I don't own Inu Yasha.
A Painful Apology
"Hey Kagome, he's really cute! Are all the boys in your era this nice-looking?"
Sango stopped her whispering when Hojo gave her one of his smiles. Slightly blushing she smiled back and sat up straighter in her chair. Miroku glanced over at Sango and a sting of jealousy hit him in the heart, but he had to admit, Hojo was a great guy.
While Hojo taught Miroku how to charm a woman and Sango prepared dinner. Kagome sat outside and watched the stars by herself.
Oh, Inu Yasha... I miss you already. You took what I said really badly. Of course, how could I ever forgive myself? All I do is fight with you, but the truth is that I love you.'
A sigh escaped her lips and Sango called from inside that supper was ready.
"Kagome, have you seen Inu Yasha? He left this morning, but he is usually back in time for food. I am a little worried about him."
"I'm sorry, Miroku, but he got really mad about Hojo being here and he went away. We can probably find him later."
Dinner was more lively than usual and Miroku and Sango told about life in the feudal era. Hojo, in turn, told them a little about the future and compared what they lived to what he was taught. Kagome sat quietly and no one seemed to notice her much, but she preferred not to talk and just thought intently on how she could apologize to Inu Yasha.
"Goodnight, Hojo."
"Goodnight, Hojo."
"Goodnight Sango and Miroku. I will see you in the morning... Kagome? You haven't been yourself tonight. Do you want to talk?"
He sat next to the grieving young girl and put his arm around her. She was too upset to be embarrassed or angry. The instant he did so, she began to weep pathetically.
"Oh, Hojo! I just feel awful about all of this. Inu Yasha is really mad at me and now he said he won't protect me. What am I going to do?"
"Well, I can protect you and so can Sango and Miroku. Inu Yasha is just jealous. He doesn't want to admit that he likes you even though you're my girl. He will meet someone new. So don't worry about him." Kagome's passiveness subsided and she got up silently and crawled underneath her futon.
Maybe tomorrow I can find him. I hope he will forgive me.'

Inu Yasha leaned against the tree that he had been dormant on for fifty years.
How could I be so blind? Of course she as a boyfriend. He lives in her era. How could I ever compete with that? He is so good and kind. He probably gives her flowers and treats her like a princess. She deserves it.'
He looked down at his hands that were cut and rough. His claws were jagged and there were giant calluses where his sword hilt had been supported.
I am just some mangy mutt. Her soft hands should never feel my hard ones. I just put her in danger. She doesn't need me. All I do get her into trouble. I guess Hojo gets to see her beauty when she sleeps from now on...'
A chill breeze swept through the air and he heard a soft whisper call out to him:
"Inu Yasha, I need you. I'm sorry."
"Hmph! That's so stupid. Now I am hearing voices."
He climbed into the great tree and fell into a deep, but troubled sleep.

Kagome crept outside just before dawn and walked into Inu Yasha's forest. As she approached his tree, she felt his presence approaching. She sat down underneath the tall branches and looked up at the green leaves.
"Inu Yasha, SIT!!!"
Sure enough the hanyou fell from his hiding spot and crashed right in front of her feet. He looked up and eyes were bloodshot from the quick awakening.
"Inu Yasha!"
On top of falling on his head he was tackled by the young miko and he looked down at her to see her sobbing into his chest.
"I am SO sorry! Please forgive me! Inu Yasha, Hojo isn't my boyfriend. He's like a... Koga."
She smiled at him so earnestly, with tears running down her cheeks, that he couldn't help but hug her.
"Oh, Kagome, I am so sorry too. I missed you. Please don't leave me ag-"
"Um, you're the one who left me! But let's not argue and just get back to the others. They are probably starting to wake up."
She hopped on his back and he gave her a ride back to the small little hut. When they got there, Hojo gave Kagome a hug, but Inu Yasha knew to hold in his temper. He had to go easy on the human boy.
Wow! I started getting a little mushy there. More chapters on the way! (I think... well yeah! Hell, it's summer! I got lots of time on my hands!) R&R onegaishimasu!
