Chapter 1- Breaking One's Heart

Inuyasha awoke in the middle of the night after a horrible nightmare. He glanced around at the sleeping figures around him. He stood up and crept quietly into the forest hoping nobody would notice that he was gone. He sniffed the air and caught the familiar scent that had always haunted him. The scent of the woman he swore he would always protect no matter what. Kikyo

Inuyasha ran following the scent. He reached a small clearing and searched for her. He spotted a figure moving silently and quietly. There she was. She turned around and faced him

"Kikyo.." Inuyasha whispered

"Inuyasha. Tell me.. Why do you always follow me? Why do you always come running whenever you smell my scent? Do you still love me?" Kikyo looked at him with a look of both hatred and love in her eyes.

"You know I'll follow you wherever you go. I– I love you" Inuyasha reached out to touch Kikyo's cheek.

"Inuyasha.." Kikyo wrapped her arms around Inuyasha, pulling him close to her. Inuyasha embraced her back whispering soft, gentle things into her ear.

Uknown to prying eyes, Kagome had followed Inuyasha into the forest and had heard everything. Heartbroken, Kagome turned around and quietly went back to camp. She thought nobody would notice her but she was wrong. Inuyasha had smelled her scent and immediately regretted saying what he said to Kikyo. He released her and went after Kagome.

Kagome sighed as someone jumped from beside her. She started to scream as Inuyasha clamped a hand over her mouth.

"Shhh.. Kagome it's me"

"I-Inuyasha?" Kagome asked nervously, frightened that he knew she saw everything. Heard everything...

"Kagome... what are you doing here?"

"N-nothing... I- - I-I was just taking a stroll.."

"In the middle of the night?"

"Y-Yeah.. I couldn't sleep.." Kagome looked down at her feet hiding the look of misery etched in her face.

"Me neither. C'mon let's go back to camp and get some sleep" Inuyasha wasn't ready to talk to her about what happened just yet.

Kagome sighed and followed him. Too many times, Inuyasha broke her heart. He would never tell her anything concerning his private life but he knew everything about her didn't he? She would never complain every time he ran off to meet Kikyo, yet he always got jealous whenever she was with Koga and Hojo. She couldn't understand him, and might never will. Too many times he pushed her away, but she always came back hurt but she pretended not to mind. Always he insulted her and he always got his punishment but she never tried to tell him how much he hurt her. How could he not understand her? He always seemed to lead her on and in the end he always managed to break her heart, without even knowing. Or is it because he didn't care at all? Too many times he had entered her dreams and nightmares, sometimes loving her and sometimes pushing her away. Fantasies of him saying he loved her filled her mind. Every time she hoped he would say those three precious words to her. Her not Kikyo. How could she love such a beast? He was a demon. So unlike her human self. But she didn't care if he was a demon. He loved him for who he was. Inuyasha.
