Been There, Done That

Chapter Two

-----------------------------

Kouga ran on at a headspinningly fast rate. The sound of Kagome and Kouga's hair whipping behind them from the sheer force was accompanied by that of the sound of her skirt flapping sharply against her skin. Kouga glanced out of the corner of his eye at the miko's head that was right next to his own. Her chin rested gently on the crook of his neck and her intense gaze was focused ahead.

"Are you going to tell me what happened?"

She sighed. "It's a long story."

"You said yourself that we wouldn't encounter Kikyou for another 2 days."

"Fine. It starts about a year and a half ago, Sango and Miroku were off taking care of a demon for a friend of Miroku's, leaving myself, Inuyasha, and Shippou alone. Shippou went off to play with some village children. Inuyasha asked if he could speak to me alone..."

----------flashback----------

Kagome watched the silver-haired inuhanyou. He had asked to speak to her alone. It was odd on many different levels, but she didn't care. It must've been abnormally important if he needed to talk to her by themselves.

Inuyasha had his hands hidden within the opposite sleeves of his haori. White dog ears twitched and flicked back and forth, constantly on alert for any signs of danger. He finally sighed.

"What did you need to talk to me about, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked gently, not wanting to get the poor hanyou anymore flustered and frusterated then he already was.

"The Shikon no Tama is complete..." he said awkwardly.

"Yes...? And?"

"You're going to guard it... right?"

"....right?"

"Are you going to keep visiting this era?"

Kagome went quiet for a moment. "If... If it's okay... then yes."

Inuyasha visibly relaxed in relief. Now it would be easier to say... "Kagome?"

"Yes, Inuyasha?"

"I...I..." he stumbled, "I...Oh screw it." He pulled the raven-haired girl flush up against him, his lips pressing against hers in a kiss.

Kagome froze, eyes wide. Without a moments hesitation she responded, eyes slipping shut gently and she leaned further into the kiss.

Inuyasha pulled back, brushing a few stray strands of hair behind her ear. "I love you, Higurashi Kagome, koishii."

She smiled warmly, finally feeling complete. "And I love you, Inuyasha, My Hanyou."

"Okay," Kouga butted in, not really appreciating the thought of His Woman kissing the inuhanyou, "what does that have to do with anything?"

"Just let me finish!" Kagome sighed, "You're the one that wanted to know!"

"Alright, alright!"

"So anyway, Inuyasha had finally told me he loved me, and I him. So, naturally, things are supposed to go smoothly, right? Well, they did for about a month...until..."

--------------flashback------------

Kagome woke with a start in the middle of the night. Frantically, she searched for the familiar white hair and red outfit in the darkness of the hut.

Nothing. Damn.

Kagome felt her heart sink. She had woken to the feeling of her soul being pulled at, a secret sign that she had shared with no one about Kikyou being near. No Inuyasha meant he was seeing her.

Damn.

Kagome carefully got up, replacing her body with her pillow so as not to wake up the sleeping kitsune. She quietly slipped on her shoes and tiptoed out of the hut, then making a silent dash in the direction of which she felt her soul being pulled at.

There they were.

Kagome bit back a gasp of horror.

Her heart skipped a beat.

A tear took no time in falling down her face, dropping and wetting the earth beneath her.

Kagome stood, frozen, eyes glued to the scene before her. There they were... again.

Inuyasha and Kikyou, the claypot.

Inuyasha and Kikyou, kissing.

Inuyasha and Kikyou, pressed up against the mighty Goshinboku.

Inuyasha and Kikyou, deeply involved with eachother.

Inuyasha and Kikyou, practically making out infront of her.

"You son of a-" Kagome didn't bother to finish her sentence. She pulled her bow and arrowed from the quiver at her back, steadily held her bow and loaded it with an arrow, pulled back and...

With a flash of spiritual energy, the arrow purposefully missed its mark and stood straight out proudly next to the hanyou's head, which quickly spun around to see a very upset miko behind him. "Kagome! It's not-"

"Save it, hanyou." Kagome spat, skillfully preparing another arrow for shooting. "You're lucky that I didn't want to hit my mark." Her eyes narrowed, cold and filled with anger. "How could you, Inuyasha? I opened up my heart to you! I suffered for you! I dealt with the horrible names, the constant putdowns, the wave after wave of misery and tears!" More tears threatened to fall, stinging behind her eyes, but Kagome refused to let them fall. "You said that you LOVED ME! You called me beloved!"

"Kagome, please! Listen to me, koishii!"

"Don't dirty my name, hanyou. Don't call me your beloved. Don't even think of me. You're not worth my time." Kagome growled, pulling back the arrow. "Get... the hell... out of my sight."

"Please, please, Kagome! Don't do this! Let me explain!"

"I SAID GET OUT OF MY SIGHT YOU MISERABLE EXCUSE FOR A BEING!" she screamed, not caring how much noise she made.

In seconds Sango, Miroku, and Shippou appeared.

"What's going-?" Miroku stopped, seeing Kagome with an arrow set and ready, Inuyasha looking scared, and Kikyou emotionless as usual. "Uh oh..."

"Sango! Miroku!" Inuyasha looked a bit relieved. "Make Kagome calm down so I can explain!"

"You're lucky I'm not the one holding the bow and arrow, Inuyasha." Sango growled.

"Hanyou, I'll say it one more time before I let the arrow fly and I let you join your claypot in the afterlife." Kagome said, voice deadly calm. "Get... out... of... my... sight..." she said each word slowly, drawing back the arrow a little more with each word.

Throwing a sad look at Kagome, Inuyasha ran off. Kikyou disappeared.

"I'm going home. I'm sick of this crap. I'll be back when I'm ready to face everything again. Ja, minna." Kagome said, releasing the arrow and walking off.

It landed right where Inuyasha's heart had been just moments before.

----------end flashback--------

Kouga was silent until they set up camp 4 hours later.
