FWEE!

Inuyasha was standing in front of the Sacred Tree, looking up into it's wide branches, obviously in deep thought. His mind was racing from his feelings towards Kagome, to his betrayal. He spoke to himself in a loud whisper, "How could I do that to Kagome. But how could she go off with the monk?"

He sighed and held the jewel shards in front of his face and watched them, his ears flat. "But I can get the rest of the shards now. I can become a full blooded demon and control it ... hopefully." His ears went flat, hearing very light foot steps and he turned. Kagome was standing right there, staring at him with an extremely hurt expression across her face.

"Inu...yasha? Would you really use the shards to become a demon?" Kagome said very hesitantly. Her sadness was replaced by the same anger as before, but worse. Inuyasha cringed, clenching his fangs together, looking to the side.

She'd heard the whole thing. 'How dumb am I to let her head all that?!' He sighed a bit, looking back to Kagome, his face looked both of guilt and betrayal.

Kagome's eyes were filling with tears again and she shook lightly, "Inuyasha, please answer me. Would you-would you really use the shards like that?" The tears slowly fell down her cheeks.

Inuyasha didn't answer her, he just gazed at her. Kagome sobbed lightly, "You're not answering me. Does that mean you would use the shards like that?" Still no answer. He shrugged a bit, looking to the ground and Kagome grew angry.

She still had her bow and arrow in her hands, and she raised the bow to him. He glared at the bow and arrows, then back to Kagome. "You wouldn't dare shoot me with your arrow, would you?" He growled and through Kagome's tears, she smirked.

"You have no idea, Inuyasha." She pulled back on the bow string, aiming for his heart. His eyes widened and he took a step back, but couldn't go anywhere.

The Sacred Tree was right behind him, and he looked back down to the jewel shards. The memory of Kikyo from fifty years ago rushed to him. He gasped and looked up at Kagome, "No! You wouldn't!" Fear streaked across his face.

"Inuyasha, you've caused me more pain than you know, and you don't even deserve to be stuck to that tree again." Kagome glared at him, tears still streamed from her eyes. "And now, because of you, I'm forced to bear your child!"

He froze as the arrow sped through the air, "Kagome, I'm sor-" He was cut off as the arrow pierced through him, once again. The jewel shards fell from his weakened grip and he tried to reach for them, but couldn't reach them. The arrow repined him to the tree and he passed out into an eternal sleeping spell.

Kagome's breath was heavy as she stared at what she had done. She had really struck Inuyasha with an arrow. Tears still dripped from her eyes and she collapsed to her knees and cried, loudly. Sango and Miroku ran up to Kagome, and crouched down by her. "Kagome! Kagome wha-" Sango stopped herself then looked at the Sacred Tree at Inuyasha.

Miroku and Sango stared at Inuyasha for a few moments in shock. "Kagome?" Sango's comforting voice tried to calm Kagome. "Kagome, did you do that to Inuyasha?" Kagome nodded, trying to calm down. Miroku put his arms around her to help calm her down a bit. Tears still streamed down her face, staining his purple and black kimono.

"Kagome, we know what happened between you and Inuyasha." Miroku said in a slightly grim tone.

Sango sighed, and helped Kagome stand, as they slowly edged back towards the hut, "But we couldn't imagine that you would pin him back to the tree." Kagome shook her head, trying to rid the tears away. They helped Kagome to the hut and were silent for a long while except for the occasional sob from Kagome.

After a while, Kagome's sobs finally stopped and her tears dried. Miroku wrapped his arm around her and she laid her head on his shoulder and just stared out into nothing. She felt blank, like she had done something extremely wrong that she didn't want to take back. 'He deserved it.' Is all she could think of.

Kirara entered the hut, holding the Sacred Jewel Shards in her mouth and Sango picked them from Kirara, quietly, and patted her head. "Ouch!" Sango swatted something from her hand, and Myoga fell to the ground. "Myoga, what are you doing here?" Miroku and Kagome looked up at Myoga, but Kagome still had a blank look on her face.

"I've come to bring news to Lord Inuyasha, but it seems he isn't here. Where did he run off to?" Myoga asked, obviously not knowing what happened between Inuyasha and Kagome. Miroku and Sango looked down as Myoga hopped to Kagome. "Lady Kagome, do you know where Inuyasha is?"

She just gazed blankly at him. Kagome's blank gaze slowly turned to a small smirk, but her voice was still blank and empty, "Inuyasha's gone."

Myoga gave her an odd look. Miroku and Sango looked up at Kagome, also with odd looks. 'Does Kagome realize what she's saying?' Sango thought to herself.

"Lady Kagome, what do you mean by 'He's gone?'"

"I shot him with my sacred arrow." She shook her head, still smirking, but her eyes showed all the pain of what happened.

Myoga's already large eyes looked like they were bulging out of their sockets. "You shot the Lord with an arrow! Kagome you foolish wench!" And with that, Kagome swatted Myoga away and looked down, feeling tears, not of sadness, but of rage, build up. The angered, but slightly flattened, Myoga grumbled and hopped out the hut.

"Kagome?" Sango's worried voice broke through the tension. "Are you all right?"

Kagome snapped back, her fists clenched, "No, I'm not! I've been betrayed and then he.. " Her fists clenched tighter. Sango looked to the side and Miroku looked down. They knew what happened.

Standing up after a long silence, Kagome began to walk out of the hut. With a silent sob she said, "I'm going home. I need to sort things out at home away from all of this for a while." And she left before anyone could say anything.

In the forest, Kagome went in search for the well. She had slipped the jewel shards from Sango quickly as she left the hut so she could go through the well. While she headed to the well, she stopped to take a last look at Inuyasha and spoke to his cursed body, "If you truly loved me, you wouldn't betray me."

She stared at him for a moment, then headed quickly to the well and looked down into it. So much had happened while she was in the Fudel Era this time. How could she explain her possible pregnancy to her mother? With a sigh, she leaped down the well as a purple scenery faded in around her, transporting Kagome to her own time.

Fwee! Hoo, another good chapter down. n.n I don't have much to say this time except thank you for all the reviews! I love you all! I love you all so much!... OK. Enough of that. C'ya next chapter.
