Chapter Five: Kagome and Inuyasha's Talk and Kikyo's Arrival

 

 

Two more days had passed, and an ominous cloud seemed to hang over the group. Inuyasha was even more irritable that he had been all week. Kagome was even more worried about him. She decided she would talk to him alone during lunch. As Inuyasha headed out of camp to think about the decision he would have to make today, Kagome quietly followed him out of camp. She found him up in a tree.

 

“Inuyasha, can I talk to you for a minute?”

“Feh, what for?”

“Please, I just want to talk. I promise not to bother you too long.”

 

“Okay, I'm comin' down.”

 

He silently landed in front of Kagome, startlingly her. Quietly, she sat down at the base of the tree, Inuyasha settling beside her.

 

“Inuyasha, I've noticed you've been very moody lately, and I was wondering what was bothering you. Maybe I could help you with whatever it is.”

 

“It's none of your business. Jeez, can't a guy just think in peace around here.”

 

Tears prickled Kagome's eyes at Inuyasha's harsh words. She slowly turned to face him, and gently hugged him, surprising the hanyou.

 

“Inuyasha, even if you don't want to tell me what's bothering you, that's okay. I just want you to know that I always be there if you need me. When you're ready to talk, all you have to do is ask.”

 

Slowly, Kagome let go of Inuyasha, and quietly got to her feet. She turned back toward camp and left Inuyasha to his thoughts.

 

As Kagome walked through the woods, she veered away from the camp in order to process her thoughts before being confronted by her friends. She wandered deeper into their gloom, paying no attention to her surroundings, or to the soul stealers dogging her path. Kikyo stepped out from behind a tree, her arrow drawn, aimed at Kagome's heart.

 

“Hello, Kagome.”

 

“Kikyo, what do you want?”

 

“Why, I want your life and your soul. With you out of the way, Inuyasha will finally bend to my will.”

 

With those words, Kikyo fired her arrow. Kagome watched in horror as it drew closer. She jumped out of the way, screaming Inuyasha's name.

 

“INUYASHA!”
