The Wish to Break All
Chapter 6
Kagome grinned madly on the inside from watching Inuyasha spasm at the mere notion of being 'overlooked,' as it were. She had remembered everything that had anything to do with their relationship. The feelings hadn't hit her yet, which she thought was weird, but she was willing to make due.
"Kagome," Inuyasha started, obviously struggling for self-control, "who…is…Hojo…?" He would've spelled it out, but settled for meaningful pauses after every word. Kagome knew this, and was elated at the thought of how well she really did know him.
"No one…" she trailed off, twisting a lock of hair around her index finger nonchalantly. His face tinted red in anger, and he bared his fangs at her.
"Stop being difficult!" Inuyasha yelled, obviously losing his temper. "I bring you back to remember every fucking thing about me, and you remember HIM?!" Kagome scooted closer to him and patted his head lightly.
"There, that wasn't so hard, was it?" She cocked her head and smiled her same, warm smile. Inuyasha glared.
"Bitch, if you've been faking this all along…" he threatened, cracking his knuckles.
"Erm—SIT!" Kagome yelled as he made to tackle her.
"RMMmff!" he protested into the ground. She started to make distance, but fell instead. He had her ankle in a death grip, and it didn't look like he was letting go anytime soon. Kagome smiled again and sat next to him.
"You know…I remembered." She began, almost regretfully. He looked up at her, his eyes quizzical, lost of any anger. "I remembered everything you did to hurt me." Inuyasha blanched, but remained silent. "I also remember what you did to make it right."
"Kagome…" he started, but for reasons unknown, could not continue.
"I loved you, Inuyasha. I always did." Kagome finally said, looking down at him with tears in her eyes.
~
Inuyasha's heart caught in his throat. She said that she'd always loved him, but…what the hell was with the past tense?! He sat up, the spell finally wearing off.
"Kagome," he repeated. For some reason, that's all he could muster to say. "I…I…" Kagome lifted her hand gently to silence him, as Kikyou had done in the forest that day. It awakened a bad feeling that churned his insides and nibbled at his breath, causing it to hitch.
"I know, Inuyasha. I know now." She smiled faintly, sadly, and reached for the rosary about his neck. He snatched her hands quickly and pulled them away. "But…isn't that what you wanted?" she asked. "Don't you want to be free?" He laughed. More at himself than anything.
"I get it," he snarled, "I know what you're doing. I will not lose ties with you." Kagome tried to pull away, but he held her firmly, glaring into her eyes.
"I-I'm sorry, Inuyasha. It just…it has to be this way. I want to remember, but I do not wish to continue." His heart sank, and, in all reality, he just wanted to curl up into a little ball and curse. Or cry. He roughly forced her into a tight embrace, breathing in her scent.
"I won't lose you." He snarled into her hair. He could tell she was crying. He pulled away and kissed her for the last time. For the last fucking time. She pulled away harshly and ran. He didn't even think of trying to stop her. Their last kiss still lingered on his lips, taunting him, reminding him of what was lost. What could have been.
What was not.

OMG! I can't believe I did that! @_@ Don't hit me! *hides* This is NOT the last chapter! Look foreword (or is it forward? Hm...) to more, as this WILL have a happy ending, if I have to die in the process! *glares around the room* Review, por favor! (4 would be really, really nice, and totally gracious, seeing as how I am the worst updater in the entire universe!)
