*_~When I Need You Most ~_*
Kagome pedaled furiously. "Bastard!" she mutered under her breathe. Tears were brimming her eyes. But no. She promised to be strong, and she was going to keep that promise.
'Unlike you Inu Yasha, I don't break promises. You promised to protect me. You lied. You said you wouldn't let anything hurt me. You lied. You couldn't protect me from your self.'
She was going home for good. She knew she was. This time, she was going to seal the well. Seal it, so that even she couldn't break it. She stopped, but then, she would never be happy. Kagome got off her bike, and stood atop the hill that she now rested upon. She looked out towards the plains, and the forest beyond it. Just past the forest, was the path back to the village.
She sank to the floor. "Who do you love Inu Yasha? Me or Kikyou? Or did you even love me at all? Did you just look at me as a replacement for Kikyou? I gave you my heart, and you took it. But never returned it." Her eyes stung. She rolled them to the back of her head. Then, she looked to the sky. If it wasn't for the Shikon No Tama, she wouldn't be in this mess. "I wouldn't have felt the pain that I now feel. But then again, I would've never have been so happy."
***Inu Yasha***
"INU YASHA!" yelled Shippou. "Go get her! Hurry before she goes home forever! Hurry you idiot!"
"Shut up Shippou, she took the shards with her. She can't leave with out them. She knows were her duty lies."
Sango broke into a sob, and eyes turned her way. She slowly bent to the forest ground, and picked up a small jar that held the Shikon shards. Miroku opened his mouth, but it was to dry for him to utter a word. Shippou stood perplexed. This time, she left for good. His mother had abandoned him. Because of Inu Yasha. He broke out in tears, but this time the were silent. Silent, but they made a scar in his heart, that might never be mended.
Inu Yasha gawked. There was no way that she could have left. He still needed her……to collect the shards. His mouth hung open. He had to stop her, before it was to late. Before he lost his soul mate.
'No!' his mind screamed. 'She's not my soul mate! Kikyou is. Isn't she?'
Without another thought, he dashed through the trees, and followed her sent. The wind blew hard at his face. His eyes began to brim with tears. He couldn't loose her. Not when she cared. Not when he cared. Every one he ever loved had left him. They all gave up on him, and left him.
He came to a stop, when he saw her sitting on a hill. "Kagome." He called softly.
She didn't turn around. Instead, she grabbed her bike, just as she was about to walk away, she felt a hand on hers. A familiar scent filled her nose, and a touch that she ached for was once again real.
"Where are you going?" he questioned stupidly.
"Home." Her answer was to the point, and spoken emptily.
"Kagome, who did this to you?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Some one changed you, and it sure as Hell wasn't any of us."
'So you care enough to notice my change when it threatens your chances of getting the jewel, but are clueless to everything else?' "No one Inu Yasha. I did it on my own."
"You're lying. I know you are."
"If you can read my mind, tell me how I feel."
"About what?"
"You."
One simple word. One simple question. 'All you have to do, is tell her that she thinks of you as a friend, but does she really think of me as even that? She said it, but was it pity?' One word, and so much thought.
"You can't answer my question, and yet we've been traveling together for 2 years. I can easily tell you what you think of me as."
Inu Yasha turned her to face him. Her bike fell to the ground, and lay there. Forgotten.
"Then tell me." He said staring into her eyes. The were so emotionless. He had seem them like this before. When he had kissed Kikyou.
"You think that I am your friend out of pity. You think of me as Kikyou's replacement. You think that after you collect the shards, that I'll still go back and forth between the eras, even though I've no reason to stay. Even though you hurt me." Once again, her eyes were becoming watery.
"What do you mean, 'no reason to stay'? What about Shippou? And Miroku, and Sango? What about me?"
"Shippou is young. He will forget. Miroku, and Sango will move on. And you? Why you have everything you need. Aside from one thing. My soul."
He stared at her. This was what she really thought. He couldn't smell her dicite. She really thought he hated her. 'But I don't love Kikyou more than you.' He thought but dared not say. His eyes narrowed in anger.
"Don't talk like you've known me for all of my life."
"I'm not Inu Yasha. You asked my opinion, and I gave it."
"Why are you leaving truly?"
"Why?" Kagome's anger flared. But she dared not let the tears fall. Not over him. "Because I'm tired of being hurt. I'm tired of being her comparison. I'M TIRED OF BEING HER REPLACEMENT!!!! I'm tired of you running to her, and back to me when you're hurt." She finished weakly.
He stared in shock. Her words implied that she loved him. Was it possible? But hurt her? He never did. She had to be lying. "I've never hurt you."
"Oh really? Look back." She turned, and began to walk away.
"Don't run from your problems Kagome."
"I'm not. I'm putting things to the way they were before. The way they should be."
"Kikyou wouldn't run."
She closed her eyes tightly. Again with the comparison. Taking in a breathe, she mounted her bike, and rode away. Ignoring his threats of what her would do if she didn't stop. She stared ahead of her. Trying to forget what she was leaving behind. Her friends, her love, her life worth living. The thrill of running through the forests, and chasing demons.
She passed the village, and slowly stopped at the well. This was it. If she left, she'd never return. This was her last chance to turn back. To run back into Inu Yasha's arms. To go back to always being Kikyou's reincarnation.
'No. I won't. Not this time.'
Her head snapped up as she felt shards coming her way. Lot's of them. That could only mean one thing.
"Naraku."
"Ah. My sweet Kagome. Alone I see? Where is that filthy half breed."
"None of your business."
"Left you for the corpse I see?"
"Shut up." She picked up the bow and arrows. Steadily fitting an arrow into the bow.
"Personally, I prefer the living." He stepped closer to her.
"Go away. Don't come closer." Despite her attempt to sound cold, and heartless, her fear shone through.
He stepped closer, and moved aside her bow, before lowering his lips to her ear. "Come with me, and together, we will be the strongest in the world."
Kagome slapped him. "Never! Inu Yasha may burn my heart as many times he wants, but I'll never turn on him."
"We'll have to do this the hard way I'm afraid."
Naraku disappeared, and reappeared behind her. Before she had time to react, there was a searing pain in her neck. She screamed out in pain, before dropping to the ground. Where was Inu Yasha when she needed him most? He smirked, and lifted her up.
***Inu Yasha***
He loved Kagome. "I love Kagome. I LOVE KAGOME!!!!" He shouted to the heavens. "But she's going home. I have to get to her."
He once again took off. Following her intoxicating scent. It was leading to the well. If he didn't hurry, he'd loose her forever. And he couldn't let that happen again. He stopped in his tracks. Something was wrong. There was a feeling in his gut. He sniffed the air.
'Naraku!' His mind screamed. Then, there was a scream. Kagome's scream.
"KAGOME!!!!!" he cried. Naraku had her. That was the only explanasion.
His legs were starting to burn, but he had to get to Kagome. He arrived at the clearing, but her scent was gone. Naraku's took her place instead. It lead to about I metre within the well, then disappeared.
"Kagome."
