Inuyasha jumped out of his car, rushing towards Kagome's pacing form that held her hair in a vice grip, her eyes screwed close as she mumbled incoherently into the darkness.

"Kags!" Inuyasha called, grasping her by the shoulders and giving her two hard shake. "Kags! Look at me!"

"I can't…!" Kagome whispered shakily, her voice almost like an echo. "I…I…"

"What is it?!" He pressed, worry drifting from his lips.

"Kik - …" Her voice broke as she screwed her eyes closed even more. "She's …." Wetting her parched lips she ran a palm over her visage, refusing to voice her ridiculousness for anyone to hear – especially Inuyasha.

"I know it's hard right now," He whispered, drawing her closer to him. "I'm shocked too – and it's… hard," He gulped tucking her head in the crook of his. "We both lost someone very close to us and… and…"

"It's our fault," Came her muffled confession, followed closely by a sniffle. "If we weren't –…"

"Don't start with that," He cut her off harshly, easing back slowly to look at her worried face, her eyes still stubbornly closed. "Don't ever regret what we have," He clarified.

"But –…" This time her eyes flew open and all the hurt, worry and love clashed within her, swirling in her orbs as they fought for dominance. "She said she knew Yasha!" Kagome cried, her hands wounding around his waist to grip his clothing. "Those were her last words: I know!"

The whole time she spoke, he shook his head in denial, knew that it was impossible for Kikyou to be suspicious of them – they were always so careful…too careful if one would ask. "That's impossible."

"You weren't there," She breathed out, iciness coursing through her from, making her shudder. "You didn't see the look she gave me… that accusing glower after she told me you broke up with her." Closing her eyes painfully as the image ran across her, she swallowed thickly. "You weren't there…"

"I didn't tell her anything – all I said…" His words fell silently as dread suddenly latched on to him. "…All I said…"

"What?!"

"That I… I was in love with someone else."

There was a long pregnant pause and all Kagome could hear was the howling of the wind as if it was crying out in dismay. Her senses grew while she heard the soft humming of Inuyasha's vehicle. A hum that sounded as if it was expressing its disapproval, the way the elders would when someone shamed what was the norm… what was right and holy.

"Then …" Swallowing thickly, Kagome's orbs misted with tears. "She knew." A recent setting of Kagome admitting to a prying Kikyou that she was indeed in love with someone, hence the reason for her lack of visits, made Kagome's tears fall freely. She recalled the way Kikyou begged for an introduction, but Kagome refused, declaring that it was a complicated situation and had to be on the down low until they were ready.

Sniffling softly, she eased into the hands that cupped her cheeks and wiped away at her tears gingerly. As Kagome opened her eyes to kiss against violet spheres, a wry smile touched her lips while Inuyasha dipped his head low to press his lips against her forehead.

"I'm sorry."

She shook her head, hugging him closer to her frame with a loud sigh. Even though what they did were wrong on so many level, the love she had for Inuyasha was genuine – and he knew that.

When his lips pressed against her own, she sighed loudly, as if the simple act took away all her stress and worry. The kiss soon turn heated as she clung onto him for dare life, opening her mouth wider to accept him.

I knew…

Kagome ignored the voice, moaning loudly as the kiss grew in frenzy.

All along I fuckingKNEW!

The shout felt like a force that made Kagome break the kiss and she gasped uncontrollably for air as her throat closed up.

"I…" She gasped as an image flashed in and out of focus before her.

You're a fucking disgrace.

Coldness slapped against her, constricting her body as she darkness consumed her.
