Here it goes!
"Kikyo!" What did you do to her?" Inuyasha yelled at the top of his lungs.
"You shouldn't of brought her here in the first place." She responded firmly.
"I caught your scent in the whole area I found Kagome beaten. You did* do it." He said clutching her shoulders.
"What if I did?" Kikyo said turning around to face him.
"Why.?" Inuyasha asked, not knowing why she'd want to hurt Kagome. "She never did anything to harm you.. Your trying to kill her for no reason."
"I didn't hurt her..But, that girl doesn't belong in this time. You'll only hurt her if she stays." She responded coldly, lying and glaring at him.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"You haven't kept the promises you made me....Why her?" She asked.
"Kikyo, I've told you. Nothing can change the way I feel about you. (A/N No this isn't a Kik/Inu fic.) What does Kagome have to do with anything?"
"I didn't hurt her.." Kikyo lied looking out into the horizon. "I just don't see why it is necessary to keep her here."
"Why did I find your scent then?"
"Before she was attacked, I was speaking with her. I saw her get attacked by a demon. I chose not to interfere."
"WHAT?"
"I must be going now. Farewell." She said, as the demons around her carried her into the sky.
"KIKYO!!"
****************************************************************
"Maybe, I should just go home.No one wants me here anyway." Kagome sighed.
"Ow.." She said, holding her side. She turned around and looked out into the horizon and sighed.
"One day, I won't be coming back here..when the jewel is completed. Kikyo and Inuyasha will be together...and I'll be gone for good." She thought sadly. "All Inuyasha wants from me is the shards anyway..."
She looked behind her and saw Inuyasha speeding behind her.
"Inu.yasha?"
"Kagome where have you been?" He asked, trying to smile at her. Kagome didn't even bother looking at him and stared down at her bike.
"I...decided to go for a walk." She said looking towards the forest.
"You're going towards the well...You have your bag and your bike...Don't tell me you're leaving." He responded trying to get her to look at him.
Kagome sighed and didn't respond. She just kept on walking, while Inuyasha followed.
"You're not leaving." Inuyasha said firmly.
"Inuyasha....I.I need too."
"Why?!" He asked angrily.
"I'm not needed here as of now." She said walking away.
Inuyasha grabbed her and hand and forced her to stare at him. "Kagome..Please..Just stay. I need you."
"For shards." She mumbled.
Inuyasha looked at her surprised. He wasn't expecting that. "I know that Kikyo's been trying to kill you for a long time now. Miroku told me." He whispered.
"Oh did he now? Not that you care anyway..."
"What's wrong with you? Why won't you listen?" He asked still holding her.
"Nothing's wrong! Let go of me!" She yelled, grimacing when she felt a sharp pain in her side and falling to the ground. Inuyasha took hold of her with great fear.
"Kagome.."
"I can stand." She whispered.
"Are you sure?"
Kagome ignored the question and tried getting up on two feet without having much luck and falling back into his arms.
"I don't need your help." She said stubbornly. 'Go and find Kikyo.' She thought.
Inuyasha ignored her and carried her back to the cave where they left Miroku, Sango, and Shippo.
"Inuyasha let go! I don't need to go back!"
"You need rest." He said quietly.
"What about all my stuff?"
"I'll come back for it when I take you there."
Kagome glared at him angrily. "Hmph."
******************************************************************
Inuyasha sped through the forest and rushed as fast as he could. Kagome's condition wasn't getting any better, no matter how much she tried to hide it. He knew she was hurting, he could tell with the look on her face. All she needed was a good amount of rest.
'Could it really have been Kikyo? She told me she didn't....Then again, this isn't the Kikyo I can trust anymore. This one is different. This one hates Kagome.'
'Kagome.....Who could hate her? Always cheery, happy, bubbly, well, except now.Lately, she hasn't been her self really. I guess I don't blame her, getting beaten that bad...I wouldn't be in a very good mood either. But when she is in her real mood, she's great. She and Kikyo are nothing alike. Not even with the Kikyo I fell in love with. She was always so serious in her duties as a priestess. Always busy, always working. She never really had any time for me..and she...wanted me to become human..I still loved her anyway.' He thought.
'And then, there's Kagome. In a sense, she's always working and busy too. But for her...it's in a good way. She always has time for the people who need her and delays anything for her friends. She's funny and likes to lighten the mood with jokes and smiles. And she likes me for everything I am. Human, Demon or Half-demon..thing is, she doesn't feel the same for me.Looks to me, like she hates me. I won't give up though. I'll protect both of them. No matter what.'
'How could I help but yelling? I know he's trying to help me. But I can't stop thinking that all he wants from me is the shards...Who am I to say anything though? He's free to choose who he wants...Kikyo's everything I'm not. Pretty, sophisticated, good healer, good in a battle, useful, stronger, smart and never needed anyone to protect her....opposite of me. I'm just an average girl. Not so good looks, not very sophisticated, useless, ditzy, and not much of a help in battle. Always getting people who protect me.hurt.' Kagome thought.
****************************************************************
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME!!!!!" Sango yelled smacking Miroku across the face and knocking him to the ground.
"Why...Sango! I didn't do anything! I just accidentally brushed up on you!"
"ACCIDENTALLY?" She yelled running for her boomerang.
"No! Sango, it was an accident! I promise!" He yelled running around the cave with a fuming Sango not far from him at all.
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!!"
"NOOOOOOO!!!"
"Stop it!" Shippo yelled from a boulder he was sitting on. "Just admit you two like each other."
Sango blushed, bright red. "I.DO.NOT.LIKE.THAT*" She said pointing at Miroku, who in return was giving her a winning smile.
"Yea right..." Shippo sighed. "Look it's Inuyasha! What...what's wrong with Kagome?"
Inuyasha walked into the cave. "Hey, will you all just watch her? Make sure she doesn't leave."
"What happened?"
"She fainted on the way here. She just needs lots of rest."
"Should we take her to Kaede's?"
"Good idea. But first, I need to go back and get her stuff. I'll be back soon." He said running out of the cave after setting Kagome down.
***********************************************************************
Kagome moaned and looked up. Inuyasha was still getting her stuff and she was confused as to where she was.
"Where am I?"
"Hey Kagome!" Sango said happily, hugging her tightly.
"KAGOME!" The little fox said as happy as could be.
"Kagome your back!" Miroku said, rushing towards her.
"Wha..."
"You fainted." Sango said with tears in her eyes. "You need lots of rest." She said to Kagome who in return gave an exasperated sigh.
"Where's Inuyasha?" She asked looking around.
"He went to get your stuff a few minutes ago. He was really worried."
"Yeah, sure." She said sarcastically.
"He was! Why do you always doubt him?"
"I don't* doubt him. It's the fact that he loves Kikyo that I know he doesn't feel that way for me. I've been trying to ignore that fact for months now...And I can't stop it now."
"He loves you."
Kagome laughed. "He loves my incantation. The person of who I was reincarnated from. Not Kagome. I've seen it in his eyes."
"What do you know what's in his eyes?"
"He looks at me as if he's longing for something...My guess, is that it's Kikyo." She said dryly.
"He longs to get closer to you...Don't you understand? It's so obvious." Sango replied.
"It's very obvious he wants to be with Kikyo too."
"Inuyasha was tricked by Naraku. Put yourself in his shoes Kagome. What would you do?"
Kagome remained silent and didn't say a word.
"You can do what you want Kagome. But it's the truth. He does feel that way for you..he just doesn't know it yet."
Minutes later, Inuyasha came rushing in. "Is she okay?" He said before looking around and finding Kagome who had raised a brow in confusion to his anxiety.
"Kagome..Are you alright?"
"Fine." She said nicer than she had before. 'He did take me here. I owe him that much. Plus, he saved my life thousands of times.'
'What? Why is she being all nice now?' He thought.
"I'm taking you to Kaede's place. To get you checked out and get some medicine for those wounds."
"They'll heal. It's nothing serious."
"You need to rest. Hop on. I'll take you there now. Are you feeling okay to go now?"
"Yes, but I'm fine." She said, crossing her arms across her chest.
"Let's just go."
During the walk there, Sango, Shippo and Miroku were extremely quiet because of the last conversation they had with Kagome. Kagome didn't seem to care though; she was busy sleeping while she was riding Inuyasha's back.
"We're going ahead." Sango replied with Miroku and Sango jumping up on Kirara, trying to give Inuyasha a chance with Kagome.
"What?"
"We need to go." They said flying off into the sky. Inuyasha sighed when he felt Kagome move behind him. He turned around.
"Kagome? We'll be there soon."
Kagome yawned. "Oh...okay." Uncomfortable with the silence, Kagome decided to have a little conversation with Inuyasha to reconcile for her harsh behavior.
"So, uh..let's talk. How bout I ask you questions about your life and then you can ask me?"
"Sure."
"Uhm, so..what's your favorite color?"
"Uhm, red I guess." He answered.
"Oh...You can ask me anything if you want right now."
"Okay, uhm...why is that school thing so important to you?"
"Because I need good grades to get a good job in the future so I can support myself or any family I may have."
"Family...?"
"Well, yeah. Like if I ever get married or have kids or something when I get older. Are you planning on having on?" She said sadly.
"If the person I'm in love with feels the same for me, then yes." He said, referring to Kagome.
"Oh..yea same goes for me."
"You're...in love with someone?" Inuyasha asked sadly, feeling a great jealousy towards that person.
'Yea, you.' She thought. "Yea.." She said blushing.
'It better not be that wimpy wolf Kouga...or Hobo.' He thought angrily.
"What's he like?" He asked. Kagome looked at him oddly wondering why he was so curious, but shrugged and answered him.
"Well.....appearance or personality?"
"Both."
"Well appearance..He's really handsome. I love his eyes."
'And his ears.' She thought. 'But I can't say that.'
"He has a nice smile and he always protects me. He fights really well."
'Kouga protects her...please no.not him...' He thought, not knowing the whole time that the guy she was talking about was him.
"Personality.....He has a big ego. And...he's really proud of himself. He thinks there's nothing he can't do. "
'My gosh, the guy acts just like him!' He thought frantically.
"But under all that rough personality, he's really a nice guy. He just likes to hide it, because..I think he doesn't want anyone to think he's a nice person. Lots of people think he's rude...and sometimes he can be. Yelling inappropriate words to people when he's angry, tendency to curse a lot, not much of a people person. But, I know what he's really like and I've liked him for a while now."
'It's Kouga...It's Kouga...NO..it can't be.' He thought running his hands through his hair.
"How about the girl you love?" She thought, still having the name Kikyo in the back of her mind.
"Uh..Personality or Appearance?"
Kagome tried to smile. "Both."
"Well, appearance...she's beautiful. Everything about her is. She's a fast learner although sometimes I need to protect her...But that's okay though because I like doing it."
'It's Kikyo.' She thought grimly, not knowing he was referring to her.
"In personality, she's wonderful. She's cheerful, very* helpful, kind, caring....She tends to get mad at me a lot and I pretend I'm mad at her..But, I never really am."
'Cheerful? I guess there's a lot about Kikyo I don't know.' Kagome thought, and sighed.
"We're here." Inuyasha said letting Kagome off him. "You can go in I'll come in a few minutes."
Kagome looked at him oddly and went into the hut.
Inuyasha looked at her and shook her head when she got in. "Gods, I HATE KOUGA!" He said angrily. "I swear I will kill that wolf if he ever lays a hand on her! That person she was describing sounds too much like him!" He said, still exasperated.
"Inuyasha?" Shippo asked, looking out the door.
"What is it brat?"
"I think you should come in."
