InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Run To You ❯ Kagomes Day and InuYashas Flight at Night ( Chapter 4 )

Kagomes Day, InuYashas Flight at Night

 

 

She's got a heart of gold she'd never let me down

But you're the one that always turns me on

You keep me comin' round

 

I know her love is true

But it's so damn easy makin' love to you

 

I got my mind made up

I need to feel your touch

 

I'm gonna run to you

Ya - I'm gonna run to you

Cause when the feelings right I'm gonna stay all night

 

I'm gonna run to you

Ya - I'm gonna run to you

Oh when the feelings right I'm gonna run all night

I'm gonna run to you

 

 

The alarm went off next to Kagomes bed. It sounded like it was ringing in another dimension because she was so leaden with exhaustion. With a lot of effort she turned off the alarm, then her arm dropped with a thump and she lay there, on her stomach. Oh, I don't want to wake up, I don't want to get up, she thought, as the pain in her heart returned as she rose to full consciousness. I have to go to school today and I'm so behind, and InuYashas gone, whats the use, she thought.

 

“Kagome dear, breakfast will be ready in five minutes!” came the singsong voice of her mother.

 

She's truly amazing, thought Kagome, Dad has been dead all these years and I yet I can't remember her being any other way than she is now; eternally chipper. I guess I should try and follow her example. I may feel like I want to die now, but I must hold on to the promise of the future. I just have to persevere. I owe it to myself and I must remember; I helped defeat Naraku. This is no way to behave when I have such a victory under my belt. So having thus consoled herself, she got out of bed and got ready for school.

 

It was hard for Kagome to concentrate that day. She felt utterly lost in her classes and her friends treated her like she was some fragile, exotic creature thanks to nearly three years of her grandfather's crazy stories.

 

“Are you coming to get something to eat with us?” Eri asked at the end of the day.

 

“No, sorry, I'm feeling kinda tired and I have so much homework to make up,” replied Kagome.

 

“Are you having another flare up of your MS?” said Yuka sympathetically.

 

“Heh, heh, no, thanks for asking.” Said Kagome, thinking, Grandpa your so going to get it from me this time.

 

Kagome walked home alone, and wondered what her friends in the feudal era were doing. Did Sango find Kohaku? Who was taking care of Shippo? Miroku should be finally free of the accursed wind tunnel, what was his next move? And InuYasha…the pain hit her like a knife in the heart and tears came unbidden to her eyes. I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry, she thought as she approached the shrine. And she didn't cry until her bath again that night. No amount of crying can seem to empty my heart of the pain, she thought as she sat there, tears blurring her eyes.

 

After trying to study for another hour or two, Kagome gave in to her lingering exhaustion and collapsed into bed.

By the second night InuYasha was with Kikyo he had made up his mind. When Kikyo was asleep, he would leave. He would run all night, if that's what it took to get to the well, to try and see if Kagome would take him back. He did not want to die, and Kikyos cold love was not the love he had expected to find. He needed to feel Kagomes warm touch, and he needed it now, to replace the chill in his heart that came from Kikyo.

 

Beneath him, Kikyo lay sleeping. He watched her for a while to be sure she was not the slightest bit awake. Then he leapt as silently as possible off the tree branch and into another tree, the cool night air ruffling his clothes and his long hair.

 

Leap.

 

Leap. Two red eyes and a hiss rose up before him.

 

“Out of my way, demon snake!” he said, “Iron reverse soul stealer!”

 

A glow of yellow claw strikes and the demon was gone.

 

Leap.

 

Faster

 

Leap.

 

Faster.

 

InuYasha was a blur to the denizens of the night.

 

A raptor demon raised its wings and turned its bloody eyes on him as he landed nearby.

 

“You're in my way!” InuYasha growled, and another claw strike later the raptor fell to the ground dead and he leapt on.

 

Clearing treetops with his tremendous bounds, the stars and moon shone above him as they made their nightly progression towards dawn.

 

Suddenly there it was before him. The forest that bore his name because of the fifty years he had spent pinned under a death like spell to a tree in it's midst. And in that forest was a clearing and the well.

 

Leap.

 

Leap.

 

And InuYasha landed on the ground. He ran, bounding up in the air with his tremendous strides, and over the lip of the well, welcoming the flash of blue that signaled his crossing to the other side.

 

A/N: You'll have to wait for the next and final chapter to see if Kagome takes him back. I'm just too tired to finish this story tonight, and I want the last chapter to be really good, and maybe really lemony if my muse says Kagome takes him back.
