**~~ Hi people.......-_- I know, I made InuYasha confess his feelings to
Kagome in a "not happy way" BUT...wut can I do. My InuYasha isn't in a
happy mood these days with the whole Kikyo situation going on. But dun
worry, this fic will end as a happy ending ^^ KK? Trust me, I won't let
anything get permanently between Kagome and InuYasha. They belong
together...FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!! KK, on wit da story~~**
============= Chapter Forty =============
He held his hands into a fist, his heart was beating fast, "Kikyo wants all my love. She has most of it.....but then you're......asking me to.....take the space my heart has for.... you......and give it to Kikyo. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?! With you in my heart, my heart can't fully belong to Kikyo!!!"
InuYasha looked away, "I....sorry....I didn't mean to....shout. I don't know what's gotten into me......Um....." InuYasha turned around, turning his back to Kagome. He buried his face in his hands, ~Shit.....I didn't mean to tell her......Now that Kagome knows that I'm also in love with her......If I choose Kikyo in the end, it'll hurt her more.......and....ERG! I've screwed this all up! I wish I could escape.....I really have betrayed Kikyo. I told two people that I loved them......It's all my fault....always is~
"I'm sorry......" InuYasha muttered, "Guess you didn't want to hear that"
Kagome slowly walked over to him, ~This isn't the way a girl would want a guy to confess their feelings to them.....but......even this is more than a girl in my situation could ask for. Is he telling the truth......does he love me?~
InuYasha looked down at Kagome. She could see that his eyes were cold, empty and full of guilt. She reached out her hands and touched his cheeks and warmly smiled at him.
"InuYasha.....why are you so depressed? You haven't done anything wrong"
InuYasha looked away, "I....didn't want you to know"
~I really can't believe it....HE'S in love.....WITH ME....too~
Kagome's heart beated fast, Kagome smiled joyfully to herself. InuYasha looked down at her in a bit of surprise,
~She doesn't seem disappointed......~ InuYasha blushed and looked away, ~No InuYasha, don't feel happy cuz she is happy. You've betrayed Kikyo, you have no right to be happy~ echoed a voice in his mind.
"InuYasha.....I thought......you loved me" Kikyo whispered as her body fell into a pit of fire. InuYasha shook his head from the image, ~Why do I have to be tortured like this......~
Kagome looked at InuYasha who's expression was of someone in great pain and confusion. ~He loves me.......even thought he may love me less than Kikyo. I am still glad that I am a part of his heart.......but......he is miserable that he loves me. He can't give his full heart to Kikyo then, he wants to be with her not me. I want to tell him that I love him......but if I do, then he'll feel bound to protect me. He shall have more trouble choosing, for even if he wanted to be with Kikyo....he would feel bad for me, cuz he'd now that I loved him too.......~
Kagome looked sadly down at the floor, ~ Like you sacrificed so much for me......to prove that I love you......I'll let you go. I wont hold onto you like Kikyo does, and burden you with it. I'll let you chose freely, even though I know it won't be me at the end.......Since I love you so much, I'll let you go. I'll help you.....fall out of love with me.......since it hurts you so much to be in love.......with me. I want to see you happy~
InuYasha looked at Kagome in shock, he could see her clutching her fist, and he could see tears glimmering in her eyes.
"InuYasha........." Kagome said, taking a while to think of what to say.
"Kagome........what's wrong?" he asked worriedly.
"You know........that you can't chose both Kikyo and I. And I know that you love Kikyo much more than me......so......so there's no point in wasting time being in love with me. At the end you will chose Kikyo, so what's the point of loving me.......And.......I know you don't like being in love with me......so the space that you have in your heart for me.......get rid of it. Fill it up with Kikyo......and be happy" Kagome choked out as she turned and ran out of the hut.
InuYasha's heart beat started to slow down, his heart stopped beating. ~ Kagome.......I would be happy knowing that I was in love with you, I just don't let myself......because.......I'm bound to Kikyo. Kagome.........~
InuYasha tightly closed his eyes, ~I wonder.......what Kagome feels for me. Keh......she probably.....why would she even like a person like me. Kouga is even better suited to be with her....and that Hojo guy~
~Damn.......!!! Is she running away back to her world? If she does....she might never want to come back......~
Kagome raised through the dark forest, she could see the well from afar.
~I have to get out of here....I can't bear to see his face again after what I gave up. I'm such a baka! I told him to give the part of the heart that was in love with me.....to Kikyo. But I did the right thing.....I know I did~
Kagome reached the wall as she panted for air. She looked up at the sky that had turned night. ~......baka~
Kagome jumped down the well, her heart still throbbing fast. She jumped out of the well and started to run through the thick snow. She was in front of her house, but a picture of InuYasha flashed through her mind,
*****Flashback*****
"It's....it's just seeing you in pain.....because of me. ALWAYS because of me....that you suffer! You always do so much for me, and yet, I can do nothing to pay you back! I owe you so much and now I feel so bad!"
"You don't owe me anything....you've done a lot for me.....Kagome. You DON'T owe me!!!!" InuYasha said loudly, out of anger of himself, realizing his confusion for Kikyo.
Kagome stared, not knowing why InuYasha looked so angered. ~Is he....mad at me~
"InuYasha...gomen" Kagome whispered, not knowing what else to say.
He looked at her in shock, "I'm not mad at you....."
She looked deeply into his eyes. InuYasha looked into her lively, glimmering eyes.
InuYasha gently pushed Kagome to the floor as he looked down at her.
Kagome stared up at InuYasha in surprise, ~What's....going on...~
InuYasha stared down at her, his heart beating fast. Her face glowing in the sunlight.
Kagome's heart sped faster as she felt InuYasha's lips close to hers.
*****End of Flashback*****
"ugh..." Kagome shook her head furiously as she turned from home and ran another way ending up on the streets.
Kagome sped down the road,
~I have to get away......I have to get away......I have to get away from the pain~
Kagome ran down the street as she panted for air. Kagome slowed down, she could feel the cold tears on her cheeks. ~What am I doing......running away wont help me at all........~
Kagome sighed and turned around.......and saw InuYasha slumped against the past of the lamp. He walked unsteadily over to her, his hand covering his wound. He coldly grabbed her wrist,
****Kikyo's voice in InuYasha's mind****
"How can you promise that you love me when your heart is not even sure you mean it? DON'T say things you don't mean!!!!!!!"
"You have changed InuYasha.....your heart has changed. Does it no longer belong to me?! WHY CAN'T I HAVE IT?! You gave me the right to have your love! You told me that you loved me! Why did you tell me if you weren't sure! Were the good times we had 50 years ago....does it mean nothing to you?"
"I hate you InuYasha"
"InuYasha! I am like this, desperately searching for souls to survive, and you say that it is wrong!! You said you loved me!! Hah, I was a fool to have believed it once, now look at me. I could be resting peacefully in my grave if you had not betrayed me! Now that I live, I want to live! I want to live on earth now! Live on earth with YOU dead!"
****End of voice****
"You're going back with me. I wont lose you again" InuYasha said coldly, Kikyo's voice poisoning his mind, as he tightly held Kagome's wrist in anger at himself, ~Kikyo.....why can't you just accept what I can only give to you~
"InuYasha! Let go of my wrist! Your hurting me!" Kagome cried in shock,
"InuYasha! OW! It really hurts"
InuYasha let go, as Kagome fell gently onto the snow. InuYasha crouched on the ground as he clutched his head,
"Sorry......I don't know what's gotten into me....." InuYasha bitterly muttered, ~Now I'm hurting you.......~
Kagome watched InuYasha stand with his back to her,
"I've decided Kagome.....I've caused enough trouble. Stay here Kagome, don't come back"
"......InuYasha.....WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!" Kagome cried.
InuYasha started to walk away, "because......Cuz I love you"
"If you love me....as you say you do.......why do you do this to me?" Kagome asked in a whisper.
"Have you ever noticed that you're always heart whenever you're around me? I don't want you to be hurt"
"I'll be more hurt than I can ever be if I leave you......." Kagome said, ~I've sacrificed the chance to be with InuYasha........and I didn't do it for nothing.......InuYasha is free to choose without feeling pity for me. I want him to choose with his heart, thought my chance is very slim, that is the only way he can be happy, if he is free~
"InuYasha" Kagome said cheerfully as she hooked her arms around InuYasha, "Just do what you think is right. That's all that matters. You don't have to worry about me, I'm not as weak as you think I am"
InuYasha just stared at Kagome, ~Kagome.......But what do you feel for me........~
*****************************
Kaede glared at InuYasha as she saw him walking unsteadily towards the hut, supported by Kagome.
"It's night time, where have you run off to?! And Kagome you too! InuYasha, in your state, you could put Kagome in serious danger since you can't protect her. You must rest!" Kaede said seriously.
Miroku nudged Sango, "they went out at NIGHT.....Hmmmm, I wonder what they were up to all alone together..."
Sango hit Miroku hard across the head, "You are perverted and stupid. Do you think InuYasha is that stupid to think of doing whatever your perverted mind came up with in his wounded state?!" Sango hissed.
Miroku sighed and rubbed Sango's hip with his hands, "are you cold?"
Sango's face went red as her hands flew in the air and slapped Miroku hard across the cheeks as he stumbled to the ground. He sat there rubbing his cheeks that had a red handprint imprinted.
"Jeez, I was just asking if you were cold....." He muttered.
"My hips were sure not cold!"
~She can get really scary at times.......~ Miroku thought.
*****************************
Kikyo sat down on the hill that she had once sat down on with InuYasha, where she had asked him to use the Shikon Jewel to become a human with.
The a strong gust of wind blew as it blew, as the white ribbon that tied her hair, loosened and blew away.
Kikyo sat there, her silky black hair blowing in the wind.
*****Flashback*****
"Are you sure InuYasha....are you sure that you love me....then why is it so hard for you to follow me. I wish I knew what I was to you....." Kikyo muttered.
"Kikyo....." InuYasha whispered, not knowing what to say. "I can't....just leave Kagome here. I'm....needed here"
"And is my needing you inferior compared to there's?!"
"NO! I'll follow you when the time comes...."
"And when the time does come....wont you have another excuse and another after another! You want to be with her not me!!!" Kikyo said in a cold voice.
"STOP being so selfish!!!! It's not easy for me too, you know!!!!" InuYasha yelled at her, unable to control his frustration.
*****End of Flashback*****
Kikyo tightly shut her eyes, as she gripped her hands into a fist.
~I know it's not easy for you.....but if did love me as much as you said you did, you wouldn't be having such a hard time.......I just want to be with you.......is it that hard to ask for........I don't know how I manage to keep loving you......I wish I hated you. The only reason I keep on going is because of the hope I feel in my dying heart, that I will be the one you chose. That I will be the one you love, because it is our fate to be together......~
Kikyo heavily sighed as she lay back on the grass, looking up at the starry night sky.
~The longer you take to choose, the more my heart shall rot into darkness. I do not want my lonely soul to wander the earth forever. I want to be with you. That is all I want, but now it seems too much to ask for~
Kikyo felt tears streaming down her cold cheeks, ~You were the first and will be my last person to make me feel true love, I know I was your first person, but will I be the last person you shall love?~
*****************************
InuYasha sat slumped on the mat, tapping his fingers on the cold ground.
"That's really getting annoying InuYasha" Kagome said feeling quite uncomfortable being all by herself with him. ~Stupid Miroku, out of all the people he had told me to watch over InuYasha while they went out to petrol for Youkais. Jeez, Miroku I applaud your intelligence of choosing me~
"InuYasha, go sleep, you need your wound to heal" Kagome muttered.
"I can't go sleep with you staring at me" InuYasha muttered back dryly.
"N-Nani?!" Kagome cried, her face blushing up ~He saw me staring at him?!~
"I wasn't staring at you. So GO TO SLEEP!"
"I'll go sleep...IF you leave the hut"
"Eh?! To where? Outside?! In the cold?! In your dreams! Anyway....is that how you treat the person you said you loved? I'll go ask Miroku, maybe he'll know the answer" Kagome asked innocently.
"BAKA! Are you trying to black mail me now?!" InuYasha yelled.
"No, why would I? You're just asking me to go out into the cold winter night and stand outside until you fall asleep. Why would I want to black mail you?" Kagome asked sweetly.
"K..k....KAGOME!!!"
InuYasha sighed in loss and fell back onto the matt, "stupid girl" InuYasha muttered.
"Huh" InuYasha looked up to see Kagome looking down at him. ~So close.....~
Kagome smiled cheerfully and patted his head, "there, there, doggy"
"BAKA!!" InuYasha yelled.
Kagome laughed as she pulled his ears.
"STOP THAT!!!"
"THEN GO TO SLEEP!!!!!" Kagome yelled loudly.
InuYasha yelped as he backed away, "H-Holy shit. You and your strange mood swings!"
"I wish I could strangle you" InuYasha muttered.
She sighed, "Do I have to act like a mother? When I say sleep, go sleep and don't act like a stubborn kid"
"Keh" InuYasha sat up and walked towards the wall and sat down. "I don't want to go sleep. I told you, I can't go sleep with you here"
"WHY!"
"Who knows what you'd do"
"KYAAA!! You are SO indecent! You think that I'd like....MOLEST you while you're sleeping?!"
InuYasha turned all red, "BAKA! I DIDN'T SAY THAT!"
"Then what?"
"D-Do I always have to give you an explanation?!!!!"
"Yup"
"....keh. I meant, you'd probably sneak out and get yourself killed while I'm sleeping. BAKA! And you think I'd sleep with you observing me?! Let's see you try!"
"Well......I'm different. I'm not the delicate one here"
"DELICATE!" InuYasha yelled.
"InuYasha, just give it up"
"Then take back what you said!"
"Fine, but then you have to go to sleep"
InuYasha sighed heavily in annoyance, ~I am really tired though......~
"Fine"
"fine, you're not delicate" Kagome muttered, ~wow, he must really be tired since he gave in so easily. He is right, it will be hard for him to sleep if there is someone staring at him~
"I'll go outside, it's a nice night anyway" Kagome said.
InuYasha glanced at her, "Keh, I was just joking, you can stay, just don't annoy me"
InuYasha lay on the mat with his back to Kagome, ~ I thought we'd never get back to how we were after I told you how I felt for you. I know you acted normal to ease out the tension......thanks, but I wish I knew how you felt~
**~~ Hi people, dun worry, I know your getting bored with all this social ness. I promise that action will be coming sooner or later! So dun get bored n keep reading!!!!! ~~**

"THEN GO TO SLEEP!!!!!" Kagome yelled loudly.
InuYasha yelped as he backed away, "H-Holy shit. You and your strange mood swings!"
"I wish I could strangle you" InuYasha muttered.
She sighed, "Do I have to act like a mother? When I say sleep, go sleep and don't act like a stubborn kid"
"Keh" InuYasha sat up and walked towards the wall and sat down. "I don't want to go sleep. I told you, I can't go sleep with you here"
"WHY!"
"Who knows what you'd do"
"KYAAA!! You are SO indecent! You think that I'd like....MOLEST you while you're sleeping?!"
InuYasha turned all red, "BAKA! I DIDN'T SAY THAT!"
"Then what?"
"D-Do I always have to give you an explanation?!!!!"
"Yup"
"....keh. I meant, you'd probably sneak out and get yourself killed while I'm sleeping. BAKA! And you think I'd sleep with you observing me?! Let's see you try!"
"Well......I'm different. I'm not the delicate one here"
"DELICATE!" InuYasha yelled.
"InuYasha, just give it up"
"Then take back what you said!"
"Fine, but then you have to go to sleep"
InuYasha sighed heavily in annoyance, ~I am really tired though......~
"Fine"
"fine, you're not delicate" Kagome muttered, ~wow, he must really be tired since he gave in so easily. He is right, it will be hard for him to sleep if there is someone staring at him~
"I'll go outside, it's a nice night anyway" Kagome said.
InuYasha glanced at her, "Keh, I was just joking, you can stay, just don't annoy me"
InuYasha lay on the mat with his back to Kagome, ~ I thought we'd never get back to how we were after I told you how I felt for you. I know you acted normal to ease out the tension......thanks, but I wish I knew how you felt~
