at least. I bring fish and food from my hunts for us to eat, I've fixed the rooftop twice so that no water slips through inside the cabin during the raining season, I've learnt to prepare that stew Kagome cooks with miso, and I go with Miroku to work even though I know most of the time I'm despised by the villagers. I put in the effort, yet I don't understand.

In the middle of the forest, I hear the sound of steps at a distance, they are hesitant and are Kagome's. Same as her scent. I walk towards her and when we meet, I just look at her, linking our gazes. At first, I want to show her how angry I am, so that she knows she has hurt me; however her chestnut brown eyes are veiled by tears she has a hard time holding back.

"I don't like to be left alone." You express, and then your nothing statement from before begins to make sense.

"You are not left alone, Sango is there." I try, but your lips thin at my reply.

"I don't like to be left without you."

That I do understand. I get close and pull you towards me by your arms, to embrace you with all my love.

"Kuso, Kagome. You should have started there."
