A/N: Hope you like this! It will probably be like 2 chapters.. still thinking of ideas for the second chapter. Give me some suggestions!

Chapter 1: Speechless

"You went out after Kikyo didn't you?" Kagome said while looking at her knees, tears building up in her eyes. She was sitting across from him.

"Yea I did Kagome, I wanted to see what she wanted," Inuyasha replied, unable to look at her directly. "Why do you want to know anyway? It's none of your business what I do!" That came out harsher than expected but he stood his ground. They were all gathered around the campfire. It was late evening and everyone was finishing the dinner Kagome made. Everyone tensed after what he said.

"Because I care about your safety!" she screamed, her sadness being replaced by anger.

"I can take care of myself!" he shouted back.

"Well apparently you can't because last time she almost dragged you to hell! You don't think she might try to pull that stunt again?!" she countered. Rage very evident in her voice.

"She won't! She is not like that anymore!" he snapped right back at her.

" Alright then Inuyasha. Enlighten me! How is she different then before?!" she screamed at his face.

"She doesn't try to kill anyone except Naraku! She understands he was the one who pinned us against each other! Our love for one another has never died and never will!" he bellowed.

Everything was silent until Kagome spoke once more. "If she loved you so much she would have never tried to kill you anyways. She gave Naraku the jewel shards that she stole from me! That almost killed you! Then she had the nerve of calling after you when you were in such horrible condition. And, and….If she loved you so much she wouldn't have pinned you to the tree!" she finished, breathing heavily.

Inuyasha was speechless for a moment, taking in all that she has said.

"She thought I betrayed her, Kagome. She didn't know." Inuyasha whispered looking up at Kagome's face. She looked hurt. Her eyes were watery and holding an emotion he couldn't decipher.

"Naraku shape shifted into Kikyo that shot arrows at you. You still should have been able to sense a sinister demonic aura coming from her, but you didn't. Naraku wasn't doing anything to cover it up, yet you still didn't sense it. You were too caught up in thinking you were betrayed. As for Kikyo, she should have sensed a very strong aura emanating from Naraku, who shape shifted into you. She should have know it was someone else but she didn't. You both didn't trust each other enough, that's why you easily fell for Naraku's trap," Kagome said looking up at Inuyasha.

Everyone's eyes widened at the truth of what she said. They were all beyond speechless. They all sat there, motionless. Waiting to see what's gonna happen next.

Kagome took a shaky breath. "Even if Naraku never came in between you both, the jewel would have never been purified." She stated.

"What do you mean? Kikyo would have been able to.." Inuyasha stared but couldn't finish because Kagome interrupted him.

"I know that she was gonna wish for you to be human, but it would not have purified the jewel, it would have tainted it. That jewel would have taken it as selfish wish because she wanted to become an ordinary woman, which was her goal. To purify the jewel, you would have to make a selfless wish." She finished. She then stood up, got out her sleeping bag, and closed her eyes.

All of them were too stunned to do anything at the moment. They all peered at Inuyasha. His eyes held so many different emotions. Shippo cautiously made his way into Kagome's sleeping bag. Sango exchanged a look with Miroku. They both made their way to their sleeping places, and closed their eyes. Inuyasha was the only one with his eyes open, staring intently at the fire.

A/N: Kagome has got a point! Give me suggestions for the second chapter! Reviews are appreciated!
