Kagome sobbed into her damp pillow.
'Why Inu-Yasha? How could you? Even after I promised to stay with you, you choose Kikyo, and decide to go to hell with her?'
~~~~
Kagome stood up from her seat on the edge of the well.
"Can I stay with you?"
"Will you stay with me?"
Kagome smiled and reached out, holding onto his hand. His fingers wrapped around her small hand.
They're hands fit perfectly together, as two pieces of a puzzle would.
~~~~
'Was I just a shard detector, after all?'
Tears spilled down her cheeks. Her hair was fanned out, in a raven mess.
Eventually, Kagome cried herself to sleep.
-~-
Inu-Yasha slid the window open. Looking in, he spotted Kagome asleep on her bed.
The scent of tears was strong. Inu-Yasha's felt as if someone had stabbed a knife through his heart, knowing that he had caused her all the pain.
Jumping into Kagome's room, he crouched down at her bedside, watching her sleep.
'I'm sorry Kagome...I made a stupid mistake...I don't love Kikyo...'
Kagome shifted in her sleep. "Inu-Yasha..." she whispered.
The said hanyou stared. 'She's dreaming about...me?'
A solitary tear ran down her face.
The knife in Inu-Yasha's heart twisted. 'She's...crying...in her sleep.'
Reaching out, he touched her cheek with his hand. "I'm sorry, Kagome."
Suddenly, her eyes fluttered open. She gasped and pulled away.
"Inu-Yasha! Why...why are y-you here?" She asked, before breaking down into sobs again.
Inu-Yasha felt the knife twist, again. "Kagome, I'm..."
Kagome stared at him with betrayal in her teary eyes. "How could you, Inu- Yasha? After all these years, you still loved Kikyo? You're willing to throw me aside, to stay with her in hell forever? Even after she tried to kill me, and sided with Naraku before? You can so easily forgive her?"
Inu-Yasha blinked. 'She's right. Kikyo did have many faults...I've just been too blind to see...'
Kagome took his silence the wrong way. "Are you here to kill me? So Kikyo can have her full soul again? Or are you here to mock me?"
Inu-Yasha shook his head. "No! I'm sorry, I just-"
"Sorry that you didn't abandon be sooner? Sorry that Kikyo couldn't get her full soul, because I was born?"
"NO! Kagome, listen to m-"
"Maybe I should have listened to Kouga. He's right; you're just as he described you. I've been a fool; after all, Kouga would have been more intelligent, and a lot nicer."
Inu-Yasha realized that Kagome had used almost the exact words he had used during their first encounter.
But her words stung. They angered him. "Shut up, and listen to me!" He growled.
Kagome flinched and drew back.
Inu-Yasha bit his bottom lip. 'Great, now she's afraid of me.'
"I'm sorry Kagome, but when you talk about that wolf..."
Kagome, however, still looked at him with terrified eyes, huddled in the corner of her bed.
Inu-Yasha felt as if someone had stabbed another knife into his heart.
"Please, I'm sorry Kagome. I don't want you to be scared of me," he felt tears come to his eyes. Before he met Kagome, everyone was afraid of him. Kagome changed that. But now she was, too?
"Please, listen to what I have to say."
"You betrayed me."
Inu-Yasha froze. 'The exact words Kikyo said...'
He came to a conclusion: it was hopeless. He had screwed up, big time, and he couldn't undo what he already did.
His head hung low, bangs covering his eyes. "I'm sorry...I...chose Kikyo. But, I don't want to be with Kikyo anymore...so, I hope you can someday forgive me. But, I want you to know Kagome..."
He walked over to the window, preparing to leave.
"I just want you to know...that I love you."
He was starting to jump out, when he heard Kagome's voice.
"Wait."
