Sadly I still do not own Inuyasha. Or any of the songs used for that
matter! Darn it! This chapter is dedicated to Linds just because of the
one quote from a Knight's Tale! And to those who reviewed so far! Thanks
so much for the great reviews!

'Almost two weeks.' Miroku thought looking up at the sky. He was getting worried that the girls really weren't coming back. He realized that he hadn't seen Inuyasha in a while. Maybe he went to get them.
~****~**********~***********Inuyahsa**********~*************~**********~
'Maybe she isn't coming back. I was pretty mean this time. I don't know what came over me. I hate her right?"
********************~~~~~~~~~~Kagome's Time~~~~~~~~******************
"Do you think this will work?" Sango questioned her friend.
"I hope so. Shippou and Kirara will enjoy the show. Even if we have to deal with the guys for a little bit."
"Here we go." They jumped into the well landing on the other side of time.
Inuyasha caught her scent. She was close. And coming his way. He dropped from his tree and stared her in the face. "What are you doing here Kikyo?"
"Why hello to you to Inuyasha. I thought you would have been happy to see me."
'She's right. I should be happy. But I don't want to see her right now. I.wait? Can I actually miss Kagome this much?'
"Feh." He crossed his arms and stared at the ground.
"I must ask you some questions."
'Great.' He thought.
~~~~~~~~~~*************At the village************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sure I'll come with you Kagome!" Shippou leaped into her awaiting arms and hugged her tight.
"It will be fun. You can hang out with Souta."
"Come on Kirara your coming too!" Kirara was already curled up in her master's lap happy to have her back.
"Umm.where's Inuyasha?"
"Where else. In his tree." Kaede replied
"I'll be right back." Kagome headed off into the woods. 'What on earth am I doing? He's the one that should be coming to me! Ugh he's so stubborn!'
She heard voices. She followed them to a small clearing. 'Did he really ask Kikyo for her help? No, he wouldn't do that. He's just talking to her. Then why is he standing so close to her? And that look on his face.'
"Why won't you let me protect you?"
"Because I don't need it Inuyasha! I can handle myself. You will just get in the way."
"But." he looked down. He then wrapped his hands around her and hugged her tightly. "I don't want anything to happen to you."
She couldn't stand it. She took off in a dead run for the village. "Sango lets go now!" Sango gave her friend a surprised look but when she saw Kagome's state of distress she figured Inuyasha had upset her again. "Right behind you." She scooped up Shippou and took off after Kagome.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*************Inuyasha~~~~~~~~~~**************
Kikyo pushed Inuyasha back. "I am not who I used to be. I have no feelings for you anymore. Just stay out of my way." With that her soul gatherers picked her up and took her away. Inuyasha stood starting at the sky for what seemed like an eternity.
'Why aren't I heartbroken about this? I should be devastated. But." He took off toward the village.
***~~~~~~~~~~~*******Kagome's Time*******~~~~~~~~~~****
'I hate him.' She thought. "Sango I am gonna go for a run. I'll be back in a little bit."
"Okay. I'll introduce Shippou and Kirara to your family." Kagome took off toward the back of the property. 'She'll tell me when she's ready.' Sango reasoned with herself. And set off for the house.
Kagome ran and ran and ran. She cut across the small stream and through the flower garden. She was headed toward the forest at the far end of the property. Her favorite refuge. She didn't stop until she got there. She dropped, panting, to the ground. "How could he!" She sobbed. "I love him so much! But he doesn't love me and never will. So this is what a broken heart feels like."
************~~~~~~~~~~~~Back in the village~~~~~~~~~~~~~************
"Ye just missed them Inuyasha."
"Huh?" He hadn't realized how deep in thought he was.
"Lady Kagome and Sango were just here. They wanted Shippou and Kirara to go to Kagome's time for some reason."
'How could I have missed her! Her scent is all over the place!' He mentally slapped himself.
"Inuyasha?"
"What ya old hag?"
"What did you do to upset Kagome so? She came back after looking for you nearly in tears."
"Hey I didn't do anything! I didn't even see her." He paused. 'Oh no. What if she saw me with Kikyo? She must have.'
"You were with Kikyo weren't you?" Miroku questioned. When Inuyasha didn't respond he took that as a yes.
****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kagome's Time~~~~~~~~~~~**************
A light rain had started to fall as Kagome slowly made her way back to the house. Her heart was broken into pieces so small they could be passed through the eye of a needle. 'But I can survive! I have to get it together. The concert is tomorrow night!' She continued walking toward home. 'What was that song Ayumi always sang to me when a boy upset me.'
'Tell me her name
I want to know
The way she looks
And where you go
I need to see her face
I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end
Tell me again
I want to hear
Who broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night
When I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own
I'll let you go
I'll let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I'll let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow'
She had reached her house. Sango was standing on the back porch with a towel.
"Get in here before you get sick!" Kagome was grateful that Sango was there. She would tell her later. After a nice hot bath.
*************~~~~~~~~~~Inuyasha's Time~~~~~~~~~~**********
Inuyasha was once again chopping up trees in anger. 'She probably thinks I actually asked Kikyo to help me since she wouldn't! Today is the worst day of my life! Next to being pinned to a tree of course.'
"Inuyasha are you going to get them or what?" Miroku prepared to defend himself from the Hanyou's oncoming attacks.
"Leave me alone! I need to think!"
"What's there to think about? Tell Kagome what you told me and I bet she will forgive you! And tell Sango I'm sorry while you're at it."
"Oh no! You're coming with me tomorrow to apologize! I ain't doing your work for you!"
*************~~~~~~~~~~Kagome's Time~~~~~~~~~~~~*******************
Kagome slept fitfully. She had told Sango everything she saw. But it was still haunting her. She snuggled closer to Shippou and hoped that she would fall asleep so she could forget about everything.
'Almost two weeks.' Miroku thought looking up at the sky. He was getting worried that the girls really weren't coming back. He realized that he hadn't seen Inuyasha in a while. Maybe he went to get them.
