It's been a while since I've update all my stories. Sorry! I've been real busy lately. And if there are any spelling errors in this chapter, I apologize for that, too. I want to get these chapters posted as soon as possible.
I also want to thank Silver Hanyou for the great idea for these coming chapters. Remember, this story was going to be a One-shot, but now I have plans for a few more chapters, depending on how long I make each one. So thanks Silver Hanyou!!
So... on with the story. A word of caution. This is get very very ugly. I'm not too sure when, yet, as I haven't even written the chapters yet. But I'll leave a warning when it gets to be ugly.

Kagome's Confession
******
Inuyasha reached the well and sniffed the air around him. Kagome's scent was gone, and Kirara's was trailing off back toward the village. He looked down in the well and saw only dirt and few scattered bones.
He wondered about the well. Kagome was able to go through it because of the Shikon no Tama. But why was he, a half demon, allowed through? It was a mystery he couldn't even begin to understand.
*I'll have to bring that question up to Kaede later* he thought, looking into the depths. He sat down on the edge of the well and stared into Inuyasha's Forest, or so the village now called it. Why? Because it was the forest he had resided in for 50 years. The forest where the good guy had defeated the bad guy. He of course, was supposed to represent the bad and Kikyo the good. It was the other way around now.
Kikyo was full of hate, and it was that hate which kept her in the living world. Why did she hate him? She knew the truth behind Naraku, yet, she still wanted to take him to hell with her. For him to be with her always.
A thought stuck him, speaking to him as if it wasn't apart of this own thoughts.
*She only wants you because SHE wants you. She doesn't want HER to take you from her, even though they are the same soul.*
His wondering mind made him think. "Kikyo... only wants me... because... Kagome...wants me?"
Inuyasha tried hard to think back to a time when Kikyo had told him that she loved him. His thoughts whirled. Not a single memory of it came across his mind. Only Kagome..only Kagome's confession to him. Even in anger, she still loved him. Not like Kikyo. She hated him, and still, did not love him. Only wanted him dead.
Only...Kagome.
Inuyasha looked down at his clawed hands. He flexed them, watching them curl in and out. He sighed.
He had always thought he owed Kikyo. But he was starting to realize that he didn't owe her anything. He had never done anything to her, except love her. She was the one that had turned on him. Even after finding out the truth or Naraku, she was still against him. She never liked to see him and Kagome together. She always tried to separate them. And it had worked, at times. But it was Kagome that always brought him out the trance Kikyo had put him in. It was Kagome he thought of when he thought of Kikyo.
He didn't love her. He didn't love Kikyo.
Only Kagome.
With that last thought, he let himself fall back, into the well, to be devoured by the bright light that let him pass between worlds.

Kagome climbed out of the well, throwing her backpack to the side. She lifted herself up and sat down against the cool rock that made the well. She sighed, wiping any remanding tears away.
*I'm so stupid* she thought. *I had so much hope, and he bashed it all in. I hate him!* Tears continued to flow as she cried.
It was hard to watch the one you love go to another. She should know. She had seem him do it plenty of times. He said he would always protect her, that he would ever let anything hurt her, yet, he himself hurt her more then any physical wound could.
Kagome picked herself up off the ground and gathered her bag. She ceased her crying as she slowly shut the well door closed her and walked toward the front door of her house. She turned the doorknob. It was unlocked, meaning someone was home.
As quietly as she could she opened the door and peeked inside. Sota was on the living room floor, dangerously close to the TV playing his video games. He looked up as she entered.
"Kagome! Hi! Back so soon!?" he beamed, not bothering to get up and greet her.
"Yah. I came back for more stuff, is all," she lied, sadly smiling at her younger brother.
"Ok." He went back to playing his game. "Mom went out for a little bit and I think Grandpa is at the shine."
Kagome nodded and started up the stairs. Half way up she turned back around to look at Sota playing his game. "Hey Sota."
Sota looked up at her. "Huh?"
Kagome hesitated. "Tell Mom and Grandpa I love them. And, "she smiled, "I love you, too."
Sota made a weird face at her. "I'll make sure I tell them that." Then he went back to his game.
Kagome smiled at her little brother. She hoped his life would never be as complicated as hers.
She continued up the stairs and into her room, making sure to lock the door behind her. She walked over to the window and looked down at the well house. All was silent. He didn't follow. She was glad. She closed the blinds and slowly started to undress. She piled her clothes up in the corner of her room and made her way to her bathroom. She started the flow of hot water into her tub and added a little bubble bath. The bubbles quickly formed. She just had to wait for the tub to fill to the brim.
She looked at herself in the mirror. Her chocolate colored eyes stared back at her sadly. She blinked, but what she saw in her own eyes was still there. Sadness. She ran her hand through her hair, her bushy bangs falling back into place. Her hair was medium in length and a tad wavy. Not straight like Kikyo's. Kikyo's hair was long and beautiful. Did she envy Kikyo for it?
*No!* Kagome shouted at herself. *I may look a little like Kikyo, but I love my hair the way it is! It gives me personality! Something Kikyo doesn't have much of!*
*But he still loves her even though* the voice in the back of head said, haunting her.
A single tear slid down her cheek. She whipped it away and got into the steaming water, ignoring what her thoughts said.
Kagome laid back, the water coming to her chin. She was relaxing. She needed to relax. Inuyasha didn't love her. Inuyasha didn't need her. Inuyasha... can... just... go... to... hell. Kagome winced at the thought.
She didn't want see him die. But she wanted him to be happy... happy with her. Not Kikyo.
"Why do you love her, Inuyasha? Why don't you understand how I feel?!" She slammed her fists down in the water, creating a large splash onto her bathroom floor.
Tears started to swell up in her eyes. "I love you, you jerk! I love you! Damnit! Why can't you just tell me you love her so that I can go kill myself." She broke down in snobs. "I can't live without you."
***
Unknown to Kagome, a certain half demon had made his way to her side of the well.
Inuyasha looked up to her bedroom window to see her curtains shut. He didn't pay much attention to it. As usual he bounded up to her window. He tried to listen for any sound of her, but the glass kept him from hearing the inside.
Very carefully, he slid the window open and peeked inside. He wanted to make sure she wasn't in there naked or something.
The smell of hot water and flowers filled his scent. He could also smell tears and Kagome's faint scent coming from her bathing room. He could hear Kagome crying pretty hard. The only thing he heard her say was "I can't live without you" before he rushed into the bathroom to confront her. He didn't care if she was naked. He didn't care how many times she sat him. They had to talk...now!

That's it for this chapter. It will get much worse following. I just wanted to hurry and post so that my wonderful viewers can read it (though I don't have too many views for this story...*sigh*)
