Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. If I did Kikyou would die an oh-so-horrible death and stay dead. Forever! Muahahahaha! Well...maybe that's just a bit harsh...
Chapter One
"Wait, wait! Listen to this part!" I promise it'll be better!" The raven-haired girl shouted at her friends as they walked away. The three girls stopped and turned around.
"Alright Kagome, it better be!"
"It is…sorta." Kagome whispered the last part an, smiling, turned back to her book. She read aloud, "He was glued to the chair as he watched the mutilated hand…"
"Gaaah! You promised it would be better!" Ayume said as she covered her ears.
Kagome laughed and put the book in her bag, walked over to where her friends were standing and quickly apologized. "I know, I know. I'm sorry, okay? I'm stopping."
They started walking out of the library towards the front doors of the school. "Honestly Kagome, I don't know how you can read that murderous, mutilation junk." Eri said as they left the building.
"I don't know. I guess I've just been desensitized to it I guess."
"You might be, but we aren't."
Kagome smiled, laughing a little and turned around a corner. Looking back she yelled, "See ya, guys!"
Kagome turned around again facing the direction she was walking. 'It's already been three days, maybe I should go back.' She thought, letting out a heavy sigh.
When Kagome got home she went to her room and began packing her backpack with thing she would need in the Feudal Era. She jogged downstairs, seeing her grandfather, little bother and mom all sitting at the supper table.
"Oh, Kagome are you leaving so soon?"
"Yeah mom. It's been three days since I left. Inuyasha's probably getting pretty antsy."
"Well, at least have supper first."
Kagome though for a minute and decided to eat before she left. She laid her bag in the hallway by the front doors and sat down at the table with the rest of her family. She shoveled the food into her mouth, barely chewing. 'I guess I'm a little excited too.' She slowed her eating as she thought. 'I can't wait to see Inuyasha again.'
Kagome finished her meal and grabbed her bag while she ran out the door. She slid open the door to the well house and walked down the stairs, keeping her eyes on the well the entire time. She stopped when she reached the edge of the well. 'It's been a long time I first went through the well. And met Inuyasha.'
She found herself thinking about him a lot recently. She rested herself against the edge of the well and though again. 'It's not as if I'm in love with him or anything.' She shook her head, clearing her thoughts as she jumped.
Inuyasha sat by the well. His arms were resting against the not-so-sturdy edge, his chin lying on his arms. 'It's been three days, where is she?' He sighed and looked down in to the well.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome called up to him as she saw his head sticking out from the side.
"What the-" He fell back, an expression of surprise plastered on his face.
Kagome struggled out of the well and stood infront of him. "Well thanks for all of your help!" She said, her voice dripping with sarcasm and a slight glare held in her eyes.
"Hey you sca…uh…surprised me." Inuyasha said as he stood up and folded his arms across his chest.
"Kagome, your back." Sango said, seemingly appearing from out of nowhere. Miroku, Shippou and Kirara following behind her.
"Kagome!" Shippou shouted as he jumped into her arms. "Your back!"
"I was only gone for three days, Shippou." Kagome laughed.
"Well, it's about time you got back. Inuyasha's been moping around the entire time you've been gone." Miroku stated.
"I have not." Inuyasha shouted at him.
"I guess that's why he was at the well when I got here."
"I wasn't!"
They started walking back to the village, still ignoring Inuyasha.
"I think I even heard him mutter your name in his sleep." Miroku said. Kagome knew that they now were just teasing Inuyasha, but she couldn't help but blush a little.
"I DIDN'T!" Inuyasha yelled and hit Miroku on the head.
"Ow."
"Calm down, Inuyasha. We're just joking."
Most of the rest of the way back to the village was silent. A few complaints came from Inuyasha, but all else was quiet until they got there.
"Ah, Kagome. Welcome back." As soon as they entered the village Kaede greeted them. "I suppose ye will be off hunting the jewel shards soon."
"Of course." Inuyasha piped up from beside Kagome. "We've already missed three days off hunting the jewel shards."
"Do you ever think of anything else but hunting the jewel shards?" Kagome asked turning to face him. He looked back at her.
'Hmm, I've never noticed before but, Kagome has pretty eyes…""Hello! Inuyasha?" Kagome waved her hand infront of his face.
"What?"
She sighed. "Never mind." She turned back around and quickened her pace to catch up with Sango, who was already several feet away from her. Inuyasha walked slower and stared at her as she walked away.
'I like her walk…wait! What am I thinking…she's just my jewel shard detector.'
Well, pretty good right? I think so. Review if you want. Flames welcome (Yay! Pretty, pretty fire)!
Cya!
