Kagome lifted herself and returned to her hut, exhausted from her hours of crying. She took out a metal blade and pressed it to her flesh, ready to drag it into a vein. Suddenly, a voice came from the door.

"KAGOME!" Sango rushed in and restrained her distressed friend. "What are you doing, I told you to stop that!"

"Why... Why me, Sango... Why must I hurt so much. He won't let me live my own life... I want it to end..." Kagome whispered dropping he blade to the dirt ground. Sango cradled her friend as she crumpled beneath her and broke down sobbing.

"Kag, don't you understand? I love you... He is just afraid... Give him time..." Sango whispered in her friends ear, while stroking her hair out of her face.
"I DON'T HAVE TIME! I AM DYING HERE SANGO! EVERY DAY HE MAKES ME WAIT IS ANOTHER DAY I WAT TO KILL MYSELF!" Kagome screamed struggling from Sango's grasp unsuccessfully. Sango sighed and grabbed Kagome by the shoulders and looked into her sapphire eyes. Deep within, she could almost feel all the pain in Kagome's eyes, as though a layer of agony had been painted over the shimmering innocence. She no longer was the person that could smile with her purity and make everyone around her happy, she was black on the inside, her soul coated with the impurity of pain. "WHY DOES HE DO THIS TO ME!? CAN'T HE UNDERSTAND I LOVE HIM!?" she cried out, closing her eyes to protect herself from Sango's invading stare.

"Just cry Kagome, It's OK to cry. Shut your eyes, honey... I am here to protect you." Sango murmured laying Kagome down. Kagome lay limply on the bed, sobbing and crying for a few minutes, then fell asleep in the pool of tears she had cried. Sango sighed, phased by the agony Kagome put herself in. She raised herself from the bed, and slowly picked up the razor blade, and threw it angrily into her bag for later disposal. I cant let Kagome hurt herself anymore...

Kagome slept fitfully once Sango left, tossing and turning in her nightmare filled sleep. She tugged at her strands of hair and banged the pillow, attempting at convincing herself to sleep peacefully. But inside, subconsciously, everyone knew Kagome may never reach peace.

While Kagome stirred in her sleep, InuYasha gazed at her from the corner. His amber eyes searched her face for the sense of purity she once held, but his fruitless search discouraged him. He breathed out silently and crawled towards her, careful to not wake her. He neared the bed and inched towards the edge. Rising to his knees, he gazed at her, praying to anyone that she be blessed with the courage to overcome her pain. His pain, the pain he inadvertently caused her. The pain of rejection, of loneliness, of fear and even hatred. He wanted to kiss her, softly and emotionally, give her back all the love she ever wasted on him. He leaned forward, inching his face closer to hers, closing his eyes and preparing to kiss her. Slowly, but passionately, he kissed her, and when their lips met, Kagome opened her eyes, surprised to find InuYasha above her. Her heart melted, finally in tranquility while InuYasha was near her. She kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him downward. He lay next to her on the bed, wrapping his arms around her waist, continuing to return the kiss. He slowly kissed down her neck, leaving a trail of warmth and making Kagome moan in pleasure. She loved him, and here he was, admitting to the truth that was his love or her. She grabbed the sides of his face and pulled it upward to look into his golden eyes.

"Do you... love.. me?" she whispered, choking on the words.

"Kagome, I would never hurt you, I love you so much. You mean the world to me, and I cannot live another day without you knowing how I feel" InuYasha admitted, pausing afterwards, preparing for rejection.

"I..." She began. InuYasha winced, preparing to hear the hard and cruel words of his past. "have always loved you, Inu." InuYasha breathed a sigh of relief, and buried his head in her hair. He breathed in her jasmine scent, lulled into temptation by her sweet aroma. Slowly e began kissing her neck again, and lowering his hand under skirt. She ran her hands over his chest, feeling the muscled through the red fabric of his kimono. She carefully untied the belt of his kimono as he passionately licked at her neck, continuing to remove her skirt. She moaned in pleasure as he ran is hand over her breast, and eventually pulled off her skirt. She raised her hands to her shirt, and pulled it over her head. InuYasha sighed contently, This should be interesting.
