Betrayed

Chapter 1

How could Inuyasha do this to me. After all that I sacrificed on his behalf, school, friends, and even my family. How could you Inuyasha!

"Kogome-san are you alright?" Songo asked.

"I'm fine Songo, just thinking, you know about what happened"

Songo looked at Kogome with a worried frown. "Are you talking about what Inuyasha did to you today Kogome?"

Kogome flinched at remembrance of the horrible way Inuyasha spurned on her with malicious intent of lowering her self esteem.

"How useless you are Kogome!" Inuyasha shouted. "Can't you do anything right, look at what happened to Kikyo because of your bloody selfishness"

Kogome blanched at Inuyasha's crude remarks "But Inuyasha I was trying to help you, it was either you or Kikyo that would have gotten hurt by the demon, and I didn't have enough time as you very well know, so why are you reacting this way?"

Inuyasha sneered "It wasn't because of that and you know it. Its because you hate Kikyo, you hate her because I used to, no wait because I do love her, more than I'll ever love you. Bloody reincarnation, you're just a fake stone for a real diamond, a cheap imitation."

You're just a fake…a fake…fake. It was all Kogome could think about. How dare he, that bloody half breed, he's the cheap imitation not me.

Songo saw that Kogome was about to fall into tears so she steered her away from the camp where only Kogome and herself stayed because she didn't want to be any where near Inuyasha right now.

I would have given him so many sit commands, that it isn't even remotely funny, curse that damn Inuyasha, thought Songo.

"Inuyasha it want really nice of you to say those things to Kogome" Miroku said, watching the receding backsof Kogome and Songo.

"Yes it was Miroku, as you know. Kikyo needs to think that I despise Kogome or else it won't work" Inyasha growled

Miroku sighed. "Yes I do know that Inuyasha"

"Then why pester me about the situation when you know where we stand" Inuyasha said.

"Because I think that you should at least tell the girls about it, so eventually when they find out, it won't blow up in our faces. You know how they get when left out on decisions made within the group" mumbled Miroku. "Do you even know how much you hurt Kogome today with what you said"

Inuyasha snapped. "Of course I know….damnit all Miroku, I know, you know I would never intentionally hurt Kogome the way I did, I love her with all my heart, but I would not put her in danger, nor will you put Songo in danger, so just keep your mouth shut OK. Its for their own good Miroku"

Miroku sighed "Alright Inuyasha we'll play it your way, but when they do find out, I have nothing to do with it"

Inuyasha laughes "Whatever. You're such a punk Miroku."

The girls were on their way back from the hot spring when they heard Inuyasha laughing.

Oooh so he can have fun while I feel so betrayed. He could laugh like that like if nothing happened. Well two can play at that game, thought Kogome. I'll show him, I'll show him that I can be better that my friends can rely on me…but where shall I go to learn the teachings of a powerful priestess. I remember now, there is this powerfull priestess that I heard about from mom, named Ise Okayama, she is the head of the Temple of Myoshinji in Kyoto, maybe if I go there she will take my on as her apprentice. But that means that I won't be here to help them out with the jewel shards. Inuyasha doesn't need my help anyway so I'll sneak off tonight, the village is not far away so I'll ask Kirara to help me. Yes I'll do it!

"Kogome!"

Kogome came out of her trance with a start and looked at Miroku. "Yes Miroku, I'm sorry I was just thinking. What did you say?"

"I said that maybe it will be best if you talk to Inuyasha about what happened today"

"What!" Kogome screamed. "Are you out of your mind. I won't talk to that jerk if my life depended on it, hell will freeze over before I even begin to contemplate talking to him. The damn half breed, mutt face, ass hole!"

All their faces turned towards were with shock, all except Inuyasha who looked as if she just slapped him on the face.

"What!" Kogome yelled. "I'm goning for a walk, Kirara will you come with me please so I can go somewhere else to think, somewhere I'm wanted.humph"

Kogome stomps of into the dense forest followed by Kirara.

"A a a a half breed, mutt face, ass hole" Inuyasha muttered "I can't believe she said that"

Songo humphed. "Well you deserve it Inuyasha, the way you treated her today was worse and you know it"

"B b but"

"No buts Inuyasha, Songo is right. You were mean to Kogome today" said Shippo, wanting to get his word in also.

"Kirara I need your help" whispered Kogome. "I need you to take me back to the bone eaters' well pleaseeeeee, I'm begging you"

So into the distance Kogome went, with out a slight thought for Inuyasha, but a few for her remaining friends.

Songo, Miroku, and Shippo, I'll be back I promise, and I'll be able to help you this time, not stand around being useless. I'll become more powerful so you guys could depend on me. Kogome thought as she looked at the camp fire fade away before her eyes.
