Chapter 10- Any love left for me?

Blood dripped down from Inuyasha's clenched fists as he dug his incredibly long nails into his palms to keep from yelling obscenities.

"Inuyasha," Kagome pleaded with her eyes, tears brimming them.

"No, Kagome. I see who you have chosen," he said harshly before tuning on his heel and heading for the door.

"No, Inuyasha! Wait!" Kagome yelled out brokenly through tears streaming down her face as she tried to run after him before Hojo stopped her.

"Shhh. It's ok. He's gone now. I'm here," Hojo said soothingly in her ear.

"No! He's not gone! That's what I had thought, but no! He's here now! I can't let him go again!" Kagome screamed.

"What about me Kagome?" Hojo said while trying to hold back
tears. "Don't you love me anymore?"
You just said the worst thing you could ever say

Well, I don't understand why it just can't be this way

I'm crying because of you

"I do, Hojo! But I also love Inuyasha!"

"You can't have both of us! And what about the kids? Bella already understands about Sesshomaru, but what about Jake? And Andrew? What about them?" Hojo challenged. If she couldn't make up her mind soon, he'd make it so she wouldn't have to. He couldn't take much more of her using the kids as an excuse while she made up her mind.
I hate, yes I hate all your lies

I'm so scared

And I fear what I see in your eyes

But I hope, and I dream, and I wish, and I pray

That you have some love left for me

Do you have some love left for me?

"Why? Why can't I have both of you?" Kagome asked the floor as she sunk down and sat on her heels while Hojo gave her a look of disgust and left the room. Silent tears kept streaming down her tears as Kagome crawled into a corner and cried herself, uncomfortably asleep.

Inuyasha was still fuming. How could she play with his emotions like this? During those few moments he felt like he was seventeen again and Kikyo had betrayed him.

You just did the worst thing you could ever do to me

Well, I don't understand why and I cannot see

That it's hurting because of you

He was over that now. The only reason he had gotten over her was because of Kagome. And now she was off, gadding around with some hobo! No way was he going to have his woman! Inuyasha felt that since he did everything with her first that he deserved her. And after all that separation anxiety he went through while she was gone, never knowing he had two kids. Maybe he would be able to meet them soon.. Then suddenly he caught a scent that was familiar.Almost like Kagome's but had a faint tint of demon, it must be Luna's! Inuyasha decided to follow the scent in hopes of finding where his children were being held. But no sooner had he started out running at full speed, right before she was about to jump he bumped into Hojo!

"What where you're goin'" Inuyasha yelled before stepping slightly to the side so he could start running again.

"Why don't you go back to where you belong and then you won't have to watch out for me!" Hojo yelled back as Inuyasha turned to jump. He stopped mid-motion and turned around super fast. And faced Hojo with an icy glare. And where do you think you're going?"

"None of your business," Inuyasha said with venom dripping from every word that gave Hojo an impression that if he didn't get out of this guy's way soon then he'd be dog chow! Before Hojo could even think of anything to say in reply to that, Inuyasha was already down the block and up in the air.

I hate, yes I hate all your lies

I'm so scared

And I fear what I see in your eyes

But I hope, and I dream, and I wish, and I pray

That you have some love left for me

Do you have some love left for me?

Hojo decided to use Inuyasha's absence to sway Kagome into choosing him over Inuyasha. He headed back into the house with renewed energy and love for Kagome. He found her in her emerald green nightgown, lying on the bed reading some magazine. The nightgown just happened to be rather low cut and she was lying on the foot of the bed, across it so that she at the edge but her feet weren't on the pillows. (Get it? Like long ways parallel to the pillows) She was facing the door with her head bent down reading giving Hojo a perfect shot down her dress. She smiled warmly to let him know she acknowledged his entrance into the room.

"So, you came back I see?" she said ponderingly, not bothering to look up from the article she was reading.

"Ahh, yes I did. I figured I should come back here and get to you before Inuyasha did," He said triumphantly. Kagome's smile faded to a small frown as she asked him if that's all she was to him now that Inuyasha was here, some prize to be won.

Do you have some love left for me?

Do you have some love left for me?

It took Hojo a while to explain that he really loved her and felt that he was the best person for her to be with after all he's helped her through. Kagome took it all in slowly, she couldn't say that she didn't love him but she also couldn't say that she didn't love Inuyasha even though he had been gone all these years. Why did love have to be so confusing? And then she couldn't just think of herself, there were the children too. Bella was brave, she knew that she would never she her father again and she also didn't want to. At times she almost wished she was never born, knowing all the pain her mother went though with that man. But what about Luna and Andrew? They knew they would never fit in, and Andrew. He had to be home schooled but he didn't seem to mind. Now there was the issue of Jake. He had always been the troublemaker and always after the girls, a lot like Miroku. Kagome knew that he would take whatever change really hard. He really looked up to Andrew and Kagome figured out long ago that she would never be able to separate them. And then there was the new baby that usually had all their attention lately but recently had been quite ignored.

"Hojo, where's Inuyasha?" Kagome interrupted her thoughts and Hojo's explanations to inquire about the hanyou who if he wasn't at the shrine, could possibly be angry and wondering around modern day Tokyo, none of these were good things to be happening right now. Hojo didn't want to think about stupid Inuyasha right now. All he wanted was Kagome.

I hate, yes I hate all your lies

I'm so scared

And I fear what I see in your eyes

(you don't feel anything)

But I hope, and I dream, and I wish, and I pray

That you have some love left for me

Do you have some love left for me?

Hojo tried to change her mind and divert her attention from Inuyasha to him with a deep, passionate kiss. He could tell it had worked when he felt Kagome's slender arms wrap around his neck and into his hair. There was that little voice in the back of her head that she chose to ignore but it kept reminding her of what happened the last time she ignored it.

One minute Kagome was deepening their kiss by licking his lips and asking for entrance until granted and then the next she had him pushed as far as she could I one push that caught him completely off guard.

"Tell me where Inuyasha is," She pleaded with him once he got over the shock. Hojo refused to give a verbal response and instead decided to show what he thought of the situation by walking out the door. Kagome's screams and pleads followed him out the bedroom door and into the hall, down the stairs and out of the house (she ran to an open window) as she strolled in a calmness that used all of his energy to maintain, to the shrine which held an usual sense of serenity that always helped him through any ordeal. He walked inside and locked the door.

Kagome slumped down next to the window and pulled her legs up to her chest and rocked back and forth considering every single place that Inuyasha might be at. It took her a while but eventually she figured it out. She jumped up raced to the closet to change in record time, race down stairs, grab the car keys and head out the door and into the front seat of her car. The car started and she pulled out and onto the street hoping that her guess was correct and that Inuyasha would still be there when she got there.

Hojo heard the car start and leave the shrine but he didn't care. Kagome was probably going after Inuyasha anyways. He got up and walked out of the shrine and into the house. Once in there he headed up the stars and into their bedroom. Hojo then went into the closet and pulled out a key from his pocket and opened the leather case. He had never done this before and always that this particular case would remain closed until his dying day. In any case he pulled out the metal object and held it in his hand, it brought coolness to his hand as he realized that through all the emotions he had gotten quite worked up.

Suddenly a long fingernail ran across his neck, sending a chill down Hojo's spine. He spun around to find his eyes locked in a stare down with an icy pair of amber eyes. The white hair was perfect like always and looked like a very think silver blanket emerging from the person's head. The man grabbed the gun out of Hojo's hand and unsheathed his sword instead.

"Let me help you with that," Sesshomaru said as a swoosh was heard from the sword. In less than a second there was a pool of blood on the ground with Hojo's head lying in the middle of it.
