Disclaimer: I wish I owned Inuyasha (well actually I only want
Sesshomaru!); but alas, this story is the only thing that is mine.

Chapter 1: Everything's in the open
"Inuyasha I'm so fucking tired of your selfishness!" Kagome rarely lost her temper, so hearing her language was Sango and Miroku's cue to leave Inuyasha to her mercy. Inuyasha's "Feh" only enticed Kagome's anger more. He enjoyed this opportunity to be frank with Kagome, and saw her language as an invitation for an equally harsh response.
"You are the selfish one, bitch! You are the one pushing us to find Naraku; and yet, you run home every chance you get!" This made Kagome boil with rage. 'Inuyasha was the one who wanted more Ramen; Inuyasha used up the most of her bandages; and Inuyasha was the one who hungered for the Shikon No Tama.'
"Do you want more Ramen or not? I'm tired of explaining everything to you. You have no claim on me, so stop being so protective. I won't die the minute I leave your side!!" Kagome was seething, but her anger was nothing compared to what she felt after Inuyasha's next comment.
"I know you won't, and perhaps I'm being silly. I just thought that perhaps because Kikyo liked." He never got to finish his statement, and one look at Kagome told him that he had gone too far. As tears started to stream from her already angered eyes, Kagome couldn't contain her pain any longer.
"I am not Kikyo, and I don't want to be. You have more love for her hateful, undead eyes then you will ever have for me. Every night you leave to enjoy her embrace. Don't you realize that I care for you, and that seeing you leave cleaves my heart in two?" Kagome didn't mean to be so honest. But speaking her thoughts seemed to relieve a long held burden. Inuyasha had long since chosen Kikyo over Kagome, and found this the perfect opportunity to tell her.
"Kikyo's hateful, undead eyes." Inuyasha found pleasure in turning her words against her, ".are more precious to me then you ever will be!" These words hurt Kagome deeply, but the pain didn't flash across her eyes for more then a second. However that second was enough to tell Inuyasha that he had made a mistake. Kagome hardened her heart against anything that Inuyasha said after that.
Sesshomaru had watched the whole thing from afar. He had planned to present Kagome with at proposition; however, he stopped at a safe distance when he heard raised voices. He was intrigued by this conversation; all his previous experiences with Kagome and Inuyasha showed him that they were practically mated. What had made his half brother choose another was beyond him. However this played perfectly into his plans. Masking is aura so that Inuyasha and the miko could not sense him, the demon lord moved closer to the camp. As he suspected, Kagome packed her things and departed from her friends within a few hours. Inwardly he grinned, this was going to be easier then he originally suspected.
Thanks everyone for reading this fic. I hope you enjoyed it. Regardless I only ask you to review and tell me how I might improve the story. As a generally rule I'll try to update every couple of days. However, the semester starts Monday, and I do not know how bad my work load will be.
