InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Finding Kagome ❯ Chapter 7: Jealousy ( Chapter 7 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

I do not own Inuyasha….only in my dreams.
 
 
She was staring into a pool of amber. She was drowning, suffocating. She needed air. But she wanted to remain in the pool. She was getting drowsy. She knew she should pull away before it was too late. But she couldn't. It took her a moment to realize that his arms were on either side of her. He was on top of her. And he was so close. So close that she could feel his warm breath on her cheek. She stared at him and he stared right back. The two looked at each other as if searching for something.
 
Inuyasha stood there dumbfounded. He went out to find Kagome but instead he saw them…in such an intimate position. At first he was worried but now he was just plain mad. He felt anger bubbling inside him, as he looked at them fury and sorrow shot through him. Seeing Kagome like that with someone else hurt.
 
“Get off Kagome, Sesshomaru,” he growled.
 
 
Sesshomaru was looking into the deepest pool of chocolate brown eyes ever. He felt as if he was being pulled towards her. It was a while before he realized that he was moving closer to her, ever so slowly. They were so close, merely centimeters apart, when he heard a familiar voice calling him.
 
“Get off Kagome, Sesshomaru.”
 
He quickly regained and pulled himself away.
 
 
So close
 
Her mind whispered. Suddenly all the warmth was gone. Kagome looked up to see Inuyasha looking at her, but then he turned his head and walked back to the cave. Turning her head she saw Sesshomaru looking at her, but then he too walked away, but in the opposite direction that Inuyasha went.
 
 
The fire was licking the fish as it turned to a golden hue. The aroma was spreading around in the cave. Kagome poked the fish one last time to make sure that it was fully cooked. Satisfied that it was cooked, Kagome took one out of the burning flame and walked to Inuyasha.
 
“Here Inuyasha, you haven't eaten anything all day,” she said, handing him the fish on a stick.
 
“Not hungry,” was Inuyasha's response.
 
Kagome had enough.
 
“What's wrong with you today? You've been sulking around all day.”
 
Inuyasha looked up, his eyes burning with a passionate anger.
 
“What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? It's you! I thought you were in danger, only to see that you were enjoying your time with Sesshomaru,” he spitted out his half brother's name in distaste,” So is that why you refuse to come back with me? Am I not good enough for you cause I'm hanyou? Or have you been going to him behind my back all these times?”
 
Kagome stared at Inuyasha in shock. Anger built up in her, “Is that what you think Inuyasha? Is it? Well, keep believing that if you want to,” in a lower voice she whispered, “I just thought that you knew me better than that. I guess I'm wrong but at least now I know how you think of me.” Tears formed around her eyes but none fell. She refused to let him win. She turned and walked away.
 
Inuyasha stood there. His anger was all gone, only to be replaced with pain. She was right. Even he didn't believe that he just said that. He knew that she was not that kind of a person. Guilt began to take over and he paced around the cave, muttering to himself. Thinking of ways to apologize to Kagome.
 
 
Sesshomaru walked deeper into the forest. Finding a good sakura tree in a clearing he jumped to the top and lay down. Confusion flicked in and out of him. That moment with her changed everything. He felt so free that moment. He was mad, mad at the fact that he wasn't disgusted. Just the thoughts of being near humans made him want to throw up. But with her it felt good. It was very disturbing that someone could have this kind of an affect on him.
 
I am Lord of the Western Land. I will not fall for a human. I will not be weak.
 
He chanted that over and over again, trying to prove to himself that he was wrong.
 
 
Kagome was fuming. Her aura was flaming around her. She set out to a clearing to pick up some herbs for Rin and for Inuyasha.
 
Inuyasha, I shouldn't even bother about him. What a jerk! So he sees me as a traitor as well as a jewel detector!
 
After collecting a good amount of herbs, she set back to the cave. Along away she came to a clearing. The moon was already up and the stars were shining brightly. She sighed and decided to watch the stars for a while to calm herself down.
 
The crescent moon…just like the on his forehead. Why does he affect me so? What is happening to me? That moment, the whole world could've ended and I wouldn't have known it. It was just me and him…and the sensation. Kami! Help me!
 
She shook her head and continued to walk. It was raining again. Thunder and lightning flashed back and forth. She tripped again.
 
“Kami! Why torture me so? Have I not had enough? Have mercy on me!” Kagome screamed up to heaven along with the thunder and lightning.
 
 
It was late. Inuyasha was getting worried. Kagome had been out for a while. He knew that she could defend herself, but he was still worried. That brother of his was already here. He was staring into space in his arrogant way.
 
How I wish I could beat up that bastard!
 
Inuyasha lifted his head up and sniffed the air. Turning his head he saw Kagome there. Relief went through him for a minute before he was guilt stricken once again.
 
Kagome was soaking wet. Her hair clung closely to her and she was shivering uncontrollably.
 
Kagome looked around and turned her attention to Inuyasha.
 
“You should be asleep to help heal your wounds,” she scolded lightly.
 
“Feh!” Inuyasha said, but he still turned away and went to sleep, afraid that if he didn't she would get madder.
 
Kagome smiled to herself. Inuyasha could be cute at times. Then turning her head to the other demon, she nodded at him. After drying off Kagome prepared to go to sleep but she can't with so many thoughts on her mind.
 
Two hours later Rin let out another deafening scream.
 
Kagome opened her eyes and quickly darted over to Rin. Sesshomaru was keeping Rin from killing herself. Kagome let some of her powers into Rin. Inuyasha was at her side in an instant. Kagome eyes shot open and she almost fell.
 
“It's not going to hold her for long, I used too much of my power last time. It's even stronger this time, the curse. I didn't get enough herbs. Inuyasha, I need you to find me this herb, and quickly,” said Kagome.
 
She found one in her bag and handed to Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked at her, reluctant to leave her in such a state. Kagome nodded telling him that it was all right.
 
“I'll be back as soon as possible,” was what he said before darting off.
 
Sighing she sat up and brewed up some medicine. Then she made some paste out of some herbs.
 
Sesshomaru couldn't help but stare at her. He was amazed that she could hold on for so long. Then he noticed that she was shivering from the cold.
 
Kagome was still making some paste when she felt something warm draped over her shoulder. Looking up she saw that Sesshomaru gave her his pelt.
 
“Th-Thank You,” she said. He said nothing, but nodded.
 
She turned around to finish her paste. Just as she was done, Rin let out another scream. Dark energy was pouring out from her. Kagome told Sesshomaru to give Rin the medicine while she was transferring her energy to Rin.
 
Inuyasha bounded into the room just then with a bunch of herbs. When Rin stopped screaming Kagome let her hand down and fell when Sesshomaru caught her. She whispered to him, “Brew some medicine with the herbs Inuyasha has. Then spread some paste on the scar and that should hold her for a while.” With that the world went black for Kagome and she fainted.
