The Hanyou's Betrayal and Kagome's Broken Heart:

Kagome ran, ran faster than she ever had before. She didn't know how she had gotten to the forest, but knew how to get back to camp.

Raven tresses flying behind her, she burst through the door, tears threatening to fall. But she wouldn't let them. Not yet, anyway.

"Kagome!" cried Shippo, who hopped up onto her shoulder as soon as she came into view. "Where have you been? We've been looking all over for you!"

"I...I guess I wanted to go for a walk," she lied, collapsing on into Sango's outstretched arms.

"Is something wrong, Kagome?" she asked, eyes shining with concern.

"Y-yes..." Kagome's voice cracked. "I-Inuyasha, a-and Kikyo, they were.." she started to sob hysterically. "Together."

"Oh, Kagome. I'm so sorry. What a baka he is!"

"Sango, I don't think I can forgive him anymore, I've been cut too deep this time. Anyway, he has Kikyo, she can help him find the Sacred Jewel shards." she flung her arms around her and sobbed into the crook of her friend's neck.

"Thank-you for always being there for me, I wouldn't have been able to stand life without you. You're practically a sister to me."

"No, thank-you. You helped me with my brother, took care of me, if it weren't for you, I never would have had a chance to get Kohaku back, or meet Miroku." they embraced each other.

"We have to stick together, Kagome. That's what sisters do. They look out for one another."

"I don't understand. She's dead, and has tried to hurt him numerous times, yet he still loves her."

"The heart wants what it wants, Kagome." replied Kaede, brewing some tea on her wooden stove.

"I guess, but why is it that things work out for everyone except me? He wants her, and he gets her, but I want him, and I don't get him."

"Kagome, you can do so much better. I can't stand to see you hurt, but I don't want to lose you. Can't you just leave Inuyasha and remain friends with us?" asked Sango hopefully.

"Yeah, please Kagome? I don't want to lose another momma." whimpered Shippo, a pleading look in his eyes.

Kagome sat down on the ground and rested her head against the wall. "I guess, but for right now, I'm going home. Where's Miroku?"

"He's recovering slowly. If he lives overnight, he'll be fine, but his breathing is quite shallow." said Kaede,

"I'm so scared for him," whispered Sango, tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry Sango, he loves you too much to leave you."

"Thanks, but right now our main priority isn't reassuring me, it's getting you home. The longer you stay here, the sadder you'll get,"

"I know," Kagome stood and headed to the door of the hut. "Just promise me one thing," she said, hovering near the exit.

"What?" responded Sango.

"Take care of Inuyasha." she whispered.

Sango nodded solemnly. "I will."


A/N: Notice how though Kagome knows she can't stay with Inuyasha anymore, she still loves him and wants him to be safe. That's so beautiful how she doesn't care about herself, only about others. Anyway, please review!
