Hey! After a mightily long absence from writing Inuyasha fanfictions, I am back… with a vengeance:p I hope you enjoy what I'd written! I don't know if I've gotten the feeling of the story right though… -worries- Please let me know what you think.

Endless Nights

Chapter 3: Revisions

Previously on Endless Nights…

"Kagome! Listen to me! I need to talk to you!" Inuyasha said, blocking her way out of her room.

"Just leave me alone, Inuyasha! I don't want to talk to you! Stay away!" Kagome struggled against Inuyasha, but he pinned her to the door, "Listen to me, Kagome! It wasn't my fault that you had to go and do that!" "Do what? Love you?" Kagome laughed bitterly, "So I get—" Inuyasha growled, "Shut up! They're listening at the door."

Kagome paled after Inuyasha said that. She knew she needed to talk to him after what he did to her… but… she just couldn't face him. And now that he was right in front of her, she literally couldn't. Calmly, she asked her family to leave the door, "I need to speak with Inuyasha… in private." Souta was about to protest when Pricilla took him downstairs.

Inuyasha gazed down at Kagome. Oh how he wish that had never happened. Pain constricted his chest as his eyes caught Kagome's… he flinched and looked away. 'Pathetic…'

"I don't…" Kagome's voice trailed off as tears began for form in her eyes, "Please… tell me why… why…" She whimpered slightly as Inuyasha trapped her against the wall, his face a mere inches from hers. A low growl rumbled deep within his chest as he could feel the fear radiating off of her body in waves.

'She fears me… why is this?' Flashes of what he had done cut his growl short. 'DAMN IT!'

"Inuyasha! Hurry up! I wanna go home already!" The young raven-haired girl sighed exasperated, "You slow poke! Hurry it up!"

"Shut it woman! I'll come down when I'm-"

"Sit boy!"

With a curse the boy landed with a loud THUD on the ground, "Friggin' hell, bitch! What'd you do that for?"

Suddenly, he jumped backed up against the Goshinboku tree, cowering in fear, "Umm… I mean… Kagome! Thank you! Let's get going now!" Kagome smiled slightly and chuckled lightly to herself. Sitting always gets him.

. . . L A T E R . . .

Kagome cried and held herself against the assault of the storm. Damn him… how could she have been so stupid… she had gone innocently and fallen into the trap… She would never forget this and forgive… she just couldn't…

Little did she know a figure watched her from the distance, "Kagome…" it whispered. A flash of red and then darkness.

(AN: Sorry 'bout this… but I'm going to be bouncing around during present tense, and past tense and the times in-between… since I really don't know how I'm going to extend this fic and make it as long as I intend to. Any ideas?)

Kagome flinched as she fell. He could hear something crack as she went down. Memories came to her… NO… she would not remember. Quickly, she looked behind and ahead of her. 'Maybe… I might just be able to pull this off…'

Slowly, she pulled herself onto her feet, her ankle screaming at her to stop. But she wouldn't… only through pain could she forget. Every night when she came home she'd be so exhausted; so exhausted that when she slept, she was dream free. Every time she'd start to remember, she'd pile more work onto her schedule. It worked… for a little while. But she soon adjusted to the work, and soon had to pile more on just to not see his face in her mind's eye… or smell the masculinity that had once brought her to the Feudal Era… again and again.

Why does she do this? Why do this to herself at all when she, quite apparently, can't live without him. Because he had done something to her that she couldn't forgive. She wasn't going to run into his arms and say that she forgave him… because, even though she wanted to, she knew that she shouldn't. And, therefore, she didn't.

Each step she took made her vision turn black on the edges. 'Just a little bit farther…' Cheers rocketed the stadium as Kagome crossed the finish line, first yet again. Quietly, she looked blandly upward, feeling no emotion what-so-ever. She used to be happy… winning used to be enough to forget…

Alrighty then… that was kinda short… and not that well written… but I still have to get the feeling back for this story. I have no idea what to do with it. I have a few ideas… and I'd share them with you… buuuuut… -chuckles- I'm not going to ruin it. I hope to end this around 10 or so chapters… but I don't know if I can get that far. I have to think of something big that could happen… with luck, I'll have a new chapter up in a matter of days. :p RnR pwease!
