InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Cry of Desperation From a Hot Spring ❯ Kagome's Thoughts ( Chapter 1 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Hey everyone, thanks for giving my first fanfiction a chance. I hope everyone likes it. If you don't please tell me. Constructive and character building criticicm only please. Be nice. A small portion of this takes place in the past. I will let you know when this occurs in the story.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately I don't own anything, except maybe a few Inuyasha dvd's and a really cool calender. My Seshy looks so hot in it, oh and Miroku isn't bad either.


It just happened one day. She didn't know when or how, but somehow Kagome found herself falling for Miroku. She couldn't tell anyone. Inuyasha would grow to hate Miroku if she ever told him, maybe even her. Telling Sango was out too. Sango cared for Miroku, Kagome knew that. Still she couldn't shake the feeling that she was the right one for him, definately not Sango. There were times that Sango treated him like dirt. She would barely look at him at times. He would try to get her attention by groping her or flirting with other women. She would flash him a dirty look then slap him or push him into the river. 'I guess he cares for her so much that even her negative attention is a thrill to him.'

'Could he ever see me this way?' Kagome was starting to feel a little depressed now. She sat in complete silence as her thoughts washed over her. 'Why can't Miroku love me instead of her?' She just realized that she had been staring at Miroku. (blush) She turned her head away pretending as if she were looking for Inuyasha. Inuyasha and Sango were away at this time. Kagome had sensed a jewel shard Earlier that day, but it was far off.

(the following is in the past)
Sango had a feeling that the jewel shard Kagome had sensed had to be from Kohaku. Kilala had just caught the scent of Kohaku, Sango was sure of it. Inuyasha, sensing that it was a trap, offered to help Sango find her little brother. They went off to search, leaving the Monk, Kagome and a sound asleep Shippo all alone.

(back to present)
"Kagome, you look so lost in your thoughts. Is their something on your mind?" Miroku asked her with his georgous lavender eyes full of concern. Kagome blushed as she stared into his eyes. "Um, no n-nothing's wrong." She stamered. She was happy he couldn't read those thoughts.

She was not sure exactly what to say. She didn't know if he could ever feel the same way about her. Kagome was scared of rejection. Being rejected by Inuyasha so many times had taken its' toll on her. Maybe a soak in the hot springs would relax her and ease her mind a bit. "I'm going to the hot springs. Make sure Inuyasha doesn't come looking for me. Tell Sango too. I would like to be (sigh)...alone for a little while." Miroku watched her as she arose to leave. "Very well, if you're sure you feel alright. I will ensure that no one disturbs you." Silently he added. 'Most of all Inuyasha. He will come nowhere near where you are bathing. I asure you.'

Kagome sank down into the warmth of the hot spring, the water level coming just below her shoulders. "What am I going to do? I can't just ignore my feelings can I? (Ohhh)" She groaned. "Inuyasha doesn't love me. Miroku loves Sango. Kouga only loves me for the jewel shards. I guess I have no one who truly loves me. Ohhh man, this is so depressing." She could have cried, but the wind dried the tear that had formed in the corner of her eye.


Thanks so much for sticking through. Well, let me know what you think of it so far. Please review.
