Chapter 7: Sorry

Kagome walked past all of the fruit stands in the market square, not stopping to really look at the goods up for sale. Why she was even there she didn't know but she needed something to occupy her time. Avoiding Inuyasha wasn't a hard task, considering he was trying his hardest to avoid her as well. Damn those awkward situations! If they were more comfortable around each other, maybe they wouldn't have to go out of there way to avoid each other. Kagome sighed.

"May I help you with something today?"Kagome looked over at the young girl selling what seemed to be accessories.

"Oh, no I am only looking around. Thank you."

The girl nodded and Kagome walked away. Her eyes fixed on the ground below her, she walked head first into a firm body.

"Oh my, I am so sorry-"

She lifted her head and her brown eyes meet with a pair of beautiful golden ones. She chocked on her breath as she tried to speak.

"It is ok."

"N-no, it was my fault. I was not looking."

"Like I said, it is ok."

It was then, she realized how close they were, her body was still pressed against his. She took a step back and averted her eyes to the ground. Her palms started to sweat as she debated whether to talk to him any farther. Her stomach seemed to drop.

"I-Inuyasha….I."

But before she could speak he turned and walked away. The feeling in her stomach rose quickly to her heart. She felt a sudden shortness of breath and turned away from his retreating figure. Moving as fast as she could without drawing attention to herself, Kagome walked away. She didn't know where she was going but it seemed like the only path, it was either, go forward or turn and go back to him. There was no way in hell she was turning back, so forward was the only way. Tired was an understatement, she looked up and saw a river in front of her. Resting on the bank, she pulled her knees tightly to her chest. Her head fell to her knees as she caught her breath. Why was she feeling so rejected, it was only Inuyasha…I mean sure there was something there but it wasn't that serious, right? She sighed, and running her fingers through her hair, closed her eyes.

'What is wrong with me? Its only Inuyasha.'

The more she thought about it the more her heart fell. When did it all become so complicated? All she wanted was to talk to him, she just wanted him to talk to her again. Was that to much to ask? Her felling of rejection changed to a more of a frustrated one. This was his fault! If he would swallow his pride and talk to her, then maybe they could go back to the way they were. How were they? How did they act around each other? She couldn't even find words, was it always this awkward or what? All she knew was that she wanted to talk to him again. She wanted to get caught up in the moment and just go with the flow. What ever the flow may be. Wait,…her true reason for being close to him hit her like a ton of bricks. She was there for one reason, and it wasn't to get to know him. Kagome lifted her head and watched the water pass by.

"What now?"

"Kagome!"

She turned to the familiar voice and tried to smile, but found it to hard. Sango sat next to her.

"Hello Sango."

Sango's bright smile fell.

"Are you alright?"

"Yea."

"You are not your self. What is wrong?"

"Well…..I…I do not know what has come over me."

"What you need is to have some fun. Come on."

Sango grabbed her wrist and ran farther down the bank of the river. When there was nothing behind them but woods, Sango began stripping herself of her dress.

"Sango! What are you doing?"

"WE are going swimming!"

"What no, what if someone sees us?"

"They wont!"

Now in her under garments, Sango pulled at Kagome's dress.

"Ah! Sango!…Nooooo!"

Before she knew it, Kagome was also stripped of her dress and corset, left only in her under garments. Sango smiled at her and jumped off the two story bank, into the water.

"Come on…the water is perfect!"

Kagome walked to the end of the cliff like river bank.

"This is crazy!"

"Oh come on! What happened to the old Kagome?"

Kagome looked down and gulped, she looked at Sango then back at the water below. She took a deep breath and jumped. Hitting the cool water, Kagome shut her eyes. Under the water, she opened her eyes and swam for the surface. She looked at Sango and smiled.

"See, its perfect!"

"It is. Its wonderful!"

Kagome leaned back and floated, staring up at the clear blue sky. The sky was blocked by Sango's smiling face.

"So, what's the matter?"

"It is….Inuyasha.."

Sango grabbed her and pulled her off her back, so she was facing her completely.

"What happened?!"

She sighed and played out the whole crazy situation. Once finished, Kagome looked back at the sky.

"And now, I do not know what to do. All I want is for him to talk to me."

"So trap him."

"What?"

"Get him alone and make sure he has no choice but to listen to you."

"But I-"

"Hey you! Get out of there!"

They looked up at Miroku yelling down at them. Smiling Sango swam for the edge of the bank and climbed up to him. Giving him a kiss, she motioned for Kagome to climb up. So she did and wrapped herself in her arms. She watched as Miroku gave Sango his jacket and felt left out.

"Inuyasha! I found them! Over here!"

Kagome froze, there was no way he was here. She spotted her dress and pulled it up against her body. She watched as a sliver haired figure came around the crowd of trees. Her eyes met his for a brief moment before he looked away.

"Take Sango in the carriage and then send it back for us."

Miroku nodded and led Sango to the carriage. Once it took off, Inuyasha looked at Kagome.

"What were you two doing?"

"S-swimming I guess."

"In your under garments? Suppose someone saw you? And then decided to come down there and-"

"Why do you care so much!"

Inuyasha shot her a stern look.

"Just…..just get dressed."

Kagome looked down at her self then back at him.

"Look away."

Inuyasha scowled and turned his back to her. Kagome turned and forgetting her corset, stepped into her dress. As she pulled it on her shoulders she felt a hand glide gently against her back. She took in a sharp breath and tried to relax as he continued rubbing her scars.

"I-I am sorry."

Kagome tensed up even more at his words.

"Please, forgive me."

Kagome opened her mouth to speak but choked on her words when she felt him kiss her wounds. Her eyes widened and she held her breath. Her hands began to shake as he continued to randomly kiss and lick her wounds. Once he stopped she felt his arms wrap around her shoulders, he pulled her closer.

"Forgive me."

Kagome felt tears fill her eyes, but she refused to let them fall.

"Are you angry with me?"

She only shook her head. He turned her around and she met his gaze.

"You really forgive me?"

She nodded her head quickly. He sighed and then smiled before hugging her. She let out her long awaited breath and rested against his embrace. When they parted he leaned in to kiss her. Panic filled her body she needed a distraction fast, she looked to her right.

"The carriage is here."

Kagome practically spat those words. Inuyasha looked over at the carriage and let her go.

"Come on."

He turned and walked for the road behind the thin crowd of trees. Kagome sighed and picked her corset up and slipped on her shoes before following him. The ride back to the castle was long, quiet and awkward. She couldn't wait to go to her room and die. Once they stopped, Kagome bolted for her room. Without a bye or even thank you to Inuyasha, she ran into her room. She shut the door and leaned on her hands which were resting on the door. She reached over her shoulder and touched the top of her back.

'I just wanted to talk…..I didn't want all of that..'

She sighed and sat on her bed. Resting her head in her hands she thought of what he had been doing. He was apologizing, right? That was the second time he said sorry and both times were intimate. She played with her fingers.

"Maybe that's the only way he can say it, if we are having a moment….when we are alone."

Kagome jumped out of her thought when the door opened. She looked up and gasped.

"I-Inuyasha?"

"You ran off."

He walked towards her.

"O-oh I'm sorry…I didn't mean to-"

He leaned down and kissed her. Her heart beat speed up as she kissed him back and felt him lay her back.

'This shouldn't be happening…..I have to stop it….I-I need to….to…'

Her thoughts were clouding up and all she knew was that she didn't want him to stop what ever he was doing to her. Her breathes were long and heavy, she didn't even realize that her dress was now off and only a small amount of clothing covering her up. She felt his claws massage her scalp and his other hand on the bare skin of her stomach.

"Kagome….do you want me to stop?"

Kagome choked out sounds but couldn't form words so she just shook her head and pulled him own into a kiss.

'I can not stop it….I just cant.'
