A/N: Here I am again! I'm so glad I got a lot of reviews, and it's just my 5th chapter! I'm getting so hyper just reading your reviews. Anyhoo.. Back to the chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.. Blah blah blah.... Aren't you guys getting tired of this? Yeah? So am I!!

Chapter 5- His Realization

Kagome sighed as she watched the water shimmer under the blue moon. It was hard seeing Inuyasha again, but she had to be strong so she wouldn't break down in front of him. It took all her strength to do so. She could tell he was jealous of Koga but what she couldn't get was why. ' If he loves Kikyo, why is he getting jealous again?' Kagome sighed again as she heard a rustle behind her. She knew who it was and right now, she wasn't really in the mood to talk to him.

"I know you're there Inuyasha, I went here to be alone. So could you please just go away and give me the privacy I deserve?"

Inuyasha got out of the bushes and went over to Kagome. He sat down beside her and said nothing. "Why do you need privacy?"

"That is such a stupid question. I don't bug you when you want to be alone," Kagome silently added in her mind 'thinking about Kikyo' "So don't bug me"

"What's wrong with you?! I was just trying to be nice and give you some company" Inuyasha shouted

"Well I don't need company. Especially your company" Kagome snapped

Inuyasha grabbed her arm and pulled her up. He pulled her stubborn chin up and made her look at him. "What's your problem?!"

Kagome pried herself out of Inuyasha's grasp and said in a cold but quiet voice "Do you wanna know what's my problem?" the pain and sorrow in Kagome's eyes made Inuyasha wince slightly. "It's because I love you okay? I can't stop loving you"

"Kagome... we've talked about this"

"Shut up. If you don't love me, why do are you always so jealous when Koga comes visiting me? Why do you keep complaining? Why won't you let me see whoever I want? I never complained when you go running off to Kikyo!"

"This is not about me and Kikyo"

"So it's okay for you to be jealous over me, but I can't get jealous when it comes to you and Kikyo?"

"I- -I just don't want you- - I don't want you getting hurt"

"Well you know what Inuyasha? You're hurting me" Kagome took one last look at Inuyasha and stalked off.

Inuyasha remained sitting by the river, thinking about what Kagome had said. He wanted her to be happy but he somehow felt that losing her to another was painful.' why do I care? I have Kikyo. Kagome can go with someone else if that's what she wants' He threw a pebble into the water. He edged closer to the river. He needed to clear his thoughts. He sat there gazing at the water. Kagome's image appeared on his mind. ' why do I feel like this? What is this feeling?' He was so confused.

Kagome sat down beside him and gazed at the water. He turned to her and his breath caught in his throat. He was mesmerized by her. He realized that he loved this young woman who was sitting beside him. He loved Kagome, and the thought of that, made him guilty. What was Kikyo gonna say? He had promised her he'd protect her and follow her to hell, but right now he wanted to take back that promise. He never really thought of what he was going to miss. In fact, he never really thought of anything.

"Inuyasha... I'm so sorry" Kagome looked at him.

"Nah Kagome... it's me who should be apologizing" Inuyasha gave her a faint smile

"I understand... that you won't return my feelings. I'm sorry if I put you in such a hard time"

"................."

"Maybe it's best if I leave. For good this time, I mean.." Kagome whispered turning her gaze back to the water.

Inuyasha looked at her, horrified. She couldn't leave now! Not now when he realized he loved her. He'll die if she go. "But Kagome... why?"

"Because no matter what... I can't stop myself from loving you, and even though I understand that you don't love me like I love you, it's just so hard... It'll be better for the both of us if I leave"

"Would that make you happy?"

"I- - I- - don't know... but it'll be for the best"

"Kagome, I want you to be happy and I don't want seeing you sad," Inuyasha sighed. "Please tell me if it will make you happy"

"Yes. It would make me happy" Kagome lied, hiding the tears which now stained her face.

Inuyasha was heartbroken. "then you can leave if you want to"
