Betrayal And Renewal

InuYasha , Kagome , Sango and Miroku sat in silence around the fire in complete silence. Shippo and kirara were curled up together beside kagome. The wind had faded away into nothingness as the sun settled on the horizon. The crackling of the fire increased as InuYasha fed the fire. After a few minutes InuYasha got up.

"InuYasha?" asked kagome. Apparently she hadn't seen the bluish glow behind her in the forest

"I'm going for a walk." he said in an emotionless tone. As he walked swiftly away, kagome gave off a sad and confused expression. Thoughts of kikyo began to flood her mind.

'Figures. He's gone to kikyo again. Why can't he just, for once, be happy to have me by his side?' kagome thought unpleasantly while watching where InuYasha had disappeared from sight.

"Kagome are you okay?" asked Sango.

'I hope she's okay. Poor girl. This must be hard on her. To see the one she loves run off to some other girl.' thought Sango sypatheticaly as she watched her friend jump, nod and watch the fire with a far away-look in her eyes.

"Kagome. Are you sure your alright? You look out of it. InuYasha will be back soon. Like he said, he was gonna just gonna go for a walk, probably to clear his thoughts. InuYasha always has things on his mind."

"Your right Miroku. I should just get some sleep. InuYasha will be back in the morning." said kagome. They could tell that she was really not convinced. She took out her sleeping bag and slipped inside, falling asleep almost instantly.

InuYasha followed the soul collectors tot the other end of the forest, right on the edge. As he reached the very edge of the forest he couldn't help but feel guilty for leaving kagome to see kikyo. He knew she hated it but for some reason he just had to see Kikyo. 'I mean come on. She dosn't own me! That wench can't tell me what to do!' he reassured himself in his head but deep down he knew it was wrong to leave kagome. What if something happened while he was gone? He assured himself that she would be fine. Deep down he knew very well that he loved kagome more then anything. Even Kikyo. At the thought, he caught sight of her. Kikyo. She stood before him a little ways away. She stood looking at him from the side. Beyond her, a rather large village. She turned her back to him and walked toward the village at her own pace. InuYasha knew that this was a sign to follow her. He followed just a few feet behind her.

"Where are we going? Kikyo where are you taking me?" he asked suspicusly.

"No more words InuYasha. No more words" she almost whispered the sentence. InuYasha got a bad feeling in his gut but as always, shrugged it off.

When the two reached the village and kikyo was welcomed in with open arms. As InuYasha approched they raised their weapons. "Leave half Demon scum!" one screamed.

"Damn half demon. Begone with you!" said another. Whispers were passed all around and more insults were hurled at the surrounded hanyou. The fight began betwenn InuYasha and the villagers. 'Kagome will sit me to hell if I kill anyone. I'll just have to knock them out.' InuYasha thought while jumping from place to place trying to wear all those pathetic humans out. Until he was shlshed deeply across the legs. He grunted in pain and fell to the ground and the villagers.

A/N: dont worry guys. part two shouldnt be too long!
