The Waiting

As always Inuyasha was waiting by the well for Kagome to arrive. She had been gone on one of her three day trips back home. Inuyasha started becoming very impatient.

What the hell is tacking her so long she should have been back by now? Inuyasha thought to his self. Another hour had passed and she still had not arrived. This made him very upset. Why would she tell him that she would be back at this time if she wasn't going to come? He felt like he had waited long enough so he jumped sown the well to go fetch her. There were shards that needed to be found and she was wasting time going home.

On the other side Kagome was sitting there just thinking not realizing that the time had just flown by. Then all of a sudden Kagome was startled out of her daze.

I was waiting for you. What's taking you so long? Why are you just sitting there you should have been back by now? Come on lets go. Inuyasha barked at her. Kagome was shocked to her the tone in his voice.

I was just thinking. You ask too many questions. And ill come back when I feel like it. Kagome was upset she didn't think that Inuyasha should have been like that. Sure he was selfish and self centered. But the world didn't revolve around him.

Inuyasha looked at her confused. He didn't understand why was she getting upset he's the one that should be mad he was waiting for her when she said that she was going to be there. Come on we need to finish collecting the shards. He said without looking at her.

What is that all I am to you is a damn jewel dector? Kagome screamed at him.

No that's not true. He whispered to himself. You're much more. He wasn't meaning for anyone else to hear him.

w...what did you just say? Kagome questioned him with hidden tears.

Damn wench I said lets go. Why do you always have to question me? Inuyasha said as he lifted Kagome onto his back and jumped down the well.

Why doesn't she understand that I love her? I mean all I do is protect her. She doesn't believe me she thinks that I'm in love with Kikyo and she doesn't even know the truth. Inuyasha thought to his self.

The got to the other side quickly, jumping out of the well and heading straight to the village. Kagome knew that the rest of the gang was waiting but she still wanted to take her time getting there. She walked instead of having Inuyasha carry her. It was still barley light out but they had enough time to make it before the sun completely faded.

Inuyasha what's wrong? You don't seem you're self tonight. Kagome gave him a questioning look. She loves the half demon but she knew he would never want to be with her. He had kikyo he didn't need her.

Nothing why?

Oh nothing never mind I was just daydreaming.

He ignored it and they just keep walking. They were in the village before they new it.

Kagome you're back. I missed you. Shippo yelled as he jumped in her arms.

How was your trip? Asked Miroku

Finally someone worth talking to. Sango smiled as she hugged Kagome.

Why don't we all catch some rest before we leave? Were leaving at sunrise.

Inuyasha announced as he walked out of the hut.

Morning came which felt like in minutes and the gang was up getting ready for the journey that lay ahead. Breakfast was done and off they were. Bellies full and ready to go that was the way to start the day off. Ship even had his lollypops to keep him active.

Kagome walked in front of everyone but behind Inuyasha. She wasn't right behind him but half way in between him and the rest of the gang. She wanted some time alone so that she could think and think is what she did. What happened last night did I hear Inuyasha right. Am I just imagining things? I could have sworn that he said I was more to him. More then just a jewel dector. But why won't he tell me how he really feels. Kagome thought this over and over through out most of their journey that day. At this point she had caught up too Inuyasha unknowing to her. She looked over at him and watched him for at least 5 minutes.

What do you want? Why do you keep staring at me? He asked her looking as puzzled as ever.

Oh I'm sorry I was daydreaming I didn't realize sorry.

Ok if you say so. But I know that you're not telling me something. Kagome we started whispering so that only she could hear. Can I talk to you alone tonight? I have something on my mind that I wanna talk to you about.

Sure Inuyasha when everyone goes to sleep we will talk ok.
