InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ This is Me ❯ No More ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer: I think it's quite obvious that I don't own Inuyasha.

Well, I decided to continue to make the plot a little more interesting and get ppl to READ this story. I know it's not the best but I really want some feedback here. There is no song in this chapter but I plan to put a song in a later chapter, IF I continue that is. Anyway hopefully you'll enjoy the second installment of "This is Me".

This is Me

By Fenikkusu Ice

Chapter 2: No More

The moon was nowhere to be seen that night. It was the night of the new moon. If it weren't for the campfire the group of sleeping travelers would have been completely consumed by darkness. Well most of the travelers were sleeping anyway. A girl by the name of Kagome was sitting next to a tree on which a silver-haired hanyou slept on its branches.

Kagome was going over the previous events of the last few years in this time of five hundred years in the past. She was fifteen when she arrived in this era through the well of the Higurashi Shrine. She was now seventeen and had grown much more mature since then.

On this night one of her thoughts were focused on the hanyou on top of the tree. `Inuyasha.' She went through all the times she had been hurt when he would use any kind of excuse to leave the group when he sensed his first love. `Yes his first love; his first and only love,' Kagome thought bitterly. She remembered all the times she had cried when he compared her with Kikyou. `Kikyou this and Kikyou that. Isn't it obvious that we're different? Why can't he stop?' Kagome's eyes softened and became glassy as she thought of all those times he left her for Kikyou. `He promised to protect me.' There had also been times when she had gotten injured by some demon that wanted the jewel shards and Inuyasha had not been there to help.

Kagome thought of the friends who had stood by her. Sango, the demon eliminator, was her best friend, and whom she shared her secrets with. Miroku, the monk, though perverted, was a great friend as well and was often the voice of reason. Shippo, the little kitsune, had thought of her as his surrogate mother. These thoughts however led her thoughts back to Inuyasha.

`He always thought I was weak.' After Kagome realized that Inuyasha was not always around to protect her, she started learning self-defense techniques from Sango. She was not a master at it, but she could still defend herself.

Kagome had come to a decision. She had decided this a few weeks ago when she was plagued by the same thoughts about Inuyasha. She would prove something. She would prove that she was able to defend herself and not the useless `wench' that Inuyasha had thought of her to be. Lately she had seen from her friends' eyes that they pitied her a little bit because of her situation. She knew that they didn't mean to but it showed that felt sympathy for her. Well, she did not want pity. She would be strong. She was a miko and so her powers have been developing faster ever since she took the time to focus and concentrate using those meditations that Miroku had taught her, and practicing those self-defense techniques of Sango's. Inuyasha never noticed these events because he was too busy serving Kikyou's needs.

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha. His normally silver hair had turned black, and his dog ears and claws disappeared. She had waited for this night to come ever since she had made her decision. In order for her to leave she had to make sure that Inuyasha would not detect her with his enhanced hearing. Even if he did awake during the night after she had gone, he wouldn't be able to track her with his nose and youkai speed. Yes, this was perfect.

Kagome folded the letter she had written an hour ago, and placed a rock on it on the ground near Sango. `Surely she would find it.' Kagome then took a bag of food from her large yellow bag, and placed it near Miroku. She checked her yellow bag to make sure that she had some food herself of course.

She took out a small dim flashlight from her bag, took one look at her friends (except Inuyasha), and walked out of the campsite.

`If he thinks that I would wait for him to protect me all the time, then he should think again. No more will I cry over him. No more will I be weak in front of him. No more will I be compared with Kikyou. No more.'

What she didn't know was that a certain kitsune had awoken during her departure and was following her quietly through the thick dark forest.

`No more.'

****************************

I hope it's getting more interesting now. This WILL have couplings later on, IF I continue. Sniff, it seems like no one's reading this. Well, I want you people to VOTE for your COUPLING. By the way I will probably have Sango and Miroku together if you don't vote that he should be with Kagome that is. Should Sango end up with someone? Who should end up with Kagome? I have someone in mind but I'll let you decide.

Here are the choices:

Kagome/Sesshoumaru

Kagome/Inuyasha

Kagome/Miroku

Kagome/Kouga

Kagome/Naruku

By the way, the order that is listed here is the order of MY preference of how this story goes. This story may be similar to some other story so I'll try to make it original. Anyway REVIEW! I'm new at this! At least tell me if it's good or not.

Later,
