Chapter 6: The fallacious smile
(false)
Sango and Kagome sat next to each other in the steamy water. The sun was now sleeping and the stars were peeping out of the darkening sky. Sango felt horrible not knowing what was wrong with her best friend. All she knew was that her adopted sister was upset and she didn’t know why.
“Kagome please!” Sango blurted out, disturbing the silence. “Tell me what’s wrong? Why are you so depressed? Please Kagome, we are all very worried about you.” Kagome sat for a moment and thought. ‘I guess I didn’t realize they were worried about me, but I don’t want to talk to Inuyasha! AHHHH! Just get the jewel shards! Just get the shards and leave. You can do it. You need to. You’re stronger than that. Now get it together! You’re a good actor. Act as if nothing is wrong. Do you really want them to be asking you all these questions? No!’ Kagome sat straight up and took in a deep breath.
“I’m sorry Sango, I haven’t been myself today, forgive me. I just… I have a lot on my mind with all the villagers that were talking to me yesterday. They were all treating me like… like a god. I don’t deserve that! I just helped them out because it seemed like the right thing to do. I just want people to… to look at me the way you do. You don’t expect anything from me.” Sango’s eyebrows rose.
“Oh, Kagome. Is that why? We are all grateful for everything you’ve done for us. You have helped so many people. I don’t think the villagers expect anything from you except for you to be yourself. You are a good person with a kind heart, it‘s who you are. Please cheer up.” Kagome forced a smile. ‘My kind heart was shattered by a backstabbing hanyou. I don’t need Inuyasha! I just have to act like I did before or more questions will come up that I can’t answer.’
“Thanks Sango. I will… how about I show you how to shave?” Kagome smiled as best she could, but still had that dull look in her eyes and even deeper… her heart. Kagome grabbed her razor and soap from the bank and proceeded to show Sango how to shave without nicking. That didn’t work as well as she hoped. Kagome cut herself and began to bleed.
“Kagome! Are you alright?” Sango rushed to her side starring at the blood dripping from her ankle.
“Yeah. I’m fine.” Kagome looked around the hot spring puzzled.
“What is it?”
“I was just wondering why Inuyasha wasn’t running here asking who hurt me. I thought he would have smelled my blood.” Kagome winced as she lowered her ankle back into the water.
“We’re probably downwind because even I can smell dinner. I’m starved, let’s get back.” Sango smiled.
“If it’s alright with you, I’d like to spend a couple more minutes relaxing.” Kagome put on the biggest fake smile she could. “This feels really good and it is helping to relieve some cramps I’m having.” Sango stood at the bank redressing and was excited when she saw Kagome smile.
“As long as you’re sure you’ll be ok.”
“I’ll be fine. I know you worry, but we are really close to camp and if anything happens, you’ll hear me. I will only stay for a little longer. I promise that I’ll be back soon.” It worked. Kagome pulled off the acting well and managed to convince the slayer.
“Alright, but please hurry. I don’t think I can hold off Inuyasha for long.” Sango smiled and walked back to camp. Kagome leaned back and stretched her arms out to the sides.
“Ahhhh. This feels so good… I just don’t want to stay here. I want to do something.” Kagome stood and walked out of the water to dry off. As she dressed, she stared at the bright moon. Unfortunately, only part of the moon was visible past the tree tops. ’It would be nice to see the whole moon. It’s just like me; Alone. It’s stuck to the earth just like I am stuck to Inuyasha. ’ An idea hit Kagome and she shouted toward camp.
“Hey Inuyasha! Come here.” Within a mere second Inuyasha bound out of the trees with a transformed Tetsusaiga.
“Where is he? What’s wrong?” He growled looking around with piercing eyes.
“Inuyasha. Do you sense or smell any demons near us?” Inuyasha sheathed his sword and sniffed.
“No… why?”
“Well then, I’m going for a walk.” She stated as a matter of fact. Inuyasha was shocked; Kagome never went anywhere without someone else with her. Why now?
“What? No your not! It’s too dangerous! Are you crazy? I won’t allow it.” Kagome’s face fumed bright red as she clamped her hands into fists at her sides. Inuyasha shrunk when he saw the all too common look she gave him. “Uh. Kagome. No, please don’t.” Inuyasha clenched his teeth and closed his eyes.
“Inuyasha!” Kagome yelled. He waited for the word, and after a moment he looked up at her. She was no longer red, but she still had her eyes closed and her hands in fists at her sides. Kagome regained her composure. “Inuyasha… you already said that there are no demons near, so I won’t be in any danger. If I take my brief walk WITHOUT anyone else, I will not use the subjugation beads on you. Kagome opened her eyes and stared with fire. “If you allow me, I will be back later.”
“No way!” He shot back. Kagome spoke soft yet firm,
“Fine.” Inuyasha was stunned! Had she just agreed with him? He actually won an argument? He must be dreaming… Kagome actually agreed without wanting to go home?
“Sit!” Kagome’s voice echoed off the trees and Inuyasha hit the ground with a loud thump. “Do not look for me or I will say it until you are so far down you won‘t need Kikyo to go to hell!” With that said, Kagome trudged away from the camp and hanyou. Miroku and Sango gazed into the crater that held Inuyasha. By the depth, they knew that Inuyasha had obviously made Kagome very upset.
“At least she’s back to herself.” Miroku chuckled and walked away back to camp. So little did they actually know about Kagome’s inner turmoil.
