" SIT ! " hollered a pissed off Kagome. Her eyes widened with anger and fists clenched tightly.
Inuyasha banged to the floor, groaning in pain.
" Lady Kagome, Inuyasha was very rude to mention Kikyou, but why are you so angered ? All he said was if we past Inuyasha Forest, we might see her. What, has this have any of your business ? " said Miroku calmly.
Kagome blushes intensely, " DO I HAVE TO SIT YOU TOO MIROKU ?! " she shrieked, still blushing. Instantly, Miroku was found behind Sango,
" Guess not, Kagome. " Sango sighed, and bashed Miroku on the head as she felt a hand on her tush.
Inuyasha, who was getting up from all the dirt growled, " You know what Kagome ? I think you're JEALOUS ! "
" JEALOUS OF WHAT ? I have NO idea what you're talking about .. HALF BREED ! " Instantly, Kagome slapped her hand over her mouth. What have I said ? Why am I so angered ?
Inuyasha's face quickly cringed in surprise and anger. Only Kouga says stuff like that ! How dare she .. " YOU STUPID WENCH ! YOU KNOW WHAT ? I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE. YOU SHOULD RUN OFF AND GO BACK HOME IF ALL I CARE ! AND GUESS WHAT ? I WONT COME AFTER YOU ! " Inuyasha turned around and sprinted off. Shippou, who was on Sango's shoulder huffed, " INUYASHA COME BACK HERE ! "
Kagome stood there through all of Inuyasha's yelling in silence. Is that what he really wants of me ?
" Oh Kagome ! You know how sensitive Inuyasha is. You're NOT going to leave .. are you ? " Sango asked, concerned.
Shippou started to wail, " YOU CANT LEAVE AGAIN KAGOME ! I'LL MISS YOU ! " he sniffed.
" No Shippou, I wont. " Kagome sighed. " I'm just going to take a walk okay ? Don't come after me, Inuyasha will get mad. " Kagome smiled weakly at her friends and walked off in a daze.
" Why care about Inuyasha if he would be mad or not, Kagome ? " Miroku called after her, before receiving a whack on the head by Sango.
Kagome walked along, leaving her friends behind and thought deeply. Inuyasha's probably so pissed off at me right now. Me and my BIG mouth. Ugh. Miroku was right. Why do I care so much ? No .. Kagome stopped walking, sighed and sat down next to a shady tree. Do I really love him ? Kagome burst out laughing. Why would I love that stupid arrogant no-brain half dog demon ? Kagome smiled to herself. Because he's handsome, brave and is always protecting you no matter what ! A voice in Kagome's head suddenly said. SHUT UP ! Kagome thought, her face burning up. Well, it IS kind of true .. huh, what the ? Kagome looked up at the tree she was leaning on, feeling a strange warm feeling. It was the Goshinboku tree. She sighed and smiled secretly. This was where Inuyasha and I met. She could almost hear his husky voice yelling at her, calling her "KIKYOU" over and over. Kagome remembered the name, and shuddered with sadness. Why must Inuyasha always think of her ? Why her ? Why not .. me ?
" Dog-face left you again, eh Kagome ? " a voice suddenly appeared behind her.
" SIT !!! " screeched Kagome, thinking it was Inuyasha.
" Why are you thinking about him Kagome ? Its just me. Kouga. " Kouga's confident face appeared behind her and smiled arrogantly.
" Oh .. hey K-Kouga. " Kagome stammered, embarrassed.
" Kagome, why are you here ? Did the dumb mutt face hurt you .. or ... "
" No, Kouga. " Kagome laughed lightly, " I'm just clearing up my mind. Um, we kind of had a argument, that's all .. " Kagome froze halfway. Why the hell did I tell KOUGA of all people ? I guess because he cares. If Inuyasha ever see me with him like this .. he'll ..
Suddenly, she felt a warm embrace of fur and muscles bounding her. " K-Kouga ? " she asked, surprised.
In a surprisingly gentle and tender voice, Kouga murmured, " You don't have to think about him all the time, Kagome. You really don't need him. He doesn't even protect you and goes off with that damned Kikyou. You're MY woman now. " Kouga hugged her tighter, and Kagome relaxed. This is kinda nice ..
" Yeah .. " Kagome said absentmindly, her worries suddenly drifted off, melting into Kouga's soft fur.
Inuyasha sprinted off, pissed off at what Kagome said to him. How dare that stupid wench call me a HALF BREED ? out of all these people, KAGOME calls me a HALF BREED ! whats next ? Shippou sitting me ? Inuyasha growled in annoyance, and sat down to think. Why did Kagome care so much when I mentioned Kikyou anyways ? Is she .. jealous ? Inuyasha started to laugh. Yeah right .. jealous for what reason ? Inuyasha continued to smirk to himself, when he heard two voices behind the bush he was sitting on. He turned around and listened with his ears twitching.
" K-Kouga ? " gasped a voice.
"You have to think about him all the time, Kagome. You really don't need him. He doesn't even protect you and goes off with that damned Kikyou. You're MY woman now. " There was a sound of ruffling, like two bodies embracing.
" Yeah .. " There was another sound of ruffling. Like somebody was burying deeper into the other person's arms.
Inuyasha teeth started to bare. He recognized those two voices. KAGOME AND KOUGA ! How dare that bitch diss MY Kikyou, leave me and go to .. to .. HIM ! THAT DAMNED WOLF BAG ! How could she do this to me .. Inuyasha was so tempted to leap out when Kagome started to talk.
" Thanks Kouga. You're much more sensitive than Inuyasha. Thank you."
" No problem .. " Inuyasha clenched his fists into a ball, sinking his claws in his palm. He growled as he peered through the bush and saw ..
KOUGA WAS KISSING KAGOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And did she give a damn ? NO !
He couldn't take it anymore, he leapt out the bushes and sprinted off, careful not to make too much sound so that Kouga wouldn't sense him.
" KOUGA ! " Kagome pulled away abruptly and whacked Kouga across the face. Kouga stumbled back, still smiling from the kiss.
" What's the matter Kagome, my love ? Feeling shy ? "
" Err .. don't do that anymore .. o-okay ? I have to go, Kouga, the others are probably worrying. " Kagome scampered off, leaving a satisfied Kouga behind.
" Inuyasha ? Where have you been ? We were wondering where you went. Kagome just walked off, I think she was a tad upset when you screamed at her. Inuyasha ? Are you listening ? " called out Miroku, breaking into Inuyasha's angry thoughts when he approached them.
I can't believe it. KAGOME KISSED KOUGA. I haven't even SEEN Kikyou, and I just MENTION her name, she goes off, KISSING WOLF BOY! Inuyasha was still growling with anger when he woke from his thoughts, hearing the monk's voice.
" Shut up Miroku. You have no damn right telling ME what to do. Why don't you go tell Kagome's little wolf boy all this shit ? " Inuyasha barked and walked off a distance and sat down, his legs crossed, tucking his arms in his sleeves.
" What did Inuyasha mean by telling us to tell Kouga ? " asked Sango when Inuyasha was walked away from them.
" MAYBE INUYASHA SAW KAGOME AND KOUGA TOGETHER ! " yelled out Shippou, Sango quickly shushed him.
" Inuyasha has very good hearing, Shippou, don't yell so loud. Miroku, you think this is .. " Sango paused as she felt a hand groping her butt.
WHACK ! " YOU STUPID MONK, YOU'D GROPE AT A TIME LIKE THIS ! " Kagome heard as she walked a distance near her friends.
" What happened guys ? I'm back from my walk. " Kagome announced as she chuckled at the bump on Miroku's head.
" Kagome ! Where have you been ? Inuyasha came back, and he looks pretty peeved off for some reason ! He said we should go tell Kouga .. " Sango slapped her hand over Shippou's loud mouth, as Kagome stared at Sango and Shippou suspiciously.
" What about Kouga ? " asked Kagome, eyeing the two of them.
" It seems, Lady Kagome, that Inuyasha, thought you and Kouga were together for a while when he came back. We don't know what he meant though. Um, were you seeing Kouga ? " Miroku explained, recovering from his injury.
" OH NO ! " squealed Kagome. " Kouga saw me alone and he came up to me ! HE KISSED ME ! Do you think Inuyasha saw ? "
" WHAT !!!!!!!!! " yelled all three of her friends, staring at her like she was crazy.
" WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU KISS KOUGA, KAGOME ! HAVE YOU GONE CRAZY ? " yelled Shippou, as he jumped up and down.
" He kissed me Shippou ! He kissed me when I wasn't noticing ! " protested Kagome, panicking.
" Maybe you should talk to Inuyasha, Kagome. He's very upset right now. " suggested Sango, as she gave Miroku the evil eye, as he neared her butt again.
" Yeah .. " Kagome nodded and walked up to Inuyasha and plopped down next to him nervously.
" Hi Inuyasha .. you know the time when I called you a half breed ? I was wrong .. "
Inuyasha just huffed and turned his head. Oh why does he have to make it so difficult for me .. why cant he listen to MY side of the story for once ? I always let him go on the KIKYOU thing, why cant he give me a break with Kouga ? Suddenly, all this came over Kagome's head as Inuyasha spoked arrogantly, " Damn right you were wrong. And you know, I SAW you with Kouga. I always thought you were stupid, but not THAT stupid. Stupid enough to kiss the flea-bag. I was just SICKENED ! " Inuyasha retorted, as he sniffed with disgust.
That was just the last straw for Kagome. " LISTEN INUYASHA ! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO ! AT LEAST HE'S MORE COMPASSIONATE THAN YOU ! YOU HAVE NO FEELINGS AND YOU DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT ME ! I SHOULD LEAVE FOR GOOD ! " Kagome bolted up, her eyes filled with hot tears.
" WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD ! " Inuyasha got up after her and stared at her with narrowed eyes. " At least Kikyou had better sense ! I don't even know WHAT I saw in you ! You're just a mere JEWEL DETECTOR to me ! Kikyou's my TRUE love ! You mean NOTHING to me, Kagome ! " blurted out Inuyasha, furious with Kagome's attitude.
Kagome stood there, trembling from head to toe. He hates me. I see it now. He'll always love Kikyou no matter what she has done to me. Even if she kills me. Kagome turned around slowly and sighed, her shoulders shaking. " You're right Inuyasha. I'm nothing BUT a jewel detector. But you know what ? " Kagome turned and stared at Inuyasha with such cold and hateful eyes, it frightened Inuyasha for a moment, " At least I'm smart enough not to love a dead miko. " With those final insults, Kagome ran for it. She left her bag, bows and arrows but she didn't care. She couldn't let Inuyasha see her cry. Not now. She wasn't suppose to care, but she did, her heart was heavy as she pounded her shoes and leapt inside Inuyasha Forest.
Inuyasha stood there, watching Kagome flee. He felt stung by the words Kagome, the soft cheerful positive Kagome, had shot at him. Her eyes were so calm and dark, it was frightening. At least I'm smart enough not to love a dead miko. She had said before running off. WHAT THE HELL DOES SHE KNOW ? Thought Inuyasha, his claws flexing uncontrollably.
" Inuyasha. Perhaps you should go after .. " started Miroku, but ceased as Inuyasha gave him a death glare.
" Why ? Because she can't detect anymore jewel shards ? I don't care if she goes home and seals that stupid well. We were better off without her. " Inuyasha turned around and walked off.
Kagome continued running, crying like she wouldn't cry again. It hurt so much for her to insult Inuyasha like that, especially when Inuyasha always gets hurt protecting Kagome. But Kagome didn't care if Inuyasha didn't fight for her, she just wanted him to love her like he loved Kikyou. She didn't know why but that was all she wanted in this world right now. That was all she was thinking when she ran into Inuyasha Forest, blinded by tears. She tripped and knocked right into the Goshinkobu Tree, where she and Inuyasha united in the first place.
" WHY ? WHY ME WHY ME ! " Kagome screeched, pounding at the tree. Why did I have to meet him ? Why ..
" You are having this treatment because you don't deserve Inuyasha. " a cold spine-chilling voice replied her.
Kagome jerked around, alarmed. " W-whose there ?! " Damn .. I-I don't have my bow and arrows. She quickly wiped away her tears, trying to look tough at her enemy who started to approach her.
A pale miko, with raven black hair, dressed in a white a red kimono was seen. " What you said really hurt Inuyasha, now, he doesn't care if you go home and seal the well. He said so himself. " Kikyou's chilly voice rang into the empty forest, piercing Kagome's heart.
" Did .. did he really say that ? " Kagome squeaked helplessly. He hates me .. ?
Kikyou smiled and she laughed. Laughed a scary, victorious, laugh. " Why of course Kagome ! He hates you ! He only loves me, and was sworn to protect me, has he not say so ? I wanted to help you, Kagome, by destroying you from all your pain and suffering, but you decided to return to the ungrateful half dog demon. " Kikyou bored her eyes into Kagome, making Kagome flinch.
" INUYASHA WOULD NEVER SAY THAT ! YOU WOULD NEVER HELP ME ! STOP IT .. just stop it .. " Kagome crumpled to the floor, crying all over again.
" Poor Kagome. I will free you from all this pain. I will stop. After I destroy you. " Kikyou held her bow and arrow in place, aiming right at the lost Kagome on the ground. " Free you. I will free you Kagome. Just don't move .. " Kikyou's grey eyes was growing with hatred, she aimed and let the arrow go .. right at Kagome's heart.
