'Thinking'

"Talking"

'He's with her again. Why does he keep going to see her when he knows it hurts me?'

Kagome sat alone under a tree in Kaede's village, the wind toying with her jet-black hair as she thought. She knew Inuyasha had gone to see Kikyou again. He left early in the morning, thinking that the rest of them were all asleep.

Flashback

She sensed a jewel shard nearby and they were getting closer. Miroku and Sango walked side by side to the right of her with Shippou on Miroku's shoulder and Kirara trotting behind them. Inuyasha was in the lead, hurrying them along hoping for another battle. Kagome lagged behind them. She tried to catch up to them but was unable to when suddenly they were surrounded by mist that engulfed them one by one in a dark haze. It was just her and Inuyasha and she knew he would disappear just like the others. She opened her mouth to call out to him but she felt the cold, menacing steel of a blade pressed against her throat. Inuyasha turned around and began to run towards her when he too vanished in the mist. Kagome whimpered as she felt the sharp edge slowly forcing harder against her skin until…

Kagome woke up in a cold sweat. She sat up and looked around as her eyes adjusted to the darkness. It was just a dream, she thought. Relaxing a little, she wiped her sweat soaked brow with the back of her hand and glanced around at her friends.

Sango slept soundly, Kirara curled up at her feet. Miroku sat leaning against a wall, muttering something Kagome couldn't understand. "I don't want to know what he's dreaming about," Kagome muttered under her breath looking down at the kitsune pup by her pillow and back up to where she last saw Inuyasha. He wasn't there.

She stood up, dropping the blanket she was clutching tightly in her left hand. She wandered around the sleeping forms of her friends and out the door. The sun was just rising and Kagome could see Inuyasha's shadow disappearing into the woods just outside of the village, Kikyou's soul collectors hovering above.

End Flashback

Pushing her hair behind her ear she sighed. She heard shuffling from inside the hut where they were staying and Sango appeared at the doorway. "Kagome, you're up early." She said walking towards Kagome.

"Yeah, I was just thinking."

Taking a seat beside her at the foot of the tree, Sango asked, "About what?"

"…Inuyasha."

"Hmmm. Where is he anyway? I noticed he wasn't inside."

Kagome looked down and buried her face in her knees. "He's… with Kikyou," she muttered pointing towards the woods. Sango looked over and saw the silvery-white demons weaving through the trees.

"Oh, Kagome. I'm sor…"

"Excuse me Sango," she said standing up. Her eyes hidden by her bangs, "I sort of want to be alone right now."

Inuyasha walked back to the village where his friends would be waking up at any minute. Despite the fact that him being with Kikyou meant hurting Kagome, he couldn't stay away from her. He'd loved her before she died and now that she was alive again he couldn't hold back his lingering feelings for her.

'But what about Kagome?' He asked himself as he arrived back into the village. He shook his head and sighed, 'Maybe I can just slip back inside while they're still asleep.' He thought before he suddenly became aware of someone talking on the other side of the tree infront of him.

"Oh Kagome. I'm sor…"

"Excuse me Sango, I sort of want to be alone right now."

Inuyasha watched as Kagome walked away, her arms folded over her chest, tears freely falling from her soft, chestnut brown eyes. "Kagome…" Inuyasha whispered as she went father and farther beyond his reach.

It was then that Sango noticed him there. She looked at him with a disappointment in her eyes. "How could you?" She said before shaking her head and walking away, leaving Inuyasha alone.

Kagome walked dejectedly through the woods going anywhere away from the village. She didn't want to be near Inuyasha when he returned. She stopped, sighing, then sat down on the roots of a nearby tree and once again buried her face in her knees, clasping her legs to her chest. 'What am I going to do? Maybe I should go home.'

Her thoughts were interrupted by a rustling sound behind her. "Wh-who's there?" She stuttered.

She stood up looking around, wildly shaking in fear.

"Kagome?" She heard a voice and felt a hand on her shoulder. She screamed and whirled around, slapping the hand off of her shoulder. While taking a step back she tripped on the root of a tree and fell backwards to the ground. She looked up and saw Miroku looking down at her with a surprised look on his face. "Kagome, are you all right?" Miroku asked helping her back to her feet.

"I'm…not really." Kagome tilted her head to the ground, a dispirited, relinquished look on her face.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha's voice sounded through the woods as he jumped infront of her. "Are you okay? I heard you scream and…"

"Inuyasha." Kagome whispered holding back the tears that stood in her eyes. She looked up at him and tried to speak but all that came out was a sob as tears fell down her cheeks. It was too much for her so she ran, away from Inuyasha and all the pain, towards the Bone Eaters Well.

"Kagome wait!" Inuyasha yelled after her and prepared to run the direction she had taken, but Miroku placed his hand on Inuyasha's shoulder to stop him. "She clearly does not wish to talk to you Inuyasha, give her some time."

"I guess I could give her a few days."

Finally reaching the familiar dry, rotting wood surrounding the opening of the well, Kagome leaned over past the frame and gazed down to the inmost part of the well. She wiped her eyes clearing her vision from the blur the tears had caused. She stepped up onto the wood and jumped.

'He'll always love Kikyou and I can't help that. Well, he's all yours now Kikyou, I give up.'

Well, I plan on making this a one-shot unless I get a strong vote not to. Hope you liked it cause it wasn't the easiest ending to write (I'm not very fond of Kikyou, to put it lightly).

I'll leave you with the decision on whether or not to continue.

Ja Ne.
