Kagome watched from the ground as he ran from her. "No, please." She slowly said under her breath. Then she felt a hand on her shoulder and pushed it off. "I said stay away from me Inuyasha," She looked up at him and gave him the biggest glare she could muster hoped it showed through all the tears, "and I meant it." She stood up and walked away from him back to Kaede's hut.

*She's just angry right now.* Inuyasha thought *She'll go back to being her old self before long, she always does.* But even as he thought it he wasn't sure of himself.

Sango looked up to see Kagome walking toward them. "KAGOME!" she called running up to her. But she slowed and stopped when she noticed that tears were falling down her face and staining the ground. Then she picked up the pace and jogged to her, "Kagome, what happened? What's wrong?"

"I'll tell you later, Sango." Sango nodded and looked past her to see Inuyasha coming out of the woods in a similar state to Kagome's. She decided that she would try to get some answers out of him.

"Inuyasha, what happened? Where was she?" Inuyasha turned red and gave a quick 'Feh.' *Ok....I guess I WILL find out later*

"KAGOME!!!" cried Shippo. He ran up and jumped on her shoulder. She forced a smile and scratched behind his ears but he didn't pay attention. He put his little paw on one of her tears, "Kagome, why are you crying?" He looked behind her and saw Inuyasha, "Grrrrrrr...did Inuyasha do something to hurt you?"

Kagome looked back at Inuyasha who was starring at her and then he quickly looked away. "Yeah," she looked back at Shippo, "you could say that."

"Do you want me to go yell at him?" snarled the little cub.

She forced another smile and tried to giggle, "No that's ok, Shippo. It will be ok." *At least I hope so.* She could feel more tears coming up behind the old ones and put him down on the ground so that she wouldn't frighten him again. *Gods, Kouga, don't be mad at me. Please don't be mad at me anymore, I didn't do it, I didn't want him to kiss me. I love you.* She rubbed the tears from her eyes and sat down at the fire.

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

*Why did she do this?* thought Kouga. *She DID love him first, but I thought that it was over with him. I guess old crushes do die hard.* He clutched his chest and looked down to where his heart would be. *So this is what it feels like to have your heart broken, well.....it sucks.* He got up and started running to no place in particular, trying to wear away the pain.

Inuyasha looked up to see Kagome trying to wrestle down more tears but they still flowed. Sango sat beside her and hugged her while she cried, occasionally giving Inuyasha dirty looks. Kagome had told her what had happened and she stood by her side and comforted her when she cried that day. Even Miroku took Kagome's side.

"Inuyasha, it's your OWN fault all of this happened." Miroku said. Inuyasha picked up his ears to listen to what he already knew. "You chose to be with Kikyo. She saw you two together, heard what you said, and now she has chosen Kouga."

Inuyasha lowered his ears again and stared at the fire, *She could have been mine. But the monk is right, it's my own fault.*
