Author's Note: I was listening to "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down when
the idea for this story popped into my head. I couldn't decide whose P.O.V.
I wanted to use for the first two chapters so I decided to use both
Kagome's and Inu Yasha's P.O.V. I had help with this story. thanx to a few
good friends of mine.. so read on dear reader.

Kag.'s P.O.V.
'Why does it seem like he hates me so much?' I thought as I walked alone on this cold, starry night. Actually, I wandered off to be alone... in a way. Away from him, away from everything. Inu Yasha. I couldn't think of his name much less him without wanting to break down and cry.
'He's always calling me names and I hate it!' I wanted to scream but didn't. Instead, I sat down, leaned against a tree, and I let my tears fall silently to the ground.
"But I love him!" I sighed while the tears continued to fall.

Inu Yasha's P.O.V.
I woke up and noticed she was gone. (A.N. I can't make him hate her... that's TOO mean & Inu's sweet... I think)
'Now where'd she go?' I asked myself. I could smell her scent, but she was far away. I got up and began to follow it intent on finding her. As I got closer to her, I could distinctly smell the scent of tears as well as hear the sounds of crying along with the sound her muttering something.
"But I love him". I could have sworn she just said that.
"But who is she talking about" I whispered to myself.
**********
Kag's P.O.V.
"I need to forget about him. He'll never love me because he loved and probably still loves Kikyo" I said quietly. I knew that if Inu Yasha had been close by, he would have heard me and he'd probably have agreed with me too. Realizing this I was almost laughing and crying at the same time from the irony. "Even though I'm the reincarnation of Kikyo, I'll never match up to her in Inu Yasha's eye. I may as well just finish finding these damn jewel shards to the Shikon Jewel, then go back to my time and close up the well... forever,".
"Forever," I whispered, then continued to cry softly unknowing of his presence near by.

Inu's P.O.V.
'WHAT?!?!??!' I screamed in my mind, and nearly fell over. 'Kagome loves ME? How can that be? And Kikyo... she's gone for good. I... I... This is Crazy!' I thought. 'But.... I.... Oh how I want to hold you in my arms right now Kagome. To comfort you... protect you... wipe your tears away and tell you everything's gonna be alright... that I'm here for you, truly here for you'.
I crept closer quietly and listened. 'Forever? She wants to leave me?' I thought, while a pain in my heart grew. a pain I had never known before. 'No. this can't be. I cannot let her and yet I can't stop her' I sighed quietly and kept listening. She had stopped crying and I watched her as she stood up.
'Uh oh, I'd better get back' I thought, as I ran as quickly and as quietly as I could. I was pretending to be asleep when she came back.
**********
Kag's P.O.V.
I walked back to the small campsite we had set up that night. He was sleeping, so I crawled back into my sleeping bag and TRIED to go back to sleep. But that wasn't gonna be happening anytime soon. I sighed and sat up.
'Well, that walk didn't help, for it seems that sleep has deserted me tonight no matter what I do' I thought as I felt like I wanted to cry again. I ignored the urge to do so and laid back down to TRY to get some sleep and I watched him as he slept.
'He looks so adorable and peaceful when he's sleeping' I thought. "But with my luck he's probably dreaming of Kikyo" I told myself. I rolled over so my back was to him, and I let the tears fall again and ended up crying myself to sleep.
**********
Inu's P.O.V.
I heard her come back and lay down. I opened one eye and watched her. She sat up causing me to close it again so as not to be found out. I slowly opened it again only enough so that I could see her, but to her, it would look like I was still sleeping. I watched her as she watched me.
"But with my luck he's probably dreaming of Kikyo" I overheard her say.
'WHAT?!? Kikyo? Why would I dream of that traitorous little bitch?' I thought. "If I were dreaming about anyone, it sure wouldn't be Kikyo. It would be you, Kagome" I whispered. I contemplated whether I should go lay next to her or not.
'If I do, I'll want to kiss her, and hold her for the rest of the night," I thought to myself.
'I'll go for it and see what happens. It's the only way I'll know' I told myself. I stood up and crept over to where she lay and to my own heartache I heard her crying again. Hell, I smelled it.
'Maybe this wasn't such a good idea' I scolded myself mentally. But I sat down behind her, listening and watching her. Then when I realized that she'd cried herself to sleep I laid down and went to sleep myself. I dreamed of both Kagome and Kikyo.
**********
A.N. I will have Inu Yasha and Kagome kiss by the end of the next chapter no matter what it takes... I promise
