Disclaimer: *Tear Tear* I am so sad that Inuyasha is not mine yet. HaHa Anyducks. I don't own any of the songs in this story either. Man, my life sucks.

Note to readers: Several people have asked about the songs I have already used. So here are the names and artists! She's a Butterfly by Martina McBride Broken Vow by my all time favorite artist Josh Groban

Enjoy! ************************************************************************

"Kagome you're not yourself today. I can tell by the way your dancing. Its like something's missing."

"I know Sango I know." Kagome had been up early practicing. But even after two hours she still felt like she was in a dream.

'I have to keep it together. This is for Ayumi. I could care less about Inuyasha. He doesn't matter. And after this I'll send Sango back with my pieces of the jewel shard and they can all forget about me. Now shape up! We've got a show in a few hours!' Kagome sat beside her friend. "I don't think I can do this."

"I thought you were over this! Come on! I've seen you. Your perfect! And your family was so happy at the rehearsal last night!"

"But it's different now. I don't feel right."

"You can do it. I believe in you!"

"Yea right."

"Don't tire yourself out too much. I'll be back." Sango left the studio and headed for the well. 'I need to know how he really feels. That idiot. I should kill him on the spot.' She thought as she jumped into the well.

**************~~~~~~~~~~At Kaede's Village~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~************

"INUYASHA!!!" Sango bellowed as she walked into the village. "Come out here right now!" A very scared looking Miroku walked out the hut.

"Hi Sango. What's up?"

"I need to talk to Inuyasha. Now where is he?"

"I'm right here Sango keep it down!" Inuyasha ducked this time, as Sango's fist was about to connect with his face.

"You idiot! I hope you're satisfied. You have no idea how much you upset Kagome! I've been quiet in the past just for her but this time you've gone to far! I want to know once and for all do you or do you not love Kagome?" She glared at Inuyasha.

He couldn't believe it. Sango was really upset this time. And she had every reason.

"Look I know I screwed up. I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize to me! You need to talk to Kagome. I've never seen her act like this before. And its scaring me. She's not herself."

"What do you mean she's not herself?" Miroku asked

"Well, she's quiet. Her eyes are just...dull, like there's no spark in them."

"It sounds to me like our young Kagome is suffering from a broken heart." Kaede broke in.

"Well Inuyasha there you have it! I hope you're happy." Sango was ready to kill him slowly and painfully for hurting her best friend.

"Inuyasha?" Miroku questioned. Inuyasha remained silent with his eyes to the ground.

'I can't love Kagome. She is always sitting me and fights me all the time! Thinks she's so tough. I always have to protect her in a fight, not that I mind, and all she is a jewel shard detector!

'Stop that! You know how much she has done for you. She's saved your life a few times and think of how she takes care of you when your hurt! She loves you and your just too dumb to realize it!'

"Stupid conscience." He mumbled

"What was that?" Sango asked?

"Feh."

"Fine, but don't blame me if she doesn't come back." Sango began to walk toward the well.

"You really want to die with Kikyo?" Miroku was now glaring at Inuyasha

"What are you crazy? Of course not. I just...uh..."

"What did ye talk about Inuyasha?" "Nothing."

'What was that look that just went across his face? Sadness, anger, defeat? I could get clawed for this but here goes anyway.'

"Kikyo never really loved you did she?" Miroku calmly asked. Inuyasha took off into the woods.

"Oh my. I believe we have a problem."

"Yes. Poor Kagome. We must get her to come back to talk to Inuyasha. Maybe they will stop fighting long enough for someone to admit their feelings."

"But how? Can ye get through the well?"

"I don't know. But I can try!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~**********Kagome's Time********~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mom! Mom! Have you seen Sango?"

"I thought she went out back with you?"

"She was but she left and now I can't find her. I'm worried. Miroku will never forgive me if anything happens to her!"

"Don't worry Kagome!" Shippou piped up. "She's a demon slayer. I think she can handle herself."

"Your right Shippou. Sorry I freaked. I'm really nervous."

"Why don't you go relax in the tub? We don't have to leave for several hours yet. Just try and take it easy."

"Ok mom."

~~~~~~****Outside****~~~~~

"That jerk. He's so insensitive."

"Sango!" She turned

"Miroku? How did.I mean what are you doing here?"

"I must speak with Kagome. We need to get her back to talk to Inuyasha. I have some information but she needs to hear it from him."

"What's this information about?"

"Kikyo never loved Inuyasha."

"Whoa whoa you lost me."

"I know it sounds strange but trust me. But we need her to talk to him now!"

"Alright come on in."

"Oh Sango Kagome was looking for you. Whose your friend?"

"Oh sorry. This is Miroku. Where is Kagome now?"

"She's taking a bath."

"Well I must pass on my information then."

"Or not! I'll get her. You wait here! Shippou you are to stand guard."

"Shippou is ready to serve!" The little fox smiled at Miroku.

"I can't win."

Sango ran upstairs to get Kagome.

"We have a visitor. I need you to come down now."

"Uhh ok. Be right there." 'Ohh just as I was starting to relax!'

"Miroku? How on earth did you get here?"

"Long story. Look I need you to come back now."

"I am not going back.ever."

"But Kagome."

"I'm sorry Sango. I just can't."

"But I need your help." Miroku thought for a moment. "Kaede is sick and there is no one to take care of her! She needs you!"

Kagome was already out the door.

"Why didn't you say so? Come on!" The group headed back to the well. Kagome was the first one through and sprinted for the village. She was greeted by a surprised Kaede.

"Heavens child are ye alright? Ye look as though ye are being attacked by a demon!"

"Kaede? Are you ok? I heard you were sick."

"Why no child I am alright."

"Oh really? MIROKU!!!"

"Uhh.yes Kagome?"

"Ok, you tricked my into coming back? Now what's the deal? I have something very important to do tonight!"

"I'm sorry for this Kagome. But it was the only way we could get you back here to talk to Inuyasha."

"Well sorry but I am leaving." She started for the well.

"Miroku are you just going to let her go?"

"I bet she'll talk to him anyway. Or he'll find her. I'm sure he has caught her scent by now."

***********~~~~~~~~~~In the forest~~~~~~~~~~~*************

Kagome sat under a tree. 'This is where I first met him.' She thought to herself. She watched as a butterfly landed on a nearby flower before taking flight once more.

'She looks so peaceful.' Inuyasha thought from his branch. 'I guess I should talk to her.'

'And tell her you love her.'

'Will you shut up!'?

'Nope. You better talk to her before she's gone forever.'

He dropped to the ground right beside Kagome.

"Inuyasha you scared me! I thought you were a demon!" She said panicked. "Don't do that!"

"Umm.sorry."

They sat in silence for several moments. Inuyasha was the first to speak.

"Umm..you aren't really leaving are you?"

"And why shouldn't I? It's not like I'm needed or anything."

"Yes you are! We couldn't find the jewel without you!"

"So that's it? I'm a jewel detector. Just like I always said."

"No! You're more than that. If you weren't here who would protect Shippou? Sango wouldn't have anyone to talk to and who would help Kaede out? We all need you Kagome. I.I need you."

"You need me?"

"Well yea. I mean without you I would still be stuck to this tree. I never had friends until I met you. After my mother died no one ever cared about me. Nobody wanted to stupid half breed."

Kagome had tears in her eyes. "But what about Kikyo? She obviously cared about you."

"She lied."

"What?"

"She only wanted my help in purifying the jewel. If I had become human the jewel would vanish. She never loved me."

"I'm so sorry."

They were silent once more.

"Kagome."

"Yes."

"I uhh.umm.that is."

"What is it Inuyasha?" She stared into his Amber eyes.

"I.I.. I love you."

Don't worry I just felt like leaving a bit of a cliffie! HeHe. There will be at least one more chapter. Gotta cover the concert right?
