Souta's Adventure chapter 2: memories and pain
Mistress Wolf: I really want people to read my fic! *done in sing-song voice*
Inuyasha: They're not gonna, 'cause it sucks.
Mistress Wolf: *glares* You're just mad 'cause Kagome left you.
Inuyasha: *growls* Why you...
Kouga: Kagome left you, Dog-Boy? Finally. *rubs hands together* Time to go fetch my woman.
Inuyasha: *screams and attacks Kouga* You stupid wolf! How dare you! I'm gonna kill you!
Mistress Wolf: *watches the two fight* I'm voting for Inuyasha. *nods* I hope he finally gets rid of that annoying guy who dares call himself a wolf-demon.
Sesshoumaru: Hmm...I hope they kill each other.
Mistress Wolf: *shrugs* Yeah, that'd work too.

Chapter Two: Memories and Pain

Kagome sat on the end of her bed, staring sadly at the floor. 'I've tried before a thousand time to forget him, but I can't.' She looked up at the ceiling and tears rolled back her face. 'And what about the others? Sango.' She thought of te female demon-exterminator who she had grown so close to that they were almost sisters.
'Miroku.' The monk with the curse of the Air Rip in his hand. She remembered how he had first asked her that infamous question. They had become close friends, nothing more than that. He had always been there when she needed help, willing to do anything for her, like he would do anything for any one of them.
'Shippou.' The little fox-demon, orphaned and so young, but willing to help wherever he could. She remembered when he had clung to Kouga's tail when the wolf-demon had kidnapped her, leaving behind a trail of mushrooms. He was so small and young, and fear was always present in his eyes, but there were many times when he had ignored it. He was alot like a younger brother to Kagome, tagging along behind, trying to be brave.
"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered. The name rang out in the silence of her room. Kagome remembered when they had first met. The only thing on his mind had been to get the Shikon no Tama and become a full demon. But as they had worked together to find the shards of the Shikon Jewel, it seemed that they had unknowingly grown closer.
Kagome fell back onto her bed, tears rolling down her cheeks. Memories flashed through her mind of when she and Inuyasha had worked together. She remembered their fight against Yura of the Hair, when they were still wary of each other. Inuyasha had protected her countless times, many times risking himself. She remembered when Kouga had kidnapped her. Inuyasha had come after Kouga, doing everything in his power to get Kagome back. "But still, he's in love with Kikyou," she muttered. "Inuyasha."

Kaede looked up when she heard the flapping of cloth as miroku, Sango, and Shippou walked into the hut. She looked back down at her soup ingredients as she spoke. "Have any of ye seen Inuyasha lately?"
"Not since this morning, Kaede," said Miroku. "Why?"
"Not long before now I heard a sound that could stop ye hearts cold. 'Twas a howl of pure sorrow."
"So," said Shippou, jumping forward. "What's bad about that?"
"The sound, I believe, came from the mouth of Inuyasha. Never before have I heard such a sound come from his throat."
"Do you think something might have happened to Kagome?" Shippou asked worriedly.
"Most likely, she and Inuyasha had another fight and Kagome went home," said Miroku. "She should be back in a day or two."
Kaede looked at Miroku with such intensity that he felt fear creep up his spine. Shippou saw the look that Kaede had in her eyes and a fear entered his. "Kagome!" he yelled, turning and running outside, heading to the well.
Miroku and Sango left, following.

Inuyasha's ears were wilted and his eyes downcast as he sat before the well. He did not move when he heard Shippou calling Kagome's name, and when he heard Miroku and Sango running after Shippou. He simply stared at the well in sorrow.
"Inuyasha!" Shippou yelled, jumping onto the edge of the well before Inuyasha's face. "Inuyasha, where's Kagome?" Inuyasha stared at the well for a moment, and then his head lowered, his eyes hidden behind long white bangs. "Inuyasha!" Shippou yelled.
Miroku and Sango stopped beside Shippou. "Inuyasha," said Miroku. "Where's..."
"Home," muttered Inuyasha.
"What" asked Miroku, stepped back as Inuyasha stood up, hiding his eyes beneath his bangs.
"Kagome went home," he said. "And she's not coming back." The jar of Shikon Jewels fell from his fingers as he turned and walked away. He did not stop to pick them up or even acknowledge them. He cimply walked on, a depressed air suffocating everything around him.

Mistress Wolf: *watches Inuyasha and Kouga go at it* Wow, they're pretty evenly matched.
Sesshoumaru: *nods* Even with the Shikon Jewels in Kouga's legs, Inuyasha manages to match his every move.
Mistress Wolf: Hmm...*picks up a pencil that glitters with power* I love being the writer. *proceeds to pick up a piece of paper with Kouga's name on top and erase a few things*
Kouga: *suddenly slows down* What the...
Mistress Wolf: *smiles and holds up two Shikon shards* Let's see how well you do against Inuyasha without your little cheating tools, Kouga.
Kouga: *growls*
Inuyasha: *smiles* Yeah Kouga, let's see.
