A/N: Sorry for the wait. I'm really busy right now. Grr.
I was working really hard in school, then when break came, I told myself
that I was going to work during intersession, dear old mom tells me we're
going to Maui then Kaui, and both of my grandmas don't have a friggin'
computer! Then, we came home for Christmas, and I got a bow, arrows, a
shooting glove, and all this other stuff, so I think you can guess what I
was doing.
Sorry everyone!
Happy New Year!
KittyKathy: Maybe...
DemonGirlofInuyasha: Thanks, but I don't think I'm that great. I'm not saying that just to be modest, but honestly, compared to people like Keolla and Maiden of the Moon...*sighs*

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Kagome's POV*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I sat by the lake. All I could see was the moonlight reflecting beautifully on the calm waters. All I could hear was the wind rustling in the trees surrounding me, as the rain continued to fall.
In only ten minutes
{Don't leave me in all this pain}
All I could think about. All that filled my mind was Inuyasha as my fingers grazed around on the beautiful pendant. Not once had I removed it. Still, it didn't tarnish, didn't rust, never faltered, but stayed as beautiful and elegant as the day I received it. Why couldn't love be that way?
{Don't leave me out in the rain}
Why did this happen? What did I do to deserve this? I had been separated from him, now I had to break his heart?
{Come back and bring back my smile
Come kiss these tears away}
All I wanted was for him to be with me. To cling to him, to snuggle close. I felt like a lost puppy, alone and scared. Wondering where the love was. Wondering why we were apart.
{I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind}
All I wanted to do was go back in time, tell that bastard Naraku that
I wouldn't
do it. That I wasn't going to listen to him and that was that. What
could he really do anyway?
That was a stupid question. What was hat stupid ball? Why did it
cause so much pain?
But the question that was screaming at me the most was what Naraku was
planning! Why did he want me so far from Inuyasha?
What was his intentions. As if reading her thoughts, she heard his
voice in her head "That is not of importance." I shook her head
vigorously, 'NO!' 'LEAVE ME ALONE!'
I panted, holding my head in two hands, watching the ground painfully.
"Inuyasha."
{Bring back those nights when I held you beside me}
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Narrative~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha sat on his bed. Miroku hadn't come back yet. The dance
hadn't ended yet. He leaned against the wall, tracing the carvings of
a wooden box in one hand, and gazing at a roll of pictures held in the
other.
What was going on?
Why did she make him feel this way? Was it because it had never
happened before? Because he was the one who usually did the dumping?
Or was it because of something different.
Very different.
Because he loved her?
{Unbreak my heart
Say you love me again}
The pictures had been taken the day the camp went on a field trip to a
nearby town. There was a picture booth there, and Kagome had dragged
him in.
The first was one of them smiling. The second, Kagome kissed him on
the cheek. The third they made silly faces. The fourth was one of
both laughing, Kagome snuggled close.
The hanyou smiled painfully at this.
{Undo this hurt that you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life}
His smile slowly turned into a glare, as he squeezed the pictures
close to his head, breathing un normally.
That's it.
He would stop acting like such a wuss. He would not let this go.
He would not take it any longer.
Someone was going to pay.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome sat there. Rain cascading down her cheeks. The pure water
merging once again with her salty tears.
{Uncry these tears
I've cried so many nights}
She knew now.
She loved him.
She didn't want to be away from him.
When she was younger, Kagome would run around the store. She would
squeal to her mom. "I want this! I'll just DIE if I don't get it!"
Her mom would look at her with a stern look in her eyes.
"You've lived this long without it, I'm sure you will still live
honey."
But that was a stupid explanation. No, she wouldn't be able to live
without it...without him. Sure, she's lived without him that long,
but now it was different, she knew about him. She knew what she
could've had. It was because of her new knowledge that she wouldn't
be able to go on. Because whether it be a toy, or Inuyasha, she knew
about it or him. Because she knew about it or him, she would always
think about it. She would lay in bed, thinking about what she
could've had.
{Unbreak my heart
my heart}
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~
But who was going to pay?
Kagome?
Whoever the friend was that made the bet?
Who?
No, there was no one to blame but himself.
Why did he let himself be taunted like that?
Why did he let himself be tricked into love?
{Take back that sad word goodbye
Bring back the joy to my life}
Was it her long ebony hair? Her smile? Her stormy-blue eyes? The
way she hugged him?
Whatever the reason...He loved her.
Even if she didn't feel the same way, he loved her.
No matter how much he would beg that to go away, he wouldn't be able
to let her go.
{Don't leave me here with these tears
Come kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you beside me}
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome and Inuyasha
Two lovers caught in the hands of fate.
The hands of Naraku.
The hands of love.
{Un-break my
Un-break my heart, oh baby
Come back and say you love me
Un-break my heart
Sweet darlin'
Without you I just can't go on
Can't go on}
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Master..."
His malicious eyes rolled. "What now?"
"Can't you see they're in enough pai-"
"No! They shall SUFFER! Suffer as I have suffered! THEN I'll take it."
"A-and when it's taken?"
"Kill them."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha thought his last thought of Kagome's smile.
Now, he focused on her frown. Her tears. Her hatred.
How could she do that to him?
Did his childhood friend really turn into a heart teaser?
He didn't care anymore.
His love was tainted. His love was twisted into malice. Hatred.
He would make someone pay.
That someone would be Kagome.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Naraku's lips twisted into a sneer.
"Yes, hatred. Beautiful hatred. You can't bear with love can you Inuyasha? Yes, this will work out perfectly. The Shikon no Tama will soon be mine. Tainted in pure malice, beautiful blackness."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~
A/N: That was a bunch of meaningless angst wasn't it? *sighs* Oh well.
Well, you found part of the plan, at least a glimpse of it.
Sorry everyone!
