Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha... if I did I would be the happiest person on Earth. But no. InuYasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi, oh well.

Truth in a kiss

Chapter 1

'How can he keep going back to her, even when she tries to drag him to hell with her... and even when she tried to kill me he still goes after her.' For the hundredth time it seemed, Kagome hid in the bushes while watching InuYasha and Kikyo embrace one another and share a passionate kiss under the full moon. For the hundredth time Kagome's heart shattered into jagged pieces, cutting her up inside. For the millionth time to realize the he would never be hers.

Kagome brought her hand up to her neck and grasped the violet sphere that hung around her. Naraku had finally been defeated; the jewel was whole once again. Miroku no longer had the whole in his right hand; Sango had her revenge and got her brother back who was being nursed back to health in Kaede's hut. And InuYasha... InuYasha could finally be with the woman he's loved for fifty years. Everyone seemed to be so happy... that is except for Kagome.

'I should be happy for him shouldn't I? I mean, he has avenged Kikyo's death, and he can now, he has K-Kikyo now...' Kagome could barely stand saying her name. Kagome had her head down, her bangs shielding her eyes from the scene before her. When she looked up she saw that Kikyo left InuYasha's arms and focused her eyes in Kagome's direction. "Are you enjoying our little meeting Kagome?" Kikyo called in a cold dead tone. Her eyes had no emotion in them, as usual.

'No! Why couldn't I have just turned and walked away, now I'm going to have to face... him.' Kagome got to her feet and walked towards them with her head down, her eyes hidden behind her bangs. She knew what she had to do, and she knew it would hurt her dearly, but she wanted for him to be happy, even if she wasn't in the picture. She stopped in front of him, and brought her head up to meet his gaze. She had forced the tears from her eyes, she couldn't let anything stop her from what she was about to do.

'Kagome...' InuYasha could only stare as she walked towards him. He knew she was watching, he new he hurt her again. He wanted to comfort her so badly, but knew he couldn't. How could he choose between the two women he loved dearly? His thoughts were interrupted when Kagome took his hand and put something round and hard in it. She moved back a step, when InuYasha opened his hand he saw the Shikon no Tama. InuYasha looked up at Kagome with a confused look. She gave a weak smile before explaining. "It's yours InuYasha. I'm giving it to you. I want you to be happy." InuYasha still had a confused look on his face before Kagome continued. "I want you to wish yourself and Kikyo to be human and to be together."

InuYasha couldn't believe what he was hearing, Kagome was giving him the jewel, telling him to use it to be with Kikyo, the one person, other than Naraku, that Kagome absolutely hated. His eyes softened while he gazed upon her face, they were stilled filled with confusion.

Kagome saw the confusion in his eyes, but there was a hint of something within them, though she didn't know what it was. It looked almost like... caring? No way, it was just some schoolgirl wish. He could never love her. How could he ever love a girl like herself, she was only a reincarnation, a damn shard detector. These thoughts didn't help her much, thinking this only made it harder to keep back the unshed tears, and do what she had to do.

There was only one thing left to do. She walked up to him, holding his gaze. She went onto her tip toes and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips, it was a chaste kiss but with full of meaning, the feelings she had for him. When she pulled back she looked into his eyes. "I want you to be happy, that's all I have ever wanted, even if I'm not the one making you happy. Just remember I will always love you, InuYasha. If you become human, I will still love you. Human, Hanyou, transformed, it doesn't matter, it's still you."

With that she turned and walked into the forest...
