Chapter 7: ConfessionsHe had spent the last few days awake and miserable in the God Tree. The whole forest was empty, as if the trees knew that Kagome was gone. Miroku and Shippou had tried to tease him into giving in and going to get her, but they had finally given up, and Sango was so mad at him that she had been seemingly oblivious to his presence for the last couple of days. He had wanted to go after her and bring her back right after she had jumped into that damned well. Why had she been smiling? They had been in the middle of a fight, and she had just given up and smiled. Truthfully he was afraid to try to bring her back, afraid that she would tell him to forget it, that she never wanted to see him again. She has to come back, no one else can purify the jewel. So just go get her dammit. He jumped down from his perch on the Goshinboku and a sound that sounded suspiciously like a whimper escaped his throat. He peered intently over the edge of the well."Now" Miroku screamed as Shippou, Sango, and a handful of villiagers ran toward Inuyasha, who covered his face with his arms. A split second later he was tumbling down the bone eaters well. When he landed with a loud thump at the bottom he cursed loudly. "Fuck!" He could hear children's laughter and he could smell Kagome's flowery scent as he climbed out of the well. When he reached the doors of the well house he flattened his ears against the shrill laughter of the many kids running around inside the shrine. That monk is gonna pay for this.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"I hope Inuyasha isn't too angry with us.""I wouldn't worry too much Sango, I'm sure that by the time he returns he will be so relieved at Kagome's return that he will go easy on us."Shippou peered out from behind Kilala, "Just remember Miroku you promised not to let him thump me."Sango sighed.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kagome tried not to think about him as she hurried about the house helping her mother to distribute punch and snacks to Souta's party guests. She had expected Inuyasha to jump right in after her and try to haul her back, but he hadn't. Maybe he just doesn't want you to come back. She sighed and pushed that thought to the back of her head. He is just so stubborn."Kagome...!""Coming mama!"Kagome forgot all her troubles for the moment and went to help her mother with whatever it was that she needed. She was actually having a nice time despite thinking about a certain Hanyou. Souta's friends were all very nice, and it was adorable to see them all dancing together. She never realised how much she really missed her little brother when she was away in the Fuedal era. In the last three years he had grown into one of the cutest boys in the middle school. All the little girls had crushes on him. it was so cute.Kagome rounded the corner to the kitchen and her smile faltered. There was Inuyasha, arms crossed angrily over the front of hix haori."You ready to come back yet wench."Kagome almost threw a bowl of cheese curls at him."No as you can see Souta's Party is still going on."It was then that Souta joined them in the kitchen."Inuyasha!! I knew you would come Kagome said that you wouldn't, but I knew you would! Come hang out with us."Inuyasha looked back at Kagome as he was pulled into the hall by Souta."Don't forget your hat, she called after him."Inuyasha grunted, but allowed Souta to toss him a blue baseball cap.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~After the last party guest had left, Kagome retreated to her bedroom. It had been fun, but exausting, and all she wanted to do was sleep. Inuyasha had other plans. He followed her upstairs and plopped himself in a corner of her bedroom. Obviously something was bothering him. Kagome tried not to notice, as she picked up her pajamas and made her way to the bathroom to change. When she came back he was sitting on her bed looking down at the ground. Kagome tok a deep breath and went to sit next to him."Are you still mad at me.""No Inuyasha I'm not mad. I just wish that you would talk to me more.""Keh"Everything was silent for a while. Kagome nervously shifted."Inuyasha, the other day...with Kouga...why did you run off? You never answered me when I asked before."Because I was scared. I thought that you wanted to go with him, that you would be better off with him."I didn't run off, it's not like you were gonna let me kill him, so why stick around."Kagome sighed for the billionth time. Asking him to answer truthfully was like pulling teeth. She pulled back the covers, and climbed into bed, Inuyasha hopped onto her window sill and stared out at the God Tree."Kagome...""MMMmm""Did you want to go with him? Do you want to go with Kouga?""If I wanted to go with Kouga I would have gone with him a long time ago. I want to stay with you Inuyasha." I want to be with you always."Kagome...""Yes....""I ran cause I want you to stay too. Promise you woln't go with Kouga."Kagome smiled brightly, "I promise I will never go with Kouga." So he had been afraid she wanted to go with Kouga huh. Imagine that. "Inuyasha, why don't you come and at least sit on the bed? You'll be more comfy."Inuyasha blushed a deep crimson, "Keh I'm fine where I am, just go to sleep Kagome."When her breathing was even and regular, he crawled over to the side of her bed, and gently brushed the hair from her face with his claws. She had promised to stay with him. Again. Kagome.
