~I do not own Inuyasha in any way shape or form. If I did, I wouldn't be
writing fanfic~ :P
Chapter 1
"Inuyasha!!" Kagome screamed out. She watched in horror as Kikyo wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's back and pulled him closer to her. Kagome tried to break free but was held back. She sat and couldn't take her eyes off the two as Kikyo pulled Inuyasha into the depths of hell with her. "Kagome wake up please!" She heard her friend Sango yelled out while shaking her. "Kagome whats wrong, you've been crying out in your sleep for almost 10 minutes" Sango said. "Sango, I'm sorry, it was just a nightmare, its nothing really, don't worry." Kagome told her, but not very convincingly. "I'm going to go for a walk Sango, ok?" "Ok Kagome, just be careful, who knows what could be out this late at night." Sango said warning her friend. Kagome quietly walked out the door of the small forest hut leaving her friends. She looked up at the moon through the trees. A full moon.she thought to herself. It was so peaceful here but at the same, so unnerving, with the fear of demons attacking you anywhere you went. She walked down to a small stream and sat down putting her feet in the water and letting the fish nibble at her toes. She looked across the stream at a sudden sound of movement. Becoming more curious she waded across the water and saw the sillouete of Inuyasha by a tree looking out wistfully into the forest. A few moments later, she saw another sillouhete, this time of a figure with flowing miko robes and long hair flying in the breeze. Kagome sighed as she watched Inuyasha run up to the soulless miko and hug her. She knew that they had been meeting lately, but actually seeing it somehow seemed worse than just knowing about it. She bent her neck in shame as she realized she shouldn't be jelous of Kikyo. Kikyo and Inuyasha were together long before Kagome fell out of the well. She slowly sat back up and walked into the hut, not disturbing and of her sleeping friends. A few minutes she heard the door open again and watched Inuyasha walk in and sit in a corner away from everyone while she pretended to be asleep. "Kikyo, I've told you this so many times, why can't you just go and rest in peace?" Inuyasha asked to Kikyo. "Inuyasha, you promised you would protect me though." she looked up at him with an emotionless face. "I promised I would protect Kikyo, but, you're just not her, you don't have her soul, you're completely different.I'm sorry, I just can't keep that promise anymore Kikyo." He watched as Kikyo left, as emotionless as when she came. He knew it couldn't hurt her since she was soulless, but still, it had to hurt in a way he couldn't imagine. He had to do this though, Kikyo was working with Naraku and there was no imagining what would happen if she decided to turn on Inuyasha again. He walked back into the hut to see a sleeping Kagome, Shippo, Sango, and Miraku in the corner of the hut. He looked over at Kagome's peaceful sleeping form. He would tell her tomorrow that he had finally given up Kikyo, then he could be with her. Ever since he pulled the sealing arrow out of him, he had liked her, but it wasn't until recently that he realized he wanted to be more than just friends with her. All he could do was hope that she felt the same way about him.
