A/n:
Thanks for the reviews. Everyone seems to be freaked out by Kagome's situation. Thanks for the suggestions but I have a good idea of where I want the story to go right now, well at least until I got writer's block, and a slight memory loss. I swear every time I get 2 chapters of a story out then this happens.
And you guys are gonna get so made at me and probably flame me for what I'm going to do. Sorry. But this is angst after all.

Me no own Inu-yasha. But wouldn't he look cute on a leash if I did? Hehe.
Deconstructing Kagome-
Part 3- Why.
Inuyasha shifted on the roof below him. Guilt weighed heavily on his head as he listened to the others sleeping inside the hut. Kagome was awake and he knew it instantly. When she had asked him where he was he hadn't answered. What was he supposed to say? 'Oh, I was off with your favorite person in the world.' Yeah that would make her feel so much better. So he simply changed the subject, telling her she needed rest.
The hanyou jumped down from the Kaede's roof; landing effortlessly on the ground, he entered the hut. Trying his best not to wake the others, he strolled over to Kagome and sat down next to her.
"I know you're awake Kagome. You don't have to pretend." He told her.
Her eyes flickered open. She looked up into his handsome face, but he couldn't look her in the eye.
Shame.So much shame.
"Inuyasha," she whispered breaking the silence. "Where are the shards? Were they taken from me?" She asked.
He looked up at her confused. "You mean you don't know?"
"No, why?"
"Can't you sense them? They're right here," he said pulling them out of her yellow backpack.
"Oh," was her reply. Inuyasha was watching her out of the corner of his eye. Sadness washed over her features.
"What's wrong Kagome?" He asked. 'Please don't let her start crying..'
As if on cue, silent tears escaped her eyes. 'The gods are against me.' He thought.
"I can no longer sense them. .. Even when they are this close to me." She reached out taking the small bottle from Inuyasha's clawed hand. Shock and confusion swept over him, he tried to hide it from her. But she had already noticed. "I am no longer needed here." She whispered staring at the bottle as the light from the fire reflected through the crystals.
"Kagome.." He couldn't say anything else. He tried to gather his thoughts. He wanted to tell her no, that she was needed here, that he needed her here with him. But the words wouldn't form. He couldn't express what he was feeling. Finally after what seemed like forever to both of them, all he could say was, "I'll kill the bastard who did this to you."
Kagome sighed and closed her eyes.
She knew she was way too weak to leave them. She would need to rest a little longer.
After Inuyasha was sure that Kagome was once again asleep he left the hut and headed for the bone eater's well. The hanyou stopped for a moment looking down into the darkness, he knew this wouldn't stop Kagome's pain but at least, at least whoever did this to her wouldn't be able to do it to someone else. Besides that, no one touches his Kagome, and for that they would pay with their life.

When Inuyasha stumbled back to the village later that day he was shocked by what he saw.
Outside of Kaede's hut lay Sango. Her hiraikotsu rested a few feet away from her, obviously discarded during the battle. One solitary arrow was lodged into her right arm, but there were many cuts and bruises decorating her body. Inuyasha fell by her side and gently shook her until she began to stir. "Sango."
"Mmhmm..." she moaned, but finally her eyes opened. "Where is Kagome?" She muttered.
"I don't know. What happened?" Blood dripped from his arm as he asked this. His vision blurred slightly but he tried to keep himself in check at least until he was sure that everyone else was okay.
"Inuyasha, you're bleeding," she whispered.
"So are you. But what happened?"
"Kagome.Kagome.She." Sango's eyes closed once more as she lost consciousness.
"Sango! Sango! Dammit!" Inuyasha shouted shaking the girl violently.
"Stop it Inuyasha, she is injured can you not see that?" Miroku appeared in the doorway of the hut.
"What happened here Miroku? Where is Kagome?" Inuyasha shouted instantly regretting it as he clutched his stomach in pain.
"Kagome attacked us Inuyasha. We tried to stop her from leaving and she turned on us. As for where she is, I have no idea."
Inuyasha gaped at him. 'Kagome.attacked.. everyone...?'
"It's true Inuyasha," Kaede said joining Miroku in the doorway.
"Are you all alright?" He managed to ask.
"Yes, I think so. Inuyasha what happened to you? Why are you covered in blood?"
"I went to Kagome's time.." He muttered rising from the ground using the Tetsusaiga as a cane. "I have to find her!" He made it a few feet before his body gave out on him. He had lost way too much blood, and darkness claimed him before he even hit the ground.

"Fwhat the heeeell? H-Hhalloweeeeen's alfready over loooozzer!" The man's words were slurred and as he staggered in the alleyway Inuyasha grimaced.
This drunken loser had hurt Kagome. He had caused her so much pain and anguish. He had taken away her purity, and broken her heart and yet here he was drunk off his ass, not a care in the world. This man was pathetic, and Inuyasha hated him even more for being a weakling. If this man were a demon or some other evil-supernatural thing he would have understood it better. But how, how had someone so cowardly, so wretched, gotten the better of Kagome? She was so pure of heart, so full of life, and where had that gotten her? Inuyasha had managed to protect her for so long, and he always thought that she was at least safer in her own time, but she wasn't safe anywhere.
He gritted his teeth, not even bothering to draw the Tetsusaiga because it would be worthless since this man was after all a human. Inuyasha dropped the blade, cracked his knuckles and revealed his claws.
"Hey man, what the hell are you anyway?" The man seemed to have sobered up in an instant. Sweat ran down his face, and he began to stutter uncontrollably.
"D-D-Dude, w-w-w-w-hat did I d-d-o y-you?"
"You hurt a friend of mine." Inuyasha spat preparing to pounce.
"Uh, wh-h-o's your friend? H-How'd I hurt 'em?" The man asked trying to buy time. He reached behind himself fumbling slightly with something.
"You don't even remember her?! It was only a few hours ago!" Inuyasha roared.
"N-Nooo.H-how do you know it was m-me?" He sputtered still trying desperately to get at whatever was in the back of his pants
"Because," Inuyasha bent low, his voice raspy as he spoke. "Her scent is all over you, and for that you will die!"
He sprang into the air, and as he did so the man pulled a strange looking object from his back and aimed it at Inuyasha. The hanyou laughed, "What kind of stupid thing is that?"
The man smiled as he fired the gun but considering that he was still mildly intoxicated his aim was horrible and the gunshot exploded through Inuyasha's left arm. The hanyou dropped down to the ground in front of the man, his face hidden in the shadows of his hair. His breathing became deep and rough. The man smiled drunkenly as he again took aim at Inuyasha's head. A growl was heard low in Inuyasha's throat as he looked up at the bastard who had broken Kagome. Red flashed before his eyes and the last thing he remembered were the screams of the man and the sound of others coming from behind him.
Inuyasha awoke drenched in a cold sweat.
"I think your fever has broken Inuyasha." Kaede said as she wiped the sweat from his brow.
"K-Kagome..." he whispered.
"She's not here Inuyasha. But I know that she is safe, rest now child. These wounds are strange, I think it will take longer for you to heal..."
"K-Kagome..." He called out to her before his eyes closed again. "Why..."
