Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or any of his characters. They all belong to Takahashi. This is just an interesting twist in the story that I made.

I have indeed seen InuYasha The Final Act, I just wanted to make an interesting plot. This takes place three years after episode 1.

This is not for Kikyo fans. Don't say I didn't warn ya!

The Sacrifices That We All Make.

The words I regret

Kagome

"Sit boy!" I yelled.

"Argh!" InuYasha once again was kissing the dirt for insulting me again. "What the hell did you do that for, Kagome? That hur-"

"Sit!" I demanded.

He glared up at me through the ground and growled at me. "You are gonna get it. Do ya here me, woman!"

I could here Miroku, Sango, and Shippo trying to stifle their laughs while watching this little event unfold. "How did I know that InuYasha was going to end up face first in the ground?" Miroku said with no sympathy.

"I knew there was going to be a problem as soon as Kagome started cooking." Sango said while her feline companion Kilala meowed in response.

"Awe man, Kagome really looks scary when she's angry." Shippo said, hiding behind Miroku.

"Hmph!" I turned my back from him and started to walk away.

"Hey! Where are you going!" He demanded. I ignored him and his curses as I continued to walk away.

By the time I reached a nearby clearing, I couldn't help it, "Why that stupid, ignorant, selfish, rude, idiotic….grrr!" I can't believe that I wasted my time again on making food for InuYasha and everyone, when all I get is being nagged at for not bringing ramen. I swear! If ramen could move and talk, InuYasha would marry the stuff. Ugh! Well…that's InuYasha for ya. Oh well.

"Kagome!" Yelled an angry voice I knew all too well. Now what? I grimaced as I heard him come closer and closer towards me. "We are not finished!"

I turned around to look at him and countered, "Oh I think we are, mister 'I only eat ramen and your cooking sucks!'"

"Hey it's not my fault that I don't like your cooking. You just need to make better tasting stuff. All that other junk you were making was just gross!" He explained.

I wouldn't be surprised if steam was coming out of my ears. I was furious. "What I make is what you get. Deal with it!" I flared back.

He huffed and crossed him arms. "Geez, woman, what is with you and this stuff? Kikyo never made such a fuss about this stuff. She just stayed calm and wouldn't even bother making me stuff. Why can't you be more like her? You don't know how to use your powers correctly, you stink at battles, and I constantly have to save your behind from being kidnapped. The only thing you can do right is sense jewel shards. Kikyo can do so much more. She never has to deal with…that…stuff…" Either he saw the look on my face or he actually listened to his own words, because he looked worried.

InuYasha

Oh no! What did I just say? Did I actually call Kagome weak and compare her to Kikyo? No! I didn't…did I? I must have. Her face was downward, her bangs were covering her eyes, her fists were clenched, and her body was trembling.

I reached a hand out toward her, "Kagome…I-" she swatted my hand away…and finally looked up at me.

Her beautiful brown eyes were filled with pain, remorse, hatred, rage…and tears. She cleared her throat before saying, "Then maybe I shouldn't be here. It's not like I'm needed here anyway from what you say. You're right, Kikyo is a lot stronger than I am. More reliable too. She can control her powers, sense jewel shards, and even prevent herself from being kidnapped. She is perfect, maybe she should be with the group, and I should return home…for good."

I was reading her face while listening to her painful words. She couldn't leave! She promised that she would stay by my side. And…I…I need her here. With me. I don't want her to leave. To leave Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Kaede and…me. I can't imagine my life without her somewhere in it. Why the hell did I say those things? I didn't mean a word of it! Please, Kagome! Don't leave me. Stay…stay here with me. I don't want you away from my side. You mean more than anyone to me. I…I…lo-. My thoughts were interrupted when she turned away from me and started to run. No! "Kagome, wait!" I reached out another hand to her, but I didn't follow.

"I have to tell you…how I feel." I need to tell her! But I'll wait. When she comes back I'll tell her. I will tell her how I feel. I love you, Kagome. Just wait a little longer and then I'll tell you when we are alone. I will not let her go until she hears every last word. I will make sure that she will know how I feel before the week is out.
