Chapter 3: Kagome's forgiveness

A/N: If you want me to use Japanese words please send them to me because I don't know how to spell them, I know how to say them but I don't want to look like a retard and spell them wrong. Lol. Umm.anyway here's the third chapter.



Inu-Yasha watched Kagome as she stomped into her room, and Inu-Yasha flinched as she slammed the door violently.

'Note to self: Wait until she cools down to talk to her.'

Inu-Yasha thought to himself as he pictured her sitting him into the seventh layer of hell. Suddenly his attention was drawn back to Kagome as she collapsed into tears on her bedroom floor. Inu-Yasha felt his heart drop as he saw the tears run rampant down her cheeks and wondered what he had done this time to upset her so much.

'Sure I called her names and everything but I have always done that so why would she start crying over it now? Kikyo would never act like this.'

Inu-Yasha sighed exasperated. Then his eyes widened with shock, as he finally understood why she might be so angry. He watched her for while longer until it looked as if she was so tired from crying she couldn't fight with him if she wanted to, then he jumped to her window sliding it open and inviting himself in. Kagome looked up at him with her eyes swollen and red from crying.

"What do you want Inu-Yasha?" She asked in an empty, broken voice. She didn't care anymore; when she had gotten home her mother had told her she had already packed her another bag to go back with. When Kagome told her she wasn't going back her mother had frowned and told her she had to because she hadn't noticed it until Kagome had started going to the past but she loved the free time it gave her to only have one child again. Then she looked at Kagome with anger in her eyes and told her to stop being selfish, and called her a whore and said she had probably already slept with the half-demon and to be honest she thought she have had at least one illegitimate grandchild by now. That's when she had run up to her room and slammed her door.

Kagome looked up at him tears still trickling down her flushed cheeks every now and then. Inu-Yasha looked at her with pity in his eyes and Kagome managed a dry laugh as she looked back down to her hands.

"Have you come to insult me some more? To drag me back only to tell me how useless I am? Or do you just feel like telling me how much I could never compare to Kikyo? Why don't you just rip my heart out with your claws Inu- Yasha? You'd be doing me a favor really." She said in a low voice just about a whisper, half hoping he would kill her and half hoping for him to say or do something that would give her the will to live.

Inu-Yasha looked down at her and realized it was his fault he had been killing her with his sharp barbs and nasty words since they had met. He felt something jab at his heart and knelt down before the broken girl to gather her in his arms.

"I'm sorry Kagome, I'm sorry." He whispered to her over and over until the girl in his arms went slack and her breath evened out. He picked her sleeping form up and settled her on her bed. He looked at her face in the late afternoon sunshine and sat next to her bed to await her awakening.

'I never knew my words hurt her so much.' He thought as he sat next to her bed, 'I feel like scum, I've made my best friend want to die, I made her loose her will to live.I have to apologize and even that won't be enough to make up for it.' He thought as he dozed off.

When Kagome awoke there was a tuft of white hair in front of her face, then she looked around and realized Inu-Yasha was sitting by her bed sleeping. She smiled a little but then remembered the events of the day and her eyes filled with tears again.

' To be honest my mothers words had stung a lot more than Inu-Yasha's but maybe that's because I am used to hearing Inu-Yasha insult me, but her mother.'

Kagome thought as Inu-Yasha stirred.

"Inu-Yasha, lets go back." Kagome said in a voice void of any emotion. Inu- Yasha looked at her sadly feeling like the swamp slime he was for making her feel this way. As she got to her feet and headed toward the door he stopped her and pulled her into an embrace. She was too stunned to do anything for a moment but soon started to struggle. 'I don't want to get hurt again.' She thought as she frantically tried to free herself from his touch but in the and she gave in and hugged him back tightly as she cried wondering why her instincts always told her to trust him after he had hurt her so many times. "Kagome," He whispered into her hair. "I'm so sorry, I never realized.I mean I didn't know that I hurt you so much.I thought you knew that's just how I am, I'm just a big asshole Kagome and I'm sorry. I don't really mean all the things I say to you, you should know that Kagome." Inu-Yasha said shushing her quiet sobs. "Kagome you're my best friend and I love you." Inu- Yasha said not thinking about his words just wanting to make his best friend feel better.

'Yes Inu-Yasha I know you love me and I know I'm your best friend but you don't love me the way I need to be loved.' Kagome thought as she cried harder into his chest.

A/n: So what do you think? I don't know if her mother would really act like that but she's going to in my story. Well RnR.
