CHAPTER 13

~*~*~*INUYASHA'S POV*~*~*~

The sun was a bright red fireball sinking into the blackness of the horizon. I sat against the wall of the hut, why do I feel so guilty?? I've killed plenty of demons and humans without so much as a wince. But here, I give some girl a minor flesh wound and I feel like I'm totally worthless and that I don't deserve to live. And why were all these memories flooding back to me all of a sudden?? Did it have to do with that girl? Nah, dumb question, of course it does. I never had them before she came along.

But for now, I need to focus on more important stuff. Like how to get the jewel from that bitch. I am so close to becoming a full demon; I can almost taste it. My powers have grown three-fold since I got these two jewels. And it didn't affect me just power-wise. The jewel helps repress my human side too! During nights with new moons, I stay human for just half the night rather than the whole night!

Just thinking about how much power I would get from the whole jewel made my hands shake with anticipation.

~*~*~*KAGOME'S POV*~*~*~

I woke up groggily and barely aware of where I was. I looked around fuzzily blinking every few seconds for my vision to clear up. I was inside a small hut. The fire in the middle crackled happily and the aroma of food came from the large black pot over it.

My shoulder throbbed with a dull ache. Why would he attack us? And why did he stop? Why didn't he just kill me? I'll decide if you're expendable...It obviously means that you guys are of no importance to me whatsoever.

Did he really mean all that stuff? I could feel a lump forming in the back of my throat. I felt thirsty, like my throat was completely dry and I choked back sobs. I guess even after all this time I'm still just a useless Shikon Detector to him. But the only difference this time is that we have the whole jewel between the two of us.

Shippou was wrong; I'm not needed here at all. I can't wait for the two weeks to be over so I can leave this hellhole. Why did I promise to stay for so long in the first place? Sango and Miroku are happy together I guess, and they'll take care of Shippou. Kaede seemed to like being by herself in silence. Inuyasha obviously didn't need anyone, much less me.

Everyone had moved on without me. But I, foolish me, I had stayed living a false dream that someday Inuyasha would come for me and everything would be ok.

It was true that I didn't belong in either worlds. My soul belonged here, that was for sure, but I don't feel like I belong here. I belonged in my world. Didn't I? Wasn't that why I was born into that time in the first place? I mean, if I really did belong here, wouldn't I have been born as soon as Kikyou died? Or at least a few years later? It was Kikyou, she had started this whole thing, why did I have to stay and clean up her mess?

There was only one way to find out which world I belonged in: to make the jewel whole again and purify it. But the problem was that Inuyasha had the last few jewel fragments. It might have been me but he didn't seem like he wanted to give them up either. How was I gonna get it from him? I most certainly could NOT in a million years kill him! I couldn't steal it either.

That only left one option. To get on Inuyasha's good side again and have him give it to me willingly. But that could take ages!! I sighed and stood up. I wasn't prepared for the rush of blood up to my head and lost my balance. I prepared for the impact of my body hitting the hard wood floor. But nothing happened.

I opened my eyes and saw red. "Feh, stupid wench. You're gonna open up your wound again. Are you trying to bleed to death?!?" he arrogantly stated. "Hmph, if it wasn't for my, you would already be dead by now. You owe me." with that, he laid me back down and exited the hut.

I owe him? I owe him?!? "Inuyasha you idiot! If it weren't for you! I wouldn't be in this condition now would I?" I yelled, knowing that he could hear me perfectly.

~*~*~*INUYASHA'S POV*~*~*~

Stupid bitch. I didn't want to hurt her, now I am positive of that, even though it makes no sense. But I'll find a way to get the jewel from her. I swear I will become a full youkai and then I will kill Sesshoumaru. What he did was completely unforgivable. He didn't have to kill her.
