Too Much by Ashley

Prologue

Inu-Yasha and the gang were walking down another road. They had just defeated another big demon who came for the Shikon shards... and before that they had to fight another big demon which almost got Kagome killed again. They had been attacked by a lot of demons lately and it never seemed to stop. Kagome was getting real tired of getting attacked by demons, especially when the demons didn't hold any Shikon shards. They would probably get attacked today again. Kagome sighed and gazed into the sky. It was blue... and not a cloud anywhere. Some poeple would call that a beautiful day, but if the day were too beautiful it was always problems coming ahead. "Oooooh..." Kagome aid and everybody turned to stare at her. "WHAT!?" She yelled at them and they immediately turned back to look ahead of the road. Usually Kagome walked with Inu-Yasha and Shippou but today she chose to stay behind. Shippou continually ran back to her but she just stayed quiet no matter what he did or said. Shippou then ran back to Inu-Yasha "Inu-Yasha" He said and tugged at his clothes. "What?" He turned to look at the little fox demon. "Kagome's so quiet... and she isn't walking with us today... what's wrong?" For a moment Shippou thought he saw worry on Inu-Yasha's face but that disappeared quickly. "Feh... humans are weak, she's probably got a headache or something." He said and turned back to look ahead of the road. "But--" Shippou said but Inu-Yasha just ignored him. But Inu-Yasha was thinking about Kagome too, she had been unusually quiet the last few days... and she seemed to be avoiding him. Was it something that he'd done? Or was he just imagining things... he had probably done something to make her really mad. Maybe she was mad of because of what he did the last time he'd come to pick her up in her time. He had seen her talking to a good-looking human male. Inu-Yasha had instantly gotten jealous and just had to butt-in. He had come and but himself between them and then he began screaming at the boy that if he ever got close to Kagome again he's rip his bowels out. When he had seen Inu-Yasha's ears and claws the poor boy had gotten really afraid and ran off... poor weak human boy, oh well... Kagome should be grateful! He helped her! If she had gotten pups with that human they would probably end up being weak cowards all of them, so he really did her a favor! She shouldn't be mad at him for that... but still... there had to be something she was angry about. Inu-Yasha groaned and shaked his head, all this was making his head hurt! He turned to look at Kagome... she was way back... as far away from him as possibly, so he decided to get closer. He made a jump and landed before her. "HO!" He yelled and she lifted her head to look at him. "Why are you walking back here? and not in the front?" He asked her. She was silent for a while and then she turned her face away. "I wanted to be alone for a while..." She said and sighed. He looked at her for a while "You're angry at me aren't you? For what I did before?" She looked at him confused "What?" He was surprised, she didn't remember it! "Well if you don't remember it it can't be the reason why you're so mad at me..." He said and folded his arms. "Oh no Inu-Yasha! I'm not mad at you! I only wanted some time to think about a few things! And it's a little hard with YOU walking there too." She smiled and him. "And what's that supposed to mean?!" He yelled at her. "That you can never learn how to shut up." She said simply, closed her eyes and folded her arms. "Why you--" She smiled at him and said "You see? you can't keep quiet at all." He hmphed and went back to where he walked before. Kagome sighed again and began thinking. "" She only had time to finish that thought and then she tripped on a root. "AAAAAAAA!!!!!" She yelled as she fell to the ground. Everybody turned to look at her, she looked pretty funny. Her head was pressed to the ground and her legs were up in the air. Her arms were trying to push herself off of the ground but didn't really succeed. Inu-Yasha stepped over and folded his arms "You are such a klutz." She groaned and got off the ground. "You are such a jerk Inu-Yasha!" She screamed at him. "Why can't you be nice! Like the boys back in my time!" Inu-Yasha raised one of his eyebrows. "Like the boys back in your time...?" He glared at her "You mean you're seeing other guys in your time!?! Who told you you were allowed to do that!?" He yelled at her. Kagome stared at him for a while and then she started boiling out of anger. "INU-YASHA! THIS IS MY LIFE AND I CAN DO EXACTLY WHAT I WANT WITH IT!! I'M JUST HERE BECAUSE OF THAT JEWEL! AND IF THERE WAS NO JEWEL I WOULDN'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed. Inu-Yasha was shocked, sure he had seen her angry before, and calling him jerk and things like that... but this time... she had just said that she didn't care about him... that she just cared about the jewel... that when she had found it she'd leave him... forever... "K-Kagome... d-do you mean that?" He asked her carefully. "Of course I do!" She yelled at him and turned her back to him. "I mean... the feudal age isn't exactly where I want to spend my time, I just want to find the jewel so no more humans will get hurt." Inu-Yasha looked sad, heartbroken... and truly miserable. Shippou walked to her, a sad look on his face "You don't even care about me...?" Kagome was quiet for a while, and then she sighed and said "Leave me alone." Then she left. They were all staring at her as she walked down the road again... none of them went after her, even though they wanted to they couldn't... Kagome didn't care about them... they were all just a pain in the but. Inu-Yasha fell to his knees... miserable. "Kagome..." He whispered and then a tear slid down his face. He didn't bother to wipe it away... Shippou were crying floods, but that was only expected. Sango was still staring down the road, a look of shock on her face. Miroku looked sad, and turned his face to look at the ground... then he turned his face away and sat down. "Kagome..." Inu-Yasha said again and ran into the forest. The others didn't go after him, didn't even look in the direction he had went off to... they were to busy with their own feelings at the moment.
