Chapter 4 ~ Inu Yasha's Epiphany

Inu Yasha had slowly walked away from her, but then burst into a run. He ran away from Kagome, but also away from everyone else. He needed time to himself to sort through what he was feeling.
"I can't believe she said that to me." He said aloud to himself. "Am I really treating her that bad?" He began to think back on the time they spent together as this journey for the jewel shards went along. He thought about how they fought side by side and collected the jewel shards together. He thought about how many times he had saved her when danger was near.
"Feh.I don't know what she's talking about." Inu Yasha said to himself.
However, there was a tugging on his heart. He then drifted back to his thoughts of Kagome and him. He then began to remember all the fights that they had. How he had tried to show no emotion to her and spoke to her coldly. He had ordered her around more often than not and rarely, if ever, gave her a compliment. He remembered the fight they had last night. He knew he had hurt her. He had wanted to reach out to her and apologize. He wanted to hold her, show her exactly how much she meant to him. But his pride had gotten in the way.again.
He put up his defensive wall to keep her out. He was afraid for her to get too close. The only other person to become close to him was Kikyo. But Kikyo broke his heart, even after she learned that Naraku had tricked them. He still cares for the miko, but has long since lost hope for them to be together. Now, he just wanted to protect her now so she could rest in peace. He was willing to go to Hell with her before, but now.he wasn't sure if he could leave Kagome. He finally realized that the Kikyo he loved had been long gone for a while. Fifty years to be exact. She is nothing but a soulless piece of flesh.
Kagome, however, is a different story. She is full of life and energy. And her scent.it drives him wild when she is near. He is able to control himself most of the time, but there have been periods where he had to keep his distance to resist the urge to take her and make her his mate. He had tried to protect her from his youkai side. Mostly, though, he wanted, and still does, to protect her.period. Now a day, he just wants to see that she is happy and that fire inside of her is always flaring.
"Is this what love is? What I felt for Kikyo was different. I.I'm in love with Kagome." Inu Yasha whispers to himself. "More than I could have ever loved Kikyo."
With that, he began to run back.back to her. He must apologize. He remembers the look on her face.that look of pain and torment. He doesn't want to put her through that again.ever. He began to run faster and faster, using his nose, he traces her scent. Her intoxicating scent. He started to realize most of his surroundings and saw Kaede's village in sight. He began to feel uneasy which made him push himself to the breaking point.
He finally arrived at the village, but could not find Kagome. He eventually caught up to Sango, Miroku, and Shippou coming out of the forest.
"Hey! Where's Kagome?!" he yelled.
They all looked at him; sadness was clearly registered on their faces. Then he caught her scent.no her blood. With that he ran into the forest as fast as he could while screaming her name. The sun was finally setting from a long and hard day.
