Chapter 2: Truth

"That stupid girl." Inuyasha huffed, running faster. But he couldn't help but feel at loss. He had feelings for her, but Kikyou….

"Inuyasha!" Sango yelled, from somewhere up above him. He looked up to see Sango atop Kirara, looking at him.

"Has Kagome already left to her era?" He asked her, trying to ignore the look of pity she was giving him.

"Um, she wants to be alone Inuyasha. She'll come to you when she's ready to talk about it."

"What?! Now she doesn't want to talk?" He was confused now. She usually always wanted to talk after a fight.

"That's right." With that Sango left him to make his own choices on whether he wanted to get the 's' word or not. She soared off back to the hut, where she supposed Miroku was waiting for her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What is it Miroku? You know I don't like to be left alone with you…your wandering hands…"

Interrupts and sweat drops: "Sango I…."

"Because I remember things like that. Every time you…"

"Sango! I need to…"

"I need to think on some things Miroku. Inuyasha said before he smelt Naraku nearby. I don't know…I just don't know if I can face Kohaku again."

Miroku sighed and stood up. "Do you need to talk about it?" The moment was momentarily ruined to say to Sango what he needed to say. Now that she was worked up about her brother. He was understanding about the situation, so he gently rested a hand on her shoulder.

"I…I…Oh Miroku!" Sango cried, surprising Miroku and herself. She lent on his shoulder and cried out her frustration.

" I'll always be here for you Sango." He whispered into her hair.

"I know."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome was thinking. She was thinking about how much what she saw in the forest hurt. About Inuyasha, about her friends. Her life in the other era. She knew she couldn't leave this era behind, just because she and Inuyasha were feuding. Everyone needed her until the jewel was complete. To leave now forever would be selfish.

Kagome stood up and wiped some of the tears off with her sleeve and picked up her bike. "I just need a much needed rest…that's all." She said to herself, mounting her bike and putting a foot on the pedal.

"Where do you think you're going?" Inuyasha demanded, grabbing the back of her bike before she could take off.

"Home. To take a much needed rest." She informed him, turning halfway around in her seat so she could look at him.

"We need to talk Kagome."

"No, now let go of my bike."

"Yes, and I'll just follow you until you talk to me."

"I'll say the 's' word! I swear I will!" Kagome yelled in frustration, glaring at the stubborn Inuyasha.

"Sit me all you want Kagome. I'll still follow."

"What do you think your doing!? Let go of me!" Kagome shrieked as Inuyasha picked her up. She glared daggers at him as he semi-roughly dropped her in the grass.

"Kagome, listen…What exactly did you see in that forest!? Well!?"

"You and Kikyou kissing." She mumbled, looking at her shoes, which she found very interesting at the moment.

"I went there that day to make amends, to tell her I couldn't see her anymore…that…she needed to go back from where she came. Because…because I loved someone else."

Kagome thought her heart had stopped just then, as he said those words. When she looked up, he was gone. But she understood, and laughed with tears running down her face. Still laughing and still half blind with tears she jumped back on her bike and pedaled to the well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Miroku!?" Sango cried, the slap resounding throughout the small hut. He had groped her once again. It seemed he couldn't help himself.

"Please forgive me Sango…" Miroku grinned at the fuming Sango. Even though it felt like his face was on fire…

"Ah! Miroku. What did you do to Sango this time?" Asked an innocent Shippo, who seemed to have popped up out of nowhere.

"Oh Shippo! Where have you been? Kagome's been looking all over for you." Sango scolded. She picked him up and left the hut, wanting to get away from Miroku so she could think about the days events.

Miroku leaned up against the doorway and watched her walk away with Shippo and Kirara, laughing at some of the adventures Shippo was telling her.

"Oh Miroku…could you help me with this firewood? I'm not as young as I used to be." Kaede asked, dropping a load of firewood on Miroku' head and walking into the hut to rest on her sleeping mat. Miroku, smiled at the old lady and started to stack the wood next to the hut.

It was too bad, he decided, that he didn't get to tell Sango what he meant to. There would be a later time for that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inuyasha was currently sitting in a tree next to Kaede's village and blushing to the roots of his hair. He was also thinking about what he said to Kagome. He didn't mean to kiss Kikyou, but like always, even though he loved Kagome, Kikyou had to have her way.

Flashback:

"Why have you called me here Inuyasha?" Kikyou demanded, wrapping her arms around herself. "Are bitter words to be said, or are you going to join me in hell?"

"Kikyou…"

"I was a fool Inuyasha, to think that you could ever love me like this. The love that we once shared…it's my reincarnation isn't it? I knew it!" She laughed bitterly at his look. "That girl, Kagome. How can you pick her over me? You're a fool Inuyasha. A fool that likes to toy around with sluts like her, and leave me in the dust."

"No!" Inuyasha yelled, grabbing her shoulders and spinning her around. "You don't understand. I loved you Kikyou. I thought…I could never love again after…"

"Inuyasha…" Kikyou whispered, wrapping her arms around his neck. She drew his face to hers and kissed him gently. "Come with me to hell." She kissed him again, longer this time. (Kagome sees and freaks out.)

"Kikyou…I can't." Inuyasha said, gently pushing her away.

"Then you never loved me!" Kikyou cried, turning away from him.

"…"

"Leave me. Go to your Kagome and leave me."

So he did, and the guilt threatened to consume him.

End of Flashback.
