don't own Inu-Yasha, and if I ever do, then I'll tell you.
Kagome slowly walked closer to the village, a little nervous about confronting the hanyou for the first time in weeks.
Inu-Yasha hastily raced toward the well, toward the source of Kagome's scent.
Kagome made out a red and white blur she instantly recognized as Inu- Yasha's kimono. 'He caught my scent. It's too late to turn back.'
"Kagome! I- I'm so s-sorry." It's always hard for guys to apologize.
"Save it, Inu-Yasha. I don't care how sorry you are. I came back for closure. Nothing you say will change my mind."
"Kagome, I love you." OOC, I know, but it's my story, and I don't care!
"Well, it's a little late for that. You don't have any idea how much you've hurt me. I've wanted to hear those words for a long time, but it's just too late."
"What do you mean 'you've wanted to hear those words for a long time?'"
"You never realized? Figures. I always loved you. I always will. But I can't do anything about it! No matter how much you say you love me, you'll always go back to Kikyo."
"Is that what this is about? Kikyo? I don't love her, not like I love you."
"Then why do I always catch you with her? If you don't love her, why do you go to her? Don't you 'love' me because I look like her?"
"I go to her because I can't have you."
"What?"
"I know I can't have you, and Kikyo's the next best thing."
"Don't lie to me! I've seen you with her! You talk to her like there's no other woman in your life!"
"I see you, I don't see her. I imagine it's you, but I know it's not. It tears me apart, knowing you don't care!"
"Don't you dare make this my fault! If you really loved me, you wouldn't act so cruel to me! You would care about me more than the shards."
"I do care about you more than the shards! I just don't... show it well."
"Then why do you show your love to Kikyo so much easier?"
"I don't know. I can honestly tell you I love you and not Kikyo, but 'nothing I say will change your mind.' I love you and I can't imagine what I would do if you weren't here. Kagome, I need you."
"Well, I'm sorry, because it's too late, Inu-Yasha. Just go. Go back to Kikyo and leave me alone. I love you, but I can't do this anymore. You've broken my heart one too many times, and now you have to suffer just as much as I have. I only came to stop feeling guilty when I'm with someone else."
"Someone else?" Inu-Yasha growled.
"Yeah, someone else. I've been dating Hojo since I left, but I'm sick of being guilty because of you."
'Dating Hojo? She's been dating someone???' Inu-Yasha thought. He couldn't stand it anymore!
"Kagome, I love you, and I won't let you leave me! I can't live without you."
"I can't either, but I won't just let you break my heart."
"Isn't there anything I can do?"
"No, unless you can convince me that you really love me and not Kikyo, which is impossible."
"Kagome, I did love her, but that was before I met you. She was the only one who really accepted me, but now she hates me, and that's ok, now that I have you."
"What do you mean she accepted you?"
"Everyone hated me because I was a hanyou. Kikyo was the only one with the heart to love me."
"It's hard to imagine her with a heart."
"In the end, she hated me, just like everyone else."
"Oh, Inu-Yasha. I'm sorry."
"But now I have you... well, I had you."
"Inu-Yasha, I'm sorry, but you still love her, I know it."
"I don't love her, but I want to protect her. I won't let her die again because I didn't do anything."
"I need you too, Inu-Yasha! I won't let her take you away from me. I'm sick of 'not being as good as her.'"
"You're better than her. You actually love me."
"And I always will, but you're making this too hard. If this is really love, shouldn't it be a little easier?"
"My mother used to tell me to fight for what I loved, and I love you too much to give you up now."
"That's too bad."

Kagome and Inu-Yasha kept talking (more like arguing) while hiding in the bushes was a little kitsune. 'She loves him?' Shippo thought.
Miroku and Sango popped out of nowhere and joined the kitsune in eavesdropping.
"Inu-Yasha's a jerk for always going back to Kikyo!" Sango whispered to Miroku.
"Kagome's being cruel, not giving him a second chance, he is part human after all." Miroku debated.
"She's given him second chances, but he keeps messing up!" Sango got a little closer to him, making sure Kagome and Inu-Yasha didn't hear them.
"How was Inu-Yasha supposed to know she loved him!?"
"It was so obvious!"
"Inu-Yasha's slow!"
"So slow, that he didn't realize he was losing her!"
"Well Sango, it's not all his fault."
'Dang! Those violet eyes are too hard to argue with.' For a second, Sango forgot what she was going to say, and a second was all that the monk needed.
Miroku saw his chance and swooped in. He kissed her, and believe it or not, it was his first actual kiss. He expected her to punch him, but instead, she kissed back, almost unconsciously.
Unfortunately, Shippo cut in, saying, "Hey guys, look!"
There was Kagome, leaning on Inu-Yasha's shoulder, smiling.
"We missed it?!?!"
"Sorry."
~~
"Kagome, I'll never go back to her. I did love her, but that's the past, and you're my future."
"Oh, Inu-Yasha, I hope you're right."
A/N: What do you think? Oh, and no, this isn't the end of the story yet. I hope you like! My spring break just started, so I should be updating a whole lot more!
