The two of them had just had another screaming fight. Kagome looked at Inuyasha with her big brown eyes, and just pretended to go to sleep. Inuyasha began to snore, lightly, that's how she knew he was asleep "Finally, he takes forever to get to sleep." Kagome stood up and walked out of the hut they happened to be staying in. She began to walk through the woods, when Inuyasha began to stir about. "Kagome? where are you?" he stands up and runs out the door, inadvertently waking Sango and Kirara up. " I wonder what that was all about?" Kirara looks at Sango, tilts her head and meows.
Kagomes POV
I walked off alone. I had to get away. Inuyasha and I have been fighting so much lately and I don't understand why. doesn't he realize what he is doing to me?? I love him... No I can't love him, I won't, he and Kikyo will get back together,... I just know he will choose her... What am I talking about, he never cared about me to begin with, so why do I keep coming here. All I am to him is a jewel shard detector, and a cook. I can't fall for this guy, I just cant... I don't stand a chance at all. I need to go home, and think about this... I cant bare seeing him go to her one more time. But I need to talk to Sango first, she is my best friend and can give me some advice on what I should do. I heard a stick break behind me, someone was coming... but who... It was Inuyasha of course... I turned around, I had started to cry while thinking about him and Kikyo, and me. I wont turn around and face him... those beautiful eyes make my heart melt...come on girl stop crying... I tried to choke back the tears. " Kagome?"... just hearing his voice made me want to sob.
Inuyashas POV
Why did she just leave, I mean I know we have been fighting... but its dangerous...Why did she wait until I was asleep to take off, at least when I am awake I can protect her... Why wont she look at me, what did I do? I can sense that she is really upset, and what is that her scent is laced with...salt water... no not salt water, Kagomes tears. She is crying. Why, why is she crying, did I hurt her that bad? I never meant to do that... " Kagome, why did you leave the hut?"... ask her if she is okay you dummy... ASK HER! No, I told myself... I will not ask her... she will never know. I could hear her, she was trying to stop herself from crying. " I came out here to think... a lot happened today... and I had to think about it" I looked at the back of her hair wishing I could see her face... " why couldn't you think back at the hut, at least you would be safe there. Err...umm... I mean... I wouldn't have to chase after you there" she tilted her head, please turn around and look at me Kagome, please!... I beg you. she turned to face me... her big beautiful eyes were full of pain and sorrow.. Seeing her like this, it hurt me, in ways I never knew I could hurt. But what does this mean... I belong to Kikyo... but I long to be with Kagome, with her I am always happy... just seeing her face... but Kikyo, she died for me... I owe her my life... but Kagome has my heart.. I think, no she cant... I belong to Kikyo... my heart beeps in, you owe nothing to that cold woman... this girl in front of you is your life... and if your not careful you will loose her forever... I didn't want to listen but I knew it was right... "Inuyasha?" her voice seemed so tiny and sad... she looked away. "what?" she looked back at me with that fake smile. It weirded me out sometimes... " oh nothing, lets head back to the village." I didn't want to upset Kagome more than I apparently had, so I just followed her to the hut... When we got there Sango and Miroku were both awake. The kid, who hated me mind you, was still asleep. Kagome looked at Sango, then Sango looked at me and gave me a death glare... I jumped back. " Sango, lets go talk outside, please?" Sango replied " yeah, sure of course I will, if you two spy on us, I swear there will be hell to pay! Come on Kirara." they followed Kagome out of the hut... I was left with Miroku. He just looked at me and shook his head.
Kagomes POV
I pulled Sango out because I really did need to talk to her... we walked a ways away from the village, and sat down by the river. It was a gorgeous night, but I was so sad, and confused. " Kagome, what did he do this time?" I looked at her and contemplated my reply... " umm, I just wanted to be alone... to think about what I was going to do." she looked confused. "Kagome what are you talking about?" "me and Inuyasha have been fighting a lot lately, and honestly, I cant take seeing him run off to her one more time... do you know how much that hurts me? I try so hard not to care for him... But its impossible" "wait Kagome what are you trying to say, are you contemplating going home?" I looked at her and tilted my head, she had read my mind. "I think I should... not forever... just for a few, either that or I fear I will do something stupid." ... again she looked confused and sad... "Kagome, I know you are doing what you think is best, but do you have to leave?" I looked at her and smiled "I wont be gone long, I promise, maybe Inuyasha will come and get me, ha! I doubt it! The moment I leave he will go find Kikyo!" Sango looked confused at this point, "can you go get my stuff Sango, I don't want to see him again before I go back" "your going back tonight?" "yeah I figure the sooner, the better, I can heal faster" "yeah sure, I will go get your stuff... and I promise I will be right back. Kirara stay with Kagome." I watched Sango walk away, clenching her fists, she was pissed...at Inuyasha. And I hope she wont hurt him too bad, but I do need to leave so I can begin to heal... and maybe get over him!
Inuyasha POV
We were sitting in comfortable silence. I could feel his disappointment though, I heard something coming... not something, someone, and she was getting closer, it could be none other than... Sango! I sensed her anger. Kagome wasn't with her... "INUYASHA!" I jumped up, I was alarmed, I had never heard that tone in her voice. It sounded like she was getting ready to kill me. "I should really hurt you this time!! I really should.! But I wont, Kagome will be furious if I do." Sango was grabbing Kagomes things and putting them in her yellow sack, OH NO!... what had happened. Miroku looked at Sango. "Sango my dear, what is going on?" Sango looked at me, and then began to speak. "well Inuyasha, it seems you have hurt her for the last time... she cant stand the fact that you always run to Kikyo... you know how Kagome feels about you, GOD! And now she is going to leave and wont return... not for a long time!" "what, she's leaving because of me?" oh know I cant loose her I just... I cant... I really messed up... why do I have to be so stupid, I take her for granted so much!. "you stay here Inuyasha, I have to go back to Kagome, she's leaving tonight... if you want her to come back then you will have to go to her world and talk to her.." Sango looked back at me. I smelled something sickening, it was blood... not just any blood... but... Kagomes blood, oh no! I bolted past Sango. "Kagome!" please be okay! please be okay!, please! It took all of three minutes to find her, she was leaning against a rock, and Kirara was no where in sight. Wait there she is, fighting... Kagura. Kagome was drenched in blood. I picked her up, ever so gently. "Kagome are you okay?" she opened her eyes. "yeah...Inu...Inuyasha...I...I...am fine." I looked up at Kagura. "I will get you for this you stupid bitch! You will pay!" she looked down at me, and smirked. "that mortal will die, Kanna has seen that in her mirror, which never lies... and when Kagome dies, you will no longer be a threat to me!" I was stunned, I looked at Kagome, then back at Kagura, I started running, I had to get her to Kaeda... I ran to her hut. "Kaeda Kagome is injured, please help her!" she ushered me into her hut. "ye must wait out here" she pushed me out after I set Kagome down very gently... I was waiting outside when Sango, Miroku, and Shippou showed up. Sango ran inside. I was dieing to know if Kagome was okay. "Inuyasha what happened?" "yeah what'd you do you jerk?" I looked at Shippou who hid behind Miroku. "she was injured by Kagura when she was waiting for Sango to return... Kirara tried to help, and Miroku... Kagura said... she said that... that Kagome would die, and that I would no longer be a threat... I didn't stay to fight her, I ran straight here... and I guess after I left Kirara came to get you guys" I smiled at the poor cat... she fought so hard and yet... "oh no, Kagome. Inuyasha she will be okay..." Miroku was trying to make me feel better. The only thing that helped was hearing Kagomes small voice. "Inu...Inuyasha...where is...he" I heard her voice she was okay. "ye shall not sit up, ye will hurt ye wombs. Ye are not yet strong enough to move." Sango came out of the hut. "Inuyasha go in, but I swear to the gods, if you hurt her... I will murder you." I looked at her as she brushed past me. I shuddered at the thought, she was serious, I entered the hut, and walked to Kagome. "I think ye shall take her back to her own time. She would heal faster there, ye understand? But ye must be very careful with young Kagome." "I understand I will be gentle, and I wont let anything happen to her." I gently picked her up... she was conscious. That was good, I cant loose her... I wont.. "Inu...yasha... I am sorry... I got hurt... and I was being so...mean...to you... I didn't mean any of it" I looked at her, she was worried about me, she had almost died, and was worried about me... "don't talk like that...and you did nothing wrong...I was a jerk... and I am sorry... just please don't leave me" I jumped in the well...holding her tightly. Once on the other side I ran to her mom, who was working in the garden. "Mrs. Higurashi! Kagome was hurt, badly!" "Inuyasha dear get her in the car, we have to take her to the hospital"
