Kagome sighed. It's now or never. She thought. The small fire in front of her crackled. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo had fallen asleep a while ago. "Inuyasha?" she whispered. Inuyasha's dog-ears twitched and his amber eyes opened slowly. "What is it, Kagome?" he yawned. "I have something to tell you. Something I've been meaning to tell you." Inuyasha blinked. "What is it, Kagome?" Kagome took a deep breath and said, "Inuyasha, I love you." Inuyasha was silent. Kagome felt her tears begin to fall. Does he not feel the same way? She thought. Maybe I shouldn't have told him feelings. "Kagome," Inuyasha said, "I'm sorry, I can't return your feelings. I love Kikyo and.." Inuyasha never finished what he was saying. Kagome stood up abruptly and shook her head, tears flowing freely down her cheeks, a pained look in her eyes. She turned around and began to run towards the Bone Eater's Well. "INUYASHA!" Sango, Miroku, and Shippo yelled in unison. They had had been listening for the last few minutes, so they'd heard everything.

"How could you?"

"You're so stupid!"

"Can't you even accept that she loves you?!"

Inuyasha's expression said it all: he'd lied to Kagome. And Miroku could read Inuyasha's expression like an open book. "YOU LIED TO HER?! ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT?! THAT IS UNFORGIVABLE, INUYASHA!" Miroku yelled.

"How could you choose that walking clay pot over Kagome?"

Shippo asked. Normally, Inuyasha would've hit the Kitsune over the head for a comment like that, but the guilt of lying to Kagome and hurting her so much set in on him and he could not speak. Sango shook her head and said," What I want to know, Inuyasha, is why?" Shippo and Miroku looked at the dazed hanyou. "Yes," Miroku said , "Why did you lie to Kagome like that?"

"Well, I-"

"After she confessed her love to you?"

"I-"

"How can you just-" Sango cut Miroku off and yelled, "AFTER EVERYTHING YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH TOGETHER, YOU WERE PREPARED TO LIE RIGHT TO HER FACE?!" she was completely disgusted by what Inuyasha had done. Inuyasha didn't speak or look at them. He was too ashamed of what he'd done. "Well, what do have to say for yourself?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha still didn't respond. "You are a heartless bastard, Inuyasha." Sango said coldly. Shippo and Miroku nodded. Miroku stood up. "If you ever get a heart, come find us." he said helping Sango up. Shippo rolled his eyes. "I doubt that will happen." he said jumping on to Miroku's shoulder as he walked away. Once he was at a safe distance, Shippo stuck his tongue out at Inuyasha. Inuyasha didn't even notice the teasing gesture from Shippo. He was just standing there feeling more alone then ever.

Kagome threw herself down on her bed. I should've known this would happen. Why did I even trust him? she thought. She sighed. He may not love me, but whatever makes him happy, I'll live with it.

Inuyasha sighed. I don't really want to be with Kikyo, but Kagome hates me and Miroku, Sango and Shippo won't talk to me. Inuyasha sighed. I just don't know what to do. He thought. I think I'll try to talk to Kagome. Inuyasha stood up and jumped to the Boneater's well. Inuyasha jumped out of the well in Kagome's time. He jumped on to the roof then into Kagome's room."Inuyasha, what do you want?" she asked bitterly. "Kagome, I'm sorry." Kagome turned away. Inuyasha decided it was not worth fighting with Kagome. He turned to the window and started to leave,but before he did he said, "Aishiteru, Kagome." Huh? Did Inuyasha just say that he loves me? "Inuyasha!" Kagome called. But he was already gone.
