InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ For the Love of a Miko ❯ Chapter 3

Hey it's me again.........(groans all around)....."Sigh" You don't have to make it sound like that. Lucky for my few fans, I am a hard person to kill, and I will be resilient. Bwahahaha. I guess the saying is true...You can't kill what you can't see. Well here's my next installment. I'm open to constructive critisizm, but please no flames.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, or any of the characters, but I do own a real wolf named Kouga! Hehehehe

Recap:

On the other side of the clearing, a demon poked his head up from behind a bush. 'So that's how to get to Kagome's time.' Kouga lifted himself up. He could still smell the anger in Inuyasha's scent. Pleased that the miko's plan was working he rubbed fealing back into his legs. Now to find Kagome's companions.

For the Love of a Miko: Chapter 3

Kagome sighed to herself as the wind played with her hair. She settled herself next to a nearby tree and opened her goemetery book. 'This is much better,' she thought to herself.

Kagome began to drift in and out of consiousness until she fell into sleep.

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````````````````````````````````

"Where am I?" Kagome asked. She stood up to absorb her surroundings. She couldn't see the floor, or the sky. Everything was black. Slowly color began to creep into the dreamscape. She could just make out Inuyasha's form as he walked closer to her. The scenery seamed to follow him, because as he came closer, Kagome could make out the well and the treeline. She was in the clearing by Kaede's village.

Inuyasha stopped a few feet away from her. His expression was blank and emotionless. He did not speak or even acknowledge her presence. Kagome thought now would be the best time to voice her opinion of him.

"Inuyasha, why do you get moody every time Kikyo appears? Why do you get so jealous why Kouga shows up? Why should you care, you've already swore to protect Kikyo? So why do you do this to me?" Kagome searched his eyes imploringly for some answer to her questions. She didn't find one. Inuyasha just stood there with a hurt expression on his face. "Why don't you answer me!" She yelled.

Slowly Inuyasha began to dissolve, the color dissapated with him. Kikyo appeared in his place, but the color did not return. "What do you want?" Kagome asked trying to sound as menacing as possible.

"You can never love him as much as I do." Kikyo started, "I died for him, what did you ever do? He can't love you. All you are is a bad imitation of me. To think he ever thought you were me."

Kagome began to cry as Kikyo's words seared through her soul. "He may have loved you first, but all you are now is part of my soul in a sculptured pot. Get a clue!" She screamed.

She woke up mad at herself for giving Kikyo the pleasure of making her cry in her own dream, and the fact that she had fallen asleap next to a stupid tree. Now her back hurt, she was in a bad mood, it was dark, and she still hadn't finished studying! She picked up her books and made her way back to her house.

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ``````````````````````````````````

Inuyasha reached Kagome's front door. He opened the door expecting to hear the usual goings on inside, but it was quiet. 'What the hell' he thought to himself, 'and here I was all prepared to make a complete fool out of myself and beg for her forgivness, but the stupid wench isn't even here!' He mentally slapped himself, 'I need to stop calling Kagome that, no wonder she thinks I hate her.'

He found himself walking up the stairs to Kagome's room. He openned the door and was not suprised to see it empty. He sat down in the middle of her room letting her scent cascade over his body. He loved the way she smealt though he would never admit it to her.

Inuyasha jumped as the sound of his grumbling stomache shattered the surrounding peace and quiet. 'Damn, I wonder in Kagome would mind if I got myself a little snack,' he thought to himself, 'of course she wouldn't, not after the apology I have planned for her.' A wicked smile broke over his features as he ran his plans over in his mind to check for flaws.

'Let's see, pick her up, take her to the sacred tree, kneel before her, take her hand, confess my sorrow for earlier.' He couldn't controll the smile that beamed within himself. 'Who cares if I don't mean it, if I'm gonna make a fool out of myself, I might as well do it with style, besides if this is what it takes to get my shard detector back, then it's worth it.'

Inuyasha began to rummage through her refrigerator. He found a few tubs of left overs that smealt promising. He tore off the lids and devoured their contents. He dropped the empty tub-a-ware onto the floor, and turned his search to the cupboards. He found a variety of canned goods, and dried foods to satisfy his hunger. When ther was nothing left to eat, and his hunger subdues, Inuyasha looked around at the carnage before him. Empty boxes, cans, and bits of food were strewn all over the place.

He heard a door slam and turned to see a fuming Kagome. His face paled as he braced himself for the up in coming 'sit' commands. They never came. Comfused he looked up and saw that Kagome had turned her back to him and was leaving the room.

Inuyasha followed her up the stairs, and into her room. Neither of them said a word. She sat at her desk, and Inuyasha kept his vigilence on her window sill. Kagome was still trying to figure out why Inuyasha was there when he broke the silence. "I'm........sorry...... about the kitchen," he added. Kagome's head shot up. 'Was he apologizing for the kitchen? What about his actions earlier? He is such a jerk!'

Inuyasha cleared his throat. "Are you still mad about the fight earlier?" He asked. Kagome looked down at her feet. She tried to surpress her anger from earlier. She wanted to answer him as truthfully as possible without giving anything away. She knew that if they started to argue, she would end up saying something she would regret.

"No," she began, "and yes." She was hoping he would leave it at that, but somehow knew what his responce would be. She didn't have to wait long.

"What do you mean no AND yes?!" He screamed at her. "You have no reason to hold a grudge over me. All I did was try to protect you, and I get sat! You on the other hand had no problem with him kissing you, but it's my fault isn't it. It's always my fault!"

Kagome sat there, her anger now uncontrollable. "I tried to keep him from kissing me, but I am only a stupid weak human as you point out every chance you get. It's not like I could keep him from doing it. Where were you when all this was going on? You have no right to point the finger at me anyways! I'm not the one who runs off with an ex-lover whenever she looks my way. I'm not the one who cares for one person, but enjoys tearing out the heart of the one wench who REALLY cares for me! You have no right to be jealous of Kouga! You should know by now that his love for me is completely one sided!"

Her anger now spent, she turned her back to a very stunned and speachless Inuyasha. She curled herself up into a fetal position and let her pent up tears stream freely down her cheeks. Inuyasha walked over to the sobbing miko and placed her hand on her back.

'Damnit this is not what I had planned,' He cursed to himself.

Kagome tensed as she fealt the warmth of Inuyasha's hand pressed on her back. "Leave Inuyasha, before I blow up again, and we BOTH end up saying stuff we don't mean."

Inuyasha's heart drooped to the floor as he was told to leave. She had never turned him away before. He turned and left the room, leaving the quietly sobbing miko to her torments.

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````````

Inuyasha leaped from the confines of the well. He sniffed the air, and immediately made a mad dash towards the village of Kaede.

"KOUGA!"

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````````````````````````````````````````````````````
