recollection
Inuyasha stalked into the apartment, barely noticing the icy look Kagome sent him. His mind was filled with Kikyo’s brown eyes, for once, filled with something other than revulsion. Fear flooded them, as well as a burning hatred that seemed to burn in her very soul. Inuyasha then saw that Naraku’s crimson eyes, the color of blood. They swirled around in his head. Inuyasha growled and shook his head, trying to clear the whole scene he had just witnessed from his mind.
He tried not to think what Naraku might be doing to Kikyo as a punishment for purifying him or whatever it was that she had done. He tried not to think of the red mark that Naraku’s strike had left on the snowy cheek or of the blood that had been trickling from the corner of her mouth. Or of the loud crack her head made when it contacted with the hard brick wall or of the way she looked at Naraku, as if this was all something old, as if it happened before.
Inuyasha pulled the math tests out of his bag and lay them out on the desk. He looked at the tests, none of the numbers and letters registering in his mind. He could hear Kagome muttering curses under her breath as she clanged the dishes in the sink. Inuyasha grimaced and massaged his temples with his fingers.
“Dinner” Kagome said shortly, anger tightly laced into her voice.
Inuyasha sighed, not looking forward to a confrontation with his girlfriend. Now don’t get him wrong, he loved her but she was one of the scariest people in existence when she was angry. Inuyasha sat down at the table and watched her warily. She plunked the bowl of rice down in front of him and sat down in front of him. They both picked at the food in an uncomfortable silence.
“kag-“
“Inu-“
They had both tried to speak at the same time. They both chuckled, loosening the tenseness in the air. Kagome gestured at him to go first.
“I’m sorry about what happened this afternoon Kagome.” Inuyasha apologized but he could see that Kagome wasn’t impressed. He sighed and continued, “I was trying to stop some jerk that’s in my math class from molesting the new girl.”
Kagome picked her food morosely, “oh really?”
“Yeah, you know Michael?” Inuyasha saw hope and went for it
Realization dawned on Kagome’s face as she recalled Inuyasha’s stories about the jock. “Oh…..” She looked down, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have gotten so mad then.”
“feh, don’t apologize.” Inuyasha looked down, the conversation stirring up the memories of what he had witnessed behind the school building.
“What’s wrong, you’re wearing your theres-something-wrong-but-im-going-act-like-nothings-wrong face.” Kagome looked at him with a frown creasing her face.
“I didn’t know that I had one.” Inuyasha laughed weakly, Kagome just gave him her you-better-tell-me look.
“It’s her business, I don’t think that I could tell you Kagome.” Inuyasha poked at his food morosely.
“Very well Inuyasha.” Kagome sighed, but Inuyasha missed the suspicious look his girlfriend gave him. They picked through their food for the rest of the meal in silence.
