Rikku: Ok I think everyone has gotten the thought thing into their systems now. And if they haven't, well I'm not explaining again. This time, I might not leave you in suspense, depends on how much time I have on the computer. Like I said before, my computer time is limited because of homework so the next few chapters will be coming in slowly. But please wait, I promise I will end this story (that's right, no giving up...I will keep writing until the bitter end. XD!!) since I had so many nice reviews. Arigatou!!!
I don't own InuYasha-boy I'm irratated....
**************************
Chapter 6: InuYasha's Past and Kagome's Tears.
There she was. Face to face to HIM. It wasn't like he was the guest of honour or anything, it was just well....just like she was to him.....he was special to her. In a way, he was the reason why Kagome was so desperate to have her party. But she waited, and waited for him.....and he was LATE. But, oh well....it only mattered if he came, right? And there he was. InuYasha....even if he was arrogant and had a WHOLE lot of attitude, something about him...Kagome didn't know why but InuYasha was the reason why her party had just lightened up. She couldn't believe it. He was finally there.
"Inu-" Kagome spoke, but InuYasha had rudely interrupted by speaking unexpectedly.
"Ya, I'm here. No need for any soft speeches or whatever, it's not like I wanted to come."
Kagome was furious. She had waited for him and he came late. And when he finally came, he acted as if it were a big deal or something. Did this guy ever know how to change someone's mood from shocked (Rikku: A good kinda 'shocked' I mean) into burning fury. 'And I thought Kouga was annoying...' Kagome thought. (Rikku: There perfect example of a thought....gotta stop interrupting you guys, gomen!!)
"Well are you gonna let me in or not?!" InuYasha asked coldly.
Kagome's anger made her feel like she was about to burst. Suddenly, everyone had directed their attention to her (once again) and InuYasha. Whispers were heard from all around the room.
"Why would anyone invite someone like HIM?"
Kagome froze.
"If this guy like sooo ruins the party, then I'm like soo leaving!"
Kagome's eyes were widened. It hit her. Just like that. InuYasha never cared. Not for her. Not for anyone else. It was hard to believe she had ever felt bad for him or even....even....liked him. But not JUST as a friend as a....
"OI! KAGOME!! YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE OR WHAT? LEMME IN YOUR SHRINE NOW!!" InuYasha roared. He was REALLY making a scene.
Kagome had finally snapped out of her shocked-(Rikku: Bad 'shocked')state. "Alright! Just let me open the door, you're really distracting me with your constant nagging!"
"How hard is it to open a door?!"
"With your big mouth....? Then it's harder than you think..." Kagome said under her breath.
"Nani?!"
"Nothing...." Kagome said finally opening the door.
"ARIGATOU!!!" InuYasha said, irratated. He sighed heavily and plopped down on one of Kagome's two sofas. He noticed that everyone was eyeing him so he gave all the guests a cold look. They all turned their heads fearfully and went back to their business. Next where the innocent people sitting on 'his' couch. He turned his head both ways and hissed at them. All of them quickly ran away out of sight, except for one girl. Sango.
'She doesn't know what she's getting herself into...' Kagome thought. She shut the door behind her as she walked toward InuYasha and her best friend.
They were both staring at each other with cold, cold, cold, cold (Rikku: Okay, I'll get to the point) stares. Kagome even stopped dead in her tracks, as if she were approaching two wild wolves.
"What are YOU looking at?" InuYasha said. Once again the crowd of people focused their attention to yet another scene. (Rikku: What is UP with these people?! @.@) The tone of InuYasha's voice caused all the teens to gasp.
"An arrogant jerk, that just told my friend off even though she was nice enough to invite you to her own birthday party...I don't know how though, and a self-centered baka that thinks he owns the place, and oh lemme think....oh ya....and an immature asshole with an ego so big it's blocking my view!!" Sango snapped.
The 'audience' ooed. (sp?)
Kagome eyed InuYasha head to toe, did this guy love red or what? AGAIN, he wore a red top. It had japanese characters in black that read "half-breed", and black stripes on his sleeves and collar. He had black loose shorts which were knee length; on his feet were red and dark blue runners, and maybe it was just her, but Kagome had noticed that InuYasha had switched his blue hat to a red & white one. (Rikku: Red, black, white and blue, an interesting combination I chose this guy to CONSTANTLY wear, ne?) Could her party count as a special occassion or something like that to him? She had no clue. But as Kagome eyed InuYasha's fashion statement, she noticed that some of the descriptions Sango had described InuYasha with were starting to REALLY define him in Kagome's view. But she didn't hate him THAT much, did she?
InuYasha didn't seem to have taken in a word Sango had said. He didn't even look insulted. "Feh! That was a pretty good comeback girl." He smirked. "But you wanna know what I'm seeing?"
"Nani?"
"A nosy, bitchy and loud mouth girl that doesn't know when to back off, so scram!!"
Sango was pissed. She knew she was bitchy and a loud mouth, but nosy? Sango couldn't take it. She let out a "Hmph!" and walked away. The audience cheered and immediately turned their heads, knowing what InuYasha would do to them if they didn't.
Kagome was horrfied. How could InuYasha be so cruel? He had never been so rude before...what was his problem now? Surely Sango couldn't have been THAT aggrevating, could she?
But now Kagome was stuck, what was she to do? Confront InuYasha about his rude behavior or comfort Sango in her time of 'sorrow'? For all Kagome knew, Sango could have been destroying her house, trying to get all her anger of of her system. And if InuYasha was left there then he would probably leave without telling Kagome or anything. It would be just like him. So typical. So without thinking it over, she headed for Sango's direction. Friends first, right? Wrong.
As she got closer to her bedroom-the one place she hadn't checked for Sango yet, she could hear someone cursing and speaking in a tone soo deafening. Kagome slowly opened the door.
"WHY THAT LOW LIFE NO GOOD ASSWI-"
"Um...Sango-chan?" Kagome knew she was taking a risk by interrupting but she had to shut Sango up before she scared all the guests off, they were already frightened out of their wits cause of InuYasha.
"WHADDA YOU WANT?!!" Sango screeched, she had been roaming the small room, walking to one side of the room and turning to walk toward the other repeatedly. Sango faced Kagome furiously and glared....it was the coldest glare Kagome had ever seen....seriously.
"I just wanted to check up on you and-"
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING WHEN YOU INVITED THAT-THAT- WHEN YOU INVITED 'HIM'??" This time Sango had interrupted, her LOUD voice had almost knocked Kagome over. When Sango was mad....well it wasn't a pretty sight.
"Gomen.....but I just wanted to-"
"Sango-chan, Kagome-chan!!!"
Why was everyone interrupting each other at that moment? Kagome turned her head and Sango lifted her's higher to look at the tall boy. It was Miroku and his face was marked with hand prints.
'This guy doesn't know how to control that hand of his....' Kagome thought. (Rikku: I didn't wanna put the details of Miroku's recent act but just for humor I'll probably add the ones coming up....heh-heh, I love that guy.^^)
"Calm down, you're scaring off the ladies, and oh Kagome-chan, Kouga's looking for ya better hurry; he's looking kinda desperate...."
"Kag-chan, babe!!! Where are ya?" called Kouga's macho voice.
"IIE!!!! HIDE ME!!!" Kagome shrieked.
"NOT SO FAST KAGOME-CHAN!!!" Sango screamed madly. Her eyes had widened and she had a wicked smile on, she looked pure evil.....
"H-hai??"
"YOU'RE NOT LEAVING MY SIGHT....OH NO YOU'RE NOT.....HA-HA.....KAGOME.....NOT LEAVING I SAID......NOT LEAVING!!!"
She was crazy. Her eyes were just about ready to pop out of their sockets. She was approaching Kagome slowly like a mad killer. Kagome was just about to run away, even anywhere with Kouga would be safer....wait...sooo not safe actually.
"AAAHHHH!!! MIROKU STOP HER!!!!!!" Kagome hollered.
Without thinking twice, Kagome fled knowing that Miroku had her back covered, or actually his hand on SANGO's back. She continued running, boy her shrine was huge but she was thankful for that. She leaped over a few guest's heads and dashed in between the large crowds. But then......
**BONK**
"Ow....." Kagome spoke, she had bump into someone, she fell on her butt and her eyes were shut; for a reason though. She could tell by the almost-rock-solid chest she had bumped into, that it was.....
"Oi! Kag-chan!! Babe, so good to see you!"
Kouga.
"Oh...um....hi Kouga! So good to see you..." Kagome said in a lying voice.
"I was looking everywhere for ya baby. C'mon let's dance!"
'Great...' Kagome thought sarcastically. (sp?) "No, Kouga s'ok.....maybe we can ju-"
But before she knew it, Kagome was in Kouga's arms and he was bringing her with him (duh!) to the center of the 'dance floor' and they had everyone's attention. (Rikku: Wow...Kagome's always in the spotlight, ne?) A slow song was played and Kouga pulled Kagome's arms so that they were wrapped around his neck. And his hands....well let's just say they were lower than they were supposed to be.
Everyone, yes...EVERYONE was looking at them. Kagome wanted to die!!! How long was this song? How desperate was Kouga? And howcome everyone was always directing their eyes toward Kagome?? Everything was going wrong...
Even though Kagome HATED her position, she was forced to dance. I mean, if a guy was trying to dance with you, you wouldn't just stand there and looked like an idiot, would ya? Don't answer that. Kagome looked around her, but she avoided those piercing eyes of Kouga. She watched everyone's blank stares, and zombie-like poses. Why couldn't they just turn their heads? Oh...Kagome just wished that they would just go blind, unexpectedly. She tried not to look at them, but she didn't wanna look at Kouga either. But just then her eyes directed themselves to a boy sitting on HER couch with his cheeks puffed and keeping a pouting-like look steady. InuYasha. He was jealous. It was sooo obvious. And Kagome was actually happy about that. Oooh how she loved to see InuYasha with that certain expression, it was picture perfect! It seemed her enjoyment of InuYasha's jealousy had caused time to speed up a little. Before she knew it the song was finished and she forcefully pulled herself away from Kouga's grip.
"So.....how's the party?" Kagome asked InuYasha, taking a seat on the couch beside him.
"Feh!" he said and with that he ONCE AGAIN turned his head.
Kagome sighed.
..:::Silence:::.. (Rikku: Well actually just between the two.)
Just then, Kagome's cat Buyo (sp?) wandered by.
InuYasha spoke, "You own a CAT?"
"Ya....what's it to you?"
"Feh!!" He got up and headed toward the door.
Kagome acted quick and dashed in front of InuYasha's way. "Where do you think your going?"
"I'm leaving." InuYasha said, pushing Kagome and heading out the door.
Kagome waited a while and when she finally realized that he wasn't coming back, she followed him outside. "InuYasha!!!" she cried whe she spotted him speeding away.
But he didn't stop.
"InuYasha!!!! Why are you leaving??" Kagome yelled. She kept on walking toward him. "W-why can't you stand to be near me?"
Still, he didn't stop.
"Y-you hate me don't ya?"
Finally, he stopped.
"Kagome..." he spoke.
She ran toward him and stopped when she was in front of him once again.
"I-I just can't be around ya..." InuYasha said slowly.
"Why? Because I have a cat?"
"No!!"
"What? I'm not good-looking enough for ya?"
"What has that got to do with any of this?"
"B-because...y-you never look at me...like never directly in the eyes....never..."
InuYasha was silent.
"Well?!"
"Kagome...."
~~~~~~~~~**************~~~~~~~~~~
Rikku: Ok...ready, you gotta picture all of this, ok? InuYasha is gonna start talking about his past, and we're gonna go through his thoughts...yes, there's gonna be some Kikyo in this part, but please don't let that stop you from reading....Ok! Here we go!!! Please note that InuYasha's doing all the talking. I'm just gonna describe the scene he's picturing in his head....Now no more interruptions (well I can't exactly promise that) and let's continue, shall we?
"Kagome....I might now seem the type....but at one point in my life, I wasn't emotionless.....I was...in love..."
InuYasha was leaning on a cherry blossom tree surrounded by nothing but dry forest. A beautiful and young girl that looked very much like Kagome approached InuYasha. He turned his head and smiled at the sight of her. When she was in reach of InuYasha she placed her hand on his arm, InuYasha could remember her touch....it was so gentle. He remembered laying his hand on hers and looking deep into her eyes....her brown and breath-taking eyes.....(Rikku: Ugh...Writing this really made me sick, I know I am responsible for creating this, but how corny did I get?! And it's about InuYasha and Kikyo!!!!!! Which REALLY sickens me.....I think I need a doctor....)
"Her name....it was....K-Kikyo...what I had with her....well....she made me feel like I finally belonged somewhere......(Rikku: Ok....seriously.....EW!!)
Another flashback. It seemed as if it was a few months before or after the previous scene. It was winter. InuYasha was sitting alone on a park bench watching the snow fall gently on the rough cement ground. It was cold. He shuddered. But once again, the same girl from before came up to him, Kikyo.... She took a seat beside him and laid her head on his shoulder. InuYasha blushed furiously and lifted his head, facing the sky. He remembered a cold snowflake falling on his forehead and disolving into a tiny puddle of water. InuYasha was surprised he could call back every bit of the memories he had with Kikyo....(Rikku: Though I wish he forgot....gomen but I just can't stand Kikyo...it's hard to believe I'm gonna give her all this credit...)
"But after....after that day...the day...she..."
This time it was summer. The sky was blue and young boys were running past InuYasha topless and sweating. It was just like how everyday in the summer time had always been. InuYasha would always take Kikyo to the beach....and this flashback was of one of those days....he was on his way to pick her up. When he arrived at her house he knocked hardly on the door. Kikyo answered it and when she spotted InuYasha's eager smile, she smiled too. She picked up a bag and allowed InuYasha to lead the way. It was all so perfect. But...InuYasha remembered what was coming up next....
It happened to fast, Kikyo was also as eager as InuYasha, if not, well more. Her smile never seemed to fade off her face. But as the two walked together a loud 'BANG' was heard. They both turned their heads to the direction that the sound had come from. Screams were heard. InuYasha lifted his head higher trying to see what was happening. But he should've been paying more attention to Kikyo. Another 'BANG'. This time the sound came from beside InuYasha. He looked over. And there she was. Kikyo....bleeding massively....laying unconciously on the sidewalk....InuYasha didn't know what to do. He just froze.
"The rest is all a blur to me....I only remembered staying at the hospital for a few days. I didn't go home. The doctor came out with the news, it turns out there was a gun fight and Kikyo was a victim to it....she died."
~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~~
Rikku: Now, back to the real world. I wanna thank everyone that survived that, lol. But I DID feel bad...I mean I don't wanna be cruel or anything....Well even if you didn't enjoy that I hope you still pictured it in your head like I asked you to, and to those that couldn't and are now suffering from er- more hatred? Than I'm terribly sorry. Gomen!!
Kagome gasped. InuYasha wasn't the cold-hearted tough guy she thought he was. Well acutally he was now, but he had a past with some girl that he obviously loved so dearly.... So...now Kagome knew everything, she was happy that InuYasha was able to open up and tell her all this....she had thought that he could never trust her, but he did. But her happiness was soon taking over by heart-break. Even though she had nothing with InuYasha, she couldn't help but think that she was nothing against Kikyo....even if she was dead. InuYasha would never feel the same way as he did for Kikyo for Kag-.... Wait!! Where was all this going? 'Oh no...' Kagome thought. 'Could I possibly...?'
InuYasha lowered his head, Kagome knew he wanted to cry. He walked by Kagome without another word. Heading- well she didn't even know where he was going, she only knew that he wanted to be away...from HER.
But Kagome didn't have a chance to think twice. She reached for InuYasha's sleeve and held onto it. She refused to let go. She couldn't let him leave without a FULL explaination. Tears started to trickle down her cheeks, she was now facing reality....and it hurt. "Don't leave..."
"I have to go, let go of me!"
"Iie....InuYasha..."
"I told you everything, what more do you want?"
"No...you haven't told me it ALL....why...why can't you look at me? InuYasha, I need to know!"
"Because....K-Kikyo....Kagome, your appearence....and her's.....you...."
"What? We look alike?"
"H-hai..."
"So what? We're two different people, just cause I look like your past love, doesn't mean I AM her....it doesn't mean you can't look at me....this makes no sense...you loved her, and now me...you say I look exactly like her....would you want a reminder of her or something, I-"
"Kagome...the reason why I can't look at you is because....I don't want to go through it all again....THAT'S what your appearence reminds me of....and....and I can't go through it......not again." InuYasha confessed painfully. Kagome didn't want to rush it out of him, but well....she HAD to know....
"What, you think I wanna love you or something?!"
"KAGOME, I HAVE TO GO!" InuYasha pulled his arm and released his sleeve from Kagome's grip. He slowly began to walk again.
Kagome was left there....crying. She just didn't understand him. Why? Why did he have to be like that? She watched InuYasha's back and when it was out of sight, she fell on her knees. "Inu-InuYasha...."

Finally! Chapter done! Heh-heh, took awhile but I told ya I would finish. Thanks for all your reviews and please note that 7&8 are on their way!! PLEASE R&R!!!

Chapter 6: InuYasha's Past and Kagome's Tears.
There she was. Face to face to HIM. It wasn't like he was the guest of honour or anything, it was just well....just like she was to him.....he was special to her. In a way, he was the reason why Kagome was so desperate to have her party. But she waited, and waited for him.....and he was LATE. But, oh well....it only mattered if he came, right?

Kagome's eyes were widened. It hit her. Just like that. InuYasha never cared. Not for her. Not for anyone else. It was hard to believe she had ever felt bad for him or even....even....liked him. But not JUST as a friend as a....
"OI! KAGOME!! YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE OR WHAT? LEMME IN YOUR SHRINE NOW!!" InuYasha roared. He was REALLY making a scene.
Kagome had finally snapped out of her shocked-(Rikku: Bad 'shocked')state. "Alright! Just let me open the door, you're really distracting me with your constant nagging!"
"How hard is it to open a door?!"
"With your big mouth....? Then it's harder than you think..." Kagome said under her breath.
"Nani?!"
"Nothing...." Kagome said finally opening the door.
"ARIGATOU!!!" InuYasha said, irratated. He sighed heavily and plopped down on one of Kagome's two sofas. He noticed that everyone was eyeing him so he gave all the guests a cold look. They all turned their heads fearfully and went back to their business. Next where the innocent people sitting on 'his' couch. He turned his head both ways and hissed at them. All of them quickly ran away out of sight, except for one girl. Sango.
'She doesn't know what she's getting herself into...' Kagome thought. She shut the door behind her as she walked toward InuYasha and her best friend.
They were both staring at each other with cold, cold, cold, cold (Rikku: Okay, I'll get to the point) stares. Kagome even stopped dead in her tracks, as if she were approaching two wild wolves.
"What are YOU looking at?" InuYasha said. Once again the crowd of people focused their attention to yet another scene. (Rikku: What is UP with these people?! @.@) The tone of InuYasha's voice caused all the teens to gasp.

"Sango-chan, Kagome-chan!!!"
Why was everyone interrupting each other at that moment? Kagome turned her head and Sango lifted her's higher to look at the tall boy. It was Miroku and his face was marked with hand prints.
'This guy doesn't know how to control that hand of his....' Kagome thought. (Rikku: I didn't wanna put the details of Miroku's recent act but just for humor I'll probably add the ones coming up....heh-heh, I love that guy.^^)
"Calm down, you're scaring off the ladies, and oh Kagome-chan, Kouga's looking for ya better hurry; he's looking kinda desperate...."

'Great...' Kagome thought sarcastically. (sp?) "No, Kouga s'ok.....maybe we can ju-"
But before she knew it, Kagome was in Kouga's arms and he was bringing her with him (duh!) to the center of the 'dance floor' and they had everyone's attention. (Rikku: Wow...Kagome's always in the spotlight, ne?) A slow song was played and Kouga pulled Kagome's arms so that they were wrapped around his neck.

"So.....how's the party?" Kagome asked InuYasha, taking a seat on the couch beside him.
"Feh!" he said and with that he ONCE AGAIN turned his head.
Kagome sighed.
..:::Silence:::.. (Rikku: Well actually just between the two.)
Just then, Kagome's cat Buyo (sp?) wandered by.
InuYasha spoke, "You own a CAT?"
"Ya....what's it to you?"
"Feh!!" He got up and headed toward the door.
Kagome acted quick and dashed in front of InuYasha's way. "Where do you think your going?"
"I'm leaving." InuYasha said, pushing Kagome and heading out the door.
Kagome waited a while and when she finally realized that he wasn't coming back, she followed him outside. "InuYasha!!!" she cried whe she spotted him speeding away.
But he didn't stop.
"InuYasha!!!! Why are you leaving??" Kagome yelled. She kept on walking toward him. "W-why can't you stand to be near me?"
Still, he didn't stop.
"Y-you hate me don't ya?"
Finally, he stopped.
"Kagome..." he spoke.
She ran toward him and stopped when she was in front of him once again.
"I-I just can't be around ya..." InuYasha said slowly.
"Why? Because I have a cat?"
"No!!"
"What? I'm not good-looking enough for ya?"
"What has that got to do with any of this?"
"B-because...y-you never look at me...like never directly in the eyes....never..."
InuYasha was silent.
"Well?!"
"Kagome...."
~~~~~~~~~**************~~~~~~~~~~
Rikku: Ok...ready, you gotta picture all of this, ok? InuYasha is gonna start talking about his past, and we're gonna go through his thoughts...yes, there's gonna be some Kikyo in this part, but please don't let that stop you from reading....Ok! Here we go!!! Please note that InuYasha's doing all the talking. I'm just gonna describe the scene he's picturing in his head....Now no more interruptions (well I can't exactly promise that) and let's continue, shall we?
"Kagome....I might now seem the type....but at one point in my life, I wasn't emotionless.....I was...in love..."
InuYasha was leaning on a cherry blossom tree surrounded by nothing but dry forest. A beautiful and young girl that looked very much like Kagome approached InuYasha. He turned his head and smiled at the sight of her. When she was in reach of InuYasha she placed her hand on his arm, InuYasha could remember her touch....it was so gentle. He remembered laying his hand on hers and looking deep into her eyes....her brown and breath-taking eyes.....(Rikku: Ugh...Writing this really made me sick, I know I am responsible for creating this, but how corny did I get?! And it's about InuYasha and Kikyo!!!!!! Which REALLY sickens me.....I think I need a doctor....)
"Her name....it was....K-Kikyo...what I had with her....well....she made me feel like I finally belonged somewhere......(Rikku: Ok....seriously.....EW!!)
Another flashback. It seemed as if it was a few months before or after the previous scene. It was winter. InuYasha was sitting alone on a park bench watching the snow fall gently on the rough cement ground. It was cold. He shuddered. But once again, the same girl from before came up to him, Kikyo.... She took a seat beside him and laid her head on his shoulder. InuYasha blushed furiously and lifted his head, facing the sky. He remembered a cold snowflake falling on his forehead and disolving into a tiny puddle of water. InuYasha was surprised he could call back every bit of the memories he had with Kikyo....(Rikku: Though I wish he forgot....gomen but I just can't stand Kikyo...it's hard to believe I'm gonna give her all this credit...)
"But after....after that day...the day...she..."
This time it was summer. The sky was blue and young boys were running past InuYasha topless and sweating. It was just like how everyday in the summer time had always been. InuYasha would always take Kikyo to the beach....and this flashback was of one of those days....he was on his way to pick her up. When he arrived at her house he knocked hardly on the door. Kikyo answered it and when she spotted InuYasha's eager smile, she smiled too. She picked up a bag and allowed InuYasha to lead the way. It was all so perfect. But...InuYasha remembered what was coming up next....
It happened to fast, Kikyo was also as eager as InuYasha, if not, well more. Her smile never seemed to fade off her face. But as the two walked together a loud 'BANG' was heard. They both turned their heads to the direction that the sound had come from. Screams were heard. InuYasha lifted his head higher trying to see what was happening. But he should've been paying more attention to Kikyo. Another 'BANG'. This time the sound came from beside InuYasha. He looked over. And there she was. Kikyo....bleeding massively....laying unconciously on the sidewalk....InuYasha didn't know what to do. He just froze.
"The rest is all a blur to me....I only remembered staying at the hospital for a few days. I didn't go home. The doctor came out with the news, it turns out there was a gun fight and Kikyo was a victim to it....she died."
~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~~
Rikku: Now, back to the real world. I wanna thank everyone that survived that, lol. But I DID feel bad...I mean I don't wanna be cruel or anything....Well even if you didn't enjoy that I hope you still pictured it in your head like I asked you to, and to those that couldn't and are now suffering from er- more hatred? Than I'm terribly sorry. Gomen!!
Kagome gasped. InuYasha wasn't the cold-hearted tough guy she thought he was. Well acutally he was now, but he had a past with some girl that he obviously loved so dearly.... So...now Kagome knew everything, she was happy that InuYasha was able to open up and tell her all this....she had thought that he could never trust her, but he did. But her happiness was soon taking over by heart-break. Even though she had nothing with InuYasha, she couldn't help but think that she was nothing against Kikyo....even if she was dead. InuYasha would never feel the same way as he did for Kikyo for Kag-.... Wait!! Where was all this going? 'Oh no...' Kagome thought. 'Could I possibly...?'
InuYasha lowered his head, Kagome knew he wanted to cry. He walked by Kagome without another word. Heading- well she didn't even know where he was going, she only knew that he wanted to be away...from HER.
But Kagome didn't have a chance to think twice. She reached for InuYasha's sleeve and held onto it. She refused to let go. She couldn't let him leave without a FULL explaination. Tears started to trickle down her cheeks, she was now facing reality....and it hurt. "Don't leave..."
"I have to go, let go of me!"
"Iie....InuYasha..."
"I told you everything, what more do you want?"
"No...you haven't told me it ALL....why...why can't you look at me? InuYasha, I need to know!"
"Because....K-Kikyo....Kagome, your appearence....and her's.....you...."
"What? We look alike?"
"H-hai..."
"So what? We're two different people, just cause I look like your past love, doesn't mean I AM her....it doesn't mean you can't look at me....this makes no sense...you loved her, and now me...you say I look exactly like her....would you want a reminder of her or something, I-"
"Kagome...the reason why I can't look at you is because....I don't want to go through it all again....THAT'S what your appearence reminds me of....and....and I can't go through it......not again." InuYasha confessed painfully. Kagome didn't want to rush it out of him, but well....she HAD to know....
"What, you think I wanna love you or something?!"
"KAGOME, I HAVE TO GO!" InuYasha pulled his arm and released his sleeve from Kagome's grip. He slowly began to walk again.
Kagome was left there....crying. She just didn't understand him. Why? Why did he have to be like that? She watched InuYasha's back and when it was out of sight, she fell on her knees. "Inu-InuYasha...."
