Note : I have not seen the entire Inuyasha series so im not quite sure how it ends.. so im just making most of this up from what I know. This is a Kagome and Sesshoumaru fan fic. Why? After reading a few fan fics I've come to love this pairing and decided to make a story of my own . If you don't like this pairing, than simply don't read the story.

Slowly, they start developing/admitting their feelings for one another. Will Sesshoumaru open his ice cold heart for a human girl?

Chapter 1 - The Betrayal, Kikyo's Kiss

It felt as if she had sprouted wings and was flying in mid-air. The tingling sensation of the well's magic overcame her entire body. In mere seconds she stood in a now damp dirt. All around her, vines rose up and out of the ancient well. She could smell the fresh scent of the country already. It was so different from that of the city, a sort of calm and relaxing scent. With her, she carried her backpack full of the usual necessary supplies. It weighed quite a bit, but she had gotten used to it by now. She grabbed on to the vines and pulled them a few times to make sure they were stable enough to lift her. Slowly she climbed up the well. In a few minutes she reached the top.

Kagome sat on the edge of the well and studied her surroundings. She closed her eyes and let her ebony black hair blow in the soft breeze. She almost never had time to admire the beauty of nature around her. It was the middle of spring. All around her there were dozens of trees and flowers. Each blooming beautifully with many different colors.

It had been a few months since they had defeated Naraku. Kagome came back often to visit her friends. During the battle, the Skikon Jewel was absorbed into her body once again and she now had access to the Bone-eaters Well whenever she chose. Along with access to the well, the Jewel gave her new magical powers. She still did not know how to use them exactly, but was slowly learning.

Kagome was especially excited today about seeing Inuyasha. She thought back about what happened the previous night.

Kagome wandered into the forest to get more fire-wood before the last bit was gone. She found herself in front of the tree Inuyasha had once been sealed to. She lifted her right hand and touched the tree in the spot where the arrow had pierced him. Kagome sighed, 'Why do you have to be such an idiot Inuyasha?' She walked beyond the tree and continued putting pieces of wood into her basket.

As she bent down to pick up another piece of wood, she heard a rumbling noise from one of the bushes. She quickly turned and began to look around for the cause of the noise. 'Shit! I don't have my bow and arrows with me. Hell I'd give anything to have any weapon with me.' Out of the bushes came what looked to be a bear demon. He had bright red glowing eyes, and large fangs. He started to growl menacingly at her as he approached. 'Shit! Where the hell is Inuyasha when you need him!' Kagome found herself unable to move. All she could do was stand there and look at the demon in front of her with frightened eyes. She dropped the basket of firewood and began to tremble. 'Come on Kagome, move... please.. move.' No matter how many times she told herself to move, her body gave no reaction.

Just as the demon was about to jump on her, she felt herself lifted off the ground. She looked up to face her savior. "Inuyasha..." is all she could say.

"Kagome you idiot! Why did you come out here alone?" He landed behind the bear with Kagome still in his hands.

Kagome blushed a light shade of pink, "I...I...came..to get.. firewood." She fell to the ground, leaning against one of the trees.

"Yeah whatever." Inuyasha took out Tetsusaiga and quickly cut through the demon. He put Tetsusagia back in its scabbard and walked over to where Kagome sat. He kneeled down on one knee and embraced her. Kagome gasped. She was in pure shock, "...Inu..Yasha..."

"Shhhhh," he replied as he pulled her closer. "Don't... don't you ever scare me like that again, got it?

Kagome pulled back a bit to look at him in the eyes and nodded. She rested her head on his shoulder and soon found her-self falling asleep. 'Maybe he does care?'

She smiled inwardly as she got up from the rim of the well and began to walk towards Kaede's village. As she made her way through the trail in the forest, she herd voices off to the side. Without a second thought, she followed the voices. They seemed so familiar. After a few seconds, she came to an opening and stopped dead in her tracks. A few yards away from her stood Inuyasha and Kikyo. Kagome was in shock. She was close enough to hear everything that they said.

Inuyasha held Kikyo's hand in his. "Kikyo, you know that I love you. I want to be with you forever." Inuyasha embraced her, and they shared a long passionate kiss. Kagome still stood hidden behind a tree watching the event happen. When they broke the kiss, Kikyo looked at Kagome straight in the eye. Kagome told herself to run away, but she just couldn't. Kikyo looked back to Inuyasha.

"But what about that one girl?" She asked him.

"Kagome?"

Kikyo nodded. Inuyasha sighed, "She means nothing to me Kikyo. You know that." Kikyo smiled a wicked smile and they shared another kiss. By this time Kagome had tears forming in her eyes. Inuyasha broke the kiss and looked back. He could smell the salt in her tears. As he turned around, he froze. Kagome stood in front of him watching everything from a few yards away. Her knees and fists shaking, her eyes watery, a single tear ran down her cheek.

"..Ka...Kagome...I..." Inuyasha tried to reach out towards her, but she turned and ran away. "Shit!" Inuyasha turned back to face Kikyo, but she was gone. He decided to chase after Kagome.

She ran into the forest without a care in the world. She didn't care where she was going or who might be out there. All she wanted to do was put as much distance between Inuyasha and herself as possible. Her tears were flowing freely now. 'How could I have been so stupid? ... so blind...'

Inuyasha jumped from tree to tree chasing Kagome's scent when he finally spotted her. He jumped down from the tree and started to chase her.

"Kagome! Wait!" Kagome looked back to find Inuyasha behind her. 'How dare he come after me!' She began to run faster but it was no use. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to a stop. She pulled her hand away from his quickly and laid both her hands at her sides, rolled into shaking fists. She looked down towards the ground, she didn't want to look at him in the eye.

He stood in front of her, a few feet away. "What the hell were you thinking? Are you crazy... Do you really want to get yourself killed that badly?" He scolded at her.

She stood still and said nothing. A small pool of tears was forming on the now damp ground.

Inuyasha sighed, "Kagome..." He said her name softly and soothing.

She sprung her head up at him quickly. Her eyes were red, her cheeks were stained with tears, her nose was a bit red. "HOW COULD YOU?" she screamed at him.

He walked closer to her but she pushed him away. "Im tired of it Inuyasha!" She sobbed. "All I ever do is show you how much I love you, and what do you do? You pretend to care."

Inuyasha stood still, shocked. He didn't dare say a word.

"You tell me you care one day and then break my heart another. I cant take it anymore. I'd rather be dead!"

"Kagome..." he repeated.

"NO! Don't Kagome me. Just leave me alone! Don't come after me. Don't try to comfort me. Go live with your damn dead priestess. Its obvious she loves you. You can tell by the way she try's to Kill you every time!

Kagome chuckled, "Then again, I guess me and you are kinda alike. We both want something that's never going to happen."

Kagome smiled at him, "Good bye, Inu-Yasha." She turned and started to walk away.

"Kagome! Wait!" Inuyasha took a few steps forward.

She turned her head to the side to glimpse at him. Another tear escaped her brown eye. "SIT!" Inuyasha was pushed down to the floor forming a huge crater. "Sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit siiiiiiiiiit." He soon fell unconscious.

Kagome ran into the forest once again.

- - - - - - -

A few hours later Inuyasha awoke in the crater. He looked around trying to remember where he was but his memory was blank. He looked at his surroundings and decided no one else could have done this but Kagome. Then it all came rushing back to him. Kikyo, the kiss, Kagome. 'Where the hell did she go?' There wasn't even the slightest bit of her scent in the air. 'Damn her! She could be anywhere.'

He decided it would be best to head back to the village and tell the others. He arrived at Kaede's hut and found Sango nervously pacing outside. Miroku was seated on the floor taking a nap along with Shippou.

"Inuyasha!" Sango's voice awoke Miroku and Shippou from their peaceful dreams. Kaede heard Inuyasha's name being called and stepped outside.

"Inuyasha," Kaede said, "Where is Kagome?" Everyone turned their attention towards him awaiting an answer.

"She..." he closed his eyes, "she ran away..."

"WHAT?" they all screamed in unison. Sango glared at him, "What did you do to her? Answer me!"

He looked down towards the floor and sighed. "She... saw me.. and kikyo."

They all gasped. Miroku spoke first, "...oh.." Sango went inside the hut to get her Hiraikotsu and Kirara. "Come on, we've got to go find her. She couldn't have gotten very far. They all split up. Sango, Kirara and Miroku went one way while Inuyasha went the other. Kaede decided to stay at the village incase she came back.

Hiraikotsu is Sango's boomerang weapon.

Tetsusaiga is Inuyasha's weapon. Of course -
