Hey, what's up? I know, I made you all wait for a ridiculously long period of time for this chappie. But no more, 'cuz here it is! After this chapter is over, so is Kagome and Kouga's relationship.



Disclaimer: No, unfortunately. I don't own Inu Yasha and co. * sigh*







Claimer: I dunno, just think of it this way, steal my idea, and your life shall be forever a living hell. ^-^



SailorFangirl- I'm sorry! I really didn't mean to just end it like that! I'm serious! It was a total accident!



Anne-twilight- Thanks! Sorry for the delay.



Kithkin- I think Sessoumaru KNOWS that Kagome won't be happy with Kouga-and that's a fact. I think Kouga's just drunk of something in this fic... kinda hard not to notice the difference even though they do resemble each other



Jupitor's Light- Yay! I'm so happy you do! * wipes tear from her eye*



just peachy- I know, I have the worst grammar... I'm just too lazy to correct it.. *sign *



Gwenivere- I'm sorry! I didn't mean to end it like that!



shikome kido mi- it's true! I really do cliffhangers by accident! Kikyou's just evil even if she's not a walking talking rotting zombie woman. (dodges tomatoes thrown by Kikyou fans... Hey ! Watch the hair! Not the hair!) And yeah, I know if I do a little Kag/Inu I'm going to be beat up by rabid Sess/Kag fans. Eaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! (proceeds to be trampled by a Sess/Kag fan stampede)



ForestKarma-Yup! That's the plan! And don't worry, I have it all worked out! (um. guys.. Why are you looking at me like that?)



lynxlady- Inu/kag's are great, but Sess/Kag usually have more plot. *sign * (runs away from rabid Inu/Kag fans) I really don't mean to make her the bad guy all the time... I blame the thousands of Kikyou-hate fics that are floating around. If you want me to review any of your fics, just tell me! I'll be happy to do so!





I hope I didn't leave any one out.. Anyways if I did, just e-mail me at hyu89@aol.com !









Tears of an Angel





By Hereiko Nakashima















Inu Yasha whirled around when he saw Kagome burst in.





"Kagome!"



She stopped dead in her track as her eyes met his.



"Inu Yasha! What are you doing here?"



He stared at her red-faced as he screamed, "I was just about to ask you the same thing!"



For a moment sky blue eyes met golden eyes. It was as if time had stopped for them, they stood transfixed as they gazed into each other's eyes. They quickly turned around so that their backs faced each other, their faces bright red as they looked down on their feet.



"Um..so you're cool with this now.right?" Inu Yasha asked nervously as he fiddled with the zipper on his handsome leather jacket. Kagome smiled nervously as she a bright red blush spread over her face.



"Um.. Yeah."



Inu Yasha smiled when he heard her response. A wry grin spread across his face as he studied her profile.



"Hey."



Inu Yasha turned Kagome around to face him. "Look, its okay, okay? I mean you're the girl Kouga loves and I'm his best bud. If anything were to happen.. "



He smiled shyly as he looked into her eyes.



"I promise I will be there. as you friend. to stand by your side."



She smiled into his golden eyes as she whispered, "Thank you Inu Yasha. it really means a lot to me.coming from you."



He laughed, a carefree one-the laugh of the boy she knew ten years ago. Sadness gripped her eyes as she thought , ten years ago. I would have done anything to hear him say those words..



She raised her head as the next thoughts flashed across her mind, now...I thought that if I heard it now I wouldn't feel anything. that it wouldn't affect me..but why is my heart beating so fast? Why do I feel as if my heart is so overflowing with joy that it might break? Why?



Kagome looked around Kouga's living room. A smile played on her lips as she remembered all the times she had spent there. When she saw that is was empty, she asked, puzzled, "Where is Kouga? I thought he said he'd be here."



Inu Yasha frowned as he thumbed the spine of a book. "I don't know. I was waiting for his maid but.."



He stopped when he saw the maid walk past the room out of the corner of his eye. "Hey-you!"



The woman stared at him in shock and quickly ran in the other direction, doing her best to pretend she hadn't heard him.



He ran after her as he shouted, "Hey! Why are you running?"



The maid screamed when Inu Yasha caught her arm.



"I know nothing! I didn't do it! He's busy! He's not here!" she screamed as she tried to break free of his grasp.



Inu Yasha's eyes narrowed with suspicion as he surveyed the struggling maid.



"She's hiding something," he muttered dangerously, as he threw the maid against the wall.





"Were. Is. He?!"



"Calm down Inu Yasha!" Kagome whispered as she grabbed his arm. "She didn't do anything!"



Inu Yasha glared at the maid as he hissed, "You know where Kouga is, and you're going to lead us right to him. Now."

"Kouga.", Kikyou moaned as Kouga's soft lips grazed her long neck.



"Kagome." he whispered as he buried his lips in her long, ebony hair.



"I love you so much.."



He froze when he heard a the soft creaking of the door opening.



"K-kouga..."



He threw the blanket around himself as he whirled around to see who it was. Shock registered on his face when he saw who it was. His voice choked as he yelled, "Ka-Kagome!"





So Kouga and Kagome are officially over. And don't worry, they won't be getting back together anytime soon. Yay! I'm happy this part if finally over. Anyways, I would like 7 more reviews for this chappie! Ja! ^^
