Chapter 4:
keeps bringing me back to you" ~ The Calling
Inuyasha's POV ~~~~
I woke up the next morning, it seemed to be late morning already. I wondered why I had slept so long. I was still by the well, where I had fallen asleep. I got up gingerly and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. I let out a howl of a yawn, which I was pretty sure woke up the whole forest. I cracked my back and stretched my legs.
"Are you practicing aerobics Inuyasha?" came a familiar voice from inside the woods.
"What do you want lecher?" I asked, it was still to early in the morning to take any of his crap.
"I was hoping you would still be here. I want you to take me with you when you go to get Kagome." Miroku said easily.
"Who said I was going to see-" Miroku gave me a glance that clearly stated, he wasn't buying my shit, "I don't want you to come, this is something I have to do on my own." I said truthfully.
"I understand. In that case, make sure to tell Kagome we all miss her, and that Shippo thinks she was eaten by a demon." Miroku smiled and nodded me on my way. Now I had no choice but to jump into the well. I glanced at Miroku and in I jumped.
I landed on the other side, looking at an actual ladder. I scoffed to myself, not really knowing why and I jumped out of the well. I smelled Kagome and I stood for a moment just breathing in her heavenly sent. I ran to her house and jumped up to her window. I didn't see her in her room so I sniffed around some more. Her sent was everywhere. I noticed it went in the direction where there were odd looking wheel barrels and dozens of villagers. I sniffed her out until I got to a giant building. "This must be the schooal thing she was talking about." I noticed a kid, about Kagome's age, walk by, "Hey kid. Is this the schooal?" I asked.
"Uhh, yeah this is the school." he emphasized the pronunciation of the building, realizing I had made a mistake I nodded as a thank you. I walked into the building, half expecting her to be standing at the entrance.
"Damn! There is like four hundred doors, which one is she in. There are to many scents." I tried to sniff through the scents but my senses were being clogged by some fruity smelling substance. I noticed the source of the smell a few feet ahead. She was very tall and had long auburn hair. She was kind of creepy though, no one was as cute as Kagome.
"Excuse me. I am a, uhh, new guy." I paused for a moment before continuing, "do you know Kagome Higarashi?" I asked. She nodded her head. "Great! I am in her class, do you know where she is right now?" I asked again trying to act normal.
"I think she has math, that is in room 132." the girl told me.
"Umm, sorry to be a pest but, I have no idea what room that is, could you show me?" the girl smiled and closed the metal compartment she was looking through. We walked up a flight of stairs and down two hallways before the girl stopped pointing into the door. I thanked her and she left. I looked inside the room, I could see her sitting in there. She looked really bored. Suddenly the door opened and an older man stood in front of me.
"Can I help you?" he asked impatiently, but his voice was kind.
"Uhh, yeah new kid. I am suppose to be here in math." I lied.
"Where is your slip?" I looked at him with a questioning glance, "from the office? Saying you are in this class?" I shrugged and then replied,
"They are still sorting things out I think."
"Okay, fine. Come on in, there is a seat over there by Kagome." I smiled to myself. I had no idea what a math class was, but if I got to be near Kagome I didn't care. She was looking out the window now, and apparently hadn't noticed an interruption in her class.
"Now class, we will continue with out lesson on the Algebraic..." the elderly man continued to talk on, but I continued to stare at Kagome, she looked even more gorgeous then normal. Her hair was up today, in a beautiful blue ribbon. She had her same old uniform on, but she still looked amazing.
"Miss Higarashi. You have been absent so much you can't afford to loose this class time. Please pay attention." the elderly man said.
"Sorry sir." Kagome sat up straight and focused eagerly at the front of the room.
A loud bell rang some time later, and all the people moved out of the room. I followed Kagome, she began to talk to some other kids, I assumed they were her friends.
"I know, that class is so dull. I missed so much class and I still understand everything." Kagome laughed with her friends. I hadn't seen her in so long, I forgot what she was like when she laughed. I didn't want to forget any more. Should I just say 'hi'? I thought to myself. I wanted to, but I thought she might freak out. But if there are a lot of people she wont make a scene. I sighed deeply and bit my tongue. I didn't have to say anything, one of her friends already had.
"Hey," she whispered, but I could hear her anyway, due to my inhuman abilities, "that really cute guy is staring at you." she said. I smiled to myself, she thinks I am cute.
"Who?" Kagome asked curiously.
"The one with the silver hair." Kagome turned cautiously around, pretending to flip a stray hair behind her ear. I looked at her without changing my gaze as she stared back at me.
"Inuyasha.." her voice was barely audible. I tried to smile and chuckle, but it came out more like an awkward snort.
"Can I talk to you Kagome?" I asked her, waiting for her to yell 'sit', or just yell in general.
"I don't think so Inuyasha. I don't really have time." I could see her biting back the urge to yell.
"Please Kagome. I am sorry,"
"You know this guy?" one of her friends asked.
"If you don't want him, can I have him?" another friend chimed in.
"Umm, sorry, taken... Kagome, please let me talk to you." I was practically on my hands and knees begging.
"No." she stated flatly, "I have to go to class. Good bye Inuyasha." Kagome walked off with her friends, one of which truend around and mouthed, 'call me' to me and continued to talk to her friends.
"What now? She wont even let me explain." I followed them from a distance. I watched them go into another room. I gazed at her from outside the room. A bell chimed and I left quickly. I followed her to her last class and then to her house. I sat by the shrine all night while she slept. The next morning, I repeated the process. Following her to school, then home. For at least a week this pattern continued.
"Inuyasha! I know you are following me, I am not stupid. Please leave me alone!" Kagome turned around one day on her way to school, addressing me for the time.
"No Kagome. I will follow you until you listen to what I have to say." I retorted. She growled at me and sulked away. Her growl was terribly cute, not frightening at all, and so, as I vowed, I continued to follow her. I had even begun going to her classes, using the same excuse for each class, that I hadn't finished transfering yet. I could see the anger welling inside her, but I refused to give up until she spoke with me.
It was one day, at their afternoon meal that my luck seemed to be changing. I sat with Kagome and her friends, as I had done for a week, making sure Kagome had nowhere to sit, except by me. Growling slightly to herself she relcutantly sat on the edge of the long bench.
"Hello Kagome." I smiled pleasently at her. All her friends seemed to adore me and had no problem with my company.
"Can't you just go away?" Kagome muttered under her breath, but continued smiling at her friends. There conversation was boring, I payed them no attention. I instead continued to look pleadingly in Kagome's direction, if she looked at me I would smile with puppy-dog eyes and pout slightly, at which she would scoff and turn away. Their conversation had ended and I saw my chance to plead again.
"Please Kagome, just let me speak to you. I will stop following you, and leave you alone, just let me talk to you." she didn't even look at me.
"Jeez Kagome, how long can you make him beg? Look at the poor guy, he looks like he hasn't slept in a week, he is dirty. He just wants to talk to you, you can give him that can't you?" her friend spoke on my behalf and I smiled to myself. At last, she appeared defeated.
"Fine! I still have classes Inuyasha. But don't come to my afternoon classes, just wait for me outside the school." a bell rang and she walked off with her friends, and so, I waited.
"How long are these stupid classes anyway!?" I complained to myself, even though I knew because I had sat through them before. I was getting very bored sitting on the school lawn.
"Look at him," a voice said.
"He has a sword,"
"And those ears." People talked about me as they passed and I growled at all of them, I laughed as they quickened their pace out of fear. I heard a final bell ring, and I knew that school must be over. I stood up by the tree and watched person after person come out of the building. I didn't see Kagome though. Everybody was gone and there was hardly a soul still on the grounds, and Kagome wasn't there.
"Where did that girl get to?" I asked myself. She probably just lied to me because she wanted to get rid of me . I thought bleakly to myself. I sat back down on the grass and watched the ground. A small worm was crawling around looking for something unknown to me. I watched him slither and shake, I wondered if he had girl problems. My fascination with the worm continued for some time. The worm started to slowly eat a leaf, for some reason beyond my knowledge, I was transfixed by this creature.
"Sorry I'm late Inuyasha. I actually considered ditching you." I looked up, snapping out of my trance, and saw Kagome trying to smile.
"You don't have to force yourself to smile for me. I don't deserve to see your beautiful smile." I said looking away from her. She kneeled down beside me and I looked to her again.
"Kagome, I am... I am sorry. I lied to Miroku because I didn't want him taunting me, and when I smelled you out side the hut that night, I wanted you to patch things up with your family and I wanted you to be able to be in your own time. I didn't want you to have to be stuck with me, just because you had no where else to go. I made up those things so that you would be happy. I am sorry if I hurt you, but I really was trying to be a nice guy. I understand if you can never forgive me. I don't deserve your grace. Shippo misses you so much, he cries a lot when he thinks no one is looking. Sango and Miroku send their love. I am sorry Kagome. If you don't forgive me I understand. I just had to tell you what really happened, and how I truly feel." I finished my speech but then thought of something else she might like to know, "Oh, and I talked to Kouga. I was going to ask him to help me look for you. He tried to tease me into believe he had, err, claimed you. I almost killed him. But I didn't he told me the truth. I also ran into Kikyo," I couldn't hold anything back, not now that I had gotten this far, "She was being her usual bitchy self, and asked 'oh why don't you love me, come to me' and all that shit, so I told her I loved you and she got pissed off and walked away. I think one day I will kill her, so she can rest in peace." I was going to go off on a tangent some more but Kagome stopped me.
"Inuyasha. I've missed you a lot for these passed weeks. I didn't mean it when I said I hated you, or made you 'sit' so many times."
"Yeah my back hurt for days after that." I smiled jokingly.
"Sorry, I just.. What you said broke my heart Inuyasha. I thought you really loved me, and then I hear you say that and I got so confused. I know you are the type of guy who will lie as his way of saying the exact opposite. I just don't know what to believe with you sometimes. I've missed you, and I can't forget you. I don't know what to do Inuyasha." Kagome's eyes began to fill with tears.
"Kagome, please don't cry. I am not worth your tears." I wiped away a tear that had strayed down her cheek. "You are much to cute to cry, please don't. Besides, you know me. I only tell the truth to you, I usually lie to everyone else. But with you the truth comes out. So believe me when I say I love you, cause I mean it from the depths of my soul. These past weeks have been torture." I gazed into her eyes, I could see sorrow and joy in them. She held cares that a woman of her age shouldn't have to carry. "I'm so sorry Kagome."
"Inuyasha..." she leaned up to me, and put her lips on mine. Her kiss was heaven, I gently kissed her back my tongue gently roaming in her mouth but then I broke away.
"So, you forgive me?" I asked smiling. She laughed back, still crying, but her eyes seemed joyous now.
"Of course I forgive you, you baka!" she jokingly punched my ribs and I laughed holding her close in my arms. Nothing could ruin this moment.
Kagome's POV ~~~~
I was so happy, I knew Inuyasha would never say something as mean as he did that night. How could I have been so stupid. I didn't even really care if I was being naive now. I loved Inuyasha, and I just wanted to be with him. Besides he came all this way to see me, and waited for a week just to talk to me, he followed me in a creepy-stalker like way, came into my classes, talked to my friends, he even turned down his ex-love for me. He was being so nice too. I really loved him; nothing could have ruined this moment.
Then again, I was always wrong. I saw a shadow standing over us, I thought it was probably a teacher who was going to tell us to take out rendezvous somewhere else. I looked up to see something very unexpected.
"After days of searching I finally found you. I had to torture the lecher to find out where you had gone. He gave in soon enough. Probably thought I wouldn't find you. Poor monk." the evil, vicious, inhuman smile. I couldn't stand the sight of her.
"Kikyo?" I heard Inuyasha mumble. I looked to him as his grip around my waist tightened. "What are you doing here? This isn't where you belong!" he shouted angrily.
"You don't belong here either Inuyasha. And that wench doesn't belong in out time, with us. Don't you see? Its you and me, not Kagome and you. Your worlds collide, you will never be truly happy together. That wench probably has a boyfriend in this time, and she only uses you when she is in our time deprived of her boyfriend.
"That is a lie you stupid bitch! I love Inuyasha! You shut the fuck up, or I'll kick your ass!" I tried to stand up and make my anger known, but Inuyasha wouldn't let me go. "Let me go Inuyasha, I can handle it." I looked down at him and my voice turned soft as I spoke to him.
"No, I don't want you to get hurt. I'll take care of it." he whispered into my ear. I could barely hear him, so I was sure Kikyo didn't hear him.
"You are right Kikyo," he said calmly, "I will go back with you. I don't belong here and Kagome doesn't belong there. I will even block that stupid well." I felt myself start to cry, before the effect of his words came across clearly. 'I'll take care of it'. He was going to trick her into going back to their time so he could put her to rest.
"Oh Inuyasha." as Inuyasha stood up Kikyo wrapped her arms around him. She kissed him passionately, in his eyes I could see he wanted to gag. I smiled slightly but decided to play along.
"But Inuyasha, wasn't what we had special." I pretended to cry, this was kind of fun.
"No, I've always been in love with Kikyo, you were just a time filler until I realized where my true feelings lay." he stated plainly. I allowed another fake tear roll down my cheek. My acting must have been really good, as I saw him walk away he turned around and mouthed; 'not really, I love you, come to the well tonight'. Before walking arm in arm with Kikyo even if he was joking, the sight made me want to put my hand through a wall.
Later that night, I had finished all my homework, and was eating dinner with my family. I had missed family dinners in Feudal Japan, but eating with my friends was great, they were practically family. Now I missed eating with them. I couldn't win.
"So what happened at school today?" my mother asked from across the table.
"I saw Inuyasha, again. You know his stalker-like behavior was acutally quite cute. Anyway, he explained himself, and I can't help but believe every word he says. Then Kikyo, your remember his ex-girlfriend, well she came along. So Inuyasha played along with her little game about how him and her are to be together and that I am nothing to him. Blah blah blah, and so he went back through the well with her. Apparently she had to torture Miroku, I do hope the poor guy is alright." I continued to eat some oden and waited for my mothers advice.
"Maybe, Kikyo has a point." she said gingerly.
"WHAT!? I realize, we do have a bit of an, age difference, but mom, maybe I am destined to be with him, maybe that was my fate all along." I put down my oden, suddenly I wasn't hungry.
"That is true too." she said, I was surprised to see her agreeing so easily, "Do what your heart tells you." I smiled and finished dinner in silence.
"Well, I'm off." I said smiling.
"Where are you going? You have school in the morning Kagome." my mother gave me a look, she knew where I was going.
"I swear, if I don't come back by nine, then something terrible must have happened." that didn't reassure her. "Sorry, I will be back by nine, I just want to say goodnight to Inuyasha." I hugged my mom and walked out of the house. Looking down at the well, I began to wonder what would happen on the other side. What if I heard another conversation, that made me angry at him. My heart couldn't take it. Or what if Kikyo has killed him, or what if some other tragic event occurred. My thoughts were flooding my brain. "Well, might as well find out." I jumped into the blackness of the well.
"Hey it worked, I half expected it to spit me back out." I said out loud. I heard raised voices and almost started to cry; this was the part where I heard that Inuyasha was lying to me again. I climbed half way up the well, listening to what the voices had to say.
"Inuyasha, please reconsider. I am far better then that girl, I've always been your love." Kikyo's voice.
"Kikyo, I never knew what love was, until Kagome showed me what it was to love. She believes in me, and she doesn't care what I am, she isn't like you Kikyo. Even if it is true she is your reincarnation, you two are completely different. I love Kagome." my heart melted, he was in love with me. I almost jumped for joy, then remembered I was hanging onto Ivy and could fall at any moment. Should I go and stand with Inuyasha, or should I wait in the well? I thought to myself.
"Inuyasha, please. I know that you think this girl is important to you, but please try to reconsider. Are you really going to kill me?" With that comment, I decided I had to see what was going on. I quietly climbed out of the well.
"Kikyo, please understand, I care about you. I don't want to see you suffer, I think if you die, you'll not only give Kagome the rest of her soul, but you will be free too. I truly think it is for the best Kikyo."
"Inuyasha, your not serious," Kikyo showed no emotion, but I think that if she wasn't made of clay, she would have been crying. "Your wench is here." I tried to hide behind the well, I was hoping to have not been seen.
"Kagome!" he turned around and ran to me, "What are you doing here?"
"You told me to go to the well." I whispered, why was he acting so weird.
"I meant stay on your side, and I would come for you." he whispered back.
"Opps." I smiled at him and he shook his head. "Stay here." he turned his attention back to Kikyo, "I am sorry Kikyo, you have to die. You've tried to many times to ruin my relationship and you have almost killed one of my best friends. I can't allow you in my life anymore, and if this is the only way," he unsheathed his Tetseiga, "then so be it." I couldn't watch, I turned around and sat with my back against the well, humming to myself. Even if she was a psycho, I didn't want to watch someone die.
Kikyo's POV ~~~~
That lying bastard, he tricked me. I thought he really did love me. How could he choose her over me? I didn't know what to think. I watched Inuyasha as his Tetsusaiga blazed. How I loved him. Maybe if I die I will be happy again. I can rest in peace. Yes Inuyasha, kill me. I decided that I had to die, and who better to die for then the one you love?
"Come on Inuyasha. I have accepted my defeat, and I embrace it. Kill me." If I could show emotion, I would have been calm and collected.
"Kikyo." Inuyasha put his Tetsusaiga back, "I am sorry but killing you isn't like killing a demon. You are, technically a real person and I don't kill people."
"Inuyasha kill me!" I said back.
"No, I can't bring myself to watch a human die by my sword,"
"Kill me!"
"No!"
"Fine, I'll kill myself." I grabbed Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga out of its sheath, it transformed for me. "I love you Inuyasha."
Inuyasha's POV ~~~~
"No Kikyo! Stop." I looked away, I couldn't bare to see someone take there own life, even if they were already dead. The smell of clay and ash filled the air. I heard Kagome gasping. "Kagome! What's wrong?" I ran to her.
"My soul, I feel whole again. I have my soul back." she smiled at me with those gorgeous eyes, and I sighed deeply.
"Scare me half to death, I thought you were dying the way you were gasping like a fish," I made an imitation of a dying fish and she jokingly punched me in the stomach. Causing me to laugh. How could I be so happy when someone just killed herself over me?
"You did it then?" she asked.
"No, she took my Tetsusaiga and did it her self. Crap, I need to go get it, be right back." I walked over to the pile of ash and clay and picked up my Tetsusaiga and guided it back into its resting place.
"Inuyasha." Kagome was standing behind me.
"Yeah," I looked to her, she looked almost sad.
"You don't regret it do you? I know she did this herself, but you don't feel remorse, or any sadness do you?"
"Well, actually Kagome, I do. I feel sad that it had to be this way. If she wasn't a clay legion of the undead, I think you and her would have been good friends. It isn't what you are thinking though, I am not sad cause she is gone. I am sad because she is gone like that." I pointed to the pile of ash and clay, "I don't know, but I love you Kagome, don't worry. I didn't love Kikyo, I just felt sympathy for her." I put my arm around Kagome's shoulder and smiled as she placed her hand around my waist.
"Damn!" she suddenly screamed, breaking the trance that held me there.
"What?" I asked looking at her oddly.
"I have to be home in like three seconds." she said looking at a device on her arm, she had once told me it was a watch. "I am sorry Inuyasha, I have school in the morning. I will come back this weekend," she kissed me on the cheek, "two days." she added, probably realizing that I didn't know when this weekend of hers was.
"Want me to walk you home?" I asked, she smiled at me and nodded.
"I would like that." We jumped through the well and I guided her up to her house.
"Good night Inuyasha." she kissed me on the cheek again.
"Hey can I spend the night?" I winked at her and held her close to me, grabbing her by the butt.
"You remember what happened last time you 'stayed the night'?" Kagome smiled at me and I released her almost immediately.
"I will be back in two short days. Try to not go wandering without me. Send Shippo my love." she began to walk in the house.
"Geez, you love Shippo more then you love me." I laughed, she knew I was kidding.
"I love you Inuyasha."
"I love you Kagome." I kissed her on the lips and tried to increase the passion but she broke away and went inside, saying 'good night' one last time.
wouldn't that have been a cute ending. The two of them realizing there love for each other *tear* how special... but alas, it is not, I am not that simple poor you ^_^.... Look for chapter 5 to be up soon!

I woke up the next morning, it seemed to be late morning already. I wondered why I had slept so long. I was still by the well, where I had fallen asleep.

Her sent was everywhere. I noticed it went in the direction where there were odd looking wheel barrels and dozens of villagers. I sniffed her out until I got to a giant building. "This must be the schooal thing she was talking about." I noticed a kid, about Kagome's age, walk by, "Hey kid. Is this the schooal?" I asked.
"Uhh, yeah this is the school." he emphasized the pronunciation of the building, realizing I had made a mistake I nodded as a thank you. I walked into the building, half expecting her to be standing at the entrance.

"Inuyasha! I know you are following me, I am not stupid. Please leave me alone!" Kagome turned around one day on her way to school, addressing me for the time.
"No Kagome. I will follow you until you listen to what I have to say." I retorted. She growled at me and sulked away. Her growl was terribly cute, not frightening at all, and so, as I vowed, I continued to follow her. I had even begun going to her classes, using the same excuse for each class, that I hadn't finished transfering yet. I could see the anger welling inside her, but I refused to give up until she spoke with me.
It was one day, at their afternoon meal that my luck seemed to be changing. I sat with Kagome and her friends, as I had done for a week, making sure Kagome had nowhere to sit, except by me. Growling slightly to herself she relcutantly sat on the edge of the long bench.
"Hello Kagome." I smiled pleasently at her. All her friends seemed to adore me and had no problem with my company.
"Can't you just go away?" Kagome muttered under her breath, but continued smiling at her friends. There conversation was boring, I payed them no attention. I instead continued to look pleadingly in Kagome's direction, if she looked at me I would smile with puppy-dog eyes and pout slightly, at which she would scoff and turn away. Their conversation had ended and I saw my chance to plead again.
"Please Kagome, just let me speak to you. I will stop following you, and leave you alone, just let me talk to you." she didn't even look at me.
"Jeez Kagome, how long can you make him beg? Look at the poor guy, he looks like he hasn't slept in a week, he is dirty. He just wants to talk to you, you can give him that can't you?" her friend spoke on my behalf and I smiled to myself. At last, she appeared defeated.
"Fine! I still have classes Inuyasha. But don't come to my afternoon classes, just wait for me outside the school." a bell rang and she walked off with her friends, and so, I waited.
"How long are these stupid classes anyway!?" I complained to myself, even though I knew because I had sat through them before. I was getting very bored sitting on the school lawn.
"Look at him," a voice said.
"He has a sword,"
"And those ears." People talked about me as they passed and I growled at all of them, I laughed as they quickened their pace out of fear. I heard a final bell ring, and I knew that school must be over. I stood up by the tree and watched person after person come out of the building. I didn't see Kagome though. Everybody was gone and there was hardly a soul still on the grounds, and Kagome wasn't there.
"Where did that girl get to?" I asked myself. She probably just lied to me because she wanted to get rid of me . I thought bleakly to myself. I sat back down on the grass and watched the ground. A small worm was crawling around looking for something unknown to me. I watched him slither and shake, I wondered if he had girl problems. My fascination with the worm continued for some time. The worm started to slowly eat a leaf, for some reason beyond my knowledge, I was transfixed by this creature.
"Sorry I'm late Inuyasha. I actually considered ditching you." I looked up, snapping out of my trance, and saw Kagome trying to smile.
"You don't have to force yourself to smile for me. I don't deserve to see your beautiful smile." I said looking away from her. She kneeled down beside me and I looked to her again.
"Kagome, I am... I am sorry. I lied to Miroku because I didn't want him taunting me, and when I smelled you out side the hut that night, I wanted you to patch things up with your family and I wanted you to be able to be in your own time. I didn't want you to have to be stuck with me, just because you had no where else to go. I made up those things so that you would be happy. I am sorry if I hurt you, but I really was trying to be a nice guy. I understand if you can never forgive me. I don't deserve your grace. Shippo misses you so much, he cries a lot when he thinks no one is looking. Sango and Miroku send their love. I am sorry Kagome. If you don't forgive me I understand. I just had to tell you what really happened, and how I truly feel." I finished my speech but then thought of something else she might like to know, "Oh, and I talked to Kouga. I was going to ask him to help me look for you. He tried to tease me into believe he had, err, claimed you. I almost killed him. But I didn't he told me the truth. I also ran into Kikyo," I couldn't hold anything back, not now that I had gotten this far, "She was being her usual bitchy self, and asked 'oh why don't you love me, come to me' and all that shit, so I told her I loved you and she got pissed off and walked away. I think one day I will kill her, so she can rest in peace." I was going to go off on a tangent some more but Kagome stopped me.
"Inuyasha. I've missed you a lot for these passed weeks. I didn't mean it when I said I hated you, or made you 'sit' so many times."
"Yeah my back hurt for days after that." I smiled jokingly.
"Sorry, I just.. What you said broke my heart Inuyasha. I thought you really loved me, and then I hear you say that and I got so confused. I know you are the type of guy who will lie as his way of saying the exact opposite. I just don't know what to believe with you sometimes. I've missed you, and I can't forget you. I don't know what to do Inuyasha." Kagome's eyes began to fill with tears.
"Kagome, please don't cry. I am not worth your tears." I wiped away a tear that had strayed down her cheek. "You are much to cute to cry, please don't. Besides, you know me. I only tell the truth to you, I usually lie to everyone else. But with you the truth comes out. So believe me when I say I love you, cause I mean it from the depths of my soul. These past weeks have been torture." I gazed into her eyes, I could see sorrow and joy in them. She held cares that a woman of her age shouldn't have to carry. "I'm so sorry Kagome."
"Inuyasha..." she leaned up to me, and put her lips on mine. Her kiss was heaven, I gently kissed her back my tongue gently roaming in her mouth but then I broke away.
"So, you forgive me?" I asked smiling. She laughed back, still crying, but her eyes seemed joyous now.
"Of course I forgive you, you baka!" she jokingly punched my ribs and I laughed holding her close in my arms. Nothing could ruin this moment.
Kagome's POV ~~~~
I was so happy, I knew Inuyasha would never say something as mean as he did that night. How could I have been so stupid. I didn't even really care if I was being naive now. I loved Inuyasha, and I just wanted to be with him. Besides he came all this way to see me, and waited for a week just to talk to me, he followed me in a creepy-stalker like way, came into my classes, talked to my friends, he even turned down his ex-love for me. He was being so nice too. I really loved him; nothing could have ruined this moment.
Then again, I was always wrong. I saw a shadow standing over us, I thought it was probably a teacher who was going to tell us to take out rendezvous somewhere else. I looked up to see something very unexpected.
"After days of searching I finally found you. I had to torture the lecher to find out where you had gone. He gave in soon enough. Probably thought I wouldn't find you. Poor monk." the evil, vicious, inhuman smile. I couldn't stand the sight of her.
"Kikyo?" I heard Inuyasha mumble. I looked to him as his grip around my waist tightened. "What are you doing here? This isn't where you belong!" he shouted angrily.
"You don't belong here either Inuyasha. And that wench doesn't belong in out time, with us. Don't you see? Its you and me, not Kagome and you. Your worlds collide, you will never be truly happy together. That wench probably has a boyfriend in this time, and she only uses you when she is in our time deprived of her boyfriend.
"That is a lie you stupid bitch! I love Inuyasha! You shut the fuck up, or I'll kick your ass!" I tried to stand up and make my anger known, but Inuyasha wouldn't let me go. "Let me go Inuyasha, I can handle it." I looked down at him and my voice turned soft as I spoke to him.
"No, I don't want you to get hurt. I'll take care of it." he whispered into my ear. I could barely hear him, so I was sure Kikyo didn't hear him.
"You are right Kikyo," he said calmly, "I will go back with you. I don't belong here and Kagome doesn't belong there. I will even block that stupid well." I felt myself start to cry, before the effect of his words came across clearly. 'I'll take care of it'. He was going to trick her into going back to their time so he could put her to rest.
"Oh Inuyasha." as Inuyasha stood up Kikyo wrapped her arms around him. She kissed him passionately, in his eyes I could see he wanted to gag. I smiled slightly but decided to play along.
"But Inuyasha, wasn't what we had special." I pretended to cry, this was kind of fun.
"No, I've always been in love with Kikyo, you were just a time filler until I realized where my true feelings lay." he stated plainly. I allowed another fake tear roll down my cheek. My acting must have been really good, as I saw him walk away he turned around and mouthed; 'not really, I love you, come to the well tonight'. Before walking arm in arm with Kikyo even if he was joking, the sight made me want to put my hand through a wall.
Later that night, I had finished all my homework, and was eating dinner with my family. I had missed family dinners in Feudal Japan, but eating with my friends was great, they were practically family. Now I missed eating with them. I couldn't win.
"So what happened at school today?" my mother asked from across the table.
"I saw Inuyasha, again. You know his stalker-like behavior was acutally quite cute. Anyway, he explained himself, and I can't help but believe every word he says. Then Kikyo, your remember his ex-girlfriend, well she came along. So Inuyasha played along with her little game about how him and her are to be together and that I am nothing to him. Blah blah blah, and so he went back through the well with her. Apparently she had to torture Miroku, I do hope the poor guy is alright." I continued to eat some oden and waited for my mothers advice.
"Maybe, Kikyo has a point." she said gingerly.
"WHAT!? I realize, we do have a bit of an, age difference, but mom, maybe I am destined to be with him, maybe that was my fate all along." I put down my oden, suddenly I wasn't hungry.
"That is true too." she said, I was surprised to see her agreeing so easily, "Do what your heart tells you." I smiled and finished dinner in silence.
"Well, I'm off." I said smiling.
"Where are you going? You have school in the morning Kagome." my mother gave me a look, she knew where I was going.
"I swear, if I don't come back by nine, then something terrible must have happened." that didn't reassure her. "Sorry, I will be back by nine, I just want to say goodnight to Inuyasha." I hugged my mom and walked out of the house. Looking down at the well, I began to wonder what would happen on the other side. What if I heard another conversation, that made me angry at him. My heart couldn't take it. Or what if Kikyo has killed him, or what if some other tragic event occurred. My thoughts were flooding my brain. "Well, might as well find out." I jumped into the blackness of the well.
"Hey it worked, I half expected it to spit me back out." I said out loud. I heard raised voices and almost started to cry; this was the part where I heard that Inuyasha was lying to me again. I climbed half way up the well, listening to what the voices had to say.
"Inuyasha, please reconsider. I am far better then that girl, I've always been your love." Kikyo's voice.
"Kikyo, I never knew what love was, until Kagome showed me what it was to love. She believes in me, and she doesn't care what I am, she isn't like you Kikyo. Even if it is true she is your reincarnation, you two are completely different. I love Kagome." my heart melted, he was in love with me. I almost jumped for joy, then remembered I was hanging onto Ivy and could fall at any moment. Should I go and stand with Inuyasha, or should I wait in the well? I thought to myself.
"Inuyasha, please. I know that you think this girl is important to you, but please try to reconsider. Are you really going to kill me?" With that comment, I decided I had to see what was going on. I quietly climbed out of the well.
"Kikyo, please understand, I care about you. I don't want to see you suffer, I think if you die, you'll not only give Kagome the rest of her soul, but you will be free too. I truly think it is for the best Kikyo."
"Inuyasha, your not serious," Kikyo showed no emotion, but I think that if she wasn't made of clay, she would have been crying. "Your wench is here." I tried to hide behind the well, I was hoping to have not been seen.
"Kagome!" he turned around and ran to me, "What are you doing here?"
"You told me to go to the well." I whispered, why was he acting so weird.
"I meant stay on your side, and I would come for you." he whispered back.
"Opps." I smiled at him and he shook his head. "Stay here." he turned his attention back to Kikyo, "I am sorry Kikyo, you have to die. You've tried to many times to ruin my relationship and you have almost killed one of my best friends. I can't allow you in my life anymore, and if this is the only way," he unsheathed his Tetseiga, "then so be it." I couldn't watch, I turned around and sat with my back against the well, humming to myself. Even if she was a psycho, I didn't want to watch someone die.
Kikyo's POV ~~~~
That lying bastard, he tricked me. I thought he really did love me. How could he choose her over me? I didn't know what to think. I watched Inuyasha as his Tetsusaiga blazed. How I loved him. Maybe if I die I will be happy again. I can rest in peace. Yes Inuyasha, kill me. I decided that I had to die, and who better to die for then the one you love?
"Come on Inuyasha. I have accepted my defeat, and I embrace it. Kill me." If I could show emotion, I would have been calm and collected.
"Kikyo." Inuyasha put his Tetsusaiga back, "I am sorry but killing you isn't like killing a demon. You are, technically a real person and I don't kill people."
"Inuyasha kill me!" I said back.
"No, I can't bring myself to watch a human die by my sword,"
"Kill me!"
"No!"
"Fine, I'll kill myself." I grabbed Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga out of its sheath, it transformed for me. "I love you Inuyasha."
Inuyasha's POV ~~~~
"No Kikyo! Stop." I looked away, I couldn't bare to see someone take there own life, even if they were already dead. The smell of clay and ash filled the air. I heard Kagome gasping. "Kagome! What's wrong?" I ran to her.
"My soul, I feel whole again. I have my soul back." she smiled at me with those gorgeous eyes, and I sighed deeply.
"Scare me half to death, I thought you were dying the way you were gasping like a fish," I made an imitation of a dying fish and she jokingly punched me in the stomach. Causing me to laugh. How could I be so happy when someone just killed herself over me?
"You did it then?" she asked.
"No, she took my Tetsusaiga and did it her self. Crap, I need to go get it, be right back." I walked over to the pile of ash and clay and picked up my Tetsusaiga and guided it back into its resting place.
"Inuyasha." Kagome was standing behind me.
"Yeah," I looked to her, she looked almost sad.
"You don't regret it do you? I know she did this herself, but you don't feel remorse, or any sadness do you?"
"Well, actually Kagome, I do. I feel sad that it had to be this way. If she wasn't a clay legion of the undead, I think you and her would have been good friends. It isn't what you are thinking though, I am not sad cause she is gone. I am sad because she is gone like that." I pointed to the pile of ash and clay, "I don't know, but I love you Kagome, don't worry. I didn't love Kikyo, I just felt sympathy for her." I put my arm around Kagome's shoulder and smiled as she placed her hand around my waist.
"Damn!" she suddenly screamed, breaking the trance that held me there.
"What?" I asked looking at her oddly.
"I have to be home in like three seconds." she said looking at a device on her arm, she had once told me it was a watch. "I am sorry Inuyasha, I have school in the morning. I will come back this weekend," she kissed me on the cheek, "two days." she added, probably realizing that I didn't know when this weekend of hers was.
"Want me to walk you home?" I asked, she smiled at me and nodded.
"I would like that." We jumped through the well and I guided her up to her house.
"Good night Inuyasha." she kissed me on the cheek again.
"Hey can I spend the night?" I winked at her and held her close to me, grabbing her by the butt.
"You remember what happened last time you 'stayed the night'?" Kagome smiled at me and I released her almost immediately.
"I will be back in two short days. Try to not go wandering without me. Send Shippo my love." she began to walk in the house.
"Geez, you love Shippo more then you love me." I laughed, she knew I was kidding.
"I love you Inuyasha."
"I love you Kagome." I kissed her on the lips and tried to increase the passion but she broke away and went inside, saying 'good night' one last time.
wouldn't that have been a cute ending. The two of them realizing there love for each other *tear* how special... but alas, it is not, I am not that simple poor you ^_^.... Look for chapter 5 to be up soon!
