Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha, but as far as I'm concerned this story is mine, and I would like to keep it that way!

To Mend a Broken Heart
Chapter 1

Somehow, Kagome always managed to get herself into these situations. She didn't know how she did it, but it always seemed to happen. She would be fighting with InuYasha, and then BAM! Something would go wrong. Kagome was lost, weaponless, and utterly pissed off.

So how does a girl get herself into these types of things? Well here's how. She was weaponless because she had left camp without her bow. She was lost because she had run through the forest blindly in a fit of hurt/rage. And she was pissed because she had caught InuYasha sneaking off to go meet Kikyo. Again.

For the past several weeks, Kagome had caught InuYasha sneaking off when he thought everyone was asleep. Kagome still hadn't gotten over her little crush on InuYasha, and it still made her mad when she caught him sneaking off on his watch. Besides hurting her feelings, it wasn't safe for the rest of the group; even with Naraku gone and the jewel completed, demons still attacked them all the time wanting the complete jewel. It was dangerous for him to leave them unguarded while they slept, so Kagome knew that she had to address the problem. When she had confronted InuYasha and asked him about it, he had gotten very defensive, denied everything, and then he had even resorted to name-calling.

Tonight had been different, though. She had awoken when Kikyo's soul stealers had passed by the camp. Of course InuYasha hadn't been there, and the odd creatures were giving her the creeps, so Kagome had decided that she was going to check it out on her own.

The soul stealers took her straight to InuYasha and Kikyo.

They were under a tree and it was apparent what they had been doing just moments before. Kagome was a little grossed out as she watched them lay in a lover's embrace, but she couldn't move when their words started slowly drifting towards her.

"I love you, InuYasha," Kikyo practically sighed. Kagome winced at the extra-sweetness of Kikyo's already sugary-sweet voice. To Kagome, it was a voice that was too sticky to ever be trustworthy.

"I love you too, Kikyo. That has never changed," InuYasha replied looking more serene and content than Kagome had ever seen him before.

"What will become of us, love? Are you going to continue leaving me for the sake of the other miko? Do you have feelings for her as well?"

"Kagome? No, Kikyo. She is just my friend. I love only you."

"Your actions speak louder than words. You must be harboring some sort of feelings for her if you always go back to her."

"Kagome is just my friend. She could never be as beautiful, as strong, or as beloved as you are to me. She could never take your place," he said as he placed soft kisses on her neck.

Kagome felt a sharp pang in her heart. All the words that she had always wished to hear from InuYasha were being said, but they weren't being said to her. She almost left right there and went back to camp, but Kikyo was speaking again.

"Then prove it to me. Leave the other miko behind if she means nothing to you."

Kagome closed her eyes and wished that he wouldn't say it. "She means nothing, and if you need me to prove that, then I will go back to camp tomorrow and tell the others that I am leaving."

Kagome's heart felt like it had ripped in two. Even though she knew there was a high chance that InuYasha would never see her as a lover, it hurt when he said that she was nothing to him. He didn't even value their friendship or the memories they had shared, and that hurt the worst. She was angry and hurt, and she needed to get away from him as fast as possible. Kagome started running as rapidly as she could. She didn't have a clue where she was going; she just wanted to get away.

Eventually Kagome was too tired to run anymore, so she had to sit down and rest. As she did, she got to thinking, and soon enough she was livid. She was angry at InuYasha for being such an ass, and she was angry at herself for not only getting herself lost again, but letting InuYasha affect her so much. So she had started walking back to where she thought camp should be.

Which is what brought her to her current condition: lost, weaponless, and irate. On top of that, she had another problem. Demons were being drawn to the power of the completed jewel, and she could feel hundreds of their auras pressing in on her. They were getting closer and closer, and soon she would have to fight them without a weapon.

"Shit," she muttered out loud.

A/N: Hello! I've got some bad news, and it's okay to groan and stamp your feet when I tell you this... The rest of this story has been taken down because I am in the process of revising it! This story was my first-ever fanfiction, and it was sadly lacking. I loved this baby too much to just throw it away, and I couldn't stand completing it the way it was, so I'm revising it, like I'm revising everything else. Please be patient with me, because I'm in the process of so many different projects right now. I will try to get the chapters up in a timely manner, but it's hard when I have 50thousand other things to do as well. Just know that I am trying.

If you liked this then go on and read some of my other stories. Also, there is a poll on my profile that I would love some feedback on. If you read everything on here, then jump over to Fictionpress and read some of my other stuff ;) A lot of it is old and abandoned, but that's because it all lacked feedback. If I were to get some feedback over there... Anyway, I have the same username, so it shouldn't be that hard to find me if you are actually interested.

Leave a review and tell me what you think so far!
