I don't own Inuyasha

Chapter One: Pain

Kagome couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Kikyou and Inuyasha

kissing by the well she didn't know why she was surprised since

she had always known how Inuyasha had loved Kikyou. They had

finally defeated Naraku and found all the Shikon jewel shards

she should be happy but Kagome was angry at herself for loving

Inuyasha.

Kagome felt like such a fool she had believed Inuyasha would love

her or had always hoped that he would. She was wrong he still

loved Kikyou and now that they have all of the shards he will want

to give Kikyou a new body so they could be together. Kagome knew

there was only one thing she could do and that was complete the

jewel so Inuyasha could make his wish.

"Are you okay, Kagome?" Sango asked Miroku standing behind her

they had finally told each other how they felt. Sango loved Kagome

like a sister and felt her pain. Sango wanted to bash Inuyasha's

head in for what he had done to her best and only friend. Sango

saw Inuyasha kissing that dead bitch and was very angry at Inuyasha

for not caring how Kagome felt for seeing them together. How could

he be so blind and throw away the best thing that could ever happen

to him? Sango wished that Kagome had chosen Kouga since she knew

how much the wolf demon loved the young miko.

Kagome tried to smile at her friend. "I'll be okay Sango don't

worry I'm strong and I knew Inuyasha would chose Kikyou over me."

So she lied Kagome believed after she went back to her own time

she could forget about Inuyasha and Kikyou and get on with her

life. She knew she was going to miss all her friends like Miroku,

Sango, and Shippo and even Kouga who had joined them to help

destroy Naraku once and for all. Finally after all of these

years they will finally have peace in their hearts. Or at least

everyone but Kagome. Kikyou even joined up with them and started

to ride on Inuyasha's back. Kagome had to ride on Kouga which

she didn't mind since Kouga was so kind and loving to her.

Kagome felt guilt about not loving Kouga the way he needed to be

loved. She cared for him very much and would do anything for him.

Kagome would even hate it when Kikyou would try and talk to him.

She took Inuyasha away and she was not getting Kouga. Kagome

had a feeling she will not find peace in her heart again she was

in so much pain after watching Inuyasha and Kikyou in each

other's arms. Why couldn't you love me, Inuyasha? Kagome sighed

it was too late now she just had to move on. At least she had

Kouga's friendship.

"He doesn't know what he's missing." Kouga stepped up to Kagome

he hated to see her in pain. Kagome laid her head on his

shoulder. If I could just make her forget him. Kagome I love

you I can make you happy. Kouga knew in his heart that Kagome

would be the only one he will ever love.

"Thanks Kouga." Kagome tried to smile at Kouga he was the only

one who seemed to care for her and not just to get shikon

jewel shards. If only she fell for Kouga instead of Inuyasha.

Kouga was a good friend and I would hate to never see him again.

"I guess it's time for me to complete the jewel." Kagome was

scared on what to think will happen to her after she completed

the jewel.

"Come on Kagome, I want to make my wish." Inuyasha walked up to

the group with his arm around Kikyou. Kouga growled at him

making the dead miko jump and hide behind Inuyasha. Kouga

grinned he hated that woman. "I want to give Kikyou a real body

so we can be together." Inuyasha snapped at Kouga.

"So don't start with me wolf breath."

Kagome wanted to cry when she heard Inuyasha say that. She

felt Kouga wrap an arm around her. "Up yours dog trud." Kouga

wanted to kill the hanyou for making Kagome cry.

"Don't cry for him Kagome he's a stupid dog who doesn't know

what he could have had with you. Kikyou is nothing compared to

you." Kouga hugged Kagome to him. "I would have thanked the

Gods if you were my woman. Kagome you know how much I love you

and that I want you for my mate?"

Kagome did know how he felt about her as she hugged him back

maybe she could have a future with Kouga. If the jewel would

let her stay. "I know Kouga and I think I might love you I'm

just not sure yet."

Kouga nodded he understood how Kagome felt just now.

"I know."

"Come on Kagome." Inuyasha did not like the way Kouga was

hugging Kagome. Inuyasha wanted Kikyou however he wanted

Kagome too. And he would have both as soon as he destroyed

that well of hers. "I don't have all day."

Kagome did as she was told and merged all of the shards together

to make the Shikon no Tama the jewel of four souls was whole once

again. Something was different this time. She felt funny as

if she was disappearing into nothing.

"Kagome!" Her name on Kouga's lips was the last thing she

heard before she saw nothing but blackness. The sad part was

Kagome had finally figured out how much she did care about the

wolf demon prince.

Let me know what you think. Review.
