I Won't Let You Go
Chapter Three
Kagome . . . Why?
He sat on her bed, his mind racing at the scene he had just saw. Inu- Yasha hated to admit it, but seeing what he had just seen, had hurt him more than he could ever imagine. It was as if an unseen hand had just ripped out his beating heart, thrown it to the ground and crushed it with it's foot. He tried reasoning with himself that what he saw wasn't real, that right now he was just in a bad dream . . . no . . . nightmare. Slowly bringing up his hand, he pinched his left cheek, and finally came to the conclusion that he wasn't dreaming. His ears drooped down and he lowered his head. ^Why? Why do I feel this way? I mean shouldn't I be happy that Kagome found someone to love her and take care of her instead of the wolf boy?^ thought Inu-Yasha. Suddenly this weird feeling came over him . . . he suddenly felt like crying . . . ^Do . . do I love Kagome? But what about Kikyo? No . . . she is dead, and now I realize that thing walking around really isn't her, but I want her to rest in peace . . . and the only way to do that was to go to hell with her. No! I don't want to go with her anymore . . . I want to live! I want to live and be with Kagome!^ Inu-Yasha felt like such a fool. He had waited too long to talk to her. He had figured that she would always be by his side until his dying day, but now that promise was shattered. Inu-Yasha had wanted so much to tell her that he loved her. Could he blame her for falling in love with someone else? No, he couldn't really. He had broken her heart three years ago when he had chosen Kikyo. At the time he did have feelings for her, but he wasn't quite sure how strong they were. He had thought he would never see her again, but was grateful that she had come back to stay by his side. After that, he had come to fall in love with her, and not Kikyo. Unshed tears burned in his eyes as he tried to hold them back, but her couldn't. Tears silently slipped down his cheeks and landed softly on his hands
"Mom, I'm home!"
Inu-Yasha's ears perked up at the sound of Kagome's voice, and he waited for her to enter her room, but he could hear the conversation downstairs.
"Mom, I'm engaged to Hojo,"
"Oh that's wonderful sweet heart,"
"That is, if I'm allowed to marry your daughter that is?"
"Of course you are my boy!"
"He sis, does that mean that Hojo is going to be my brother?"
"In a way Sota,"
"Well darling I must be going home, I'll see you in the morning,"
There was more chit chat but Inu-Yasha didn't want to listen. Finally he heard footsteps approaching Kagome's room, and waited for her to enter. The door slowly opened and closed as Kagome entered her room. She flicked the lights on and was about to throw her purse on her desk, but stopped dead in her tracks as she saw Inu-Yasha on her bed.
"Inu-Yasha? When did you get here?"
Inu-Yasha didn't know what to say, ^Should I ask her about the proposal? No, not right now tomorrow, I will talk to her tomorrow^ "I just arrived,"
"I see,"
"I just came to see if you were alright, when I returned to the hut I noticed you were gone,"
"Well, I just came back home. Look I don't mean to be rude, but I have to go to bed, I have some news to tell the others tomorrow, so I'll see you then?"
"Sure," Inu-Yasha said in barely a whisper. With out another word he left and headed for the well.
**************************************************************************** ****
Sango stared at Inu-Yasha who was perched on Kaede's roof, and figured he looked depressed as ever. "What do you suppose happened to him?"
Miroku leaned in so Inu-Yasha wouldn't hear, "I'm not sure, he was gone most of the night, do you think Kagome and him had another fight?"
"Shippo already said no to that. Apparently Inu-Yasha went to visit Kagome, and that she is returning today,"
"Well then, I'm out of idea's,"
"Maybe we should try to cheer him up,"
"I wouldn't if I were you," said another voice.
Sango and Miroku turned around to see Kaede behind them.
"Why not Kaede?" asked Miroku.
"As long as I've known Inu-Yasha I have never seen him this depressed. Take a look at his eyes for instance,"
Sango and Miroku looked hard at Inu-Yasha and noticed that his golden eyes were glassy, as if he were on the urge of crying.
"What do you suppose happened to him then Kaede?" whispered Sango.
"Perhaps he had an encounter with my sister and something terrible happened to her or . . ."
"Hey guys!"
Everyone turned towards the voice and saw Kagome heading their way.
"Good afternoon lady Kagome!" called Miroku.
Shippo and Kirara came bounding out of Kaede's hut to greet their friend. Inu-Yasha however remained on the roof.
"Why are you back so soon?" asked Sango.
"I just came back for the day to tell you guys some news," said Kagome.
"Must be pretty good news since you have a big smile on your face," commented Kaede.
Kagome laughed and nodded. "Let's head back into the hut and I'll tell everybody,"
As they headed back to the hut, Kagome noticed Inu-Yasha on the roof, "Come on in Inu-Yasha, I want you to hear too,"
"I can hear from here,"
Kagome noticed the sadness in his voice, and that he looked pretty depressed. ^Maybe Kikyo said something to him last night^ she thought as she entered the hut.
Everyone had taken a seat on the floor and waited for Kagome to tell them the good news.
"Well, first off you have to know I have been seeing someone in my era for a few years now," said Kagome.
"Alright, go on," urged Sango.
"Well last night, he asked me to marry him . . ."
"And?" asked everyone.
"I said yes,"
"Why Kagome that is great news," said Kaede.
"Congratulations," said Sango giving her friend a hug.
"When is the wedding?" asked Miroku.
"It's going to be next month since we need to finish our tests, and other stuff that you guys wouldn't understand,"
"Am I going to be invited?" asked Shippo.
"Of course you are going to be, everyone is invited," said Kagome.
"So what is the lucky guys name," asked Miroku.
"Hojo, I've known him ever since I was little, and we've been friends for ages. Well I'm going to stay the night and then head back tomorrow,"
"Well then Kagome, care to come get some herbs with me, then you can tell me more about this guy," said Sango.
"Sure," said Kagome as she and Sango headed out to the forest. Kagome looked over her shoulder expecting to see Inu-Yasha, but he had disappeared. Shrugging her shoulders, she followed Sango to the forest.
As soon as Kagome and Sango was gone did Miroku finally spoke, "Now we know why Inu-Yasha was in such a depressing mood,"
"Indeed," nodded Kaede.
"By the look on his face this afternoon, I imagine that he must of witnessed the proposal with his own two eyes,"
"However, can you blame Kagome for finding someone else?" asked Kaede.
"No, not really. I'm surprised that she came back at all after what Inu- Yasha decided three years ago, but it looks like this situation does effect him greatly,"
"I do feel sorry for him, a little anyway," admitted Kaede.
"I'll go talk to him tonight, when the girls go to the hot springs," said Miroku.
"Good idea, I'll get some stew ready for lunch,"
**************************************************************************** ****
"So . . . Kagome?" asked Sango.
"Yes?"
"Do you really love this man?"
Kagome was silent before answering, "I do, at least I think I do," She sat down on a rock and stared at her shoes.
"Kagome?" asked Sango as she sat beside her friend.
"It's just . . . I still have feelings for Inu-Yasha . . . but I know he can never love me back, he loves Kikyo . . . he's already chosen,"
"Kagome, why don't you tell Inu-Yasha what you feel for him? Maybe, just maybe . . ."
"No Sango!" said Kagome cutting her friend off, "I don't want my heart broken again. He might have some feelings for me, but he loves Kikyo. Hojo loves me, and I . . love him,"
Kagome leaned her head down and started to cry. Sango hugged her friend, and waited for the tears to stop.
"I tried to forget him, I really tried to just see him as a friend, but I can't . . ."
"It will be alright Kagome," whispered Sango.
"I want you guys to come to the wedding, and then . . . I won't be able to see you again. Hojo doesn't know about the well, so I won't be able to visit you,"
"Kagome, are you sure you're making the right choice?"
Kagome nodded. "It's the only way I can forget about Inu-Yasha,"
TBC . . .
Dun dun dun . . . . . . . another cliff hanger I guess. Don't worry people, Inu-Yasha will make an attempt to change Kagome's mind, but that is all I will say. Please review, this story all depends on you people!!!!
