I didn't realize how painful it was to be ignored until he wouldn't speak to me. It's been a month and I truthfully haven't seen Inuyasha much. In my classes yeah and sometimes at home but he never acknowledges me. So currently the girls were trying to console me in my room while I cried my eyes out.

"Kag's you know he still loves you just give him time."

"Yeah he's just confused you know he cant figure out weather being with you is worth your safety. Does that make sense?" Ayame asked her head cocked side wise. That got a little giggle out of me.

"I think you just need a break lets have a girl day out!" Sango yelled pumping her fist in the air.

"Yeah we can go shopping eat junk go to a club."

"You are all so selfish!" Shiori yelled clenching her fist at her sides. "Cant you see she is in pain and you girls want to go shopping what she needs is a break away from him and all of us so she can think!"

We all stared at her like she was crazy.

"Your right sorry Kag's." all the girls said at once.

"I think I want to go home just for the weekend maybe Monday, Shiori do you think you can get your parents to cover for me?"

"No problem. Just take your time but you should tell Yash just in case. Later tonight I don't know where he is and you also might want to make up an excuse like your grandpa is in the hospital or something. We don't want him any more pissed of then he already is you know?" she asked as she walked to my closet and started packing clothes. "You can probably get your mom to pick you up tomorrow morning or my mom could drive you home."

"I'll call my mom thanks."

My mom agreed to come and pick me up I told her the story I was currently sitting up on the couch where Inuyasha and I had slept together when he gave me the necklace. He still wasn't home, that is until I herd the door slam open and him come tumbling into the room soaked from the pouring rain and what looked like blood on his knuckles, lip, and head.

"Inuyasha?" I asked as I stood up and walked towards him his head jerked up to look at me and he froze.

"Ka-Kagome." he stuttered out looking shocked.

"What happened were you attacked or something?" I led him to the couch he was hesitant to get close to me but he had a limp so he needed the shoulder to lean on.

"No I was at a street fight. Kicked someone's ass."

"Are you a Dumb ass Inuyasha! Do you have any Idea how dangerous they are what if one of them pulls a gun or a knife or something! Huh what then!" I screamed at him noticing how his ears went against his head after he finished pulling his soaked shirt of his back. He was covered in bruises.

"Why do You even care huh Kagome! You didn't seem to give a damn the other day when I came in with a busted lip! You just walked straight upstairs!" he quickly stood up and towered over me.

"Because! You know I love you! Stop taking your damn anger out on other people Inuyasha It's fucking wrong! It worries me!" I screamed again.

"I will take my fucking anger out on whatever I want!"

"Hey you guys okay." I turned to see everyone standing there watching us.

"Yash what happened to you?" Shiori asked her eyes widening.

"Nothing I'm-"

I cut him off "He got into a street fight the moron." I said calmly before I knew it his foot connected with the side of the table and it tipped over shattering glass all over the floor.

"Dammit Kagome mind your business!' he yelled pointing a finger at me then winced and sat on the couch holding his ribs.

"Guy's go back to bed we're fine promise." I flashed them a fake smile and they all turned and left. I also left the room but then came back with a broom and dustpan for the glass.

"Kagome don't I can get it." Inuyasha said nicely as he was about to kneel down and help but winced when he moved.

"Your ribs are probably cracked I'll fix that as soon as I get this glass." I finished in a couple minutes and looked over at him looking at his claws. "You okay?" I asked and walked over to him and sat down.

"No I yelled at you broke a table and my fingers are numb I'm an asshole." he whispered then looked at me.

"I have to talk to you Inuyasha. I'm leaving tomorrow to go back home for a few day my grandpa is in the hospital and I want to go and stay with my family." I told him quickly hoping he wont smell the lie of course the hope was in vain.

"Your leaving because of me aren't you?" he asked as I started healing his ribs.

"I cant take the fact that you don't want me anymore I just need to go home and think about everything maybe talk to my mom." I told him.

"I never wanted any of this to go this way. I love you but damn it Kagome I don't want you hurt." he took my hand and kissed the back of it.

"I know but have you noticed that you are hurting me by doing this."

"Can you die from the pain I'm causing? Please Kagome just stop loving me it will make it easy." he whispered.

"But Inu-"

"No Kagome don't make me say it again it hurts me too, okay but you wont get hurt by anyone else because of me." he stood up to leave but I grabbed his hand. I could feel the water running down my cheeks.

"Please just tonight stay with me." he nodded his head then crawled on the couch. We were laying the same way we always did since the night when the man at the park attacked me. I couldn't sleep that night and I knew he couldn't either. All night I had tears running down my cheeks like water falls. Every once in a while I would feel water drop onto my neck.

Inuyasha's tears.

That only made me cry harder when I herd a choked sob come from him. Eventually we did fall asleep because when I woke up Inuyasha was sound asleep with his head buried in my hair. Before I left I took a wet rag and washed his peaceful face of any tear marks, so no one would see.

"See you soon Inuyasha." I kissed his temple then herd him mutter 'Gome' in his sleep.

«««««««««««««««««««««««««

"Kagome?" my mom knock on my door before she walked into my room. "You wanted to talk." she closed the door behind her and sat on the edge of my bed.

"Mama how did you know you loved Dad?" I asked her face was shocked.

"To tell you the truth we hated each other at first, always arguing and fighting. One week he was in a accident so he was out of school for a month. I hated not seeing him every day fighting with him or pulling pranks on him. I visited him in the hospital and told him all about school and what was going on and then suddenly he leaned over and kissed me full on the lips. I knew I was in love with him then because of how I never wanted that moment to end."

"What if you love someone and they don't love you back?"

"Impossible."

"Huh?"

"That never happens. You never truly love someone until they love you in return that means they are opening up to you, letting you passed their shield." she said wisely as she side hugged me.

"What if they did love you then broke up with you to protect you? Or if they don't love you anymore? Or someone else came in the picture?" I never did think of the possibility that he fell for someone else.

"Why so many questions? Kagome what's wrong is it that Inuyasha boy you were telling me about last month?"

"I love him so much mom, but he left me to protect me so he says. But I can tell he is in so much pain when we look at each other just like me." I cried laying down onto my pillow.

"That's what love is. Love is friendship, hatred, pain, care, feeling, all wrapped into one. If you think me and your father didn't have it rough then you are way off. If we were apart from one another there was pain but it wasn't compared to when one got hurt. When I herd your father had been in a accident when I was in school I ran out of the classroom so fast and out the school doors and strait home. The pain in my chest was unbearable like someone was squeezing my heart. Kagome this boy loves you just give it time." she patted my head.

"But mom why me? Why cant it be easy?"

"Love is that way, without the bad times there will be no good times. Years or maybe even months from now you will look back and think 'if he never broke it off we would never have become this strong.' it just how it works." then she left after kissing my temple. This whole problem hopefully will be fixed in a matter of days. Then pain in my chest I cant take it anymore so I have to fix this problem before it tares me apart.

I spent the weekend with my family and my mom drove me back on Monday. I walked into the house Monday afternoon to see the living room trashed. It was a mess there was class all over, I saw blood stains on the carpet not big ones but still it was blood. The couches were torn

"What the Hell?" I said out loud then ran upstairs and straight to my room nothing was touched and Amaya was on my bed coloring.

"Amaya what happened down stairs?" I asked as she looked up and gave a huge smile and ran towards me.

"MOMMY!" she yelled and jumped into my arms.

"Hi honey but can you tell me what happened?"

"Uncle Kouga and Daddy got into a big fight. I didn't see it and I don't really know why but daddy told me to come up here when they started growling and using bad language." she said as she went back to coloring. I herd a guitar chord play and walked to Inuyasha's room.

"Why were you and Kouga fighting?" I asked walking into his room and closing the door.

"He said stuff that pissed me off nothing out of the ordinary really we fight a lot."

With that I walked out knowing he wouldn't say any more on the subject.
