Inuyasha's POV
She left me. Again. She always leaves me, and she aways has a good reason why, but this time...this time is different. She goes up and acts all sweet and innocent, but turns around and tells me she hates me, while making-out with me!
I always thought she would never leave out of her own will, but I was wrong. There was no Naraku around this time, no Kouga, just her. Kagome. It hurts to say or even think her name. I loved her so much that if was killing me to be without her. I wanted to hold her, feel her, touch her, talk to her. I wanted to know that she was safe by having her in my arms. I wanted to comfort her when she was hurt, and whipe away her tears. I wanted her to love me, but I always knew no one could, after all, I'm a hanyou.
I healed her wounds that were caused by Naraku, and that was all I was ever good for in her eyes. When I saw her, I saw a goddess, when she saw me, she saw a filthy half-demon. Miroku was right, she was using me.
------------
It's been two weeks since she left me. Ever since that day, I've felt hollow, like nothing could ever fix what she broke. I feel like someone had put an arrow right through my heart, but I lived, only to feel pain every second. I feel empty. I felt this way when I didn't know about her, Naraku and the curse, but that time, I had hope, this time hope only lies in the eyes of people around me.
I see Sango and Miroku together. I see how happy they are just to be in each others presents. I see them, and I see Kagome and I and the way we used to be. We used to laugh like they do. We used hold each other like they do. We used to comfort each other like they do. We used to kiss like they do. They are nothing but happy around each other. They look into each others eyes and remember the best times they've had together. This makes me realize how much I took Kagome for granted. I used to be happy around her and not have a second thought, but now I realize how happy she really made me.

Kagome's POV
Here I am, in Kouga's arms, sitting on his lap, listening to him whisper in my ear. I laugh at all the jokes he makes, and pout when he teases me. It's like we were never broken apart in the first place. He's still mine, and I'm still his. This is what everyone wants. It make Naraku happy. It makes Kouga happy. Everyone is happy in this perfect little world of mine. Together and forever for as long as I live. Perfect.

Inuyasha's POV
"Inuyasha," I hear Miroku say through the door. "Can I come in?"
"Usually you just barge in, what's so different today?" I ask as he comes in.
"Well I just thought since the whole Kagome thing..."
"That's all behind me Miroku," I lie.
You can tell by his face that he knows I still think about her every moment of the day. Still feel her lips on mine. Still hear her voice in my ears. Still see images of us together in my mind. Still want her to be mine. Even though it's been almost three weaks already, I still can't say her name, still can't think of her name. If her name leaves my lips, it's like a fire starts inside me threating to burn me to a crisp. That thought, it actually doesn't sound so bad. I wouldn't have to go through anymore pain. I would just jump, but I promised her I wouldn't, and even though she's gone, I will never fail to keep any promise I made to her.
"Inuyasha, if you are really over her, then come to the club with me tonight."
"Fine," I agreed.
I didn't want anyone else to know that I was hurting. I didn't want anyone else to know that I missed her the way I did. I didn't want anyone else to know anything about her and I.
Miroku drove us to a nearby club and I went and sat at the bar as he danced with Sango. I had been sitting there a good ten minutes, staring off into space, when I feel someone tap my shoulder. I turn around and see none other than Kikyo herself.
"Wanna dance?" she asks.
"No."
"Come on Inu, it'll be fun."
"No," I repeated.
"Fine, I'll wait."
She sat on my lap since there were no open seats, and wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Get off me," I snap.
"Then come dance with me," she said.
"No," I say again.
She smiles and turns toward me. She pushes her breasts against my chest and kisses me deeply.
"Dance with me," she says again.
"Fine!" I yell.
Her smile widens as she gets up off of me and pulls me to the dance floor. She takes my hands and places them on her hips as she begins to grind against me.
"Having fun yet Inu?" she askes over the music.
"No."
"Come on, lighten up."
"No."
"Do you like that word or something?" she questions further.
"No," I reply bitterly.
She just rolls her eyes and continues to grind into me. After the song is over I remove my hands from her hips and go back to sit down. As soon as I'm seated Kikyo comes and sits back on my lap. I roll my eyes as she rests her head against my chest. She orders a drink and then turns to face me.
"What's up with you tonight? Usually when a girl is all over you like this you take full advantage of it."
"Times change."
"Really?" she kissed me again. "Nope you're still the same Inuyasha, just with a little twist that I need to straighten out."
"Just go away Kikyo," I say coldly.
"Why? I don't mind being rebound you know?"
"Good, then go be rebound for someone else," I say as I push her off of me.
She once again comes and sits on my lap like she owns me.
"Kikyo, get off," I order.
"Inu-"
"Off," I say again.
"Fine, you're no fun tonight."
She gets off and goes and grinds against another guy. Same old Kikyo.

Kagome's POV
I woke up the next morning cuddled up to Kouga.
"Good moring," he whispers in my ear.
"Morning."
"We got to go to Naraku's quarters, he called about 10 minutes ago."
"Why didn't you wake me?" I ask.
"Because you look so cute when you're cuddled up against me."
He kisses my nose and we both get out of bed. I go to my room and get dress and by the time I'm done, Kouga is waiting outside my door. We walked up to Naraku's quarters in silence. When we got there we sat down at the two chairs that were across from his.
"Nice of you to join me. I have a mission for you guys. I need you to kill Harku, he has been detected as a threat," Naraku states.
"When do we leave?" Kouga asks.
"Right now."
We nod and get up out of our chairs. Kouga takes my hand and we go to the gates. I look at the tree but there is no gold coming from it. I shrug as we go towards Harku's hideout. Once inside I killed all out the guards as Kouga went for Harku. It's so hard to believe he can kill his own kind without a second thought. Naraku really changed him.
Killing Harku wasn't that hard considering Kouga knew all his moves and I could purify him with one touch. After we were done we went looking through his stuff for any information Naraku might want. We found a letter and surprisingly, it was addressed to Kouga.
Kouga opened it and we both read it
Dear Kouga,
By the time you read this, it will have already been a year since my death. You will have Kagome back after she thought you had died, and you will both be in the hands of Naraku. I don't know how you survived, Kouga, but you did and I'm glad there is someone there to keep my little girl safe. You're probably wondering how I know all this and it's because I could see into the future. I don't down why I can, but I can. I was once in the prediciment Kagome is now under: Listen and obey Naraku's orders or your loved one dies. As you can see, Kagome's mother tried to help me escape but wound up getting killed along with me. I saw this coming, but didn't want to believe it. You were also trying to save me, for Kagome's sake, and wound up how you are now. I know I leave you with many questions but I just wanted to say, take care of my little girl, and make sure she is always safe in your arms.
Mr. Higurashi
"He knew this was going to happen," Kouga breathed.
Tears were running down my face. He knew this was going to happen but he didn't believe it?
"It's okay Kagome, I'll do just as your father wanted, I'll keep you safe in my arms, forever."
I cried into Kouga's chest. My dad knew we were going to have to come here, he knew all the time frames, that's why he put the letter here. Did he know about Inuyasha? He didn't say anything. Maybe I changed the future by opening up to Inuyasha instead of moarning over their deaths. Is that why he tried to escape after what he saw? He was trying to change the future?
"Kouga, did you know about this?" I ask
"No," he replies.
"Why didn't he tell me?"
"He didn't want to hurt you by telling you that he was going to die."
I nodded and slowly started making my way back towards the castel, Kouga beside me the whole time, holding my hand.
When we got back to the castel we gave the information we found to Naraku and I went to my room. I felt lifeless and the only person who could heal me, he was probably out having fun.
------------------------------
Inuyasha's POV
After Miroku dropped me back off at my house, my thought wandered. I woundered what she was doing right now. Miroku told me, once again, to get over her, but I can't. She was probably off somewhere with Kouga having the time of her life, not evening sparing me a thought. That night, I fell alseep with images of her wrapped in Kouga's arms, and you have no idea how jealous that made me.
