Chapter One: Left Behind


The story starts a couple of minutes after Kagome has given Inu-Yasha some very bad news... She's in love with Kouga and they are going steady. Inu-Yasha runs away from the whole situation and finds himself running through the city with nowhere to go.

***********Inu's POV**********


The people and buildings pass by me quickly as I run through the city of Kagome's era. Good. I want to get away, as far away as I can. I never want to see her stupid face ever again. She can have her precious Kouga. They deserve each other. I'm never going back to the shrine, because if I go back, I'll see them. Kagome and Kouga, together and happy. How could she choose him over me? He's an arrogant jerk, and a tough-talking coward. I curse under my breath as I run. It doesn't matter anymore, Kagome has made her choice, and she chose Kouga. There is no way I can ever go back, because I can never face her again.
I run and I run. I don't know where I'm running, I'm just running. Maybe I figure if I run long enough, I'll get away from the feelings I've had for Kagome for so long. I can feel the hot tears streaming down my face and I wipe them on my sleeve as I run. I need to get out of this city. Its noisy and crowded. I need room to breathe. Out of the corner of my eyes, I see a forest off in the distance. Quickly, I turn and start running in their direction. A forest would be nice, quiet and smelling of pine. I sigh as I run. I'll get away from everything and forget about Kagome.


**********Flashback***********


"Inu-Yasha, I'm sorry," Kagome cried. "I love Kouga, and he loves me."
"But," I sputtered, "what about us? I love you too! And I thought you loved me! All those times we were together, the times you cryed for me, did those mean nothing?!" I began to yell at her.
"I said I was sorry," she was crying harder now. "It's just... Kouga loves me and only me and well you..."
"What?! Kagome, this isn't fair!" I was close to tears.
"Well," Her face grew cold all of a sudden, "No one said life was fair, Inu-Yasha. I've grown tired of always wondering who you loved more. I can't compete with Kikyo. I'm leaving you behind, Inu-Yasha..."



***********Inu's POV**********

Left behind... I'm always left behind, by everyone. I cry openly, the tears falling, staining my face. It doesn't matter. There's no one for me to act tough for anymore, no one I need to impress. I start to run faster, I'm almost to the forest now. It looks so quiet, so peaceful, so totally devoid of people. Humans.... I hate them now. I finally see what my brother was always saying. Humans are horrible, which means I'm horrible too. Or at least half horrible.
The trees engulf me suddenly as I enter the forest. Its peaceful, and fairly quiet. I hear the sound of birds, squacking an alarm, warning all the creatures of the inturder that has entered their woods. "Shhh," I muttered softly, "I just need a place to think, I'm no threat."
A voice from behind the trees speaks softly, "And how do I know that?"
I jumped three feet in the air, literaly. I jump into a tree and look around for the source of the soft-spoken voice. "Who are you?" I ask, upset and embarrassed that someone saw me, tear stains on my face and speaking to birds. A blush creeps onto my face. "And what are you doing here?"
"What am I doing here?" The voice sounded shocked. "These woods belong to my family, I'm allowed here, what are you doing here? And why are you so upset?" I hear worry in his voice, concern...... for me.
I jump down from the tree and look around. "Well, I--uh--I was--umm-- I just needed--errr--someplace quiet to think---and--uhhh," He cut me off there.
"Fine, think all you want. You're lucky, you know," He sounds lost in thought, troubled slightly, "You're lucky I was the one to find you, a lot of my family would have been angry and kicked off of our property."
"Well, I'll--umm-- leave if you want me--"
"There's no need for that. Sit and think as long I you need too," he interrupts.
"Uhhh, thanks. Ummm, I was wondering, who are you?"
He laughs. He has a nice laugh. It has a full sound, it's the laugh of someone who doesn't laugh that often, but still likes a good joke now and then. I smile at the sound. "My name is Yuki," He steps out from behind the trees and I almost choke on the air around me. Grayish-silver hair, violet eyes, pale skin and a soft smile that reveals sparkling white teeth. He's beautiful. I blush again, I know I'm a mess. I must look really bad. I sigh loudly as I step foward. He smiles softly again, "And your name is?"
I blush again, "I'm--uh-- Inu-Yasha?"
He laughs again, throwing his head back, "Is that a question? Do you not know your own name?" He smiles again, teasing me, egging me on, but for some reason, I don't mind. I smile back shyly. "I'm sorry," he said quietly, "I must be interrupting your train of thought."
I'm in a state of shock for almost three seconds, did he think that I don't want to talk to him? I can't think of anything I'd rather do right now! "No--of course not-- you can--uhh--talk to me--umm--as long --uhh--as you want to... only if you want to of course, I mean you don't have to talk to me if you dont want--"
He laughes again. "Thats not it at all. I just thought that you needed to think." He cocks his head to one side and looks up at me. "I thought I was being respectful.......I'll talk to you if u want me to."
"I do! I mean.... Well.... I want to talk to you...." I started loud but by the end I'm speaking softly, very softly. I look at my feet, embarrassed of showing so much emotion to someone I only just met. I scoff my feet, kicking up dirt. My eyes dart back and forth, waiting to see if he'll say anything, but there's nothing. He stops talking, but i don't hear him leaving. I can still smell him. He hasn't moved at all. I look up slowly, not fully looking at Yuki. I'm afraid of what I'll see, I'm afraid he'll be mad, or disgusted..... or...... I don't know...... just some emotion that I don't want to see. Finally, I give up and look at him. He's just staring at me with that soft smile on his face.
"Now, that wasn't hard, was it?" He smiles again, looking up at me with innocent violet eyes, "but it did take a long time for you to do it, you know..."
I look at him shocked. Does that mean that he was just standing there that whole time and waiting for ME to look at HIM? I feel like an idiot. "Well--I--uh--I mean..."
He laughes again, "Forget about it. Let's talk about something else, ok?" He smiles again, tilting his head slightly to one side. I nod my head slowly as I look down at him. I'm taller than he is, not by that much. Maybe four inches.... wait a minute why am I thinking about that?! Why does that matter?! I'm so weird....
"What do you want to talk about?" I ask shyly.
"It doesn't matter to me," he states matter of factly, "Whatever you wan to talk about." He smiles again.
"Uhh," I think for a moment, but I know I can't ask him what I REALLY want to ask him, "Ummm, tell me about yourself?"
"Sure," He smiles at me again, "I'm 16 years old, and a sophmore in high school. I'm very popular..... but I'd rather be left alone to tell you the truth." He looks up at the sky, which is barely visable through the trees, "I live with my cousins, Shigure and Kyo.... I can't stand either of them. There is also a young girl living with us. Her name is Tohru. She cooks and cleans for us. She's nice, if a little ditzy." He smiles. I can tell he's thinking about her. A jealous feeling rises up from the pit of my stomache. I'm angry, and I know why. Yuki looks back at me, "What's wrong, Inu-Yasha?"
I blush, "Nothing..." I mutter under my breath.
He loooks questioningly at me, but doesn't repeat the question, "Fine, do you want to come meet them? I doubt it will be a problem." I stare at him for a moment before nodding my head. If I meet them, then I can figure out whether or not Yuki likes this Tohru girl, and whether or not she likes him back. Then I can know what I should do next.....
