Chapter 13: The Pain of Loss

"Miroku, what happened?" Inuyasha asked.
"Kikyou-sama returned from where you were and immediately spoke with Kaede-sama. From there, she vanished into the forest and her presence has disappeared." Miroku explained.
"I can't believe she's really gone." Kagome said.
"So, Inuyasha, what
do you plan on doing now?" Miroku asked.
Inuyasha walked off
away from the others. "I just want to be alone for awhile. I need
some time to think." He managed to get out.
"What do you think I should do, Miroku-sama?" Kagome asked.
"Inuyasha needs some time to think. But don't let him be alone for too long. Just wait a little while then go after him." Miroku explained.
"Kagome! WELCOME BACK!" Shippou called out as he ran towards Kagome.
"Welcome back, Kagome-chan." Sango said, walking behind Shippou. Sango was already dressed for battle but Kirara remained on her shoulder.
"Ah, are we planning on leaving soon?" Kagome asked.
"We were planning on leaving as soon as you got back but..." Sango answered.
"Miroku-sama, do you think it's been enough time?" Kagome asked.
"I really can't tell you if it is or it isn't." Miroku responded.
Kagome ran through the woods to find Inuyasha. There was only one place he could be. Kagome raced towards the Sacred Tree and found Inuyasha there, staring at it. He turned around. "Kagome..." Inuyasha whispered.
Kagome ran toward Inuyasha. "INUYASHA!" Kagome called out.
Kagome ran and found Inuyasha with a depressed look on his face. "Have you been crying?" Kagome asked.
"Crying? ME? NO WAY!"
Inuyasha refuted with his temper.
Kagome knew that the more
Inuyasha tried to deny it with his temper, the more hurt he really
was. But it shocked her that Inuyasha was so defensive about how hurt
he was with losing Kikyou.
"So... what now?" Kagome asked.
