Author's Note

Hello everyone. This is my first attempt at a fanfiction. Anyway this is kinda based off a little story I heard a while back and it's super cute and fluffy. I am a fan of the Inuyasha/Kagome pairing, but I'm not a Kikyo hater. She's pretty cool, but she died and when someone dies, they're dead. She shouldn't have come back. But she did. Oh well… ok I'm rambling. Just enjoy the story. Also everything that is in ( " ) are what they're saying. Everything in ( ' ) is what they are thinking. Please review and make sure I spelled things right. ^_~

Disclaimer

I don't own Inuyasha and the gang… yet.

If You Walked Away

Kagome sat swinging her legs over the side of the medium sized boulder she had exiled herself to after her fight with Inuyasha. It was about 10 feet away from the well. The fight hadn't been that big, but large enough to earn him a sit.

~Flash Back~

Kagome let another arrow fly towards the tree she was using as a mark. It landed in the ground about 2 feet away from it. Inuyasha, who sat in the tree, laughed.

"What's so funny?"

Inuyasha immediately quieted and looked her straight in the eye.

"Nothing. It's just that you don't seem to be very focused."

"Oh really? And whatever gave you that idea?"

"Well… you're sucking more than usual."

3…2…1…

"SIT!"

"AGH!"

"Why don't you go and find Kikyo then! I'm sure she would never miss! I mean she got you right in the heart! That's perfect!"

'For you…'

~End Of Flash Back~

'I guess I over reacted. In the end everything leads back to her. In the end I'm just not as good.'

Kagome shifted her weight.

'I wish I knew for sure. I want to know for sure.'

"I wish I had the courage to ask-"

"Ask what, wench?"

"Inuyasha!?"

"No… Sesshomaru. I'm here for a tea party."

"Oh…"

"What did you want to ask me?"

Kagome sighed.

"Inuyasha… am I… pretty?"

Inuyasha stared.

'Did she hit her head? Where did this come from? How do I answer?'

Inuyasha shook his head to clear his thoughts. He went with instinct.

"No."

That stung Kagome deep, but that was only one of the questions she needed to ask. She continued.

"Do you want to be with me, Inuyasha?"

Again with instinct.

"No."

Kagome put her head down.

'One more and I'm leaving here for good. Kikyo can help with the shards.'

"Inuyasha… If I walked away would you cry."

Inuyasha cocked his head.

'What's that supposed to mean. Oh well. Here goes nothing.'

"No."

Kagome sighed. That was it.

'And now I walk away.'

Kagome walk up to the well and the shards off from around her neck. She set them down on the edge of the well and was about to haul herself over when a strong arm pulled her back.

"Huh?"

"You never let me explain, stupid girl."

He pulled her into a tight embrace.

"You're not pretty, you're beautiful. I don't want to be with you, I need to be with you. If you walked away I wouldn't cry, I would die. Please don't leave. I thought I could get away without telling you because I didn't want to get hurt if you thought I was a freak and at the end of the quest you could move on and be happy… that would've been enough for me."

Kagome pulled away.

"You really think after all we've been through that I could just walk away. I would've loved for you and Kikyo to be together if that's what would have made you happy."

"So to protect ourselves we put up a barrier."

"Yeah…"

"Put it back on."

"What?"

"The shards. Put them back on."

"Ok…"

"Kagome… I love you."

The school girl looked at him.

"Ya know… I love you too, dog boy."

"What!?"

Kagome started laughing.

"This is almost as good as sit."
