Chapter 1

Tears fell from Kagome's eyes as she saw Inuyasha clinging onto Kikyo. She knew that he still loved her but it hurt to actually see how much he did. She felt sad and mad at the same time because she knew it was her fault Inuyasha wasn't with her but she wanted to blame him for being so stupid and not noticing how much she cared for him. She tried to hold her cries of pain in but she couldn't. She let out a loud cry which made Inuyasha notice she was hiding behind a bush watching him. His face held an expression of shock as he said,"K-kagome?" He let go of Kikyo and started to walk towards her. Kikyo grabbed him and stopped him and leaned in to kiss him. He tried to pull away because he didn't want to in front of Kagome but she wouldn't let him. Kagome ran away as she saw this. Inuyasha pushed Kikyo away and chased after her. She ran as fast as she could but she didn't stand a chance of being faster than Inuyasha. He grabbed her and pulled her into his arms and jumped up to a tree."Inuyasha! Let me go!" she cried. Tears started to well up in his eyes,"No..you don't understand." Kagome yelled,"What is there not to understand about what I just saw?" A tear rolled down his cheek as he said," You don't understand that I'll never stop loving her!"

Kagome gasped and stopped breathing. She jumped down from the tree. She landed on her back and laid there for a little bit but not long enough for Inuyasha to get down and capture her again."Stop! I didn't mean it!" Inuyasha screamed as he chased Kagome through the well. When he entered her time he looked around the well for her and didn't see anything but her footprints in the snow. He followed them to the park that was located near her house. He looked around but no one was there. 'But this is where the footprints end' he thought. He couldn't use his sense of smell since he was in his human form. "Kagome! Where are you?" he yelled. After a few minutes of no response he yelled,"Come on! It's cold...you should get inside!" He didn't hear anything so he walked around looking for her. 'God! I had to screw things up again. Why did I even say that to her?' he thought as he walked around in the cold searching for her.

"Kagome! I didn't mean what I said. I love you!" he yelled but got the feeling that his confession wasn't being acknowledged. He ran to the house to look for her and found her in her room. He climbed up to the window just to find that it was locked. He knocked on the window and Kagome opened up the blinds. As soon as she saw it was him she unlocked the window and opened it up a little bit so he could hear her,"What do you want?" she asked. "Look, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. You know how I am...I don't think before I talk." She glared at him,"Yeah..you should practice that and come back when you think you've got it down." He was sad that she was acting this cold to her but at the same time he knew he deserved it. "Well I think I do...but if you won't let me in that's fine. I'll wait until you do...right here." he said as he turned his back to the window and leaned against the glass.

She rolled her eyes and laid down on her bed. She looked up at the ceiling and then over to Inuyasha. He was shivering and she could tell he was crying a little bit. She felt guilty but then the words "...I'll never stop loving her." played over in her head and she felt a little less guilty. 'I could read a book now...I never get to do that anymore.' she thought. So she pulled out A Clockwork Orange and started reading. The time flew by and when she turned to look at her clock it was 11 p.m. She had bene reading for 2 hours. She looked over to her window because she doubted Inuyasha would still be there but then was surprised when she saw him laying down, still shivering, by the window. She gasped and opened the window to let him in.

She looked down at him and realized he was asleep. She pulled him in and covered him in her blanket. She started to cry because what he told her may have sounded mean but she knew it all along anyway. Her cries woke him up and he looked around to see where he was. She crawled in bed beside him and cuddled up to him. He smiled and held her. He knew she'd forgiven him. He looked down at her and saw she was asleep. He slowly drifted off to sleep a few minutes later.
