*Moving On*

 

 

Chapter Five

 

 

 

~Kagome's POV~

 

I hurt his feelings…The thought kept running through my head like a bad song. How could I have hurt his feelings by not wanting to talk? Inuyasha doesn't care about me. I bet any female body would do. But…I hurt his feelings…There it was again. Maybe I should apologize or something. I don't know. Well the least I could do was get fix him a good dinner. So after I had one more good cry I got dressed and went to see what was in the fridge. There was some defrosted meat so I decided to make one of my favorite dishes. Fried chicken. I'd never made it before myself, but I'd see my mom do it plenty of times. It's easy; you put some cooking oil in a pan and set on the stove to heat. Then you season your chicken cover it in flour and put in the pan. It's that easy. At least I thought it was.

The chicken was in the pan seemingly cooking nicely so I left the kitchen for just a second to run to the bathroom. When I got back the kitchen was full of smoke and the chicken was burning. I didn't realize it cooked so fast. I tried to go into the kitchen so I could turn off the stove, but the fumes were just too much. I went around the house and opened all the windows hoping it would keep the house from getting to smoky. Then I went back to the kitchen. If I didn't turn off the stove the kitchen would catch on fire and then the house. I remembered hearing somewhere that air is always clearer closer to the floor. So I lay down and inched caterpillar style over the floor.

The air wasn't that good even on the floor so I held my breath the best I could as I made my way to the stove. By the time I reached it my eyes were watering, the edges of my vision was dark and the rest of my vision was somewhat distorted. I made it to the stove and just managed to turn it off before the darkness overcame me. I guess I'll be joining Kouga in death after all.

 

~Inuyasha's POV~

 

What's the matter with me? Why did I even bother to try and comfort the silly wench? I should have just let her cry. Kouga, Kouga, Kouga. Who the hell is he anyway? And just what is so great about him anyway? I'd made my way to Miroku's house feeling, for some inexplicable reason, hurt. Why should I care if Kagome doesn't want to confide in me, to trust me? Miroku knew I was in a, as Sango called it, a snit. But I wouldn't tell why and after I threatened to throw him out one of the second floor windows he dropped it and brought me the baby to see. It was cuter than I thought it'd be. Wasn't too fat and it didn't squall much either. Shippou wisely kept out of my way and sat staring out one of the windows

“What's that smell?” He said suddenly peering out the window toward my side of the island. “Is that smoke?” he asked his nose twitching. “It is smoke I can see it from here. Hey Inuyasha your house is on fire.”

“WHAT!” I jumped out of my seat and raced to the open window sure enough you could see smoke rising from my side of the island.

“Kagome,” I growled. Then without another word I jumped out the window and took off running to the house with Sango, Miroku, and Shippou calling after me. When I arrived at the house I was happy to see it wasn't actually on fire though smoke streamed from all the windows except the two kitchen windows, which were closed and too blackened with smoke for me to see in them. I didn't see Kagome anywhere outside and knowing she must still be in there I ran in. The smoke was strong and as soon as I entered I was coughing and gagging, and I knew there was no way I'd be able to find Kagome by her scent. I had to wait precious moments searching for her.

In the back of my head was the knowledge that Kagome was only a weak human female, by the time I found her she could very well be dead. Finally the only room I hadn't checked was the kitchen I rushed in. There she was a dim figure of a person lying on the floor, I could just barely see here through the hazy black smoke. I picked her up and made my way out of the house. When I burst out of the house Sango, Shippou, and Miroku were waiting for me. Here in the dying sunlight I could see her better, her face and clothes were blackened from the smoke and she was barely breathing. Miroku tried to take her from me but I growled and he backed off.

“You can put her down Inuyasha,” Sango said softly. “She should be fine now that she's out in the fresh air. Reluctantly I lay her down then sat down beside her.

“Are you sure she's okay? She doesn't look like she's breathing.” I asked.

“She's fine. Though maybe we should move her to our house. Your house won't be fit to live in until it clears out. Miroku went inside to open the kitchen window's so it would air better.”

I picked Kagome back up and stood. “Lets go.”
