I walked away from her. Did I just hear Inuyasha? I thought. No silly girl, he doesn't love you back. The more I thought of him the more I hurt inside. Then I walked away into the woods and heard the voice calling my name. I followed it quietly and quickly through the woods. Then I saw Inuyasha, in human form, sitting on a rock sniffling. I stepped on a twig. " Dang it!" I whispered. "Who's there?" he asked head snapping up. I stepped out from the shadows and into the light to face him. "Me." I whispered. He backed away from me like I was a disease. " Wait, please don't leave again. I need to talk to you!" I cried and reached for him. He stopped cold. " Rin, I heard what you said, and I love you too, but we just cant be. I don't want to hurt, or drive you away like I did Kikyou and Kagome. Please, for your own good stay away!" he said softly. Each word struck me like a dagger of hatred. " You hate me." I said softly then started to cry uncontrollably. "YOU HATE ME!" I sobbed. "No! Rin! Please don't cry for me!" he said. "I love you so much that I would give my life for you and you hate me!" I cried. He walked over to me unexpectedly and held me close to him. I looked up at him and stared into his beautiful gray eyes. Then the real unexpected happened. He kissed me. What is he doing?! I thought. "I'm sorry." he broke away. " No." I said and kissed him back. He realized what was happening and held me close. And so did I. " Why me?" I asked. "Because you care for me." He replied. I kissed him deeply and he kissed back. I held on to him and we stayed there, not wanting to end our love. Soon we broke away. "Inu?" "Yeah?" " Why do we torture ourselves?" "I don't know, but not any more." He whispered and held me close. I snuggled against him, knowing that this was my destiny.
