Is There no Hope?
Chapter 2
***
Kagome slowly backed away and ran back to the camp, oblivious to the two lovers standing there. She stumbled her way back into the camp and quietly slipped into her sleeping bag. She didn't want to wake anyone, mainly because she didn't want to talk.
K: //He loves her. He loves her and not me. I'm nothing more than a friend to him.//
Tears fell silently down her face and she rolled over. She couldn't let anyone see the tears. She wiped them from her face and held in a sob.
K: //He left me for HER! She's DEAD! He was seeing her behind my back! How could you betray me like this Inuyasha?//
She wanted to hit something. She was so angry. Then her anger faded and was replaced with doubt.
K: //What if he left her because of me? What if I am not good enough? Am I so unworthy in his eyes? After all I'm nothing more than his 'shard detector.'//
Kagome was startled out of her thoughts by a noise. She wiped the tears away and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep. She heard Inuyasha walk up. He stopped right by her, and she tensed. She tensed up, but other than that there was no sign of her being awake. Slowly, Inuyasha backed away and she heard him jump into the tree. Kagome tried to think again about the current situation, but found that she couldn't with the main conflict sitting up in a tree above her. She slowly found her way into a fitful sleep.
***
"Hey Miroku," Sango whispered to Miroku. "Don't you think that Kagome is acting weird? I mean she hasn't been her normal happy self today. Plus she's been avoiding everyone. Even Shippou." She moves away from him swiftly when she saw his hand start to wander. Miroku stood up as soon as she moved and bent in to continue the conversation.
"Indeed Lady Sango I have," he whispered a little to close for Sango's comfort. "She has been avoiding us all and looks sad." He paused and tried his luck by moving a little closer. "It seems that our extremely dense hanyou friend has done something stupid again. Something stupid enough to make Kagome avoid us all." Just then a resounding smack sounded in the air. Miroku's hand had wandered to Sango's backside, and she had slapped him. Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippou stopped what they were doing and looked, but stayed away.
"Thank you for your observations on the matter Miroku," Sango said tightly. "But if you ever do that again I swear to you that I will cut your arms off to make sure your hands don't wander and find their way to any part of my body again." Then she spun on her heel and went to the other side of the camp. Miroku got up and rubbed his cheek where a bright red hand mark now resided.
"Whatever you say m'lady," he muttered.
They continued on the hunt for the jewel shards Kagome had sensed the other day in an uncomfortable silence. Shippou stayed next to Kilala instead of riding with Kagome, which didn't go unnoticed by Inuyasha. In fact he had also observed Kagome's silence. After a while he looked back. The gang was a far way back behind Kagome. Inuyasha slowed his pace so Kagome would catch up to him. For a while he ignored her, walking beside her. Then he decided to speak.
"Is anything wrong Kagome? You've been quiet this morning," he said quietly. He didn't expect Kagome to stop though.
"Inuyasha do you love me?" she blurted out.
K: //This is the only way to know...//
Inuyasha was stunned. Shippou had heard what she had asked and told Sango. Sango then stopped them and pulled them over to the side.
"We're staying here for a while. They are going to want to work this out alone," she said.
"I think we should at least get closer so we can all hear better," Miroku said. Shippou nodded with him. Sango was also curious so she agreed and they inched closer.
Meanwhile Inuyasha hadn't said anything.
"Wh– what do you mean?" he stuttered.
"Do you love me Inuyasha? Don't lie either because I will no if you lie to me," she warned him.
I: //I guess she does know. I couldn't keep the secret forever, but I wanted to tell her myself. Not for her to find out.//
He took a deep breath. "I was beginning to until Kikyou came back." There were going to be no lies. He saw her eyes well up with tears and he began to panic. He didn't want to make her cry. "Don't cry Kagome! Please don't cry! I wanted to tell you, but–," He was cut off by Kagome.
"Don't," she whispered. "Why didn't you tell me in the beginning? Why did you lead me on only to break my heart?"
He was taken aback. He didn't think that her emotions ran this deep. But it didn't matter. He had already told Kikyou that he was going to hell with her. "I'm sorry," he whispered back. "I didn't know."
"What about Kikyou? How long have you been seeing her?"
K: //Maybe he will say it was only a dream I was having a nightmare and it didn't really happen.//
Inuyasha looked at her guiltily. "For about a month." Kagome looked at him with eyes filled with hurt and anger.
"A MONTH!? How could you Inuyasha! How could you betray me like this?! She is a traitor! She doesn't love you! She's only after the jewel shards so she can give them to Naraku! Why do you trust her when she's already betrayed you? She's a DEAD LIAR who supposed to be in HELL right now!" she yelled at him. "How can she love you if she isn't happy for you know? If is really loved you she'd let you live your life instead of selfishly asking you to die early!"She was screaming out her anger and it felt good.
K: //Why can't he see that she's a traitor? She's only after the shards for Naraku!//
Inuyasha growled and Kagome was surprised. He had never growled like that at her.
"First off, it's my fault that she's dead in the first place! She's not being selfish, I WANT to go to hell and be with her, even if I do have to die early. What is death when you can be reunited with your love? And don't you dare call Kikyou a liar or traitor! We were supposed to be together! It was my lack of trust that got her killed the first time and I won't let her get hurt again! We LOVE each other and she would never betray me. We've already learned from our mistakes and we're not going to let them happen again!" he yelled back at her. He didn't like this at all. He didn't really want to be yelling at Kagome, but she deserved it. Kagome backed away.
"I'm leaving Inuyasha." Was all she said. Then she turned around and walked back down the trail to where Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and Kilala were waiting. "Sango do you mind if I borrow Kilala to go back home? I can't be here for another minute."
"Yes Kagome. Anything you want," she said. Kilala transformed and Kagome got on. Inuyasha stood there and watched her fly away with a heavy heart. He was losing his best friend, but he wouldn't go after her. He couldn't make her come back. He could only hope that she would return. Shippou started to run after Kagome, and Sango chased him to make sure he wouldn't get hurt.
"Kagome! Where are you going? Your not leaving are you?!" he cried out. "I don't want to loose you too!" Sango caught up with him and grabbed him. She pulled him into an embrace, where Shippou started to cry on her shoulder.
"Shh," she comforted. "Don't worry, she'll be back."
Miroku walked up to Inuyasha angry. "What did you do! When is she coming back?"
Inuyasha looked at him guiltily. "I don't know, but if she does come back, it won't be for me."
"What did you DO!"
"She know's about me and Kikyou. She know's that I don't love her."
"You idiot!" Miroku yelled. "How could you do such a thing? If your going to choose a woman you should at least choose the right one!"
Inuyasha looked at him angry. "I did choose the right one! You wouldn't have any idea of that though, would you monk. I don't see you and Sango together, and don't you tell me your not together because you don't want to hurt her, because you do it every time you look at another woman! I know what I'm doing, so don't try to tell me what to do when you yourself have your own problems!" he shot back.
They were now both burning in anger now. "At least I choose live women! Why can't you let the dead past die? You and Kikyou can only be together in hell and she doesn't really love you if she wants you to end your life now! Go back and get Kagome. Apologize to her now!"
"I won't. If she come's back it will be on her own. I can't force her to do anything and I'm not going to try." Then he walked away, back towards Kaede's village. Miroku went to get Sango who was still comforting Shippou. They started back to the village and Miroku explained what Inuyasha had said to Kagome.
I: //I'm sorry Kagome. I didn't mean to hurt you this badly, but I do love Kikyou and I do trust her. Please come back to me. I don't want to loose you as a friend...//

To Be Continued...
That's another chapter done! I'm sorry. It's up later than I expected. I was going to put it up a few days ago, but I wasn't here. My apologies people. So how did you like it? Kagome has left and Inuyasha won't go get her. Sad, yes I know. Now should I be evil and make Kagome do something bad? The next chapter will be with Kagome so you'll get to see how she's faring. And it's not well...
