Chapter 13
Kagome's head turned to face Inuyasha immediately. She wasn't sure what to do! Here she was crying over the fact he wasn't in his tree and now he was right in front of her and she was completely unsure of what to do... Should she tell him how she felt right of the bat or should she say she was sorry or maybe she would be sucked into a huge hole in the ground ... she liked the last on best.
"What is she doing!! She comes to MY TREE looking for me then starts to cry when I am not here and now she is just staring at me for no apparent reason. What is her problem does she want to see me or not!" Inuyasha didn't know what to do either so they just sat there for a moment staring at each other. The silence driving them both insane but neither wanted to be the one to brake it. Slowly Kagome got to her feet and started to walk over to Inuyasha.
Her voice was soft as she spook to him. 'Inuyasha ... I came to say that what I did ... it was stupid and I didn't mean any of it. I am sorry. Can you ever forgive me?' With that said she ran to Inuyasha and embraced him. "What the hell did she just apologize... what am I supposed to do." He was confused but he held her close to him. He didn't know why but it was slowly getting extremely difficult to be mad at her. "She said she didn't mean any of it but how do I know that she is telling me the truth... What am I saying this is Kagome I openly told he I loved her and I meant it." Inuyasha had just made up his mind and all thoughts of his anger vanished.
'Kagome ... I will ... you are ... forgiven.' After Inuyasha said that Kagome's heart felt so much lighter. He had forgiven her and at the moment that was all that mattered in the world.
'Inuyasha I ... love you.' As she said it she looked up into Inuyasha's face. She found no anger no regret, nothing but happiness and content in his eyes.
Inuyasha couldn't explain his feelings at that moment in time but for on of the few times in his life he felt content and happy. She had told him how she felt so there would be no more doubting it now. He just had to make it clear to her that the feeling was mutual.
'Kagome I love you to.' He said as he slowly lowered his head and kissed her gently. He didn't expect it to be returned but it was.
Kagome's thoughts were completely scattered across the universe at that moment in time she had come to beg for forgiveness and found something she had been looking for without even knowing it.
~*~ Kikyo ~*~
"WHAT THIS CAN'T BE!!!" Her mind was screaming at her. "MY PLANS... EVERYTHING I WORKED TO ACHIEVE AND THEN SHE COMES AND TAKES IT ALL AWAY FROM ME LIKE THAT!" Kikyo was completely furious. It was quite clear that the happiness Inuyasha was feeling wasn't shared but everyone. "This wont do at all." Kikyo had now regained her wits and was ready to fix what was causing her so much pain. "I should have done this in the first place!!!" She reached for her arrows.
~ By the god tree ~
Inuyasha heard it before it could do what it had intended. Kagome was quickly shoved out of the way of the arrow but he wasn't fast enough to get himself out. The arrow ripped through him and he felt his whole body start to slip away.
From her position on the ground Kagome was about to yell at Inuyasha for pushing her till she heard him scream. She looked up just in time to see the arrow rip through his body and pinned him to the god tree.
'INUYASHA NNNNNOOOOOO.' Kagome screamed. She jumped up to run to him but there was a figure in her path. She only heard him whisper 'Kagome ... stay safe... for me.' before his body fell unconscious against the tree.
'KIKYO WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS!!!' Kagome screamed. If only she had her arrow.
'You think I was aiming for him the stupid fool he took the blow for you!!!' As the sudden realization hit Kagome of what had just happened Kikyo was also just discovering how she could use this to rid herself of Kagome.
Kagome just stood there almost in tears for she new she couldn't do anything... Kikyo had complete control over the situation.
'Kagome I will give you a chose. You many leave this world and I will unpin Inuyasha as soon as I have sealed the well behind you or you may stay here and let Inuyasha stay pinned to this tree. For you can't undo it this time. I have made sure of that. If you do stay here thought I will let you know that I will never let him free from my spell till you are gone or died, because don't forget with this body I will live forever. You on the other hand will die after a few years and I am willing to wait ... I have nothing but time.' Kikyo then walked off into the woods and left Kagome by herself. 'It is your chose Kagome!'
~ Kaede's hut ~
'Sango, Kagome has been gone for almost 2 hours now. Should we go after her?'
'Yes that would probably be best for we don't know what she might have found out there! Shippo you and Kilala stay here just incase she comes back while we are gone.'
'O but I want to come find Kagome! Why doesn't Miroku stay?' He was too late thought for they had already left the hut and were out of reach of his voice by the time he had finished.
'Where do you think she might have gone?' Sango asked Miroku.
'I am not sure exactly but I think that she ran of in the direction of the well. So we might as well start looking in that direction.'
As they walked Sango realized that they hadn't been alone enough while Miroku was awake to talk to him about what had happened while they had been in the cave. His ribs were healing and he looked so much better then before that if he wasn't walking slower and a bit differently then usual she wouldn't have guessed that anything had ever happened to him.
'Miroku...' She didn't know how to say what she was thinking thought.
'Yes Sango?'
'Did you ... um mean what...' She cut her self off.
'Did I mean what? If you are talking about what I said in the cave...' He stopped walking and turned her to face him. 'I meant every word of it and I you don't feel the same I understand.'
'No that wasn't it I was just wanting to tell you that ... I feel the same. I only wanted to know if what you said was the truth.' They had started walking again only at a slower pace this time.
'Sango... it was the truth and there is nothing that you or anyone could say to make me feel differently about it. I love you and that is all there is to it.' Sango would have said something in reply but they were both stopped died in their tracks as they saw Kagome leaning against the god tree in a fit of tears. They both assumed that she hadn't found Inuyasha so they thought it was no big deal and walked over to her. Not until they were half way there did they realize how mistaken they were.
A.N: Well what do you think????? Was it too mushy? Was it in character??? Please review!!!!!
