Love, Or Something Like It

Chapter 1: Flashback

Kagome's eyes filled with tears as she watched the love scene before her eyes. Every time a claw ran through Kikyou's hair, it was like a piece of her heart broke away from her.

' Inuyasha h-how could you?' she thought.

Her tears clouded her vision. She couldn't stand to watch anymore. She turned around and ran faster than she ever did before. Leaving pieces of her heart and soul behind her.

Flashback

The gang decided to stop for the night and make camp. Kagome clutched the jewel around her neck. It was almost complete. All that they had to do was get the ones from Kouga and defeat Naraku then it'll be all over. ' I wonder what will happen when the jewel is complete.' she thought. She looked over at Inuyasha who was looking out at the sky. The light from the fire seemed to make him glow.

'I want to stay here with Inuyasha, but will he let me?'

Inuyasha sensed that someone was staring at him, he looked over at Kagome, who quickly turned around and blushed. She was quickly knocked out of her thoughts when she heard Songo yelling.

" Hentai!" SMACK

Miroku reached up and caressed his cheek as he gave her the same smirk whenever he got smacked.

" Sorry Songo I just couldn't resist."

Shippou, who was sitting in Songo's lap, scoffed and said "Seriously Miroku you'll never learn." he hopped off of Songo's lap and ran to Kagome. "Kagome are you okay?" she picked up the little kit and hugged him "I'm fine Shippou I'm just a little tired."

All the while, Inuyasha didn't take his eyes off her. ' If Kagome ever left I don't know what I'd do I… just don't think I can survive without her, when the jewel is complete I know she has to make a choice.' he got up and walked over to her.

She was shocked when she felt Inuyasha's hands on her shoulders. "Kagome, can I talk to you?"

"S-sure." she put Shippou down and got up. "I'll be right back Shippou, why don't you set up the sleeping bag for us?"

"Okay" He said glumly. She smiled at him and lightly kissed him on the forehead. She followed Inuyasha into the forest, they ended up by a little stream. As soon as they got there, Inuyasha took Kagome's hands in his.

"Inuyasha, what's wrong?" she asked nervously. 'He never acted like this before.' her hands tingled in his.

"Kagome, when the jewel is complete, the well isn't going to be open forever, someday you're going to have to choose between here and you're time," she stared into his amber eyes.

"Inuyasha, what are you trying to say?''

Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. He hadn't meant to but something inside of him was telling him to. Kagome's eyes stared at his closed ones, then she closed hers. His tongue swept across her lips as if begging for an entrance. She understood and let him deepen the kiss.

At that very moment it felt like heaven to her, all the times she dreamed of being held in Inuyasha's arms filled her head. It felt like she was melting in his arms. They fell to they're knees. Inuyasha gave her one last tender kiss before he pulled her into a heartfelt embrace.

"Inuyasha?" she whispered.

" I just wanted you to know that…that whatever you choose, I want you to be happy."

Kagome hugged him tighter.

'Kagome, I need you here with me, I…I cant live without you'
