Chapter Two: I don't need you

Throughout Kagome's little speech, Kikyo kept her arrogant little smirk in place. 'That took care of her, now for Inuyasha' Kikyo wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's waist from behind while resting her chin on his shoulder.

"Inuyasha" she whispers into his ear. It twitched in her direction, but his eyes still focus on the spot in the tree line Kagome had run through, "When you have made your decision, come and find me. I will be waiting for you." With that Kikyo pulled her cold arms back and walked away. Her soul stealers wrapped around her tapered waist and lazily began to weave their way through the frigid air, leisurely disappearing from sight and audible range.

Inuyasha stood there, stunned, but not from Kikyo's quick exit. 'Since when had Kagome become so ruthless? The Kagome I know smiles, and laughs, andWhat happened to the Kagome I know?' Inuyasha dropped to his knees, clutching his head.

'Why does it hurt? My heart feels like its cracking'

Right then the full force of her words hit him, '"And to think, you could change all of the love that I had for you and into such a burning hate." For love to turn into hate, that would mean that love would have to of have been in one's heart at some time. So that means Kagomeloves me? Nonow it is loved me,' he thought dejectedly.

'I betrayed you Kagome trust. I promised that I would protect her and always be there for you her, but instead insulted her' Inuyasha dropped onto his hands, fisting the earth beneath him. Gradually, his clawed right hand raises, calloused palm facing up, as if to beckon her back.

'You trusted me, as your protector, as your friendand what did I do! I threw it all back at you face! Like you meant nothing to me! I left you alone and went to see Kikyo behind her backbut still, you loved me. No matter how many times I burnt you, with stupid words, or with thoughtless actions, you still loved me!' Inuyasha's body shook with the pure force of his sobs. 'Wellif she can forgetthan so can I! I've got KikyoII' A lump formed in the back of his throat, chocking him in the evilest of ways.

Inuyasha pulled his fist back, slamming it back to earth. Punishing the dirt underneath his quaking body. It cracked and crumbled under the force of Inuyasha's strength. His back shook with suppressed sobs as he tried to swallow down the bulge that was building in his throat to keep him quite. Inuyasha threw his head back, silver locks glowing in the light, and the keen that was wretched from his throat sent chills throughout the trees. Inuyasha howled out all of his despair, hopelessness and depression into that one sound. He was drowning in tangled emotions, and could only go after one women.

"I do not need you" he whisper forsakenly in a straggled voice. His golden eyes closed tightly, but not before one salty droplet dripped from their amber restraints. Its silver innocents snaked down his unblemished cheeks, dripping down his chin to travel the seemingly endless fall to the earth.

Inuyasha watched as it dissolved into the ground, leaving no evidence behind. Slowly he forced his crumpled body upright and gloomily walked away from the clearing.
