InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Silver Winds ❯ Empty Mistakes ( Chapter 2 )

A/n

So the story continues, and now things begin to happen. The second step in an extensive Journey…. Let's Go!

 

-------

 

Inuyasha stared into the distance, the sunset now appearing above the green, distant hills. Inuyasha was angry, but at this point, how was he supposed to vent this anger? This was yet another thing that was Kagome's fault.

 

Stupid girl, getting me worked up when she's not even here. Can't she do anything right?

 

Inuyasha scratched slowly at the bark underneath his hands. Yes, how was he supposed to rid himself of this anger building up in him? Suddenly a voice came up from below the tree. The voice of the person he was not expecting to see…the person he was still angry at….

 

-------

“Inuyasha!!”

 

Kagome yelled and waved from her spot on the ground. This area of the village was pretty quiet. The streets were empty, and night was now beginning to fall. Kagome quickly flipped her hair and brushed off her clothes. Why am I sprucing?

 

The question came to mind, until she felt something. A malicious intent, a hostile presence, purely focused on her. She couldn't help but falter, and nearly fall backwards at the sudden feeling of vulnerability. It felt like Inuyasha, but it was covered up with something unfamiliar, like regularly unharbored anger.

 

Suddenly, said hanyou dropped straight in front of her. For some reason, he didn't look particularly happy…

 

“Inuyasha I-“

 

“Shut up!”

 

Kagome quietly shut her mouth. Inuyasha seemed to be seething at this point, his hands balled into fists, and his face full of distain. What's he all worked up about?

 

“Inuyasha I wanted to tell you I-“

 

“I said `Shut Up!' Why are you here Kagome?”

 

Kagome shrunk back in surprise; Inuyasha crept forward, claws extended. Suddenly, Kagome was becoming scared….of Inuyasha.

 

“You said you'd be back tomorrow. WHY ARE YOU HERE?!”

 

“Well I'm TRYING to tell you!”

 

“Well you're doing a hell of a job, aren't you?”

 

Kagome was beginning to lose her will to fight. Just what was Inuyasha so pissed off at? This was supposed to be a happy occasion! Inuyasha was supposed to be overjoyed to see her! So, why did he look at her as if she'd just ruined everything? All she had done was come home a day early!

 

She sighed in protest, trying to fit in a word, but was cut off.

 

“What? Why did you come back to annoy us Kagome? Did you miss us too much?” Inuyasha jeered, shoving Kagome in the process.

 

Kagome tried to fight back.

 

“Well what if I did?!?”

 

“Then you're wasting you're time, because we don't want you here!”

 

Kagome gasped at his words, but she choked down her tears, and continued to speak.

 

“Well I'm the only one who can sense the Jewel shards! And I thought we were in this together!”

 

“Well we're not ok? Kikyo could do a hell of a better job then you!”

 

Kagome stopped, as Inuyasha words continued to sink in.

 

“We don't even need you Kagome! All you do is get in the way, slow everybody down. You're a weak girl who can't do anything right. We'd probably find the Jewel Shards a lot faster if you weren't here!”

 

“So what? All that matters now is the Jewel Shards?”

 

“Yah, cause you sure as hell don't matter!”

 

Inuyasha suddenly realized the words that had come out of his mouth, and the effect they had on the human girl in front of him. The girl looked doom-stricken; her grey-blue eyes glinting with unshed tears; although he was oblivious she was trying to hide them.

 

Inuyasha suddenly softened, having let out all of his anger and bottled feelings. Now there was silence, but Kagome could not even find the words to tell him the news. Even the subjugation word eluded her mind.

 

I ought to say it so many times he wakes up in hell, she thought, unable to hide her tears anymore.

 

But she knew she could never do that. She knew she could never bring herself to harm her precious Inuyasha. Apparently, he had not trouble hurting her though…

 

The way he had shouted told her that, `he meant what he said.' Sudden doubt filled up in Kagome as she brought a hand up to her face to rub the small tears away.

 

“You're right….Inuyasha…”

The unexpected words startled Inuyasha. She had just….agreed with him? Why had he not been sat? More importantly, why hadn't he apologized yet? He didn't mean what he said…

 

“Kagome…”

 

“I…I never realized how you felt up until now. You're…so right, Inuyasha.”

 

Kagome brushed a few strands of hair back, her body unwilling to run away. Her spirit had been crushed and shattered; her day of joy had now twisted into a nightmare.

 

Kagome looked down at her hands, now held together over her chest. “I must have gotten in the way so many times now. And sadly yes…human life is so….fragile.” she said, sorrow etched inside her words.

 

“Kagome…”

 

She couldn't look him in the eye, and she let out a whimper. Inuyasha wanted nothing more then to stop this sadness and apologize. Something had just gone so terribly wrong.

 

She let out a single cry, and shook herself tight. She couldn't let him see her like this, no matter what the reason.

 

“I am so…so sorry. I never meant for this to happen. I never meant for you to feel this way. I figured since you insisted it was my fault, the jewel breaking, that you didn't mind me tagging along. But all along you were making me take the responsibility I should have accepted willingly. I never…I'm so…”

 

Inuyasha couldn't find words in time, and she turned away.

 

“I'm so sorry…Please, forgive me someday-“

 

Suddenly, turning around, she ran away; unbidden tears falling from her eyes as she fled from everything.

 

I can never come back again…he wouldn't want me to come back.

 

With a silent sob, she ran in the direction of Kaede's village. It was clear what she had to do, to secure her friends happiness; Leave.

 

So that was it. One more day in the Feudal era; one more day to grant her good byes to all the people she had sought to help, yet ultimately failed. They deserved a proper goodbye, and an apology…except to Inuyasha. No, she could never face him; not the one who so wanted her to leave.

 

-------

 

Inuyasha looked down at his own hands. Small smears of blood wove around his fingers. He must have scratched Kagome. He must have hurt her.

 

Had he really done that? Had he made a mistake? What was he supposed to think, now that it was already done? He couldn't take back his words, and now she was long gone. He couldn't track her, not in the extensive aroma of cherry blossoms.

 

He shuddered at the thought of her crying, especially with him as the cause. He didn't mean what he had said, he didn't mean it….

 

So now what? What choice was he to make?

 

What was he supposed to do……?
