Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha
A summer to remember
Chapter 29: When life gives you lemons...
"I'm going to throw myself over that cliff and neither of you are going to stop me!" Kagome heard InuYasha scream. Her heart broke into a million pieces. 'I hope he's not serious!' Kagome tried to reassure herself with tears streaming down her face.
Kagome couldn't hold herself back anymore and ran over to the rocks. As she stood at the bottom she could overhear the conversation between the three.
"INUYASHA! Don't do that! Kagome would be devastated!" Sango yelled out about ready to cry.
"She doesn't care!" InuYasha barked back.
"Yes she does! She loves you! You mean a lot to her!"
"That's nice to know, but I screwed things up this time and I have to fix them..."
"Jumping off the cliff isn't going to help anything." Miroku informed.
"I don't care." InuYasha said coldly.
"Well we do! Now a reasonable way to solve this problem is to talk about it."
Kagome's tear came faster as she started to climb up the rocks. When she reached the plateau, she stood up and stared at Sango, Miroku, and InuYasha. The stirring wind played with Kagome's hair and made it dance all around. The other three turned around to see Kagome standing there with tears streaming down her face.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled starting to run for InuYasha. "I love you!" Kagome put out her arms to hug InuYasha, but he just stepped to the side. Kagome tripped and fell down. Her body skidded and reached the end of the cliff.
"KAGOME!" Sango screamed running to Kagome's aid. Kagome was barely holding onto the edge.
"Help me! Please!" Kagome cried out looking down below herself. The raging waves were violently crashing into the rocky side. Kagome closed her eyes and tried to imagine herself away from where she was.
Sango grabbed Kagome's wrists and started to pull her up. Sango started to loose her grip but Miroku rushed over and held onto Sango's waist. Together they both pulled Kagome up to safety. Immediately Kagome threw her arms around Sango and hugged her.
"Thank you so much! You saved my life!" Kagome started to cry again.
"It's ok, Kag!" Sango tried to reassure Kagome.
"You're safe now!" Miroku smiled.
Kagome looked up and saw InuYasha standing a few feet away half surprised and half mad. She stood up and was soon followed by Sango and Miroku.
"Why didn't you save her?!" Sango barked at InuYasha.
InuYasha shrugged his shoulders.
Kagome looked down at her feet and walked up to InuYasha. She stood in front of him and looked at his face. His emotions were the same. Tears began to well-up again in Kagome's eyes. Out of nowhere Kagome lifted her arm and slapped InuYasha in the face. Kagome walked away leaving InuYasha stunned.
Sango and Miroku were also quite stunned at Kagome's actions, but they didn't blame her. InuYasha was being a total jerk. "Kagome! Wait up!" Sango yelled catching up to Kagome.
The only two left were Miroku and InuYasha. Miroku glared at InuYasha while he just stared at the rocks beneath him. "How dare you treat a woman with such disrespect! You should be ashamed of yourself!" Miroku scolded like a mother.
"It's none of your business..." InuYasha softly said and looked away.
"It certainly is! I was right here when the whole thing happened!"
"I knew this would happen..."
"Knew what would happen?"
"I'm so dmn afraid of my feelings...I'm afraid that I'll get mixed up in love again and hurt someone...but no matter what I do I hurt someone anyway..." InuYasha confessed with tears forming in his eyes.
Kagome found a nearby bench and sat down in it sobbing. Sango quickly arrived at her side. "Kagome! Please stop!"
"Oh Sango! Why did I ever start liking him! He's such a jerk!" Kagome threw arms around Sango to hug her.
"All guys are jerks, Kag. Just think, this will all be over before you know it because we have to leave tomorrow."
"But you have Miroku! And I have nobody!"
"You'll find someone! Maybe InuYasha isn't the person for you..." Sango started to say when she spotted InuYasha and Miroku walking their way.
Kagome noticed Sango looking away and looked over too. Kagome's heart skipped a beat when she saw InuYasha. Sango looked back over at Kagome only to see that she disappeared. She looked ahead and noticed Kagome walking away.
"Where'd Kagome go?" Miroku asked.
"She just got up and left." Sango said depressed.
"Oh...because InuYasha wanted to tell her something."
Sango looked past Miroku to see InuYasha sulking a bit with his hands in his pockets. "I wish she was here but like I said she just walked off. More than likely she went back to the condo."
"Then lets head that way." Miroku suggested, helping Sango up from the bench.
The three walked down the boardwalk and arrived at the Condo only to see Kagome sitting on the porch steps crying. She looked up at the group and ran inside.
InuYasha started to go after her, but Sango stopped him. "Let me handle this." Sango walked inside the condo and saw Kagome sitting on her bed.
"What's he doing here?" Kagome asked harshly.
"InuYasha wanted to tell you something. What it is I don't know." Sango said standing next to the bed.
Kagome sighed and slouched over. "I don't want to see him."
"I understand you're hurting from what he said but I'm sure he's willing to make up now."
"Why can't we just go home now?" Kagome asked sincerely.
"I wish we could but then we would have to explain why we came home early to your mother."
"That's true..."
"C'mon...just come out to see what he has to say."
Kagome nodded her head and followed Sango outside. Both of the girls were welcomed by Miroku and InuYasha. Kagome couldn't look at InuYasha's face; she'd been hurt too bad. InuYasha took a couple steps back but Miroku grabbed his arm and pulled him forward. "Speak now." Miroku ordered.
InuYasha stood speechless for what seemed like an hour. "I...I'm..." He started to say.
"I'm sorry! I can't do this!" Kagome cried out running away.
