A/N: I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA.
Chapter 3: A Blow to the Heart
Oh Inuyasha, please be safe! Kagome fervently hoped as she stared out into the forest. Greatly concerned for Inuyasha's safety, she went in search of Sango so she could borrow Kirara.
"Umm. Sango, can I borrow Kirara for a little while?"
"Sure," replied Sango trying not to pry, "Do you need any help Kagome?"
"Me? No! Why would you think that?"
"Are you looking for Inuyasha? I saw him head toward the forest."
"Why would I be looking for Inuyasha?" Kagome said blushingly. "Bye!" Kagome scurried off toward the forest with Kirara as Sango stares after them.
Kirara transforms and Kagome gets on, "Come on Kirara, lets go. Fly up above the tree's and drop me off at the well." I might as well begin to search for him at the well since I know that place the best. I hope he's okay. It'll be all my fault if he's hurt again.
Inuyasha wrapped his arms fondly around the dead miko's body. (I'm saying dead because, well,…hello…she is dead! Wake up Inuyasha!) He sat with his back against a tree with his face nestled in her hair.
Kirara dropped Kagome off near the Bone Eaters Well but didn't leave. Kagome crept cautiously through the forest fearful that the monster was still lurking around. Her heart beat quicker with each rustle in the leaves. Then her breath caught in her throat as she approached a clearing. There snuggled up in a corner were her beloved Inuyasha that she was so worried about and Kikyou. Never suspecting him to do such a thing with her in this condition, her heart shattered.
No. No no no. This isn't happening again. He is so transfixed with her that he doesn't even sense Kirara and me. He doesn't care. I'm such a baka (moron). .
She froze as she saw him move.
Inuyasha lifted his head, still not noticing Kagome. "Kikyou, I'm sorry for keeping away from you. I love you. I always will." He pulls Kikyou into a kiss. (Inuyasha, you mindless poophead! YOU LOVE KAGOME!) (Kat's comment while editing: How very TRUE!)
Tears gushed out of Kagome's eyes. She turned and fled toward the well. Kirara glared angrily at Inuyasha and followed.
Stumbling and falling, the deep gash at her side broke open. Holding in a sob because she didn't want to disturb Inuyasha's peace, she staggered to get up. Kirara gently picked Kagome up and took off toward the hut. A small trail of blood and tears followed them as Kagome sobbed with grief and pain, the blood now flowing freely once again.
I have to go home. I want to go home.
Kirara landed in front of Sango with Kagome weakly clinging to her back. Sango gasped with shock and quickly assisted her friend to a bed inside. Picking the perfect time to enter, Miroku and Shippou walked into the hut chattering. They gaped when they saw that Kagome was bleeding again! Before they could say a word, Sango "shooed" them out the door.
Kagome was laying on the bed with silent tears trickling from her eyes as Sango cleansed her wounds. Her physical pain was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.
How could I be so stupid to think he could love someone like me. I'm not even of his time.
Later after Kagome tearfully told Sango of what happened.
Sango told Kagome to rest a while and then leaves the hut. Miroku and Shippou were of course listening from the outside and knew what happened as well. Sango told them not to mention anything to Inuyasha or Kagome because Kagome may not want them to know. Miroku and Shippou promised.
I'm gonna hurt Inuyasha. That stupid idiot. (Shippou) (Kat's comment: A little redundant, ne?) ) (Gloria: I like it that way!)
Kagome's so understanding and sincere. How could he be so insensitive! (Miroku)
Back at the hut, Kagome cried continuously. I have to stay. I have to find the jewels. If not for Inuyasha then for Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and myself. I can't let Naraku win. (Good girl!)
Inuyasha finally returned as the sky was darkening. They all sat by the fire eating dinner. Sango and Miroku purposely placed Inuyasha as far away from Kagome as possible. Sango shot venomous glares at him.
What's wrong with everyone? If I tell them, they'll be angry with me. Wait, what am I worrying about. I don't care what they think. It's my life. My business.
Across the fire, Kagome kept her eyes downcast. Her eyes were still red and puffy.
"I'll see you later Sango, I'm tired so I'm going to bed early." Kagome stood and turned to leave. "Excuse me."
As soon as she was out of sight, Shippou launched himself at Inuyasha's head with a cry of fury.
Inuyasha growled though the ball of fur, "What the hell do you think you're doing! Get off me!" Inuyasha tore Shippou from his face and was about to pound him into the dirt when he was rescued. Miroku had hit Inuyasha right on the head with his staff and Sango was about to do the same with her fist. Inuyasha glares at them all evilly.
"What's gotten into you guys?!"
Sango stomped off and Shippou followed her. Miroku yelled back over his shoulder as he headed off, "Figure it out for yourself."
Inuyasha sat by himself pondering what they were so angry about. They couldn't possibly know could they? I didn't sense anyone around at the time. Impossible. They must be angry because of something else.
That night as they all slept, Kagome tiptoed out of bed and snuck sniffling through the moonlight toward the well.
Inuyasha woke and saw Kagome sneak by. What does she think she's doing!
Kagome made her way toward the well but then Inuyasha suddenly grabbed her arm and yanked her back. Kagome began to bleed. This wouldn't have happened if she hadn't broken open the wound earlier. She let out a hiss of pain. Inuyasha's eyes widened, and he steadied her as she began to sway. Her blood level was low. Kagome still had her back to him.
"Where do you think you're going Kagome?"
"I was just back home to get some more bandages. Let go of me." Kagome said in a tremulous voice.
I mustn't be a burden to him. I can't force him to choose between Kikyou and me. He'd choose Kikyou anyways and I can't stand that. I won't let him see my tears. I have to go.
Inuyasha picked up on the tremors in her tone and the scent of tears. He whipped her around roughly. He looked at her tear-stained face with surprise and is (as always) no longer irritated with her.
"Kagome, what's wrong!"
Why would he kiss me and then a few days later, kiss Kikyou? Kagome's mind churned.
"Kagome, look at me." Inuyasha lifted her head up so they were looking into each other's eyes. "Tell me what's wrong."
He's not even admitting it! How could he lie to me like this? New tears poured down her face, droplets falling from her chin like dew. Inuyasha stared bewildered.
"SIT! I hate you Inuyasha, I hate you!"
Inuyasha fell sprawled out on the floor and snarled in irritation. Peeking through the grass as well as he could, he saw Kagome run to the well, bleeding from the side and sobbing.
Jumping into the well and landing in her era, Kagome wept uncontrollably with misery. She quickly ascended the ladder out of the well and ran home. Unlocking the door to her home silently, she stole into her bedroom, rewrapped her side, and flopped into bed. She fell into an exhausted sleep.
Finally released from Kagome's shout, Inuyasha got up.
She said she hated me. Feh! What do I care!
Inuyasha slipped into the well and went to Kagome's bedroom window. He opened the window and climbed soundlessly into her room. Inuyasha looked upon Kagome's shuddering weeping form even in her sleep.
What have I done that makes her so unhappy that she cries in her sleep?
"Oh Inuyasha, why?" Kagome murmured in her sleep, "Why? Why do you do this to me when I love you so?"
Inuyasha's eyes widened to the size of saucers. His astonishment complete, he leaped out the window.
