InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Winter's Scent �~�̂ɂ��� ❯ Scars of the past �ߋ��̏� ( Chapter 2 )

Kagome rested her head against one of the boulders that surrounded the hot spring…

She closed her eyes and relaxed for a while before she opened them again…

 

“Keito-Chan should we go and have dinner now? We've been in the water for about an hour!”

 

“Ha-ha! This place is so comfortable that I can't bear to even stand up… You get dressed first. I'll follow behind you…”

 

Kagome got up and turned to leave…Flashing her back…

 

“Kagome-Chan! You-..”

 

“Huh?”

 

“You've got quite a lot of scars!! Look! On your back and the side of your arms! Here too! Your right arm there's a slash mark!!”

 

Kagome looked at her right arm…This scar…

 

“It's…Nothing really…”

 

“How could it be nothing? The one on your back looks like you've been shot by an arrow! And these… Like some tiger poked you!! Not to mention the one on your right arm!!”

 

“These scars…”

 

Images of how she got these scars flashed back…

 

The one on her back…

 

The arrow…she shot towards Kaguya to save Inuyasha… It got reflected and she took the hit to save Inuyasha…

Although the wound was gone due to the feathered robe, she never told anyone that it left a scar…

 

“I'm glad…Inuyasha… You're fine…”

 

“You idiot! Why did you something so reckless!?”

 

“Don't you always so reckless things for me?”

 

“Kagome? Are you ok?”

 

Keito-Chan's words brought her back from the past…

The marks on her arms… Were when Inuyasha almost turned into a full-Youkai he pierced her arm with his grown claws… And the slash… Kohaku… when he was controlled by Naraku…

 

She remembered the time when she sat on a boulder next to a river beside Inuyasha…

 

“Keh! I just wanted to do something to piss Naraku off! If we send Kohaku back alive, he'll be as angry as hell! ”

 

“You're always saying things like that…”

 

“And also…Kagome…You survived…”

 

“Eh?”

 

“You were worried?”

 

“Of course!”

 

“I was a little worried too…Because Inuyasha you… didn't come soon enough”

 

“That wound must really hurt… Let me see…”

 

“It's Ok!! I'll take care of it!”

 

“What if it get worse from your clumsy treatment!?”

 

“I said its fine!”

 

“It's not good for you!”

 

“I'm really ok!”

 

“You know your not!”

 

“It's Ok!”

 

I didn't want to show you that scar because I knew you would get paranoid and all… It was lucky that I wore my long sleeve school uniform all the time…so you wouldn't see…

 

“Kagome-Chan?! Are you really ok?”

 

“Ah-ah! Must be all the heat getting into me! Let's go!”

 

“Haha! I'm getting hungry too!”

Somehow… This topic… I've been avoiding for a year…

 

“Kagome-Chan! Look what a nice necklace you have! The jewel looks really nice!”

 

“Ah-ah… It's called Shikon no tama… My…My grandfather gave it to me…”

 

“One of those protective jewels eh? My grandmother used to give me tons of those! I hang them on my bag as key chains! You must treasure this one very much!”

 

Treasure it very much…It's my life…My only reason to return to the Sengoku Jidai…

What?! What am I thinking?? I'm not going back there ever! No… Not unless…Inuyasha…Wh- What am I thinking again! No… He must be fuming now… Me running away with the jewel…

 

“Yeah… It much of a treasure to me…”
