A/N: Hey this is my first ficcie on FF.net. This story is going to be very angsty and hopefully some citrus will emerge in later chapter. This is a reply to my own challenge on my website.

Kagome sat upon a hill over looking the river, they had stopped since early evening because Kikyo had showed up to "talk". As she gazed at the reflection of the waning moon in the calm water she let her thoughts drift to what Inu-Yasha had said, or rather yelled at her earlier.

~Flashback~

"Useless wench!" Inu-Yasha yelled. As Kagome quickly tried to gather the arrow she had let slip to the ground before she could notch it. Just then something whizzed past her head and embedded itself in the demon they were fighting, light seeped forth from the wound and the demon let out an ungodly screech as it was demolished by the holy magic that the arrow contained. Kagome then watched as if frozen as Kikyo floated to the ground and retrieved the Shikon Shard, which was embedded in the demon's remains. Inu-Yasha just stood there staring at the undead miko. Suddenly as if drawn out of a dream he turned his eyes on Kagome harshly.

"Can't you do anything right? You useless bitch. I wish you were more like Kikyo."

~Flashback~

'Useless.that's all I'll ever be to anybody. I might as well give my soul back to Kikyo, then at least somebody will be happy. Everything bad that happens is my fault anyway it would be better if I were gone. I broke the Shikon No Tama, I made Inu-Yasha get hurt when he was vulnerable, if it weren't for me Sango-chan's family might still be alive.everything that goes wrong is always a consequence to my decisions or actions. It would be better for everyone if I just died. Even my family would be better off without me. I bet that if I died nobody would even notice until about a week later. Would they even notice then? Inu-Yasha probably wouldn't even care, he would probably be happy that a useless wench like me were gone then he could get his precious Kikyo to take my place.'

Kagome thought as she watched Inu-Yasha take Kikyo's hand in his gently as he looked upon her with love and sorrow.

'For some reason I no longer scorn Kikyo, I understand now. I am just her replacement until this quest is over then, then I go back to my meaningless life in the future. Until then I'll play happy little Kagome.until then.I'll suffer.'

Kikyo finally made away on her soul-stealing demons as Inu-Yasha walked towards his forest. Sango-chan and Miroku-sama took Shippou-chan with them back to the Kaede-baba's village, when she had told them she wished to stay behind they had looked at her with concern filled eyes yet she put up her cheerful façade and told them she wish to be alone to think and the grassy knoll seemed inviting. They had looked back worriedly as Miroku had told her it was too dangerous by herself and that if she wished he would stay and accompany her. But she quickly dismissed them saying she was close enough to the village to scream if she needed help. They finally conceded and made their way to the village.

A/n: Aww poor Kagome. Well review and tell me what you think. Sorry the chapter is so short but more will come soon.
