Anyway, Twida, KitsuneGoukaYasha, and Midnight-Ninja-Of-The-Darkness, I know that you added me to your story alerts and favourites, I got the e-mail, but would it really be so much trouble to review? It will make me write faster and inspire me. It makes me frustrated :( Anyway PLEASE review. Oh, and thanks for the reviews every one else sent me :D Kikyo is bitchy in this chapter.


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

The sun was just setting as Kagome walked through the forest. She didn't want to leave, but knew her and Inuyasha needed some space away from each other.

'I still don't understand why he cheated on me,' she thought. 'Well, not that we were ever together.' she thought sadly.

She spotted Goshinboku where she met Inuyasha. It seemed like such a long time ago, so much had changed. She felt like she was going to throw up as she thought of her Inuyasha and Kikyo together.

She wanted to die. Right there and right then she decided that she should follow up on this, it's not like Inuyasha would care.

She wasn't just doing this for attention, if Inuyasha wasn't in it, her life wasn't worth living. She didn't want to cry herself to sleep each night. No boy at her school would be able to replace him.

She advanced slowly toward it to see a woman dressed in white and red curled up at the base of the God Tree.

"Are you alright?" she asked. The woman turned, and Kagome saw a reflection of herself.

'No, that's not me,' she reassured herself. 'I'm not nearly as beautiful. I bet Inuyasha would agree.'

"Kagome," said the woman, "What are you doing here?"

"Kikyo? I was just...Walking."

"Kagome, I apologize about what happened. Inuyasha and I have been together for a long time, it's only natural that he'd choose me. I'm sure it's nothing personal."

"Yeah, whatever. Shouldn't you be with him?"

"Inuyasha went off to...Pick me flowers."

"Why don't you join him?" she asked as pleasantly as she could, her hatred hinding beneath the surface.

"I will." and with that she walked away.

Kagome stared after her. She was hardly ever jealous, but right now her face felt hot with envy.

She closed her eyes and rested her head against the tronc of the tree. Why must her life be so difficult? She wished she'd never met him...No, she took it back, then she never would've known what it was to be in love, though her heart was crushed, she was glad she knew Inuyasha. At least she'd have the memories.

She climbed up Goshinboku and settled herself in it's branches. The woodsy scent reminded her of Inuyasha, who hardly ever washed, and set her heart to flutter. She knew what she had to do.

She slid an arrow out of her quiver. The point was a brilliant pink, it glowed and sparkled and sent a smile tugging at her equally brilliant pink lips. She remembered all the good times, the heroic times she'd used these arrows. Now she was using them for something hardly noble.

She squeezed her eyes shut and thought of all the painful things Inuyasha had done and said to her. If she didn't do that, she might not have the guts to do what she was about to do.

Thousands of memories flooded her mind, and she slowly brought the arrow her chest and was halfway to plunging it into her heart when someone caught her hand. "Please go away." she said, not opening her eyes.

"Oi! Kagome, what are you doing?"

She hesitantly opened her eyes, expecting to see Inuyasha, but be surprised by a familiar wolf demon facing her.

"Kouga?" she asked. "What-"

"I think it's you who should be answering the questions, Kagome." he said, setting his icy blue eyes on her at full blaze.

She felt lost in his ocean orbs. She blinked, dazed.

"Kouga..." she was lost at words to explain herself. It was embarassing.

"What exactly were you trying to do, Kagome? You could've gotten seriously hurt!"

"I know, I...I-"

"Kagome, if you ever...died," even saying the word seemed to make him shudder. "I don't know what I'd do."

Kagome felt her face turn scarlet. She saw before her someone who truly cared about her, more than Inuyasha ever did. He still had her hand in his grip.

"Kouga, I...Don't know how to explain myself." she said.

"You don't have to, I know why you were going to kill yourself. I just don't understand that if you were so unhappy with that pup, you didn't come to me."

"Kouga," her eyes shining with tears, she leaned forward and collapsed in Kouga's arms, sobbing with all her heart as he steadily rubbed her back.

"I can't trust you to be by yourself. You will come back to my cave with me and after a long sleep, you are going to tell me everything that happened."

He gathered her in his arms and leaped out of the tree towards the Wolf Caves. It had been a long day physically and emotionally Kagome was exhausted. She fell asleep in his arms.

Meanwhile...

Inuyasha remained by himself for the rest of the night in his favourite Cherry Blossom tree. He wouldn't come down, even when Sango gave up being mad at him and apologized.


A/N: Inuyasha's a hottie but so is Kouga. Hmmm...Review!
