We were standing outside waiting for the guys giving each other a nervous look. "Sango why, why, why are we doing this?" I asked. She shrugged and shook her head. She was pale and was nervously twisting the ring on her left ring finger. I recognized it as the ring Miroku gave her.
InuYasha's Toyota pulled in a few minutes later and I swallowed. I took a deep breath and walked over to them. InuYasha got out and my throat threatened to close with tears. He looked as bad as I felt. I could tell he hadn't slept and if it did it wasn't peaceful. I wanted to run and hug him and I realized I had taken a step and Sango had put her hand on my arm. 'Friend ESP.' I thought with a smile. "Come on let's get this over with." I nodded and followed her down the stairs.
"Morning ladies." Miroku said. He looked about the same as InuYasha only his eyes were puffy and red. Sango gasped quietly and I knew she had noticed. I squeezed her wrist and cast her a saddened glance. "Here Kagome you sit up front with Yash okay?" I nodded and slid into the seat. Sango gave me a pleading look before she slid into the back.
"Hey." InuYasha said giving me a sad smile. I reached over and took his hand in mine before I could think about it. He jumped a bit and looked at me. I pulled my hand back and bit my lip. 'What is wrong with me?' I thought. InuYasha reached over, stopping about halfway and changing his course to the steering wheel. I swallowed back my tears and looked out the window. 'Why can't I just not care about him!' I thought tearfully. "I'm gonna have to pull over for a minute guys." InuYasha said and did so. "Kagome get out with me?" He asked. I nodded and followed.
He led me down a little trail with wave to Miroku and Sango. "Kagome?" He asked stopping in the middle of the trail. "Yeah?" I asked turning to him. "Do you…" He stopped and shook his head. "Will you follow me?" I nodded and he continued.
After a few minutes I heard rushing water and looked at him questioningly. He smiled tilted his head on down the trail. I nodded and followed. After a couple more minutes the trail opened up to a beautiful waterfall. I gasped loudly and felt a hand on mine. I looked back at InuYasha who smiled. "Kagome I am so sorry about hurting you like that. I should have never gone along with it and I'm begging you for your forgiveness. I know I don't deserve it but please Kagome! I've never felt like this with anyone," He stepped closer closing the gap, and put his arms around me, "please Kagome?" I bit my lip and thought about it. "I can't InuYasha not yet anyway." I sighed and looked down. It hurt so bad to say this but I knew it was true. My heart wasn't ready to trust him again just quite yet. He nodded and held me tight against him anyway. "I'm really sorry about all this Kagome." He replied sounding horse. I nodded and sighed against his broad chest.
We walked back up to the truck and I sighed. Sango and Miroku were talking; both looking serious. I pulled InuYasha down another trail. "Let them talk." I said quietly. He nodded and walked ahead of me. I bit my lip again and sighed. I hoped Miroku and Sango would get back together, Sango had enough tragedy in her life to lose the good part of it too; but as for InuYasha and me, well I didn't know. I shook my head and continued to follow him.
