Ch.1 The Love from Within
"Sit boy!" Kagome yelled sending Inuyasha crashing into the dirt as she started running to the well
"ame" Inuyasha said muffled trying to get out of the dirt, the moment he got the chance he jumped up and ran after her and grabbed her wrist.
"No, Inuyasha I need to study for a big math test on Monday!" 'why does he do this EVERYTIME' Kagome thought to herself
"Ya right, we need to be looking for jewel shards but you choose to go and flirt with that guy again" Inuyasha yelled
"I need to go Inuyasha, I need to study for that test, I totally forgot about it!" Kagome whined
"Why? Are they that important?" Inuyasha asked loosening his grip on her
"Yes, if I don't pass them I will need to repeat the grade and then I will have to be taking tests alot longer then i'm supposed to" Kagome said
"But is it really more important then the jewel shards?" Inuyasha asked letting go completely and crossed his arms
"Ya, it is I need to pass school or i'll be there forever. My brother even says if I keep making grades like I have been then pretty soon he'll be in my grade and he'll be helping me with my homework" Kagome quoted her brother and looked down expecting him to say no, he looked at her and she looked frustrated and a little depressed and it hurt him to think he caused her to feel that way. He looked away and sighed
"Fine, if it really means that much to you then go" Inuyasha said. Kagome looked up at him surprised
"Really?" she asked
"Ya, go before I change my mind" Inuyasha said she stepped up to him and gave him a quick hug and picked up her bag
"Thanks Inuyasha, i'll be back in a day" Kagome said and ran to the well. Inuyasha was surprised and his cheeks were glowing a light red from the hug as he watched her dissapear into the well
"Wow what influenced you to let her go? You never give up that easy" Miroku said walking up behind Inuyasha
"Nothing it's just she...it's none of your business monk!" Inuyasha yelled catching himself before he actually told him what was going on and walked off toward the hut
"I sure hope you figure out Inuyasha really does need you and care for you Kagome" Miroku said looking toward the well then started walking toward the hut also
.Modern Era.
"I'm home!" Kagome yelled as she entered the front door
"Oh, Kagome welcome back dear" her mom poped her head out the kitchen door
"Thanks mom...where's gramps and Souta?" she asked her mother as she entered the kitchen
"Oh your grandfather went with your brother to soccer practice" Ms. Higurashi said as she continued cooking "Are you hungry dear?" she asked
"A little but..." she stopped as she was getting her books out of her bag and noticed she was missing the most important
"Kagome?" her mom looked at her when she stopped talking
"Oh no, I left my book in the warring states era!" Kagome said as she ran out the door toward the well and throwing the door open and jumped in
.Feudal Era.
Kagome jumped out of the well and started running for the hut.
"That's Kagome's scent" Inuyasha said to no one as he smelled her scent coming closer. He started running toward her scent
Kagome was running toward Kaede's hut when she saw Inuyasha coming toward her. She was to busy trying to hurry and didn't notice a rock that she tripped over, luckily Inuyasha caught up to her in time to catch her before she fell to the ground. He was holding her up by her arms as she bent over trying to catch her breath.
"What's your hurry?...What are you doing back?" Inuyasha asked
"I forgot...my book" she said between breaths, she stood on her own.
"So you rushed over?...what's your hurry?" Inuyasha asked and she thought a moment
"Ugh, your right, I was so worried about not having my book I didn't realize it was no big rush" Kagome said frustrated.
"Baka, you ran all that way for nothing" Inuyasha said more calm then the usual snapping way
"It wasn't my fault you jerk! I didn't think I was just woried since I didn't have it" Kagome snapped as she walked toward the hut
"Keh" he didn't have a response
"Why did you run over here anyway?" she asked as she walked
'Why did I run over here?' he thought "I guess i'm used to it" he lied
Kagome ran in the hut to get her book "Ok i'll be back in about a day...want to walk me to the well?" she asked sweetly
"Whatever" he said as he walked with her back to the well "This is stupid" he said
"What's stupid?" Kagome asked looking at him while she walked
"This whole thing, you having to go back and forth" he told her and looked toward her "Why don't you just stay here?" Inuyasha asked
"Why? I'll miss school and plus what is the reason you want me here? To find your precious jewel shards?" she asked
"N...of course, why else would you stay here?" he caught himself 'what the hell was i planning on saying?' he asked himself
"See there's no real reason you need me here...if it's that important then you can find someone else, I need a break from this once in a while" she said "Chasing demons isn't my favorite pastime!" she yelled
"We can't find no one else, Wench!" he snapped
"Well i'm sorry, then I guess you'll have to wait. And i'm not a wench you jerk!" she yelled as she jumped in the well
She traveled through the well and got to the Modern era.
"What is his problem?" she asked herself out loud as she walked to her house "Why does he have to even ask? Of course I can't stay in the feudal era all the time. I have school! It's not like he wants me there...he just needs me for the jewel" she told herself 'he dosn't want me there, why does he always want me around? Why dosn't he get Kikyo to help him? I'm sure she can see the jewels, I should tell him! If he wants to keep pestering me about school then i'll give him a piece of my mind!' she walked in her house with a frustrated face and stomped up the stairs to her room slamming the door
"Kagome is that you?" her mom asked
"Ya, i'll be down in a bit!" she yelled, she flopped on her bed and sat there 'I should it would be better if I told him then I wouldn't have any more interuptions for school!' she coninced herself 'But...do I really...'
"Kagome, dinner is ready...would you like to come down to eat?" her mom asked from the other side of the door
"Ya, i'm coming!" she said as she got up from her bed and went downstairs to eat
.Feudal Era.
'Why does she say I can replace her? Dosn't she like being here with me at all?' Inuyasha asked himself as he was walking into the forest.
'How can she say I can replace her? I couldn't do that, besides who am I supposed to replace her with?...oh ya, she was probably thinking of Kikyo when she said that' he thought
"Kami, no wonder she said that...she still thinks i'm going to just forget about her and go with her, how can she think of that?" he asked himself he jumped into his favorite tree 'so...'
Inuyasha made himself comfortable sitting in Goshinboku. '...only a little bit of the jewel left to find and we'll have the whole thing, so what happens when it's all over?' he thought to himself. 'Do I still really want to become a full-fledged demon?...where did that come from? Why wouldn't I want to, that's the whole reason I search for the shards' he argued with himself in his head
"Hey Inuyasha chow-time, want some? Kaede made some food for us" Shippo asked from the bottom of the tree
"Ya, i'll be there in a few minutes" he called out
"Ok" he turned and walked back to the hut
'What about Kagome? What will happen to her when we get the whole jewel?' he thought when he thought of what she said to him again, he couldn't get over the fact that she would actually say something like that. It kept replaying in his head.
'Will she have to leave? I guess I never thought of her actually leaving me...I always thought she would be by my side forever, she always has been and I guess I got used to it. How will it be when she's gone?' he questioned himself
'I guess over time she has grown on me...so much that I...I...i've grown to actually love her...I love her...since when though? I love her, that explains everything! I love her, I guess i've never admitted it to myself. All these feelings I get when i'm around her, always wanting her near. I love her laugh, I love how she is always cheerful, I love her smile, I love how she is helpful and can cheer anyone up by just being herself. I really do love her. Why didn't I see it before? Is love that blind to me? I guess I wanted love to be blind to me I was afraid history would repeat itself. I was to stubborn to realize, I guess I couldn't get over Kikyo...but I don't love Kikyo, I don't think i've ever loved Kikyo...I was just looking for love and she was the first one to accept me, but she didn't really except me. I was blind to not see that she didn't except me for me. She wanted me to become human. That's not me, i'm Inuyasha...hate to admit it but i'm a half-demon...and always will be. I can't become a full-fledged demon, because that's not me. Kagome excepts me as a half-demon, she said so herself...it was the day she kissed me to get me out of the spell when Kaguya turned me into a demon...but I kissed her back, and i'm just realizing the love that has been hidden within my heart...the cheerful girl who turned my life around and showed me true love, how could I be so stupid to be blind to it...I guess love is blind to the wounded heart who can't dare to be hurt again' he figured
'What should I do? Nothing, she dosn't love me, i'm always a jerk to her!' he touched his lips as he remembered the kiss 'Her lips were so soft and she was crying...for me, she cried because of that spell that turned me demon...I would have lost the battle to myself if she hadn't have helped me break free from the spell. I never thought once about the kiss, it didn't seem important...or I didn't want to open emotions...the emotions I didn't know were there' he thought
'The point is she cried...for my well-being...but why? No one has ever cared if I were to die or not, except my mother...everyone criticized me for being a hanyou...then Kagome came along and thought differently, and then the others did too...they never cared I was a hanyou' he thought
"Wow, they've been there for me this whole time...and I never thought once about it, they are truly my friends" Inuyasha said as he jumped out of the tree and walked to Kaede's hut
.Modern Era.
Kagome had just finished eating dinner with her mom. She walked upstairs to take a nice long bath before she had to start studying.
"Ugh...I can't tell Inuyasha about Kikyo, I don't have the heart to remind him of his past with Kikyo...that's just wrong...i'm not that heartless" she said to herself while laying in the tub
'I can't do that to him' she thought 'Would I really be able to choose school over him? I can't believe I thought I could even do that'
"Why is he making my life so complicated?" she asked herself 'He isn't making it complicated, I am' she thought to herself
'I can't leave him...I...I still love him...I do, I thought if I just stayed near him I would get over him. I thought being near him was good enough...but I still love him' she admitted
"Ughh...what am I going to do?" she asked herself frustrated 'How can I love him so much? It's not fair...it's just a one-sided love isnt it? It sure is, i'm kidding myself if I think Inuyasha loves me...he would never choose me over Kikyo. Kikyo was his first love, probably his only love since he is still trying to be with her' she couldn't get it out of her mind
'He is such a jerk most of the time...why do I love him so much?....that's easy, I love him for him, he can be real sweet and nice at times...I wish he would let his emotions let loose once and a while' she thought "But what should I do?...I can't tell him...he dosn't love me the same way I love him..." she sighed 'It's kind of sad that I have feeling for someone who barely notices me for me...but I can't help it' she sighed again sinking under the water in frustration and coming back up, she was frustrated with all these feeling she had that she couldn't act on.
"I need to push my problems to the side for now...I have to get studying" she said as she finished washing up.
She got out and wrapped her towel around her and walked to her room she stopped in front of her mirror and started blow drying her hair and put clothes on. She picked her book up from the bed where she dropped it off and sat at her desk opening it so she could start studying
"I can't get my mind off the feudal era" she said as she looked out the window "Inuyasha...what can you be thinking right this moment?" she asked no one as she looked toward the well
.Feudal Era.
"So Inuyasha, What do you plan we do until Kagome returns?" Miroku asked as they sat in a field near a tree which Inuyasha was in
"I don't know...why are you asking me?" he asked lazily
"Well...you usually have us go look for jewel shards even without Kagome" Miroku said confused by Inuyasha's change
"Keh, not in the mood right now" he said
"Why the sudden change? Getting tired in your old age?" Shippo asked jumping on Inuyasha's stomach
"Shut up and get off me!" Inuyasha snapped pushing Shippo off him
"Oww...I didn't do anything" Shippo whined as he fell to the ground landing on Kilala
"Mew" Kilala complained as she was landed on and got up and Shippo fell off and walked off to the hut
"Fine, i'm leaving...and when your all alone don't start wanting company" Shippo said walking away toward the hut
'Should I tell her?' he asked himself as he relaxed in the tree 'Well, she probably has to leave when the jewel is complete...so I could take my chance when we find the whole thing...and if she agrees she'll stay, that's if she agrees. Ok when we find the whole jewel i'll tell her.' he thought and decided to take a nap
"What's with Inuyasha? He sure is acting different" Shippo said
"I'm guessing he has alot on his mind" Miroku said
.Modern Era.
::sigh:: "There is no way i'll be able to remember all this by tomorrow...I can't believe I forgot about this test" she pulled out her assignment book "OH NO! I HAVE MID-TERMS THIS WEEK!" she screamed when she saw it, she pounded her head into the desk and stayed there "Ouch, that was pointless" she picked her head up and rubbed it "Inuyasha is being a jerk so i'll just stay and when he notices i'm not coming back in a day then he'll come get me and if he dosn't then...oh well...I guess, i'll just have to tell him I have another test" she said to herself "Ya that's what i'll do" she assured herself
She started studying again and looked at her book "Ok, so...fifteen squared is two hundred twenty-five...and nineteen squared is three hundred sixty-one...I need to remember all of that?!" she said when she turned the page "Oh my gosh...i'll be here forever" she slumped in her chair
"Guess I better get studying" she started reading the book again
one hour later
"Kagome, i'm going to the grocery store do you need anything?" her mom asked from the other side of the door "Kagome?" she asked again when she didn't get a response, she slowly opened the door and peeked inside and saw her daughter asleep on her mathbook "Sweetheart...Kagome, wake up" her mom said as she walked over and gave her a little shake
"huh?...i'm up...WAIT...NO, I fell asleep! I'm supposed to be studying!" she yelled and turned the page on her book
"Er-...ok...well i'm going to the store...do you need anything?" she asked her
"Nah, i'm good...got to keep studying, thanks though" she said and her mom started walking out of the room "OH MOM! Can you get me some hot chocolate?" she jumped up from her seat ready to catch her mom if she hadn't have heard her
"Sure...ok i'll be back soon, bye" she said and closed the door to her room
"I can't believe I fell asleep...i'm going to bomb this test badly" she slamed her hand to her head looking at her book again and sighed. She was still studying when her mom got back from the store and made some hot chocolate for herself to keep her awake. She had a large coffee cup of hot chocolate by her on the desk with a pot of it on the corner of the desk. She ended up studying late at night and fell asleep once again over her books
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
"uhh..." she reached to her side to turn off the alarm clock but couldn't find it with her hand. She picked her head up and saw she was at her desk
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
"not again...ugh" she got up and went to the nightstand by her bed to shut off the alarm clock. It read 6:45 a.m. "Nooo I got to go to school, I didn't finish studying...I still have five pages left" she said and got dressed and got her backpack ready for school she carried her book in her hands and was reading it on her way to school. She walked downstairs reading the textbook.
"Kagome would you like some breakfast?" Ms. Higurashi asked with Souta at the table eating
"No thanks, i'm going to go ahead and go to school and get extra studying done" Kagome said as she started for the door
"Wait...I'm going with you today" Souta said as he pulled his chair out and caught up with Kagome
"Ugh...fine" she said and opened the door for him and shut it behind her.
"So Kagome, it's been a while since we've walked to school together...i've missed it" Souta said looking at the street, Kagome couldn't help but close the book and hold it at her side. That was the sweetest thing she's heard her brother say
"Aww...i've missed you too Souta" she said putting her arm around him on his shoulders "So what's new with you in school?" She asked giving him a quick squeeze
"Nothing really...oh we get to dress up for halloween at school, I still have to ask mom if she'll take me to buy a costume" he said
"I'll go with you" she offered
"Great...but don't you have to go with Inuyasha and fight demons and collect shards?" he asked making sword movements and Kagome laughed at his antics
"Well, I have mid-terms tomorrow and it won't kill him to wait a little while longer...how about one to two hours?" she asked
"Wow that long? OK!" he said excitedly and Kagome laughed at how happy he was
"So, anything else new?" she asked as they walked down the street toward the school
"Not really...same as always" he said
"Well that's good" Kagome said as they walked up to Souta's school "Ok i'll see you later" she told him
"Bye" he yelled back as he walked into the school building and waved to his sister before he was out of sight. Kagome just giggled to herself remembering what he said then realized she needed to get to school herself.
"Oh no...I'm going to be late!" she yelled and started running to her school studying at the same time. She ran inside the school and into her class and sat in her seat taking a deep breathe to catch her breath.
After School
She walked out of the school heading for home "Wow I actually knew some of those, maybe I wont do to bad tomorrow...I guess I better go tell Inuyasha I need another day, I should just let him come get me but with me going with Souta tomorrow he's going to try to bring me back while i'm with him...so I guess I better go" she sighed. She got to her house and entered the house "I'm home!" she yelled
"Hi honey, how was your day?" Ms. Higurashi asked
"Ugh...had a test and tomorrow I have mid-terms, but I didn't do as bad as I thought I was going to...I'm going to go to the Feudal Era and tell Inuyasha i'm staying tomorrow, ok?" she said
"Ok, be careful" her mom said and she walked upstairs and grabbed her yellow bag filled with stuff she had packed for them, she walked back downstairs and opened the back door "Be back soon!" she told her mom
"Ok" she said back as the door closed
Kagome walked toward the well "I sure hope he takes this well like yesterday...maybe he'll actually let me stay, why was he so willing...well I wouldn't say willing since I had to convince him to let me go...maybe I can convince him again, this IS an important test..." she said to no one "Ya, i'll have to talk him into it, hopefully he'll actually hear me out...since he only think of me as a 'jewel detector' and that's all" she said sadly, she opened the door to the well-house and got on the lip of the well and put on a happy face and jumped in
