Chapter 10

Inu yasha jumped over kagome and drew tetsaiga (AN- sorry spelled wrong) protecting the only one who meant something to him in this world with his left arm.

Kagome gasped as his dark hair was washed with silver.

The tip of his sword was pointed at a small toad-like demon.

Jaken stuttered shaking violently until a red line appeared under his nose.

"milord wishes to speak to you, inu yasha."

"oh is that right? Does he want to speak to me or fight me?"

"That is not my decision, that is up to me lord, sesshomaru to decide."

Inuyasha felt kagome moving out of his soft grasp, and his senses told him that she was moving away slowly.

"alright, I'll be right there."

He told jaken and put his sword away eager to see what kagome was up to. He turned towards her and she looked down.

"So you never want to see me again, do you inuyasha?"

"No kagome that's not what I meant-"

"It's kinda ironic really, here you are telling me to get lost like you always are, pushing me away and giving me the cold shoulder. And here I am pouring my heart out to you... heh..."

kagome gave a half hearted smile. The kind that never reached her eyes.

"kinda funny really."

She turned around so that her back was to inuyasha and he could smell the strong scent of salt tears.

"No kagome I didn't mean that... I didn't finish my statement."

He reached out to her and touched her shoulder.

She started to move towards him, stopped herself and moved out of his reach once more.

"don't leave me again kagome please,"

kagome could hear his strangled whispers as she walked out of the forest and towards her horse.

I will never leave your side inuyasha.

The memory of those words haunted her heart as she walked away.

But he killed them, all of those villagers, he almost killed me too, does he have no recollection of that??

Inuyasha hopelessly moved towards her as she walked away from him for the second time.

The first time he didn't do anything and still now he cannot will himself to go and bring her back to him.

He lost her yet again and there was no turning back.

Her quiet figure moved through the trees and disappeared like wind.

Seconds passed like hours.

All of a sudden he heard her gasp and smelled her fear.

another cliffie!
