A/N: this is my first Inuyasha fanfic, I will be using song titles that sort of will fit to whats going on in the chapter....SORT of..Also I revised this because I spotted a lot errors. I didn't spell check it. I wrote this in an hour without thinking =]. So hope i already fix the minor errors. Sorry about that,
Summer Love
"From that day,we'd always be together
in our hearts... in our minds
nothing could throw it away"
-David Tavares, "Summer Love"
"I can't wait to fall in love with you
You can't wait to fall in love with me
This just can't be summer love, you'll see
This just can't be summer love (L-O-V-E)"
- Justin Timberlake, "Summer Love"
Kagome was listening to her pink Ipod nano, while patiently waiting for her friends to wake up before starting their travels; to find the fragments of the Shikon Jewel. She had just listened to two songs that had the same song title; but each song had a different perspective. It has only been a year since falling the well and meeting Inuyasha for the first time. She had fallen in the well in mid-August, and realized that she started to fall in love with him after a month together in search of shards and Naraku.
Along the journey, they met Miroku, the lecherous monk, Sango, a demon slayer, and Shippou, a young fox demon. Every one of them came along in order to destroy Naraku for his devious plans. At that point, Kagome realized that Inuyasha was falling for her too but Kikyo would confuse Inuyasha. At last, Kagome had finally convinced him that he had to move on and let go and start all over.
As she was listening to Justin Timberlake's version of the song "Summer Love", she immediately started to visualize Inuyasha singing or humming to the song. Wow, I can actually see him singing this song to me, haha. It has only been three months since killing Naraku, but even after that, we could not regain our relationship to spark like it used. Ahuh I wish I could just leave, but I can't; I have to find the Jewel Shards, this is probably even tougher for Inuyasha than it I for me.She clicked the button and started to listen to the chorus of the other song called "Summer Love" by David Tavares. Even if the song was meant for couples, she listened to the chorus and for it meant that no matter what happened, her and Inuyasha would always love each other as friends and will be together for as long as they want to.
"Hey, Kagome! Are you paying attention or not?" shouted Inuyasha. Kagome quickly opened her eyes, took of her earphones, and turned off her Ipod.
"What is it Inuyasha? Why do you always disturb me when I'm relaxed?!"
"Hey stupid… if you haven't notice that Miroku and Sango and everybody else is awake and read y to leave, so hurry"
"INUYASHA!! SIT!!!!" Kagome shouted, even if they insulted each other, they knew that it was to keep the atmosphere of the group to stay the same.
"Ahuh…Inuyasha when will you ever learn. When will you stop making Lady Kagome so mad." Miroku said, as he was talking to Inuyasha his hand was rubbing on a certain person's rear.
"You PERV!!!!!" Sango yelled as she slapped Miroku's face, "When will you learn to not to invade a woman's privacy, mainly the rear?!"
"Owww…that hurts, Sango. What had happened to my old dear Sango that I loved so much…?"
"Don't push it, Miroku or we'll have to postpone our journey for a week!" replied Sango.
"If you guys are done fooling, we have to get going there are still shard left out there; and we have to get them before any demon does." said Inuyasha as he was rubbing off the dirt from his outfit.
"Before we can go, Inuyasha, can I go to the stream real quick? I need to refill some bottles of water?" pleaded Kagome
"Hurry up then! God we already wasted enough time with Miroku and Sango's argument." said Inuyasha, "but come back safe, ok."
"Thanks, Inuyasha." said Kagome and gave a warming look to him, "I never knew you cared for me."
"Feh…I just don't want to save you this early in our journey." he replied. For Kagome it meant be careful still. After that, she trailed off.
"Inuyasha, how long are you and Kagome are going to stop pretending like everything's normal." asked Sango
"How the hell should I know." answered Inuyasha
"Inuyasha. C'mon be serious for once!" asked Miroku.
"Until Kagome can find someone new to love and care for as more than a friend like me…happy?"
"Yeah" both Sango and Miroku said at the same time.
Kagome was just walking towards the stream until she saw a familiar girl fishing in the water.
"Rin?" asked Kagome as she arrived at the stream. A girl that looks like she was nine years old looks up at her and smiles.
"Lady Kagome, it's so nice to see you again."
"Nice to see you too Rin. What are you doing here by yourself?"
"I'm Not, Master Jaken is near by and so is Lord Sesshoumaru." Rin answered, "I'm just here getting myself some fish to eat."
"Well, let me help you with that." Kagome offered without even acknowledging that she had to return quickly to Inuyasha and the rest of her friends. I guess they can wait a little longer. Considering that, Inuyasha and Sango will argue again and Miroku has to intervene between the two, and Shippou and Kirara are only going to play.
"Ok, thank you Lady Kagome."
It did not take long before an annoying toad like demon to disturb their fishing interrupted them.
"RIN! What are you doing with the priestess??? Lord Sesshoumaru will not be pleased that you have asked for assistance for Inuyasha wench!'' said Jaken. That really got Kagome mad and thinking fast she threw a couple of rocks at Jaken and shouted at him saying.
"You little arrogant toad!!! How dare you insult me as Inuyasha wench! I should kill you right NOW!!" before she made an extra move she heard Rin yell.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, you're here!"
Kagome took her eyes of the toad imp and saw Sesshouamru right before her eyes. She quickly stood straight and looked directly at his eyes.
"Sess—Sesshoumaru, I didn't do anything, ok I Just hit the imp for insulting me. Hope you're not mad?" she asked
"Why would this Sesshoumaru be angry for giving Jaken his punishment?" he said in a stoic expression on his face.
"You mean you didn't like it when Jaken was insulting me?" asked Kagome.
"Don't be foolish, this Sesshoumaru only wanted Jaken to be punished for him yelling at Rin. It has nothing to do with you." he replied.
"Oh…Ok sorry for misunderstanding you then." She turned around and saw that both Rin and Jaken were gone and she was alone with Sesshoumaru, but not for long, she turned back and saw that Sesshouamru was turning to leave. Before he walked away, she asked him a question,
"Lord Sesshoumaru, why do you despise humans so much? O always wanted to know and was thinking on why Rin is always with you if hate humans?" Kagome did not even realize that she had already taken long and her friends were probably worried about her. But what really got Kagome's attention was that Sesshoumaru stopped and turned to look at her; only to see that he was ready to kill her at the spot.
Inuyasha was starting to get worried that the fact that Kagome was not back. He did not sense any danger or her scent of blood to tell him that she was in danger. Either way he was worried. He did not want Kagome to die and let him live with a burden on his back. He was lost in his own thoughts that he did not notice that he was pacing back and forth on the ground and biting his nails.
"Inuyasha, don't worry, Lady Kagome is fine." reassured Miroku
"If you think she is safe then why the hell isn't she back then?" questioned Inuyasha to the monk.
"Maybe she's helping a person in need of help Inuyasha and Miroku is right that Kagome's is safe or else we hear her screaming or you sensing danger near by." said Sango
"Yeah! Inuyasha, don't be such a worrywart. Kagome's tougher than you think…idiot." said Shippou. All of a sudden, Inuyasha's fist hit Shippou's head.
"Owwww…what did you do that for??" asked Shippou.
"Idiot? Why don't you say that in front of my face, Shippou and see that you'll get more pain than my fist hitting your head….." Inuyasha stopped all of sudden.
"What is it Inuyasha?" asked Miroku
"I…I smell Sesshoumaru and his little group. He's near b in the forest...I also smell KAGAOME!!" Inuyasha just started running towards the Kagome direction.
"Inuyasha!!! Wait for us!!" shouted Sango
He didn't stop, he wanted to get to Kagome before his half-brother can injure or even kill Kagome.
