"KAGOME-!"
"LEAVE ME ALONE, INUYASHA!"
Kagome ran as fast as her feet would carry her. She had had it with Inuyasha. He was such an insensitive jerk to her. It's not her fault her body can't heal itself like his can! Her injured foot gave way under her weight, and resulted in her collapsing to the floor.
"Ah!" She clutched at her foot, her face contorted in genuine pain. Inuyasha ran beside her and knelt at her side.
"Kagome, please…let me…" He reached out to gingerly touch her wound, but she batted his hand away.
"It's YOUR fault, so just…" She stood carefully and slowly, squinting one eye in an attempt to shut out the pain slithering up her body.
"…LEAVE ME ALONE!" She tried running again, and after about five steps, fell on her knees. She grabbed her ankle, which received the most damage of her entire leg, tears now streaming down her face, her expression showing nothing but absolute pain. Inuyasha knelt beside her again, this time securing her in a gentle embrace. She was surprised at this…he never acted this way before…
"Kagome…you're hurt, and it's my fault…let me help you…" He softly pleaded with her, his heart wrenched seeing her in pain…especially pain he had caused her. She was stubborn, however and forced herself out of his powerful arms. She had it with trying to be friendly with him. She had it with trying to tell him her feelings for him…and she absolutely had it with Inuyasha in general. She wouldn't tolerate anymore of his arrogant self.
"Inuyasha, if you want to help me, then LEAVE ME BE, MANGY MUTT!" His heart shattered at those last words…and yet he had no idea why. Why would she say that about him? She was mad at him before…but this was worse…
He had pushed her too far.
He just stayed there, knelt on the ground and watched as Kagome limped quickly away until she wasn't in sight. He numbly stood, finding it rather difficult to use any amount of strength at all. With great effort, he made his way through the forest and to a creek. He just sat there, completely dumbstruck at Kagome's last words to him before she limped off.
"…if you want to help me…"
He noted the pain and anger in her voice…in her face. She had tears cascading down her face, and yet…
Why did this phase him so much?
He knew he liked her…a lot…but not this much…
"…then LEAVE ME BE, MANGY MUTT!"
He looked down at his reflection in the water's rippling surface. His face was set in a defeated, broken look. There was no sparkle in his eyes, no energy in his body…
"Kagome…without you…what am I supposed to look forward to getting up to?" He said as he looked up into the sky. He looked down at his reflection again, now hating everything about himself. He clawed the water, shattering the reflection, thinking that if his reflection went away, he would, too. He hit his knees, bowing his head low, sobbing. He had never done this before, he never cared about anyone like this but Kikyo before…
Kagome.
He just knelt there, on the edge of the creek, sobbing as he recalled what happened to his Kagome…
"Come on, Kagome! That's only a scratch!" Inuyasha shouted at Kagome, who had just been sliced across her arm from a thug trying to get a jewel shard. Blood was slowly pouring from her wound, which bothered Inuyasha, but he shrugged it off. She gave him a dark look.
"It's not like my body can heal itself like yours! I'm a mortal!" She snapped at him, clutching at her bleeding arm. He was really worried now, seeing the crimson stain on her shirt slowly grow larger and darker by the second, but he shrugged it off again. She can live.
"Still! It's not like you were stabbed or anything!"
"I can't believe you."
"Believe what?"
"You think that I'm perfect? Well, I'M NOT! I make mistakes, and it's not like you don't either! I'm not as strong as you, so quit trying to act like you're the strongest thing that ever lived and be civil!" Inuyasha couldn't take her anymore, he leaped into the air, drawing one of his clawed hands in a striking position.
"I may not be perfect, but I DON'T CARE!" Before he realized what he was doing, he attacked. His claws gashed her leg, cutting deepest in her ankle. The cut ran up her side, drawing a pool of blood. She gaped at her wound, then at Inuyasha, not believing what had just happened. Without warning, she just started running, saying she couldn't take it anymore. Inuyasha realized what he did a second too late, for Kagome was already about a yard away.
"KAGOME-!"
He opened his tearful eyes, looking at his red reflection once more. He looked at his pointy ears, his fangs, then took his gaze off his reflection and stared at his own claws…
"…MANGY MUTT!"
He was going to have to see her again. He just had to. He needed to tell her everything. Make everything right…make it up to her…
"Kagome…do you realize I am…nothing…without you?" He whispered.
"How very touching."

"Kagome limped off into the forest, reaching a tiny spring she had noticed during one of her previous adventures. She painfully cringed as she knelt beside the surface, ripping a piece of her shirt off and drenching it with water. She wrung the ripped piece off and gingerly dabbed her wounds, still crying. She loved Inuyasha…how could her do this to her? After cleaning the cuts, she laid back and rested for about an hour. By then, she was well enough to walk, so she set out to go back to town…but…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Her heart pounded in her chest. That sounded like…
"Inuyasha…" She was instantly drawn to where the yell was coming from. She found herself running to where the scream came from, which she didn't know she was capable of. Trees and bushes whizzed past her as she felt as though her feet were carrying her there on their own. She came to an abrupt stop at the edge of a clearing, cloaked by a large bush and some tree limbs.
"No…" She gasped. She felt tears threaten her eyes once more, but she forced them down, so as not to alarm her enemy. It was Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, but not what you'd expect. Sesshomaru was looming over Inuyasha's badly injured body. Sesshomaru had fought Inuyasha before, but this time…things were…different. Sesshomaru had his sword drawn to Inuyasha's neck, resting the cold blade on his skin.
"I will ask you again, dear little brother: Where is Kagome?" Sesshomaru said quite calmly, as if he were in the mood for a nice chat with a friend. Inuyasha stared coldly at his half-brother, his expression hard as stone.
"And…I will…tell you a…again: Go…t-to hell." He said in between desperate gasps of air. Kagome had noticed something else about Inuyasha…something she had never seen before…
Inuyasha was crying.
"Well…it looks like we won't be getting it out of you here. Jaken, you do the honors." Sesshomaru said to a little creature with a triangle shaped mouth that was hunched over in a cloak, leaning on a staff with two heads. Jaken nodded to his master.
"Yes, m'lord." Jaken began chanting inaudible words as Sesshomaru continued to hold the sword's icy tip to Inuyasha's neck. Inuyasha turned his eyes over to Kagome, who he had smelled a while ago. Kagome had tears falling down her face, looking at Inuyasha in a way that said, "Hang on! I'll help you!" His eyes returned to the sky as he whispered only just loud enough for Kagome to hear him…
"Kagome…I…I'm sorry…" Her head cocked up slightly. Did he…did he just say he was sorry…to her? He turned his head all the way over to where Kagome was when Sesshomaru wasn't looking. He looked into her beautiful eyes…then he saw her mouth what he never thought he'd hear her say.
"Hold on, Inuyasha. I'm coming for you." His eyes grew wide. Was…was she saying that she would save him? Or was she saying she would save him, then kick his ass for what he did? He didn't have any time to ponder over it, for Jaken had now summoned a portal of darkness into thin air. Sesshomaru grabbed Inuyasha by the neck.
"After you, my little brother." And kicked Inuyasha in the stomach, sending him spinning into the portal, followed by Jaken and Sesshomaru. Kagome watched as the portal began to evaporate. Just before it disappeared, She screamed,
"I'm coming, Inuyasha!" As she jumped into the portal.

I know what you're all thinking: Why hasn't Inuyasha's body started healing? Well, you'll all find out in the second "scroll". I've only just started watching Inuyasha and only read volumes 1, 2, and 3. I'll catch up quick, though. See you in chappie 2!
