The cold breeze began to blow further into the distance shaking the branches and the leaves that were still intact with the beautiful oak trees that stood tall and hid anything that was inside. The moon beautiful shone like a diamond in the sky, as it reflected of the stilled calm murky waters. The sight was beautiful to see at night in the era, everything was light by the moon light never any streets lights or smog to cover the beautiful night sky around them. Kagome loved coming at night to the era, it was so peaceful and Inuyasha could explain his feelings easily to her when night was upon them.
Inuyasha was clouded by only jealously, and resent when that glimpse of thought of another guy in her life feasting his eyes and ready to feast his lips if it wasn't for entrance and his threatening words. Inuyasha couldn't care right now to notice how beautiful the night was, to after what he witnessed with his own eyes that crushed his heart in two as much as he didn't want to admit it. He thought in his own mind, that Kagome wanted only to return in her era because she was in love with another guy beyond the well and he was sure that was the reason. He began putting the pieces together like a puzzle and realized Kagome to him was nothing but a liar and a cheater at this point. She used the well as access to jump to her secret love life, and flee back to Inuyasha when she felt like it. Inuyasha's face could express how he felt more than words, he knew the only way he stop her from doing this was to seal the well himself.
"I actually trusted that wench Kagome. Go figure, any girl I actually fall uses me for anything they can gain. Kagome she's no different from the other stuck up cheating wenches around here. God damn it she pissed me right off. To think I could actually trust her.. But no, she has to go pussyfooting around with another guy beyond the well, and come back to me!"
Inuyasha just stared at his reflection in the stilled blackish water, as the moon shone brightly reflecting off the water's surface. He remained crouched gazing into his reflection as he watched the water ripple, until he looked deeper he swore he saw Kagome's reflection and sure it was just something his mind was making up.
"Don't even make me believe she's there cause she's not!"
Inuyasha screamed fighting with himself, as his hands viciously ran through Kagome's reflection as water dripped from his hands and down towards the soil. Inuyasha was already having a hard enough time realizing that Kagome wasn't all she portrayed herself to be. Inuyasha didn't get the whole truth of the story, he only believed what he saw and none of her words were gonna justify anything to him. Inuyasha's soft yellow entrancing eyes, watching wavy water slowly turned still as he noticed the figure of Kagome was still there. He went to splash the water again as he felt a grip on his arm as he turned around and gasped when who he actually saw in his midths.
"Look who's back already.....Understand how it feels to be crossed saying that your loved Inuyasha?"
Kikyo appeared from the mists of the forest when she realize Inuyasha was in sight and the problems and the torment he had to deal with. She could only laugh at his expensive as her cold fingers lifted up his chin and into the taunting eyes of hers. She fed on other's
Hate and sadness she enjoyed to see they're hearts crushed and full of hate. Inuyasha felt her fingers gently lift up his chin, as his eyes stared away from the water into her mysterious eyes of hell.
"Kikyo, just stay the hell out of this alright?"
Inuyasha slapped away Kikyo's cold hands and stared back towards the water gazing into his reflection wishing Kagome had never hurt him and even further more lied to him. He knew what he saw with his own eyes and that was enough proof to understand what was going on beyond the well. He could understand why he wasn't allow seeing the real world in her era, despite his appearance he thought because of her cheating finding herself with other guys. Inuyasha just grunted feel like he was ready to cry but he knew Kikyo feasted on those feelings and decided to hide the tears that were ready to form.
"I never thought Kagome could be a cheater..but once a cheater always a cheater.."
Inuyasha thought, crushing a rock clearly in his fists until it looked like dust. Kikyo just laughed with desire and satisfaction that he fell in love with no other than a lying cheating girl that wasn't even worth his time. Kikyo could see the hate and the hurt forming in his eyes something that kept her heartless spirit alive and to succeed to kill and hurt anyone she truly desired. Kikyo put her fingers to her lips teasingly and hovered right over him, as her soul stealers danced in the moonlight receiving souls of the dead. The soul stealers flew into the night as she placed her fingers tauntingly as they flew around her departing with the souls that gathered to let Kikyo remain amongst the living.
"Inuyasha can you understand the pain I've endured that you forced me into? You always promised you loved me and it once I could truly look in your eyes and believe that. Ever since that hideous reincarnation stepped foot on to out era portraying as the copy of me she caused trouble and our trust and our love Inuyasha to break apart.
Now you understand what's it's like to be betrayed and pretended that your love to only think you're the only one you care and desire. Now do you understand the rift the pain I endured because of you Inuyasha?"
Kikyo's long black raven hair blew into the cool wind as her hands opened widely catching the cherry blossoms, and looking at them brought back memories of her so alive but reality her body was made out of clay, and her soul wasn't the same anymore. She wasn't exactly dead but wasn't exactly alive, she was stuck in between and she waited for Inuyasha to free her from the place where time stood still for her, always.
Inuyasha's soft eyes began to quiver as he turned to the hated Kikyo when she spoke her words of pain that he had lead her through. He began to realize he said he loved two other women instead of just one. He thought that he should of cared about Kikyo now he understood her hurt, her pain. Inuyasha felt guilt eat another hole through his heart and that ate him right up inside. He was down on his knees with his winter white hair draping his face that showed how he truly felt.
"Kikyo...I'm sorry..."
Inuyasha whispered the words of forgiveness to the dead priestess but she couldn't exactly hate Inuyasha but more so hated the reincarnation that made Inuyasha love her and desire her or even give up his own life for this women. She was living out the life Kikyo was never met to continue or pursue with Inuyasha that made her resentful and ready to strangle her knowing another women walked in her faded footsteps that were once in the earth. Kikyo slowly got down on one knee seeing Inuyasha confused and hurt as she wrapped her arms around him feeling upset that Kagome had the power to hurt such a loving, respecting guy like Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha..You have to remember she's only another women such as I following in my footsteps that walked this earth and trying to live out the life I was meant to live. Inuyasha I'm glad you realize who you can actually trust and that's me."
Kikyo soft words touched his ear, as Inuyasha understood and listened to every word that came from her mouth. Inuyasha was locked in Kikyo's embrace but it never felt so relieving to him ever before until now. His heart was shattered and he was still confused but he felt maybe Kikyo was the one he should of loved for all of his life. Tears lightly hit the ground soaking into the soil as he felt so weak and useless because of Kagome. His heart felt it had been ripped in two and thrown viciously back into his chest, to him it was an indescribably feeling that he never thought existed. Something was telling him he still had feelings for Kagome, but he didn't want to not after what had happened and what he felt. Kikyo and Inuyasha embraced tighter for comfort,sobs came from his mouth that filled Kikyo was hate and desire to kill Kagome in a instant. Kikyo placed her hands around his head for comfort understanding and sharing his pain.
Kikyo and Inuyasha had a stronger bond that it had shown. Inuyasha knew if he was actually alone in the world he wasn't because he realized what he had left behind and that was Kikyo..
Kagome had continued to venture through the woods with Kaede's wisdom of advice and it was harder on her than Inuyasha inside. She knew his eyes gazed upon what had happened but it wasn't the truth. He wouldn't even allow her explain herself the reasons why it had seemed like that but to Inuyasha he felt his trust and his heart broke and Kagome understood that. Kagome held the shards safely in the palms of her hands watching them light up the night sky around her. Her eyes were heavy from secret tears, she wished Inuyasha didn't take it the way he did and he'd let her have a chance to explain. Kagome just stared at the moon that shone brightly and the stars that burned brightly that her and Inuyasha loved gazing at with wonder and thoughts of dreams.
Kaede's village was already hidden in the distance, as she slowly took another step forward into the depth of the forest.
"I gotta tell him what's truly on my mind he needs to understand the truth, and hear what I must say to him. It would have been easier if I wrote it on a piece of paper but I can't do that. I gotta tell Inuyasha what is really on my mind and explain I love him, and always have."
Kagome thought as she found the forest surrounding her the different beautiful a ray of leaves dancing in the wind and flew into the ground to sink into the earth beneath. Kagome held the shards close to her heart, feeling tears ready to flow and thinking what would be the greatest thing to say to Inuyasha to make him understand and realize a lot that she kept hidden that needed to be said. She didn't want to leave but she felt maybe she had to if she had hurt Inuyasha so much. She still debated with herself whether it would be fair to run back to her era, or remain on both sides of the well.
"Kagome you gotta figure something out..I've hurt Inuyasha enough and I shouldn't remain here if I have and I know I did. There's no doubt in my mind that his heart is broken and it's all my fault. If I didn't even go on that lousy date maybe I wouldn't be in this mess...I wanna give the jewel shards to him but another part of me won't let me."
Kagome felt so confused, and felt the guilt slowly began to eat her thoughts and her pain of Inuyasha. As nervous and scared as she was to confront him what he saw she needed to say what she needed right or wrong. She had to give him a warning at least what her heart and thoughts decided for her and Inuyasha.
Inuyasha felt Kikyo hold him tighter than ever before in his love embrace, they shared the same pain of hurt and betrayal, and Kikyo never seen Inuyasha so lost and so unhappy in his life, ever. His feelings were also shrouded with hate and anger against Kagome yet he knew he loved her even if she was with that other guy even what he truly witnessed. Inuyasha began to sob harder than ever expected, Kikyo was just angered and never felt worse about Inuyasha before. He was dying of pain and she could see it in his moon colored eyes that said everything about him.
"Kikyo..I'm sorry I did this to you...I didn't realize how much it hurt you until I felt the same pain..."
Kikyo felt his words hit her like a thousand bullets with feelings of forgiveness, as she rested her head upon his shoulders with her fingers lightly spreaded through Inuyasha's winter white hair that she could see from a distance. Kikyo was out of words to tell Inuyasha, to the point she could only say so much to try and comfort him. Her soul stealers quietly danced around the embrace with souls they continued to retrieve and that departed and consumed by Kikyo's hateful soul. Kikyo calmly hugged him and looked back at his sadness that laid in his face.
"Inuyasha who have you truly chosen and cared about? You only know there's enough room for one in your live and you know the true answer."
Kikyo questioned, if he could still have possibly had feelings for Kagome even after how far he fell down and so much he was dragged through with her. Inuyasha's eyes began to close thinking about it, and softly and sadly whispered the words of who it was..
"Kikyo.. I love..K-"
His words were slightly cut off, when he felt himself sense Kagome's scent and her eyes watching exactly everything. She hidden herself behind a large oak tree and stared at the jewel shards and when she saw Kikyo and Inuyasha embracing she was completely sure they were in love with each other and her speech for Inuyasha was gone. Inuyasha's ears perked up and his eyes shot back at hers and felt her heart instantly skip a beat. He heard her whimpering and he understand the real reason why, but he thought she was in love with the other boy beyond the well. She head hid in her knees until she glanced and knew she was caught watching and decided she had to show herself. She began to slowly creep from the shadows of the forest, standing there in her school uniform as they're eyes awarded stared at each other. She was sure that the name he was about to fill in was Kikyo, but he knew it is mind it wasn't her it was only Kagome....
"Kagome....."
Inuyasha whispered with sadness and stopped sobbing when he caught her face unsure if she was going to flee towards the well or stand there staring into nothing. Kagome couldn't speak what she felt or said but only words ame out that made her blister in tears,
"Inuyasha....I..."
Her heart continued to race, as Kikyo stood there her eyes feasting on the moment of each of them betrayed that Inuyasha had witnessed and Kagome had with Kikyo. It felt like a thousand needles hit her stomach the same pain he had dealt with when his eyes witnessed almost the exact same thing. Her speech, her loving words escaped from her head that left them in awkward silence as only noises from the soul stealers escaped into the air. Kagome shook her head with tears, she had froze up and with Kikyo watching she couldn't do it. Kagome just screamed out loud when she looked into his eyes.
"I...I..can't!!
Kagome decided to drop all the shards except one to let her have the only chance to transfer down the well. , as they flew into the ground as they gave off a beautiful pink aura. Her watched her hands throw it until it shattered individual shards and decided that she was better off alone. Inuyasha hands reached out screaming Kagome's name and abandoning Kikyo in the forest, as he began to jump high over the forest looking for her.
"Kagome!!"
He screamed, she began to pick up her feet faster when she heard him calling her. She felt the sweating pouring from her skin as she felt tears seeping from her eyes. She didn't want to hear his excuses or his lies. In Kagome's mind she thought the exact same thing that Inuyasha was cheating on her, when only he was getting comforted by Kikyo. He was trying to explain that it was her name the girl he had chosen and not Kikyo. But she ran to soon to realize what was the truth instead of what she witnessed.
She felt his shadow over cast hers, and she knew he could out run her if he gotten the chance. She felt like a stalker was running after her and she had to move quicker than that, she didn't wanna hear Inuyasha or be seen by him. She wanted to get out of the situation she only knew how, the bone eater's well.
Kagome felt shortness of breathing, exhaling and inhaling pretty quick as her chest rose and rose back down and her feet picked up more and more when Inuyasha's voice was in reach of hers.
"I gotta get out of here now!"
She cried out as Inuyasha's shadow was sure enough over casting her own. His yellow eyes spotted her a couple of feet away from the well and he wasn't going to let her go back home knowing she didn't have the shards and she'd refuse to return. Inuyasha couldn't let her go, he loved her so much despite what his own eyes told him. The village was off to the distance, as he kept his eyes on her watching her huffing and picking up speed when they looked at each other.
"Kagome don't!!"
Inuyasha could only cry out. He already lost her once and he refused to let it happen again. He didn't need her running back to her era, because he knew within she would decide to stay in her era forever and never appeared in his again. That was his true fear, but he knew his fear was already becoming a nightmare coming true. She had finally ran back so many times she decided to Inuyasha she'd remain beyond the well when he noticed her shards were dropped on the ground. She loved Inuyasha there was no doubt in her mind, but the trust she had for him now remained broken just like her heart.
Kagome didn't listen to him calling her name, she only had one motivation to transfer to the well and that was safety and Inuyasha chasing after her. Tears began to seep from her eyes as she prayed Inuyasha wouldn't get to her before she had gotten to the well. Inuyasha finally jumped down as Kagome realized his shadow was growing bigger and she refused to listen to him she only had one instinct was to run and keep running.
Her hands just touched the rim of the well, as Inuyasha gotten closer to her as she knew she would likely not make it through the well. She placed her one hand on the rim flying into the air hoping she'd fall down before he could reach her.
"Please let me through, Please let me through.."
She cried as she tighten her eyes hoping she'd be in her era and never be hurt again.. But would she fall into Inuyasha's arms or would she fall?
