Chapter 2: I Still Miss You

* * *
Kagome sat on her bed, staring out the window as tears ran down her face, hoping against hope that a silver-haired form in a red kimono would jump up onto her windowsill. I love him, she thought, she had realized this long ago, I wish he would love me back, but that is impossible. she didn't like to think the rest, but the hated thought came, he loves Kikyo. It had been a week, and every day was worse than the last. It hurt even to imagine those amber-eyes, and she longed to touch those little doggy ears. Get over it, Kagome; you're never going to see him again. But somehow, that made it all the worse.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

She was still deep in thoughts about Inuyasha when her mother called up the stairs to her.

"Kagome, a young man is here to see you! He says his name is Houjo!" Her mother finished, and Kagome immediately thought, oh no, not Houjo, I couldn't talk to him right now, even if it isn't his fault that Inuyasha is such a .jerk.

"Ok mom, I'll be down in a minute!" She called, and turned to wipe the tears off of her face.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

About twenty minutes later, Kagome was down in her kitchen, talking quietly with her mom.

"Hey mom? Do I look all right to you?" She asked meaningfully.

Her mother immediately knew what Kagome meant. She quickly replied that her face looked fine, and would she please go see what Houjo wanted. Kagome walked into the living room, trying not to wish that it were Inuyasha in there instead of Houjo.

"Hey, Kagome, it looks like your chicken pox is healing!" Was Houjo's enthusiastic greeting. Oh, Grampa, now it's chicken pox? Oh well, at least that's a normal disease. "Uh, Kagome, are you all right?"

"Huh" Oh, right, Houjo's still here, gotta act normal. "Uh, yeah, I feel great" she lied over her heartbreak.

"Well, in that case, do you want to uh. go to the movies with me?"

"Well um. I don't" Wait, Kagome, what are you doing? She asked herself. Your never going to see Inuyasha again, so you might as well just get on with your life. "I mean, sure Houjo, I'd love to go to the movies with you."

"Great, I'll pick you up at eight," He was nearly leaping for joy as he skipped out the door.

* * *

"Inuyasha!" A high-pitched voice called. "Inuyasha, go get Kagome, I miss her!"

Inuyasha punched the huge pink bubble and it deflated into.Shippo! (A/N: If anybody couldn't guess that, you must now smack yourself in the head three times, spin around, and click on the nearest Inuyasha info website!)

Inuyasha was sitting in the Go-Shinboku tree when the gang had decided that they needed to get him out of his depression. He hadn't eaten since Kagome left, and had lost who-knew-how-much weight. Kaede had judged this as a sign that he needed to be brought out of his mood.fast.

"Inuyasha? You need to come down and eat!" Called Sango, waving some ramen and spreading its delicious aroma. Damn, where in the seven hells did she get that? Inuyasha wondered, resisting the urge to jump down. He couldn't resist for very long, so he rushed off into the forest, until he couldn't smell the ramen anymore.

Ah, dammit, why in the seven hells won't just leave me the fuck alone! Inuyasha growled, then sniffed the air. Ki.Kikyo?!

"Kikyo, you can come out now!" The living-dead priestess stepped out from behind one of the trees.

"Inuyasha!" She called, running up to him and held him close. (A/N: Please don't kill me for this! *begging on her knees*) "Inuyasha, now we can go to hell together, come to hell with me." And with that, she pressed her lips to his, and he offered no resistance

Suddenly he pulled back. "Kikyo."

* * *
Kagome nervously watch the clock; tick, tick, tick, are you doing, tick, tick, tick the right thing? Of course I'm doing the right thing! She thought angrily, I need to get on with my life! There was a knock at the door shocking her out of her thoughts. She got up to open the door and found.Houjo. A wave of disappointment washed over her heart. What was I expecting? She asked herself, but she knew the answer to that one. Inuyasha.I still miss him so much. Tears started to form at the corners of her eyes and she angrily blinked them away. I won't cry because of him again!

"Hi, Kagome!" Houjo greeted her enthusiastically, oblivious to her thoughts (A/N: He's quite stupid, isn't he? *dodging flying objects thrown by Houjo's fans* OW! Alright, back to the story!)
"Hello, Houjo." Kagome inwardly sighed, "So, what movie are we going to see?

"Oh, I thought I'd keep that a surprise." He replied happily.

"Well, let's get going then, I can't wait to see what the movie is" Kagome said, trying to sound just as enthusiastic, but really wishing that it was Inuyasha before her.

* * *
"Kikyo."

Kikyo looked up at his face, knowing that she had won, and her prize was Inuyasha. Ha, that little bitch of a reincarnation thought she had a chance with Inuyahsa.

"Kikyo," He continued, "I've been thinking a lot these last few days."

He had no need to tell her what it had been thinking about for she knew that this was the only thing that had been on his mind since "that bitch of a reincarnation" had left.

~*Flashback*~

How could I love them both? Inuyasha asked himself, I can't love them both, it's not possible! But he knew that if he searched his heart, he would find the one he loved most, and it wouldn't be the one he felt that he should be loyal to.

But, I can't love her, I just can't! I shouldn't love her, and yet. And he remembered every one of this girls brave acts, and how well she protected the Shikon no Tama, and saw exactly why he loves her.

And he had finally come to realize which girl he loved more. And he thought to himself, though she couldn't hear him: I love you.
