Hey guys! I'm sorry about the last chappie :'-( It's ok if you didn't like it... I didn't like it, actually but more to come YAY! Thanks for so many reviews, and I'm sorry to say that not everybody liked it *cries* oh well. I'll work harder on this next one to make you guys happy! WHEE! Kikyo's job is SO not over yet *laughs evilly*

***********************Chapter 9: Sorrows and Confessions

Kikyo was in more pain than she could have imagined, the only thing that was keeping her alive were the dead souls that she collected. The Miko had ripped every one from her, she was still alive, but unable to move. Why was Inu-yasha reacting like this? Hadn't they sworn to be together forever until they both died? The only thing that she could think of was that damned bitch, Kagome. She felt herself falling, to endless depths, before she landed with a thump on the other side. She tried to get up, but failed horribly. She couldn't even move. Just laid there, in the bottom of the well.

********************

Back in Kagome's time, Inu-yasha was making his way back to the house. He had to admit that he felt sorry for Kikyo, but at the same time; she was always there, when unwanted. He opened the door and came back to the side of his injured love. She was tossing in her sleep, and her face was shining. her eyebrows were furrowed and she was frowning. Miroku was still by her side, but was standing in the doorway, wanting to leave this to Inu-yasha. Inu-yasha shook her violently, calling her name.

He said, worry filling his throat

She opened her eyes and found her staring into Inu-yasha's.

Where is she!?! she raised her fists in an offensive position. Let me at her!!

You did this freaky spell thing that stole her dead souls, Miroku said, walking back over to her and kneeling at her side.

Her wha?

Dead souls

You mean those things that she captures with her demons?

Lay back down. Inu-yasha pushed her back down to the floor.

I did a spell? She asked him. I know I'm supposed to be her reincarnation, but STRONGER than her? She whistled through her teeth.

Kagome sat, thinking, not paying attention if either boys said something to her, of course she wasn't listening, so she wouldn't know if they did. Why had she attacked Kikyo like that? Was it because of Inu-yasha? That one time when Kikyo was filled with miasma, she had save her, only because Inu-yasha would never forgive her if she didn't. All of that anger from wanting her to go away had built up in her. If you can imagine, having someone you loved with you, doing something romantic (for Inu-yasha sitting together was romantic enough) and his bad-tempered, horrible, beautiful-in-a-bad-way, self centered, bitch-of-a-mother ex-girlfriend kept on showing up and finding ways to make him leave her and the group, just to find she was trying to bring him to hell again. And all those times she tried to kill Kagome, just because she was in the way'.

How could any one fall in love with a maniac?





she looked up, just snapped out of her Kikyo-ass-kicking fantasies.

Come with me, please.... Inu-yasha grabbed her hand and led her away from Miroku.

Inu-yasha..... you're not mad at me, are you?

Inu-yasha stopped walking to turn around and face her. She was startled to see his eyes were filled to the brim with worry, betrayal, and..... Her eyes might have been tricking her, but she saw concern. He brought her closer, she was almost scared, as if it were completely different from the other times that they had shown the love that they had for each other.

Of course I'm not mad at you. He said simply as he brought her even closer, into a hug. He placed her head on his shoulder, and began to comb her silky hair with his claws.

She stuttered. What is this about, Inu-yasha?

When you were fighting Kikyo, I was so worried. I know her really well, and she was serious about killing you. That arrow that she missed was aimed for your heart, but she was filled with jealousy and hate that she missed. He murmured into her back. Her eyes filled with tears.

She put her arms around his shoulders and openly cried into the space between his chin and neck. I was s-so scared! She sobbed. He was so shocked, had he made her cry!? Something about the moment was telling him no. He rubbed her back and she hugged him tighter.

Don't you ever leave me, Inu-yasha! He started at these words. Had he ever left her? But then it hit him hard in face. The reason she had burst out on Kikyo was because of himself. He was always leaving Kagome with the others to go and chase rumors about a priestess that healing abilities. The guilt of what happened overwhelmed him. He set Kagome out in front of him.

Kagome, I'm so sorry! He hated saying sorry, but right now he just needed to swallow his pride. I'll never leave you, ever again! Even if Kikyo turns back to normal and vows to live with me as a human, I'll refuse and tell her- and tell her I- But his voice kept on sticking. The view in front of him was too pitiful. She had tears streaming down her face and her eyes were wide and shining.

A-and what would you t-tell her, Inu-y-yasha?

That I love someone else.
