"In.....Inuyasha?" Kagome's voice peeped quietly.
"Why do you seem so confused?" Kikyo asked, eyeing the glossy eyed girl.
Kagome took two steps backward saying out loud as if to confirm it,
"When I went to sleep.....you weren't here." She said pointing to Kikyo. "And....this...is different. This is not right. Something's wrong!"
"Kagome," Inuyasha started, his eyes calm and cool as his reactions. "I thought you understood about kikyo. I thought I explained to you how I could never forget her. I thought you knew that Kikyo and I were meant for eachother, and that you..." his voice trailed off, almost a bit sad and quiet. "You were only the shard detector that met me by accident."
"Accident you say...." Kagome said, her head lowered to her chest, her bangs covering her eyes now forming with tears. "Are you saying that we met by accident? That I'm just an accident with time? That......our relationship.......was just an accident?"
"Kagome," Inuyasha comforted softly reaching a hand out to her.
"No! I understand," Kagome said not bothering to wipe the small tears starting to overflow in her eyes. "Inuyasha," she asked quietly while slowly backing away into the darkness of the woods. "Did you ever think,....that maybe....just maybe if you died that day with kikyo. That you might have been born in my time and we could've met, because our souls our meant for eachother? That, that "accident with time" was really my soul trying to find you?"
Kikyo stood still listening. True her body was formed of hatred for Inuyasha, and maybe her soul really did now belong to that girl, but now that girl had disapeard into the woods where kikyo couldn't see that far. Or hear her faint whispering.
But Inuyasha did.
"That maybe....you are meant to let go of the past and try to love the kikyo in me, but not because I'm her reincarnation, but because...In a way I'm the kikyo you love and more?" Kagome said faintly, hoping Inuyasha heard every word she spoke so slowly.
"...I've learned my true human form power Inuyasha, one that is not reborn from Kikyo. It's Love. Loving for who or what something is.....and so much more." She finished silently turning and running back towards the hut.
Inuyasha stood dumbfounded. He couldn't speak. His head hurt from all the thinking and choosing he had gone through.
"Have I made the wrong choice?" he thought to himself, looking back at the cold and lifeless small bit of soul he thought he loved kikyo, to the broken hearted and spilling over soul that he felt a deep connection with, Kagome.
Kagome slowed to a small walk once the hut was in view.
"If he really loves me he will come." She kept repeating to herself.
"Please Inuyasha.....love me."
She stopped at the steps to kaede's hut and sighed, wiping away the last but not the end of her salty cold tears. "He didn't come."
"Why do you seem so confused?" Kikyo asked, eyeing the glossy eyed girl.
