Hi everyone, well this is my first real fanfic. I hope you will all enjoy and let me know what you guys think. If I get enough good reviews and if you guys really ill keep going, if not then ill have to quit after the first chapter. It might sound a little confusing at first but once I decide to put up the rest of the chapters then you'll see that it will all come together. I appreciate constructive criticism but make it nice-ish. It is my first fanfic you know. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters but I wish I did! That would be great.

A misunderstanding

She ran as fast as she could. She felt she had a huge weight on her shoulders. She couldn't help feeling the pain on her legs. They were getting heavy but she didn't care, she had to keep running. She moved every branch and shrub in her way frantically, causing scratches to appear all over her clothes, arms, and legs. Her cheeks were soaked with her tears. Her hands were also soaked with her tears, wiping eyes to clear her vision. She tripped over a tree stump in the ground and scratched her knee. There seemed to be no pain on her knee for the pain in her heart was greater. As she sat there watching the blood trickle down her leg she could hear her name being called in the distance. She then quickly picked herself up and kept running with as much speed as her legs could give her. She couldn't believe that it was happening again, just couldn't deal with it anymore, not now and not ever again. Her heart started to race with all the running. Just as she thought her heart was about to explode, she finally reached her hut. She looked around until she finally found what she was looking for. She quickly grabbed the Shikon no tama and headed out once again. After what seemed like hours she reached Sango and Miroku's hut. She burst through the door with tears still running down her face."Kagome? Is that you?" Asked Miroku as he put the twins down and turned to look at her.

"Kagome? Are you alright? What happened to you? Where's Inuyasha?" asked Sango, giving her newborn son to Miroku. She got up and walk towards her friend to comfort her but Kagome's exhaustion got the best of her and she collapsed to the floor, unconscious. "Oh my gosh, Kagome!" Sango quickly hurried to Kagome's side as Miroku put the baby into the crib so he could follow suit.

"Kagome! Kagome! wake up, come on wake up¦" she said, lightly shaking the unconscious miko. "Miroku, what do you think happened to her?" asked Sango. He didn't answer right away, instead he picked up the girl and placed her on the bed.

"I do not know my darling, but from the looks of it, the light scratches on her body and clothes, she must have been running through the forest but I wonder, from who?" He said while examining the scratches and bleeding knee. He got up to place a damp cloth on her forehead and covered her body with a blanket. "Inuyasha better have a good reason as to why he wasn't around when this happened to her. Where could he have been when all this happened?" asked Sango while staring at the sleeping miko on her bed. Watching as the girl started to sweat and pant. Each pant started to get stronger and the sweating increased. All Sango could do was try to calm her as Kagome's dream took over her.

"Damn it, Kagome wait! Don't leave! It's not what it looks like!" yelled Inuyasha as he ran following her scent. "I really did it this time but it wasn't entirely my fault. I wanted to end it for good, to have closure, but something happened. It was like I wasn't myself, like she had some kind of control over me. I tried to stop it but my body wouldn't respond, she did something to keep me there! but how could I convince her without sounding like a total idiot?! please Kagome forgive me, you can't leave me right now." Inuyasha said mentally, quickening his pace as he got closer to his hut. "I can't lose her right now, not after how close me and her got. I made her my mate for crying out loud, I need her!"

Inuyasha finally made it to his hut, he looked around. Everything seemed normal; nothingbroken or out of place. he quickly turned to look at where the Shikon no tama use to be. "The Shikon no tama is gone! did Kagome take it?!" Inuyasha sniffed the air. "Kagome was here a little while ago she headed towards…" He cut himself off and headed out the door towards the retired demon slayer and monk's hut.

"She's not waking up? This looks serious, what do we do? Do we take her to Kaede's? What?" asked Sango worry evident on her face. Miroku looked up at his wife. "No, Shippo is there and this will only worry him. Besides, she needs to rest right now. Let's wait for Inuyasha to arrive, he will take care of things." Sango sighed deeply. She was worriedabout Kagome, after all, she was like a sister to Sango. She was overjoyed when Kagome had told her about Inuyasha. She was relieved knowing that she had someone to watch her and make sure she was out of harms way. But what had happened? Where was Inuyasha when Kagome needed him? Sango became deep in thought, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find an explanation. "I hope everything is alright." Sango said as she got up to feed her son.

"He's mine now, his heart belongs to me. How can you not understand that? He will never belong to you. You're just a copy of myself and will never be what I was. I still mean more to him than you could ever hope for! So just give up already!" said Kikyo as she trailed her cold, dead fingers through Inuyasha's white mane, while still keeping her eyes on Kagome.

"No you're wrong! You had him once but that was the past. The past is over Kikyo and you have to let it go. Inuyasha and I are the future and the future is all that matters now. I'm telling you to let him go, now!" yelled Kagome with fire burning in her eyes. She was determined to get Inuyasha back no matter what it took. She felt her blood start to boil through her veins as the dead priestess kept her hands on the hanyou Kikyo seemed unfazed by her words.

"He made me a promise and he's going to keep his word." said Kikyo as she placed her hand over Inuyasha's chest. She stared into his eyes, they were blank. She smirked as she leaned towards him and was mere inches away from his lips. She looked over at Kagome then closed the gap in between them as she kissed his lips gently. She dug her fingers into his hair that caused the kiss to deepen. Inuyasha didn't budge as Kikyo kissed him which disgusted Kagome.

"No Inuyasha stop it! Let him go Kikyo, I'm warning you!" said Kagome shakily feeling helpless as tears rolled down her cheeks. The dead priestess broke the kiss as she stared evilly at the girl that threatened her. She spit out her next words like venom.

"Or you'll do what? You can't stop this and you know it. He's mine forever" she said. Suddenly a bright, red light came out from the ground that engulfed both Kikyo and Inuyasha. Once the light subsided Kagome watched in horror at what was happening before her eyes. The ground that the two were on started to sink.

"Snap out of it Inuyasha! You can't go to Hell with her and leave me, you can't!" yelled Kagome watching as the two kept sinking into the pits of Hell. Kikyo laughed evilly at the girl and did something that almost made Kagome faint. The hand that she had resting on his chest dug into him. Inuyasha threw his head back and screamed in agonizing pain while Kikyo's hand sunk deeper into his chest. Once she pulled her hand out, she smirked in satisfaction. Kagome felt like she wanted to vomit. Inuyasha's heart beat loudly in Kikyo's hand, blood dripping down from her hand to the ground.Thump, thumpThump, thump"I told you his heart belonged to me." said Kikyo smiling as she stared at the heart with a strange fascination that seemed psychotic. Kagome's head started to spin as the only thing she could hear was the heartbeats.Thump, thumpThump, thumpNo Inuyasha!" yelled Kagome. The ground kept sinking and the heartbeatsbecame more and more faint with each passing moment.Thump, thumpThump, thump"Inuyasha don't!" Kagome screamed as she sat up panting and sweating. Sango got up from feeding her son and ran to her friend's aid. Kagome looked at her friend and quickly went into her embrace and started to sob into her shoulder.

"It's alright, it was just a dream." said Sango as she stroked her fingers through Kagome's hair. She waited until Kagome sobs stopped then pulled her out of her embrace. "Do you want to talk about it?" asked Sango. She looked up at her husband and he took that as his cue to leave. He grabbed the twins hand in hand and headed out the door. Once he was gone,Sango looked at Kagome and waited for a response. "Sango you have to promise me something. You can't tell anyone what I'm about to tell you. Not Inuyasha, not Shippo, not Kaede, no one, not even Miroku alright?" Kagome grabbed Sango's hand and she could feel how tense her friend was.

"I promise, you can trust me." said Sango, staring intensely at her sister. Kagome took a deep breath before she began.

"I went to my time and came back to find something out. Sango I was going to tell everyone that I'm...I'm pregnant." Sango gasped and brought her sister into another embrace and smiled. "That's great news Kagome! Why would you want to keep that from everyone? Especially Inuyasha. He'll be so thrilled to know that you're going to have his child. Do you know how much he talks about having a child of his own, he won't shut up about it. Oh Kagome I'm so…" said Sango as she ranted on but stopped when she saw the look on Kagome's face. She didn't seem the least bit excited like she thought she would be. "Kagome?" Kagome started to get really nervous.

"That's the thing, he can't know about it" said Kagome. She started to fidget with her fingers.

"But why not? He has the right to know." asked Sango curiously. She didn't know what was going on for Kagome to act so irrational but she was going to find out. She came back from her thoughts when Kagome responded. "Because he did something to me that I can't forgive him for anymore ,you have to trust me Sango when I tell you you can't tell anyone. You have to promise me on your life that you won't say a word. I have to leave for a while and I don't know if I'll be coming back. He hurt me so much and if he can't be there for me then he can't be here for his child either so its over, I can't deal with it anymore." said Kagome, the tears that were threatening to come out of her eyes couldn't hold back anymore and they fell down her face. Sango started to cry because she knew Kagome was being serious and knew she probably was never going to see her sister again. They embraced one last time as Sango whispered in her ear. "I promise." With that said Kagome hugged Sango one last time and ran out of the hut towards the bone eaters' well with the Shikon no tama still in her possession.
