Here's the next chapter! Review, please??
Kikyou?
A stunned Kagome Higurashi mouthed soundlessly as her best friend and long time crush continued to look at her with the most beseeching eyes she had ever seen.
"I..Inu chan?" She finally stammered, blushing fuschia as his hold on her hand tightened.
"Kagome.." He whispered. "I need you, I've always… damn it Kagome! You know how I feel!!"
Kagome began to cry softly. She could hardly speak for happiness. Inuyasha loved her!! He wanted her. He needed her and he wanted to marry her!
Kagome had been in love with Inuyasha for what seemed like ever. The grumpy little silvery white haired hanyou who had declared that he found her to be an idiotic little wench who couldn't take care of herself after helping her out of the muddy pond she had fallen into on her 9th birthday. The smirking teenager who just couldn't make friends by himself. The tall handsome hanyou in his favourite fire rat haori who stood in front of her. It seemed to Kagome that the world was right. Just for once, everything was perfect.
"You need to marry me, Kagome." Inuyasha was saying frantically. "You're the only one…."
"The only one?" Kagome repeated, a beautific smile spreading over her face. "Oh! Inuyasha! I .."
" who understands that I love Kikyou." Inuyasha cut through her little rapturous outburst with one of his own.
The smile on Kagome's face froze as Inuyasha ploughed on desperately.
"I love Kikyou, Kagome! You know I do. But just coz she's a human, father won't let me mate her."
Kagome clenched her hands silently as the words slowly began to sink into her.
Odd phrases and words washed over her.
(A/N—EVERYTHING IN BOLD STARTING FROM HERE will refer to INUYASHA'S WORDS)
"You understand, don't you?"
"Kikyou says she'll..well, she hasn't said anything, exactly. But I just know she loves me."
"I need some time to get her to agree, you know? And I need to stop that bastard Onigumo from sniffing round her anyway."
"But dad wants me married, if not mated, right away"
"Kikyou.."
"You and I could pull it off"
"I figured, when we're married..Not mated, of course, I can't mate you…I could get Kikyou here."
"She could live with us "
"And then, when she sees how great all this is, she'll mate with me"
"And then we can, you know, part ways."
"I'll tell father we couldn't work things out and that you wanna mate with someone else anyway."
"He'll grouch for a while. But then he'll probably be all sympathetic towards me and he'll let me mate Kikyou. I figured, if he does, Kikyou and I can just continue to live here, you know?"
"I think Kikyou'd like to be a miko too. So if you could just give her some of your powers, that'd be great, yeah?"
"And then, maybe, our heir'd be a Higurashi too. And its not like you're gonna mate with anyone. So that'd solve all our problems, right? You don't need to mate and have a kid. Kikyou and I'll take care of that."
"Its only coz of some goddamned jewel that father thinks you're better anyway.Kikyou's really beautiful. And she's ..she's just great, you know? She's perfect for me."
"Inuyasha.."
"And she's really strong, you know?"
"Inuyasha………."
"She's a great archer too, you know? Maybe better than you…"
"Inuyasha!!!"
The hanyou looked rather perplexed. He had hardly ever heard Kagome sound so furious, so desperate, so….unhappy..why was she crying?
(A/N THE BOLD MARKINGS END HERE)
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Kagome whispered.
"You want me to give up my right as a Higurashi. You assume I won't mate with anyone just because I haven't found the person I'm looking for and you have the audacity to think I'll allow a child who is not a true Higurashi to claim my place?"
Inuyasha's eyes were narrowing now.
He began to snarl when Kagome cut through it with a vicious snarl of her own.
"How dare you think I'd betray my people like that?"
Inuyasha snarled now.
"You selfish fucking bitch!" He shouted. "I can't believe you're that selfish!"
"Selfish?" Kagome cried.
"Me? Have you looked in the mirror today, Inuayasha? The only selfish bastard in this place is you! I'd never ask you to betray your people so I could be unfaithful! I'd never ask you to sacrifice yourself! I'd never ask you to .."
She crumpled to the floor as tears wrecked her body.
"Go away, Inuyasha." She sobbed. "I never want to see you again."
The fuming hanyou leaned over her form and grabbed hold of her wrist.
"Listen here, you bitch! I'll… Bloody hell!!"
He gasped as Kagome's miko barrier threw him away with all the force of a raging berserk bull youkai.
Kagome couldn't bring herself to so much as look at Inuyasha's form. With a last broken sob, she fled; her long hair flaming behind her as she ran to her rooms.
