Inuyasha walked back through the forest to Kaede's hut, thinking about what he was going to say to Kagome and how he was going to explain himself. But his thoughts were cut short with Shippo jumping out of a tree and landing on his head.

"HI, INUYASHA!" cried the little fox demon.

"Grrrr...GET OFF ME!!" He grabbed Shippo but the collar and held him at arms length, "Where's Kagome? I need to talk to her."

Shippo's ear's picked up, "Huh? She didn't come back, we all thought she stayed with you."

All of a sudden there was a great SMACK! "That's not yours to TOUCH you pervert monk!!" Then Sango came from around the corner of the hut with a furious face. When she saw Inuyasha her face softened and she ran to greet him. "Hey Inuyasha!!" She looked around and noticed that he was alone, "Where's Kagome?"

Inuyasha was struck with fear that she might be off somewhere in the forest half dead or worse ALL dead. He looked at Sango in the eye, "You mean she didn't.....you don't know where she is?"

Sango shook her head, "No, she said that she was going to go find you last night and we haven't seen her since." Then she eyed him suspiciously, "Where WERE you last night anyhow."

Inuyasha blush a deep red, "That's none of your concern." Then the thought struck him *She must have gone home, she always goes home when she's mad at me.* "I think I know where she is at, I'll be back later." And he took off running toward the well. When he went through the well, the first person to greet him was Kagome's mom.

"Oh hi, Inuyasha." She said with a smile. But then she looked around him and the smile faded a little, "Where's Kagome?"

"Uh..." *Shit, shit, shit, what do I say?!* "Uh...she wanted me to find out if she had anymore homework" He grinned at himself *Nice save there Inuyasha* He thought.

"OH! Well in that case..." Her smile came back in full force. A few minutes, and a big stack of books later, "Here, it's nice to see that she is still concerned about her school work."

"Heh heh, yeah." He took off running back to the well with the pile of books in his hands. When he got back he dumped the books at the side of the well. Then he suddenly lifted his head. *I smell her* he sniffed again *oh good no blood* but when he smelled the air again his eyes grew red with anger. "Grrrrrrrr." *Kouga is with her.* And he took off running toward the smell.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kouga pushed a stray hair away from Kagome's eyes. Then she sat up suddenly, and looked toward a group of trees, "Inuyasha's coming."

"What?" He too, sat up.

"He's carrying some shards and I sense him coming."

"Heh heh, well now he'll be happy to see that you are not broken hearted anymore and he can continue with his dead bitch."

"No Kouga," she said, "I want to tell him alone." She didn't know why, but she did.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Alright then," he said hesitantly, "if you're sure that's what you want." He gave her a peck on the lips, "I love you, mate."

Kagome smiled at him, "Love you too, I'll meet you here a little later ok?" Kouga nodded his head while he quickly dressed. Kagome lost herself for a minute staring at him naked form when she realized that Inuyasha was getting close and she TOO was naked. She quickly got dressed and sat on the log waiting for Inuyasha.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inuyasha could tell he was close when the smell was stronger, a few minutes later he jumped up in a tree and saw Kagome alone, *Thank gods* and apparently waiting. He smiled down at her and jumped down to greet her, but his smile quickly faded. The smell hit him like a sack of potatoes. *Sex* He could smell it everywhere.

"Kagome?" He said not looking at her in the eyes. She looked nervously at him not sure of what to say. "I don't understand," he slowly said.

Kagome shot her head up, "What do you mean you don't understand?! You have chosen yours and I've chosen mine. It's that simple."

"NO!! I don't want her, Kagome!! I want you. Please forgive me, Kagome. I didn't mean what I said or what I did. I love YOU Kagome, please forgive me."

Kagome felt a slight twinge at her heart. *No* she thought, *if he did it once he'll do it again* A smile played at her lips *plus now you have Kouga and he would never do that to you.*

Inuyasha thought the smile meant that she was going to forgive him. "Oh thank you Kagome." He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her to him and kissed her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kouga's eyes widened when he saw them. He came back because he had forgotten his sword and he saw Inuyasha grab Kagome and kiss her. He looked away and felt his heart break. *So I was just a one night thing* he turned and started walking away.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

*NO* thought Kagome, she tried to push away from him but his grip was too strong, *Gods does he suck at kissing* She kept struggling with him and finally settled on kicking him in the balls. Inuyasha fell to the ground holding himself and moaning in pain.

"Asshole, stay away from me." Kagome said through clenched teeth. She then sensed shards and knew Kouga was near. She ran to him jumping over boulders and fallen trees. "KOUGA, WAIT." He didn't look at her but he stopped. She grabbed on to his arm and he pulled it away from her.

"So you're back to him? I should have known."

"No Kouga, you don--"

"I understand perfectly! Just stay away from me. I'm not just some guy that you can have your way with every time Inuyasha screws somebody else and you feel bad. Just leave me alone." He started running away from her and Kagome fell to the ground tears running down her face.
