Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.
Prologue: A couple of days ago Inuyasha promised Kagome he wouldn't go after Kikyo again. Only a few days later he goes to see her, leaving Kagome devastated and angry. Instead of going back to her era she heads into the forest on her own…..
Love Will Find A Way
She was running. For how long, she didn't know or who she was running from. The angry demon chasing her or Inuyasha. Blood was pouring from the wounds the demon gave her but she kept running. Her whole body ached as she ran through the dense forest. Her body urged her on but her heart cried out 'what's the point. He doesn't love you'. Tears rolled down her cheeks as the demon snarled and grew closer to her. Her broken bow was still in her hand and she griped it tightly. Her legs and arms were starting to weaken as blood poured from them. She eventually ran into an empty clearing beside a river. She looked over her shoulder and saw the demon still chasing her. At that moment she tripped over a large stone and fell to the ground. She turned onto her back so she could face it. It roared out and clawed her across her stomach. She cried out in pain and threw her broken bow at its head. It groaned and pushed her swiftly against another rock knocking her unconscious. It pulled the necklace, holding the jar of jewel shards, of her neck and ran of into the forest leaving Kagome's unconscious body in the middle of nowhere. Alone.
"I can't believe that Inuyasha" Sango said through gritted teeth "How can he do this to Kagome?".
"He only promised Kagome a few days ago" Shippo added angrily. He hated it when Kagome was sad but he hated Inuyasha more for making Kagome sad.
"I agree but he must have his reasons" Miroku argued.
"Yeah he can be such a...I better not say. I still can't believe him" Sango fumed. She knew how upset Kagome got when Inuyasha went of after Kikyo and how happy she was when he promised her he wouldn't go anymore. It broke Sango's heart to see her best friend's reaction when he left.
"I hope he comes back soon and goes after Kagome cus we can't go through the well" Shippo said sadly little knowing that Kagome never went home.
"I'm sure he will be back soon. He has been gone for quite some time" Miroku pointed out as the three stared out into the distance where Inuyasha took off.
"Is he not back yet?" Kaede asked as she walked over to the group.
"No but if he doesn't come back soon I will personally go and drag him back" Sango growled.
"When did Kagome leave?" she asked staring out into the distance.
"Not very long ago. She was so upset at least she is safe in her era" Sango smiled half heartedly.
"She went home?" Kaede quizzed.
"Yes, I think. Well she went in the direction of the well" Miroku replied.
"I see, well at least this way she can have some peace in her era" Kaede smiled sadly as she walked back to her hut.
"Yes Kaede's right Sango. When Inuyasha does get back we will leave him to go get Kagome himself" Miroku nodded.
"When he gets back" Shippo said.
"Kikyo?. Where are you?" Inuyasha called out.
"Inuyasha. Why are you here?" the dead priestess asked sternly.
"I came to see if you are alright".
"And why shouldn't I be?" she snapped.
Inuyasha's ears flattened on his head. He watched as she shoot her arrows at a tree's trunk.
"I was worried. When I heard you had that run in with Naraku, I wanted to see for myself that you were ok" he said.
"I'm fine" she snapped back and shot another arrow at the tree.
"You don't have to get all snappy. I was just concerned" he half shouted.
"Well don't be!. You are a worthless half demon. What use are you to me" she shouted angrily at him.
"Why are you being like this?" he shouted dejectedly back at her.
"You really are thick. You never stuck by your promise to be human!. You want to be full demon now" she shouted.
"Why would I want to be human now. Your dead. What's the bloody point. Besides you never really wanted me to be human you just wanted to be rid of the jewel" he snarled at her.
Kikyo stared at him emotionlessly.
"Besides Kagome doesn't want me to change. She loves me for me. Were as you wanted me to change. God, why didn't I see this before" he growled. Kikyo just stared at him. He was right she wanted him to change. In her anger she arched an arrow and aimed it at him. Inuyasha stood his ground and stared into her cold, dead eyes.
"She doesn't love you. How could someone love you!. Now go and never return" she shouted at him.
Inuyasha took this comment hard and turned on his heels and headed back in the direction of the village.
The group were sitting down by the lakes around the village waiting for Inuyasha to return. He had been gone for ages and they were starting to get worried.
"If he doesn't come back soon and go after Kagome, she will think he was chosen Kikyo over her" Sango sighed.
"Yeah she has been gone ages. Poor Kagome" Shippo sighed sadly.
Just then they spotted a figure walking towards the village in the distance. It was Inuyasha. He had his head hanging low and his bangs were covering his eyes. They group stood up and waited for him to reach them. He walked up to them and looked around for Kagome.
"Where is Kagome?" he asked sniffing the air trying to catch her scent.
"She is over there laughing and playing with the village children" Sango snapped sarcastically.
"Really?"
"Of course she isn't you idiot!. She's gone home" Shippo shouted.
"I see" he sighed sadly.
"You better go and get her Inuyasha. The poor girl is upset and its your fault" Sango growled.
Inuyasha turned and walked slowly to the well.
Miroku watched his friend while Sango and Shippo were fuming with rage.
"Something is wrong" Miroku mumbled.
"What?" Sango asked calmer.
"I don't know but something is bothering Inuyasha. He is quiet. Too quiet" he said.
Inuyasha jumped out of the well and walked up to the back door of the Higurashi shrine house. He pushed open the door and stepped inside. Sota came out of the kitchen and smiled.
"Hey Inuyasha. What's up?" he greeted.
"Hey. Is Kagome here?" he asked sniffing around.
"Nope haven't seen her in ages" Sota replied.
"What she's not here?".
