Chapter 3: Unexpected.. Pain ..

" uhh.. uhhh .. umm.. I " he was the one stuttering now.

~~~~

Kagome sat there, her face beet red, stiff as a board. ' Oh my Gods. I actually did it. I actually told him! and he understood it!!' she screamed in her head.

Inuyasha sat there, his eyes plastered firmly on her face as if they held some sort of remorse.

' Kagome.. you Love me?'

" Kagome... " he said in the softest most pain-filled voice he had.. " Oh my Kagome.." he managed to whisper..

A small tear was threatening to fall at how sweet and loving he sounded but yet.. she could hint a bit of fear and regret.

" Yes Inuyasha.. "

She replied in a voice equally as smooth and loving but bursting with worry.

" I - I .. I can' t Love you.. Kagome.. " a tear had escaped from his golden eyes.

A painful moment of silenced hung in the sky.

Inuyasha broke the silence..

" My heart belongs to Kikyou.. and as long as she walks on this earth.. I will always love her, just like I promised .. " he trailed off ... his heart breaking at the regretful thought... ' Oh how I wish it was the way it was.. '

~~ Flashback ~~

- 50 Years Ago -

Kikyou sat peacefully under Inuyasha's tree,her head leaning agianst it in calm serenity. The wind playing with her hair and the sunlight leaving her face glowing.

Then her voice flowed out of her soft lips in a small comment.. " Inuyasha please come out.. I know your there. "

Inuyasha plopped out .. a slight crimson noticeable on his cheeks. He came to sit beside her, hesitantly, his eyes wandering at her beauty.

A silence broke out as Kikyou brethed in a breath of fresh air..

" Inuyasha.. will you promise to love me as long as I walk on this earth?" she questioned, calm and serene as if this was an everyday question.

Inuyasha's face turned a bright crimsom at the shock of the question. His eyes filled with pure love for this woman..

" I promise from the bottom of my heart. Kikyou " he replied.. his voice promising and true.. " I'll love you forever.."

~~ End Flashback ~~

A tear managed to reach Kagome's flushed cheeks. Her eyes held nothing but pain...
