Chapter two: Breaking down, Building up
She lay outstretched on her bed, the room was dark; even the moon was nowhere in sight. It probably was no later than one in the morning and she still couldn't sleep. Kagome sighed heavily as she rolled over on her side; she hadn't been sleeping too well lately. Kagome had only been back for a month and she was utterlessly miserable. Her uncle had informed her a few weeks ago that her eleven year old brother Sota had committed suicide while at the Juvenile penitentiary after he had found out that Kagome and their father had gone missing. Her brother knew that their dad hit Kagome constantly, and immediately suspected the worst.
Tears began to pour nonstop down her face as she thought about everything, reliving all the painful memories of her brother Sota. He was so young and yet he was another thing taken away from her. Her uncle had been so kind when he sold his own house, just so she could live in the shrine again. He had told her that it was for her best interest if she never forgot all of those happy years that she had experienced.
Every morning before dawn, Kagome would find herself staring intensely at the well house. She was missing InuYasha so much and she wished that she had stayed with him, even if it wouldn't have lasted long; she really wished that she could see his face one more time. Though she did find herself leaving so she could live her life just like she had told him.
When ever she cried for InuYasha, Kagome would clutch the small container that was held by a chain across her neck. Inside the container was some of his silver and oh so soft hair that he had cut and given to her. The rest was tied in a ribbon and placed in a small box that was locked and kept hidden under the floor boards underneath her bed. Kagome had promised her uncle that she would go back to school and at least finish high school, as well as to come and visit him at the restaurant that he owned.
I wanted to be like you. I wanted everything. So I tried, to be like you. And I got swept away. Oo
She smiled evilly as she watched the Inu hanyou. He was loosing his mind as he watched everything around him so intently. He hadn't slept or eaten anything in a few days and fatigue was beginning to show in the rings under his amber eyes. So far since she had taken up the hobby of practically stalking the deranged hanyou, he hadn't noticed her presence. Her plan and spells were working perfectly.
Covering her mouth with the backside of her hand, Tsubaki, the evil priestess muffled a tired yawn. She wanted to get the ball rolling, but he was practically scaring off every living thing around him, so she would have to use her knowledge or illusions. Smiling wickedly, she got up from her perch and slowly started to make her way from the forest and out into an open clearing. Settling herself down right in eh middle, the evil priestess closed her eyes and began to chant a silent spell that would push InuYasha over the edge of insanity, she would have what she wanted most.
I didn't know that it was so cold and you needed someone to show you the way. So I took your hand and we figured out that when the time comes I'll take you away. Oo
His eyes darted around surrounding, he could feel somebody watching him, but no one was there and there wasn't even a trace of anyone's scent. At first InuYasha thought he was paranoid when he found himself laying out in an open field miles away from where he had stopped once he turned human. So far a month had passed and he didn't have a recollection of how he came to this strange forest, but however he got there it would take him a few days if that to get back to the village where Miroku, Sango and the elderly priestess would be.
The hanyou's ear twitched as he heard what he had thought to be someone trying to hide their yawn. 'Somebody's watching me!' His mind growled angrily, 'But where are they? Why can't I smell their scent? Why can't I see them?'
A rumbling in his stomach told InuYasha that he could no longer go without food and that he needed something that he could eat. Glancing around at the branches of the trees that he happened to be in, he spotted what looked to be some fruit hanging from the tiny, yet strong stems. Getting up from his seat, InuYasha snatched the fruit from the tree and quickly gobbled it down. The taste was sweet and he could feel the food go quickly down his throat, it made him want more.
Eating a few more of the delicious fruits, InuYasha had jumped down out of the tree he was in and headed to the stream that wasn't too far away from where he was. InuYasha passed the open meadows as he ran towards the stream, he could feel an evil aura looming around there and he had immediately stopped and sniffed the air. His ears twitched again as he thought he heard a woman's voice, but he quickly dismissed it. Turning his back to the meadow he began to walk away.
The hanyou stopped right in his tracks, he had began to the ink that he was going crazy until he turned around and saw her standing a few feet away. Her black hair was shinning in the sin, it brought gooseflesh to his skin just looking at her pale body. She was wearing a tank top and a pair of short shorts with what she had told him were tennis shoes.
He asked completely dumbfounded.
He could see her as clear as day standing there. For some unknown reason, seeing her set off many unnerving alarms in his head. It may have been just that InuYasha missed her like the dickens, or how her eyes didn't give off that relaxing demeanor and how her rather large smile seemed almost unreal, completely fake.
InuYasha!" She said too enthusiastically as she clasped her hands together, "I've missed you soo much!"
can you be here?" InuYasha confusedly questioned taking a step in her direction, "Yo-you're supposed to be at home! At your home on the other side of the well..."
know, but I couldn't take it," She said looking towards the forest, "I couldn't stay away. Oh, how much I've missed you!"
Reluctantly he walked towards her, something in his mind told him that her being there in front of him was impossible, that somehow he felt as if Kagome was never supposed to return to him. It was as if they weren't supposed to feel this way, but he immediately shrugged off the bad feelings for this was Kagome. She had promised to return and here she was no, right in front of him staring at his soul with her hungry dead eyes.
'NO!' He told himself, 'Her eyes do not look dead! It's just that I haven't seen her in so long! She has come back to love me, she told me that she might! And I know not to give up hope!'
"Why?" He asked confused, "Why did you come back?....Why are you here Kagome?"
She glanced passed him for a moment before taking a step back, tears brimming from her emotionless eyes, "Do you not feel the same way about me anymore InuYasha?....Since I left have you stopped caring about me?....I only c-ame.." Her sniffle made him shudder, "I came back because...because I l--"
A grill screamed angrily from off away in the distance, "Get your ass back here! Once I catch you, there's going to be hell ta pay!!!" (yes I said TA!)
InuYasha growled as the scent of wolf filled the air. He turned his head glancing in the direction in which the foul smell was becoming more distinct. The Inu hanyou crouched down into the tall grass, completely hidden from anyone's view from land, he was waiting impatiently for the wolf youkai to come out, fir now was a time for fun, his kind of fun.
If you want to, I can save you. I can take you away from here. So lonely inside. so busy out there. And all you wanted was somebody who cares. Oo
Morning had come all too soon for her, and she cursed under her breath as she rolled over on her bed, pulling a pillow over her eyes. She could smell food cooking from down in the kitchen where most likely her uncle would be, like he usually was every Saturday morning on his days off. Inwardly groaning, Kagome peeled off her covers, sat up and looked at her alarm clock on her night stand, it read ten forty-five. Getting out of bed, she grabbed her robe and slowly made her way to the bathroom. Undressing herself and climbing into the shower, she sighed as the warm droplets of water continuously pounding against her nude body, gently washing away the sleepless night's memory; she didn't want to keep depressing herself.
The fragrant smell of oranges and vanilla filled the misty room as she silently washed her hair. The shampoo suds ran down her figure and she had a blank expression on her face, her eyes closed as she tried her hardest not to think about him, about how their life could have been if only she had stayed.
There came a loud knocking at the bathroom door that jolted kagome back to reality. Quickly turning off the water, she put on her robe and rung out her hair as he cautiously stepped out of the porcelain tub and to the door. She opened it and saw her uncle looming over her slightly, his long hair hung loosely at his shoulders, a genuine smile on his face.
there princess," He laughed, "I thought you might want to know that breakfast is ready...Though you didn't have to get out of the shower.."
no it's okay...I was just about done anyway," She lied smiling widely, "So what's for breakfast? I'm practically starving.."
uncle smirked as he leaned against the door, "Food."
Kagome glared at her father-like-figure standing before her, the way he smiled reminded her off InuYasha and right now that wasn't who she had wanted to think about. Rushing passed her uncle, she went to her room and closed the door locking it. Silent tears traveled down her pale face as she let her robe drop to the ground, she headed over to her drawers pulling out her undergarments and slipping them on.
Taking her time staring at the clothes that hung quite lifelessly from their hangers from her closet, she decided on a pale colored sundress that had brightly colored sunflowers all over. It was a rather loose dress that showed off the curves and contours of her mature figure. Spaghetti straps crisscrossed behind her neck as the hem of her dress stopped a little above her knees, showing off her long shapely legs. She stared at herself in the huge mirror that hung on her door, then sighing heavily she slowly put on the small chain necklace, fingering the tiny container that held her left behind lover's hair. It was still a breath taking silver, and it shinned, no glimmered in the sun.
Brushing her hair and braiding it, she quickly tossed on a pair of white flip-flops. Her uncle called them 'thongs', it always made her smile no matter how bad of a mood she was in. Glancing at herself in the mirror, she smiled before she opened her door and headed down the stairs and into the dinning room. Her uncle was sitting at the table, a plat filled with food pushed off to the side and a mug of coffee in front of him. His long fingers wrapped around the rather large green mug. He looked up at her as she entered the room and immediately plastered a smile on his face.
Kagome," He said sullenly, "I'm sorry if I said something to upset you...I didn't mean too.."
don't worry you did no such thing." She replied giving her uncle a reassuring smile, "I've just had a lot of things on my mind and you caught me off guard."
He stood up and that's when she realized that her uncle was in a business suit and his hair was pulled up in a ponytail. She frowned as she sat down at the table and looked down at her food, she all of a sudden lost her appetite.
called for you to come in today didn't they?" She asked.
Her uncle replied just as enthusiastic, "They need me to look at a few more employees, restock inventory. You know all the good stuff."
why?" She questioned curiously, "Don't you run the place?"
Kagome picked up her fork and picked at her food, shoveling some of it into her mouth so her uncle wouldn't worry about her starving. He wouldn't look at her, and that usually wasn't good, because he was hiding something from her and that usually meant a surprise and how she loathed surprises.
I'm sinking slowly, so hurry hold me! Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on. Pleas can you tell me so I can finally see. Where you go when your gone. Oo
that's it for this chapter. I know it's a little boring but I assure you that it will get better! The Scenery change was "All you wanted" by Michelle Branch.
